That Cairo Regiment.

The Evansville, Ind, Journal has ira
ced up the regiment that lately voted SO
solidly for Mcclellan at Cairo. We have
not yet learned its number. but it is iden-
titled sufficiently in the following story:
This, as the President would say, re-
minds us Of little joke perpetraled on
one of our river men by gentleman resi-
ding in Cairo. Our river friend is an en-
thusiastic admircr and supporter Of Lit
tie Mac" as he WAS of Breckenridge in
1860. Meeting his Cairo friend. vino was
also prominent Democrat in 1860, he in
quired the news.
"Oh! everything is wild for Mcclellan
down this way" replied his friend.
"Ah! well. it is astonishing to zee whas
hold Little Mac has spon the affections
of the people," exclaimed the delighted
boatman. Everywhere l hear of tho
most unbounded enthusiasm for the hero
of Antietam!"
"Yes," responded the Cairoiie; 80 train
of three or four cars full Of soldiers. every
one of whom are hot for McCisllas,'
went up the road yesterday"
els that so? Well, l never saw or
heard of the like in my life. 1t beats lS40
all hollow"
By this time quite crowd had collect
ed to hear the conversation. The boat
man was in e1tacies. and was fully pre-
pared to go his bottom dollar" on Little
Mac.
However, there is one thing had like
to have forgotten" Immediately interrupts
ed the Cairo gentleman. perhaps l ought
to have mentioned it in the first place.
"What is i?' eagerly inquired the
boatman. evidently anticipating q still
stronger evidence of the popularity Of his
candidate.
"7hoss soldiers Tere oil rebel prisos-
ers of wdr!"
We need not carry the Joke any further.
or attempt to describe tie ''phelinks" OF
the sold boatman.

Escape of Dodd.-Arrest of other
Notorious Conspirators.


Harrison H. Dodd. whose triul was in
progress before a Military Commission.
at Indianapolis. escaped during the night
OF the 9th. He was at first confined in
the guard house at the Soldiers Home, a
secure place. but as the close quarters af-
fecied his health he was remoyed to q
room in the third story of the Post office
building. he having first given his pa
role that he would not take advantage
Of Gen. Hovey's kindness to make his es.
cape. He let himself down by a rope con
veyed to him by his wife, it is supposed.
She probably gave him a ball of twine
with which he drew up a rope from the
outside. furnished by one Of his fellow con-
spirators. Bingham. editor of the State
Sentinel and Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee, who was arrest
ed on the same charge da, or two previ-
ous, was confined in the same room with
Dod1. but says he did not know Dodd in
tended to escape until he was awakened
by the falling Of the iron bar to which the
rope was fastened on the inside of the room
His escaping is tantamount to a confession
of guilt. Had he been innocent of the
charges no would have stood his trial. A
reward of one thousand dollars is offered
for his apprehension.
Col. Milligan. OF rather Major General
Milligan. Of Huntington. and Deputy
Grand Commander Horace HeiIren. of Sa,
lem. have also been arrested. These ar
rests are striking terror into the hearts Of
the conspirators all over he S,a'e. Those
in this county are beginning to think it
will be their turn next.
Gen. Hovey has issued an appeal to the
people of the State. urging them to coop
crate with him in supprcssius the armed
secret conspiracy that threatens. with the
aid OF rebels in guise of refugees, to bring
cruel war into Indiana and carry the elec-
tion against Union men by force of arms.
The developments on Dodd's trial prove
that the conspirators against the peace of
the State were well organized. and were
about ready to strike, when the authorities
pounccd on them, seized their arms and
arrested a few of the leaders. Their clam
or about the draft, arbitrary arrests, &c..
it is also proven was only used outside as
a pretext to fire the heart of the Dem ocra-
cy. Their object was to get up an insur-
rection in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and 9th.
er States. for the purpose of releasing the
rebel prisoners, and enabling the rebels to
gain their independence.
The arrest of Bingham excites conside-
rable comment, but is generally approved
by loyal citizens. He was a member of
the o. S. L., and doubtless. was Dodd's
princii al adviser and counselor

The Richmond Examiner says: "rhe
telegraph reports that Besuregard is to re-
place Hood il his command Hood takes
Hardee's troops and Hardee goes to
Charleston. This good news lacks confir-
nation. In the meantime Hood made a
speech to his troops promising them an
early battle. President Davis is also on .
visit to that army. If Dir. Davis would
take along Mr.. Benjamin. that gallant ar
tist of words. we might then be proud to
publish the Presidents speeches. and there
might be some resemblance between the
Presidents speeches and his messages"

