means Of transportation, after the sys-
tenn Of railroads crossing the State
from east to west shall have been
completed
The smaller streams which drain the
state Of Iowa may be divided into
two systems, one of which comprises
the rivers emptying into the Missis-
sippi and the other those which run
into the Missouri. Much the larger
part of the State is watered by afllu-
ents Of the former river. This will
be seen at once by reference to map
Of the State of Iowa, on which is des-
ignated the watershed, or divide be-
tween the streams flowing into the
the two great rivers which form the
eastern and western boundaries Of the
State.
These two systems of rivers run
nearly at right angles with each other,
those falling into the Mississippi hav-
ing a course from northwest to south
east nearly, while those which empty
into the Missouri run towards the
southwest except along the south
crn border of the State, where they
have nearly south course. This
would indicate the existence Of two
sets of textures or fractures, at right
angles to each other, as having deter
mined the course Of the drainage Of
the State. There is no evidence OF
actual fractures having -" - :; :,

angles to this. The existence of these
two lines of elevations or Textures
may be traced over great extent of
surface, in Missouri, Nebraska, and
Minnesota.

IIcrOd and PLATE.

\ Washington letter writer says
that for some days negotiations have
been going on there, between the
chiefs of the Buchanan Democracy and
those of the Douglas wing of the par
ty, including Mr. Douglas himself,
broadly foreshadowing the following
Presidential programme First, the
reunion Of the two factions, upon
compromise on the question of slave
ry in the territories, which will leave
the exclusive supervision of the sub
,ject to the Supreme Court the right
of the Southern people to settle in the
territories, with their slave property,
remaining as affirmed by the bred
Scott decision. Second, two National
Democratic Conventions in 1860, the
work of the Charleston Convention to
be limited to the reunion Of the par
ty upon a new platform. The second
convention, in this event, will proba-
bly, be fixed for September, and will
be held in the city of New York. BY
that time the chiefs of the party will
have discovered their most available
candidate, and the weak points on the
enemys lines.
Upon this subject the New York
Times has the following:
1--WE have from Washington rumors
of negotiations" in progress, by
which existing differences i'll the Dem
ocsatic party are to be healed. Mr.
Douglas himself is there, and has
been joined by quite a number of his
personal and political friends from Hi
nois. Some Of the men whom the
President elected from office upon Mr.
Douglas detection are also at the cap
ital, waiting probably to have their
wounds healed. The Presidents spe-
cial organ, the Constitution, gives a
sign of a modification of the Demo
cratic Platform, evidently dictated by
the Executive for the purpose of moli-
flying the Illinois Senator, and paving
the way for restoration Of the statu
quo ante bellum. The state in which
things were before the war!

War! War; War;

All Europe is a-blazc with constcrna-
ton. War, for so long a time playing
fast-and-loose with probability, now
seems inevitable. France and Austria
are prepared and resolute. England
and Prussia are thoughtfully contcm-
plating the scene. The money-markct
grows tight. France is fifty millions
of dollars in arrears. Austria is in a
still worse condition. Russia is out
for loan Of sixty millions. Sardinia
wants twenty-five more. India asks
the home government for twenty-five

Agriculture and war cannot thrive

The Dubuque Herald in abiding to
the European War, says:
The people of the Italian Duclics
under the dominion of Austria, and
the inhabitants of the other States Of
Italy, have been sorely oppressed by
their rulers. Bomba, of Naples, has
become VIGOROUSLY infamous for his
acts of cruelty and tyranny, and even
some of the best educated men in the
States of the Church have found it
necessary to leave their native land
on account of their political opinions.
Many thousands of those expatriatcd
liberals from the various States of
that peninsula have sought Sardinia
as a place of refuge. They have been
welcomed there, and some twenty
thousand of them have been enrolled
in what is termed THE free corps Of
Naiion rolun,eers," and trained toBe
excellent marksmen.
This corps-a little army of itself
is regarded as the most effective and
reliable wing of the Sandman army,
and its existence has been looked upon
by Austria with great suspicion. She
has even taken offence at it. She has
alleged that the conduct of Sardinia,
in showing friendship to the exiles,
implies a tacit condemnation of the
policy of Austria. That in this Sar.
dina has shown hostile disposition
which she must atone for by disband,
ing those troops of Italian volun,
tccrs" and reducing her own army
proper.
1t is not pretended that Sardinia, OF
her corps Of enrolled cxilcs, have com,
mittcd any hostile act The secret
trouble with Austria is that the cXpa-
trated subjects of her despotism have
found an asylum in a neighboring
government. And for this reason she
makes war upon the State that harbors
them. The conduct of Austria, in
this case is good illustration of the
fable of the wolf and the lamb.

prescriptions for about six months, and found
that instead of getting better we grew worse
and worse and, finally, the children were
covered with running sores over the whole

before we had one-half of it used, we were all
well. l had spent over one hundred dollars

Root Crops.

