tractlyc. Secure your tickets.
CAVALRY HoRsEs.-Messrs Kelly and
Chambers have already furnished eight hun
drcd horses on their contract, and will have
the remaining two hundred in short time.
They received about forty this morning,
from Genesco. These gentlemen inform us
that good horses are becoming very scarce,
and that much higher prices are demanded
Tor them than few weeks ago.
The DAVENPORT DaAGooSs.-T The first
cavalry company in this county formed in
pursuance Of the present law of the State,
was organized in this city on last evening,
under the above name. John NJ. Day was
elected Captain, Lyman Carpenter lst
Lieut., Thos. Scott I'd Lieut., and Geo. w.
Smiley Orderly. This company is com.
posed Of many Of our best citizens and lead
ing business men, and is bourd to render
important service.
FUNERAL OF WN. \. DAvENroRr.-Th
funeral of Wm. A. Davenport took place
this morning ct 8 o'clock at St. Anthony's
Church. The services, which were Of a
very solemn nature, were celebrated by the
Reverend Father Pclamorgues, after which
long line Of carriages filed with mourners
followed the remains to their last resting
place. There was no procession, on &C.
count of the early hour fixed for the fun
eral. 1t would have been more appropriate
could he have been buried with military
honorS.
REcRulrSG.-So far scarcely anything
has been done under tho last can, and the
prospect for draft in Iowa is becoming
more apparent every day. About forty re-
cruiting commissions have been issued by
the Adjutant General, but we do not think
that As many recruits have been reported to
the Department yet. The time between
now and the 9Th Of September is short, and
unless something is done right away to-
ward filling our quota, Iowa will have to
be drafted. We should very much dislike
to have her proud name thus sullied, and it
need not be if our citizens will only get up
little enthusiasm, and encourage the men
to come forward and enroll themselves
The work to be accomplished is trif]ing,
compared with what has been done in as
short time under former calls. 1t is true
that Iowa can lily afford further drainage Of
her lsboring population, but we suppose the
demand Of ths Government must b full
6lled.
