VALEDICTOR Y.

With last weeks issue of this
paper my relations with the Plain
dealer ceased. During the SEEM
ingly short eleven weeks time of
which I have devoted to the best
intent and purpose to promote
the interest Of the reader, many
well-wishers have I found to give
the hand of friendship and a reas-
enable share of their gain to as
sist in the success of the Howard
county press. For these and many
other favors received at the hands
Of my friends and patrons, l re-
turn my most sincere thanks, and
cannot but hold myself under
many obligations for your kind
favors.-But my vacancy in the
publication of your paper will be
promptly filled by the present
publishers, assisted by my old and
tried friend w. r. Mead, one in
whom l feel in no way at loss in
placing within his charge the res.
possibility resting upon me as to
the regular visitation of your
county organ. Adieu.

GEN JONES PRESENTS HIS
CREDENTIALS. ..-.


Bogota dates of Sept. %, say
that Gen. Jones, the American
Minister to New Granada, present
ed his credentials to President o.
pima and had his official audience
on the %, Of August.
Gen. Jones, in his usual happy
way, after extending the usual
compliments, and wishes as to sus-
tanning the relations Of amity be-
tween the U. S. and that country
concluded as follows:
It was, sir, with the greatest reluct-
ance that I consented, at the earnest
entreaty of my family, my relatives and
friends, to accept this mission, so unex-
pectedly conferred upon me, (but which
above all others I preferred however,)
after had orally and in writing declin-
ed it. I felt that I required repose, af-
ter having filed, for quarter of a CEN
fury, many Of the most arduous, res
ponsible and honorable positions as a
public man in my own country. But
other circumstances, which I did not at
first foresee, and the advice of my ply
stefan, prevailed. With heavy heart
I took leave Of my beloved wife, chill
dren, friends and country to come here
and reside among the good people Of
Bogota.
From the moment when my foot first
touched the soil of New Granada, on
the 10th day Of May last, up to the
present time, I have been daily the re-
cipient at the hands of the people of
your country Of acts Of kindness, Of gen.
crosby, Of hospitality and Of honor, such
as had scarcely ever been extended to
me before, even in my own country,
though often favored, honored and trust
ed by that country beyouud my merits.

The Harpcr's Ferry Instruction

AS there is general anxiety to be
informed of all the particulars attending
this affair, we occupy large space this
morning with detailed account of a con-
versation between Brown and other
parties with reference to it. 1t comes
through Republican source the Cincin-
natti Gazette, and of course Brown is
treated as leniently as possible and the
most favorable construction placed upon
his motives and actions. The Repubi-
cans excuse BRowN upon the ground
of insanity. 1t will be noted, however,
from his own admissions that the
scheme which he attempted has been
long contemplated. For ten years, at
least, he has entertained the idea of lib
Grating the slaves in the Southern
States by servile instruction. His
testimony shows the cool and calculating
man. If reckless in the execution of
his plans, he is cautious enough not to
betray or implicate his aiders and
abettors. His scheme failed, he thinks,
from his having precipitated it, while
the delay ola few days would have made
it formidable. Ifcrazy, he represents
large class in the North who are laboring
under the same mental alterations and
Authorizations, And who are response
BILE for the acts of these crazy men, as
the Republicans now term them? What
arc the doctrines which the leaders OF
the Republican party have endeavored
to impress upon the people of the free
States? Let us recapitulate the senti-
ments Of few of these men, who stand
as the representatives of that party
What says WILLIAM H. SEWARD?
*+'"It Slavery can and must be
abolished, and you and must do it. =
= Correct your own error that slavery
has constitutional guarantees which
may not be released, and ought not to be
relinquished. You will soon bring
the parties of the country into an effect
i've aggression upon slavery"
What says Senator WADE?
There is really no union now between
the North and South, and he believes
no two nations upon the earth entertain
feelings of more bitter rancor toward
each other than these two nations of
the Republic. The only salvation of
the Union, therefore, was to be founded
in divesting it entirely from all faint Of
slavery,

ERAsTUs HOPKINS, said:

driven to the last extremity where bal
lots are useless, then we'll make bullets

McGregor friends in the road
contemplated from their city west.
But an important matter for their
company to consider, is whether
their road shall tend after leaving
the city. 1t seems to us that the
project of running their road
south of this county and in the
direction Of Sioux City, must be
fatal to its success. We have on
ly to look at the soil, the popula-
ton, and the natural advantages
Of the country through which
they must pass, to decide against
that route. Besides when they
have made ten miles west, they
are then upon the bluff and to
pass by the way they have here
tofore projected the road, is to en-
ter into endless difficulties with
out any present, or it seems to us,
prospective hope of reward for
the reasons above assigned.
But let them adopt a north
west course and they are running
upon the elevation after having
gained it, and in the direction of
the richest agricultural country
west of the Mississippi.
Besides this, they will, in rum
ming in the direction of the bend
of St. Peters, tap the Cedar Val
ley Road at point directly in
line with their present road now
in operation from Milwaukee to
Prairie Du Chen, and instead of
permitting the tide of travel and
business to be diverted from them
will receive the benefit of over
1900 miles of railroad in Mime
sofa. This course brings the road
through via. of DEBORAH, which
is the natural outlet to the rich
agricultural county of Fillmore in
Mimi, and the unsurpassed agri-
cultural wealth of Winneshiek
county; and further on, it takes
this place in its course, which like
DEBORAH is the natural outlet to
the country northwest of it.
It needs population somewhat
dense to sustain a railroad, and
by comparing that of the coun-
ties upon this line with those up
on the southern route must salts
fly any candid mind of the feast
bility Of the northern route and
the utter impractibility of the 9TH
er.
This is a magnificent enterprise
and embracing within its scope as
it does, not only the future of
McGregor but of the northwest,
should command all our energies.

