presented by Gov. Stone, after the modifi-
cations mentioned In the extract from the
Governors letter published in The DssocRAr
yesterday eft.,
-, duly elected - Of
Company - regiment, Iowa 6ta.e Mill.
TIA do solemnly swear that viii support the
Constitution Of the United States. and Of this
State, and bear true AID faithful allegiance to
the same; and sill promptly obey al ordess
coming 70 me from the GUvernor Of this State,
and in every respect faithfully discharge tue
duties Of my sad office according 70 law, ana
obey the ordess and commands of my superior
oficers TO the best Of my ability and do
further swear tGat l do not belong 70 any or
ganixAtion. either secret or otherwise, which
has Tor its objeet opposition TO the present war
agains. the otAses in rebellion, or opposition
20 the United States 6overnmsst in il efTors
70 prosecute said var; and hare no sympathy
whstever With those in ssbellios, and thas my
desire 10 to see such var pro .ecuted with vigor
until the rebellion - esusned and IN honorable
pssce is restored; and to this end will faith
rally exert my influence and endeavor TO sus.
tain those in authority. To III this without
reservation fully and chserlulIy agree.
We don't see how that rnends the matter
much. The person taking it binds him
self to support all the war policies Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, while there are thousands Of
men just as true to their country as Gov.
oton- can be, who religously believe that
there is another an better way Of restoring
the Union than by continuing in shedding
blood Those who hold that opinion will
not, under any circumstances take that
oath, though they would not hesitate for .
momer to take the same oath that officers
and soldiers take upon being mustered into
the service Of the United States. The *
G. c." and 80. A. r." dodge that the
Governor attempts to come over the people
is mere humbug-a ruisc out Of which
he hopes to make political capital.
MuscATISE SANITARY FAIR.-The Musca-
tine papers speak well OF the Sanitary Fair
now in progress in that city. The contribu-
tions are on an extensive scale--much more
SO than was reas onably expected Through
the agency Of this Fair several thousand
dollars will accrue to the Sanitary fund
which will do much towards providing our
suffering soldiers in the hospitals with the
ncccssarics Of the sick room.
The county fair which is also in session
at Muscatine, we hear spoken Of as rather
slim, owing, no doubt, to the superior at
fractions at the Sanitary Eair. The leading
feature with the County Ear is the display
of fruit, f r which the County Of Muscatine
is noted. The display Of stock is meagre,
but good what there is OF it. The track
attractions are limited, though not alto
gether unworthy of notice. Altogether,
the Muscatiners are having very lively
and very pleasant time Of it this week.
Police CorRr.-The n ulcroqe case came
to termination tnis mornngl From the
evidence introduced it was impossible to
prove that there was any assault with intent
to kill; but that Tage,. the prosecuting wit
ness hatcher solicited an assau than other
wise. The Council advised settlement
which WIS made on the basis that Mulcrones
pay the doctors bill, and for time lost.
and the expenses, and the suit was dismiss
cd.
