To TIE LADIES OF MuscATNE COUNTY,
Az the beginning Of the end Of the rebellion
looms up to our ANXIOUS eyes. there il great
danger of forgetting the wants Of our sick
and wounded soldiers. Soon the enervating
effects Of hot sun, suddenly succeeding an
unusually severe winter, will throw multi.
tudes into the hospitals. Already the armies
of Grant are in motion; and at this very mo-
ment many son, brother, husband or father
may lie bleeding and only to be saved by the
judicious use Of those little comforts and del
icacies that the government does not furnish
her army. Would It not be well for every
neighborhood or school district to form soci-
etiesf If agreeable, they could be auxiliary
70 the Soldiers' Aid Society of; Nuscatine.--
In boxing up the various articles sent IN,
credit would be given to the society sending
it, and any mark put on garments, lars, &C.,
by the donor, would show the recipient
whence it came. sec ss
as The Muscatins Society has frequently
been asked for copy Of their Constitution,
they have had number printed. and aay
person wishing TO form society can have .
copy by addressing the Secretary, Mrs. N. A.
Underwood. A county that has furnished 70
many companies in 30 many noble Iowa regi-
ments, should follow them up and play well
the part of the Good Samaritan. i7sefss.ssl

PRRHIuHs FOR RECRUITS Under = late
proclamation, any person-old or young,
male or female-is empowered to enlist 70.
cruits, for which they will obtain the govern
ment bounty-6fteen dollars for raw recruit
and twenty-five dollars for veteran recruit.
Heretofore this business and the money to be
made At it, has been monopolized by recruit
ing officers and Provost Marshals. The
change is a good one, well calculated to slim.
ulate enlistments. A young lady, with win
ming manners, might make quite specula-
ton in the business.

"disinterested acts" Of these soft-l,earted but
ternuts. She had 100 lbs. of -four in the
house, three hogs slaughtered day or two
before, and so forth. That she had groceries
is inferred from the statement that the ven.
cradle head of this ''noble butternut house"
about that time borrowed tea of her. That
she usually has enough is inferred from the
fact that this kline. hearted man has not
thought it necessary to repay it again. She
had wood at the door, but none cut, as her
brother, who attended to that, was detained
away that day. The democrat cut some wood
and built q fire. Some of her children were
with her, the rest at their grandfather's, who

how the conscripted son borrowed the Wild

WHY DoN'T THHY Do IrI-I am glad to
zee that you are recommending to the 'pow-
srs that be" the propriety Of Offering some
inducements that will enable poor men to 60
into the army and so save our county the dis
grace and Inconvenience Of draft. As you
rightly say, there are but four weeks before
the 10th Of March, and then it will be too
late to complain. Other counties are giving
extra Inducements, and everybody except our
Board Of Supervisors, appears anxious to have
our quota filed. To common people, it
appears only reasonable that the delegated
wisdom of the county should take advantage
Of the only chance left to FIJI our quota; and it
does look as if they would, were there not
some ssl8shness which ovsrbslances their
patriotism. They al profess to be DESTROYS
for the greatest good aud honor to the county,
yet by their hang.back course they falsify
their pretensions. Stir them up, Mr.. Editor;
make them show their hands, and own by
their actions whether they prefer to see a
draft in this county or not. The matter is in
their hands let them be held accountable
Perhaps public meeting Of citizens demand
ing action Of them might have some effect.
If 50, let it be:.called. CITIZEN.

