REMARKS.
Our correspondents are right in suppos-
ing that we design TO treat all the dideren!
churches and denominations with fairness.
We shall net Intentionally do q wrong to
the Pope ..of Rome, or any good Catholic
whatever be his political position. Our
West Point friends viii please notice few
facts:
1st. The position Of the Catholics in this
country touching cur great national strugr
gle to preserve the Union. The whole
moral power and influence Of the Church
has been against the Government and in
favor of the rebellion. All Catholics, with
but few and rare but glorious exceptions.
have voted solid against Abraham Lincoln
and the:war. All Catholics, with but few
and rare exceptions, have not only refused
20 fight, but discouraged enllstments in the
army. SO much for the position Of the
Catholics Of this country touching the
War, tsas 9st

ton and blessing to the scheme by which
the Republic Of Mexico was overthrown
BY French bayonets,. and an European
Monarchy established on this continent.
Sd. His Holiness late encyclical letter
which il the "Higher Law Of the .Catho-
lie Church, and above the laws Of all
earthly Governments, IS anti-repnblican in
every particular. He hurls his denuncia-
tons against Progress, Liberalism and
modern civilization" as The principal err
rors of our SD age" The sentiment,
sLiberty Of conscience and Of worship IS
the right Of every MAN. he denounces as

Catholic Church aud Of souls" His Holi-
ness quarrels with our free schools, with
our freedom of speech and Of the press,
and demands temporal power to prevent
mankind worshiping God except in hi
way, after the forms Of the Catholic
This letter as explained by the
conduct Of the Catholic clergy and laymeD
IN the United States since the opening Of
the rebellion, satisfies us that the Catholic
Church is anti-republican, and that it is
very difficult for the many true and pious
Catholics in this country TO obey the Pope

An Appeal. ON behalf OF our Sol.
0IeeS.


EDITOR BURLINGTON HAWK. EyE-E-R:
Will Won be so kind as to allow these few
lines place in your noble and patriotic
paper. offer this in behalf Of the noble
and brave soldiers OF the State of Iowa. It
is we'll known that the troops under the
command of Major GEM 4. J. Smith have
been almost constantly on the move either
by land or water for year past, from Sher-
mans famous raid to Meridian in January
last, one year ago, these troops have passed
over about six thousand miles, and fought
many victorious battles, viz: Pleasant
Hill and Yellow Bayou, La; Lake Cheat,
Ark; Tupullo, Miss: Nashville, Tenn,
&C., besides many important skirmishes,
and Of course i, cannot but be ex pected that
they are much worn out and need rest and
dieting. Al present, we are in our winter
quarters at PASSPORT. Miss, and xpect to
remain here for some time yet.
Now in behalf of these men, especially
of Iowa soldiers, appeal to the Agents Of
our Sanitary Department, to make every
effort to furnish these men all the vegeta-
bles possible, such as potatoes, onions,
men have been living so long upon salt
pork and fresh unhealthy beef, hard bread,
and impure water that it is taking humid
reds to their graves. They must have other
diet-they deserve 1t, and our country owes
1t to them for the service they have render
ed il. 1t is not enough that these things
are furnished to the hospitals and TO men
completely disabled or dying. 1t is truth
fully said that an ounce of preventive is
worth more than pound of cure. So
these noble, brave men should have these
necessary edables before they are COM
pletely broken down. Many lives may be
saved by It, and thus save the sad tears
that 90 often battle the cheeks of parents,
widows and orphans at home and through
out the country.
the thousands of dollars in money, BUSH
Iowa, if properly distributed. to her traAps,
would do an immense amount Of good but
am prepared to say that little is received
by them, unless in snch condition Of sick
ness, that they must be sent away from
their regiments to lay in some loathesome
hospital. Now while our troops are here
for q month or two, beg in their behalf,
that every effort be made TO furnish them
and retit them for successful spring cam
friends, bring on your barrels Of potatoes,
onions, &c. Cheer up the nerves Of the sol
der, give him Of your abundance, thus
cheerfnlly will he stand between you and
danger, till the lest traitorous demon is
driven from our sacred land.
Soldiers in the field are mostly consider
ed healthy and seldom receive their proper
share of sanitary goods. Now 10 the time
to reward our brave boys ~ they are TAX
every camp or regiment from Iowa, and
let them see that Iowa soldiers receive their
sanitary stores properly.
desire this appeal TO be copied by all
in Iowa who love to advocate
the interests Of our army and country.

Mr.. DUNCAN Whenever an Eastern In

eight per cent. bonds to raise the same
st the June session, it was proposed to
issue, in lieu of portion of these
bonds, Treasury notes. And it was
this bill that Mr.. W. voted for. The
bonds were such securities as a State
might issue for a lawful purpose, whilst
Treasury notes were not authorized
and were, therefore, void. SO that in

The most that can be said of it is, that
it was a change Of one character of lia-

But it is said he offered an amend

The proposition was, it IS said, to in
crease the pay so as to make it twenty
dollars per month. 1t failed, and by
whose votes By the votes of the lead
