that writer makes some incorrect statements
in regard to the prevalence of the disease in
this state, last year For instance, he states
positively that "the whole" of the Brookfield
"big team" had the disease and that directly
or indirectly this epizotic proved fatal to near
ly one thousand head of cattle in Massachu-

said will lead most readers to suppose that SO

Thy error, Fremont, simply was TO act
A plain mans part without the statesman's TACT
And. taking counsel but of common sense,
To strike at cause as well as consequence
So take thou courage God has spoken through
thee,
Irrevocable, the mighty words, Be Free!
The land shakes with them, and the slaves dull ear
Turns from the rce-feld stealthiy to hear.
Who would recall them now must first arrest
The winds that blow down from the free Northwest
Ruilng the gulf; or like a scroll, roll back
The Mississippi to his upper springs
Such words fulfil their prophecy, and lack
But the full time to harden into things. j. O. W.
JOHN G. BREcKINRIDGE ON THE WING
We learn from Mt. Sterling, that on Friday
morning about four o'clock, a buggy contain
ing two gentlemen and a negro boy, passed
through that town, stopping for few minutes
at the house of an ex official, and took the
state road toward the Virginia line. Several
gentlemen met the buggy on the road. One
OF the travellers was closely mufiled, and when
ever they were about meeting any one, the
negro raised himself so as to cover the muf.
fled figure. One of the secessonsts in Mt.
Sterling revealed the tact on Friday that John
c. Breckenridge had gone through on his way
to Virginia or Tennessee. Lincoln's "Hessian
cloak" is forever eclipsed now. The ex-offi-
cial, at whose house the travellers called, was
not in Mt, Sterling on Friday night num-
Der OF the State Guard stole portion of the
state arms on Friday, after dark, and started
on the road the buggy had taken. Perhaps
they accompanied Breckenridge and his com
panion as Il body guard.-LouiSrW Journal,

Dyspepsia.

This is very distressing complaint, aud
gives the patient more su ffering than almost any
other disease; in fact, it is a combination of
many complaints in one. The symptoms are
numerous, and are of the nature of almost all
other complaints combined. From this fact
arise the very many cases where this disease is
mistaken for some other, and so Improperly
treated The first mptoms-indigestio flat
ulency, loss of appetite, headache, etc, if ne
elected, almost always awaken some dormant
disease, and send the poor sufferer to prema-
ture grave. What you must first do is cleanse
the blood and regulate the bowels do this with
the Mountain Herb Pills. and you can bid de-
fance to dyspepsia.

Meeting.

Meeting.
~ On Thursday night last, Mr.
THos. G. JONES, of Dubuque, delivered
a speech in this place, at Morse's Hall,
giving a detailed account of his expert
ence at the South. Although but half a
days notice was given, the large hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity, there
being quite as many ladies as gentlemen.
Mr.. JONES was introduced by the chair
man. DR.. BARrLE. and spoke for an hour
and half, and was listened TO with UNI
divided attention throughout. He gave
a very graphic and forcble picture of the
reign Of terror existing at the South, de-
failing several instances which came un
der his observation Of the most inhuman
treatment and murder Of northern men at
the hands of vigilance comm ittees, for
no cause other than suspicion Of sym
patty for the old flag and the Union. He
gave instances of the impressment of men
into the Southern army, aud detailed his
own experience. which certainly showed
an admirable degree Of shrewdness on
his part. His account Of Southern atroc-
tiles. unProvoked. were enough to fire
the heart and nerve the arm of the calm
est, to revenge. We wish few Of those
hereabouts who profess to love their
{" Southern brethren" 30 much had bad
the courage to come out and hear it. We
think . large moiety Of their affection
would have then and there been swal-
lowed up in Indignation.

Wheat.
LEI Wheat is now selling in our
streets at 50@55 cents, for gold or notes
of the State Bank of Iowa. 1t will bring.
however, in Illinois wildcat, from 60 to
IS cents. 1t certainly would be better
for our farmers to refuse the latter money
altogether. If they will do so they will
enable our merchants to drive the miser.
able stuff from circulation, an attempt
which they are now making. Our peo-
pie must take this course for self protec-
ton, and the matter rests very greatly
with our farmers. Their grain is need
ed and will bring gold, if they choose To
demand it, but just'so long as grain buy
ers can induce them to take Illinois wild
cat, just SO long they will bring it into
the country. When the farmers refuse
to take it, the buyers will get better
money.
