HINTS FOR RECRUITS.

A good soldier needs health, discipline,
courage, and a high moral tone. His food
should, be well prepared and eaten at reg
ular intervals. A sudden change Of diet
should be avoided if possible. Liquors
should not be used as a beverage. Tea
is better than coffee; pure water filtered
or boiled is the best to drink. Sponge
the body two or three times a week with
soap and water, q Battle the feet before
and after march, in salt water it will
prevent soreness and swelling. Avoid
as much as possible getting chilled and
wet. Never sit on the damp ground
Keey your clothes whole, clean and dry,
particularly your socks, and the flannel
army-belt. Put in your knapsaok few
good books, extra arTny-belt, extra shirt
and socks, towel, sponge, fine comb,
tooth and clothes brushes. camp knife,
sewing materials, stationery, stamps, and
a small box of medicines. 4 large num-
Der of men die from sickness caused by
ignorance or carelessness, than are killed
upon the field Of battle. Always keep
sick or well, and whether crowned with
present success or not. Be apt and
pains-taking at every drill, Keep by you
dIu STUDY carefully SONIC Df1eT MAnuaL
of tactics. Make it point to love your
profession, particularly the daily drill, to
enthusiasm. Discharge every duty with
your utmost ability for promptness and
skill. You are good for nothing without
courage. Men, or rather an apology for
men, who run or huddle together like
sheep, are almost sure to bekilled. Look
the enemy boldly in the face. Do not
die before you are killed, through fear
of death. The bullet may not be run
that is to hit you. If you live to return,
you will be honored; if you fall, it's no.
BILE to die for ones country. Avoid the |
vices of the camp as you would pesti- |
lence, especially drinking. profana swear. |
ing, misunderstanding, and card playing.
Never take what is not your own, even
from the enemy. Do not squandrr your
money, but send it hope regularly for
the benefit of yourself or friends. Have |
but little in your pocket, particularly on
the field of battle. Obey your officers, |
be kind to your fellow-soldiers, and hui
name to all. Be hero, courteous
Christian soldier. s'Put your trust In |
God, and keep your powder dry" =. |

There is a splendid opening in the
Iowa Legislature at the present time for
some ambitious individual to gain i'm
mortality by keeping his mouth shut "
Gentlemen generally distinguish them
selves in legislative bodies by making ell
oquent speeches; but this body affords
an exception to the rule; and the high
road to fame lies, here, through an elo-
quent silence. Talk seems to be the be-
setting sin of our Abolition Legislature
Yet, notwithstanding the fact that every
body has. something to say upon every
subject that comes up, there is still a
great amount Of work accomplished, and
business is despatched very rapidly
Those who have been acquainted with
the workings of Iowa Legislatures for
many years past, assure me that they
have never known as great an amount
of business transacted in the same length
of time as has been disposed of by the
present Assembly during the ten days of
its session.
Tomorrow is the day appointed for
the meeting Of the Sanitary Board Of
Control, but from present. indications l
Judge there will not be qnorum of the
members Of the Board in the city at the
time for the meeting II, however, a
majority o. the Board shall arrive be-
tween now and tomorrow morning, and
the session be held, your readers shall be
duly posted.
In the House this morning n number
of Petitions, Memorials, AID Bills were
introduced, among which may mention
a joint resolution instructing our repre-
sentatives in Congress to favor the con-
struction of ship canal from the Mis-
sissippi to the Lakes. T..
A Bill by Mr.. McNutt, of Muscatine,
repeating the law prohibiting the inmi-
grafton of free negroes to this State.
A Bill by Mr.. Bell, of Pottawattamie,
regulating the toll of grist mills.
A Bill by Mr.. Oliver, of Monona, legal
ling the action of County Supervisors in
additional tax for the purpose of
paying bounty to volunteers.
Amended by Mr., King, of Harrison, to
legalize the action of the Board of Super
yisors of Harrison and other counties, in

