jeff. and expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the work their better halves
were engaged in. The dear souls declared
that they wouldn't have lived with them il
they hadn't been secessonists-they would
have run away and married men that were
seccssionists; and if their husbands got killed
they never would marry Union man. The
question is if they do have to marry second
husbands how can they help bat take Union
men. Dear me, the ladies amt all angels af.
ter all. Anything but she-devil. One Of
the women tried to get off with gun under
her hoops, but the boys smelt mice, and
very modestly took possession of the shoot
ing stick, much to the chagrin Of the rebel
lady. H..
Our encampment is in what was once
called very nice town. But it's almost de-
serted now. Uncle Sans boys are the prn-
cipal occupants. The college building here
is a fine structure, and looks as lift once had
been popular and successful institution
But it has no pupils now; it's doors are
closed, it's grounds deserted. There is also
Female Seminary here. The cdifice is
built in the gothic style, and is great orna-
ment to the town. 1t is surrounded by a
beautiful garden and an orchard, the trees of
which are loaded with apples. This school.
too, has closed, and the beauties that once
walked in the fine walks and sat in the shade
of the leafy trees are there no more, and the
place looks dull and lonesome.
Great indeed is the desolation Of war -
But this war for the Union is not of our
own seeking; it is forced upon us, and rather
than sacrifice all those blessed institutions
transmitted by the Fathers, we, in common
with hundreds of thousands of freemen will
march unquailingly to death. Desolation it
may be, but far greater the desolation if the
Union be sundered, the Constitution ignored,
and the old flag dishonored, and trodden in
the dust.
God bless our native land;
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night
When the wild tempests rave;
Ruler of wind and
Do thou our country save,
BY thy great might
Truly yours,
A. PRIVATE.

,CouRAGE.-The press is pretty generally
calling upon the Union men to take courage,
not to be disheartened at the disaster at Bull
Run, but renew their strength, and grid up
their loins for another conflict, and another
still, if need be, till victory shall rest upon
the banners of the Union. We have no OBJ
lection to this, if they did not speak in man.
ner which would imply that the Union forces
were disheartened, and were greatly in need
of their encouraging words. We are not dis
hcartcned! Have not been, nor will we be-,
though the same should result again. Bet
ter give caution; better to restrain than urge.
The Union shall surely be maintained; the
right will prevail!

Shall Our Fair be Sustained

VIII there be Fair this fall ?" isa ques-
ton that has been asked great many times
within the past month. We can answer
positively that there will be fair held by
the Cedar Valley Agricultural Society on the
nth, 18th, and 10th of September next, at
this place, in spite of the croakings of the
fault-finders and grumblers.
There ,ciU be Fair. The friends Of the
society must come up to the work. The So
ciety needs, and if successful must have your
confidence and cooperation. You must feel
that you are personally responsible for the
success or failure Of each annual fair. We
must not stop and ask the question seiA ii
pay? There are those in every communi-
ty who estimate the value Of everything by
the return of dollars and cents it will secure
to them. Do not count the cost and calcu-
late the gain, before you come, but let all aid
in sustaining the society, and not take the
matter Of dollars and cents into the account,
but give the proper encouragement.
Then let every farmer, mechanic, stock
breeder, gardener, horticulturist, manufactu-
rer, merchant, lady and child, and all, and
everybody attend. This Fair is to be an ex-
hibition ofagriculture. horticulture. foricul-
ture, mechanics, science, art, domestic econ
omy, &C.; and if your eyes are open and
your powers awake, you will be paid many
times over for the time and money thus
spent. Ifcach man, woman and child in and
around our town, up and down the valley,
would contribute some animal, article or pro.
duct to the exhibition, the display will be a
good one, and one crcditable to our people
as well as attractive to the community gener.
ally.
Farmers! shall we have it? Will you
come forward and by united effort, make
this Fifth Annual Fair, despite all the objec.
tons which can threaten it, the most success
full exhibition in its history. 1t lacks onl,
| the 1ciU
The society appeals to the citizens of Ce
dar Falls and vicinity, at large, to be sustain
ed in it's efforts this year. The premium
list is large, and We want it paid five sue
coed this year we shall feel encouraged t.
greater liberality another year. We are con
fident it will pay all who attend, either a.
exhibitors or spectators. Let the society b,

