Vice..

Vice, of different grades, has been
alarmingly prevalent in our hitherto
moral and quiet town during the past
week. The devil has appeared among
us in human form, and battle has
been fought for the mastery. Des-
peratc was the struggle--yet victory
crowned the efforts of those of our
citizens who were on the side of NOR
atty, justice and humanity. An ini-
quitious business has been broken
up. 1t has recently transpired that
blackiegs from adjoining towns have
been in the habit Of coming in here,
and meeting those of like stamp, and
getting few Of the unwary to join
them, have kept up an extensive
gambling business. Thousands OF
dollars have been stakcd and won-life
has been in jeopardy-and happiness
driven from the family circle. Anoth-
or evil closely connected with this, is
the extensive sale of intoxicating IL
quors in our vicinity of this, howev-
er, we will speak in another place.
Three Of the light-fngered gentry
were nabbed last week, and brought
to trial One was convicted, but let
of, on the plea that he would not be
seen in town again, with a small fine
of $500 and costs, amounting in all
to about $4,000. The other two were
released, no one appearing against
them. They were connected with the
one convicted, and, no doubt, quite as
guilty. Our citizens are determined
that this shall be the end of gambling
in our town ;--see notice in another
column. Much excitement prevails,
and if any other gamblers are caught
among us, they may be assured that
Judge Lynch will preside at their
hearing. We warn all blacklegs to
keep clear of us.

STATE Q! Iowa, Prosecution under ,e
Josrrn A. J:NIcno1., Dsft. ing and betting.
BEFORE ALANsoN LAMBERT, Justice
This prosecution was commenced be-
fore Samuel Hackley, Justice Of the
peace, and was brought before Alan
son Lambert, by change Of venue
The information on complaint alleged
that the defendant had played at a
game of cards and risked money at
said game, with divers individuals, at
St. Charles City, in Floyd County, on
the 4th day of August, 1857. The
cause was tried at Cheney and Brack-
ett's Hall, in St. Charles City--S. B..
Starr and VIM. B. Fairfield appearing
for prosecution, and Moses Conger
and G. G.. Reiniger for defendant.
The defendant demanded jury trial,
which demand was complied with.
A witness on the part of the prosecu.
ton testified, among other things, that
he saw said defendant playing cards
with three other individuals named
Jacob Patterson, John Osbun and a
stranger unknown saw defendant
and others put up money saw the
cards shuff1ed and dealt saw one of
the party take the money when the
cards were thrown down and the
game ended and that he saw the
above at st. Charles City, in Floyd Co.,
about l o'clock on the morning of the
4th inst, at the house of Barney Corby.
After the proofs and allegations Of
the parties and the arguments Of coun-
sci were heard by the jury the cause
was submitted to them and they re-
turned verdict of guilty, with a rec
to the court for mercy.
Whereupon the court fined the defend
ant $500 and costs of suit, (sl6,60,)
amounting to $4l, so, and ordered that
the defendant be imprisoned until the
same be paid-judgment rendered &C
cordingly. Whereupon the defendant
appealed from said judgment and gave
bonds for his appearance at the next
District Court, in the sum of 5000.
After the court pronounced its de-
cision the defendant offered to pay O
fine of $500, provided the court
would remit his fine to that amount
and not bring an appeal. This the
court did not feel authorized to do and
SO the appeal was brought. We can.
not conceive how the prisoner could
more plainly admit his guilt than b,
offering to pay part of the fine, anc
knowing the evidence that was pro
duced in court, we are confident the
judgment rendered will be sustained
in the District Court.

GOOD SPECULATION.

