f HELENA. Ark July l3, 1864.
EDITOR COURIER Dear Sir: have been
threatening to pen communication for your
paper ever since our arrival at this place ;.
but fully realizing that Won are constantly
called upon to publish dull and unin'erest.
ing articles, to the ex,nsion Of matter of
importance, have thus far hel aloof. and
hope you will look upon this as strictly
confidential letter. n few items Of gen.
eral interest can be cleaned from 1t that refer
to the bows, it will be optional with you
whether they are noticed or not. As yet,
we are a bloodless regiment, and have met
with no adventures that are not peculiar to
new troops. Yet we claim to be having a
harder time than any regiment Of To-day
men from Iowa or Illinois. We are further
south, in the worst place, and under as strict
discipline as any Of the raw ONES. This is
probably the worst hole in the universe fer
impure water. death dealing miasmas, and
ever-croaking frogs, excepting Cairo, MS.
at least my experience, even though it he
limited, urges me to make this assertion
The regiment has about one-half as many
effective men now as when we left Iows;
the sick list showing 3l5 unfit for duty, and
the number constantly upon the increase
Thirteen have died and have been buried
with military honors; probably realizing
that it is proud thing to die in the service
Of ones country. five stay in this dam
nable hole of corruption, am fearful that
many, many more will be seized with this
horrible facination to perish upon the altar
Of a beloved country. AS a company we
are extremely healthy. not reporting over
ten unwell a. any one time. Those in hos
pital, two with sore arms from vaccination.
and four that we report unfit for duty. VIII en-
the truth is they do more marching than
any men in camp. They always move up
on the double-quick IN leaving their tents,
and as persistently come in upon slow time
In fact they are forlorn looking set, and
have acquired very ''loose" habits. When
they start upon the run you can hear the
boys yell, ''there goes man with the Ar
kansas quick.step." How to account for
our health as company, do not know,
unless 1t is that we conhne our men 10 army
rations. and prohibits the use Of all green
vegetables and fruits The boys complain
when we confscate nice lot of green ap-
pies. but it is no use, we make them let the
trash alone I would rather hear a well
man grumble than sick one groan.
Every one Of the Ottumwa boys are well,
and in good spirits = *

We publish the Presidents call for

We publish the Presidents call for
100000 men, to be raised within so
days or they will be raised by draft.
1t can hardly be necessary in Iowa
who has so promptly and fully honor
ed all drafts upon her patriotism and
loyalty, to urge the Importance and
necessity OF this call, upon our people.
No arguments will be required here,
at least by the mass of the citizens of
Iowa, to prove that, owing to the nm
avoidatle casualties of the service, the
expiration ofterms Of enlistment and
the incalcnlabls Importance of the
movements now in progress, more
men must be had, tor future needs
Grant and Sherman may have force
enough to-day; but few months
hense, they will not have 40 many.
Some will have persisted in battle,
some win be in hopitals, while many
others, having ,honor.bly served out
their time, will be discharged. These
contingencies must be provided for in
season. Iowa will furnish her share.
Indeed. we don't think when the de-
ficits ofsome ofthe Eastern States are
made up, the draft upon us will be
very large. r.z a ,a4,s .z.seas.s..

The QUALIFICATIONS OF SUBSTITUTES.
The uncertainty which the Provost Mar.
shal Generals office has thro wn over the
subject ofthe eligibility ofsubstitutes for SER
vice in the army is being gradually removed.
A few days since we noticed an order de-
claring that for persons not Table to draft,
who desire to present representative substl.
tutes, any one, whether liable to the draft
Or not, would be accepted. A recent order
defines the qualifications of substitutes for
drafted men, or those who are furnished in
advance Of the draft. The latter must not
DO liable to military duty. and must make
oath that they are exempt from the draft by
reason Of alie,age, or having served two
years in the United States army or navy
since April Is, 1851. In such cases certifi.
Gates Of exemption will be granted to the
principal for three years by the Provost
Marshal Of the district in which he resides,
on receipt Of the oath, and enlistment papers
Of his substitute.
