IOtvA's WAR RECORD.

Iowa has new laurels for her war record
By the recent computation at Washington
it is shown that " she stands one of a nobl,
pair Of States, exempt from draft by virtue
OF the shining patriotism Of her people in
more than filling every demand of the Gov.
ernmens for troops" Every loyal Iowaar
must feel his heart beat with pride as he reads
the volunteer record Of his Hawk Eye State
-" Whole number due under all calls. IS.
cG4; Whole number furnished, 55,794."--
Thus molly has she responded to the coun
fry's call for men to "rally round the flag "
in the cause Of our inperi!ed Union. To the
$50 men over all calls, she has yet to add her
We enlisted veterans, and volunteers since
March lst. No State in the Union has fair
er record than lowa-lllinois the only one
which makes SO clear showing We glory
in our Iowa and her gallant boys in blue"
Proud may the Old Flag be Of such disciples.
The name of Iowa Boys" is everywhere a
terror to foes--and pride Of friends. On all
the fields they've fought, never have they
disgrsced themselves, their country, or their
State. History viii know them and do them
honor as citizen soldiery, fighting for coun-
try, for Liberty, and God, whose loins were
eiraed up by pure and holy patriotism. We
have stock invested in The rank and file of
Iowa troops. Iowa has. too, her phalanx Of
bright particular stars stars known and
named, and we look upon the record of our
gallant Heron, Curtis, Lauman. Dodge and
scores beside with feelings Of honest pride
and with the echo of the people ringing
through the corridors Of our heart" Long
live the heTocs!"
Our desire is that men Of Iowa at home
may keep as bright record as men Of Iowa
III the field. And this we believe they will.
Our patriotic soil is not free from the polu.
ton Of the Coppe,head il is true, but the in.
Significance Of their " fire in the rear" is
fully oyinced by loo,. to our election returns,
20 our State officers, and our Legislature
A poor home for Coppcrheads is Iowa--only
nine on joint ballot in the Legislature! Ask
LeGiand Byington.
SO on to the end Of this terrible war will
Iowa keep her record. The reputation Of her
sons in the field shall not suffer by the repu-
tstion OF her people at heme--the parallel
shah be kept up to the end Of the race. As
she has in the past responded so she is YET
prepared il. the future TO respond TO all calls
for men and money.
Throw out the glad Old Flag for Iowa and
our Country

THE first volume Of Horace Grceley's
american Conflict will be issued about the
first Of July. We are under especial obIiga
tons to the Western publishers, Geo. Sher-
wood & Co., Chicago, for specimen pages Of
this forthcoming work. we have been de.p.
ly interested in their perusal, and if We
doubted before the qualification Of Greeley
to write the best History of the Great Rebel
lion that will appear in our time, the doubt
is now fully removed. Those who haze
looked upon him only in the light of an ar
dent political partisan, will be surprised at
the impartial, logical manner he deals with
facts and figures as historian. We all want
a history Of the war-Greelcy's is by all odds
the best in every sense that will appear in
our generation, and consequently we want
his. The sample before us proves the me-
chanical execution Of the work to be unsur-
passed. The paper is very heavy, clear and
white, and the type is large and bold--sz
printers would say, it is sn excellent job and
works well. The work is sold entirely by
agents. Mr.. S. NJ. Chase, of this place, re.
liable and accomplished gentleman, is agent
for Black Hawk, Butler and Buchanan coun-
ties and is now engaged in canvassng. lie
deserves to be successful The price Of the
work complete is $3.50, $500 and 5000
per volume, payable on delivery. The second
volume will be issued as soon as possible az.
ter the close Of the war.

The foregoing deficiencies will be reduced
by the number Of men enlisted in each State
since March 1st, and also by the re enlisted
Veterans.
When this statement FIRST appeared Iowa
was put down as deficient G,701-number.to'
raise, 1910. But this proved to be q mis-
take--instead Of a deficiency Of 6,1Ol we
had a surplus of $50 over all calls. 1t is
very easy to see how this mistake occurred;
the 6,Tol should have gone into The credit
column instead Of the deficiency.

CorPERnEAp STATE CONVENTION is a
fact that very few people seem to know-we
have seen it mentioned in but one paper
that the Iowa State Democratic Convention
is called.to meet at Des Moines on the 10th
Of. June next. The call is very blue and aw-
ful Coppery. The chief corner Stone"
says the call, "of our National Political edi
fise is non.interlerencc, by federal authority,
with the domestic affairs OF the States."--
Why not have been little palmer and said
in one word-Slasery' The Administration
Of Abraham Lincoln says the manifesto has
produced real disunion, practical despotism
and disastrous civil war ~ Further, the said
administration should not be permitted "to
perpetuate itself either by fraudulent cleo
tons or by military domination" We haven't
got many Copperheads in Iowa, but those we
have are "orlul pizcn." Well, LIE Grand
and cohorts, so in on your nerve and come
out, as usual, on your--backsides

CLARKsvILLE.--The statement made in the
GAZETTE some time ago of the number Of
cases Of small pox at GAINESVILLE, we are in
formed by citizens Of that place, was an ex-
sggerstion. We are sorry to have made an
erroneous statement Of anything concerning
the interests of that enterprising village
There were some half dozen cases Of the small
pox there at one time bat at present there is
no case existing, nor has there been for some
time past, and all danger of the contagion is
now entirely removed.

such men are to be re-transferred to their or.
