PorAToE PATCH FOR THE SoLDIERs.-The
question is almost every day asked, will the
ladies of Muscatine have a potato patch for
the soldiers, this season !
1t has been proposed that each neighbour
hood set apart piece Of ground to cultivate
for the soldiers, that potatoes, cabbage, GU
cumbers and onions be raised. By dividing
in neighborhoods, much larger amount Of
land will be donated, and Of course much
greater quantity of vegetables will be raised.
Who will be the first to offer a TRUCK patch
for the soldiers?

How TO DREss.-" Timothy Titcomb" ad-
vises young men to dress soberIy, following
not the fashions to extremes, but keeping
within them so far as not to appear odd. To
make some special article q dress the ground
work to which the rest of the attire should
correspond as near as may be. He thinks
the neck-tie should be that base. Just our
opinion, which is conceded in by Dunsmore
& Barrus, who have received the finest stock
of such ties and scarfs we have ever seen
in this city. And to 60 with the scarf, a
great variety OF pins and bands. For the
rest of the attire, they have a very large
stock Of cassmeres, from which a selection
can be made to correspond with neck-ties Of
every description.

White. The remains will be inferred at Mt.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CAsEs.-In Des
Moines the Copperhead contestant for the
Office Of Mayor demurs to the jurisdiction OF
the City Council, claiming that he must be
admitted to the Office, and then ousted by the
District Court, on the assumption that he
was a usurper. In this city, Funck. the in
cumbent, demurs to the jurisdiction Of the
Court, claiming that the City Council have
the power and of right are the judges Of the
election and qualification of its members, in
Guiding the Mayor, and on the decision pro-
nounced by the Council, holds his Office, com
pelling the contestant to seek the Courts. In
Des Moines the Union men have majority
in the Council. Here the "Cop's" control
the board. That's what's the matter, ard
there's where's the difference.

The MILITARY SPIRIT IN THE Iowa UNI
vRRslrY We receiveda call yesterday morn
ing, from Arthur Blumer, Of Burlington,
who is student in the State University at
Iowa City, He informs US that all the able
bodied young men connected with the insti-
tuition have EN- Sled. Two of the teachers,
Prof. Calver and Tutor Chas. E. Borland,
have also entered the ranks. The former is
West Point graduate. The number of re-
cruits is forty. They have gone home for a
few days, and each one is authorized to act
as recruiting agent in order to fill the compa-
ny to the maximum. Teachers throughout
the country are especially invited to enrol
their names in this company. The remain
ing Professors in the University will present
the Captain with sword and the ladies OF
the institution will give the company mag
ni6cent banner. This is the right kind OF
spirit. We hope to hear in few days of the
organization of this company.

would have been esteemed great prodigy
had any of them done so, and the predictions
thereupon would have come down to US in
the writings of the classic authors, Nor have
we ever seen any account of the pairing Of

The eagle has laid another egg, which is
left in the nest to be Matched. The egg is Of
a dull white color, pointed at both ends,
measuring eight inches in longitudinal cir
cumference, and six inches the other way, =
The eagles seem disinclined TO set close
enough to hatch the egg, and it will probably
be put under hen.

WORDS vs.. WORKS.-GOvernOr stone went
down the river on the Jennie " hipple, yes
terday morning. He reports that recruiting
for the one hundred days service is brisk in
all parts of the State, except at Davenport,
city that has hitherto received all the bene-
fits, and suffered none of the evils of this
war. We opine that it is time some other
city was given at least portion Of the
crumbs. No city in Iowa has been so liber-
ally pat:onized by the Government, and in
none has the calls for troops met with such a
cool reception. 1t is behind its quotas in all
calls. War meeting after war meeting is
nightly held, where eloquent, patriotic and
stirring addresses, and appeals to enlist, meet
with no further response from the crowd Of
we'll dressed and able bodied auditors thar

that has so literally fed them, so long as tn
crumbs continue to fall. She has the materi

What is thought Of the Militia
Gali Cr.sF .r - B.
from the Chicago Times.1

# rL J
We notice that several western Governors
should cal out 100000 militia to serve for six
months on the borders 1t is cssibly a needed
step ia protect our frontiers with inexperienc-
ed troops while Tie veteran regiments at the
front do the fighting. But in seeing a pro
p;iety in this step, We fail to see The %proprie-
ty of calling cut these 20G 600 men from the
northwestern States. Illinois has already sent
some ~ 600 more men to the field than she
was required tots this q reason why she
should be necessitated to furnish some fifty or
sixty thousand militia? Massachusetts, zen
gagged in the int rests of God and humanity"
in driving a thriving trade in the war in kid
mapping Irishmen fer her quota, and in keep.
ing up the supp y of school-marms to Hilton
Head, has been so busy that she has failed to
FL her QUOTAS it for this reason that she
will be excused?
The western States are engaged in agricul-
ture, the Only legitimate branch Of industry
now in operation; New England is engaged
mainly in shoddy contracts, stocks and gold
speculation; hence men can be better spared
from New England than the Northwest.
The Northwest has furnished more than its
share of troops, has won nearly all the victo-
ries, has sustained nearly all the losses, while
it has been preyed upon from the beginning
by eastern Spectators and producers. There
fore, We protest against placing any more bur-
dens upon the Northwest; we have borne
much, too much, already, and the time is not
far distant when further impositions may re-
suit in a costly reaction. Let US have out the
militia of Massachusetts if any are needed for
service.

g- The spread of ''disloyalty" and the
eropth of Litter opposition to the Government,
is really frightiul. Witness the two follow
ing consecutive paragraphs from an able Re-
publican Journal, the Newburyport, Mass
Herald:
There is talk of a new call for 200 900 men
for six or nine months. Or course if thew do
call, any State will raise them or not, as they
see fit. If they don't want to raise the men
they VIII f2ure,a surplus for that State al
ready in the field; or if they can't do that,
they will knew that the draft will first be
postponed aud then revoked.
The President said in his speech at Balti-
more, OF Monday evening, that "when the
war began, scarcely one individual supposed it
would have lasted until now" We don't
know what they thought in Illinois or Wash
ington, but there were very few sensible men
in this quarter who expected that the war
would close in less than three years: and there
are few who now believe that it can be closed
up in less time from this date, though we
hope the heavy fighting will be over in one
year.
