from the new-b born second ATHENS OF
the West, Jacksonville, Chickasaw Co.
This very promising young town is on
the South Fork Of Turkey River, 60 miles
West of your Young Giant, McGREGoR.
It is on the direct route to st. Charles and
Clear Lake, just where it intersects the
IBEsr route from Dubuque to st. Paul.
The amount oftravel through the place is
almost incredible, to stranger, and con-
stantly increasing. The first lick was
struck in town, in May last and we now
have good Hotel, two Stores, one Smith
Shop, and several comfortable dwellings.
Steam Saw and Grist Mills are to be erect
cd in the Spring, and a fine new PRINTING
Pass will be here as soon as it can be
brought from st. Louis, on which the
Chickasaw Co. Paper will be printed and
sent forth to bless the land. Present ap-
pesrances indicate that 40 or 50 houses
will be built here the present year; and
with due Difference to your worthy EN-
gineer" and others, allow me to say JACK

CHEAPEST route for our Rail Road from

it Through our place, not less than FIVE
MILES in distance will be saved. and at
least half million of dollars in the cost

rAkr item, in this money loving age?
The first survey Of the Dubuque and

and we are strongly of the opinion that
it will run through the place. tsWe chal-
lenge any other proposed route for the a.

the present population at about two hun

well watered and supplied with timber.
As we now nearly approached Bradford,
the Queen Inland City of Northern Iowa,
as it soon wall be, we gladly. thought~up-
on the comforts of the home for the trav-
elcr there established. The general ap-
pearsnce of the country as we proceeded
toward Bradford, compared favorably
with any we had passed. My descriptive
powers are inadequate to do justice to the
scene which was spread around US, and I
shall only attempt very general descrip-
ton of the town and its natural adyan-
tages. Here Nature has been lavish of
her charms. The traveller approaching
Bradford, has complete view ofthe whole
town; he seems to be descending into an
extensive park, beautifully arranged, with
houses looking out from among the native
oaks, which have been left standing in
obedience to refined taste, both for COM
fort and ornament. Arriving in good
time, we drove up to the Bronson House,
and were cordially met and ushered into
a large and comfortable room, while with
out any care on our part, our horses were
taken from us and well cared for. Here
we were made to feel perfectly at home,
in spacious well furnished house con-
Quoted in first class Eastern style by the
owner, Mr.. Bronson. We remained here
for several days enjoying all the Injuries
the Cedar Valley affords, and some thar

Bradford. the County Seat Of Chicka-
( q . Z
saw County, is situated 80 miles West of
McGregor, on the East bank of the Cedar
River, stream celebrated for its album
dant, clear spring water. We had ample
time to become acquainted with all the
superior advantages Of the place. 1t is
bounded on the North, East and South by
fertile prairics and on the West by tract
Of timber covering twenty-six thousand
acres, which is not surpassed either in
Wisconsin OF Minnesota. There, are
seven grist and saw mills all in operation.
and a population Of about eight hundred
live Yankees, all wide awake for any and
every improvement calculated to advance
the interests Of the entire community
With all these advantages, Bradford must
continue to be, as now, one of the most
interior towns in Northern Iowa,
and go on increasing in prosperity with
the growth of the country, which is fill
ing up with surprising rapidity. '.

well prepared for rapid travelling by the
refreshment and entertainment which had
been provided for US by the worthy host

ROgueS Falling Out.

An unholy war has broken out among
the Holy Allies of the New York Free Soil
press. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the
"Independent," his quondam organ, are be-
rating each other in most unsanc,ified
manner 1t seems that Beecher, whilst
not actively employed in enlis,ipg recruits
and buying rifles for Kansas, has composed
and published most devout and peacea-
bic hymn book, which he puiied prodigi-
ously with his own pious hands in the col.
umns Of the "Independent." Recently, an
other musical clergyman, Of New England,
a kinsman Of one Of the editors Of the "In-
dependent" also produced a hymn book,
which was highly commended in one Of the
religious journals Of the day.
The amiable Beecher AT once fell afoul
Of this rival production, criticized it in the
most savage manner, tomahawked and
scalped tho author after the most approved
style Of Beecher warfare and wound up by
declaring that his competitor had absolute
ly pulled his own hymu.book Upon this,
the "lndepeudent" at once revealed the
agency of Beecher in praising his own ho-
ly melodies The consequence has been a
general and most unmusical and uuclerical
scuitle all round, in which pacific hymns
have given place to the most comparative
prose, and the sweet singing to sounds re-
sembling rather the sacred psamody Of a
bagful Of nfuristed gri,nalkins than the
billing and cooling Of black republican cho
risters.
In addition to this inspiring contest be-
tween the rogues of the Free Soil religious
press and pulpit, is n highly satisfactory
row between the New York Times and
Tribune. The Tribune taunts Raymond,
of the Times, for his course in regard TO
Meagher's challenge, insisting that he had
not the moral courage 10 hand over Mea-
gher to the officers of the law. Raymond
retorts by reminding Greeley of his own con
duct in permitting Mr.. Rust who attacked
him in Washington, to go unwhipt of JUS
tice. In the meantime, Bennett keeps up
a guerilla fire on all hands, and We should
not be surprised TO hear of another assault
and battery being committed upon that in.
teresting gentleman, by one Of these ma
hogauy stock warriors, who are always
ready 10 make war upon non .combatanis
but have the most holy horror Of bloodshed
