THE success of the Illustrated Botany is nj
longer an experiment. For although it has been in
exlstance but one year. it already has circulation
of about five thousand, a sufficient number TO
warrant its support, which cannot be said of anv
other work OF the kind. Indeed, it is the only
work of this character published in this coun-
try, which promises stability and long life. We
think tho prospect Of the second year of this
Botany are very fattering. Oae reason for tn
opinion is, the fact that it is now very popular
having large circle of friends. Another very
important reason is, the securing of an Editor for
the coming year, whose popularity as an author
in the various branches of Natural Science, is so
extensive as to leave his name familiar TO evry stu.
dent in the science in this country We are full
ly satisfied that the Botany will, under the pres
ent Editors, bear the severest criticisms. and We
intend it shall become the standard work.
In the course of its duplication, it will contain
an Introduction to the Natural system of Botany,
athorough Treatise on the interesting and impor-
tant branch of Vegetable Physiology, Notices on
Focil Botany and descriptions both acientifc and
popular, of numerous species Of plants, the pro-
perties of which, medicinal and useful, will be
fully explained. In short it is intended to present
a complete view of the latest and most i'm porant
facts discoveries, in every department of the
science.
The whole illustrated by splendid colo'ed en-
cravings, taken from Nature, full size, and I'm
ished in the highest style OF modern art
This work is designed TO be emincntly popular
in its applications, and there is enough Of that
which is stranger than fiction, about il 10 render
it no ordinary degree, interesting and instruc-
tive.
We do not intend TO coniine ourselves 10 the
botanic description of each plant but make ii a
thoroughly scientific work, III all the department
Of Botany. 1t i'll also give all the information
on the cultivation of plants and flowers. In
word, it will comprise the whole science.

Pork Packing.

We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore, and
cut all lots offered of 100 hogs and upwards, and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slaughtering: will enable
persons to drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Our prices will be as low as at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, and no extra charge will be
made at any time for advance in salt or barrels;
but our list ofprices will be rigidly adhered to.
Our stock of Barrels and Salt is large. and
amply sufficient to meet the demand We have
also added to the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for steaming out the Lard from the offal, which
is usually thrown away and is an entire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his BEN
eft.
Having experienced help and good house, we
have no hesitation in saying we are prepared to
do justice to any lots entrusted to us, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington
good point to drive to for packing selling
We will pay premium of ten dollars for the
heaviest hog delivered at our Pork House the
coming Winter.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER.

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire dress,
will in future conduct it jointly, as Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though legitmately resulting from never changing,
immutable prnciples-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthcns of government
We can conceive means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, just
and liberal. Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
Ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratc party. as long as party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar in their character and tendency, long Go
expect to stand by it, and no longer Furthermore,
consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
Giyidual members of our party-brought out in
formity to its established customs, for stations Of
honor proft-ony long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The ytalimporance to our party, especially at the
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of state government, must,
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci-
atcd, to require any thing than bare allusion
to it on this occasion. We are now on the eve of a
State and Presidential election. in both of which
the Democracy ofIowa will, besides deciding uron
various other subjects of vast importance to
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures wn,"h it has so vigor-
ously adopted and successful ed into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor country against
its enemies abroad aided anuc" ed by inglori-
Gus. illy-dIsg'Iised and traitrous at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will eyince their appreciation of the consd
eratons here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While aIoya will he lpslirr nhierfs for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER will devote it
self with what of energy its conductors can bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provement in young and fourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise TO be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens large.

Pork Packing and Strengthening
BLOOMINGTON, IOWA.

WE are now building large and convenient
w SLAUGHTER HOUSE at Bloomington,
and shall have il completed and ready to receive
hogs on the first of November. Every convent
ence and Improvement will be introduced, and
experienced help employed. We shall also have
attached thereto number of Pens for the &C
commodation of persons driving here, and hogs
once in the yard will be taken care of, fed if
necessary, slaughtered and delivered at any Pork
House, in Bloomington, free Of charge.
The ADVANTAGES Of driving hogs are obvious to
all, as it is done at much less expense, the pork
cuts to better advantage, ard with much less
risk, and will always command better price.
We pledge ourselves that all hogs driven to us
shall be as well and fairly handled as al any point
on the river, and to the entire satisfaction of all
persons driving, and without delay, as we can
kill and hang 500 per day.

By river and fountain,
BY desert and plain,
Over valley and mountain
am coming again,
To execute judgmont-an angel OF wrath,
with terror and anguish and death in my path.
In the East began,
Ger the dark jungles sweeping;
In the old Hindoostan
Was wailing and weeping.
From the plague-smitsen city, the Parisians fee,
And Gunga, corpse burthened, rolls on to the
On the fover-scented gale
Is the faint of my breath,
And Persian wives wall,
For the Angel Of Death,
In the land of the rose his shadow hath cast,
Aud riven the hopes of their hearts as he passed.
The Siberian SHOWS
In my passage crossed,
And the death-wail arose
In the regions of frost;
For the ice -monarch's mantle was there defence
,Gainst the ife-quelling touch OF the pestilence.
BY the sign of salvation
Ipaused for time;
From each Christian nation
Rose voices Of crime,
Though the srmbol was there, the substance
gone,
To the harvest Of death, passed speedily on.
Then Russia-the cold
In my pathway swept,
And in Moskwa the old
The grey-headed have wept.
Who saw without tears, their palaces fired,
For Him whose commission at Moscow expired.
And onward advancing,
Like strong man from wine,
Where the sunbeams are dancing
In the land Of the vine.

The gates Of Gehenna
Are opening for doom.

The rich with the poor to the dark house shall ride
At the last shall sail,

And my barque shall not fail