MIR. JOSEPH KELLY, owner of the water
WI power and mill property at st. Charles,
will rent his mills consisting of one of the best
-four mills in the State, which has oply hen
built about one year and half, and is in per-
feet running order, and saw mill, which with
little repairing, would do good work. These
mills he will rent on favorable terms to some
responsible man--possession given at any time
The proceeds of these mills AMOUNTS to about
$4,000 year. Mr.. Kelly will also sell or
rent his st. Charles Hotel property on such
terms as can but be satisfactory This property
is in the most central portion of the town. and
the st. Charles Hotel is known to the public
as frst-class houee. Possession given of the
hotel, whether rented or sold, in March, 1853.
Mr.. Kelly's reasons for wishing to make this
disposal Of the property named, are these =
He has natural love for the life of the pio-
neer, and this prompts him to seek new
home where the buffalo roams undisturbed.
and the red man is "l0rd of all he SURVEYS. -
At least it il his desire and intention TO explore
the wild regions west of this place, and not
unlikely he will fix upon some point where in
few years he will have laid the foundation
for an important town. He has also been in
business here for some time, and has not. in
many instances, had settlement with those
indebted to him and those to whom he is in.
debted therefore, he shall expect hisredtors
and debtors will see that IN immediate settle
ment is effected. Be prompt, gentlemen
have the money to pay my debts and shall ex-
pect you to pay yours without delay.

What will YOU Do?

Will the people of St. Charles look
quietly on and see the various "hellsn
in our village infuse their pestilential
breath into every family circle? Will
they see families coming to want !;
fathers forgetting every duty they
owe to their wives and children; broth
ers making themselves a disgrace to
their friends, and curse to the COM
munity; and sons following in the
road that leads to shame and endless
torment, and not lift their voice in
one prolonged, defiant cry, to stay the
damning influence of rumselling Will
they see scenes Of fighting and blood
shed in our streets, and not use the
means in their power to arrest it p
Will they allow the peace and quiet
of our village to be disturbed by the
midnight orgies of drunken rabble :?
These are questions which every re-
spectacle citizen of st. Charles will,
we trust, answer with decided MOI
We are sorry to allude to this matter.
We have not had the occasion to be-
iy,e that we now have but there is a
time when forbearance ceases to be a
virtue. With the respectable and law
abiding portion of our community, that
time has come. Within few weeks,
rum has been sold in the most public
places in town, by day and night
Men have staggered through our
streets, and drunken revels have been
of frequent occurrence. A notice in
another column, shows the determine
ton of our citizens. There are others
who are with us, heart and hand.

The Election in Floyd County.

The result of the election in FLOYD
County cannot be said to be a party
triumph. As in other new Counties
sectional issues controlled the election
entirely. Col David Ripley, the sue
cessful candidate for County Judge, is
a staunch Republican, yethe received
the entire Democratic vote in the west
part of the County. Sectional feeling
outweighed party prejudice in the
election of all the county officers. In
Col. Ripley we recognise popular
man man of perseverance and ster-
ling integrity, and one who, we doubt
not will seek to serve the interests of
the county. Notwithstanding he
was not the choice Of the people of St.
Charles, owing to sectional differences,
we think we speak the sentiments of
all when we say we are confident he
will not know one portion Of the coun-
ty from another, or one man from an
other, in the administration of the du-
ties of the Office to which he has been
elected. All the officers elected are
worthy and capable men and we doubt
not will discharge the duties of their
various Offices to the satisfaction of
all.
We give elsewhere the official re-
turns of the canvass in this county from
which it may be seen that the whole
number of votes cast were 7ls; Of
these st. Charles polled 264. The
vote on the new constitution was |:
For it, 3l2. Against it, 1913. On the
question of striking out the word
white" there were for it, l76 !;
against it, 1928.

The CUNNlNGHAx EXCITEMENT Re-
vrvED.-Mrs. Cunningham, smart as
she is, has at last been caught in .
trap of her own setting. She pretend
ed to give birth to q child. of which
DR.. Burdell was alleged to be the
father. The baby was borrowed for
the occasion, and everything was ar
ranged for the accouchment, when the
police entered the private chamber,
and arrested the whole party, inclad-
ing the would-bc mother, the doctor
and nurse.
This affair must, we think, dissipate
whatever doubts charitable people
were disposed to entertain favorable
to the innocence Of this wretched wo.
man and her accomplices.

