The 27th Iowa Infantry.

Captain himself, who
wounded by a
but not dangerously
shell while leading his company, llo
had only reached tho Regiment on the
17th of May and went into the battle
on tho 18th. After a spirited cannon
ade of about two hours, during which
time the boys of the 27tli were lying
close to mother earth, the regiment
was ordered to march by tho left
flank to the support of a battery.
While obeying this order and march
ing on tho double quick," a shell
struck Captain Slocum on the thigh,
cutting through his coat and pants,
aud paralyzing the limb, but not break
ing the bone. He was taken off of the
field by Mr. Schermerhorn of this
place, and Lieut. Rupee took command
of the Company during the remain
der of the action. Kg other officer of
the 27th was hurt
After repulsing the rebels, our
troops brought off all their affects, and
the next day embarked on- transports
for Vicksburg, arriving there on the
28d. On the way up, John Mitchell,
a member of Capt. Slocum's Company,
from Floyd township, died of typhoid
diarrhoea, ou board the steamer Dia
dem, when off Natchez, May 22d.
Capt. Slocum's wound was improv
ing at the latest accounts, and he
could walk some by the help of a
crutch or staff, but the surgeon re
ports that it will be somo time before
he will be fully recovered.
The boys represent that Gen. Banks
was very unpopular with tho army,
but that Gen. A. J. Smith was a host
within himself when on the battlefield.
It is reported that 8. J. Purdy, of
Captain Slocum'a company was seri
ously wounded in the battle at Pleas
ant Hill. Iiis namo in the papers was
printed Prouty. He was shot in the
arm and breast and left at the field
hospital where he subsequently fell
into tho hands of the rebels. The last
news from him was that his arm would
have to bo amputated. He was but
15 years of age, and was an only sou
of Dea. S. C. Purdy of Floyd. Lieut.
boy than lie never lived adding that
ho has mado many a rebel bite the

wonnd and bo restored to bis friends.
The Cleveland Convention.
Tbis convention of factioniste, fa
natics and sore-heads was held on the
31st ult. John C. Fremont was nomi
nated for President and John Cochrane
for Vice President. The namo adopt

Horse Thieves.
Yhe Ibwa horse thicvea art doing a
argo business these dAya. Two
jborses Were stolen in the north part
«of this county a few uigtit* ago, of
which tho owner could obtain no
trace. Tha Now Hampton Courier
says two vahiabl* horses were lately
alulae from Fredei icksburg, Chicka
saw county. The Clayton County
Journal says that a rascal named Reu
ben Hoyer was arrested the other day"
at Elkader and taken to Dubuque for
trial, ne had stolen a horse at New
Vienna in January last and was now
in the same business. On tho day be
fore bis arrest a Mr. Thompson met
him on the road between Elkader and
McGregor, and having his suspicion#
excited instituted a search for secreted
horses, when five borscs and two
mules, all believed to have been ato
len, were discovered. The animals
are now in the possession of Mr. Fisher
of Elkader. The Sidney Union says
that ten horaes havo lately been sto

The Hamilton Freeman of Juttfe 4th,
says that on Friday night, May $ttb,
six horses were stolen from the north
western comer of Story county, near
the line of Hamilton county. Tbey
also took three sets of double harness.
When discovered pursuit was mado

in all directions handbills sent north,
cast and west, and rigid search insti

On Sunday afternoon Mr. Haami of
Wright county came to Webster City
with the information that the thieves
had been at the house of a Mr. McCor
mick on the White Fox aomesix miles
north of Wall Lake, and that while
there the Sheriff of Wright county, with
a posse, had attempted to arrest them,
and had been beaten off with the loss
of two men—one of whom, Mr. Don*
elson, was ahot through the right
breast and mortally wounded and
Mr. J. Melrose, shot in the neck the
ball has since been extracted, and he
is doing well. The thieves, three in
nnmber, were armed with shot guns
and revolvers, and when tho posse
camo to Mr. McCormick's bouse and
statioued themselves, and when the
Sheriff had opened tho door, thay
broke through the windows and com
menced firing upon them until thoy
had caused them to fall back," when
they skedaddled, taking with them the
stolen horses and a ride belonging to
Mr. Donaldson, who was lying there
wounded. At last accounts the
thieves had not been caught.
There is a thorough organization of
these thicvea and counterfeiters
throughout this region of country.
The horses stolen in Minnesota aud
northern Iowa are taken to eoatiiern
Iowa and Missouri, or perhaps to
Pike's Peak and Idaho, for sale and
tho horses stolen in Missouri and south

Wisconsin, costing $6,000, and docs

.JN Supreme Judgeship.
The North has for years steadily pre
sented her claims for a representation
on the Supreme Bench, presenting as
able jurists and pure men as can be
fount! in the State, and her claims
have been as Bteadily tabooed, and to
day of the four Supreme Judges
all
are sonth of the central line. There
has been a persintent design in this
and it is a grievance which will not
always bo submitted to. There is a
point beyond which the people will
not submit to be led, and the time is
approaching when they will ccaso to
participate in these conventions and
refuse obedience to their action. In
deed, we see no use or sense in the
North Bending delegates toDes Moines
while sho is persistently ostracised
and her claims to a fair representation
ignwed.
We do not share in that blind zeal
to party which would bind us to en
dorse an injustice anywhere, and will
not be instrumental in inducing the
people to cringe under the political
lash which is held over them by a sel
fish and arrogant clique which has its
centre at the State capital. We pre
fer harmony, union, concert and sure
and certain triumph to disorder, sec
tional strifes and disaster, aud shall be
happily disappointed if tbe next State
Convention shall eschew the practices
which have governed that body in
former times.—JVeic
