HEADQUARTERS. % DIVISION, 10TH AR
MY CORPS, PULASKI, Tenn, Feb. Is, 1884,
FRIEND DUNHAM:-In glancing over a late
number Of your valuable paper, failed to
see anything in its columns from this Di-
vision, (which think should have a cor
respondent,) paper so generally read at
home and in the army. We are glad to get
the home news, and no doubt but those at
home are glad TO hear from their friends in
the army.
Three regiments in thisdivision hail from
the noble State of Iowa, the I'd, 7th and
seth, all known in the history Of the State.
The two first are stationed at this place.
The latter at Lynnville, II miles north Of
this place. At present, the I'd and It'll are
home on furloughs, having re-enlisted as
veterans. In the I'd Iowa l9 commissioned
officers and 2O9 enlisted men, re-enlisted as
veterans. In the 7th, 26 commissioned Off
GERS and Z19 men. The 39th Iowa is not e!-
igible to re-enlis.ment. After such an ex-
ample from the old veterans Of five great
battles and ten days hard fighting, should
any one doubt the issue in this gigantic
struggle, should those that have stood in
the back ground and witnessed all this,
still be afraid to come mp and grasp Uni
ted States musket and fall in with those old
and tried soldiers, and help to crush out
this, the most wicked rebellion that Gods

Nc The Austro- Prussian invasion OF
the Danish territory, we judge, bids fair to
complicate all Europe. The Danes alone,
comparatively few in numbers, will hardly
be able resist the assault of their powerful
invaders. As between these contestants
alone the issue can not long be doubtful.
But the fact is that the peoples of Europe
are in universal ferment. It's slumber-
ing volcano. The quarrels among the rul-
ers, which appear on the surface, are mere
bagatelle compared with the intenser strug-
gle for which the goreraed are everywhere
preparing. They are only piding their
time. The eruption, we judge is sure to
come. Italy, Hungary, Poland, France
have been for a long time impatient of their
condition. Germany is not much better
IN Prussia the King and the representatives,
OF the people are at open enmity. And in
the midst Of this scarcely concealed ami
mostly, war is actually going on, waged
by Austrian and Prussian rulers, as we I'M
stand the matter, merely to sustain the pre-

such events could be surely made to en-

like that. Who shall say it was not the

HN- Our readers have had the satisfac
ton of noting the proceedings Of the Bor
der State Freedmen's Convention, held a.
Louisville on the odd, as they were sent Us
by telegraph. The sentiments expressed
and the resolutions adopted show pretty
distinctly in what region radicalism in this
country has been most rapidly developed
and is likely to find most followers. 1t is
plain that the men who compose the Con-
yention are in earnest. They wish to 60 to
the bottom-to strike at the root Of our ca
lamities, and to do this in the most tren-
chant manner. They do not propose any
halfway measures. They have taken oil
their gloves and propose to eradicate sla-
very by the very shortest possible method.
They more than confirm what we have be-
fore said Of them. They do not content
themselves with our wonderful progress,
of which their own conduct and ideas are
living witnesses. They would leap at
once to the result they aim at. They can
not be satisfied with walking, or even with
railroad conveyance to the end. They
would be there mow. Telegraphic speed
alone Will suit tucul.
This Convention itself is remarkable
event. 1t met in Louisville, in Kentucky.
Its members were mostly Kentuckians,
Missourians. Arkansans and Tennessee
ans. 1t proposes to destroy slavery every
where at once, and utters this voice as the
representatives of q large population
which, three years since, would have hung
any man in their midst on the bare suspi-
cion of such ideas. Thisw wonderful change
shows how far we have gone. We ought
to be content to keep moving at the same
rate. If we seek too great speed there is
some danger that the machine will break
down.
Much as We and all good citizens desire
to reach the end, we do not deem it wise to
take steps which endanger the future, or
attempt to rush forward more rapidly than
is certainly safe. If the radicals cannot be
satisfied with such progress as we have
made and are making, it seems to US that
they are somewhat unreasonable.
Unreasonable as they seem, there ID still
to US it. They are South
ern men-were lately pro-slavery men,
They are excusable for their intensity Of
feeling, for they have suffered as we have
not. They are now in the advance, right
in purpose, but hasty and passionate in
their method. We shall seek TO effectuate
the same ends, but with safer, and, there
fore, wiser means. We follow by surer
road. That's all.

