PRo-SLAvERY LITERATURE AND PRoSLAvERY
ScnooLs-The Southern Press has for some
time been insisting upon the necessity Of lit
erature for the SOuth,-one which shall not tend
to Undue the mind with principles adverse to
human bondage. One or two genuses have
undertaken to supply the want by original pro
ductions, but with no very signal success Thus
far. We notice that some northern papers, in
the same spirit, are advocating the establish
ment OF schools and Colleges, where the stu
dent shall be secure from the danger Of imhlbing
principles Of freedom. The Iowa State Gazette,
which has taken up the matter with good deal
OF zeal, complains that sons of Democrats ire
quently come out Of college bereft OF the last
spark Of pro,Slavery sentiment, and sounds the
alarm through the Democratic ranks. The TIA
zeIte is correct in its statement OF the fact, and
just in its apprehension Of danger from this
source TO the waning slave sentiment OF the
North. But it does not like its southern cola
borers appreheni the root OF the evil. There
is more mischief in the books taught than in
the teachers. The spirit of the whole series,
from the ancient classics down TO the most mo-
dern treaties upon ethics, initiates against the
doctrines OF the Gazette. II would be OF little
use to found nro,Slavery Colleges at the North,
or send democratic children to them, when
founded, unless new course Of study were
introduced. A safe and satisfactory collection
Of textbooks would at present be hard to make
up. 1t will probably be necessary 10 wait for
the development of "a Southern Literature"
before this can be successfully done. In the
meantime we see no safe course for pro-slavery
parents to prevent apostacy from their princi-
pies in their chilIren, but TO keep them from
Colleges and schools ltogether.-Chicago Dem

fHE GRAPE CRoP.-The Cincinnati Gazette
learns that the ''rot" has injured the grapes in
many of the vineyards around Cincinnati. In
some vineyards at least one half Of the grapes
are destroyed. II, however, the weather should
be favorable, and the injury extend no further,
the crop will still be good. The vineyards, this
spring, have been weighed down with super
abundant crop, so much so, that If half Of the
grapes are thinned away by the "rot," fine
crop would still be realized.
Such is the Gazette's account. Is not that
parer imposed on? Are the grapes seized with
the .'rot" so early. Grapes here do not much
exceed bird shot in size, and we have never
scea them so young seized with rot.

MoRE HANGING IN CEDAR CouNry!-We learn
from Mr.. Wise Of Cedar county, that four morse
thieves (ns.ead Of two as stated IN our last IS
sue) we're arrested near Upton on Thursday last.
Their names were Alonzo Gleason, Ed. Soper.
Van Ausdcl and Walter Cassidy. Gleason and
Soper we're tried bv the mob in the court yard
at Upton, and on Friday evening were taken 10
Big Rock eighteen miles above Iipt0n) and
hung. Soper made full confession, implica-
ting 20 or 80 citizens Of Upton aud vicinity as
being concerned with the gang. Some OF these
have absconded for fear OF lynching.
II is somewhat remarkable that notWhhstand
ing the fearful example made Of these horse
thieves in this county week before last, the wors
OF stealing still goes on. On Monday n.ght,
horse was stolen from the stable oi " wright
three miles south OF Tipton, and on WednesdA!
night one from the stable OF Ar. Ford.
Great excitement prevails throughout tn
county, and We tear that the people will DO deed
Of rashness under lis influence for which the
~ii repent hereafter Five lives have not -
| tiated their vengeance. We learn that som
members Of the Vigilance Committee hAv

