We are having the finest Of RessheF
here nor, although some mornings are
cecil enough TO remind US of home. The
health of the erEny hire j. excellent, IN
fact we have no sick men. Everything
here moves On IN the old manner, or. at
least, did until short. time since, when.
an excitement was created by an effort
to enlist the old troops into the veteran
service. The result Is better than the
most sarguine anticipated, for nearly all
the old regiments are re-anlisting, Our
Iowa Brigade, the1lth. 18th, 18th and
10th. has done some "tall wo :" in the
recruiting line, and to-day stands before
the country Veteran Brigade" OF
| Hawkeye boys. We were promised by
Mai. Gen. Mcpherson the chance OF. gor
ing home for the purpose of recruiting
and recognizing, provided three-fourths
of the men in company or regiment
who have less than one year to serve
entered the veteran service for three
| wears more and the brigade has more
| than. complied with the requirement. /
| claim the banner company from Iowa,
every man in it having re-enlisted TOR
three years. Pottawattamie and Harrl-
son may feel proud that they have the
honor of sending company, which after
serving more than two years in the army
of the Union, enduring the hardships
| and Drawing the dangers Of the soldier
life. re-snlisted for. three years more,
with the determination of keeping the
Gcld until every man, woman and child
in the country acknowledges the suprem-
acy of the "OId Flag" Co. H " will
90 homo for short time that the boys
may once more see their fathers, moth
ers, sisters, brothers, street. heaTts and
friends; and after filling their Trimmed
ranks and supplying the places of their
brothers gone before" by new recruits,
will again enter the field and try to do
their duty by following our old banner
wherever and whenever called upon
But then there are not so many of US as
there were when we first entered the
field, The bullets Of the enemy, and
disease, have thinned our ranks, and
caused the company to /" close up" until
it is short, but these who are left are
Soldiers. We want our ranks filed =
Will our friends help us? Or must those
who have served two years and six
months still continue to fight the battles
of our country unaided and alone! We
can do it, and that too without q muir
muir. But we do think that those who
have been enjoying ..themselve at home
while their brothers have kept the enc
my from their fresides, could now enter
the field and help us put the finishing
stroke on the rebellion. If the men of
Iowa don't fill up eur old regiments We
will wait for "Old Abe to try his skill
on the lottery as a basis. AS soon as the
necessary papers and arrangements are
completed the 18th will start for Keo
kuk, when every man will get . Through
for 30 days that lie may visit his friends,
and then we will be allowed several
weeks to recruit in. You may look for
Co. H some time this winter. l hope
we may get up there soon enough to
help enforce the draft

Yesterday. All was quiet until evening, when
furious fight commenced on our right. The
result have not learned. The enemy has
undoubtedly been leaving Cur left front fer
some days; perhaps this morning they are all
gone. Our scouts last evening reported the

where will they go2 They cannot go back.

prisoners represented every army corps but
one, proving that SAermsn's army or a large
portion Of ii, is massed 'ln ;hc railroad, and
fearing to move on so strong positions ascan
be had along the base Of The Kennesaw Moun:
tain. They will undoubtedly move by the
Roswell Factory road, Hanking this ridge in
order TO find c gttd read to travel to Atlanta.
The prisoners say that the cars ere run
ming to Acworlh, and tast the bridge over
the Etowah is flushed.
Deserters that we have apprebendcd say
that great many are deserving and going
home, especially those from East Tennessee. .
Sherman played very fne" in coming
round Altoona Hills. He never expected to
get on this side without fight. Crossing at
DouthilS or Conser's bridge he tsnaked :"
his way round and to the Souti, side of the
hiils, and you can now follow his trail to the
railroad egain, just where Ife wished to get.
He quietly waits until his pioneer corps has
finished the bridge over the Etowah, and
when he gels sufficient supplies he will no
doubt move again.
Our General has offered the gage Of batt!o
several times during the past week, but Sher.
man persistently refuses. We have no doubt
that the general outline OF his campaign is to
avoid battle and maintain his position on Tho
stronghold he now occupies until be can re.
cruit his jadeil and worn command.
