EXPLOIT OF AN Iowa Boy AT V1cKsBURG.-
Where the hardest fighting has been done in
the Southwest, the Iowa troops have gener-
ally had hand in it. Lieut.. Col. H. G.
Wartmoth, of Gen. Netherlands staff, relates
an interesting incident of the fight of tAe 22d
ult. in the rear of Vicksburg, to this effect.
Sergeant Joseph Griffith, of Co. l, 22d
Iowa, took eleven men, and with them drove
squad of rebel gunners from an earthwork
and held it for some time. The rebels were
REINFORCED, and on returning, killed the
eleven men, Griffith being knocked insensiole
to the ground.
The rebe.s were occupied in the work, and
continued to fire at our men. Just as they
had discharged all their pieces, Griffith re-
turned to consciousness, and Selling his mus
ket, jumped to his feet and demanded that
they should surrender. Their muskets being
eupty and his loaded, he forced them, ten in
number, to comply. He made them lle down
and say there until he found q convecient
opportunity to march them within our lines,
which he did in safety. Besides this, he
killed one Captain by shooting him, and
knocked down two men with the butt of bis
musket. Griffith is represented as quite o
youth, but, we can sec, not lacking in courage.
Many instances of this character find their
way into print, but few 60 we'll authenticated
as this, for the entire truth OF which Col.
Wartmoth vouches personally.

WHAT IT Cosrs.-Any parties who may
feel disposed to ignore the provisions Of the
Internal Revenue Law in reference to licences,
will find the following interesting item for
perusal: r." '-- -
"Some parties in Cincinnati refused recent
" to take out license, under the Internal
Revenue regulations, to retail liquors, and
determined to test the validity Of the law in
the high courts. The law requires each re-
tail dealer to take out license and pay
twenty dollars annually. These articles had
their respective cases tried and had to pay
judgment Of eighty-two dollars rendered
sg inst them. Two physicians in Indiana
disputed the right of collector to claim ten
dollars from them for each license, and ap-
pealed to the United States District Courts
for decision in the matter, and judgement
in each case was given against them for fifty
eight dollars, which they are compelled to
nav. .i -'- '~'- --'.-'' '--

cotton, the corn largely predominating. tits
the most beautiful piece of country l have

shiUeraIiy to stay at home and enjoy them,
for they have got in such habit of running,
that nothing short of the consoling o. eio-
quence Of the Courier could stop 'em. On
our route we found some 500 bales OF cotton,
which had been appropriated by the 9. s. A.,

of the boys in the 10Th put this valuable

10000 prisoners. Then he followed them to
Vicksburg and has kept Smelling them day
and night ever since. Gen Pemberton, com.
handing at Vicksburg, las sent twice to
Grant, offering to surrender with the houors