country we have travelled upon
all sides and within sight of
Usage, but never until last week
stepped within its limits.
We admit that the surprising
loneliness of the town was far be-
yond our anticipations. Accus-
toned to hear the town spoken
of disparagingly, we were pre-
pared to see a town site lily cho-
sen and the plat worse designed.
Imagine our surprise then, Oh
entering the town to find that from
its center for a distance Of three
to five miles was a gentle descent
in all directions. On the north
and northeast, east and south
east the prairie extends away for
the distance of five to eight miles
in unrivalled beauty, while up
on the west, northwest and south
west the town is skirtcd by one
of the most lovely groves, extend
ing away into the dense forest,
that it has been our fortune to
look upon for many years.
This prairie land is almost un-
equaled in productiveness, as was
attested sufficiently by the numer-
Gus ricks Of grain, raising their
smiling heads about the quiet
homestead of the unobstrusive far
mer, while the abundance of fine
water, and the inexhaustible sup
ply of timber points to an unmis-
taxable future of wealth and pros
perity to its people.
Upon the Cedar river adjoining
town, are two choice mill seats,
we'll improved.
The streets are wide, and cross
ing each other at right angles, ia
ken in connection with it's lovely
location, is destined to make it
one of the best inland towns in
northern Iowa. Its public build
ings equal those of any county in
the State almost.
Its fine Court House cost $685.
900 and is a model of it's kind;
while their Jail which is nearly
completed cost Sl2,5Oo and will
probably equal any in the State.
In addition to this, the energy
and enterprise Of the people has
already completed one of the best
school houses in northern Iowa,
having primary department for
the youth and a high school for
those more advanced. The Meth
odists and Congregationalists have
each a church in a forward state,
both fine structures and well wor-
thy the pride of the people.-Of
hotels there are two: the Usage,
and the Union House-the latter
kept by F. Hess, is an excellent
house, kept by a model landlord.
Schellenger & Munson, and
Munson & Pierce, are receiving
lots of new goods.
In walking through thei,
stores we were surprised that SO
short advertisements should be re-
quired to herald so large an a.
mount of goods.
Also S. Herrick's, Geo. Eck's,
and J. S. LAWYERS stores are all
jambed full. Getting cold, eh!-
we'll then go to Sturgis and buy
a new stove. He has them that,

lied the necessity for a railroad
that they do now. On every hand
they see the fruits of the husband
man in luxurious abundance, and
everywhere do bitter complaints
arise that there is stagnation in
the market, rendering the pro-
ducts of the farm comparatively
of but little value. Now how is
this crying evil to be remedied,
and when? 10 these questions
there can be but one answer, and
that is, that we can only hope for
relief from a general prostration
in price of farm products on the
advent of the Iren horse in our
midst.
Our readers will not under
stand us as assuming that the
the completion Of such an enter
prise is to~increase the quantity Of
the sscirculating medium" in our
midst, for such is not our position.
But we hold that by reducing the
expenses necessarily incurred, now,
in getting. our grain to market,
brings us nearer to that market,
in the ratio that these expendi-
lures are reduced. In other words,
it makes money plenty by bring
ing the market to our doors, in
stead of compelling our agricul-
,turists to leave their plows, to
seek in vain for a mart in which
to dispose of their surplus produce
at paying figures.
Although the farmer may see'a
ray of hope beaming in the future,
still the question arises to him, as
to when these bright prospects, of
a prosperous future are to be re-
allied. It seems to us that the
handwriting is already before us
in unmistakable characters, de-
handing the early commencement
and speedy completion of the rail-
road leading west from McGre-
gor. And among the strong ap-
peals, this work presents to the
attention of the railroad company,
is the almost unlimited quantity
of grain and the endless numbers
of cattle to be transported to mar
ket over such a road. Here, we
see is one of the great and imper-
alive inducements to build the
road-an almost inexhaustible
supply of freight for transmission
over it when completed, with ev-
cry assurance that a rich and rap
idly settling country can give that
the supply will increase instead
of diminish.
Another reason why the work
must be resumed and pushed for.
ward to completion, is, that not
/. only the very life of the Milwau'
kee and Mississippi R. r. depends
upon the extension Of its line in.
to this State, but that our river
towns, McGregor and Prairie Du
Chen, to retain the trade Of these
northwestern counties, must ex'
ert themselves for the early com
pletion of the extension of tina
road west; besides, now is theil
time to do SO, for if the Cedar
Valley Road shall be completed

in its behalf to such an extent AZ
to cripple the energies Of ou,

other property destroyed, on Mon
day last by the carelessness Of
stage driver in setting fire to
the prairie. The fire was set out
about a mile from the premises
where the damage was done, but
so strong was the breeze, that in
less than ten minutes it had ran
that distance and enveloped the
whole in Hames.-The stables and
granary had been burned around
for rejection to the distance of
eight or ten rods.
The fire was set out by Hiram

as to which shall be first on the
