CORRESPONDENCE Of the Gazette
PROM THE 3lST IOWA.

| WooDvILLE, ALA Feb l2th, 1864.
MBssRs. EDITORS the last four
weeks we have had clear, warm days and
cold nights. We are enjoying excellent health
and plenty to eat. We are in winter quart.
ers, but have not been idle. We go out fire.
quently fifteen or twenty miles from camp to
guard forage trains have the railroad TO pa
troll, and have company ard battalion drills
daily. Those who think We have no means
for amusement are mistaken. While out
foraging the boys found "a neck Of woods
where chickens are yet numerous When
they returned to camp large number Of fine
game cocks accompanied them, and for sew
eral days we have devoted our spare hours
to cock fighting. Since the organization Of
our regiment we have had no religious in
struction. But to day We sent an applica-
ton to Iowa for Chaplain, and if the rebels
don't steal the mail bag, we viii soon be
church going people. At the present time
rumors are numerous, but reliable news is
scarce. John Morgan is at the head Of a
large force OF cavalry, and is threatening us
with raid. In all probability he will at
tempt TO cross the Tennessee river in few
days, and If he should succeed we will have
lively times again. Sixteen Of the recruits
for Co. B have arrived, and are in comforta-
bic quarters. They have already mastered
Hard Tack" and are now giving Hardee's
tactics their attention. They are learning
rapidly, and we are sorry that the draft will
not take place before March, as i would be
better and more convenient to drill all at the
same time. Many soldiers are returning from
hospitals to their regiments for duty. At the
present time we have scarcely any news
items that would interest your readers

TIE Border State Emancipation Conven
ton met in Louisville, on the 22nd, and was
largely attended from Missouri, Arkansas
Tennessee, and Kentucky.
The following resolutions which were in.
troduced, will shoy the spirit that prevailed
in the Convention:
Frst-That the unity Of the country with
the present Republican forms of Government
both State and National, must be preserved
and the rebellion must be suppressed.
.Stcond-That as slavery was the cause,
and now constitutes the strength Of the re.
bellion, that we can see no hope of parna-
nent peace until the principles of freedom
announced in our Constitution are carried out
in practice.
7hird-The question whether slavery is
to be perpetuated or not is no longer State
but National one, and it is therefore proper
that the Constitution Of the United States
should be so amended as to secure freedom
to every human being. Such guarantee of
individual freedom is as necessary in the
Constitution of the United States as the re-
publican form Of government to each State,
and, in forming such amended provision, the
claims Of loyal owners in loyal communities
should be considered.
Fourth-The Government has the Consti.
tutional right to command the services Of CIV.
cry man. no matter what his color or condi-
ton, whether bond or free. The mast can
not interpose his right between the man and
the Government.
The Convention declared in favor Of Sec.
rotary Chase for next President, and in a
somewhat lengthy circular attempts to ex-
plain why President Lincoln should not be
re-nominated. The main reasons given are
that he is given to compromises is not rad,
ical enough, and that the present immense
patronage Of the Government cannot remain
| in the hands Of one man more than one term
without endn"gcring the safety Of our Re-
publican institutions. On the other hand
the Convention recognizes in Secretary Chase
more Of the qualities needed in a President
during the next four years, than are com
! bned ia any other available candidate.