MEssRs. EDs.--Will you allow me
little space to remind farmers and 9TH
ers of the great value of Carrots, Tur-
nips, Bects, &c, for feeding horses,
cattle and sheep in winter, and that
mar is Just the time to make arrange
mcnts for good supply Of one or
more of the above named root crops.
Carrots are perhaps the most valua-
bic, and where the soil is deep, rich
and we'll pulverized, most easily
raised-sometimes not costing more
than five cents per bushel. A few
quarts daily fed to mich cows will
cause a large increase in the quantity
and quality of milk. A similar guam
tity fed to horse will prove of equal
or even greater value than so much
grain-I mean in addition to a GER
tain quantity of grain-and what is
Of far greater moment, animals so fed
will be much less likely to be ailing
and unfit for service. 1t is a we'll
known fact that it is entirely unnatn,
raj for domestic animals to live OK.
clusively upon dry tood, and as hay
and grain arc usually fed to stock
with us. To me the greatest wonder
is that animals so fed do not oftcner
die-and they frequently do as it is
from arrangement of the digestive or.
gans. Every person who has horse
or cow and Il garden, as most have or
can have, ought to raise at least a
dozen bushels Of vegetables from the
same, and when it is once observed
with what seeming gratitude an ami
nal receives them during the win
ter, future arguments in favor Of i'll
creased root culture will not be neces.
sary with thinking Iowa farmers. 5.

Education.

1t has often occurred to us as a re-
markable fact that education is sub
jcct so much neglected in an age so
absorbed in improvements generally.
1t is not education to send child to
school merely, for that will train his
intellect, not form his principles. 1t
is not education to cram him with four
times as much as he can hold, for that
is treating him like the boy Franklin
tells of, who, having his hands full of
apples, graspcd after more, and so
lost all. 1t is not education to put
him at parsing almost before he can
spell, for ut that agchc cannot analysc,
and analysis of the language is the
Alpha and Omega of true grammar,
1t is not education to teach him all
s2rts Of frivolous apd useless branches
! of learning, for hundred to one he
has his way TO make in the world, and
will need all the available knowledge
he can acquire. Finally, it is not edu-
cation, if the child is a girl, to bring
her up as if marriage was the sole OBJ
icct of life, so that she need only &C
quirc the accomplishments that dazzle,
not the household virtues that delight
Education is the training a child
morally, physically and intellectually,
the bestowing on it such knowledge
as will be most useful to it in after
life, lind the imparting that knowledge
in the most thorough manner. In that
single sentence the whole circle of
education, according to our notion, is
embraced. We might enlarge upon
it'll several parts almost without limit !;
but we prefer to set it before our read
ers in the fcwest words possible, that
they may mentally digest it for them
selves. We rank moral education
first, because, without principles, a
smart man is but the greater rascal !;
nevertheless moral and intellectual
education are closely connected, the
latter materially assisting the former.
Moral education must be principally
impaired at home, where the child's
temper is best understood, and where
affection and discipline, if the pursuits
are proper ones, go hand in hand.
Physical education is necessary to the
future health Of the child, without
such learning is nearly useless, and
even wealth no blessing. Lastly, it
is the thorough man, not the superb,
cial one, who succeeds in life A man
had better know one thing well, than
twenty things indiflercntly.
BY similar principles should the
education of girls be guided. But as
their duties and position are different,
so should be the kind of knowledge
| impaired the true rule is that girls
should be educated to make useful
wives and mothers, and not to be bellies
or nirts. If parents would educate
their children on these principles, it
would be better than giving them a
fortune, for happiness and competence
would be theirs almost certainly
throughout life.

The West Union Review says " a
move is being made by the Rcpubli-
cans to nominate G. A. Ncwcomb,
Esq, of this place for the Office of
Lieut.. Governor If such is the case,
we presume Mr.. Newcomb's chances
are as good as any ones for we have
heard no one mentioned that would
be likely to fill the office with more
credit than he. In the matter of can
vassing the State, he would do good
service for, as speaker, he has but
a few superiors in the State"
Should 1t. Gov. Favillc decline to
run again, we know of no better or
more suitable candidate to succeed
him than Judge Ncwcomb, but until
Mr.. Faville declines, positively and
unequivocally, over his own name, it
will be folly TO bring forward other
candidates /; for there is no one better
qualified for the position, or who en-
joys more the confidence and esteem
of the citizens of Iowa, especially the
Republican portion, than Hon. Oran
Favillc. We hope he will not with
draw, but will allow his name to 90
before the Convention at Des Moines,
and that Lowe and Favile will again
be the standard bearers of the Rcpub-
licans in the next campaign. No
stronger men can be put in the field.
