The Dubuque Republican remarks
The Republican party have never,
strictly speaking, had a majority in
the House of Representatives. The
whole number of members is 234.
The vote which elected Mr.. Banks was
only lob, and that is not majority of
234. The true strength of the Repub-
llcan party during the late extra ses.
sion, was 9S-including the Speaker
49, Mr.. Burlingame was absent I'M
paired-Mr. Millward also--Mr. Meach-
am was dead. The remaining l31
members were distributed among the
Democrats and the Know Nothings.

Wild Pigeons.

Pigeons in this region are exceedingly nu-
mcrous at the present time, and large numbers
are daily taken by sportsmen. 1t would scem
that their principal nesting places are consider
ably farther west than this, although very ma
ny hatch their young in this vicinity and re-
main with us the year round. Wild pigeons
are gregarious in the extreme. They roost in
masses so great that large forest trees are bro
ken down, and hundreds OF acres of ground
covered with broken timber to such an extent
that a liorseman cannot get through the woods.
Their nesting places are equally remarkable:
Every possible tree, and spot on a tree, where
a nest can be formed, is occupied, and the
nests are often built 50 slightly that eggs and
young pigeons fall to the ground in such MUM.

Skolae PoTrRY'or THE, SEASON. The lady cd
itor of the Elkader Tribune descants as follows
upon the ever-changing, ever progressive sea-
sons. Prose often brcathcs more of the true
spiritof poesy than rhymes, however smoothly
they may gingle:
Summer is ripening on the hills-August
comes up with slow tread from the tropics to
cool its fiery heart with night draughts Of the
south wind The green earth grows verv
calm as he winds his hot arms about it. A
low hymn rustles the forest trees. 1t is the
sweet LULLABY with which August rocks the
summer to its death. Have you labelled any
of its hours with golden "well one," reader,
Are you quite ready to meet life's September
as the summer is to meet hers? Each hour
has brought its mission whether it found you
in your quiet home or amid the gayeties Of
some fashionable watering place. But remem-
Der as each day says its twilight farewell to
you, it bears the sign and superscription you
have left there into the white calm of eter-

McdREGoR, situated some twelve miles
above Clayton City, and opposite to Prairie du
Chen, has q population of about $780, as we
learn from the Clayton County Herald. The
Milwaukee and Madison Railroad is to be COM
pletcd to Prairie du chien this fall, and the
railroad from McGrcgor this way, is to be
continuation of the same line. The shipping
business at McGregor is large and constantly
increasing. We have it from good authority
that the amount Of freight which passed
through the warehouses there during the last
three or four months, exceeded by one third
that at Dubuque. The place is destined to be
a prominent point on the Mississippi. Walker
s. Co. are running a daily line of stages from
that point west There are two or three hotels
there, and steam ferry plies between that
point and Prairie du Chen Nearly all the
merchandise for this portion of Iowa passes
through McGregor t.3 ISL

From Kansas,

Recent accounts contradict the re
port that the town of Lecompton was
destroyed by the free state men unde,
Gen. Lane nor is it probable that
Coy. Robinson and the other free
state men are rescued. '''.'

Lecompton, and took them prisoners

here to-day, demanding the release of
the prisoners. A conference was had,
when it was agreed that they would
release six prisoners, and also the
cannon taken from Lawrence, and dis.
perse all their camps of armed men.
provided we would release our six
prisoners" iaI .olff aeri
-Four companies of U. S troops are
near Lecompton, and their presence
will prevent any attacks upon that
place The free state men number

A St. Louis despatch says that
$500 men (pro-slavery) were prepar-
ing to enter Kansas. All manner OF
inilammatory appeals are made to the
south to come and rescue their friends
q from free state persecution. The
abolitionists are represented as burn
ing the houses of the pro-slavery men,
killing men, women and children, and
committing every horrible enormity.
On the 10th, Atchison and his asso-
ciates issued from Lccompton the fol-
lowing appeal to the people Of Mis-
souri,:
NEAR LEcoMproN, August 16, 1856.

olitionists have come on us this morn
ing about daylight, whipped and TAX

taken, and deserted by the women

500 strong. The Y. S, troops have al

our rescue before we are all murdered?
We are out of powder and lead, and
every kind Of ammunition Our friends
are now stationed in sheriff Jones's
house, as many as can, and will fight
to the last. Will you help us IF so,

will all be murdered. The foregoing
is reliable.

There is poetry in the editor of the
Maquoketa Sentinel, Hear him:

The last few days strongly remind us of q
southern April restless from rosy morn till
dewy eve, with its flying clouds and passing
showers, and gusty sobbings of an uncertain
wind. Each days sprinkle has alternated
with sunshine, to sink quietly down into the
lap of night, with a calm and placid smile.
The heat of midsummer is little felt, even &C
the noon of day, while the nights are SO deli
cously cool that rising in the morning is, as a
