The trial Of J. II. Show, formerly
Postmaster at the town OF Anamosa'
in Jones county, upon the first OF e'cS
en- indictments which were pending
against him, commenced IN The h''ei
States District Court, at Dubuque, on
Tuesday OF last week. Mr.. Show had
occupied the position OF postmaster Tor
some time, and it is charged that
nreyious to the seventh Of October last
he distracted from the Post Once
eleven registered letters, and approprl-
ated their contents to his own nse.-
Judge Knapp, United States District
Attorney for the State Of Iowa, APP
peared for the prosecution, and Hon.
Ben NJ. SamucIs and Judge Mann for
the defense. The charge upon the
first Indictment was, that he had appro
priated registered letter directed to
II. s. Gourtz, Carrolton, Carol Co,
Iowa, which was deposited in the
Post Office on the seventh day OF
October last. The present Postmaster,
Mr.. A. II. Pcaslec, brought with him
the records of the office in the hand
writing of the prison'~, and showed
the receipt FOR the letter on the day
charged in the indictment. A Mr..
Brainard, then in the employ of the
prisoner, proved that MIR, Shaw, the
writer of the letter, came to the Post
Office, and after stating that he desired
to send some money to Carrolton, sat
down and wrote letter in which he en-
closed the money, and afterwards
deposited it in the Post Office, and
also that the letter was in the desk OF
the defendant until some three or four
DAYS before his arrest. DR.. Blakesly
testified that the last witness had
exhibited the detained letters to him as
there might be trouble and the charge
might be brought agains. HIM.
The defence proved by number of
witness that the defendant took the
detained letters to Dubuque within a
few days after their reception, and
declared on his way there, that he
desired to see Col. Heath ald mail
them, and that after his a..lgal at
Dubuque he declared similar inten-
ton, which he was prevented from
carrying out by his arrest. The result
in the case, which occupied, two days
in the trial, was verdict of acquittal.
After the conclusion ofthc trial, the
District Attorney moved for continu-
ance up IN the other indictments, AS the
procuring of a jury would now be inn
possible. After considerable Argument
all of the indictments except three
were dismissed. The tIial upon the
remaining indictments was continued
until the next term of the Court.

The lDsknlOOsa Railroad Convention.

On the twenty sixth day of the
present month, the celebrated Oska-
loosa Railroad Convention, to which
we have before referred, will be held.
The ostcnsiblc object Of the convention
is the consolidation of all the railroad
interests and influences of the Dcs
MONIES Valley, for the purpose of de-
vislng plan and maturing the neccs-
sary means for speedy completion of a
railroad from DesMoincs via Oskaloosa
to the Mississippi river, but the real
purpose Is to divert the influence of the
DesMoines Valley from other railroad
projects, in which they have been be-
fore interested, and concentrate all their
labors and the whole of their aid, to as
sist in the construction of the Burlnm
ton and Missouri River Road. Like the
keokuk road, although perhaps not to
the same extent, the Burlington road
has become embarrassed. 1t is unable
to prosecute its work or to Law another
rod of iron, and the necessity stares
them in the face of doing something to
save their land grant, and this conven.
ton is the result of their desperate
schemirg. The project, We understand
at first met with the very general APP
probation Of the people Of DcsMoines
who are, of course, anxious to procure
railroad facilities; but when it became
apparent that the disintercsted project
for the benefit of the DcsMoincs Val.
ley, was intended for the benefit Of the
Burlington road, to the exclusion Of al
other roads centering at the city O
DesMoines, the unanimity Of the peo
pie gave place to universal contention
The county Of Polk will probably be
represented by a full delegation in the
Convention, and resolutions will bt
adopted and measures proposed, entire
lyin accordance with the wishes of the
Burlington folks; but they will be by
no means representation of the senti
ments OF the ma ority of the people O
tnat county, and any attempt to diver,

voted to other roads, will be failure

Pow ERTY NOT so GREAT A CURSE.

IF there is anything in the world that a
young man should be more grateful for
than another, it isthe poverty which neces-
states his starting in life under very great
disadvantages Poverty is one of the best
tests of human quality in existence. A
triumph over it is like graduating with
nonor from West Point. 1t demonstrates
stuff and stamina 1t is certificate of
worthy labor creditably performed A
young man who cannot stand this test is
not good for anything. He can never rise
above drudge or pauper. A young
man who cannot feel his will harden as the
yoke of poverty presses upon him, and his
pluck rise with every difficulty that power
ty throws in his way, may as well retire
into some corner and hide himself. Pow
ty saves thousand times more men than
it ruins for it only ruins those who are
not particularly worth saving, while it
saves multitudes of those whom wealth
would have ruined. If any young man
who reads this letter is so unfortunate as
to be rich, | give him my pity. | pity

sort of thing makes you mean, and Injuries

OUR TRENTON LETTER.

TRENTON, Nov. 25 1859.
Mr.. EDITOR: The people of Trenton,
though not so far advanced in progress as
some of the cities of the confederacy of
these States, have some interesting marks
of improvement
There are two churches-the Mount
Zion, "a. M. E. and the st. Johns, (W.
N.Y. The latter has not very large con-
gregation, partly on account of its locality
and partly on account of its size The
other having been recently rebuilt, has the
advantage, both in size and location, and
consequently is much better attended.
There are also two Lodges of Free and
Accepted Masons, two benevolent societies
one male and the other female Cor
poration School, averaging from 80 to 40
scholars daily.
Until very recently there was no colored
boarding house, though two of our hotel
keepers have always willingly, believe,
accommodated respectable eolored persons.
We now have one of our own, kept Mr. S.
Vandergrife.
In occupation also we are showing some
signs of improvement. There are two res
taurants kept here, one of which (Mr. j.
Boardley's) is kept with considerable taste,
furnishing all the delicacies of the season
in manner that would be creditable, even
in your metropolis There is also clo-
thier among us, who furnishes us with
clothing of the latest fashion at the short
est notice. We have also "Patent-Safe
Pictured Frame, Glass-Case" manufacturer
who at our last Agricultural Fair was
awarded a premium. In addition to these
there are those among us employed in all
the usual avocations accessible to us. /
do not think that our city furnishes any
thing like proportion of mechanics, though
| believe we have one founder and one
| baker here.
The Trenton Debating Association is
the only society here that has anything OF
a literary character about it. Every win
ter, about the time the State Legislature
organizes, it opens, and closes about the
time the Legislature adjourns. The object
of the Association is to discuss questions o.
religious or moral import, in manner thai

may impart useful information to the mo,
bers, and at the same time draw ont y
latent ability, or talent, that may be stun
bering among us.
There is a considerable amount of re,
estate held by our people in this CITY
though not so much as in some of the ri,
ces in which | have resided, and there ar
some highly respected members of thi
community who, having resided man
years in this place, have established fo
themselves high standing in public opn
ion, and also opened the way for Others.
Having briefly introduced ourselves f
your notice | shall strive hereafter to in
form you of the Incidents occurring anon