A SINGULAR STORY.-The Schenectady
Star tells the following:
"A lady-married, and having a large
family-living in Johnstown, died under
rather singular circumstances some days
since. She pretended to have learned, by
visitation or premonition, the exact period
Of her death, and accordingly, some weeks
previous to that event, made all prepare
lions for it, paying farewell visits to her
numerous friends, arranging her grave
clothes, etc. She did not appear to dread
the speedy death which she believed in
store for her; she spoke of it As she would
Of an ordinary occurrence, and evidently
believed that others would so regard it,
One Saturday. apparently in her usual
health, she did her own washing and ba-
king, washed herself from head to foot,
wrote two farewell letters to her children,
and finally carried the clothes she threw
off up two pair of stairs and hung them
carefully away. saying she should not need
them again. She spoke truly, for the next
morning she was found dead in her bed
The lady was not deranged, and her well
known character precluded the idea Of her
taking means to make her belief come
true.'

We publish the Act to amend the En-
roilment Act Of the last Congress as it
passed both Houses. AS the date Of the
DRAM under it draws near the public is
generally interested in its provisions. We
give the full text so that each may read
and understand for himself.
The most important change in the law is
that which consolidates the two classes Of
the former law into one. So that all men
between the ages of twenty years and
forty-live. married or single, stand upon
the same footing and are equally subject to
the call. Persons who have been standing
back relying on exemption because Of
being heretofore enrolled in the second
class, will now understand that there il NO
second class, and that all are in one.
The exemptions are those physically or
mentally unfit for service, those actually
in the military or naval service. and those
who have already served tUo years during
the present war.
The law provides for the enrolment of
al persons who may have been omitted
from me lists at any time prior to Draft,
anu also Of those who may become twenty
years Of age prior to the date of Draft
In all Districts where the quota is not
likely to be filed by the 10th Of March
next these latter provisions are important.
1t is probable that quite number OF such
persons, not now on the lists, will be found
in each. Hthere is to be Draft, of course
it is OF interest to each man that the lists ID
made complete as possible. Those who
know Of such cases should notify the Pro.
vost Marshal of the proper District, stating
name. in full, the comfy, township. and
other sub-dstrict plainly.
Under this act, any person can exemp
himself from draft at any time prior there

EDITOR OF HAwK-EyE:-By the mail
that bears this letter you will receive the
published proceedings of the State Con-
vention, held yesterday in this city. Con-
trary to general expectation the Conven-
ton was well attended. The delegations
were very respectable in numbers outside
of legislative representation. And, still
better, there was unmistakable evidence
OF zeal and unity Of purpose. Conclusive
indications were afforded that the friends
Of the Union will 60 into the coming cam
vass with confidence in the justice of
their cause, determination to work, that
will secure an overwhelming victory. In
deed il is confidently believed that the Re
publican nominee will receive the vote OF
every State in which an electoral ticket is
presented. Such cOnsummation is most
devoutly to be desired. With such vic
tory, the moral power of the Administra-
ton and the Government would be irresist-
IDLE, and victory would perch upon its ban
ners in every martial conflict.
Another fact was obvious. There is no
disposition to quarrel about candidates.
Chase, Butler, johnson and Fremont all
had their friends in the Conventions: but
all united in awarding to Abraham Lin
coin the praise of fidelity to his high trust
and singular success in his measures. All
are ready to 90 forward under his lead Of

worthy OF the National Convention. Bv

The speculations of the Richmond papers

they have to depend upon are the veteran

Tuscarora, by the British authorities al

seized then, quite as much as at the time ii
was. If the English Government will now

sells which have been built and equipped in
its own ports whenever they come within
its jurisdiction, we shall begin 10 believe
