CoussIondsnce Of The N. Y. Tribune.
DEs MONIES, Oct. II, 1858.
We have passed through another political con-
test in Iowa, and Republcanism comes off once
more triumphant. inclOse you slip with the
latest returns. From the details YOU will see that
there is hardly the shadow of doubt of the cleo
ton of both the Republican candidates for Con-
gress, while the State ticket is safe beyond perad-
venture. There is gain of about 400 over Lowe 8
vote in Curts's Congressional District, and a gain
Of about 500 in the State, so far as heard from.
Scott County gives 600 Republican instead of
400, as stated N Slip. lama gives 30 Republican
Washington gives 3j5 instead Of PA, as stated in
sGp.
With increased emphasis Iowa declares for Re
Yublicansn. IT.

1t ia with pleasure that l can announce to you
that Ills State as far as heard from, has gone
largely RrruBiICAN. There seems to be no doubt
that the entire State ticket is elected. In this
Conpres siona District it has been pretty close
work. but it is now generally conceded by the
Democrats that the friends of Freedom have car
ried the day.
Our candidate for Secretary of state MI Sells,
will have large majority. A better man could
not have been selected for this Office in the State.
We have elected nearly our entire ticket IN tins

The farmers throughout the state have turned
their attention to the raising of the Chinese Sugar
Cane. Their efforts have been crowned with great
success In some counties there has been more
raised than will he needed for their own cOnsump-
ton And in nearly all the counties there has been
more or less raised. The sirup can be bought here
for 80 cents per gallon; aud the farmers say they
make money at il, even at that low figure.
Other kinds of mOasses bring 81 per gallon \

entire farms to this crop the coming season. Ii
