Trapel.-The tide of travel is beginning to
set in quite encouragingly. The Cars. Boats
and Stages look much more like business than
they did two months ago, and it is not improba-
bic that Northern Iowa, notwithstanding the
money panic, will see good times yet before
the close of Autumn. Now is an excellent
time to come to this State. Money is cheap
eastward and high here. Land is sold in Sc
cond hands almost at Government price, while
farms with good beginnings in the way Of i'm
rrovcments can be bought very low. People
here are good deal in debt and as most of
them own more land than they can cultivate,
there is a general disposition to lessen their
liabilities by lcssening their farming territory.
We occasionally see family moving back
to the cast, but it is no difficult matter to tell
from inspection what is the cause OF the re
turn. Poor horses and old wagons, each boy
with gun, FIVE or six dogs following the NOV
ing train, tell, without ciphering, that such per
sons have not the requisite industry and ener-
gy to live in a new country and hence they
drawback like the spoiled kitten to the ashes
of an old hearth-stone in Ohio or Pennsylva-
MIA, there ~ oyster away their lives on the
farm of some one who has the skill to get la
Dor out of them for their board and clothes. 81
May all such drones leave Iowa as soon as
possible.

Stay La,cs.-Some Of our state cotempora-
ries are indignant because Of the report that
Iowa in common with other Western States
'has stay law"
If it is fact that debtor may be summon
ed to appear at one court and be allowed six
months to answer in-that Judgment is then
allowed to wait 80 days on sums over $40,
thus giving mine months time on a debt-tha
q mortgage has year for redemption. and
that it is now next to impossible toget out an
attachment, we conclude the creditor will
agree with US, that there is good deal Of stag
in the travel Of a debt towards collection

The CaJle.-The LIST, of September was uni
yersally celebrated in England and the United
States in honor Of the successful laying Of the
cable. All the large cities went to an expense
unprecedented for lights. fireworks, gun-pow-
der. music, banners sc. &c. The Americana

The Hiph School

The High school building OF Clayton Coun-
ty is said 10 be contracted to Frank Smith, Esq,
at about $4,000. A good many people are
beginning to complain seriously in view of the
increased taxes which the new school system
will entail on the counties and State. Several
persons, of ardent educational sympathics too,
have requested us to suggest that Superintcn-
dent BHowN should stop the wheels of expense
little while, till times give some signs Of re-
covering from the present severe attack poor
crops and heavy taxes will unpopularizc the
best thing in the world and it may be bad
policy to leopard the success Of an important
measure by pushing it forward despite the state
of the country. The system of taxing the pub.
lie for anything but strictly common school
has never met our approval; hence we have
never Endorsed the expenditure Of the people S
money for West Pointism, Colleges, Academies
or their small imitators. The masses of the
people arc not rich, and as the children of the
wealthy generally derive all the benefits re-
sulting from the establishment Of High Schools
and Colleges, we believe the rich are amply
able to educate themselves without legal tri-
butte from the purses of those who are put to
great trouble to keep up a school for the edu-
cation of their own children But. as the pres
ent law is h~, we have offered no opposition
to it, nor shall we do so unless we are convinc-
ed that the managers of the funds are drawing
plans for the future with an entire disregard
for public sentiment or publt interest. The
Iowa system we believe TO bare many morris,
but sherc is a possibility Of purchasing a finer
suit of educational clothes than the situation of
| new country may require. A vigorous effort
to run up an Expense Account in the present
state the crop and money market, will result
in the speedy repeal of the law and the death,
politically, Of all who are its advocates.
Put on the breaks, Mr.. Brown! The com
mercial road is very rough along here and lit
tie caution is advisable.

Charlottesville Dubuque Times contradicts
the statement that Mr.. Vandever will not re-
fuse to admit slave states into the Unioa, and
requests lis to make the correction.
We do this with pleasure, because We never
wilfully mis-reprcsent man and when we are
mis-led, we hold him friend who will correct
IFS. But, if we understand the Dubuque Times,
the position of Mr.. Vandever is only hairs
breadth from the one we charged him with en-.
tertaining--it is this: "No State shall come
in as slave state out of any territory formerly
protected by the Missouri Compromise Mr..
" prefers to rest his hostility to their admission
not on grounds of moral or political right SO
much as upon the legal binding Of compro.
mise never lived up TO in the past and now
universally admitted 10 be "void and of nc
effect" A dead law is preferred by Mr.. v. to
"thc living principle of hostility to slavery"
Mr.. Lincoln. in reply to Douglas question
plainly says: Il will not oppose the admission
of new states on the ground of slavery
Mr. Colfax of Indiana says he would no,
vote to admit slave state though severy SOU

should vote for it.

