Licely.--As we returned from dinner yes
terday we counted forty teams loaded with
produce, on Main street, within the space of
two blocks. There were as many more scat
tered around other business points in the
town. 1t was refreshing sight. .

'Ninplasters.-The Iowa City Reporter says
that in consequence of the great scarcity of
silver change some of the merchants of that
place have issued "shinplasters" of small de-
nominations. They are made payable on de-

merchants labor under the same difficulty.

\ T. q. Heeti@y-The Post Office Meeting
held week ago last evening was certainly
| the loudest meeting we ever attended in the
State. After calling j. M. OvERMAN, ESQ. to
the Chair, and appointing d. ALLEN, Esq.
Secretary, on motion the meeting proceeded
to take an informal ballot to designate the
victim, which action disclosed the startling
fact that something less than one-third of
those present were aspirants,-and when we
say that the School House was damned al
most to suffocation, our readers may perhaps
form some idea of the number willing to sac
rifice themselves for the benefit of the CON-
munity. The result showed that G. NJ.
HARRIS had SO votes, G. c. DEAN 81, and
the rest all varying from one to sixteen. As
soon as the result was announced motion
was made to adjourn for two months, and the
question being called for by the Chair, the
ayes and noes were about equal in volume,
the Chair was unable to decide, and it being
impossible to divide the house on account of
every part being filled, the question was put
again. The yell that went up on the part of
the "ayes' was perfectly deafening, and was
prolonged till the voters were out of breath
In the meantime the "noes" got a good
ready, and when their turn came went in
with will and for the life of us we could
not tell which side did make the most noise.
Both parties used their lungs, hands and feet
promiscuously in swelling the chorus. The
Chairman then very properly adjourned the
meeting, for it was evident to him, and every
body else present, that the whole affair as
being conducted was a mere farce.

Editors for r. M's.-In looking over our
exchanges we see that several Of our editorial
brethren are coming before the people asking
for their favor to enable them to secure the
appointment of Postmasters for their several
localities. Among these are the editor of the
Times, Cedar Rapids, Journal, Muscatinc,
Journal Waukon, and Neacs, Mt Vernon
This has set us a laundering after the "Ioavcs
and fishes" and if the citizens of Cedar Falls
think that we have done, or arc doing, any
thing deserving of their favor, and wish to
render their paper that substantial aid which
will place the GAZETTE upon permanent
foundation, they ca do so by securing for Us
the appointment Of z. NJ. for this place-.Sen
Lcctures.-Remembe that AUSTIN ADAMS,
of Dubuque, lectures before the Horticultural
Society this evening. The Dubuque Times
in addition to copying our notice of last week,
says: ave promise our friends of Cedar
Falls most entertaining address, as Mr..
ADAMS occupies high position here at home
as gentleman of fine literary tastes and un-
usual ability. He is decidedly rising man"
DIR. HENRY S. CHASE, of independence,
who was announced for a lecture on "Hor-
Hculture," January 25th, has communicated
to the Corresponding Secretary, that, believ-
ing he can deliver more acceptable dis
course on the preservation of the teeth, than
on the one announced, requests that notice
be given that his subject will be "Denticu!-
tu'v, or the art Of PRESCRIBING the Teeth."
Turning 7o,cards DuonQue.--Already have several
Of merchants commenced shipping their goods VIA
Dubuque and Independence and of them we learn
repensing their stock in the former place. finding
they purchase at full low figures there in Chca
60 thus saving the freight between those points
We confident others will do likewise, If Dubuque deal
ers make the proper effort to introduce themselves and
their business facilities to merchants and radesmen
The above we clip from the Vinton Eagle.
1t is true that the merchants of Dubuque
have not in the past used adequate measures
to secure the trade west of them, which nat
urafly belongs to them, and which they could
have, would they but use 1.-THE of the ef-
forts put forth by other localities to draw the
business beyond them. Dubuque is so stu
ated, and is possessed of the necessary advan-
tages, to make it the commercial mart of this
region, if her business men will but act accor-
dinghy.
Dubuque can secure the trade of this sec
ton if she will, and this all that she wants to
put her on the high road to prosperity She
must make her claims known, and not keep
quiet while other points reap the benefits be-
longing to her. The merchants of that CITY
must not act upon the policy that seemed to
govern one to whom we preached the subject
of advertising, said he: ats no use /
wouldn't give two cents for the trade of your
region,-we never sell any goods to your
merchants, for they always go on to Chicago,
or farther cast" Now this man had never
made the first effort to secure our trade, and
yet complained that the trade all passed by
him.

We believe the powers that be have de-

the elections held In. Western Virginia, are
deemed by that act to endorse the Goverii-
meht as restored aud Tiudieated by the
Wheeling Convention OF the lIth June

said Government byswOrds OF acts, will be
dealt with as traitors, and will have meas

above, our poll books should be made ont
for the coming election so as to record the

quired to take the oath Of allegiance or
not count the vots. We presume this

A card from the editor Of the Richie
Couuty Democrat, candidate for the Con-
vention to be held in wheeling in Novem-
Der:
We announced ourself last week as a
candidate for seat IN the Convention to
frame Constitution for the State of Ra-
nawhn, and that the people may know ex-
nctly where 70 find Us, we deem ii prudent
aud right in these days Of danger and trnit-
orism 70 give our views IN black and
white. The wind cannot blow them away
.EEhen thus committed to paper In the
first place, We believe the secession fever
is manifestly burning itself outs The
Union men, who are such at heart, are
more frm in the good cause thah ever
The desPenAdoes Of Missouri are rapidly
falling hack toward and into Arkansas.-
Gen. Roseerans is advancing his army in
Western Virginia, is demOralizing the en-
tire army. Gen. Mcclellan desires nothing
So much as Rn attack upon WashiugtOn.-
We have thought we were sound on the
Union question In all its phases, but we
intend TO be more so in the future. We
have come to the conclusion that our con-
stituents are tired OF indecisiOn and nncer-
tnihty. Peace, peace, Is the cry Vi the
weak and trembling. We believe the way
to have peace is for the secessionists 10
throw down their arms, 20 home aud obey
the laws as their ancestors did--there will
be peace then at once. They can have
peace on the same terms that their falhefs
had it, and on no other. There is no fact
more patent than that secession has seen
its best days In the South and everywhere
else-mark that.
We believe tho present war is for the
preservation Of the Government that an
uBholy war OF Rebellion is wHged With no
sort OF warrantOr justification, not a war
against the Republicans, the Democrats,
the Wings, or the Americans, but against
\ the whole loyal people OF the Government,
