A VOICE FROM IowA.-Quasqueton Blu
chanan county, Iowa, August 18th, 1854
Iowa is redeemed We have met the enemy,
and victory is ours The issue was fairly
presented to the People. and they have rem
dered their verdict by an emphatic vote, and
those candidates who the most boldly and
clearly planted themselves on the Pro- Slavery
platform, have been the most signally defeat
ed. Iowa is right, and has emphatically re-
buked the doughfaces who have misrepresent-
ed her in the Federal Congress,
Some Wings already evince disposition to
claim it as ''Whig" triumph. Nothing can
be more ungenerous. unjust or untrue.
There was a complete fusion, entirely honora.
Bile and harmonious, of the Anti Slavery ele-
ments of all parties, the lately dominant ode
mocracy'' not excepted, and together, under
the banner of Union for Freedom, they have
achieved a victory which could never have ac-
crued to the Wig name and organization.
Let the friends of freedom in other States,
yet to hold their elections. follow our exam
pie Ito forego and forget previous partisan
prejudlces and predictions, and work Shout
der to shoulder for the common object, and
we may hope yet to see the country rescued
from the insufferable tyranny and NAL admins
tration of the slave power, justice established,
liberty secured, and the ''Union saved. ~

GEN. CoNcHA.-New Orleans papers regard
the disappointment of Gen. CoHcha to the Of
flee of Captain General of Cuba, as the surest
means which the Spanish Government could
have adopted Of preventing the acquisition of
the island by the United States. The New
Orleans Bee says:
ss1'he Espartero and O'Donnell administra-
ton act wisely, and for their own interests, in
sending back Concha to Cuba. He is popu-
lar; not by any means inclined to cruelty
rather disposed to treat the Crcoes with for
bearanee and magnaninity rigidly honest,
and thoroughly acquainted with the inhabi-
tants of the island, their necessities and their
aspirations. Concha viii treat them well and
will extinguish their yearnings for independ-
ence. He will conquer them by kindness,
and attach them to their mother country by
relieving them of some of their burdens.
The flibusters may be assured that Concha is
the most dangerous foe that could be found to
their designs. lie will do for Cuba precisely
what the Penzuelas and Canedoes have never
comprehendel. lie will extend the franchis-
es Of the inhabitants, diminish oppression,
and gradually annihilate all revolutionary

EMIGRANTs TO KANsAs.-The Milwaukee
Sentinel has a letter from an emigrant to Kan
sas from which we make the following ex-
tract:
"Starting from st Louis the oath of July on
board a steamer, we reached Kansas town III
five days, place consisting of about fifteen
houses, with only one hotel, a rather comfort
able building, with plenty of room for at least
thirty persons. We stayed there only one
day, in order to purchase provisions and two
OK carts for transporting our luggage. Provi-
ded with these victuals we set out from Kan
sas town at 10 o'clock in the evening, the
day after our arrival there, for the place of
our future settlement, on pedestrian expedi-
ton of nearly fifty miles because the river
Is at this season so shallow, that steam ers
wouldnot run the risk Of stranding; and be-
side, there has not yet been established
regularservice of steamers there. We chose
taking tie night for our expedition, since we
had learned from some OF our fellow travel
lers on board the steamboat from st. Louis to
kasas town, that the inhabitants of Westport,
place onour road, consisting mostly of slave
holders, would prepare to give us rather hot
reception, having sworn that no man of the
emigrants ihould leave their village living, for
contnumgthis journey we laughed, howev-
er, at these oiayadoes, and having loaded our
rifles, on we marched, courageously. When
we, in the nNdle of the night, arrived at
Westport, nobody was to be seen to stop our
march, except atlock of kline, and we pursu-
ed our route Entirely untroubed. During
the following day we crossed an immense,
splendid prairie, which L imagined to be an
artificial flower garNen, so beautiful and fra

The good people of the first parish in Hol-
liston, are much in the predicament of Gold
smiths Vicar of Wakefield, whose family pic
ture proved so large that he was obliged to
enlarge his house to accommodate it. They
have recently procured a new organ of large
size, containing upwards of fifteen 6undred
pipes, some of them eighteen feet in length,
and foot and a half in diameter. They are
so arranged as to form three separate organs.
To accommodate it, the church has to be re-
modelled, and the alteration causes great dis
satisfaction in the parish, insomuch that di-
vision is apprehended.

GOING A SHAKING. - The TraUeley states
that Frenchman, employed by Postmaster
Gridley, Of Russell, while chopping wood near
the depot, met with three monstrous rattle
snakes, each measuring upward of four feet
IN length. The favorable position in which
tne reptiles lay enabled the brave Frenchman
70 XII the three at single blow. Upon cut
ting them open, thirty little rattlesnakes. with
one rattle each, made their appearance. and
met the same fate as their elders. This was
ayenging the garden of Eden to some extent.
A CHRISTIAN MovEMENT.-The Roman Cath
olic Bishop, of Buffalo, has issued a request
to his Hook ''that no more than five carriages
should accompany any corpse to the church
or cemetery, and the Catholics have, with few
exceptions, shown disposition to obey the
order cheerfully." 1t is to be hoped that the
Catholic Bishops of the country will follow
this example, and endeavor to break up the
long funeral system.

