LETTER FROM VICKSBURG.
HEADQUARTERS 18th ARMY CoRps,
Vicksburg, Feb. 4th, 1864.


DEAR HILDRErH The leading ques-
ton in all circles, both military and
civil seems to be, What will be done
in the spring?" Will Richmond be
taken by Ben Butler? Will the Army
of the Potomac for the ninth time
mako a forward movement, and do
something? We hope SO, that no ofli-
Ger will be either absent OF drunk, and
thus spoil the plan of the commander
whomsoever he may be. Shonld not
one man be given the Army of the Po-
tomac and suffered fair trial as to
whether he can take Richmond if al.
lowed his own way ? Hooker declares
that at the unlucky battle of Chancel-
lorsville, he had the hardest combat
with the Department at Washington.
Mcclellan, lays the blame of his i'll
success at the same door, while Pope,
the best one that has yet had the army
in charge, got his coffee settled in
about two months, and now away up
among the Western prairies he ''Shonl-
ders his crutch, and shows how fields

are won'
Will Charleston. the Matching place
of this rebellion, be suffered to stand
unharmed Will there be another
greater humbug than Greek fire ?
Will Grant sweep forward with his
brave boys and deal Secession one

M.. From the Iowa City Republics
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The committee, consisting of Sena-
tor Young, of Linn Co., and Represen-
tatives Hildreth, of Floyd, and Sears,
Of Poweshiek, appointed by the Leg
islature to visit the State University
and Deaf and Dumb Asylum at this
place, performed the duties of their
appointment last week, and have re-
turned to Des Moines to report upon
their visit.
Their report will open the eyes of
somc of our legislators in reference to
our University. The committee ex-
pressed much surprise at the magni.
tude and perfection of this institution,
having no expectation of finding it SO
far advanced in its course towards a
position vieing with our older col.
leges, and we believe they will make
a very favorable report in its behalf.
We attended the exercises on Thurs.
day morning, and were much pleased
with the remarks of the different men,
bers of tho committee, showing their
appreciation of the Importance Of the
University, and of the high character
it has attained. They showed them
selves men capable of appreciating
the noble work of the institution, and
we believe they are for making the
Iowa University worthy of the State
of Iowa. The question comes right
home to our Legislators and people,
Shall we have such an institution
or, shall it be considered the compet-
itor of every other college or select
school of the State, and encounter the
hostility of the friends of each, and be
kept OH level with them? If the
latter, it should never have been es-
tablished. The State should either
have no State University, or it shou Id
have real live one, ranking no way
inferior to those of other States. But
some say. 1t is only Johnson county
high school. Let tfacts answer. Near
$50 students, representing forty-three
counties, are now in attendance. The
people do not treat it as local affair,
but are sending to it from every part
of the State. We trust, as the State
has commenced this work, it will car
ry it on, until we can point to the Uni
versity of Iowa as one Of the powers
of the land. To do this it must have
facilities to meet its increas-
ed demands. 1t must have more room,
and ultimately much larger endow-
ment. 1t is worthy of both.

STATUE OF AMERICA.

A writer in the Detroit Tribune. in
referring to the studio of Powers, the
great American artist, in Florence,
says: .'
Here stands one of the most beaF-
tiful things, which was designed for
the Capitol at Washington, but was
not acceptable to the powers that were,
and stands still in waiting for an order
from the American Government, which
the artist hopes to receive by and by.
1t is beautiful female figure, which
ho calls America 1t is of the finest
six feet one inch high, and
wears a crown on which are thirteen
stars. America stands with her
right hand resting on bundle of rods
firmly bound together, with her man.
tie fallen partly over it. Her left foot
rests on a broken chain, and her left
hand points to heaven, attributin~ to
God the freedom and strength which
have been attained the whole is most
beautiful. Franklin Pierce was Pres
ident when this was executed as a
model from which large figure in
bronze was to be cast for the dome of
the Capitol, at Washington, he was
much afraid that the South might
not like the looks of broken chains.
and so it was rejected. Mr.. Powers
that he was innocent at the
time of intending any allusion to sla-
very, but now he is quite willing to
accept the fact; and when onr coun-
try shall come forth from the present
war, with slavery destroyed, and the
Union more firmly cemented than ev-
er, they might not object to "Ameri-
cas- " standing with one foot on tho
broken fettcrs.

