Our true meaning, in an article referring to
the 10th Iowa, seems to have obtained an
erroneous construction. Some friends Of the
members of that gallant fighting regiment
seem to understand our language as meaning
that the 10th would vote for Byington, Ma
honey and Thayer, as readily as for futile,
without qualification. What we intended to
say and we think we succeeded, was that the
10th would as readily vote for Tuttle, stand
ing Upon an anti-war-peac on any terms
platform, as for Bylngton, Mahoney, &C.,
Every Democratic candidate for Office in
Iowa and especially in this county, last year,
advocated more vigorous prosecution of the
war. Yet the 10th gave Union majority,
thereby endorsing the war policy of the
Government. But the scales now being
turned and that party now advocating gen.
erous and magnanimous peace" we do moi
believe that even fighting Democratic reg
iment will stultify its previous record. II
they do, however, under mistaken idea O.
duty to the State, vote as they have neve,
fought, we still believe there are many sol
diers outside Of the 10th who will vote as
they fght-for an unconditional surrender
to the Federal Government. The 10th has
as much stock in this war as any other regi.
ment, and whatever it may do in the matter Of
voting, we know that whenever it meets the
armed foes of the Government it will push
forward to victory. We judge its future by
its past. Far be it from us to detract in the
least from the full share of honor and glory
belonging to any regiment, or individual
member thereof who has sacrific cd ease, com.
fort, home, friends and life itself, to suppress
a causeless and unholy rebellion, because
from their stand point they cannot vote as
we DO.
The gallant officer to whom we referred, in
connection with the 10th, has no warmer
friends than us-we are honestly opposed on
the great questions of the day. But to init
mate that because he regards it as his duty to
support the Democratic candidate, that he
who has stood heroically at his post of duty
and danger, Drawing death at the lannon's
mouth, is any less patriot because of his
political faith or personal preference, is to in
suit the honor and patriotism of heroes.
The issue to-day is the same presented at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson-an uncondi.
tional surrender of rebels. The 10th bravely
fought and toiled for its accomplishments
cannot, it will not now vote for peace on any
terms, save a return to their former allegi
ance by the rebellious people OF the South.
Boys of the 10th, you may vote against
your friends and the Union ticket and for
those who have denounced you as ''mnions, "
"hirelings' and infamous wretches sent forth
to commit the infamous crimes of rape, bur.
g'ary, arson and larceny-while we shall be-
lieve you misguided and mistaken, we shall
still honor you as the brave defenders Of our
common country.

HOMICIDE AT Rock ISLAND The name of
the man killed at Rock Island last Sunday
afternoon was George W. Sinnett. He was
shot deliberately with revolver by Daniel
Thralkild, in the yard of the house in which
the two men lived. The difficulty originated
in quarrel between the children of the two
families. The two men had fsticuff fight
about it, in which Sinnett worsted Thralkld.
The latter then went to the house, got out his
pistol, hid himself behind fence, and when
his adversary appeared in the yard, shot and
killed him instantly. The murderer attempt
ed to escape, but was overtaken, and together
with his wife, who appears to have instigated
the bloody deed, was lodged in Jail. Both the
families had recently removed from Iowa
Sinnett from Mahaska county and Thralkild
from Wapello county.

CoNFIscArIoN OF A DIsTILLERY IN INDIANA.
The distilery of Mr.. John thinner, of
Harrison, has been "confscated" by the Col
lector of Internal Revenue for Dearborn
county, for false returns of business under the
revenue law made by its owner. He was
repeatedly notified Of his errors, but failed to
correct them, and in trying to save a few
drops at the spigot has lost everything at the
bung. We believe he contemplates getting
an opinion from Attorney Gen. Hord that
the revenue law is unconstitutional, and then
applying to Judge Perkins for an eectment
of the United States officer from his premises.

in some quarters that, owing to exemptions,
