A Voice from Iowa.

We have heard through Mr.. A. B. Will.
kinson, from our old friend and subscriber,
Mr.. Sam'l Miller, of Dallas county, Iowa.
Dallas is one Of the frontier counties, on the
roed to Council Bluffs. Only one county
beyond Dallas is settled at present. Mr.
Miller writes that the crops n that region
are excellent this season, and prices good
for that section. Potatoes bring 81 SO per
bushel, and crop good. Corn 3O@35c, de-.
liverable in the field. Flour is selling at
81 SO per hundred, or abou, 80 per barrel.
From one item in friend Miler's letter,
we perceive civilization has reached his
point. He says man in his neighborhood
deliberately cut the throat OF his vile, and
so badly cut the arm of another woman as
to render amputation necessary, and it is
very probable she will not survive. The
man or monster was arrested and now lies
in Jail. We hope friend Miller will write
to US soon. His last letter was accidentally
mislaid till too late for use in our col
umns. He is one of the old residents oil
this part of the country, and knows almost
every inch of "the Pocket" of Indiana
We like to receive friendly letters from folk.
Of this kind, when they take up their homes
at distant points, especially when their let
tiers convey 80 much practical Information
as Mr.. Miller's always do.

ALL INDIANA BANKS Nor REJEcrED.-A
feeling seems 10 be prevailing to some ex.
tent, in our city, that the notes of all Indi.
ana Banks are worthless. This is a mistake.
The Bank of COnnersville, Indiana, the
State Stock Bank of Peru, and the Elkharl
County Bank. are, we believe, the only
banks Of that State broken. Their notes
are rejected in this city and verywhere else,
but the notes of other Free Banks in Indi.
ana are received by our shrewdest bankers
and brokers, as usual. Some of The brokers
reject the notes OF all Indiana Stock Banks,
and advise their friends to do likewise,
though we see no need for a sacrifice of the
aforesaid notes at heavy discount by those
who happen to have them. There is no
combination among our bankers and brokers
on the subject. Some reject, while others
receive the notes we speak Of as usual.

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they DO, fires leave them
other resources. II is especially valuable TO la
boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means--who, perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.
These should never neglect to insure;a fire which
homeless, and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle of life and years of Toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever done.-
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
much property, still the expense is trifing, and by
investing few dollars he is SAFE If he is over
taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes, he
receives recompense in cash capital equal 10
his loss, and may soon restore what has been de-
stroyed. ~. .'.'i ... .u-

NEUTRAL FLAGs.-The London Ship
ping Gazette of the 3Oth ult. states that the
announcement had been made by the Rus
sian government that all vessels navigating
the Black Sea under neutral flags were to be
searched, for the purpose of ascertainine
that they were not carrying articles which
were contraband Of war, for the assistance
of the enemy; and if SO, they would be i'm
mediately seized and confscated, without
regard to flag.
