"BY THEIR WORKS SHALL YE JUDGE Them
The attention of our readers is directed to the
advertisement of Lyons Periodical Drops in
another column Of this paper. 1t is an arti-
Gle which, if properly used, will mitigate the
suferings and alleviate the aff1ictton of many
of the sex for whose especi nse it is intend
ed. The fact that its originator, Dr. Jno.s L.
Lyon, is now, and has been for the last
twenty years, regular practitioner in the city
from which the remedy comes, is of itself
guarantee of its efficacy and abundant proof
that it is no humbng. All those who are suf-
fering from long seated diseases which it is
warranted TO cure, would not find the expense
of trial burdensome. and if as assured
cure is efectual, restoring and regulating
suppressed nature, the simple expenditure Of
single dollar would be but trife, compared
to vigor, strength, and health regained.
rs The quarter from which the article eman-
ates, endorsed by one of our most reliable
eastern Drug Houses, gives it an importance
worthy of your attention. While the pro-
prietors are aware that such articles are often
used wrongfully, aud for purposes entirely
at variance with the laws of nature, and their
own explicit directions, yet the misuse by the
one, should not prevent the proper use of it
by another, and it is their earnest wish that
thousand bottles may be consumed for
good and honest purposes, where one is i'm
properly and wrongfnlly applied. -q nj VI

it? From the highest to the lowest officer in
the army, Ito use an old and homely express
sion) one is as deep in the mud as the other
is in the mire, with but few exceptions. And
instead Of those whose business it should be
to suppress this evil endeavoring to do 80, it
is fostered and nurtured in every possible
manner !; SO much so that drinking bad whis-
ky is almost an indispensable qualification for
any one who expects advancement or promo
ton; and generally the more he can drink
the better the chance for promotion.
All remained quiet until P. NJ on Satur.
day, at which time we started on our home
ward march. The 10th Wisconsin formed
their regiment and marched out a short dis
lance in advance of us and halted, opened
order, aboutfaced the front rank and stood at
present arms while we passed through, and
after we had passed gave US three hearty
cheers. This, suppose, was intended as
compliment to US, which we duly appreciated
as such. Long may they wave!'
On our return we observed something
which was not so easily discovered during
our night march, viz: that our road lay
through the most barren, sterile looking re-
gion that it has yet been our fortune to pass
sAAOuSh. Az was q COIIIiludl 6uCCcSSIVu VI
those hills for which this country is Justly
noted, which were composed Of reddish
looking clay, washed into seams and cutters
IN all directions, and almost bare of all vege.
taton. Although they have been cultivated
they have washed so badly during the two
years that they have been neglected that
think it will never be done again. There is
scarcely vestige Of improvements left on
them; all the fences and buildings are either
destroyed or removed. .-'
We came back without any halt, and arri.
we'd at our old camp about P. NJ, since which
time everything moves along the same as it
did before. t'f
Four recruits for the regiment, of which
%. H, received one, arrived on the oath, and
as they were taken with us suppose they
thought they had rather rough introduction
to soldering. - PAUL JONES,
@ Co. H, 18th Iowa Infantry.

The National Ship Canal.

The National Ship Canal.
The citizens Of Davenport are moving in
earnest to secure the National Ship Canal 10
that point. A meeting was held on Tuesday
evening, at which $500 were raised iowa, ds
defraying the expenses Of survey Of the
route from Lasalle. A memorial to the Leg
islature was also adopted, asking an appro-
priation for this purpose. or 81
If this route is secured, or any other cal
culated to benefit the country bordering on
the Mississippi aboveSt Louis, it will only
be by united and vigorous effort on the
part of citizens of this State. Chicago is
using powerful influence for the Illinois
river route, with the outlet Of the canal to the
Mississippiat Alton. This shuts out Iowa
completely. as alse portion of Western Hi
nois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, from any ad-
vantages whatever of the canal. The advo.
Gates Of the Illinois river route contend that
the canal should unite with the Mississippi
below the Lower Rapids, in order to afford
free navigation for ships from the Lakes to
the Gulf It would be an easy matter to i'm
prove the Lower Rapids for this purpose
much easier than to construct nearly two
hundred miles of canal, which will be saved by
adopting the Rock Island route. Besides the
canal would then follow the natural course Of
trade from East to West, instead Of making
an awkward Southern detour. d, sf.- 81
The people Of the Upper Mississippi have
a deeper interest in this measure than they
seem to realize atpresent. They must arouse
to the importance Of speedy action, or the
golden opportunity to bring the markets Of
the East almost to their doors will be forever
lost.

ton Is to preserve remnant that may take
root and spread, until it has brought upon
those who come after us, the terrible evils We
are now enduring? Had we better remove
this cause of strife, aud that being done, may
we not reasonably hope that, when the natu-
raj bitterness growing out of our present
strife shall have passed away, the kindly and
fraternal feelings which, but for this cause,
would have always existed, may be again re-
stored?
But we should not permit the discussion OF
these, or similar questions, to divert us from
theparamount purpose of prosecuting the war
earnestly and vigorously, until all men in re.
bellion against the Government shall, either
voluntarily or by compulsion, lay down their
arms. In this consists our only safety, and
feel we'll assured that you will, so far as de-
ponds on you. see to it that Iowa, in the flu
ture as in the past, will do her full share Of
this good work, promptly and well.
The position occupied by our State, in this
war for the preservation of the Union, is a
proud and enviable one. From the FL st out
break of the rebellion until the present time,
Iowa has neither faltered nor wavered in the
discharge Of her duty. In both branches Of
the National Council she has presented an un-
broken front to treason and rebellion and has
given steady and undivided support to the
General Government. Her State Government,
in all its branches, has given evidence of her
unhinching and unconditional loyalty and de-
votion to the good cause. Her people have,
at all times and promptly, filled all requisi-
tons made upon them for troops to fill the
ranks Of the Union armies and the men she
has sent to the field have been, at least, Sec
ond to none in all soldierly qualities.
To these men yet another word is due from
me. When this war began, ours was new
State. without history. To-day, her name
stands on one of the brightest pages Of our
country's record-graven there by the bayo-
nets of our brave soldiers, and that page is all
over glowing with the proofs of their hero
ism and devotion. We have sent to the field
no Regiment OF which we do not feel justly
proud, and the bare mention of the names of
many of them stirs the blood and warns the
heart of every Iowan.
1t may perhaps be permitted me so say
that trust that when the history Of the gal
lantry and devotion Of these men shall be
written, the position have held will of ne
cessity connect my name humbly, and not
discreditably, with theirs, and that this trust
affords compensation for somewhat of toll and
care which have attended that position,
and should be sufficient to satisfy an ambi-
ton greater than mine.

A RAILROAD TO OsKALoosA.-The Oska-
loosa Times says the Keokuk Railroad Com
pany have determined to leave Oskaloosa out
in the cold BY running their road three miles
west Of the town. The Times truly remarks
that Oskaloosa can have much better East
ern connection by way of Muscatine. We
can say for the encouragement of our Oska-
loosa friends that the prospect for the speedy
construction of this road is much better now
than for some time past. A scheme is on
foot, not proper now to divulge, which will
secure the early completion Of this important
road. 8

~ A nice little Copperhead game has
been discovered in Southern Illinois, by
which swindlers have been selling bogus fur
loughs and discharges to soldiers, thereby
keeling them out of the army. The 12Sth
Illinois regiment, which deserted last year,
had been literally supplied with furloughs,
for which they paid $25 each, with promise
of discharge for $l75. The names of four
parties, more or less connected with the affair,
are known, who will be likely to have meted
out to them in due season the just reward Of
their villainy. FoG