Rfe0eho0H 0f the Gospel.
What il the proper preaching Of the Gospel:
This was the subject Of Ne. Smiths eloquent
and discriminating sermon ca Monday evening
before the Baptist Education Society. The
preacher claimed that the Gospel ID system of
life. and - freely adapted to the nineteenth
century - 70 the 6rss, and possessed Of - much
power to remove the popular sims Of this age as
it was the idolatrv and pharisaisnl Of ancient
Rome and Judea; and that IL ministers would
preach the Gospel now, they must preach it
With reference to existing evils. They must
preach living Christ, not dead one.
The sermon was appropriate % the occasion,
and Il the young candidates for the ministry,
under the patronage of the Iowa Baptist Educa.
ton Society, viii heed its suggestions. We pre-
dict for them high and honorable career Of
usefulness. A living Gospel is the great want
of the church and Of the world.
A CASE OF ScALPlxs-Ws observed our
dapper little friend, the agent of the Packet
Company, walking down street yesterday morn
ing, after taking his breakfast at the Barrett,
With head erect and certain brusque manner
which We could net account for until We saw .
new tile upon his head. Seeing it was splen-
did hat We concluded he had invested at
Somers and deposited bis yilairous old hat in
the river with brick in it. Great was our as.
Constituent and very apparent was the disgust
Of the Packet Agent, when q stranger, bare
headed, came down jefferson street at rapid
rate, and without as much as 'by your leave, !"
snatched the good looking hat from the head Of
our good looking dapper friend, put it on his
| own head and, without word, started on his re-
turn to the Barret. Our friends countsnance
expressed all the passions at once at this unu-
susi liberty taken with his person. We looked
for, nothing shor, Of bloody fight, but were
disappointed With ''perhaps you don't like
iti" and "rll see you again! will" He
pursued his way to place where be might pro-
vide wherewithal to shield his "top knot" from
the blazing SUE.

lalf past twelve. the Common Coancil and board
of Trade OF the City Of Peoria arrived at the

ceived BY the Mayor, Council and Board OF
Trade Of Burlington. After the visitors were
f.irly on board the "Fiint, !" they were welcomed
bv Mayor Corse, In . short bat esoqaent and
i. ,ppily delivered speech. The Mayor spoke Of
tie strong commercial and social interest be-
tween our city and Peoria, which has been
strengthened and solidi6ed BY the completion
Of the railroad between US, with fne effect. He
noticed in glowing terms the prospect ola spec
d completion OF route from the Mississippi
to the Pacific, and illustrated the noble effect
that these iron bracelets Of the world produce
apon our mental, commercial and social rela-
items. He closed BY welcoming the guests 70
the hoepitalties Of our city. The reply OF Mr..
G;ier. on the part Of the authorities Of Peoria.
was rema, kably neat and classic. he spoke OF
the bonds of interest and good feeling between
the two cities. and expressed hope that all our
ideas and plans in regard to the future increase

spoke tersely, but very happily. and closed with
al assurance that Burlington and Peoria should

wishes BY this time, the boat was lying at the
v.arf, and the people, forming procession,
ard headed by the German Band, (which had
been in attendance during the whole time, pro
ce.ded to the Barret House, where dinner was
served by Deming. After dinner, the citizens
OF Peoria amused themselves in viewing the
the city. We heard it stated upon the streets,
that ball was to take place at Mozart Hall, in
the evening.
throughout the proceedings, the utmost iol.
lit, prevailed, and every one, both citizens and
strangers, seemed to enjoy themselves to the
fullest extent.
There is one matter, concerning which we
viza to say word. 1t is very fashionable, AT
the present day, to pay every possible attention
to hose Interesting and most magnificent speci-
mems of animate creation, the ladies. We were,
therefore, surprised to notice that the wives and
daughters Of our Peoria friends walked in the
procession, through the dust and sun, from the
levee to the Barret. Why did not some Of our
gallant Aldermen think to provide carriages for
their accommodations

Doc EAT DoG-His Honor, Justice Shaw,

drunkenness and disorderly conduct upon the
street. The Capt. Of Police says, as We hear.
that about o'clock Wednesday morning there
was a continued rapping, understood generally

on the ground he found Justices Shaw and
Walbridge as tight as bricks-that Sh'w used
very disrespectful and irreverent language to
