DeariSir-— Yours of Oct. 2Gth is just
received.1 tileat. F. Reed and Victor
started for Iowa from Memphis on the
12th, £nd I presume they are at the
Bluff* by tirfs time. They are on recruit
ing service for the Battery, and I hope
you iffll do something for the Battery in
Old Pottawattamie. Vkv will tell you
all the news, so there is little use of my
writing
We left our camp on the 7th, back of
Vicksburg. arrived at Memphis the 12th.
We started to join our corps at Chatta
nooga, but were stopped here to guard
the railroad from Memphis to Corinth.—
Wo are c-omfortably situated At La
Orange, Tenn., and I hope they will let
us stay here during tha winter, as it is a
VCTT pleasant place. Everything is quiet
in this vicinity now. Small squads of
rebel cavalry is all that we can hear of
near us. A squad of 50 ct&me within four
miles of u* last night. I understand
thev left verv sudden.
I«bave seen the papers containing the
particulars of the election. Old Potta
wattamie has done nobly—as w%ll as the
state—and all the other States. If we
could only whip the rebs South easy
as you hav«j done it North, it would be
4 buUy thing. You all have done well
at Ux» ballot box, tarn VOB must try and
help us. OnJv send us i»en to fill up oftr
old regiments and we will sonqu«r the
Southern Confederacy in six months.
Men we want, and men we must have
Wa are short of men, and without them
we will he another three years fighting.
S» dio all you can for us by filling up the
old regiments and batter res.
My health is firs^ rate. The health of
tho troops is goad, and in good spirits.
Write to me as often as it is conven

I am sorry to s»j 'hat Mr. Holtzclaw's
means w«e not adequate to his wants:
but, notwithstanding this melancholly
fact, I am glad to inform his friends that
he received all the kindness and attev
ttai during his illness that he could have
possibly received from his most intimate
friends. All who administered to his
wants were entire strangers to him, ex
e«pi the doctor and myself. Among
those who attended him, none were so
kind, so attentive and self sacrificing as
Mr. and Mrs. Minor, »t whose boarding
kotue he stopped. When he came to
them he frankly told them his condition
and the limited extent of hi# means.—
They were very scarce of rooms, being
crowded with boarders, but they took
him in and vacated their own rtom, and
gave up their bed to him, and slept on
the floor until his death.
Mrs. Minor watehed over him day and
night with all the tenderness of a moth
er or the affection of a sister such dis
interested kindness and attention to an
unfortunate atranger, is werthy of our
highest praise and admiration. I visited
frequently by day and watched over him
by night, and did alien my power to al
leviate his Buffering by nursing him and
cheering his drooping spirits. 1 was with
him all night before he died, but as he
was rather delirious he said nothing
about his relatives or basiness.
We buried him in the Citv Cemetery
which overlooks Denver it is located
near the baae of the Rocky Mountains,
whose towering, snow-crested peaks look
down from their lofty heights in sad and
solemn grandeur upon his grave. The
soil that wraps his mortal remains may
never be trod by his relatives or friends,
nor moistened by their friendly tears of
grief.
You will please give this letter a place
in your columns, and in so doing you
will confer a favor on Mr. Hoitsclaw's
friends and relatives, and will much ob
lige your humble servant,

Mr. Berk#—Dear Sir:—
I am under the pauaftii naoafslty of
announcing to you, and the eitiseas of
Council Bluffs, the death of Mr. Joseph
Holtjclaw, which gad event occurred on
the morning of the 19th asst., a few min
nt«a-p«|fc 7-o'ekck. Mr. HeltxeUiw ar
rived in this city about three weeks ago
in a very had state of health, having
taken sick at Juleafeurg. two hundred
miles east of Denver. Be immediately
procured the medical Aid abd attention
of Dr. McClelland, who pronounoed his
disease typhoid fever in its most violent
and malignant form but by his prompt
and kind attention and skilful manage
ment he soon toused him to his feet again,
but he, very imprudently, and in opposi"
tion to the Doctor's most earnest remon
strance, persisted in leaving his roots
too soon, he took a violent cold and re
lapsed, and the disease turned into the
pneumonia and soon completed the work
of death. Notwithstanding the hope
lessness of his case, after bis relapse, the
doctor again made a great effort to save
him, and never relaxed bis efforts until
death itself defied all his skill and alien
tion.

