lnterestius 10 FarmtrI

We received the following note from
Gen. DoDcE, by last mail. As will be
seen, it is note from Mr.. Burke to our
Delegate in Congress, requesting infarma-
tion Of him, as to agricultural societies &c.,
in Iowa. The object in forwarding it, to
the Gazette, we suppose, was to have the
same published, in order that all those in
terested in the agricultural prosperity Of
Iowa, might furnish Mr.. Dodge with the
correct information to be communicated by
him to Mr.. Burke. Will not the farmers
of Iowa take the trouble to furnish Mr..
Dodge the necessary information immedi-
ately, by sending the facts in a communca-
ton addressed Mr.. d. at Washington. It
is important that we should be properly rep
resented in this matter, as the facts, wheth-
er few or many, favorable or unfavorable,
will become a matter Of record. Do not
fail, gentlemen farmers, to send on the in
formation. Will not our farmers commu-
nicate to the Gazette? Our columns shall
be open, at all times, to communications
on agricultural subjects. Much informa-
ton might be circulated in this manner:
PATENT OrrlcE, April II, 1916.
Sin: Will you have the kindness to pro-
cure for me, from your district, the names
Of the various Agricultural Societies or
Farmers Clubs, with the names and post
office address of the presidents and secre-
taries Of the same. should be glad to re-
ceive this information at as early date as
practicable, that may have suitable circu-
lars addressed to them, for the purpose Of
obtaining such information as may be USE
full, in respect to the agricultural industry
Of our country.
In any case where no such society ex-
lists, please TO mention the address Of sew
eral gentlemen who might probably be will
ling to furnish such information as to their
immediate vicinity.
Ihave the honor to be, a..

ksftI1 Ncws--lrfival Of the Great Western
isS SEVEN DAYS LATER.

From the steamer St. Croix, arrived here
yesterday morning, we received a slip from
The Mo. Republican Office, containing seven
days later news from Europe.
This news is not very important. The
British ministry have united the Ireland
Ceersion bill, and the Corn Law bill tceeth-
g, thinking to carry the former by the pop
slIssity Of the latter. This move, it is said,
will defeat the success Of both, break up
The present cabinet, and by consequence,
bring on war with the United Stares.
However, the war spirit had somewhat
subsided, since the news Of the lOth Of
March from this country.
France: The Journal des Debats has
come out in favor of Free Trade. This
being the Government organ, its coarse
plainly shadows forth the future policy cf
France. But should the Corn Law move
tumble through, in England, it will e, BY
The board in France; since Louis Ehil-
hppe Is merely weather-cock to tell which
way the wind blows in England. There
has been another battle in North Africa
between the Arabs and the French. in
which the former were routed, some 200
being killed. A very small loss on the
French side.
There is nothing further Of importance.

from Mexico. Paroles has determined
that he will not declare war against the U.
States, but has referred that subject to the
Mexican Congress. In this he has acted
wisely, since in this manner, he will shift
the responsibility. The Congress will not
take the responsibility. a.a
Great fears are entertained Of Santa An

s'st him; and to prepare the minds Of the
people, the court before which Santa
Annals charges were pending, previous to

Of the proceedings in volume Of 100
pages, intending by this to excite the peo-
pie against him. Orders have been given
to certain mail officers Of Jalapa and Vera
Cruz, to seize any extraordinary courier
coming from those places to the capital, and
desain the same at Puebla. Drivers are
enjoined to secrecy. Two presses advo.

emigration to Oregon and California was
never greater than at present. The follow
ing is from the Missouri Republican Of the
9th.
ST.. Jos EpH, April 29th, 1876.
/ wrote to you on the 26lb inst, but as
had no opportunity OF sending my letter
by boat, as directed, have il still with
me, and will send it with this.
Since that date thirty wagons, will, up
wards ofone hundred and eighty enigrants,
including women and children. have arri-
we'd, and crossed the river at this place.
Twenty-Five wagons are still on the Mis-
souri, side. having been prevented from
crossing over by the very rapid rise in the
river. 1t commenced rising on the night
Of the 9th, and up to this date has risen
about eight feet. The current is SO rapid
that it is difficult for common ferry boat
to stem thence the delay. Those per-
sons who have already passed the river
have certainly formed a camp about TWEEN
ty-five miles distant and will not start
from that point, upon their journey, until
the 4th or fifth Of May; and, in the mean
time, they will await the arrival otothers,
elect their officers, SC. II seems 10 be the
understanding, that all the emigrants who
have passed on to the counties above, Holt
and A,chison) will concentrate near the
same place, though at different times, as
there doubtless will be three or four COM
panies.

at Iowa Point (sixty miles above) instead

they encamp purpose to visit them, and

p. S.-The number Of wagons on both
sides of the river amounts to fifty five
The number Of cmigrants each wagon
averaging six, which is moderate amounts
to about three hundred and thirty. C.
BLOODY sFrcHr.-Two bands ofthe Mi
ami Indians have recently had fight, in
which knives and rifles were the weapons
for the occasion. Some twelve or fifteen
were killed. The fight arose from an old
grudge between the parties, growing out
Of some previous murder. We suppose il
was an sshonorable rencounter."
FINALE.-The President has put hi,
signature TO the Joint Resolution for the
Notice. Query will now be on tip-toe to
ascertain whether he will give the notice
and when. He ought to give it immediate
ly-we believe he will.

Polind-Awful Massacre!

As soon az the insurrection broke ont in
Poland, the Austrian authorities in the
Grand Duchy Of Poieu, offered FIVE dollars
for the head of every Polish noble,nan
which should be brought in, dead or alive.
In two days after this offer, no less than
four hundred were butchered and their
heads brought to the counters ofthe officers
Of State, for which the money was paid
as for articles Of traffic. Shame on the
cruelties exercised by such contemplate
tyrants! In Siedice, sPotozki, a chief lead
er, has been hanged. Kocishenski and
Zarski, at Warsaw, Dobrytsh and Rup-
precht have been condemned to exile and
hard labor in.Siberia; Mireski and Deskur
were made to pass under the gallows, and
Condemned to hard labor in Siberia
Thus another Polish revolution may be
considered crushed! Wherever Liberty
attempts to rise, it is crushed by the hand
Of Ty ranny il possible.
