PIKE's PEAK ARRIvALs.--Al little more than
q week ago, VIM. Campbell, well known to
everybody in McGrcgor and throughout
Northern iowa, came home from the gold
fields looking the perfect picture Of health
and the ladies' say handsomer than ever
Guess it Is 10 for we heard several deep signs
at the suggestion Of his return in February.
On Saturday Mrs. Hibbard and daughter
Irene and sonFrcd. and E. Bond arrived. Mrs.
H. leaves husband, son and son -in-law there
doing well. Enc seems to think Frank and
his father have fortune in boMk, and says
Mr.. Dodge has realised handsomely; but
We think nc likes McGrego, friends too well
to try again the hazard. The Brooks
brothers, of Ossian, three in number, who
went out in the Spring Of go and realized
handsomely from gulch diggings, went again
last spring fully prepared T. test the silver
ore, and have returned satisfied not TO make
another attempt.

A SENSATION WkIrER NAsBED.-One Of
the bad fellows who is continually agitating
tho country with false rumors, recently
started in the New York Lsdxpsndsnt an
item from the ''nlost reliable source" to the
saeet that Mr.. Seward had expressed the
eooviction that ..the Government cannot
S,soceed in this war; that the Confsderacy
Win probably be recognized by the Fro,
pan powers and that peace will be the
rssal. in sixty days" The author Of the
infamous fabrication was promptly arrested
s. direction ofsec'y. Seward and sent to
Pert Lafayette. We trust this prompt
seldom will have good effect upon the SEN
1lion news gatherers Of the country.

USE CAuTloN-There is no small thing
which good housewives should be so eau
tious about procuring as Salcratus. 1t costs
family but trifle, therefore they are not
always as particular shout the quality they
get as they should be. Although it does
not cost you much to begin with, it may
be dear in the end, as impure Salcratus is
the cause of much disease. Get D. B. Dc
Land & Co.'S Chemical Saleratus. and you
will have an article that is perfectly pure,
harmless and healthy.

APPLES AND SALT.-These two regulat-

quantities by Messrs. Richardson and Will

street, two doors east Of the old Post Office

of barrel with the same case that he for
merry was wont to crack joke; at the

Elections.
The Union ticket Jared better in New
York than it did here. The N. Y. Tribune
Of the 9th says the Union party has carried
the State BY more than 100000 majority !!
This is cheering news to the Union men of
Iowa, who were borne down by partisans
ct their October election.
Maryland has gone Union by forty thou
sand majority.
Massachusetts, gives 50, 900 majority to
the Republican State ticket. ..-.
New Jersey has gone Demo cratic.
Wisconsin is still in doubt. The politi-
clans insisted upon making party nomina-
tons, and the people took no interest in the
result-feeling it was no time for partisan
conflicts. 1t lis true the Republicans put
two or three Democrats upon their ticket,
but the virtue of the act was nullificd by
calling it . Republican Union Ticket"
Generally speaking, where partisan nom-
nations have been made the people have
had no stomach for voting. They regard
the nominees as Office beggars and care not
. continental who wins.

goods which she consumed nearly half
day in unloading Among her cargo
thrown off here we note, 800 barrels
Of apples, 80 dozen chairs, a quantity Of
hardware, a good lot of choice liquors,
etc. The Dunlcith packets, are also. doing
a very good business, which will doubtless
continue till the close Of navigation.

n O0osS1On OF Justice.
The removal Of Maj Gen. John G. FIRE.
mont, has called out demonstrations of con-
siderable feeling on the part of some very
good, yet cxcitable men, Quite a number
Of gents in editorial life have ccnsured the
Administration roundly for what they are
pleased to call persecution" Of Mr.. Free
mont. Now SO much has been said in this
matter, that it would probably serve the
vindication Of Truth, il Mr.. Fremont should
call for Court Martial. In fact, since the
publication Of Adj. Gen. Thomas report,
we do not sec how Gen. Fremont can avert
the stigma which those specifications car
~, except by challenging official invest-
g,tion. If he does not call for this, it will
be considered virtual admission that the
facts set forth in the report are true, FOR
they are made by governmental official,
and the order for the removal followed thu
report.
In the meantime, we suggest that Re-
publican President, and Republican Cabi-
net; are not to beprcsumed guilty Of doing
Injustice to SO prominent man and Re-
publican as Gen. Fremont. We cannot
bring ourselves to believe that the order
which changed the command Of the West,
was given from any other reason, than the
necessity Of the public interests.
We have been several times out general
led by the rebels, and the success of our
gallant army, more than anything else, de-
Ponds upon the executive ability of our
commanding officers. No matter how
'nuch the man is esteemed, lie must stand
back for the officer. This is military ne
cessity, which knows no exception.
