Health of Des Moines
The Newspapers of the State speak of the improved physical appearance of the home-arrived members of the Legislature. The improved condition of the members is all owing to their residence during the Winter in the healthiest City in the State. When a man takes on a strong desire to die, he should ignore Des Moines altogether; but if, on the other hand, he desires to preserve the freshness and vigor of health, the Capital of the State offers to him superior inducements.

Cass County Gazette
We were pleased yesterday to have a call from our old-time acquaintance, J. C. BROWN, Editor and proprietor of the Cass County Gazette. It is due to Mr. B. to state that the Gazette, under his management, is one of the most ably conducted papers in Western Iowa. It is thoroughly loyal; and as a county organ, devoted to local interests, it stands deservedly high.

Capt. R. D. Adams
“DEATH OF CAPT. ADAMS, OF PITTSBURGH. – The particulars of the death of our fellow citizen Capt. Adams reached us to-day. He received three musket balls in his thigh, and on his falling, cheered his men on. Three of his men were about picking him up to carry him to the rear, when a heavy discharge of musketry killed every one of them. Captain Adams was afterwards carried to the rear, and suffered amputation. He died in about fifteen minutes afterwards.”

From Cairo
“The bombardment of Fort Wright is still going on, and troops are being sent down as fast as possible. There was fighting yesterday in the vicinity of Pittsburgh Landing, be we know nothing about the result.
“We saw last evening a steamboat load of Secesh prisoners from Island No. 10, on their way to Madison, Wisconsin. Such a miserable, shabby set of human beings I never saw before! No such looking people ever before took up a residence in the free North!”