the Dubuque Herald, as being dead. They

Exciting Affair at the st. Louis Arsenal

Exciting Affair at the St. Louis Arsenal.
The ST. Louis Democrat gives the following
particulars Of an exciting incident that oc-
Cured at the Arsenal in that city on Tues.
day last:
The wife and daughter Of prisoner were
visiting him in the tent assigned him. He
left them temporarily, and in his absence an
intoxicated soldier, member Of the Second
iowa regiment, entered the tent and grossly
7insulted and began to assault his wife. Her
screams and those Of her daughter drove him
from the tent, and at that instant the hus-
band returned. He Indignantly addressed
the intruder, who replied abusively and drew
a revolver. He was arrested, and by order
Of the commandant, Col. Bissell, was placed
on one of the wooden horses to do penance.
It being found difficult to keep him on the
horse, he was tied on and his hands were
cuffed. This treatment cnraged number of
the Iowa boys, who doubtless were misin-
formed of the aggrayating circumstance Of
the prisoners offence, and who raised a cry
for his rescue Soon afterward the guard was
,overpowered and he was set at liberty. Com
mandant Bissell at this instant arrived at the
scene He at once seized the released soldier,
called a company Of his regiment-who were
at hand--around him, and drove back the
crowd. He then had the prisoner again placed
on the wooden horse, and as further de-
monstrations were threatened, ordered his
men to load their guns. The order was obey.
ed, amid much and increasing excitement
The company was drawn up SO as cover the
area in front of the guard house and ordered
to charge bayonets. This they did, clearing
the area before them, and then charged back
again on small crowd that had been advanc
ing in the rear. These proceedings caused
much irritation, and numbers Of the Iow'
men proposed to 60 and get their musket'
and sstry conclusions with the guard If
behalf of their comradc. Their Lieutenant
Colonel, commanding, addressed them, en-
Joining them by the respect they had fol
themselves and him, quietly TO desist from
further proceedings This council most o

The Iowa Border Troubles 49, How the
Loyal Missourians were Helped in
their Emergency.

The Davenport Gazette gives what it terms
an official account-by an officer on the spot
of the excitement lately raging in Worth
and Gentry counties, Mo-, which called for
the prompt assistance of Iowa men:
ascertained the origin and facts of the
difficulties to be about as follows: The sccess-
ionists of Gentry county, NO., numbering
perhaps some three or four hundred, had been
holding meetings, drilling &c., at Albany,
the county seat. and at small place called
Gentryvillc in the same county. Worth
county is new county taken from the north
side of Gentry county. Allensville is in this
county and eight miles from the Iowa line,
and contains population of about 200 In
Worth county there are some two or three
hundred secessionists. The majority of the
citizens in Allensville and surrounding coun-
try arc Union men. Two noted seccssionists
in the vicinity, by the name of DR.. Maddox
and Tanning, had been holding public meet
ings at Fairview, another small town of All
ensville These leaders made very infama-
tory appeals to the people, accompanied with
threats against the Union men. Finally word
came that the scccssionists were coming up
from GentryvIle, advancing with the inten-
ton of burning down Allensville, and other
wise injuring the Union men,, and that they
intended to compel the Union men to take
the oath to support the Southern Confeder-
acy.
The Union men becoming alarmed, mes
sengers were dispatched to Iowa in various
directions appealing to the citizens Of this
State for assistance The excitement and a.
larm became intense throughout this whole
region of country.
When arrived at Allenstown there were
not less than fifteen hundred Iowa citizens
there, armed in every conceivable manner.
and about one thousand Union men from
Mercer, Harrison and Worth counties, Mo-,
were acting in the capacity of soldiers, but
poorly armed. A thousand reports were in
circulation, but it was almost impossible to
obtain any correct account. As near the
truth as ! can obtain is this<-from two to
four hundred Sccessionists We're seen in one
body in the vicinity of Allensvillc. As soo,,
as the Union men began to arrive they sep
aratcd into squads of not over dozen and
took to the brush, which is very thick in that
region.
The Union men then divided and under
took to drive them out, and the result was
some thirty were taken prisoners; of these
two or three were taken possession Of by the
Missouri troops, with the intention ofconvey-
ing them to ST. Joe to be delivered to the
United States authorities One or two is re-
ported to have been hung, and three or four
shot in endcavoring to make their escape
when in pursuit Of the Union men. The
balance Of the prisoners took the proper oath
Of allegiance, and were discharged.
n,>M 10 y,,1r, &ho
Of Iowa seeing it was impossible to drive ou,
the remaining secessionists from their hid
ing places, returned homeward, leaving a.
bout 700 Missourians and perhaps one com.
pany Of Iowans in pursuit oftnc secessionists

The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1861-02-12

Parson Brownlow answers this ques,
ton as follows:
This is the question propounded in
other States, and in letters coming here
| from other States. When answered by
Secessionists, the answer is, Yes. Ten,
nessee is certain TO go out. Now, we
take the liberty to say, that Tennessee
will not go out; and further, that not one
Secessionist can be elected 10 the State
Convention, out of the thirty counties
of East Tennessee. Mark this predic
ton
But If there should be enough of Dis
unionists chosen in Middle aud West
Tennessee to rush the State madly out OF
the Union, East Tennessee will secede
from the Southern Confederacy. and or
ganize a mountain Republic. Mean
while, Middle Tennessee must remove
the bones of Andrew Jackson TO this end
of the State, as his grave and tombstone
are perpetual protests against disunion
Should Tennessee go out. il any one will
repair to. the Hermitage. and keep watch,
the bones Of the old hero will be heard
