Scott County Fair.

The Fair Of the Scott County Society COM
menced on Tuesday, but, owing to the rain,
entries were kept open till Wednesday at noon.
The exhibition, as usual, under its present
officers, is decided success.
The great event Of Wednesday was the trot
between young Bashaw" and "Tom Hyer. "
Each Of these distinguished animals had his
friends and champions, and when brought
into the course, all was anxiety to know which
would win, Bashaw drew the pole, but lost
it short distance from the start, in conse-
quence of a bad brake, from which he did not
recover till his flying little opponent had
opened considerable daylight between them.
Tom won the race in 2:42. It being claimed
that the speed of Bashaw had been impeded
by call from one of his jockeys that tug
was dragging, which proved to be one of the
reins, it was decided. by the judges to give
him another trial, which was declared dead
heat in 2:36. Thus the contest is undecided,
and while they may try again at Davenport
the contest will be finally decided at the State
Fair, for which both horses have been prepar.
ing for months. Then, as heretofore, we trust
the star of Bashaw may be in the ascendant

10. Holt ON NORTHERN ToRIEs.-Mr Holt,
who is a Kentuckian and Democrat, in his
New York speech, speak as follows of North
ern traitors. We commend the extract to
those Democrats of Iowa who are trying to
place the party upon an anti war tory plat
form.
Perhaps am to harsh; but I must say
this, that men in our midst, who give aid and
comfort to the enemy, or by advertising their
cause or by striving to SOW dissenslons
among ourselves, or by insidiously disuading
loyal men from entering the military service,
are more vitality the foes of our country than
if they were in the army of the Confederate
States. The power of the Government can
do much to correct this evil, but much more
can be done by the crushing power of public
opinion, branding as infamous, socially and
politically, disloyalty whenever and wher-
ever encountered. Thesemen are morally at
least guilty of the death of those who fall in
the defense Of the Government, just as much,
as if they bad met them upon the battle field
with the deadly weapons of war. In your
railroad cars, upon your steamboats, in your
thoroughfares, in every business and social
circle, disloyalty should be branded and blast
ed as leprous and loathsome thing. And
therefore my friends, when you see these
men, bs it upon Change, Or be it in the So
cial circle, and they offer you their hands,
look well to them, for if you have the eyes
that have you will see that they are red
with the blood Of brave men, your kindred
it may be who have perished, and who arc
perishing still on the battle field-turn away
from them in disgust and indignation.

The Sort Of Peace the Rebels
are WlllimG to Make.

"TRE Only TERMS OF PEACE.-The North
must Do made to sue for peace, and be COM
PEELED to accept the terms which we will pro-
pose. This is the only way this war ought
to be ended, and it is the only way it will be
ended, unless the enemy in the meantime, as
is highly probable, breaks down for the want
Of means to carry on the contest.
1.-THE peace party in the North is not,
howsv er, exactly that kind Of peace party
winch the South would like to see there
They are for peace merely because the war
has Frustrated business, and threatens to in
volve them in fearful national debt. They
are mot for peace because they believe the
South to be right. What we want is for
them to declare for peaceon the broad ground
that the South is right on principle.
when they take the principle that the
provocation of the South was more than suf6-
Gent; that the right of secession, under our
form of government, is undoubted; that it is a
correct theory that all governments ought to
derive their existence from the consent of the
governed, in short, that the South not only
had the right to resist, but was fully and am
ply justified in so doing then, and only then
will there be peace party in the North worth
talking about" -Neso Orleans Crescent.
This is the insolent answer that comes
from the South, in response to the "peace and
compromise" faction of the North

CAIRO, Sept. Tt is believed that the reb-
els have all left Sikeston and are leaving New
Madrid for Western Kentucky.
Tilgham has 1000 men within 90 miles of
Paducah and Pillow 1000 within 80 miles.
The army at jackson remains quiet in camp.

Columbus, Kentucky, and are throwing up
Notifications rapidly. Four thousand Tenn

place,

Ger In the regular army, arrived this evening
from st. Louis, and leaves tonight for Padu-
cab, to take command there The credit of
the expedition is due to Gen. Grant, who
took the responsibility to make it without
waiting for orders from headquarters. 1t was
made on information that the rebels were
moving on Paducah it has been entirely sue
cessful and is approved by Gen. Fremont.
Several regiments have left here to-day;
but to give their destination is peremptorily
prohibited by the commanding General.
The best and latest information gives the
position fthe enemy as follows: jeff Thomp-
son, with his crew of some 1000, is opposite
Columbus; 20 miles below, Hickman Ky, is
fortified and occupied by large force. Co.
lumbus is being fortified and occupiedby some
seven thousand troops under Generals Polk
and Pillow. There is battery of ten guns
north of Columbus, with considerable force.
Island No. 10 is fortified with battery and
large force
No news from Gen. Tilgham. He is report

W Mahoney has Illuminated the following
Bull in the Dubuque Herald Of Sept. 4th,
accommodating from the Democratic party
all who refuse to stand on his tory platform
or support his tory nominations:
The DEMOCRACY OF Iowa UN1TED.-The &C.
ton of the Convention of the Goth ult., being
in such close accord with that of the Demo
cratic Convention of the Oath of July, both in
the nomination of candidates and in the enun-
citation of principles and policy Of Government,
there is no longer any question tissue among
the Democracy of Iowa. He who does not
now sustain the ticket nominated on the Oath
of July, with the substitution of the name of
Col Merritt for that of Mr.. Fisher, declined,
for Lieutenant Governor; and who does not
also accord with the principles and policy
enunciated by those Conventions, has NO
claim whatever to be called Democrat here
after! A few disorganizers in this county,
with one or two in Lee, and perhaps one in
Des Moines, will prove to the world by their
course how false and hypocritical their pro-
LESSONS have been of political fidelity, but be-
yond these the Democratic masses throughout
the State will be more united than ever be.

GOVERNOR Pr0clamati0n.-.M0r ore
Troops Wanted.

Governors PfOcl0mattOn...M ore
Tr00Ps Wanted.
Governor Kirkwood has issued proclama-
ton calling for more volunteers for the war,
from this State, to complete the quota deman-
ded by the general government from Iowa.
He says:
Two regiments of those yet needed are re-
against the incursions Of predatory tribes of
Indians. While our loyal armies have been
engaged with civilized traitors in deadly
struggle for the supremacy ofthe government,
the maintenance Of the constitution, the en-
forcement of the laws, and the protection of
innocent and defenceless citizens, our own
borders have become exposed to the ravages
of savages. Some of these lawless tribes are
now in league with the leaders of the rebel
lion in Arkansas and Missouri. Others have
been melted by them to seize this opportunity
to prey upon the deftnseless inhabitants Of
our State. Some Of our sparsely settled coun-
ties imperatively demand protection, and they
must have it.
Four regiments in addition to those now
organizing, are needed. They must be had
speedily. hope for the good name of our
State they will be furnished without resort
to any other mode than that heretofore so sue
cessfully adopted. Let those who cannot vol
unteer, lend encouragement and assistance to
those who can. Let every one feel there is
no more important work to be done until
these regiments are filled.
We hope there will be an immediate re-
Spouse to this call.
.
TThe following observations appended
to business letter from Brighton, Washing
ton county, meet our views exactly:
"Wnat means it that some of our promi
nent Republicans are taking so strong grounds
in favor of the Union ticket? did not know
that any Republican was dissatisfied with the
nominees and certainly no true Republican
can object to them. 1t will not do to split up.
