Nit has been constantly char ged by
the enemies OF the Government in the
North that 1T Is waglng war for the pur-
pose of subjugating the Southern people,
whereas the truth has been that wherever
the Union armies have obtained tbe most
signal successes--in Louisiana, iu Ken
tucky, in Tennessee, in Western vir-
ginia and now in North Carolina-t
Southern people have hailed the fl4g as q
glad assurance that the day OF their sub.
jugstive war is at an end. Which shall

Northern traitors, or the unanimo as ut

There has been general turning of

be as comfortably fixed for some time to
come, as they have been during their stay
in Corinth. The men had labored hard
TO get up good quarters and it seemed
little tough to leave them. The 7th
Iowa was IN the same category, they had
just finished their quarters.
There is nothing of unusual interest oc-
curing in or around Corinth, to my
knowledge. Through the day time, some
dried up specimen of Dixie, vending
green corn and other vegetables out of
an old OK wagon, is about the only thing
to arrest attention.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Aug. 90.
AT a meeting of the non commissioned
officers and prlvates Of Co. A, 9th Iowa
cavalry, Wishing to express their regards
for their officers, adopted the following
resolutions
Resolved, That our officers. Capt. Z.
Pickett aud Lieutenants Nc Clellan and

and energetic conduct merited our best
respects and warmest wishes; and we
hereby pledge ourselves, on the word and
honor of faithful soldiers, to stand firmly
by them in this noble cause SO long as
we have siren 9Th to fight and they breath
to command
Resolved. That in Capt. Pickett we
have an officer who looks well to the in
terest and comfort of his men, and, there
fore, deserves, as he receives, the highest
esteem and confidence of his men.
Resolved, That v. S. Carson, Esq, be
requested to forward the above to the ed
itors of the Daily Gate City and Keosau-
qua Republican for publication in their
respective papers.
We would also say that if there are
others wishing to enter the service of
their country there are few more men
wanted to fill out the company, and they
can now have the opportunity Of joining,
as the Adjutant General says, "the best
company in the regiment" We can AS
sure them that they will find in Captain
Pickett an experienced officer who has
seen service and knows the wants Of SOL
diers, and who is ever ready and willing
to do everything in his power for the
good and comfort of his men.
Those wishing to enlist in Capt. Pick
ctt's company can have an opportunity OF
doing SO by calling on Capt, Joel. Brown,
Of Birmingham, or v. S. Carson, of Van

years on leading Eastern papers, and bring a rlcn

Our expenses for telegraphic dispatches are
larger than those of any other paper in Detroit and
more than seven times the amount paid by any one
paper Aear ago. In fact we now publish simulta.

Press dispatches that are sent to the Philadelphia
Inquirer, Pittsburg Gazette, Cincinnati Gazette, St

leading papers in the cities in which they pub

New York Journals. Almost daily IL occurs that
we obtain news by special dispatch twelve hours in
advance of the Associated Press, of the correct
ness of which statement we refer to the numerous
readers of our Daily. In this city, where both the
daily papers habitually read by all parties, it
is generally conceded that the dispatches OF the

Politically the Advertiser and Tribune looks to
the salvation of the country by the energetic prose
cution of the now waged against the accursed
rebellion of the South. On humanitarian grounds,
as war measure, and as safeguard for the future
quiet of the nation, it upholds the Presidents
Emancipation Proclamation. and all other war
measures of the Government; while it admits the
propriety of friendly criticism, it holds that no d
rect and active opposition to the Government is
consistent with loyalty, should be tolerated in
the North any more than in the States engaged in
! the rebellion.
| As commercial paper we aim to make the Ad-
verser and Tribune the best in the State and have
employed to conduct this department man of
large experience and reputation. This will make
the paper particularly acceptable to farmers. as
well as merchants and mcrs.
Our facilities for printing large edition have
lately been greatly increased by the erection of the
fastest press in use in this city, and our circulation
is keeping pace with our capacity of print.

There 10 form Of girlish mold,
Under the spread of the branches old.

With the sunset lighting her tresses of gold
And the breezes waving them, fold upon fold,
Waiting for me.
There is the sweet voice, with credence deep,
OF one that singeth our babe asleep,
And often turns to see
How the stars through the lattice begin TO peep
And watch the lazy dialcreep,
Waiting for me.

Long since that voice has passed away,
On earth no more to be,
But still in the spirit world afar
She is the dearest of those that are
