EEConsiderable activity prevailed
in town yesterday, the streets being crowded
with teams and people from the country.
We conversed with several Of our farmers
and find that notwithstanding the outrage
Gus weather we have had this spring. they
are by no means discouraged. They say
that large proportion Of the grain is in the
ground and their only fear is that the late
frosts may have injured it. II this should
be the case. they will have to re-sow the
ground, but as many Of them are without
seed, it will be rather hard on them. We
sincerely trust that no such i'll luck may
befall them, IS 1t is TO this portion Of our
community that We must look for return
Of good times.

EDITOR OF BURLINGTON HAw1-EYE:-


At meeting of the citizens of Agency City
held on the Odd of February, 1859, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, together with a
motion that the papers in Burlington and OF.
tumwa be requested to publish the same:
Resolved, That we hereby express our decided
contempt for the course pursued BY the Dele
gates tram Ottumwa, (seli styled Delegates
fro m Wapello County, at the recent Railroad
Convention held at Oskaloosa
Resolved, That we cordially endorse and ap-
prove the two final resolutions, tthose offered o
NJ. NJ Lane,) which were adopted at a meeting
OF citizens OF this County held at Dalonega on
the 18th instant
Resolved, That we higl y applaud the course
pursued al said Dalonega Meeting by Capt c.
Franklin, who, notwithstanding that he is a eiti-
zen of Ottumwa, and that therefore his merely
local interests may be supposed to be mainly
idehuhed with that place, yet possesses the
lberality that enables him 10 see, aud the gem
crosby that suffers him to admit, that there are
within the limits of Wapel!o County some lands
and some inhabitants, that are nevertheless out
side OF the boundaries of 0ttumwa. We hold
his course to have been bosi. manly and honor
able
Resolved. That we have confidence in the
wisdom and integrity of Judge Flint that in
regard TO issuing, or Will holding issue of the
County Bonds, he viii be governed by law ard
his own convictions of duty, Without respect
to outside pressure in either direction and
that no more can reasonably he expected Of
him by any party.
Resolved, That We tender TO the citizens OF
Burlington our sincere congratulations at the
good time coming" Of which they have nov
the hatterlng prospect, and to which their
energy and industry in pushing their noble Rail

arrested by officer Rey nolds with search war

pockets were searched. The officer then pro

respondenee, including let ers ironi his vile

The object appeared TO be 10 ascertain the
names OF the parties engaged in having Pine

After careful reading OF Martins letters the
parties proceeded to the room OF Mr.. Chandler,
particular friend Of Senator Douglas, and there
overhaaled his private correspondence. 20 day

SENATOR DOUGLAS DESCRIBED FOR ENGLISH
READERs.-Ihe New York correspondent of the
London News draws the following picture OF the
Senator from Illinois:
douglas is IL some respects an excellent
specimen Of the American stli-made man, but
IN Others an execrab!e one, and notable in his
manners aud personal appearance. lie began
lite, as you probably know, as a iourne man
cabinet maker, having entered Chicago, oil which
he is now one OF the weaiGhie.t citizens. with
one shilling in his pocket, and a spare shit
wrapped up in pocket handkerchief He
boasts Of this constantly in his stump speeches
tells how his old "boss," or MASTER Thought he
exceiled most III bureaus, though his chairs W, re
not SO bad either" and as many other anec
dotes OF the same sort as he can scrape togeth-
er, in order to bring more wildly before Tie
minds Of his audience the extent OF his rise. Tn
fortunately, however, he Gid not change his
manners and habits with his position, and unt
his late marriage, was notorious for the badness
of his clothes, aud the general sloyenliness, MOI
to say dirtiness OF his appearance, in addition
to which he eXceled in the art of splitting. His
marriage has, however, effected, to some extent.
an external reform; but he can never look
worthy o!his honors. He is short, stout. un-
gainly, coarse featured and very ret-faced. and.
in fact, is the least person III the world whon,
an American, sensitive about appearances, would
like to have put forward as specimen of tie
United States Senator. In these respects, as
well as in the general style of his oratory, be
offers an unfavorable contrast to most OF the
'selEmade' men of the New England States, who
all take much finer polish in pushing their
way up, and have generally been preserved BIZ
the austerity Of Puritan education from con
tracing the striking grossress Of habits ana de-
meanor by which nearly all the Western politi-
clans are characterized.n