Mother.
A poor soldier lay on his hospital bed
with the sands in his hour glass almost run.
AS the chaplain bent over him, he looked
up eagerly and said, pointing to his TEN
pile:
chaplain, want you to cut big lock
of hair off from here for my mother"
The chaplain hesitated moment, and
the youth added:
"You need not be afraid to disligure me.
It's for mother, and no one will come to
see me in the dead house tomorrow.
The request was at once complied with,
and the blood. stained lock, on which her
hand had so often rested with pride and
fondness which mothers only know, was
laid aside for those loving eyes to weep
over. What filter token could 60 back
from her hero martyr, even though it wrung
her heart with anguish. All. how little did
she think, as she smoothed those shining
locks in sunny childhood, that they would
thus come back to her.
Nov, Chaplain" said the dying man,
Il want you to kneel down and return
thanks to God" And when the good min
ister asked him for what he should return
thanks, what think you was the first great
blessing for which, in such solemn hour,
he felt his heart rise up in gratitude to the
great Giver Of all good.
Thank God for giving me such a good
mothe". Oh, Chaplain, her counsels and
teachings comfort me now. Oh, what
would do now il | wasn't Christian ?"
and he went on to enumerate other causes
Of thanksgiving, but this one he felt to be
foremost Of all Gods earthly gifts, good
mother to teach him the way to heaven
through the blood of Jesus.
Have you such mother, and have you
ever returned thanks to God for her? Or
have you neglected her teachings, and
thought her earnest counsels sometimes
irksome, and almost wished you might be
left unjisturbed in the enjoyment of youth
full pleasures, without the check which her
words would, in spite of yourself, lay upon
the reins of conscience? Oh, if you do
not feel the value of her instructions now,
the day is fast fastening when you will see
it, perhaps too late. If you have a good
mother, cherish her tenderly and do not
sow thorns in her pillow aud your own by
carelessness and neglect.
Then, mother, will your son have cause
to thank God, on his dying bed, for giving
him such mother?

Hired Help.
The eastern papers are occasionally elo-
quent over the assumption which they as.
cribe to hired help and particularly to "ser.
want girls" There are simpletons among
hired folks as well as among employers,
but ten or fifteen years observation teaches
us that those who do your work will sell
dom take airs if you treat them well. You
can act towards them so much as if Mey
belonged to you, that you will have no diff.
fculty in rubbing out all regard for your
interests or your pleasure. Then the
worst phrase Of character in both employer
and employee comes, and you see beauti-
ful exempliication of the domestic ''irre.

Treat people who labor for you with
kindness ; quit growing at them for every
exercise of freedom" they may indulge in;
regard your situations as mutual-you are
in want of their strength and capacity to
assist you, they are in want Of your means
to make them comfortable. A compromise
between you Of wants docs not carry with
it the right to domineer and play the petty
tyrant. Servant girls and hired hands
have souls and hearts, and in many instan-
ces in life We have known refinement of
taste and delicacy Of sentiment about

a stranger to. Be kind to those about you,

For the North iowa Times.
OUR AMY.
BY L. HATTIE 2. ALDRIcH.

BY L. HATTIE 8. ALpRIcH.
In the old gray church a summer morn
That gilded the spre and wall,
When the wild birds sang to the nodding thorn
And the south wind rustled the tasseed corn,
And she was welded to Paul.
She brought him no gold, and no proud array
OF coronets, rich and rare;
No castle, or cottage, I've heard them say
But brighter than gold the light that lay
In her wealth of sunny hair.
She brought him her heart, and her youthful hand
With her daily toll made brown;
But better than diamonds, or gold, or lands
Was the love that frightened their bridal bands !;
Little they thought of rcnown.
A moss covered Gotta 60 among the trees,
With windows that faced the sun,
Was all their own, where the wandering breeze
Sang to the mo untains and rivers, and leas,
And they asked no prouder one.
For ivy encircled its garden WALL.
And over the doors of brown,
Shedding perfume through the lowest halls
Rare roses swaug lightly their crimson balls,
And scattered their petals down.
when the clouds grew dark, and the war shouts
Arousng the land from sleep,
She heard in the echoes her own Paul's name;
She spoke her bless ings, and moaned no claim,
And loved him too we'll to weep.
Poor Amy Home memories when far away
Must glad him, and bless, and cheer!
And SO when he left her, with smiles half gay,
The words that should strengthen she tried to say
go God! With Thy strength be near!''
For the tempest came, and the battle cloud,
'Tell Amy We won the fght!"
He said, and ''God bless her., !" and moaned aloud.
They buried her Paul in goary shroud,
And darkly came down her night.
Der our land from the east to the west,
Scat tered from sea to sea,
The lowly have given their brave, and best;
The bravest and humblest have proved in the test
How royal the heart can be.
The drearest, and saddest. whose lone souls sigh
O'er many broken band
Bear bravely their burthens with silent cry,
And their days move on, and they scarce know why
And war still darkens the land.
