, above the town. On the 11th we pressed close in, and shelled the town from every direction. One of Ord's brigades (Lauman's) got too close, and was very roughly handled and driven back in disorder. General Ord accused the commander (General Lauman) of having disregarded his orders, and attributed to him personally the disaster and heavy loss of men. He requested his relief, which I granted, and General Lauman went to the rear, and never regained his division. He died after the war, in Iowa, much respected, as before that time he had been universally esteemed a most gallant and excellent officer. The weather was fearfully hot, but we continued to press the siege day and night, using our artillery pretty freely; and on the morning of July 17th the place was found evacuated. General Steele's division was sent in pursuit as far as Brandon (fourteen miles）, but General Johnston had carried his army safely off, and pursuit in that hot weather would have been fatal to my command.

r took the book, looked at the inscription, and, turning to his fellows, said: Boys, that's so; that's Uncle Billy's writing, for I have seen it often before. He at once commanded the party to stop pillaging, and left a man in charge of the house, to protect her until the regular provost-guard should be established. I then asked her if the regular guard or sentinel had been as good to her. She assured me that he was a very nice young man; that he had been telling her all about his family in Iowa; and that at that very instant of time he was in another room minding her baby. Now, this lady had good sense and tact, and had thus turned aside a party who, in five minutes more, would have rifled her premises of all that was good to eat or wear. I made her a long social visit, and, before leaving Columbia, gave her a half-tierce of rice and about one hundred pounds of ham from our own mess-stores. In like manner, that same evening I found in Mrs. Simons another acquaintance — the wife

egotiators, at the first interview, that their master was prepared to treat with them not merely for the Isle of New Orleans, but for the whole vast province which bore the name of Louisiana; whose boundaries, then unsettled, have since been carried on the North to the British line, on the West to the Pacific Ocean; a territory half as big as Europe, transferred by a stroke of the pen. Fifty-eight years have elapsed since the acquisition was made. The States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and Kansas, the territories of Nebraska, Dacotah, Jefferson, and part of Colorado, have been established within its limits, on this side of the Rocky Mountains; the State of Oregon and the territory of Washington on their western slope; while a tide of population is steadily pouring into the region, destined in addition to the natural increase, before the close of the century, to double the number of the States and Territories. For the entire region west of the Alleghanies and ea

Culloch fell on the seventh, and pressed forward the centre on the eighth. Col. and Acting Brig.-Gen. Carr is also wounded in the arm, and was under the continuous fire of the enemy, during the two hardest days of the struggle. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Missouri, may proudly share the honors of the victory, which their gallant heroes won over the combined forces of Van Dorn, Price and McCulloch, at Pea Ridge, in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. I have the honor to be, General, Yo The horse which was wounded yesterday is the same that he rode at Dug Spring, and now carries fourteen balls received on that occasion. Where all the troops did well, it is difficult to particularize instances of special regimental valor. The Iowa infantry came from the field covered with blood and glory, and the two batteries from the same State are equally deserving of praise. The Twelfth Missouri was successful in a bayonet-charge for the capture of a battery, and the Indiana regiments,

f the sixth, upon the alarm being given, the brigade composed of the Eighth and Eighteenth regiments of Illinois infantry, the Eleventh and Thirteenth regiments of Iowa infantry, and Dresser's battery, were formed in an open field in front of their respective encampments. I received orders about eight o'clock A. M. to move three to bear the shock of battle. His division was composed as follows: First brigade, Col.

Honor to the Second Iowa.--The following despatch from Major-Gen. Halleck, is honor enough for the Iowa Second: St. Louis, February 19, 1862. Adjutant-Gen. N. B. Baker: The Second Iowa infantry proved themselves the bravest of the brave! They had the honor of leading the column which entered Fort Donelson. H. W. Halleck, Major-General An Iowa regiment has a rule that any man who utters an oath shall read a chapter in the Bible. It is said that several have got nearly through the Old Testament.--Dubuque Times.

rom their eyries, half-way in the sky, Down where Long Island Sound lifts up its calm blue eye. The empires of York and Penn were all aflame; There was no hamlet where the drum beat not, No fireside, but desperate and hot, Some son or father felt the glow of shame, And buckled on his sword and breathed his mother's name. The prairies rang — Ohio raised her hand With Illinois, to wipe away the guilt, The sword should drip in carnage to the hilt, And every roof-thatch be a beacon-brand. At each Iowa hearth stood stern a mailed man-- Young Kansas knelt in wrath, and swore with Michigan! A wall of flame blazed up the border-line; A thousand camp-fires lit the midnight sky; The white tents glistened in the trampled rye; An armed man replaced each ash and pine; The trooper rode where erst had grazed his kine; The barley-blades grew up to bayonets; A navy tore the frightened fisher's nets; A crusade swarmed across each mount and moor, Their fane to rescue by Potomac's shore; The first great h

is a good joke attached to the rebel cavalry who ran from the Colonel at Boonville. They left behind a splendid silk flag, which showed them to be the Forest cavalry. Now about one week ago our cavalry moved their camp to the rear of the army, and this same Forest cavalry came into their deserted camp. The commanding officer wrote a note to his Yankee friends, boasting that he had visited their camp, and that in a few days he would call again and perform several little things. These same Iowa and Michigan boys found him, and captured his colors, away down where he was looking as much for Gabriel as for them; and I may add, solemnly, that several of them heard the horn, and went to their final settlement. Col. Elliott, not having any wagons with him for provisions, had difficulty in getting food and forage. Found a few sheep, which were of necessity confiscated, but poor and tough; found a few hogs, the breed was so bad and the running-gears so finely developed, that they were