ARMING AGAINST THE INDIANS IN MIME
sorA.-Eighty sets of equipments have
arrived at St. Paul from St. Louis, to
supply the St. Paul Light Cavalry,
Capt. Collins, which, together with the
Pioneer Guards and the Shields Guards
infantry companies, have been ordered
by Governor Medary to hold them
selves ready to march against the in
dams at few hours notice, whenever
required. There are six other uniform
militia companies in the territory all of
which have received similar orders,
and Gov. Medary has issued commits
sions for the formation of a new caval-
ry corps of forty men at Minneapolis.
He is now at Yellow Medicine, among
the Indians, with his aids. The United
States force at Mackinaw, IS men, and
the detachment at Sank, arc on their
way to Fort Smelling, and the artillery
corps which left Fort Independence,
in Boston harbor, few days ago. has
probaly arrived in the territory by this
time. Add to all these regulars and to
the territorial uniform militia the $50
o. S. soldiers previously on hand, and
we have force between 800 and 1000
men, who may be used in active war
fare at any moment when the necessity
presents itself.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

NOR THE rapid cure of Coughs, Colds,
Il Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough,
Asthma and Consumption, is universally known
as the best remedy ever yet discovered for every
| variety Of Pulmonary disease. So wide is the
field of its usefulness and SO numerous the cases
Of its cures that almost every section of the
country abounds in persons publicly known,
who have been restored from alarming and even
desperate diseases of the lungs by its use.
When once tried it's superiority over every
other medicine Of its kind is too apparent to es-
cape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what an
tidote to employ for the distressing and dan
gerous affections of the pulmonary organs
which arc incident to our climate. By its
timely use many nay almost all attacks of
disease upon the Lungs or throat, are arrested
and thus are saved many thousands every year
from a premature grave. No family should
be without it and those who do neglect to pro-
vide themselves with remedy which wards off
this dangerous class of diseases will have cause
to deplore it when it is too late Proofs of the
surprising efficacy of the Cherry Pectoral need
not be given to the American people, they
have living proofs in every neighborhood. But
| those who wish to read the statements Of those
whose whole health has been restored and
whose lives have been saved by its use, will
find them in my American Almanac which the
agent below named has to furnish gratis for
every one.

ST.. CHARLES, August 10, 1857.
MEssRs. EDroRs Being one who
subscribed to a considerable amount
for the purpose of building Bridge
across the Cedar River, at this place,
permit me. through your columns, to
ask the Bridge Building Committee, if
said Bridge is to be completed, or even
commenced, this season. have seen
from time to time notices in your pa
per, that the work would soo2 COM
mence, &c, information which I sup
posed you derived from the Committee,
and published in good faith; but, as
yet, am unable to see that anything
has been done, nor am aware that
the least effort has been made to for
ward the work Now, if the present
Committee are going to let this work
go by until another season, is it not a
duty the subscribers owe to them.
selves, and to the town and country
at large, to call meeting and appoint
another Committee-onc that wIi
prosecute this work. / do not wish
to censure the present Committee, but
it is evident that thus far they have
done nothing. If they have done their
duty, let them come forward and say
so-tell us what has been done, and
what is the present state Of affairs, as
relates to the building Of this Bridge.
The Bridge is an absolute necessity /;
much travel which would come into
town if there was Bridge across the
River, now passes by US, the result
is o great loss to the business
portion of the citizens of St. Charles.
Again, but two or three months will
elapse, ere the waters of the Cedar will
rise so that crossing at the ford, which
at any season of the year is bad, will
be impossible. Then the only way of
crossing the River will be by skiffs,
which ply above the dam. Comment
upon the inconvenience of thus cross
ing the River, is unnecessary. Shall
we have the Bridge this season..
That's the question which wish the
Committee to answer. Before they
answer this question, will whisper d
word in their ears. Do you know that
many subscribers are expressing
determination not to pay the amount
set against their names, if not ex-
pended this season? / know that this
is the case I; and further, these same
individuals say, that next year they
will not give farthing towards build
ing bridge. Now, this being the
case, what action will the Committee
take I? l wait to see. A SUBSCRIBER.

We have hitherto considered St.
Charles the model of Western towns
for morality, and it is with heartfelt
sorrow we have witnessed the pass
ing events Of the last two weeks, and
with reluctance we allude to the ini-
putty which abounds in our midst. It
is but two or three weeks since the
devil stalked abroad among us SO
openly, and we sincerely trust there
is that in embryo which will soon give
us the supremacy over evil in every
shape. To this end let us all watch
