THE STATE FAIR-By favor Of J. II.
Wallace, Secretary, we are in receipt
of pamphlet copy of the "Rules
Regulations, and Premium list of the
Iowa State Agricultural Society, for
the Eighth Annual Exhibition, to be
held at Iowa City, Sept. Gath, 25tb,
96th and 9th, 1861" The premiums
offered are on more liberal scale
than ever before, and the farmers OF
Iowa should by all means sustain this
society and do all they can to add to
its usefulness. A camping party
should attend from Floyd county. If
ladies are in the camp, the party will
be permitted to erect their tent within
the enclosure Of the Fair Ground.

In speaking of the Republican State
ticket, the McGregor Press says:

The Williams men of the North will
work for the whole ticket as they new
er worked before, and Judge Lowe will
have no warmer friend and ardent
supporter than he will find in Judge
Williams himself If the North went
home little disappointed, they were
disguised only with what they learned
of the Mahony and the self-styled Peo-
pies Convention, and they went home
fully determined to beat them both
and they will do it.
We can fully endorse the above,
both as regards Judge Williams and
the Republicans of Northern Iowa.
The North knows its strength and will
'bide its time.

the arms collected on the battlefield,
relate that two four-horse loads of
cavalry pistols and swords were
picked up. These must have belong

Gen. JOE LANES RECEPTION IN OREGON.
"A private letter, just received from Ore
gon, gives the following account of Gen.
Lanes reception in Oregon: Mr.. Joseph
Lane met with a very cool reception in this
part of the world, on his return from the
States At San Francisco he made an at
tempt to speak, but was hOoted down by
the crowd, who told him he would find
rope ready to receive him in Oregon, for his
treason to Democracy and the Union, and
advised him to return to his native North
Carolina. When he reached Portland, one
of his friends attempted to obtain a cannon
with which to celebrate his arrival, but
could procure none for such purpose. He
did not stop in Salem, but pushed on to a
small village three miles from there. There
the true-hearted sons of America hoisted
the true flag, having upon 1t thirty-four
stars, and fired thirty-four guns for the
Union, loaded heavily with powder and
copies of Lanes speeches. He was politely
permitted to look after his own baggage
This is the way in which he will be treated
all over the State, with the exception, per-
haps, of four or FIVE counties.

s Volunteers have left their homes and
families to defend the country against in
vasion. Some of them have left families
who are destitute of the necessaries of life.
These have claims on this community
We ought to see that they are supported
and their wants supplied. To do this
effectually and well, all who can should
contribute to a common fund for that pur-
pose.
A volunteer wife was to-day, June 90,
1861, asking one of our citizens who she
should apply to for some money to buy
bread for herself and children.
Shall we have public meeting on this
subject or shall we have a subscription
and Treasurer, or shall we have both .

and performing their share in the great
work of crushing rebellion and suppressing

of being behind the times in this particular,
but, for the comfort of the boys who have to
parade in the hot sun, we are glad we are
so. We will make diligent inquiries here
after before we make any more recommend
atious to the thoughtful and enterprising
ladies of Evansville.

The Blockade.

!, The Surveyor of this Port has received
tbs following instructions, in addition 10
those of the goth ultimo, FROM the Secretary
OF the Treasury, relative to the transmits
sion Of articles contraband Of war to par
ties in Instruction against the United
States. We print them in order that ship
pers may know the authority under which
our Surveyor is now acting, and the full
scope of his instructions
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, !
June 18th, 1861.
SIR Referring to the circular instruc-
ton Of the I'd ultimo, prohibiting the trans
mission of munitions of war, provisions, or
other supplies, to parties in Instruction
against the United States, you are now
further instructed to exercise the utmost
vigilance in arresting and OBTAINING all
merchandise of whatever character, the Ill
innate destination of which you have salts
factory reason to believe is for insurgents
against the United States, or for places IN
der their control.
If you are satisfied, either from the nature
of the articles or otherwise, that any mer-
chandise, wherever destined in name, is in
fact destined for persons or combinations in
actual Instruction against the United
States, you will cause the same to be seized
and proceeded against for forfeiture.
If, however, you are satisfied that any
merchandise, transmitted for States or places
/ under insurrectionary control, is not intend
ed for actual insurgents, and has been
shipped or forwarded without intent to af-
ford aid and comfort to such insurgents, or
otherwise to violate the law, you will sim
ply detain such merchandise, and notify the
shippers or forwarders, or their agents, of
such detention, and state the cause thereof
If such shipper or forwarder, personally or
by agent, shall satisfy you that the mer-
chandise so arrested will not be sent to any
place under insurrectionary control but will
be either returned whence it came, or be
disposed of in good faith for consumption
within loyal States, you will restore posses
sion of the same, and allow such disposition
thereof as the parties in interest may de-
sire.
You will regard all States in which the
authority of the United States is temporari-
/ ly subverted as under insurrectionary con-
| troll; but any portions of such States in
/ which the laws of the Union and the au-
thority of the Federal Government are &C
! knOwledged and respected, will be consider
ed as exempt from any interruption of COM
merce or intercourse, beyond such as may
be necessary in order to prevent supplies
going to insurgents or to places under theii
control.
1t is the intention of the Department Il
leave the owners of all property perfectly
free to control it in such manner as they SEE
fit, without interference or detention by Of
ficers of the Federal Government except fo
the purpose of preventing any use or dis
posal Of such property for the aid and com
fort of insurgents, or in commerce witt
States or places controlled by insurgents.

Secretary of the Treasury.

FLAG PREsENrATIoN.-A large crowd as
sembled on First street, in front of Mozart
Hall, yesterday afternoon, to witness the
presentation of beautiful American flag
to the Turner Rifle Company, by the lady
admirers of that sterling corps. The Home
Guards We're out in considerable force
Iery, under command Of Capt. Files, occu-
pied the right; then came Capt. Monk :
Company-we do not know its name. tbe
Lamasco Guards stood next and the Turner
Rifles occupied the center of the line. On
the left, adjoining the Turner's, was the
Company under Capt. Wol1in; next came
Capt Denby's KIauss's, and Shanklin's fine
Companies, in the order named. The whole
as drawn up in line, gave quite a good idea
OF our home resources for protection.
The exercises were principally in German.
and consequently out Of our line of renort-
ing. The ladies sang the " Red White and
Blue for the opening song The flag was
presented by Miss Pfaeffln and received ON
behalf OF the company by Capt. Schnauken
burg The band then struck up " The Star
Spangled Banner several rounds of hearty
cheers were given, a German song by one
OF thes musical Societies sung, and the
exercises closed. military procession was
then formed and the companies marched
through some of the principal streets. The
ranks were not so full as we like to
see, but the basis for an extensive and CIV
ceilent regiment for home service was
plainly visible
In the evening ball was given by the
turner's in which large number partici-
pated until near the morning light. Those
present appeared to enjoy themselves highly
