Iowa Legislature.

At our last accounts no business of any
great importance had been transacted by our
Legislature, convened in extra session. We
are indebted to the Dubuque Times for the
synopsis of proceedings:
Two bills were introduced into each House
on the 10th, and referred to the appropriate
committees. One of them relates to the mi
litia another confers powers in counties and
cities to provide for the families of volunteers
in certain cases.
On the 10Th Mr.. Baker, of Clinton, intro
paying the volunteers from the State Treasury
from the date of their enlistment 20 the date
that they are mustered into the United States
service, and from the date of their discharge
to their arrival at their homes. 1t met with
opposition and was laid on the table, but will
probably be revived.
The following resolution, introduced by Mr..
Kellogg, and passed unanimously, shows the
feeling which pervades the Capitol.
WHEREAS, The President of the United
States has appealed to all loyal citizens to IA
vor facilitate and aid the efforts to maintain
the honor, the integrity and the existence of
the National Union, and suppress treason
and rebellion, therefore be it
Resolred 6y the House Of Representatives.,
the Senate concurring, That the faith, credit,
and resources of the State of Iowa, both in
men and money, are hereby inviolably pledg-
ed to any amount and to every extent which
the Federal Government may demand, to
suppress treason, subdue rebellion, enforce
the laws, protect the lives and property of
loyal citizens and maintain inviolate the Con-
stitution and integrity Of the Nation.
Reso1ced, That the Governor and Secretary
of State, be, and are hereby authorized to
forward certified copy of these resolutions
to the President Of the United States.
On the 18th, in the Senate, Kellogg's res
olutions were passed unanimously. The
body then adjourned until this week on Mon
day.

ton. 1t was received with great favor by
the Association generally. The discourse on
Usury, by O. w. Merrill, commanded unu.
sual attention. As it will probably be given
to the press, it is enough to say that the
Churches of the West may find in it an un
answerable argument against usury or the
excessive rates of interest that have worked
much mischief in Iowa and other new States
The resolutions following were unanimous

I. That recognize solemn obligation upon all chris
ans and friends Of constitutional liberty to sustain ht
Government in the present crisis in national affairs

men, of whom we have right to expect bet
ter things, who are attempting to "crush
out" the Association, will do well - think
of them, and they may do it some day with
regret, too. 1t is my opinion that if these
persons succeed in their efforts to avoid pay
ing their shares, the citizens of this place
should come forward and meet this liability
of the Stock Co., for which Mr.. MELENDY is
responsible, and not oblige him to take two
or three hundred dollars out Of his own
pocket to meet it. .5s

The Stock Go. and Stock Repudiator.

The Stock Go. and Stock Regulators.
To the Editor of tho Gasette::
You are probably aware that certain per-
sons, whose names it is not necessary for me
to mention, who have taken stock in the &C.
dar Valley Joint Stock Agricultural Associa-
ton now repudiate the same, and are endeav-
oring, with the assistance of law, to avoid
paying their obligation. That the number Of
such individuals is very small, we are all re-
joiced, but that there should be any, who
so blindly work against their own individual
interests, as well as the interest of the commu-
nifty at large, to say nothing about the hon
esty or justice of the procedure, is matter
Of serious regret to those who have the in.
terest Of the place, or that of Agriculture, at
heart. Last fall, when the Stock Co. had
put the grounds for the fair in such good
condition, considering the shortness of the
time it had to do it, and everything con-
nected with the Cedar Valley Agricultural
and Mechanical Association seemed to be
getting along so finely-so prosperously, it
was generally thought the Association was
on firmer footing than ever before. The
fair came of-a perfect success-the best Of
any ever held by the Association, and the
people generally looked upon it with pride
and satisfaction, and looked forward to the
next with high anticipations. The Stock Co.
were to make many additional improvements,
and everybody was to take hold Of the mat.
ter with will and energy, and here build up
one Of the best Agricultural Associations in
the West. The past success of the Society
is mainly due to the untiring efforts of PETER
MELENDY. He has done all that man could
do7he has shouldered the burden and
marched bravely on with it to the present
time; in many instances has he neglected his
own business, his own interest, to attend to
the interests and prosperity of this Associa-
ton. How earnestly he has labored for the
welfare of this community and the Cedar
Valley, his works will bear ample testimony
But now his poorly appreciated efforts are
likely to be in great measure withdrawn;
and why? Last fall he took the response
bility-not without authority, however-of
procuring tents for the use Of the fair grounds,
confident that the men who had subscribed
stock would do as they agreed. These men
now repudiate their paper, and consequently
the Stock Co. is without available means to
liquidate its debt, and PETER MELENDY is
held personally responsible for the payment
Is there any justice in this? Is there any
kind of christianity The advantages of the
Society are known to all and received by all,
and tits not Unnecessary for me to lay them be-
fore your readers at this time; but these