THK: BANQUET.
Banquet on the occasion *11- the
inauguration of the Union Pacific R. R.,
was something'not soon to be forgotten.
One hundred and fifty gentlemen assem
bled by invitation at the Herndon House
in Omaha, and justice to mine host of
the Herndon, requires to say that on his
part nothing was left undone that oould
add to the pleasure of the occasion. To
nj it was a good, lively time ii is only
necessary to say TSAIJI was there. True,
it was not a train freighted with the rich
trtsiores of the golden States west of us
but a Train freighted with the richest
gems of wit, for which George Francis
Train is proverbial, and aa A B»tter of
course ha was the lion.
There was one ineiden connected with
the Banquet occasion that we cannot pass
by unnotioed. It was Mr. Train's speech

LIBBY PRIMW,
Whtt an intense feeling of honor does
the thought of this h«U hole of Southern
barbarity fill the inmost soul of ail not
dead to feelings of humanity The free
born citirene of the North, are &st los
ing every feeling of pity, or respect, for
those worse than barbarian monsters of
theffkmih, who allow and escettrage a
treatment to human beings, to which no
parallel can be found sinoe the time of
the martyrs. The time once Was, even
in the midst of the rebellion, when we
thought and spoke of them as our mis
guided brethren of the South but that
time hoi past. Their barbarous treatment
of pi isoners,-—their total disregard of
their word of honor,—their wholesale
1
system of lying, by which they fan the
latent fires of demociacism in the breasts
of the ooi people,—their inhuman
treatmen indiscriminate slaughter
of those Luiontg Union sentiments at the
.South, has vanished every vestageof re
aper or good- will, and given place to a
deep and inextinguishable feeling of
hatred. We see this in the seowling
dances, the deep drawn breath, the
clutched fist ud dose set teeth of onr
citizens, when it is spoken of. Why
would not this be a good time to crush
these demons in their stronghold*?—
That grand humbug and eyesore of the
nation, the Army of the Potomac, after
another year's fruitless campaign, has
made another successful retreat, and se
cured the safety of Washington—and
Richmond, and gone into comfortable
winter quarters, where it is to be hoped
they will stay and not keep the public
mind in suspense, thinking they are go
ing to do something. We say now is the
time foi the people to rise ifi their might
and any Richmond »K*ll be ours." Let
the President issue A proclamation
that he waits men enough to take Rich
ma nd and release our suffering, dying
brothers—let him guarantee that he
wants men for that purpose alone, and
when that is accomplished that they are
at liberty—let him guarantee that they1
SHALL
be allowed the privilege of show
ing those incarnate fiends that the free
men of the North will not be trampled
on with impunity—let him guarantee
that the troops so raised are for the
avowed purpose of acheiviKg that object
which the Potomac army has so effectu
ally failed to accomplish and we—we
the people—will guaranty him an up­
that will astonish the world. Let
him, the Administration, furnish us
arms, ammunition and a leader that does
not know how to accomplish a success
ful retreat," and wo will mise a force
large enough to go down and bring Rich
mond up to Washington, tie the hands
of all of Lee's army, and thus gjve the
grand army of the Go-and-come-back
a fair chance to whip them once.
At the last elections the North polled
2,(KX),000 of votes. One half of these are
able-bodied soldiers, and sit least one
third would be willing, with these guar
anties, to make a three months campaign:
which would be long enough to accom
plish the desired end.
Let the press, the lever that moves
the world, take this thing in hand—let
the wishes of the people be known—urge
it upon the Administration, and my word
for it, it will be accomplished. I«t it be
styled the Army for Richmond." *nd

The sick and wounded men are said to
be thankful even for an old pamphlet:
and we are told that 18,000 volumes of
good reading books might be used in the
hospitals of Nashville and Louisville
alone, to most excellent advantage. Pa
pers also, we cJledfor, and people urged
to send them in. The Christian Commis
sion, both in th'e East and the West,
are making every appeal, and using every
exertioh to move the people in this mat
ter. Th^y say, do what you do quickly.
No want is greater in our hospitals. Msn
are suffering and dying for what you have
it in your power to give. Som? say they
would go deranged if they did not have
good books and papers to fill up the wea
risome hours of oonvalesceiH-e. Shall
not this noble utrtif—jfodr wall of fire,
and rampart of steel, to defend you from
danger, to destroy rebellion, and estab
lish Government and order—shall they
not be supplied at once There is no
time to be lost."
Friends, shall not this appeal be heed
ed Will not the friends of the soldifers
every whsire bestir themselves ill this mat
terr I understand that a collection was
taken up in one of the shurches of th s
city on thanksgiving day, to purchase
religious books for this object, and that
people are invited to send books, maga
tines, 4c., to tl» office ef Baldwin 4
Dodge, where a box will packed and for.
wfcrded. This is a good move and it is
to be hoped the call will be generously
responded to. Bat this is not enough.—
Newspapers of a religious and moral char
acter, may be forwarded weekly by mail,
and it would be but a small matter for
eaeh person who takes from one to a halt
a score of papers, after reading them
selves to put them in wrappers and fend
to some one of the hospitals, or to some
friend in camp. This would furnish thorn
with late new*, and a good deal of it.—
A pound, and over, of pflpers can go by
mail for a dime, and what loyal man or
woman among us who is not willing to
furnish our soldiers an intellectual weekly
treat at so small a oo*l
Will not the Sanitary Commission take
jhis matter into consideration, and ap
point suitable persons to see that papers
are collected and mailed Or cannot a
society be formed for this purpose The
money for wrappers and postage could,
no doubt, be easily raised, and there are
those who would cheerfuilp undertake
the work.
