Thus ends the draft under the last call. The
perfectly fair manner in which it has been conducted by Capt. Rutledge and his
excellent corps of assistants, has given the utmost satisfaction to all, and not
a word of complaint has been uttered by those whose fortune it has been to be
drafted.
We are requested to state that drafted men must report at the
Provost Marshal's office as soon as possible after notification, and come
prepared to go forward at once to the general rendezvous at Davenport.- No
furloughs can be issued by Capt. Rutledge, but those drafted will be forwarded
at once. Those interested will please bear this fact in mind.
-----
Lieut. G.C. Remey, U.S.N., son of Major W.B. Remey, of this
city, who for the past fourteen months has been in prison in Columbia, S.C., has
been released and recently arrived at New York. He will be in this city a few
days and remain a while before again entering upon active duty.
CONTRABANDS- Yesterday some twenty or thirty contrabands, women and children, arrived here from St. Louis on the packet Muscatine. They have come here to seek employment, and having been tu???ed to labor, will render good service at moderate remuneration. They were recently in bondage near Lexington, Missouri. This is the first installment of the celebrated four thousand that nearly drove ????? of this city crazy a year or two ago.
They are shipping potatoes from Muscatine to St. Louis. Flat-boats are loaded and then float with the stream to their destination, occupying about fifteen days in transit. A cargo of 4500 bushels are now on their way to that city.
Last Thursday evening on the cars from Clinton to Cedar Rapids, the vote stood for Lincoln 60; for McClellan 24.
A vote taken on the train to this city from Chicago Monday evening resulted thus: Lincoln 78; McClellan 19.
ARMS- The Fourth Ward Company State Militia have received their arms, and now when called on will be ready for service. We believe the weapon sent them is the Enfield rifle.
NEW PATENTS- Abraham Dodder, of Washington, Iowa, has just received a patent for "Weather Strips" and B.W. McClure of Wyoming, Iowa, for a "Horse Collar Block."
For a number of years past Mr. E. E. Fayerweather has been clerk and to a large extent manager of the general business of the Hawk-Eye office. A more faithful employee never labored in this office, and a more efficient and capable one it will be hard to find anywhere. He goes to New Orleans in the service of the Government in the Quartermaster's Department. That he will be as faithful and as uniformly correct in the public service as he has been with us we have not a doubt. In this new and perhaps trying position he will have the kindest wishes not only of all connected with this office, but of the public at large who have done business in the counting room of the Hawk-Eye office during the last three or four years.
NATIONAL THANKSGIVING- The last Thursday in November has been set apart by the President as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Doubtless the Executives of the various loyal States will fix upon the same day to be observed in a like manner, in order that the usual annual thanksgiving of each commonwealth may occur at the same time with that of the union at large.
[Transcriber note: I believe the following article is talking about Lowell located in Butler Co., Iowa]
THE LOWELL OUTRAGE.- We learn by the Gate City that two of the neighbors of Mr. Fulsom, whose assassination was attempted a few nights since, near Lowell, have been arrested on suspicion of being guilty of the crime. Upon investigating the facts it seems reasonable to conclude the guilty parties were well acquainted with Mr. Fulsom and his premises. The door was fastened with a bolt above the latch which was withdrawn by the removal of a pane of glass. The horses stolen were found within five miles of Fulsom's house turned loose. The wounded man thinks he can identify in one of the arrested men, the chief assassin. He had formerly been in his employ, out of which had grown some difficulty and when the would be murderers entered the house one of them remarked he "had come to settled with him." These circumstances added to the evident familiarity of the parties with Mr. F's. premises and the fact that the horses were not taken, would seem to indicate the more probable conclusion that guerillas did not commit the deed. The villains had their faces veiled. What disposition has been made with the suspected parties we have been unable to learn.
NOT DEAD- Wm. Alexander writes us from West Point that Fulsom, who was shot in his own house, near Lowell last week, is not dead, as has been reported, but alive and in a fair way to recover.- His assailants have not yet been discovered, and probably will not be soon. They doubtless belong to some of the roving bands of Missouri cut-throats that hover along the border and occasionally trespass upon Iowa soil. They will receive their deserts.
MARRIED.
Oct. 13th, at the residence of the brides Father by Rev. D.T.
Campbell, Mr. JOSEPH CORNELIUS to Miss MARGARET M. SERVISS, both of Henry Co.,
Iowa.
On the 18th of Oct., 1864, by Rev. J.H. Shields, Rev. I.N.
BIDDLE, of Uniontown, Fayette Co., Pa., to Miss LOTTIE, daughter of Elder Jas.
Russell of West Grove, Davis County, Iowa.
DIED.
In this city, on the 20th inst., WILLIAM EMORY, son of
William E. and J.C. Sherfey, aged five years.
Fairfield Ledger and Nebraska City papers please copy.
At his residence in New London Township, Henry Co, Iowa,
Oct. 4th, Mr. HEZEKIAH EKE, in his 38th [or 58th?] year.
He emigrated to Iowa in the spring of 1835 and was one of the
first settlers on the head of Flint. He was a good christian neighbor and a kind
husband and father, a devoted friend to his country and an out-spoken Union man,
especially when pleading with God for his country and our brave soldiers.
