r. HELENA, Ark, May 9th, 1853
Mr.. Z. DUNHAM.-Str: Enclosed send
you slip cut from the Argus of April 18th
copied from the Chicago Times, purportns,
to represent the feelings and wishes of the
10Th, 33d and 36th Iowa Regiments bnt
which is such a base misrepresentation
of the facts in the case that it il deemed
necessary to give you a true statement in
reference to the feelings and motives of tbe
soldiers in the above named regiments
The first paragraph begins with an nm
truth, as 1 verify believe, having made
diligent enquiry through those regiments
and found not one man who had been con-
suited as indicated. The next sentence is
equally unfair, and does not represent the
true state of our feelings. The writer saws
''we believe, as Douglas and other men be
fore us did, that war is disunion, and we
believe this war can never be settled by
fob phNr ri Of of
Union" What in the name of common
sense is the writer of the above in the army
for? But enough of such stuff.
Mr.. Editor, the soldiers of Iowa, now
in the field, feel just as patriotic as ever
before, and could they find out the coward
ly sneak who wrote the above article for
the Chicago Times would treat him with
that contempt his copperheadism deserves
AS soldiers of our common heritage, we.
are determined to fight the enemies of
our glorious Union, on the Tallehatchie
at Vicksburg, or wherever they may be
found we not feel discouraged, but are
fully determined to conquer or die. The
article under review says, lin regard to
sending more men to the South to sicken
and die, we say to you, stay at home.''--
Another misrepresentation of our wishes.
Send on all the men you possibly can, as
soon as you can-enforce the conscript act
and fill up the ranks of our regiments, so
that we may be enabled to make short
work of this wicked rebellion. There is
no halfway ground about it, the soldiers
of the three regiments named utterly re-
pudiate the puerile production in question,
and think the gentleman who wrote it
must have been possessed of a morbid liv-
er. 1t is rather aggravating for us to know
that any one would undertake to write
home and pretend to give the truth and
really give nothing but tissue of false
hoods. Yours, j. Il. YOUNG,

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.
The Republicans of Iowa are requested to send
Slcleeates to the State Convention, to be held In
he City of Des Moines, on "WEDNESDAY the 18th
of JUNE, 1858, to commence at 10 O'Clock, A. NJ,
for the purpose of placing in nomination, to be
voted for at the ensuing October election, candi-
dates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and
one Judge of the Supreme Court, and for the
transaction of such other business rs may prop
erly come before the Convention.
The ratio of representation will be the same, as

One delegate to each organized county, and one
delegate additional for each 100 votes cast at the
last Presidential election for Hon. Abraham Lin
coin as President of the United States. Fraction
al votes of so or more will be entitled to an ad-
ditional delegate. All citizens without distinc-
tfon of party who are heartily In favor of sus-
tanning the Government in the use of all Consti-
tutional and necessary War measures for the spec
dy and complete suppression of the Rebellion,
and the punishment of Treason; who are oppos.
ed to the schemes designed to bring anarchy and
bloodshed to our own firesides by dividing the
Free States into hostile and petty Confederacies
and who still believe in the good old doctrine Of
General Jackson, The Union-it must and shall
be preserved are cordially invited to unite in
sending delegates.
County Central Committees are requested tt
take such steps as will insure full attendance al
the Convention, and thorough and efficient or
ganiZation in their respective counties.

From the seth Iowa.

