Pilgrims Festival.

According TO appointment, meeting
was held Saturday evening, Jan. 16. 1855,
at the store of Messrs. Moore d. Counts,
of the English and Scotch citizens of this
town, for the purpose ofmaking arrange
ments for holding dinner, in commem-
Grafton of the settlement of the town OF
Plymouth, founded by the Pilgrims.
DR.. R. w. Wright was called to the

Secretary.
On motion, Committee of Arrange
ments was appointed. consisting of Mes
srs. Wright, J. H. Stevens and j. John.

Festival, and make all necessary arrange
ments.
On motion, a Committee was appoint

On motion of the Chair, it was resolved
that we extend an invitation to all the
English and Scotch residents in the coun-
ty to join with us in the Festival, as also
to all others wishing to join with us in
celebrating an event fraught with so
much interest to this nation, and especial
ly to her adopted citizens, of whom we

Ew On Thursday night last, the St.
Cloud Hotel, the largest edi6ce in Du-
buque, and certainly one of the finest and
most costly structures in the West, was
totally destroyed by fire through the
agency of an incendiary. The block oc-
cupied nearly one whole square on Main
street, and was erected last year at cost
of $4,000. The building, however,
with the exception of one of the Stores,
has never been occupied. 1t was insured
for 100000, interspersed among some 1
Offices, and the loss to the proprietors will
therefore scarcely equal that which the
city will sustain in the destruction of one
of her chief ornaments. We notice that
the Dubuque papers are strongly urging
the insurance Offices to re erect it, as a
matter of economy to themselves, con-
tending that it can be replaced at a less
cost than the amount of its insurance.

r. We are every day met by the Oh.
servation, both from former patrons and
those who have not yet encouraged us,
that they would like to receive our paper,
but are unable to pay US in money at the
present time. To obviate this obiec ton,
we have determined upon taking such
produce. in payment for subscription, as
we can. in any manner, get clear Of. We
will, therefore, receive Wood, Wheat and
Oats from those who would prefer pay
ing US in those articles We are aware
that the present prices of the two last ar
ticles offer no induccment to farmers to
part with them, but the loss to each in
dividual upon the small quantity they
would be required to bring us, would be
but trifling. But, small AS seem the
prices we offer, they are an advance upon
those We receive. and are all that we can
afford to give.
We will take Wood at Sc 50 per cord,
Wheat at 40 cents per bushel, and Oats
at 25 cents per bushel.

Foreign News.

E1r The steamship Europa, with Liv-
erpool advices to the 9th inst, arrived at
New York on the Gath The news is of
very little importance. From India we
have later advices, reporting the death of
Gen. Havelock, at Lucknow, on the 25th
of December. He died of dysentery, in
duced by general anxiety and exposure
Gen. Wyndham, with his division, con-
sisting of little over thousand men, at
tackled force of the Gwallior mutineers,
numbering 5000, on the 9th. The re-
bells were marching from Calpec towards
Cawnpore, and fought desperately, caus-
ing the English to retreat with the loss
of nearly the whole of the Gath regiment.
Sir Colin Campbell, however, completely
routed this body of mutineers on the 7th
of Dec, destroying all their ammunition,
bullocks and grain, and capturing l6 of
their guns.
The London money market was easy,
and the bank directors had reduced the
rate of interest to s per cent.
The launch Of the Leviathan progress
es satisfactorily, the vessel being moved
eight or ten feet daily.

bayonets against the just Indignation of
the people, can succeed by trick and fraud
in fastening an obnoxious constitution
upon them, and take away from them the
power to amend it until slavery shall be-
come further strengthened. there is an
end to free government and American
liberty
The people of Iowa look with alarm
upon the constant aggressions Of the
slavery propagandists, but confess that
Hook with equal alarm upon the mani
fest tendency OF our government in con
The events Of the few past years would
seem to indicate that the predictions of
some of the men who achieved our lib
critics for us, are being fulfilled. Our
government is fast becoming an elective
monarchy. The States are gradually To-
sing their consequence and will soon be
reduced to the condition of mere munic-
ipal appendages TO the central power
The influence of the federal government
is prostituted to interference in State af-
fairs, even to that of municipal elections.
The doctrine inherited from our ances-
tors that standing armies are dangerous
to the liberties of the people, is rcpudia-
ted by constant and strenuous efforts to
increase the national army.
The federal government now asks to
control all the banking institutions in the
States by virtue of some law of Congress.
Sinecure Offices are created for the pur-
pose of influencing public opinion. The
army Of Office holders scattered through
the States. uttering the sentiments, dis
bursting the money, and obeying the com
mands of the Central Authority, govern
in great degree the sentiment of the
country. Thus, the federal government
instead OF being as it was designed to be,
the mere creature, and under the control
OF the States. is fast becoming their mas
ter.
This centralizing influence of the gov
ernment-the immense increase of our
national expenses-the history of slavery
propagandism in Kansas, and the com
plicity of the federal government there
with the attempt to overthrow the clear
est right of the self government for he
purpose of extending the institutions of
slavery, and the efforts to destroy the
rights Of the States by political decisions
OF the Supreme Court, should remind the
freemen of Iowa, that their political rights
are in danger.
The liberties Of the people can only be
preserved by maintaining the integrity
OF the State governments against the cor.
rupting influence Of federal patronage and
power.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.
The dispatches received at the War
Department from Col. johnson, dated
Nov. 3oth, confirm the previous reports
OF excessive suffering and great loss of
dragon animals by severe storms, cold
and starvation. A sufficient number of
oxen, though poor, had been saved to
supply part rations in six days of the
week, and there was on hand enough ba.
con for one day of the same period for sew
en- months, also flour and small rations.
The storm dealt roughly with Col. Cooks
command. He lost half of his horses,
besides number of mules. Further ad-
vance cannot be made toward Salt Lake
without new supply ofsuch animals, to
procure which Capt. Marcy had been dis
patched to New Mexico, for their use car
ly in the spring, when the army with all
the volunteer force, 1000 strong will re-
sumo its march as soon as supplied with
horses and mules, and tho grass on the
mountains is sufficient to sustain Them
Two volunteer companies had been mus
tered into the service for nine months.
1t was expected that in few days two
more will be mustered, the troops have
borne the dangers ond privations Of tho
