Mysterious DisappearQnec.--A few days
since well dressed woman left this city on one
of the Parkersburg packets She stopped at
the Mansion House in Marietta, and registered
her name as Minerva Kane. She had as bag.
gage a leathcrn trunk and band box. She
asked the landlady of the house if it was likely
she could obtain situation in town, and ap
peared sad and melancholy. The next morn
ing about o'clock, she put on her sun bonnet,
went out, and was seen by one of the boarders
passing down street. Since that time she has
not been heard of. Her valise and band box
still remain at the Mansion House. Her disap-
pearance is mysterious and unaccountable. She
is thought to have been resident of this city

CO In reply to correspondent vindica-
ting Western securities, and urging their
acceptance by Eastern capitalists, the New
Yerk Tribune remarks:
"We think that eastern capitalists have
been to hasty in removing confidence from
western dealers. True, the rush and heat
of speculation, which was carried on reck.
lessly by some, did much to destroy that
confidence, but in that they were only fol.
lowing in the footsteps Of their eastern
leaders. But the idea that borrowed money
alone, is going to work such a mighty
change, is a mistaken one. Eastern loans
will be present relief, but whether the bur-
den Of debt will not rest more heavily in
future in consequence, is another question.
But if eastern capitalists come forward,
in answer to the money calls they are receive
ing, and accept the securities offered
in return for the needed s'vital element" J"
money, will it arouse the western people
to full sense of wherein they must put
their dependedence Lots selling at from
one to two, and three thousand dollars, in
little inland towns, distant from market
for produce, with no manufactures of any
kind. with no privileges, of themselves, or
derivative care from the abundant riches Of
the country Immediately surrounding them,
is not going to materially benefit the West.
Nor is the sale Of land at from twenty to
fifty dollars per acre, land with prairie sod
unbroken, going to prove lasting benefit.
We want that land cultivated, and the
produce of it will more than relieve the
West Of her present embarrassment; it will
prove surety against the suffering in the
future. But as long as an unjust land mo-
nopoly exists, so long must the people suffer
more or less,''

The Providence Journal, we think it was,
which said, IL few weeks since, that sport
i've and keen-sighted Democrat in that
neighborhood was author of the remark, that
if his party desired to get rid troublesome
question in politics, they just put it into the
platform, and that was the end ofit'
There is much truth rs well as humor in
the remark, as any one will perceive who
devotes only moment to its consider
alton. Take merely the boasted Popular
Sovereignty doctrine. The Democrats nut
that into the Cincinnati Platform, and then
went to work to defeat its operation upon
the first case where it could be made effect
i've. They omitted no exertions BY which
to thwart the desires of the people of Kan
sas, completing their excesses in an act of
Congress, which provided that she might
come in if she accepted the bribe, but if OF
not and after train of deeds, some of
them of diabolical description, and all in
conflict with the popular sovereignty princi-
pie, they have the impudence to turn upon
the faces of honest men, and claim it as the
doctrine of the Democratic party N. H.

an effective shot into his own camp. In .
late number Of his paper, he reveals the
beauties Of Democracy to the admiring
gaze Of all outsiders, in the following
words:
"We shall say, in plain English that the
National Demo ccracy is and must be a power
created and held together, not BY any prin-
cipal of action, but solely and entirely BY
money, by the expectation and smell Of
money, by the tradition and tender remlnis-
cence Of money-and that its sole use is to
cover over and conceal rent that yawns
and shall yawn eternally. This being the
case, the question arises. Does it pay al
eighty millions? And if yes. then whom
does it pay and who pays it,"