The feeling of the Army-Erpression of SEN
ttment by the Iopd Soldiers on The Idile-
hdtchte.
TALLEHATcHIE RIVER, Miss, March %.
To THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO TIMES:
We, the soldiers Of the 10Th, 33d and 36th
Regiments Of Iowa Volunteer Infantry,
think and believe it our duty to do some
thing to let the folks at home know our feel
ings i'll regard to the civil war now exist
ing.
We believe, as Douglas and other men
before us did, that war is disuniOn, and we
believe this war never can be settled bv
fighting, short ofa separation of our Union.
We also condemn the present policy of car
rylng on the war, as the slave-the negro.
we mean, of the South-is in better con-
dition than if freed, and we believe, if
freed, he would be a curse to our country,
We have become convinced that the pre-
sent war has been run into an abolition
crusade, to satisfy selfish designs; and we,
as true men to our country, the constitu-
ton and the laws, do most earnestly ask
and pray our friends at home to look to
their best interests and the interest of their
friends i'll the army, and by some means to
settle the present difficulty between the
North and South, for we can never settle it
by fighting under the present policy, and
we Know no other means to apply to, 9th
er than our friends at home. Prisoners
say that all they want is to have their
rights guaranteed to them, and they will
never raise another gun. Have they not
rights under the constitution as well as the
North? .s..
In regard to sending more men to the
South to slcken an die, we say to you stay
at home. Coming here is only to feed and
I'LL the pockets of another set of hungry of
fice-seekers. We have more men than we
want t,--more than we have good Generals
TO lead. To these ends we ask the loyal
democrats Fand the loyal republicans to
hear our most humble requests.
We also condemn a set of resolutions got
ten up some time since and read on dress
parade, and forced through, which, we un-
derstand, were sent to Iowa and published
in the Burlington and Mt. Pleasant papers,
and others. 1t was an officers scheme, or,
rather, blind for the folks in the North
west. To-day they could not get five votes
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye., 1863-05-23

rs~ Adjutant General Thomas reports,
it is said, that ten negro regiments are al
ready ornanized and full, in Gen'l Grants
Department, and that the business of re-
cruiting is still going on with the best
prospects for ten more within a short time.
That is pleasant news to us and to all who
desire the rebellion to be suppressed. We
suppose the rebels are not gratified by it
any more than are the Copperheads. Both
of these classes are beginning to find out
that the negroes are both able and willing
to fight when they have Il sufficient mo-
tive. They no longer call the blacks cow
ards. But then it is so outrageous for
white traitors to be beaten by dark skin
ned patriots! 1t must be hard to bear-for
them.
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye., 1863-05-23

E The late Copperhead Mayor Of Gin
cinnati is trying to diddle that city out of
the sum of $3.50, which sum he says is
due him as fees for $3.50 licenses issued by
him while in office. Nothing stands be-
tween him and the money, we understand,
but an Ordinance which provides that the
Mayor shall receive s., 900 per annum, and
no other fee, emolument or perquisite
whatever! Mr.. Hatch is afflicted with
the same sort of modesty which troubles
the rest of the Copperheads. They are ter
ribly opposed to any robbery of the public
treasury-unless they do it themselves
If they can do it, then it is all right, and
the more of it they can the more do they
approve it.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The amount of the
public indebtedness on the Sth day of May
last, as officially. stated, was 1888, 242 "a.
Of this sum, $67 ,22l ,59l 80 is old-that is,
was incurred before the outbreak of the ex-
isting civil war. leaving little more than
nine hundred millions to be charged up
against the traitors whose insane bloodthirs-
tiness has caused it's expenditure. When
they come to pay it, as pay it they must,
probably they will think treason, rebellion,
and the long catalogue of attending crimes,
rather expensive amusements, even for the
chivalry to indulge in.
LOOKING AFTER THEM.-In the United
States Court, now sitting at Des Moines,
Judge Williams, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, instructed them to inquire into the
existence of organizations within this Dis
trict having for their object resistance to
the laws and authority of the United States.
rs Robert T. Blackwell, well known
lawyer of Chicago, author of "Black-
well on Tax Titles "Blackwelrs Con-
densed Reports and "Blackwell's Re
vised Statutes of Illinois, died at his resi-
dence in that city on Saturday morning
last. His illness was typhoid fever and OF
but few days continuance. He was a ma
tive of Illinois, and born at Nashville in
the year 1925.

