OF fare stated the price of each article of food,
which was Of substantial rather than luxur-
Gus character. Good beef, ham, fowl, bread
and butter, were the principal kinds.
Unfortunately, some of the ice and water was
destroyed, or rendered unfit for use, soon after
being taken on board, so that those who had
the management of the ice and water depart
ment were, suppose, obliged to husband it
rather economically, i'll order that it might
hold ont. Nevertheless saw no time during
the trip but what myself and those of whom |
knew particularly could get what was really
necessary for use or to drink, after perhaps a
little delay. 1t would have been exceedingly
iniudicious to furnish it so freely that it might
have been wasted on such an occasion. And
whoever went on an exclusion doubtless knows
that some of the party are not very careful
about wasting whatever comes in their way
Of two things there was no lack-tobacco
and liquor and whoever has been among
New Workers knows that too many of them
will use these to an abominable excess. Of
course that portion of the party, early on the
trip, became disagreeaby boisterous Part of
them left the vessel at Cape May and returned
by some other route consequently l thought
the return sail was rather more quiet than the
sail out. lcouid not but think that the ships
officers, and even her crew. must acquire ideas
of American propriety, decorum, and courte
sy, not exactly credtable, from the specimens
exhibited upon the excursion TO Cape May.
All who went to see and learn something
OF the wonderful ship, returned gratitied in so
far as heard them express any opinion. AS
on all such occasions, there were some disaf-
fected ones. He who had any experience in
excursions need not be told, that such will al
ways be found on such occasions. To be sure
an Indignation meeting was held upon the
Great Eastern and several resolutions passed,
yet L think | am warranted i'll saying, that
they echoed the feelings and sentiments of but
a small minority of the party.
OF course those who have seen the state
ments in the New York papers have only to
put two things together, to understand what
all the severe, and unjust, and false, statements
therein made, mean. First thing the report
ers had to pay for everything they had and
fare no better THAI the rest OF the party on
board the ship Second thing the reporters
feel under extreme obligations to the propre-
tors of hotels and others at Cape May, for the
kind and generous treatment which they there
received (Which, being interpreted doubt
less means the reporters were fed and liquor
ed to safety at Cape May, gratis, with the ex-
pectation that they would give newspaper
putfneXt day in return.) These two things in
substance, if not in words, the reporters have
said in their reports OF the excursion. OF
course if they can puff any attentions which
they received above other people, they can
censure any treatment which they receive on
an equality with other people. z.M.B.

Mr.. LINCoLN's FoREsIGHT.-One of Mr.
Lncon's biographers relates an interesting
instance of his political sagacty. He had
triumphantly answered that set of interroga-
tories which Douglas calculated would crush
him, and had made up his mind that his an
tagonst should be presented with a collection.
His plan was to compel him, by public intcrro-
cation, to repudate either the bred Scott de.
cision or the doctrine of unfriendly legislation
in the territories. Before the discussion com.
menced at Freeport, Mr.. Lincoln informed his
friends of his intention. They unanimously
counselled him to abandon his purpose, 'tor"
said they, eff you put that question to him he
will perceive that an answer giving practical
force and effect to the bred Scott decision in
the territories inevitably loses him the battle,
and he will therefore reply by affirming the
decision as an abstract principle, but by deny
ing its practical application" But" said
Mr. Lincoln, eff he does that he can never be
president" His friends replied, "That is not
your lookout; you are after the SenatorShip."
''No, gentlemen" said he, 81 an killing larger
game. The battle of 1860 is worth hundred
Of this " From the day Mr.. Douglas pro-
mulgated his doctrine of "unfriendy legisa
ton" TO save himself in Illinois, he was
doomed man in the south, and the "battle in
1867 was won for the republicans, though
MIR. Lincoln of course could not know that lie
was to be their gallant leader.

Republican Meetings. citizens have
been pretty well supplied with political speak.
ing during the week past. Last Friday eve.
ming, Messrs. vASDEvER and SAxuELs, held
joint discussion, in Ovcrman's Hall, before
. large audience, composed of both parties,
and good sprinkling Of ladies. Mr.. SAxu.
ELS evidently labored under depression of
spirits, caused likely by the election returns,
just then fresh. His throat troubled him. and
as we heard it remarked, he acted just though
he had Pennsylvania in his throat We had
heard much of Mr.. SAxrELs' ability as a
stumper, and were prepared for something
much better than we got from him. His
speech was merely rehash of the long since
exploded and worn-out dogma Of Squatter
Sovcreignty,-"on only this and nothing more"
His only anxiety seemed to be how he could
worry through his time. The Republicans
had every reason to he satisfied with their
champion, who satisfactorily refutcd and an
swered every point made by his opponent
o. Monday evening last, Hon. JoHS Scorr,
of Story County, spoke to the Republicans of
this place. He is good speaker, full of hu-
NOR, and is doing . good work in the Repub-
lican cause.
Last Tuesday evening. Hon. c. C. NouRsE,
Republican candidate for Attorney General
spoke. His speech was one of the very best
we have heard delivered in our place this
fall. He is an excellent speaker.

OusaneSs.--IO any one possessing partl-
Gle Of observation it is very obvious that the
business of this place is now on the increase
in degree that must be very gratifying to
all persons interested in the prosperity Of Co.
dar Falls. The unparalleled harvest gathered
during the last two months, enormous to
profusion in every variety Of cereals known
to this latitude; the construction of two great
divcrging lines of railroad from our town, to
gether with moderate, though healthy and
substantial immigration, have all operated to
infuse renewed vigor into our business ele-
ment. A scope of country for hundred
miles north and east Of us pouring in upon
us its untold wealth Of grain, and demanding
in return those fabrics and productions of
other climcs. in such manner that our mer-
chants are scarcely able to meet the demands
made upon them.
And yet this has hardly commenced. The
grain that has a. yet sought this market, is
but as an atom to the amount that is yet to
come. The agricultural portion of our in
habitants are now on the high road to pros
perity; for years, short crops, in time of
commercial revulsion, has kept them poor and
needy; many lacked for the necessities of
life. while debt, without the means of cancel
ing. hung like an incubus upon them.
But now this is all changed; they have
enough and to spare. The luxuries, and
even necessities of life, that they have been
compelled heretofore to forcgo, in a great
measure, they arc now in situation to in
dulge in,-and no considerable amount will
it take to refurnish and replenish them
This is the reason why the harvest of 1860
is agoing to bring us trade the like of which
We have never seen before. The mercantile
business, however, is not the only one that
receives fresh impetus from this. state of
affairs. Every department of legitimate in
dustry in our midst seems to increase in pro-
portion as the Agriculturalist thrivcs,-and
this will be found to be true of every section
where the wealth and business of the country
depends upon its agricultural resources.
We have all heard the old saying, "A
good time is coming. boys" and now that it
has to all appearance got along our way A.
ter such tedious length of time, let us hope
to keep it. In time ofpeace prepare for war !;
in time Of plenty prepare for want instead
Of running wild over present good fortune !;
instead Of p.unging heels over head into debt
and speculation. bear in mind that the sun Of
prosperity may cease to shine upon you, that
the fearful crash Of 81 may come again as
unexpected as it did then. Be prudent and
thoughtful now, and when hard times"
come again, you will not be unprepared for
th:m.

Dr.. arnold not Dead!-W published an
extract few weeks since from the cores

that DR.. ARSoLD, formerly Of this place had
been murdered by the Indians, while on his
way to California. We are happy to be able
to state that the report was false. and that
the DR.. is alive and in good health, at Pixies
Peak. A party, not Of the Dr's though, were
murdered about the time he was on his jour.

to the report.