PEosPEcT OF THE HARvEsT.-From one just
from Upper Rock River, we learn that corn is
uniniured, and is too lar advanced for the
drought now setting in to affect it in the least
injuriously. From La Porte. Ind, we learn
the same thing by an old acquaintance. One
farmer there has 5000 bushels of old corn
From the Upper Wabash we also have good
news. 1t is thought that the corn crop there,
will be as good as ever. Rains on the Maumee
and Upper Wabash have been sufficient. In
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa the drought
has done but little damage, and all the crops
are large If all who have good crops or stores
of old corn will use it economically, the coun"
try will yet escape great calamity-the want
of breadstufs, or corn to fat our usual supply
of meat. These are the bright spots, and gem
eral exception to our almost universal drought.

The PERILs OF BLACKBERRYING.- The AL
bany Express of Thursday publishes an inter-
esting account of the adventures OF a black
Deriving party among the burning forests OF
Berkshire. The party, about thirty in num-
Der. comprising both males and females, had
left Albany in the cars, provided with all the
requisites for a regular blackberry picnic.
Arriving upon the ground, which was III the
yery heart of the Berkshire mountains, they
found the fruit very abundant, and i'll the
course of an hour had filed their baskets.
They then sat down in pleasant spot, and
after partaking of an agreeable lunch, devoted
several hours to drinking pop, singing songs,
and telling stories.
While ascending the mountain, they had
observed that portion of the underbrush
about its sides was on fire. But during their
festivities they had not remarked the increas-
ing density of the smoke and the growing
heat of the air. At length they were aroused
BY the fall of burning cinder in their midst,
and looking around them discovered that they
were almost begirt with fire, which was adj
vancing with frightful radidity. They hasten
ed to avail themselves OF the only avenue Of
escape which was left them-down the mar
row gorge of a little brook, over rocks and
precipices, through underbrush, and amid sti-
fling smoke. Their progress was necessarily
SLOW, anu tAey eApccteu eNely HioiHeIiC w oec
the flames meet in front of them, cutting off
their last hope. The air grew dark. The
roar Of the fire was deafening. Burning trees
| fell near them and their clothing was repeat
| edly set on fire by the cinders. Two ladies
| tainted and had to be carried, and their con-
| dition was becoming momentarily more des-
perate, when suddenly the wind shifted and
blew the smoke aside; and in few moments
more they reached place of safety Not
half an hour after their escape, the trees and
| brush of the ravine were in a blaze, and their
trysting place was lost in deluge of fire.

THE Chemical Bank, in New York, was
swindled out of $4,000, on Thursday, by a
plausible villain, with forged certified check
for $12, 1000, which he deposited and immedi-
ately drew out the $4,000 before any suspicious
were excited. He exhibited a letter of recon-
mendation from one of the first mercantile
houses in the West, as merchant of high
standing, and excellent character This letter,
also.was forgery. The rogue escaped; but
as he was paid in $500 bills, the payment of
which has been stopped, it is hoped he will
not be able to pass any of them without de-
lection

The London Times, of the 10th contains
leading article on the Greytown affair. The
Times says that property to the amount of
100000 was destroyed, great part of which
certainly belonged to American merchants,
and some parts to British and other European
houses
Z" As the destruction of this property could
have no connection with the offence imputed
to the authorities of the place, the owners of
it have complete and irresistible case for in
demnity against the Uunited States Govern
ment, especially as the property was deposited
there under the safeguard of a positive treaty
between Great Britain and the United States
and no notice was given to enable the persons
interested to provide against this calamity"
In the case of Richard Boyle VS.. Cardinal
Wiseman, the plaintiff was non-suited.

After fine RAIN it cleared up again, bright
and warm yesterday. The rain will be a
great relief to the parched fields and will i'm
prove the fall feed. 1t is probably too late to
be of much use to corn and potatoes. Of
corn, we understand that the crop in Central
Massachusetts will be nearly or quite an av-
erage one. The chief falling off will be on
gravelly soils. Potatoes will be quite light.
As vet they remain sound.

Persons in want of spectacles are referred
to the advertisement of L. d. Goddard, in
this paper. Mr.. Goddard takes great pains to
procure glasses of the best quality, and has
now on hand fine assortment Of the celebra-
ted pebble spectacles, whose great clearness
and purity, combined with that hardness
which prevents their becoming defaced and
rough by wear, makes them peculiarly desira-
BILE. when it is considered that almost as
many eyes are destroyed or injured by the
use Of bad glasses, as are by the neglect to use
any in season, the importance of getting the
best kind can hardly be too highly apprecia-
ted. Those about to buy would do well to
give Mr.. @. call.
