Twenty Iowa regiments were present at
the siege Of Vicksburg. 1.-THE same troops
that had sailed or waded through endless
bayous and lagoons, that had marched 800
miles in a little over a fortnight and
fought and won six battles in as many

He then sued his wife for divorce,

Judge Grey, who granted the decree,
summoned Fuller back to explain his
action, and threatened to set aside the
decree unless Fuller could show that
he had no intention Of remarrying
when he obtained the decree. This Full

the decree under advisement and even
yet may set it aside. Fuller and his
