The Daily Gazette Davenport Iowa Wednesday Morning September 13, 1862 Local Matters. Death of a Soldier.-Dr. J. D. Hummer, of Co. C, 17th regiment, died in camp near Jacinto, on the 17th ult. He enlisted as a private in the above company and was afterwards appointed Ward Master, which position he held at the time of his death. Iowa's Quotas Full.-It has been ascertained that the quota of Iowa troops, under the two recent calls, is full. There is now, therefore, nothing required, but to fill the old regiments, and this should be done as speedily as possible. Lively Appearance.-The city presented an unusually lively appearance yesterday.-People came in from all parts of the county to see their friends and acquaintances among the soldiers, and the camp was crowded with them all day. In the afternoon, music was obtained and dancing and general enjoyment ruled the hour. Since the arrival of the regiment here, matrimony has carried off three or four of the soldiers, and may do so with some more of them before the regiment gets away. They will be here at least a day or two longer. "Exemption."-From the crowds that gather around the office of our friend J. W. Thompson, Esq., every day, our citizens must not confined to this city; witness the following from the Burlington Hawkeye:-- "Go it ye Cripples."-So great was the crowd of unsound men at the office of the examining surgeon, Saturday, that they came near breaking down the building. The weight was so great and the business so lively that the plastering gave way below and the floor came near to following it. The Exempts.-Between three and four hundred persons have applied to Commissioner Thompson for exemption from military duty. The mode of operation is as follows: the application is made and signed by the applicant, and if for disability an order is given for exemption by the surgeon. If not a citizen, the following questions are asked under oath: Where were you born? When did you emigrate to the United States? Where have you resided since? Have you ever voted, or exercised the rights of citizenship? Have you ever been naturalized? Lint Societies.-By reference to the Gazette of yesterday morning, the little girls of our city will find a direct appeal made to them from the Surgeon General of the United States, that they revive their lint societies and go to work to pick lint for the poor wounded soldiers. Just to think, hundred and thousands of soldiers, the brothers and fathers of little girls like yourselves, now suffering anguish from their bleeding wounds, when a little lint might stop the flow of blood and help to relieve their pain. Go to work little girls and pick lint-it will all be needed, more than your industrious fingers can supply. Roster of the Twentieth Regiment. Colonel-Wm. McE. Dye Lieut.
