the 29th Of July 1 must say that 1the
said meeting was perfect Jaat ont from
its original intention. Many Of the citi-
zens have been grumbling and compliant
ing for tho last six months because there
were few men in town who have been
talking secession doctrines, and wished
that some person would lead off in getting
upa meeting of the citizens for the pur.
pose of passing resolutions to suppress the
said secession talk. Consequently there
was primary meeting held at my store
on the 25;h of July, for ting purpose Of
appointing a. committee to call a general
meeting, and also to draft resolutions to-
be presented at said meeting, and Gas am

resolution that tllis community would not

TIE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY By THE REBELS.
We have before had occasion to refer TO the
vandalism of the Rebels, and to depiere that
species Of outrage and suicide which must inev.
itably tell severely upon the future prospects of
the South. We will say nothing about the loss
of life which has resulted iron, such atrocities
as the burning of railway bridges, but merely
call attention to the great destruction of internal
improvements which has been going on. Many
millions worth Of property have thus been de.
molished by the rude hands OF the despoiler-
What good is ell this to do the South or RAJ
ther, what harm is it not to do? The Southern
people seem blind to the fact that these destroy.
ers of works OF great public utility the great.
est enemies they could have. They are not only
spreading ruin over the land nov, but paving
the way to ruin in the future Ships are not to

people will have to pay dearly for the acts Of

their eyes to the fact that they have been the

only ruin and desolation. This will be the awak.

CHARACTER OF THE REBELLr0N.-The German
mind, with that clear phiosophic insight which
is one of its principal characteristics, discovers
the true nature and bearing Of the revolt against
the quiet OF the United States In late number
of the Pse,nsische Jaartuch an able quarterly
periodical Of Berlin, We find this stated with re.
rkable distinctness and precision. The re-.
volt Of the southern people against the American
Union, Is says, differs FROM every other revolt in
history, and proceeds upon principles altogether
unknown in Europe. II isnot rebellion Of the
people against an unrighteous and oppressive
, authority, but Of dissatisfied class against the
people. II 10 n conflict between . stagnant con-
servatism aud genuine progress, between des.
potism aud liberty, between mater,Alism, loo$ing
to its private ends, and idealism looking to the
good OF the race, between relic Of feudal bar.
barism and the inspirations Of the nineteenth
century.

BURLINGTON, Friday p. m.
In consequence of the extravagant rates de.
manded for freight, the price of wheat has suf.
fered further reduction. The Lake navigation
Will soon close, and the warehouses in Chicago
are yet full. If our farmers could hold back
their produce some slight effect might be pro
duced, but the season is almost too far advanced
tor that. The best advice we can tender them
is that they should strain every effort to hold on
to what they have till next Spring, when the
opening of navigation and the certain foreign
demand will insure them good return for their
crops.