EXPANDING THE LUNGS,

Step out into the purest air you can
find stand perfectly erect, with the
head and shoulders back, and then fix
ing the lips as though you were go-
ing to whistle, draw the air through
the nostrils into the lungs. When the
chest is about full, raise the arms,
keeping them extended, with palms of
the hands down, as you suck in the
air, so as to bring them over the head,
just as the lungs are quite full. Then
drop the thumbs inward, and after
gently forcing the arms backward and
the chest open, reverse the process by
which you draw your breath. till the
lungs are entirely empty. This pro.
cess should be repeated three or four
times during the day. 1t is impossi.
bic to describe to one who has never
tried it. the glorious sense of vigor
which follows the exercise. 1t is tho
best expectorant in the world.

NOBLE, PROMPT AND PATRIOTIC.

One day, recently, letter was re-
ceived from Capt. Strawn, of the 10th
Illinois regiment. at Chattanooga, by
a citizen Of Ottawa, stating that
about one-half Of the regiment were
without socks. This letter was read
in the different churches in Ottawa, on
Sunday, and call made upon the la
dies to supply the means to keep the
toes of the boys warm. The response
was prompt On Monday evening
2T5 pairs of socks were mailed to the
regiment, and the postage paid. In
the toes of each pair were enclosed a
neat little billet doux to the boys, all
written by their hands, and prompted
by warm hearts, with fitting and ap-
propriate sayings. One of them was
3" Always keep the toes Of these socks
toward the enemy"

At meeting of the staff and line off
GERS of the S0th Regiment Indiana Vol
unteers, which convened at the regi-
mental camp at Knoxville, Tenn, on
the lst day Of February, 1864, Capt.
j. c. Gladish was called to the Chair,
and Capt Wm. Mosier was chosen Sec
retary.
On motion, Lieutenants J. P. Glez:n,
j. S. Epperson, and j. L. Walker were
appointed to draft resolutions expressive
Of the sense Of the meeting. After a
short recess, the following preamble and
resolutions WI re reported and adopted
with but one dissenting voice:
WHEREAS, A vacancy has occurred in
the office of Colonel of this regiment
caused by the resignation of Col. James
l.. Culbertson;
AND, WHEREAS, We have Just learned
with extreme modification and deep re
gret, that the said late Col. Culbertson
before having left the field, requested
Col = r. Moot, the Colonel command
ing this brigade, to recommend a certain
officer for promotion over the head OF
our worthy and much-esteemed Lieut..
Colonel, Alfred ID. Owen, without the
knowledge of a single officer of the regi-
ment;
AND, WHEREAS, The said Col Culbert-
son very we'll knew the said Lieut. Col.
Owen to be the unanimous choice OF
both officers and men for the Colonelcy
AND, WHEREAS, The said late Col. Cul-
bartson has always represented to the
officers Of the regiment that the said Off
Ger he requeS'e ed to be recommended was
obnoxious to him, and professed to be
violently opposed to his further promo
ton;
Therefore, Resolred, That in thia
transaction the said late Col Culbertson
has been guilty of an objectionable at
tempt to override the will and wishes oil
the officers and men of this regiment,
and has eyinced a degree of duplicity
impudence, and deceit which we did not
believe could be carried or endured by a
man of his physical structure or intel
lectual calihTe, and has given evi lence
Of a wanton disregard for the future
welfare of his former regiment.
ResOlred, That since having learned
of the transaction above mentioned, to
gether with his total incompetency tC
command while he was Colonel of the
regiment, we can but feel thankful to 8
kind Providence for having put it inti
the head of the said Colonel to resign
and leave the post to be filed by more
competent commander.
Resolced, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Indianapoli
Journal, Evansville Journal, Vincennei
Gazette, Martin County Herald, and al
other papers of the First Congressiona
District.
