Hawk-Eye Riflemen

Last Tuesday a company of 84 men, recruited in this section by Capt. W. Getchell, formerly of the Third Iowa, went into Dubuque to await further orders. Twenty-one more men are to follow in a few days. This company expected to go into the 17th Regiment, but that regiment having broke camp and left for Tennessee, it is uncertain where this company will go.