OUR STATE-ITEMS FROM THE PRESS

WOODBURY. CoUNrY-The Sioux City Reg
lister says: "From our own observations,
and repeated conversations with farmers
from different parts Of the county, as we'll
as the adjoining counties, it affords us much
pleasure to announce that the corn crop is
sufficiently advanced to be beyond the reach
of any danger from an early frost, and that
the prospect is such, as to warrant the most
abundant yield of this crop, as well as po-
tatoes. Fears were entertained that the
continued rains the early part of the season,
would seriously injure the potatoe crop, but
the late favorable weather has dispelled all
apprehension, and our markets are now
abundanty supplied with superior article,
both in size and quality. We observe that
n number of our farmers are already turn.
ing attention to the cultivation of the Chi
nese sugar cane, and that considerable guam
titles are being raised this season, which
presents q remarkably fine, thrifty appear
ance. Our Slnthand friends are erecting
the necessary mills, and making other prep
arations, to manufacture syrup.
HARRlsoS.-W learn from the Flag, tina.
the people of our ncighboring county, are
agitating the subject of holding County
Fair at Magnolia, on the 18th and 10th inst.
The Flag says-"The citizens are taking a
deep interest in forming an agricultural So.
ciety and are making great preparations to
have their stock ready for exhibition. There
is muchto do yet, before the Fair can open."
LISS.-The Ceder Valley Times, in speak
ing Of the crops in that section, says, "as a
general thing, they are pronounced superior
to cny we have had for years. We speak
now of the corn and potatoe crop. We also
noticed large quantity of Chinese sugar
cane growing, and all of it looking fine. If
it is proven to be as good as they say it is,
we can count upon it as one of the staples
of Iowa, in future.'

A Man of Straw.

Asregularly as the week rolls round, the
Bugie erects man of straw, dubs it with
the appellation of Black Republican,, and
with sturdy blows, proceeds to knock of its
head off, and otherwise sadly belabor it.-
The operation, does not however, seem to
be wholly satisfactory, to the military gen.
ius of our neighbor, for he implores US to
come up and take the place of his man of
straw, and he will show US that the blows
he has been so valiantly bastowins upon an
inanimate object, if applied to something
animate, would cause it to roar like suck
ing dove. II Black Republicanism was only
what he would have US believe it vas, he
could demolish it instanter with his magic
wand. Just so-we have not the least doubt
of it.. His .'fre'ted fortunes.' however,
give him fear, that, on account Of our being
"unusuaIly dull just at this time.' We wont
take the cue he has given us, and therefore
he will have no chance to crown his brow
with the laurels of victory. His fears are
justly founded-the on Y satisfaction we
can vouchsafe him, will be found in contn-
ued blows upon his man of straw. Gee up.

A Treacherous Memory,

The chivalric 3. p. RANKIN, was among
the Pottawattamie's last Saturday, and gave
them a taste of his oratorical powers. lie
gave the audience very valuable piece of
information, to the effect that he wrote the
FIRST editorial ever written in Iowa in favor
of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, for which
the Pottawattamies were truly grateful
Mr.. RANKIN was particularly "down on''
epubicanism, and lavish in his eulogies
Of "Squatter Sovereignty" He acquainted
the audience with every thing he had said
and done in favor of that dogma, but here
his memory failed him, for no. word did
he say concerning his attendance at the Re.
publican Convention in Pittsburg, in the ca
pacity Of delegate from Nebraska. We
presume that had entirely escaped his memo
ry. However, treacherous memory, in n
Democratic politician, more especially a
Federal Office holder. is no very rare thing
but universally prevalent, on account of its
convenience.

The '.Listls Nigs" Have 1.-THE Cus faisa.
If any Of our readers have entertained
the opinion that the meeting last Saturday
was productive Of no great results, We hope
they will preserve their eqainimity Of mind,
while We barely suggest to them that they
are emistaken-mistake IN their calculations
of cause and effect. The last number OF
the Bugle contains indubitaable evidence of
having greatly profted by the performances
on the great "gala of the Western Democ-
racy." The editor having listened to the
croakings of the Omaha Chiefs, his fevered
fancy has again become haunted--white and
negro babies, on perfect equality, dance
minuets through his disordered brain-they
haunt him continually, like invisible fends
they beset him at the corner of every
street-they ''glow in the stars and blossoms
in the trees !'-they are ubiquitous, omni-
present and omnipotent-and besides that.
the little nigs will grow up to be large
ethiopans, and in all probability, get unde.
the fence. Our neighbor has taken the cue
given him by the 'gala day. orators, and
off he goes in tangent, rehashiug the estate
fat, and improbable" arguments (?) used
during the campaign preceding the adoption
of the new Constitution. As it is sometime
since our neighbor has given the ''negrc
babies" an airing, it is but meet and proper
that our readers should hear of their antics
upon being brought out, after more than q
years close confinement. 1t is not every
week that we can present the readers of the
Nonpareil with such choice arguments, such
delectable reading, as is contained in the
following extracts:
and goes in strongly in hs way for its protection, BY
preaching about the equality of Negro babies and the
horrors OF tho extension OF slavery.
Hear! hear! hear
How does our shho protect free white labor? How
does his party attempt to encourage free white iabor3
Is it by procl aiming the equality Of the Negro with the
white man? Is it by admitting the Negro into our com.
mon schools? Is it by making Iowa the asylum OF all
the runaway Negroes of other States? Is II by onerinS
agement TO Negroes to come and settle 10 oui
mdt and thus compete ith our white citizens in the
field OF labor that free white labor" is to be encour-
aged and protected?
Hear! hear !! hear!!
But our Black Republican cotemporary. while MAKING
loud Of friendship for the free white labor.
err supports party which proclams the equality oi
negro and white babies and enacts laws which have
direct tendency to encourage the emigration Of Negroes
to this State and by doing briggs the Blsck into d.
rect competition with free White labor.
Hear Hear 7! Hear!!! There is no use
of adducing argument or evidence against
such charges-they carry their own refuta'
ton glaringly evident on their face. Re-
publicans such is the chat, by which the
rotten Democracy hope to induce enligh'en-
ed and intelligent men to sustain the sinking
hull of Democracy! Bah!

