raising Corn in Iowa, which was circula

also the replies thereto. The whole re-
port is too long for our columns. 1t car

some remarks upon the replies, which arc
of interest at thi, time, when we have
had cur corn crop severely injured by an
untimeiy frost. lie says:
From the above, it appears that the
average product per acre, is fraction
less than 81 bushels the average pro.
duction Of 1857, ois; average produc.
ton for the crops 1858, a fraction less
than - bushels. There are few in
which the year Of production is not re.
ported. The average time of ripeniug,
As far as reported, is Al months from
time of planting; the Flint varieties,
which embrace about3 5,hs of the seed
planted, ripeued in about four mouths,
aud the Gourd Seed varieties in about
five months. Average production Of the
Gourd Seed varieties Is 4 fraction less
than 50 bushels per acre of the flint va
rieties is fraction over IN bushels per
acre. From which i: appsrs that whilst
the Flint varieties average in product,
only 81 bushels less per acre, they hay
the enormous advantage Of ripeuiug in
one month less time than those of the
Gourd Seed family.

Cen. Dodge and Cuba.


Gen. Dodge has very emphatically de-
clared himself in. favor Of Slidelrs tnba
Bill, by which thirty millions Of dollars
were 10 be placed in the hands Of that
incorruptible patriot JAS Buchanan, for
negotiations looking to the purchase OF
Cuba. Had he been in Congress, che
would by his own words have warmly
sustained this measure. Indeed, THERE'S
nothing the President or the Slave Pow.
er might have demanded at his hands, he
would not freely and cheerfully accorded.
Now here is Senator Broderick's opinion
of this Slidell bill, and Brodcrick is a
good Democrat from California. In a
late speech he thus charged upon Sepa-
tor Gwin, the other Democratic Senator,
and it shows harmony:
81 here accuse DR.. Gwin, of having
been the PAID agent of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. [Tumultuous cheer
ing, and cries Of That's true!' and by
Cd, we all know it n"
g l also accuse him of having support
ed the thirty million secret fund bill,
when he knew it was the intention to
use that money as corruption fund, in
order to carry the next Presidential cleo
ton Great shouting and cries Of split
on him ! split on him j either to elect
Jimmy Buchanan or Mr.. SlideIl, Of
Louisiana, with whom he co-operated in
| the United States Senate"
In Senator Davis late speech to the
Democracy of Mississippi, he urged the
acquisition of Cuba upon many grounds
and among others, for the reason that Tho
Island would be of paramount import
ance to the Southern Confederacy, when,
ever that shall &c formed, and its forma
ton he seems to regard as almost newt
able. This is the kind of company ir
which our Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor drills. --Dav Ga
