The Gallant Eighteenth.
Air Red, White and Blue.

Air: Red, White and Blue.
By NESS NO. l. COMPANY Z, 18TH IOWA.
When the South our laws bid defiance,
And iusultngly tossed up her head;
When in traitors she put her reliance,
And marshalled the chivarly -bred;
Whom, with her vile rattlesnake banner
At the front of her cOwardly crew,
she beasted, in true Southern manner
To tear down the R.d, White and Blue:
Choru,-To tear down the Red, White and Blue.
To tear down the Red, White and Blue
She boosted in true Southern manner,
To tear down the Red, White and Blue.
Then one shout of deep indignation.
Like wild fire ran through the land,
And kindled the ire of the nation
From New York to Oregon's strand.
From her farms fair Iowa was sending,
From office and shop, her sons true,
Like heroes to fight in defending
The flag of the Red, White and Blue:
Chorus The ia Y of the Red, &c.
Our homes and our hearths We are leaving,
Wives, mothers and sweet-hearts behind,
Oh! dear ones, now do not be grieving,
In God protector you'll find.
For time though our ties we must sever,
We as vlctors will come back to you;
Let towards desert, but we'll never
Abandon the Red, White and Blue:
CAorus:-Abandon the Red, &c.
We around q brave chief did assemble,
And proudly our standard unfurled.
Determined to make the foe tremble,
Who madly his gauntlet had hurled
With his locks in the autumn breeze streaming,
Gallant Edwards his keen sabre drew,
While we swore by his bright blade cleaning,
To die for the Red, White and Blue.
CAorus.-To die for the Red, White, DC.
At Utonia the vandals had gathered,
To arrest our onward career,
But like chat in a tempest, they scattered,
Fleet-footed and trembling with fear.
Springfield, too. all covered aud CORY.
With Hindman's and Marmaduxe's crew,
Will prove coming ages the glory
And fame of the Red, White and Blue.
Gorus-And fame of the Red, &c.
Redeemed is that country from thralldom
And Fayetteville the old flag sees wave;
The down. trodden all we give freedom,
And loosen the chains of the slave.
For the Eighteenth will always endeavor,
To stand by its colors so true;
Three cheers for the Union forever,
Gen. HERON apd the Red, White and Blue.
CAorus-Gen. Heron and the Red, &c,

WA brave and honest man, in the per-
son of Capt A. B. Miller, Of the S9d Iowa,
has gone to his long home. We knew him
well, but only to love and admire him. For
four years previous to Jan. 1st., 1868, he was
the prompt and efficient Register of the State
Land office. No man in Iowa had gathered
q wider or more numerous circle of friends.
A man of rather delicate frame, we wondered
at his entering the field of active service.
Poor Miller-we have wept over the death
Of many hero, during this terrible war,
but over none have we felt deeper sorrow
than in this case. Capt. A. B. Miller has
gone to a new field of service, and his many
sterling qualities are his monument in the
present-an honest man, faithful citizen
and true patriot has fallen.
BOLD RoBBERY.-A young lady from La
Sale, Illinois, was robbed Of seventy-ive dol
lars, on the cars between Fulton and Wilton,
Saturday night, by man and woman with
whom she had formed slight acquaintance.
They loaned her newspaper which had previ-
ously been saturated with ether, to read,
which soon put her into . sound sleep, from
which she did not awaken until she arrived
at Wilton, when she found that her new &C.
quaintances had disappeared, bearing with
them her carpet sack, containing all Of her
money, about seventy-fve dollars. She came
on to this city where she was fortunate enough
to find kind hearted family, with. whom she
is now stopping until she can hear from her
father in La Sale.