The Gold Excite ment.

Several hundreds Of persons have gone
from the border counties Of Missouri, and
from Kansas and Nebraska, to the South
Platte Gold Diggngs, determining to brave
the dangers and hardsh,ps of the winter
months, rather than wait. We hear of
others who are preparing to start, and Of
very many who will be of as soon as posi-
Bile in the Spring. Indeed, if the present
excitement should continue, there will be a
general rush for the mines next season.
We should not be surprised if the emigration
to Cherry Creek were to equal that to Cali
fornia in lS49-50, when the whole world
seemed to be moving westward.
The latest reliable accounts from the
mines state the miners are averaging from
eight to twelve dollars per day. New dis
coveries are being made almost daily, and
it ia now rendered almost certain that these
mines are fully rs rich as any discovered in
California or elsewhere.-St. 10. West.

Encouraging Improvement.

That the condition of things in the inte-
rior is improving, there is very substantial
evidence. The grounds upon which, some
time since. We gave encouraging assurances
for the autumn, are in every respect justified.
! Many of our merchants--all with whom we
have spoken-report better success than
usual in their customary collecting tours
| One grocery dealer was quite elated. Stat
ing the proportion Of his bills that he had
collected, he said he did not remember when
| he had done as well before. He said that
| large quantities of cattle were being sold;
that the hogs were in good condition, and
great numbers of them had been already
mark eted that there were great many
drovers travelling through, making purchas-
es and leaving money, and everything was
getting easier and more hopeful. He anti
cipated fair fall trade and a cash and
rcndy-pay business. The fact is, most un-
questonably, that Southern Iowa has and
will have, in the aggregate, as much stuff
that will command money, to turn of this
fall, as usual; We think, very decidedly,
more than usual. Wheat is gone, it is true.
But then. We never did raise but little
Oats are gone also. But the hay crop was
never so abundant, and Hungarian Grass,

sively .own. as soon as the failure of the
oats was known and short crop of corn
feared. a heavy growth is now upon the
ground. Contrary to early expectations,
the corn crop will turn out full average.
Taking old and new corn together, there
never was so much in the country before as
now. The hog crop never was SO large be-
fore, by great deal. There are at least
25 per cent. more cattle to sell than usual.
All this comes in good time. The cattle
and hogs command cash. Everybody is
anxious to be relieved, and they are turning
them off as fast as possible. The country
is short of goods, also, and to pay their
debts and make new purchases, people IN
the interior are getting better able than usu-
al. The consequence is, that money is How-
ing towards this city in greater volume; the
trade is improving very senslbly; and the
current of cash and trade shows every sign
of deepening and strengthening through all
the autumn MONTHS Gate City.

The White House Machine at Washington.
BY TELEGRAPH.

The White House machine is found to
work badly. A new operator will be insti-
tuted as soon as possible. He is to work
the machine for four years from 4th March,
1860. The difficulty with the present ope-
rator is that it works only at one end. 1t
receives communications and signals from
the South and rcords and follows them
speedily and faithfully. But it takes no
notice Of anything coming from northern
quarter, no matter with what force the cur
rent Is sent. There is a serious difficulty,
too, as respects intelligence. The machine,
as now operated, does not seem capable Of
receiving Or manifesting intelligence in any
manner. The stockholders, who are some
thirty millions in number, are determined to
make change the earliest moment the by
laws of the society permit. There are now
no claimants for the honor Of originating
the mschine.-N. Y. Post,
