affairs. Iowa city has several excellent

the several well built churches (moslly

Marcngo, tho present terminus Of the
Railroad is now a place Of very consid-
lcrublc business, but its location is unsat-
isIhe,ory and consequently is progress

You may now lay up your map, for J
have arrived at the present terminus Of
my poregrinotion.
Tho crops are everywhere highlyprom-
ising. Wheat rye, oats and corn. An
unusual number Of acres would seem to
have been devoted to agriculture, and the
prospect, thus far, ON my sig-zag route,
is favorable for ON ovcrwhclmingh harvest
AS there is no Southern market for the
surplus, the inquiry naturally arises, what
will be done with il. The eastern store
houses are now toleraby wen supplied

to feed - be sure, but great part of II
have not been producers, and consequent

be tho present year. There are probably
nearly or quite 100000 northern men,
many ofthem, ifhot majority, non-pro-
dnccrs, withdraw into the army, ondyct
thc production viii be very little, ard
quite probably not at all diminished. The
coorscr gran, such Gsrorn and oats can
be converted into bcofand pork and there
by their marketable value in somc meas
urc sustained. But will the demand for
flour, for the reasons already suggested,
be materially increased Il is said that
the wheat yield Of Iowa last year was
about 2o,C0O.ooO bushels and the pros
pcct now is that the crop Of this year will
be, at least one-quarter greater or 25,-
100000. The whole northwest will prob
ably yield proporiionate increase on
last year. Und this view Of the subject,
what will wheat be probably WORTH
There is no use M Disgusting facts. The
crops viii undoubtedly be enormous, and
it so, will not prices diminishl This is a
grave question for our farmers and mil
lers and produce dealers to consider, for
they arc deeply Interested on the subject
and can and ought 10 regulate their cx-
penditurcs and investments by the prob
able resources with which they must cx-
psot TO be able to moet them. We are
told by certain economists that this civil
war between the North aud South, al