ROBINSON CRUsoEs.-A Valparaiso cor
respondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser says that Spanish steamer re-
Gently arrived at the former port, bringing
two men from an island near Cape Horn,
where they had been living, after ship
wreck, for twenty-three years! If the re-
port be true, what a tale these men must
have to tell! But we fear that they are not
likely to find man who can tell their story
for them as we'll as was that of the sailor
immortalized under the name of Robinson
Crusoe.

rs We believe pretty much all the tele-
graphic reports of last week have been
pronounced false or unreliable. So we can
take new start, and trust that we may get
little truth in the future. But, as canards
seem to be the order of the day, we must
try and not be too credulous.
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye., 1863-05-23

JACKSON CAPTURED.-Ther rebels seem to
acknowledge that Gen. Grant has captured
Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, which
is situated about forty miles east of Vicks-
burg. AS the report came to us yesterday
from two distant and Independent rebel
sources, we incline to the opinion that it is
true. If it is correct, Grant has made a
long stride towards the capture of vicks-
burg, aside from the actual loss inflicted
upon the rebels by the seizure of their mil
ltary depot and their only line of commu-
nlcation and support by railroad. The on
ly question remaining is, whether he has
force enough to maintain his position
against the forces at Vicksburg and such
additional reinforcements as may be push
ed forward to their assistance. If he has
these, as we presume he has, Vicksburg
must shortly fall. The rebels, it appears
to us, Will have do one of two things,-eith-
or retreat up the Yazoo, or remain and be
starved out. We make no predictions, be-
cause we have no means of knowing what
are the comparative forces, or what advan-
tages OF position still remain to the trai-
tors. But from our imperfect information
we indulge the hope that Grant will at
last be able to crack the nut which has ra-
sisted him so long, and that very speedily.

RS-The Richmond Enquirer, says that

if that is the case, will the Enquirer credit
us with that number? If there are many of
these "fifty thousand men, equivalents
among the Confederate officers, what an
enormous army they have TO be sure! If
Jackson equalled fifty thousand, we won
der what Lee is rated at? He ranked jack
son, and ought to be the better and more
valuable officer. Is he equal to one hun
dred thousand?

persume, to know that "evil communica-
tions corrupt the morals of all who bark

world and from human tongues without
calling "spirits from the vasty deep to
give them utterance.

yzS- On and after June 1st, the provis-
ions OF the Excise Law in regard to stamps
on written instruments will go into full
operation. After that date all instruments
which by law are required to be stamped,
are declared absolutely null and void un-
less bearing stamps as the law enacts. All
who execute or receive such instruments
after that time, will do well to make sure
that they are made valid. 1t will save
trouble and prevent future losses.

A VoRACIoUs PIKE.-Albert Pike, the
Arkansas rebel and recusant Yankee, is
reported to be under arrest at Little Rock,
in that State, under charge of defrauding
the soldiers. We shouldn't wonder if the
charge were true. A Yankee who goes in
for "niggerism," treason and other such
infamies, wouldn't hesitate at lining his
pockets at the expense of any who are fool
ish enough to believe in or follow him.
But still we don't see why it should be
deemed an offense down in that region to
"financier'' after that sort. 1t lis but fol-
lowing the example of the whole tribe of
traitors. They are trying to steal the very
ground they stand on. Why should mt
Pike take slices

gss~ The Copperheads have been making
great deal of noise about the three hum
dred dollar exemption clause in the Con-
scription Law. 1t is now reported that the
Secretary of War finds the clause inopera-
tive, and construes it in such manner as is
equivalent to it's absolute nullity. Our
Constitution-loving friends of the Copper
head persuasion, will, of course, be delight
ed at this announcement! We see the
smiles upon their faces already!

rs" A Soldiers Rest has been estab-
lished in New York City, and was to be
opened for active operations yesterday. 1t
will furnish returning soldiers with tempo
and information as they may require, while
passing through that city on their way to
and from the armies in the field, without
cost. Accommodations for five hundred
men can be given at once. Such an insti-
tuition is needed at that city, and it will do
a vast amount of good directly, and even
more indirectly, to the great body of SOL
dlers hourly passing through that city,
we hope 1t will meet with eminent encour-
agement and success.
