The Bounty Business. mornings
Gazette accuses us Of mercenery motives IN
asserting that the Iowa Grey Boards will re
ceive bounty. We quote the following
fron. a late issue of the Muscatine
journal.
It is also stated that all who were dis
charged from this regimen before it was
mustered out, having served two years. were
paid the usual bounty Thus portion of
the regiment are denied what the rest re-
ceived. Congrcss ~iU probably order the
bounty to Ls paid to au nho hare not receioed
ii. This will be 40 more than justice to
them. The reason they are denied bounty
is they enlisted when over 45 years OF age,
and the law does not recognize them IS SOL
diers when over that age.
We suppose the Gazette man will now
denounce the journal a. being in the Gun
ploy Of claim agents.

The VETERAN RESERVE CoRPs.-This
organization is rapidly being dsbanded.-
When this disbandment was first proposed
Il loud hue and c,y was raised by the Re
publican papers in many parts Of the coun-
try, against the pretended injustice which
was about to be done to worthy sodisrs who
had been rendered helpless in the service of
their country. Of course this procee tcd
from the influence of hundreds of officers
who were 10th to give up their easy positions
and comfortabl salaries for the battle ofcivil
life. At length it was decided TO leave tse
matter entirely at the disposal of those
really intercsted-the private soldiers Of the
organization those wishing to be mustered
having that privilege. Ofthe 4th regiment
garrisoning the Island, every private soldier
has withdrawn, aud Of the company of q
at Camp Mcclellan, only one has signified
his desire to remain in the service. That's
conclusive.

LANES KNITTING MAcBINE.-Throw away
your knitting needles, ladies-use them up
for hair pins; for the machine is now in
vented that renders them entirely out Of
date-thcir use sinful waste Of time. We
had the good sense, this morning, to visit
the Office of NJ. q. Lee, No. 4 Hills Block,
over McCosh 4 Odiorne's hardware store, to
see Lambs Family Knitting Machine. 1t
is truly one Of the wonders Of this age Of
wonder 'ul inventions. What we saw was
. neat little compact machine attached to
table, and possessed Of numerous dextrous
little fingers, which, when the power is ap
piled, set up = whirr of pleasant music, and
in less time than it would take for an expert
grandmother to "knit around half dozen
times, off comes a neatly knit sock-nar
rowed and widcned to the shape Of the foot
and save fastening the heel, as complete
as could he asked for. Indeed, We saw
sock knit in the best style, in only seren
minutes. 1t is perfect miracle Of speed
and metallic intelligence.
Nor is it confined to one class Of goods, or
to ono stitch. 1t will kit any style ofsock
or stocking-as properly narrowed and wi
dened from top to toe; then by changing
the stitch, and material, the neatest sty les
OF shaws, hoods. nubias. sacks, breakfast
capcs, jackets, garribaldis, shirts, under
sleeves, childrens' cloaks, cradle blankets,
little boys suits, snow shoes, leggings,
aHghans, sashcs, cords, cravats, mittens,
glovcs-in short anything that can be knit
by hand can be knit by this machine-the
style Of knitting only being limited to the
ingenuity Of the person running it. 1t is
perfectly simple in its construction, and is
sold at reasonable price. We would ad.
wise the ladies to go and see this machine
by all means. II is SO far ahead of any thing
Of the kind yet invented, as to hardly admit
of comparison-both to style and variety of
work.
Mr. Lee has the General Agency for
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Idaho and Da
cotah, and is prepared to sell territory on
liberal terms.
Mr.. NJ. L. Lamb, brother of the inventor.
will have several Of the machines in opera
tion during the coming winter, at the place
above named, and fill orders for such work
in the line as may be desired We cordially
recommend the ladies', and those who wish
10 invest in first class invention, to cali
and see for themselves.

Mrs. WlLHELM's LEcTURE.-Thc Gazette
is mistaken in supposing that the friends
OF tie Orphans or those Of the Lecturer
were at all solicitcus that the might editor"
or any other man should attend, unless he
chose. or should hold any given opinion
Of her insplrational claims" said "opinion"
being Of no moment whatever. That was
not the point. But it would seem that .
pubiic journal-and such pattern of NOR
ality and virtue too-shoud at least be as
ready to aid in informing the public Of a
lecture to be given for the benefit of the
Soldiers Orphans, as it is t, herald the
coming ofa circus, minstrel band, prestidg-
itation, or show, or to puff the theatre per-
formances.
Not their absenc or unhelief was object
ed to, or cared for, but their studied silence
and attempt thereby to diminish the attend
ance 1T the lccture-and necessarily to
reduce the proceeds for the Orphan benefit
-Jecause the lecturer was not Reverend"
and though advocating the leading princi
pies Of christianity, and working for the
good Of humanity, might not repeat exactly
the same old story.
