Mr.. HOWELL: Permit me to say to the
young men of Keokuk and Lee county
that they have chance now of enlisting
in regiment which has as bright q re-.
cord as any which has faced the enemies
Of our country. A number of the Iowa
Second are now in Keokuk, sojournipg
for brief furlough with their friends
and neighbors, but will shortly report
themselves for service, at Davenport. We
are anxious to have our thinned ranks
filed up once more with the young men
of Iowa. Shall we be disappointed in
this reasonable request? Ee
The record of the Second il bright
one, and she has received, as she deserves,
the highest cncomiums of the country
Donaldson, Shiloh and Corinth attest her
socri6ce and her daring. Who will no,
be proud in the future to share in her
glory?
Rally, then, my countrymen, and fl
up the ranks Of company A, Cd Iowa ID,
fantry, and when the spring puts on hel
beauty. and the word shall pass along th,
line 70 "brsak camp" We will again bea
TO the brctze the flag of the Second
which has never known defeat.

with emotions of pride and gratitude that
| recur 10 the scenes of yesterday at
Bayou Metal, Arkansas-with pride that
| can commend all of the company for
gallantry and daring in the charge upon
the bridge over the Bayou, and with
gratitude that so few of us fell from SO
murderous fire of grape and canister,
together with the musketry of the enemy.
l would especially commend the gallant
conduct of Sergeants A. p. Boyce and
Henry L. Morrill,, who SO promptly and
successfully led our advance column
through and around detachment which
hesitated and staggered in our advance
Such prompt action marks the good sol
dier and is worthy Of honorable mention
Let US thank God for our preservation
while we shed tear over the unmarked
grave Of Hiram Leland, the brave soldie
who fell at his post. / desire no highe
honor than to lead such troops.

The effect of the order Of the War De-
partment prohibiting the appointment and

has been to make nearly all of our I'd
Lieutenancies vacancies. These positions.

to new men who are active and aspiring
and who will bring recruits enough to
GIL up the reduced companies to the min

No newregiments are to be organized

missions must hook to the regiments al

of the First Iowa Regiment of African
Descent, and knowing that very few o
the colored soldiers can write, and conse
quently their friends get but little inform
alton through private letters, will yor
please publish in the columns of your pa.

have penned.
We are now at Helena, Arkansas. Ths

of the regiment is very good when com.
pared with other colored regiments Of thi.

about $50 men, while We have lost, in
all. about fifty.
There is something mysterious con.
ceruing many Of the deaths that have oc.
Cured IL this regiment. Some have
died in their tents without any one know
ing it. Others have dropped dead while
at work. They have not got the courage
or fortitude that white men have, to
stand up under sickness. When any little
thing ails them they give up and become
discouraged at once. This is nothing
more than might be expected among q
race of people who have been enslaved so
long that the manhood is almost crushed
out of them. And then these very ones
who have murdered the humanity of this
people cry out, "They won't make good
soldiers; they have no energy or courage .
Only educate them and elevate their po.
sition. and have no doubt they will have
the same bravery as other men.
Our soldiers have learned to drill much
faster than l expected. They can GO
through the manual of arms equal to any
regiment that have ever seen. and
have no doubt they will do good fighting
