Committee of Engineers vas, that it was con-
eeivcd that engineers we're the only capable

Of the question.
They donot propose to put the Convention to
the expense ofresuryeying. It had all the plans,

examine those dates. If other works were

Horrible AtrOcity-A Lieutenant
Of the 9TH Iowa Hung by Guer-
.,

Extract from private letter dated Corinth, Aug. 81
On the morning of July Both, our foraging
party, consisting Of five teams and fifty men,
started out in search Of food. When not
many miles from camp we were surprised by
guerrillas, it being in swamp. Lieut.. Dill
on, First Lieutenant of company G, 7th Iowa.,
was in command, and being in advance, he,
with Gu rtermaster Sergeant Ray, was cap
tured and carried away into the swamp, and
Lee Bean, who was wagon master, was killed
on the spot We gave pursuit as soon as
possible but were unable TO discover them,
although we secured the swamp with infan-
and cavalry We were obliged to return
without knowing what had become of our
commander, whose loss was much regretted
by all who knew him On August 9th he
was found about nine miles from Corinth
hanging to tree, where he had been left by
these merciless fiends Serg't RAY has not
been found, but we presume he suffered the
same fate. The guerrillas will hide in swamps
and when mans back is turned they will
shoot him B.,
And these (says the writer) are the men
whom Mr.. Thayer and other Copperheads
call "our brethren" They may be his they
are not ours But the worst I wish him is
that he may be drafted and fall into the hands
of the bushwhackers. They would soon tes
tify their love, and send him to count coppers
with the flther of Copperheads. R.

Northern and Southern Rebels.
What is the difference between E. II. Thayer
and Southern rebels? Both rail out on the
unconstitutional acts of the Administration,
the employment of negro soldiers, the suppress
sion of the writ Of habe0s corpus, &C., in the
North, but not word have they to say in
condemnation of the arch traitor, Jeff. Davis,
and his despicable minions, who have not
only raised their perjured hands to destroy
the Constitution-to trail, spit upon, trample
under foot and commit to flames the stars and
stripes, the emblem of the glorious heritage
secured under God through the privations,
sufferngs, blood and lives of the heroes of
,76, and transmitted to us by our patriotic
fathers-but they have plunged our once
happy and prosperous country into terrible
civil war. They have not only employed the
negro, but the Indian savage they have ta-
ken the lives of thousands of true and honest
men because they would not aid in carrying
out their nefarious designs. They have not
only suspended the writ Of habeas corpus,
but have trampled upon and disregarded ev-
cry constitutional right Of loyal citizens
They have made bereaved hearts, orphans and
widows by multiplied thousands, and deluged
the land with tears and blood. They have
sanctioned and encouraged high-handed rob-
berries and murders of the most atrocious
character They have exhibited principles,
designs and practices malignant enough for
the foulest demon in the lower regions.

ticle that the Hon Egg'd Editor of the Cowr-
ter has been directly guilty of the above
outrages, but he has indirectly. | have read
his reasonable sheet for the last year, and
have no recollection of-ever seeing one SEN
tence against jeff. Davis and his followers
If the administration had arrested him when
it did Mahoney and other traitors in Iowa, it
would have been blessing to Muscatiue and
vicinity. If there is drop Of true Democrat
blood in Thayer's veins it has long since been
extracted. s..s.Ns ~

Hestated that martial law had been declared
in Kentucky preceding the recent election, in
view Of the fact that an invading foe was on
its borders, and with design to give all
loyal men chance to cast their suffrages un-
molested. The disloyal had no right to ap-
proach the ballot box, ard therefore have no
right to complain. He complimented Ken

that he had found it the, most loyal State in
his department, and had'so reported at Wash

ARMIES OF THE DEAD.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press writes from New
Brandy Station, Va, under date of Aug 9th
Last night l slept upon historic ground
The white bones of those who had been slain
before gave forth a ghastly CLEAN when the
soft moonlight shimmered down upon them
through the heavy foliage. But short dis
tance from here can be seen the perfect skele-
ton OF large sized man The bare skull,
with its great hollow, eyeless sockets, was
there; the long finger bones and each partic-
ular rib was in its place. All was bare and
white and ghastly. No; forgot to mention
that well preserved pair of boots still en-
cased what were the soldiers feet, but in
whose friendly cover now ratified the shin
bones Of the deceased. The wayward winds
played through the cavity of the chest, and
sighed through the empty skull, which gave
forth long, melancholy wa;l-the only dirge
that has there been played, save the requiem
which the song birds twitter from the neigh
boring trees The bones OF the hol Sc bleached
close by the side Of his master. r......t
When the last great trump of the mighty
Archangel summons forth the quick and the
dead, whole armies will start from the banks
of the Rappahannock. Every ford is memor-
able for some deadly fight, from Kelly's to
Beverly's, and in one trail Of Pope's army the
bones of the foe bleached and mouldered, and
mingled their ashes together.

H This war of the rebellion has been
sanguinary enough to fill the whole land with
mourning, and yet there have been wars far
more destructive of life. Itappears from the
best historical testimony, that of one million
two hundred thousand men enrolled in the
armies of France in 1913, only 100000 were
alive in 1914, and that the loss Of the Allied
Powers in the wars with Napoleon was, &C.
cording to the London Times, not less than
"fem millions Of men in the prime Of ife."

CONDITION OF THE South -wEsT-The en-
tire territory west of the Mississippi will very
soon be brought under complete subjection.
Gen. Davidson is moving down through the
center of Arkansas, having frequent skir-
lnishes with the rebels and whipping them in
every instance. Beside this, there is another
and very important expedition about starting
which is expected to finish the rebellion
throughout the Southwest.
Throughout Arkansas and Louisiana the
slaves are being run off to Texas, until very
few are left. Some of them escape and fly to
the river, while many others are shot, burned,
whipped, or tied and carried off. Rule or
destroy is the motto of shareholders every
where.