The Philadelphia Press says a short time
since Charles Ingersoll, the second leading
Copperhead in that city, invited VIM. a. Por-
ter, widely known and life long Democrat Of
Green county, to address tic Central Demo-
cratic Club of Philadelphia, and fixed upon
last Saturday evening as the time for that
purpose. Mr.. Porter appeared at the meet
Ing, and, when presented by the Chairman
WIS received with great cordially. In the
cou1se Of Lis speech he took occasion to SAY
that he was "fighting Democrat, aud, for

tion in its efforts to suppress tic rebellion"
He further declared TINT he would never per-
nit any ono to call him Coppcrhead," )" u

and hostility to Its glorious Institutions. A.

plised that loyalty should have dared thus

choice phrases Ar. Porter's yoic. was COM
rletc]y drowned by the louder noise of the

friends and associates, convinced Mr.. Porter
that he was travelling with crowd who
meant nothing but treason; and on the fol-
lowing Monday evening he dropped into the

The arrest Of Fallandigham has done
one useful thing, it has stripped the mask
off the Copperheads, and revealed to the
country their real principles and intcn-
tons. They have asserted many million
times that they were not opposed to the
prosecution Of the war, but wanted the re-
bellion put down; that what they objected
to, was the mode in which it was conduct
ed. They wanted it waged by conscrva-
live generals on conservative principles,
least the Constitution might be violated.
Their great solicitude has been to preserve
that instrument from injurY9 Behind this
parapct the Copperheads entrenched thenl-
selves, and opened their batteries upon the
rear Of the Union army. Under tic living
prctence Of regard for the Constitution
they have necessarily assailcl the defend
crs Of tile Union and the Constitution.
But the arrest Of Yallandigham has turned
their position and exposed their concealed
purpose to public view. The passionate
sympathy they exhibit for the treason
shrieker; the loud cries raised in his be-
half; the fierce threats they hurl at the
Government, all show that their leader,
their embodiment, their representative
man has been touched. The Queen Bee OF
Inc Copperhead hive has been arrested,
tried, found guilty, and instead Of being
hung' as he deserved, has been sent South
10 his friends. This has stirred up the
whole nest, andtley are buzzing about as
Epitcfully rs so many wasps.
Vallandigham took sides with the rc,,c,s
before the war began. He was in full sym.
pathy with them when they seeded, and
justified them in going out Of the Union
When the rebels made war upon the Gov.
eminent, seized the public property, ant
bombardcd and captured Fort Sumpter, h
opened not his mouth in apprehension, bu
apologiscd for their deeds. He voted agains
every bill introduced into Congress To- rails
men and money for the public defence. Il
voted against pay and pension to the sol
dicrs. Hc voted and spoke against raisln
soldiers or building gunboats, He strenu
ously opposed every measure Of Congres
having for it's object the salvation OF III

making an attack upon forage party from
the 1et Kansas (colored) volunteers, stationed
at Buffers Springs. The Springs are about
sixty miles from Fort Scott, and amid the
Bushwhackess Of livingston. I now send
you tho correct account Of the affair.
It may give you little insight Of the Bush
Hhacking hordes warfare as now carried on,
on this frontier.
On the 18th Of this month twenty five black
soldiers and twenty-threc men belonging to
the I'd battery, {Biair's) were sent out after
forage. The blacks were on foot and carried
Springfield muskets. Tho battery men were
mounted and armed with pistols. Some d
them had only one pistol each, and without
| ammunition, except what was in their pistols
| TIT ammunition for the blacks was carried ir
| Il wagon, and was not distributed to the men
| The arms Of the blacks were stacked near the
forage wagon, five in number.
Piekcts we're sent out On the road, and in ;
| field to watch the enemy. Tho battery neI
were the guard and picket. The blacks wer'
in q house getting corn; (it was at plac'
called sbcrT ood, Eix.or eight miles from th'
camp,) when Liyingston's gang rushe,
upon them, killed The guard at tn
wagon, and Of course seized the arms Of tn
soldiers. The unarmed blacks broke for tn
bushes. Thirteen Of the blacks we're killed
and three Of the battery men; also one blac@
wounded and two missing; twa Of the butter,
men arc prisoners, Maj. Ward ofthe colore
volunteers was in command Of the Who'll
force. The affair on the Union side was n
inexcusablc hlunder, or rather i criminal neg
lect. Five or six busllwAackers are said t
be killed. Col Williams hus since bnrnc
