HoNoR TO Wnox HoxoR 10 DUs.-We are
appreciated. Honors dow in upon Us much
ly. No sooner did the important news be-
come noiscd about in the Military Depart
ment of the South West, that We had ac-
cepted the position of Fourth Corporal IN
the brave Iowa State Militia, than our COM
rades in arms proceeded to take up sub
scriptions to assist ~ in procuring the in
stuments Of War; sword, sash, &c"
Company g., 20.h Iowa Infantry promptly
sends US five dollar bill on tho "Miners'
Bank, Of Dubuque, Wisconsin Territory, Of
the issue of ls45" by the hand Of Harry
Blucker, for that noble purpose. We have
not heard from the other Iowa. Regiments
yet, but doubt not that they will all unite
with the Goth in similar expression Of honor
and respect due our rank. We feel gratifl-
cd-not to say fattered-the more 80, per-
haps, in contemplation Of the fact that none
Of our brother officers Of the Iowa State
Militia have been similarly appreciated and
favored. We have previously entertained the
idea that presentation swords were pur-
chased by the officers to whom they were
presented, and that they paid some brother
officer for making neat little presentation
speech but now we see that we were mis-
takcn-those things are done the same way
as we have been done by-by contribution
induced by overdowing Of feelings Of respect.
We have already made arrangements to &C.
cure trusty blade and CORY sash; and to
the latest day Of our military career shall
we cherish the memory Of tho self-sacrifc.
ing veterans Of the glorious Goth who have
undergone such personal sacrifice to assist =
young and aspiring officer to prepare him.
self for the tragic scenes Of the sanguinary
field. Never, while this untamed spirit Of
ours urges us on to deeds Of glory-never
while the rebellion rears it's hydra head,
and squads Of uniformed niggers lay seigc
to our county Jail, shall our good sword
(when we get it, rest within its scabbard,
nor the heart which nerves our strong arm
to deeds of daring. lose the love We bear for
the brave lads of Company g. That's al.
HcxE.-Our young friend Charley Ler-
chen arrived home day or two ago from
Denver City, where he has located himself.
Charley looks finely and says Denver is the
place to live in after all. He returns in :
short time.
Nathaniel G. Hickman, another Of our
young Davenport boys, whose residence is
at Central City, Colorado, arrived in town
last Thursday evening from the far west.
He is digging after the pure democratic
metal when out there. and has = claim in
company with some other Davenport boys,
that seems bound to pay handsomely.
Lowe Cook is also among the number d
returned gold hunters Of the far west. He,
too, sports happy countenance and has Z
fair hold on prosperity.