MORMONISM AND IT'S FOUNDER.

MORMONISM AND IT'S FOUNDER.
The rapid growth of the Mormons, or
Mermonite, from an obscure, feeble and
contemplate sect Of religious fanatics, to a
populous, and self-sustaining community,
embedying all the elements of empire, and
assuming an attitude of independent sover-
eighty, is one of the remarkable phenomena
Of the age, and requires more than casual
notice from the cotemporaneous historian
A. brief review of the prominent facts in
their career will be peculiarly acceptible at
the present time, the extraordinary posture
Of their relations to Federal Government
having recently directed towards them a
large share of the public attention.
Joseph Smith Junior. Gas he always styles
himself, the founder Of ,Mormonism and

Of teas, or the scrapings of the inside of tan
ned leather, and bind it closeupon the wound
and the blood will soon cease ofow5 These
articles are recommended, because: they are
at all times accessible, and easy to be OBJ
tained. After the blood has ceased to flow,
laudanum may be advantageously applied to
the wound. Due regard to these instruc-
tons will save agitation of mind, and run
ming for the surgeon, who would probably
make no better prescription, if present. /

THE PIPES AT LUCKNOW.


Pipes of the misty moorland,
Voice of the glen and hill,
The drone of highland torrent,
The song of the lowland rill!
Not the braes of bloom and heather,
Nor the mountains dark with rain,
Nor maiden bower, nor border tower,
Have heard your sweetest Strain!
Dear to the lowland reaper
And plaided mouhtaineer,
To the cottage and the castle,
The Scottish pipes are dear. -
Sweet sounds the ancient pibroch
Der mountain, loch, and glade;
But the sweetest of all music
The Pipes at Lucknow played!
Day by day the Indian tiger
Louder yelled, and nearer crept;
Round and round the Jungle serpent
Near and nearer circles swept,
"Pray for rescue, wives and mothers
Pray today the soldier said,
Tomorrow, deaths between us,
And the wrong and shame we dread"
Oh! they listened, looked and waited,
Till their hope became despair,
And the sobs of low bewailing
Filled the pauses of their prayer,
Then up spal1e Scottish maiden,
With her ear upon the ground:
stDinna ye hear it?-linna We hear it.
The pipes. O Havelock soundp'
flushed the wounded man his groaning;
flushed the wife her little ones;
Alone they heard the drum roll,
And the roar Of Sepoy guns.
But to sounds of home and childhood
The HIGHLAND ear was true:
"Dinna ye hear it ?-'tis the slogan!
Will we no believe it noor'
Like the march of soundless music
=. Through the vision of the seer,
More of feeling than of hearing,
OF the heart than of the ear, s
She knew the droning pibroch,
She knew the Campbell's call
."Hark hear We no MacGregor's-
- The grandest of them ALL"
Oh they listened, dumb and breathlcss,
And they caught the sound at last;
Faint and far beyond the Goomtee 80
Rose and fell the piper's blast!
Then burst of wild thanksgiving
Mingled woman voice and mans;
"God be praised-the march of Hayelock
The piping of the clans!"
Louder, nearer, fierce as vengeance,
Sharp and shrill as swords at strife,
Came the wild MacGregor's clan-call,
4. Singing all the air to life.
But when the far-oh dust-cloud
To plaided legiolis grew,
Full tenderly and blithesomeiy
The pipes Of rescue. blew
Round the silver domes of Lucknow,
y Round red Lowlah's golden shrine,
Breathed the air to .Britons dearest,
The air of "Auld Lang Syne.' -
: Ger the cruel roll of war-drums ..s
Rose that sweet and homelike strain,
And the tartan Glove. the turban,
AS the, Goomtee cleaves the plain.
Dear to the corn-land reaper,
And plaided mountaineer, ..-
TO the cottage. and the castle,
j The piper's song is dear. - i:a II .-
