one cause or another have refused to join
either side, and 70 avoid the conscript acts
have .'laid OUT In the woods most of the
time during the war. Most of them have
been caught on different occasions and
taken to the rebel army only to desert ct
the ilrst opportunity and return to brush.
The hatred for this class by the rebel sol.
degrees than that felt in our army against
those Northern snakes more charitably
called Copperheads. Many laugnable in.
cidents often occur a. these men present
themselves for parole. Some Captains who
had but eight or ten fighting men to sur
render, find to their astOnishment that 30
numerous are their moss-b back members,
their rolls suddenly swell to 100 or even
$50 names. Numerous paroles have been
granted here to men who were booked rs
killed at Bull Run and Shiloh. One man
reported killed in the latter battle and bu-
ried by his comrades, with q headboayd to
his grave, by means OF which his afflicted
wife found his remains and had them ex.
humed and buried amid many tears in the
family graveyard, reported in sound health
and receiving his parole, went away Nv-
ing witness Of the truth Of the saying, that
HE who fights and runs away
~ Nay live % fight another day"
His wife, however, having had her cry
out, married again. She says she likes her
second husband best, and that the frat one
may spend the rest Of hts days where he
has the past three years. Some men call
for paroles here who have forgotten what
company or regiment they belonged to.
The third and smallest class are those who
being Union men and not afraid to fight
Joined the Union Army. Most of these
men have had a father or brother killed, a
sisteEdpr a wife outraged, or a mother In
suited while nearly all of them have had
their Homes burned by their rebel neigh
bors. They usually know the perpetrators
of these deeds, and nothing short Of their
blood will satisfy them.
The reader will see that nothing
can prevent q disagreeabie state Of things
in country 80 divided. But AZ the YAM
kee soldier is friendly 20 all classes; he
alone Is safe.
But what of the ID Iowa? We are
armed again with new Spencer Carbines,
mounted on mules and horses, and sta.
toned in small desachments through the
country 70 preserve order. The head
quarters of the regiment are at 1uka.-
