NoTEs OF THE Iowa SHORE.
following notes of the Iowa shore by
John King, Esq. Of Dubuque. we ex-
tract from the Prairie Farmer:
i write whilst the Brazil is running
ten knots TO the hour. Beautiful farms
are interposed along the river on the
Iowa side, and the passengers cannot
but gaze upon the splendor and mag
nificence Of the scene. You behold
glossy cattle, luxuria,ing upon thou
sand hills, whose SUBMITS are covered
with tall waving grass, the blades Of
which are scarcely discolored by the
frost as yet. With what an extrava-
CANT hand has nature lavished her beau
ties in Iowa! As a stranger rides upon
the steamboat on the bosom of this ma
iestic river, he stands upon the hurri-
cane-deck, viewing with delight the
picturesque scenery, at almost every
point-Oh, he longs for the power to
transfer the scene to canvass. Crea.
ton seems dotted over with farms; the
fencing is generally good-good-nea.
barns-and young orchards, present
themselves. Capt. Smith is himself a
farmer-he takes great pleasure in
pointing out the handsome and advan-
tageous locations to the emigrant and
stranger

The Mechanic.

The following noble and striking
description Of mechanic is from the
play called the Carpenter of Rouen.'
They. sir, are Gods noblemen
Wha! have mechanics not done? Have
they not opened the chambers Of the
mighty deep and extracted its treas
ures, and made the raging pillows their
highway. on which they ride as on a
tame steed! Are not the elements Of
fire and water chained to the crank.
and at the mechanics bidding compell-
ed to torn ii! The forked lightning is
their play,hing. and they ride triumph.
antly on the wings Of the mighty winds.
To the wise they are flood gates of
knowledge. and the kings and queens.
are decorated with their hahdy-works.
He who made the Universe was the
first mechanic.

From the albany Cultirator.
Letter from IoUn.

Messrs Edtors--ihe farmers inhabiting
Northern Iowa." have harvested heavy
crop Of wheat, free from either smut or
rust In the southern portion Of the Ter.
ritory, however, the wheat was mostly win
ter killed. Notwithstanding the severe
drouth through June and July, the August
rains will produce good crops Of corn, pota.
tees, &c; hemp will not, however, be SO
good.
From recent observations, I am satisfied,
that there is no region OF country in the
United States, better suited TO the raising
of sheep than Iowa In fact, we have a
great country; one Of the nobest rivers in
the world wash its eastern border for $50
miles; the Missouri river on the south, the
St Peters on the north, and numerous trib-
utaries intersect the country, which furn-
ish water power in great abundance There
are some beautiful cascades in the interior.
We have rich soil, salubrious climate,
springs, and the earth contains
her endless stores of minerals.
Wild plums, apples and cherries, arc
large and abundant, and the fruit of the
oak seldom fails. And as the doctors say.
it is 'distressngly healthy"
Send us on some of your. enterprising
men, however poor they may be in regard
to dollars and cents, provided al,coys, they
have capital in the shape OF industry and
perseverance,. A man who cannot support
! family in Iowa, should be expelled from
either hemisphere or translated to the
moon. "a

Rather agitated than surprised seem

day, as she arranged her brushes upor
the shelf of her easel, her handsome
neighbor commenced, in the most flu.
ent Italian he could command, to invite
her to his wedding. Very much sur.
prised was Mcdonald when she inter.
ruped him in English, and begged
him to use his native tongue, as mad
anne, her attendant, would not then un.
derstand him. He went on delightedly
in his own honest language, and ex-
| planned to her his imaginative admira-
ton, though he felt computations,
somewhat, that so unreal sentiment
should bring the blood into her cheek.
She thanked him--drew the cloth from
the upper part Of her own picture, and
showed him an admirable portrait Of
his handsome features. substituted for
the masculine head Of Judith in the
original from which she copied-and
promised to be at his wedding, and 10
listen sharply for her murmered name
in his vow at the altar. He CHANGED
to wear at the momcn. ring of red
comedian. and he agreed with her that
she should stand where he could see
the BRIDES finger that she should put
on this, and for ever after wear it, as
token Of having received his spiritual
vows of devotion.
The day came, and the splendid e.
quipage Of the countess dashed into the
square of Santa Maria. with yelled
bride and a cold bridegroom, and de-
posted them at the steps of the church.
And they we're followed by other COR
onet,ed equipages. and gaily dressed
people dismounled from each--the
mother and sisters Of the bridegroom,
gaily dressed, among them. but look
ing pale with ;ncerlilude and dread.
The yelled bride was small, but she
moved gracefully up the aisle, and me.
her future husband at the altar with a
low courtesy, and made a sign to the
priest to proceed with the ceremony.
Mcdonald was colorless, but firm. and
indeed showed little interest, except
by an anxious look now and then a.
mong the crowd of spectators al the
sides of the altar. He pronounced
with steady voice, but when the ring
was to be put or, he looked around
for an instant, and then suddenly, and
to the great scandal of The church,
clasped his bride with a passionate
ejaculation TO his bosom. The cor
aelian ring was on her .fnger-and

The Result.

PHILADELPHIA, Saturday Evening. Oct. Eth.
Although we may consider ourselves fairly beaten
in Pennsylvania, must be conceded by our friends
abroad that 6 have done nobly. The Loco Foco pic
toyvis almost tantamount to deteat-they have
saved themselves by meagrc meJorites in every IN
s.ance W here we have had any kind of footing.
am assured by many persons whose political inior-
nation is extensive and whose Judgment; goes fa-
for It's convincing accuracy that IN The interior and
Western portions Of the State air. Clay will exceed
General GIarkle's vote beyond The calculations OF
our most sanguine friends 1t is certain that in the
iron and manufacturing districts we will triumph
by unprecedented msjorities. Skunk was strong
man and personally very popular There ID no man
within the whole length and breadth Of our Com
nonwealth whose personal acquaintance is SO eI-
tensve, and who is more generally beloved tor HIS
honesty as well az liberal principles. His success
was entirely attributable TO these considerations,
and not 10 the cause Of Loco Focoism His majority
cannot much exceed 1000 votea and this can easily
be overcome on the Presidential contest in the
manufacturing districts. But our friends must not
suppose thar going 10 get 6,O0O majority, IA
We have on the gubernatorial question, IN The city
and county. This vast majority, in my opinion,
will be reduced TO 1900, il not less.
TRUE BILLs.-The Grand Jury this morning
brought into Court two true bills one against John
g. Watmopgh, ex-M. c. for riot during the South
~ark disturbances and Ltsis c. Lerin, Member Of
Congress elect from the First District, for nrisae