How IT WAS DoNE.-A short time since, .
correspondent Of the Courier. signing him
self ~. Swineford," relates that wishing to
do something for my party, and couple of
other friends of the Courier made a few
efforts, resulting in large club of subscri-
bers in Upton and kechanicsville." The
Col. does not give his manner Of obtaining
these subscribers, nor what these efforts we're,
and as it may be Of use to other copperhead
sheets, we give them as taken from the Upton
Adpertiser:
One Thayer, of Muscatine, who is supposed
to have some connection with the Cburisr,
was here and operated With the Col. and was
one of the 1.-TWO or three other friends" The
twain stationed themselves IN front of one of
our saloons and when supposed "Democrat"
came along he was hailed and introduced to
1.-THE runner for the Courier" Then came
an invitation to take drink and the trio
stepped inside and 'sdrinked; y then the ell
important subject Of supporting the Coxrier
was introduced and urged after the manner of
the Oouriey's standing prospectus and edito-
rails. If the subject bled easily and freely,
all right, and another drink was taken, but
if he cared more for his dimes than the Cou-
rier and its party" the Colonel with his
stern mility air would attempt to brow-beat
him. Generally he succeeded, but OCCASION
ally he fourd q man that feared not the
standing candidate, and then came = scene
not in the bills We will not tell of the hard
words that passed in the disputes as to which
was the better Democrat the Colonel or
the man who refused to take the Courier
They are subjects Of common remark here.
Thayer had persuaded the readers here that
something had to be did" to keep up the
Courier. The usual and UNUSUAL appliances
didn't bring the ''needfup' in sufficiently
large quantities, and now ''Old CEDAR must
'come up and help" or the Courier must 60
down like so many of its late associates. A
purse was made up, and certain class of
men whom they feared were not altogether
reliable were offered the Courier ''free gratis
for nothing" if they would orly take it, and
it was sent to some that had not even been
asked to take it. We believe it does man
good to read such paper - the Courier
occasionally. He can there learn what haters
of the government there are, and can see
enough to make him sorry that he ever acted
with such disloyal men as are the copper
heads. There is no danger of the Courier
bringing over . sensible man to its side. It
will only make him the more determined to
put down the rebellion and all its sympa-
thizers. So Col. We hope you will send
"another hundred" this week.

RETURN or Misunderstanding up Of d
printing office at Fdirfeld-Co. X, I'd Iowa
regiment, from Fairfield, passed through this
city on the afternoon train Tuesday, for
Davenport, whence they go South. They
have been At home on the customary furlough
to veterans.
Previous to leaving home they broke into the
O0mstii~tion and Union Office, paper pub.
lished at Fairfield by Dave Steward, An old
Capitol prison bird. and destroyed and scat
tered the contents. The paper has always
been, in An insignificant manner, a helpmate
to JEFF. Davis, and now meets its doom at the
hands Of insulted and injured soldiers. We
can not, however, but condemn the course
taken. .t.
Hon. s. AcNurr. - The Council Bluffs
Nonpareil, speaking Of the School law in the
Legislature pays the following high compli
ment to one of our Representatives. That
paper says:
One of the ablest defenders of the law a. it
now stands, is Mr.. McNutt, Of Moscatine, who,
by the way, is generally found on the right
side. He is thorough going man, believes
in doing right without regard to what ''folks
will say" and seldom if ever makes Z speech
without appropriating some little corner Of it
to the benefit Of jeff. Davis and his friends I;
and when he throws shell into the camp of
treason no is not very particular how much it
hurts. He deals vigorous blows upon the
head Of copperheadism and ignorance, and
every blow tells. He is no halfway man,
but goes the whole figure"
A Hoo SroHY.-Mr. e. q. DAILY of Center
Grove, furnishes Us the following item and
vouches for it's truth. After the heavy snow
of the 18th aad Goth of December, hog
which he had kept penned up, for tho pur-
pose Of fattening, was not to be found. His
pen, which was covered from sight with snow,
was shovslsd clear, but no porker met the
astonishsd eyes Of the deliverers. Search
was made but without avail, and the hog Civ.
en- up for spoiled bacon. On the 27th day Of
January, one month after his disappearance,
q nsighbor being attracted to we'll that had
bssn dry for seine time, by ominous sounds
from its depths, discovered the long Lost
porker, up to his snout in water, and so far
gone as to be unable to move. He extricated
him from his position, and the hog, although
so weak when taken out - to be unable 10
stand, etill lives, and is doing well. We have
read great many similar stories of the bur-
ial Of animals in various parts Of the State,
BY the snow, but We believe mono Of them
come quite up to this.
