Latest Vicksburg dates say that the work

opens by stating that while he thought him

himself rs All enemy of the press. He then
gives the restrictions he placed upon papers
in Memphis while the city was under his CON-
mand. These were, no publication Of movc-
ments Of troops, and no comments upon mo-
tiyes and conduct Of Union officers. He
thinks properly that all men must forego their

obey the law, not because Law was to their

CAIRO, Feb. g, 1853.
The steamer Lady Pike arrived last evening
with Memphis dates to tic afternoon Of Thurs
day. The most important mntter contained
in the papers is the statement that the Captain,
other officers and crew Of the steamer Her
cules, burned By guerillas opposite the city,
near the Arkansas shore, last week, returned
to Memphis. They were paroled. They were
twenty in all. The statement Of the manner
Of their capture is interesting. It was on
Tuesday last that the Hercules with several
barges Of coal reached the point where the
Little Rock River Landing used to be, when
fog compelled them to land. A number Of
people standing about were taken for citizens,
but soon produced arms and demanded the
surrender Of the crew, One deck hand be-
came alarmed and ran, was fired upon and
killed. The guerillas then plundered the
steamer, and finished By setting her on fire.
{Ehey. then proceeded to parole the prisoners,
bit were interrupted -by the nr73Tal OF gun:
boats with shell. They rctreated with their
prisoners into the country some fifteen miles,
where the job was completed.

By an order issued from the Office
of the Provost Marshal General at
Washington under date of Sept. 18th,
1868, and addressed to Governors 0!
Western States, ii appears that oppor
tunity is given to raise our quota Of
new troops by volunteering and save
ordering q draft. The pay to veteran
volunteers is the same as heretofore an
nounced, namely: one months pay in
advance and a bounty and premium
amounting to $4,000 payable in diff
ferent installments. To all other men
mot veterans) accepted and enlisted,
the government will give one months
pay in advance, and in addition q
bounty and premium amounting to
$4,000 payable in different INSTALL
ments--total pay before leaving the
State $40. If these volunteers wrc
honorably discharged, before the .ax
piration of three years, they will re
ceive the whole of the above pay OIL
if they die in the service the money
will be paid to their heirs. Truly
Uncle Sam is liberal with his boys.

came to Neosho, in Newton county,
where were stationed two companies

bered some ten or twelve hundred, but
their numbers daily augmented from

unless it be to relieve Quantrile and
his cut-throats, by giving them an op.
portunity of getting out of the reach
of Union forces, by whom they are in
danger of being captured. In this
case the affair may be regarded as a
raid, and the rebels will endeavor to

they can, and return to Prices army

The election in this county on Tuesday
passed off quietly and to the satisfaction of all
loyal men. The Union majority is about 500.
The day was beautifully pleasant, and the vote
was larger than that of last year. The Union
majority is increased to nearly 100 votes great
CIR than it was one year ago.
The 18th Of October, 1863 is memorable
day in the history of Iowa. A great political
battle, for freedom and Union, has been fought
and won! The glorious consequences that
will flow out from this result are inestimable.
Our soldiers in the field will take new heart
and courage and fight more valiantly than
ever before. BY this signal defeat of the Cop
perhead Peace Democracy, the last prop and
hope of the JEFF. Davis conspiracy in Iowa falls
to the ground at once and forever! We can

ought just to call at Ellerman's, and
you will find it profitable to buy your
