New MODE OF IRRIGATIoY.-A canal or
ditch is being constructed for the purpose of
conveying the waters of Cache Creek to
Uacheville and vicinity, to be used for irri-
gating the soil. The Knights Landing
News says:
1t is well known that Cache Creek, at the
point where the canal taps it, Ito use com
mon expression of the day. "dries up late
in the summer season; consequently no wa
ter could be had at that time, We're it wanted;
but iu the spring of the gear the creek at-
fords an immense amount of water, really
sufficientto inundate the entire area of lard
lying between the creek and the Sacramento
to river; it is at that time that the company
propose TO furnish to the farmers quantity
of water sufficient to flood their entire farm
BY raising n small enlbankment around
their lands, say fourteen or sixteen inches
high, and the water furnished them from the
canal covering the entire tract TO the depth
OF eight or ten inches, or even more, and al
lowed to relnain on for two or three davs. at
the same time keeping up the supply until it
is Thoroughly soaked in, is ail Ghatis neces
sary for the season.

~ Never before in the State O

~ Never before in the State Of
Iowa, has q political campaign been
entered upon with that degree ofspiri,
and animation which 80 highly char.
acterizes the present. From ell sec
tions Of the State-the north, south,
east and west, we learn with gladness
OF the awakening of the lion hearted
democracy, and their struggle for sue
cess. The work Of organizing the
State has been pushed into the farthest
corners, and there is not a town.
village or district in the State that is
not cared for and looked after. Dem
ocratic speakers of great talent and
noble worth are canvassing the State
at large, and while they are thus con-
fronting the enemy, putting to rout
the ranks Of the opposition and dis
pensing light and truth to the people
at large, the lesser lights Of the party
are industriously engaged in the lAbors
allotted to them. No one Democrat
in the State can afford to be idle in
this great struggle Of principle against
fraud and no Democrat can remain
satis6ed with himself unless he exerts
his influence for the PRONUNCIATION of
the cause.