before; = and from the shape and form Of
the shadows now frightening over { Cap
itol HiIl, = ii is evident that ; change ia
the form Of our county government, RI
one of the approaching events Of the:
times. The present SYSTEM Of supervi
sors, 50 efficient and 30 popular IN ali
western counties, is probably dasfinedto
pass into history, and be superseded b
another, whether good Or bad, remains
to be seen. Many are in favor Of three
Commissioners, to be elected by the
county at large, and one Of whom shall
be the county Judge. The friends of the
present system are found generally among
the members from the West, while the
eastern members are generallyin favor
of a change. .*,=.@> =. e.
How do the people of Pottawattanie
stand upon this important question:
Does hot past experience cause them to
shudder at the mention of % County
Judge" in connection with the finances
Of our county; or viii the fact that we
have at present an honest man for Judge,
blind them to the ruinous history of the
past, and reconcile them to return to
Egypt? This is . subject of great impor-
lance to the people of the West who
have been particularly aeeced by.a
succession of unjust Judges, and the cit
liens of each county should see to it that
their representatives are Immediately no
tilted of the will of their constituents
upon this very important question:
Already bill has been introduced in the
Senate, touching this matter, and while
its title is "an act to modify" the super
visor system, its provisions are such as
will effect radical change in our present
form of Government. That this bill viii
pass the Senate, l do not doubt, but by
proper effort on the part of the friends
of the Supervisor system, it may be killed
in the House.
The only important item Of Legislative
news day, is the introduction of bill
in the House exempting soldiers prop
erty from taxation,--in accordance with
contained in Governor
message. The bill provides
that all the personal and real property
of all citizens of Iowa who are now or
may hereafter be on-commissioned Off
GERS or priyates in the military service of
the United States, and the property, real
and personal, of the widows and minor
children of such: as have fallen or may
hereafter fall, in such service, shall be
exempt from taxation under the laws of
the State. "
A grist of buncombe" resolutions
were introducedand passed this morning.
Several petitions were introduced ask
ing the enactment Of Registration
Law. Such law will be passed.

HON. JOHN A. KAssoN.

The Washington correspondent of the
Milwaukee Sentinel says of speech de.
livered recently by Mr.. Kasson before the
Union League at Washington:
Mr. Kasson made q very eloquent
speech. He is a frst-rate extemporane-
Gus speaker, and warns up an audience
in a very short time. He. talks very
easily, rapidly, and seemingly without an
effort on his part. He was more radical
than l expected to find him, and his re-
marks relative to the mode of dealing
with the poor whites of the South wera
eminentfy sound and practical, and wers
replete with wisdom and humanity. Ii
was IN favor of the Government sellif@
the large confscated plantations, in srlaM
tracts, and on long time, at low rateof
interest, to the poor whites, that: they
might be enabled to secure homes for
themselves and their children. He be.
lieved the great mass of them loyal, but
thought them deluded and deoeivsd.--
He had considerable knowledge of this
class of people, for he had been among
them and knew their feelings and syrnpa-=
thies. Mr.. Kasson will stand out IS .
prominent man in the House. and viii

c. Here's what the Onawa Gazette
says of us:
t'The Tr-W Weekly Nonpqrca, copy of

just the paper that should be taken by
all who want the news every other day

State Legislatures. The tri-weekly, con

And here's its opinion of other folks:
''SAUTTY LiTERArrRE.-The great fam.
lily paper down at Council Bluffs. some
times called Bagle, has long since become
mated in these parts for the audaucitv
of its blackguardism, if for nothing worse
than that--and it occurs to us that no
one at this late day should object to Civ
ing it full credit, as being decidedly the
dirtiest sheet in Iowa. Certainly we shall
not, since it has labored hard for the rep
utafion, and fairly earned it.
And when the family paper at Sioux
City attempts to follow in the footsteps of
its illustrious eotempory, as it apparently
did last week, we feel like warning it Of
the utter hopelessness of the task. The
Bagle clearly has the field, and any at
tempt by the Regisscr or amy other man
to rival that institution in its favorite
element of low and disgusting black
guardism is simply preposterous-it' can't
be did, Mr.. Register, we tell you it's
no use-you may as we'll come down at

pressed desire to be personally repre-
seuted in the Army. In addition to the
contributions they have made in the way of
bounties, they propose to procure at their
own expense, and present for enlistment,
recruits to represent them in the SERVICE
Such practical patriotism is worthy of spe.
cial commendation and Encouragement
Provost Marshals, and all other officers
acting under this Bureau, are ordered to
furnish all the facilities in their power to
enlist and muster promptly the acceptable
representative recruits presented, in accord
auce with the design herein set forth.
The name of the person.whom the recruit
represents will be noted on the Enlistment
and Descriptive Roll of the recruit, and
will be carried forward from those papers
to the other official records which form his
