A lady at Lyons who seems to bedisgust-
ed at the backwardness of the young men
Of Lyons in enrolling themselves for the
To-day service, makes the following pro
position through the Mi,ror, to any young
Miss Polly'':-
If there is any young Miss Polly in

Wednesday last, three or four Copperteads

INDIAN. FIGHT IN Iowa. - The Fort
Dodge Republican Of the 18th states on To e
authority Of Hon. Edward Mcknight, that
1 desperate encounter occurred short
time since in Clay county, this State, be-
tween two soldiers Of the 9th Iowa Cavalry
and seven Indians. The soldiers were out
on an excursion three miles from Peterson,
when the Indians sprang out Of ravine
and fired. One Of the assaulted party was
struck on the head by ball, and fell from
his horse. He, however, quickly recove-
ed himself, and in hand to hand encoun-
ter killed one Of the Indians. BY the help
Of his comrade another one of the savages
was killed, and the remainder fled, leav-
ing the two soldiers master Of the battle
field.
The NonpareiL states that fifteen or TWEEN
ty new recruits went into Council Bluffs
the other day, but went back to their
homes because they were unable to find
any officer to swear them IN. That's bad
state Of facts.-Syate Rsgister.
We don't believe there is a word Of truth
in the above statement. It bellies the char
acter of such Union men as Mr.. Bloomer,
Judge Baldwin, and other Union men of
Council Bluffs. "Could MT find any officer
to swear them in!'' A nice advertise
ment' for loyal city. Have you no JUS
tees Of the Peace or Notary Publics in your
city? They are authorized to ''swear in
recruits. If the NonpareNs statement is
true, thank God it's the only city, village,
or haralet, in all loyal Iowa, that we have
heard OF, or ever expect to hear Of, where
men who rendered their services 10 their
imperiled country, could not find at least
one man who could and was willing to
''point to them the way" by which they
could give their immediate aid to the
Shame Shame!
