Scott COUNTY Fair.

The attendance Thursday at the Fair was
unprecedentedlyl large, the receipts at the gate
upto u O'clock being g 900. The exhibition is,
in all respects, superior, but the chief attract
ion yesterday was the trot for special purse Of
$40. There were four entries-Silk Stock
ings and Plow Boy, of Davenport Tom Hyer,
ofCedar Rapids, and Young Bashaw, of Mus
catine. The performance of Wednesday led
some to suppose that Tom Uyer would beat
our Muscatine favorite The first heat was
taken by Silk Stockings in 2:3S, Tom Hyer
coming in second, and Bashaw third. The
second heat was taken by Rashaw in
2:4O, Tom Hyer being second, and Silk Stock
ings third-Plow Boy being ruled out. The
third heat was taken by Bashaw in a:S5, Tom
Hyer coming in second. The fourth heat was
taken by Bashaw in 2:34. The last two heats
were closely contested, and was said by horse
men present to be the finest and fairest trot-
ting ever seen in the State.
In our haste to get to press We cannot give
as extended notice of the Fair as we would
wish. We can only acknowledge our indebt-
edness to the President of the Society, Mr..
Smith, the Secretary, Ira Clifford, Esq,
Sheriff Thorington and the Marshal for many
civilities; and we cheerfully say that in all
our observations Of such occasions we have
never seen more fairness and courtesy shown
to exhibitors and visitors, or better order main
tained than at the present Scott County Fair.
We congratulate the managers on their sue

This township at the last fall election had
400 voters. They are now preparing to or
ganize a new company. The Union Zouaves,
of Columbus City, will number about 40
men, from 1S to So years Of age. They will,
when organized, keep themselves in readiness
to serve their country, if the circumstances re-
quire it. Ifthere is any other township in
the State, with the same number of voters
that can excel it in furnishing soldiers, let
us have the name and county.
Col. G. believes the county has furnished
three hundred and fifty men that are now in
in the United States and State service. lie

two companies in the field from Louisa county
to the great disappointment of the members
of the original company of Union Guaads, at
Columbus City, who numbered one hundred

and never admitted until the formation Of the
5th. This caused many to leave the county and

Mr. z. Washburn having declined the
nomination of Coroner, made by you in Con-
vention, your Central Committee have deemed
it inadvisable to call another Convention, and
would therefore present for your suffrages the
name of Thomas Mqgford as candidate for
Coroner. The Convention having failed to
nominate CO. Drainage Commits

GamaAel Olds MS your candidate for that
office.
The ticket now being full there is but one
duty devolving upon you in relation to it.
Labor devotedly and increasingly for its sue
cess. Party lines are for the present ignored
but not obliteratei The present condition
of our beloved country demands that all loyal
men should rise above party, and support the
Gopernment, with united hearts and hands.
While we recognize the mass of our Demo-
cratic friends as ioyal and true to the best
government the sun ever shone, we cannot in
dorse their platform of principles, laid down
by their political leaders. As loyal men we
can have but one voice, and that is-Union
without compromise, and an unconditional
endorsement of the War Policy Of the Ad
ministration.
In November last you elected Lincoln to the
Presidency. VIII you, in one short year,
turn to him cold shoulder, when he asks for
at least your moral support? First to the
support of the powers that be, when rebellion

How TO Know TRA1Tok.-An Eastern
paper gives the folluwing receipts of "How
to know q traitor :"
The man who continually prates about
coercion" and "subjugation," is traitor.
The man who says he is "Union man. y
but cries "peace," even to the surrender Of
the government of JEFF. Davis, is traitor.
The man who shows painful sense of the
horrors of war when the rebels are shot
down, and chuckles inwardly when the de-
Tenders of the Union are killed, is traitor
The man who shows morbid sensitive

WASHINGTON COUNTY LEGISLATIVE NoM1-
NATIoNs.-We learn that the Republicans of
Washington county have put in nomination
for Representative our old typo and editorial
friend, 7. q. Stanton, Esq This is emphat-
ically a nomination fit to be made. Mr. S.,
besides being young man of good habits,
excellent talent and a fine speaker, has
had much experience in mingling with de-
Lucrative bodies at Washington City and
elsewhere, and knows how to pull the ropes"
an important qualification in legislator.
The people of Washington county will do
themselves an honor as we'll as service by
electing him. We learn that our friend and
former fellow citizen, John W. Quinn, though
Democrat, was also nominated on the tick
ct as the other Representative from that
county. John says he can't endorse mod
ern Democracy, but is in favor of the war
for the Union, without any reserve, qualifi-
cation or compromise. He is sound, and
will make an efficient co-worker with Mr..
Stanton. We hope to hear of the election
of both of these gentlemen.

From the Taylor County Towa) Tribune Sept 81
The Union men along the border have rest
ed easy for the last few weeks, under the be-
lief that no more trouble would be experienced
by theln---taat secessiolisln in Northern Mis-
souri, had been completely wiped out-but
during the past week we have realized that
the trouble is just coming.
Early last Tuesday morning Capt Dale re-
ceived message from Col. Craner, of Gentry
county, Missouri, stating that the secession
lists were gathering in large numbers-that
they were destroying property and killing
Union men-calling upon Iowa for help A
general rallying commenced; and on Friday
morning about 10 o'clock, parts of three com
panies left Bedford for the seat of war. They
reinforced Col Crancr on Sunday, we believe,
who WAS then near Albany, Gentry county
They proceeded south short distance with
force of some 300 or 400 men. The seces-
sionists with a force of 1900 or 1900 men,
made an attack driving our men back two
nights and day, about 40 miles, to within
about t..o miles of the Iowa line, Worth
county
Col Patton, Of the secession forces, has
sworn eternal vengenCe to the Iowa boys
says he will wipe them from the face of the
earth
Coils. Edwards and Hawley were to rein
force the Union men yesterday and to-day,
wednesday, with 1000 men, then there
will be no more retreating by the Union men;
but unless the seceshers scratch their gravel,
there viii be some powder burned 4 rein
forcement is also expected to-day from Page
county.
Our readers viii doubtless be anxiously
AWAITING he result OF the border warfare in
which we are now engaged. We therefore
give them all the intelligence in our possession
at the time Of going to press.

-four one night on its way to the Secesson
