R Dave Colerick. of Indiana, an out;
spoken old Coppsrhsad, said, on behalf Of
his party in re elation to the war in the
South: " When ners Of our victories come
there is no veoicias. When neOs of our
defeat comes there is no sorrop."
That is no less true as description
OF the Copperheads Of Iowa than it is Of
those of Indiana. Only it might be said
when news of our defeat comes there is
iii-concealed joy and triumph. and the
news is announced in such sneering phrase
as"A nigger brigade repulsed," or the
like.

ST. LOUIS BRAscH,

Rer. and Dear Brother:
The President Of the United States has
appointed the 6rst Thursday in August
as day of fasting, humiliation and pay
or. Upon that day, all over the loyal
North, congregations will assemble to in
woke the blessing of Almighty God upon
the national arms, and pray for the res
toration of just and honorable peace.-
The defenders Of the republic will not be
forgotten. The prayer, "God bless our
Soldiers" will fall from many lips, and
ascend from many hearts.
Would it not be fitting time to ask the
people to come forward once more apd as.
sist the Cnristian Commission in its
Christ-like work?
The Christian Commission aims to be
the home link of this war. To bear the
benefactions Of the people to the army;
and so perfectly and economically does it
accomplish this work, that, according to
the statement of Mr.. Geo H. Stuart,
President Of the Commission at Phiadel.
phia, ninety-six and one half cepts of
every dollar contributed. goes directly to
the soldier.
More than four hundred unsalaried
delegates are now 10 the army. working
on the field and in the hospital me o
whom the love of Christ coustrains.
No page 10 the history Of this SAD war
glows with such heavenly brightness as
that which records the labors, sacrifices
and triumphs Of the Christian Commits
sion. An eminent eurgeon testi6es thss
upon the field of Gettysburg alone, BY its
prompt ministrations, more than one
thousand lives were saved. Who has
counted the multitude led by its instru-
mentality to the Cross of Jesus! Thus,
bearing in one hand supplies for the
ody--in the other the .sBresd OF Life
| Eternal" the Commission ventures on,
upon the field of strife. Two hundred and
forty delegates are 10 day with Gen. Grant
over one hundred with Gen. Sherman,
besides msuy in other departments of the
army. The incidents Of thrilling interest
narrated by them, illustrative of the
work of the Commission, would filI vol.

which if you think worthy of . corner
in your paper you may publish.
The l4th Iowa Infantry has now been
in service nearly three years. but the
people of Iowa seem TO know very little
about it,-prcbably from the fact that il
has no regular correspondent for any of
the papers at home. IS

force and get his supply train in order,
and July 9th started in south. .easterly

until the lltb, when We had short
skirmish with the rebels ut Pont otoc.--
We marched through Pontotoc, and en-
camped on the side Of it next to Okolona,
where We lay until the 18th, Forrest fully
believed We we're going TO Okolona. and
made preparations to give rs . warm re-
ception, but on the morning of the 18Th,
Gen. Smith marched back through Pom.
totoc and took the road to Tupelo, apd
st night Forrest found us in his rear in
stead Of his front. Our train was az
tackled this day, but the only damage
done, aside from the killing Of one sur.
geon, was the loss of few mules and
wagons. W -

Smith had chosen a. adm irable position
about one mile from Tupslo, and although
the enemy made two desfsrass charges
he was each time driven back With terri