on the converting of the Iowa Legislature on

learn that the number of troops requisite to
fill the regiment called for by the Govern

War. He recommended ample appropriation
for the maintenance of volunteers not accept

I CEDAR FALLS. IOWA.
FRIDAY. May 24th, 1861.
Stump-Tail Currency.

In the language Of cotemporary, "The
money markets. still in perfect tumble, and
the only correct thing to say is that we have
none." A week ago any amount Of Illinois
and Wisconsin banks were at par; few
days later only six Illinois banks were worth
their face, and yesterday we saw new list
quoting between thirty and forty Illinois
banks at par. So it fuctuates from day to
day, and if another forty EIGHT hours does not
develope still more beauties in this delectable
currency, we shall be disappointed. Depend
upon it, there is niger in the fence, and a
huge one. The fact is, the whole system up
on which these banks are based is rotten to
the core, and we advise every farmer, and all
others not prepared to deal in it, not to touch
dollar Eft. We are glad to see deter
mination upon the part of some Of our most
prominent business men to run the stuff
home and keep it there. The banks have
been classified off, and are quoted all the way
from par down to fifty cents on the dollar,
and the merchants take them less ten per
cent of their quotation, send them off daily,
not paying out dollar of it here, and bring
back in its place gold or reliable currency
All our business men do not do this, however;
some refuse to take it at all, and others still
continue to run their risks. Part of our
grain buyers, and we do not know but all,
are paying gold or Iowa currency for wheat.
Now is the time for the farmers to repudiate
the ..stump-tail, while there is disposition
upon the part of the merchants and other
business men to assist them. Gold or Iowa
currency you can get for your wheat, and in
sist upon being paid in such, or something
else as good. Just as long as we continue
to receive the bills of these banks, just so
long we shall be victimized as we have been
every week or two for the past two months.
Repudiate it entirely, and let it be once known
that we uiW not have it circulating among us,
and good currency will speedily take its
place. In the case Of its being utterly dis
cartled, no doubt business would suffer for a
short time for want of currency, but that
would speedily right itself, for just so long as
we have staple productions to sell, you might
just as well try to prevent the rain from
heaven falling on the earth, as to keep out
good money, when it is once known that that
is the only thing that can buy what we have
to sell. In any event business cannot suffer
greater loss than it has already experienced.
We hope that an united and successful effort
will be made to free ourselves from this mis-
cradle paper, miscalled currency.

WAR11KE.-The Geographic dispatches be-
gin to look decidedly warlike, and VIC are of
the opinion that in the course Of another
week we shall hear of one or more sanguinary
struggles having taken place between the
government and rebel forces. U. S. troops
are being concentrated for marching large
body Of federal troops into Virginia from
three different points, and as the rebels are
also concentrating large number of men in
that State, the passage of the federal troops
is likely to be holly contested. The blockade
by water is being strictly enforced, and many
valuable cargoes destined for the seeded
States have been seized and placed where
they will not be apt to confer any great ben
eft upon rebels. Now that the government
seems to have all its plans about completed,
look out for squalls.
