ALrHouoH Frame, the Cedar county
traitor, as discharged from custody, u
is concIusively proven by Mr.. Pett't, OF
the Dubuque Tines, that the great
Railroad disaster in Miseonri, WAS caused
by information sent by Frame to the
Sheriff OF Bates county, Mo. The mis-
cradle traitor confessed that he gave
the information which resulted so hor-
ribly. yet no indictment was fou0d
against him. His object was to have
Coppic and his band killed, and he par
tally succeeded. There were men in
Cedar county, who, in 1857, we're hanged
by the neck until they were dead, whose
guilt compared with Francs was white

But the Upton Cedar co., ADDER
User, Republican sheet, declares in it's
issue of the 7th inst, that "Frane's
letter did not reach it's destination, as
mail facilities we're cut of ia that part
Of Missouri, and OF course no harm was

proven that that letter was the means

THE people of Davenport held meet
ing last week, to denonnce the partlzan
rancor with which Gen. Fremont has
been pursued. The Chicago tribune
was severely condemned as it deserved.
We know no other paper on the CONT.
rent which combines SO little discretion
! with an egotism which Luciter never
reached. State Register.
Yes, and those same indignant ones
who voted to take no more Tri6unes-
read no more Z1,dunes, until it changed
its course, were the first to purchase it
or to read it, hoping to find their
names advertised in that sheet. Admit
ting the Tribune deserves reproof, what
shall We do but condemn those who
pledged themselves not to read it, but
have done 50 every day. Out upon
snch miserable demagogueism. 1t is q
disgrace to any community.
Tue wine crop OF Burlington for the
season ~ estimated by the Hawkeve at
10000 gallons State Register.
Perhaps the Register can induce the
Hawkeye to take of gallon or so from
that story, in order that the people can
believe it. Thirty Thousand gallons Of
wine in Burlington that is nearly a
thousand barrels OF wine for one city in
the State. That beats Cincinnati few
quarts snre.
r----.-~.-..-r, pc.rnvr EvoEa The
Fort Dodge Democrat Of the cd, says
that the most destructive prairie fire
ever witnessed in North w estern Iowa
occurred on the 18th, near Dayton, but
supposed to have originated near Jeffer-
son, on Coon river. TIE greatest DANA
ges, however, occurred at the former
place, burning timber, fences, hay, grains
&C., to an unlimited extent, compelling
farmers either to sell their stock for
merely nothing, or leave them to famish
with the cold and hunger. The scamp
who perpetrated the crime, should be
severely punished.
| The prairie fires illuminate the atmos
pkere nightly. 1t is to be deplored that
the laws are not more strictly enforced
with regard to setting out fire. Unprin,
cipled persons thus save their own prop.
crty suffering the conflagration thus
raised to destroy the property Of per-
sons unprepared to extiuguish it. In
this manner large amonnt Of property
has been consumed at Dayton, on the

Green county, are said 10 have occa-
stoned the disaster.
TIE FISGAL EXPECTED AT SAvAN-
NAH.-A gentleman who reached Gin
cinnati last Monday from the South, and
who had been in Savannah but few
days previously, says that, when he left,
the Fiugal was expected daily at that
point with large cargo Of assorted arms
and army stores, such as was brought by
the Bermuda. lie reports that the
blockade there was laughed at, that no
United States vessel vas then of the
port, and that only occasionally could
one be seen. During the week previous
to his departure from Savannah, the
French Consul had granted clearances
to eight vessels, all of hich had got
out of tho harbor in safety.
