FROM RIO JANE1Bo.-Adyices from Rio are to
the sth of December. As is usual in the summer
season, some places were suffering severely from
drouth, and q great deal of misery among the poor
country people was the consequence. The EN-
peror had subscribed $1,000 for the relief of Bahia,
where the suffering is the greatest. From the
election returns which had been received from the
provinces, it would seem that the Government
party were likely to have majority in the new
Assembly. The I'd of December the Emperors
birthday was celebrated with great reioicings,
" Te Deam, 2 etc., all over the empire. Exchange
on London continued at previous rates. The I'M
favorable news from the European markets had
produced decline in coffee of 25o to 500 res the
arroba. From the oath of November to December
the sales Of coffee for expectation to the United
States amounted to 700 sacks for other places,
10000. Total Of sales, 93s 100.

ADDRESS.

10 the Farmers and Mechanics of Lee
coanty,Ly the PresideatcfMe Lee Coun-
~ agricultural association.
At a special meeting of the Board Of
Directors Of the Lee county Agricultural
Society, held at West Point the 9th of this
month, it was resolved to hold the annual
Fairat West Point, on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, the I'd, Sd and 4th days
in October, 1861, as heretofore published
in pamphlet There will be no change in
the programme as set forth in the small
pamphlets issued by the Society, unless
from the stringency Of money matters the
receipts should fall short; in which case
the Society will deduct from the premi-
ums, such per eentage AS will be equal
and equitable to ALL
The Board of Directors make this an
nouncement, SO that there may be no dis
content on the part of exhibitors, in the
event of such course becoming necessary
to pay the premiums and prevent the So
cicty from again running in debt
The Society is now clear of debt, and
We deem it of the utmost Importance to
its future prosperity to keep it SO. feel
confident, however, that the Society will be
in condition to pay all the premiums in
full, according to the published list, which
is more extensive than ever before, and
the premiums nearly double those Of any
society in the State. As premiums are
confined except in swsspstakes) to citi-
zens Of this county alone, whatever money
may be paid in, by its patrons, will be
again distributed among the citizens of the
county
Owing to the condition of the State
Treasury, the $500 which we annually re-
ceive from the State, will not be available
at the time Of the Fair. But to obyiate
this difficulty, the President has agreed to
advance that money, and also to devote
from his private fund, $50, to meet any
deficiency which may arise in paying off
the premiums in full. Thus, it win be
seen, that the Society will have at its dis
posal, on the day Of the opening Of the
Fair, cash capital Of $3.50 to pay in pre-
miums independent Of the regular proceeds
Of the Fair. Under such circumstances
there can be no reasonable doubt Of the
Fair proving a successful one.
But In order to further advance its in
teresis, the President now offers the fol-
lowing independent premiums, to wit -

For the best pair of mems yarn socks, |

second best, 81. For the best loaf of wheat
bread, premium of S3 and the second
best, S2--the socks and bread to be made
by lady in Lee county. All the socks
and bread offered in competition for the
premiums to be the property of the Society,
the socks to be distributed among the sol
diers now in the service of the u. s., and
the bread to be distributed among the in
digent families of the soldiers.
Now, ladies of Lee county, you have a
chance of liberal premiums for your handi-
work, and chance to do your country some
service in providing for the noble men and
their families who are now battling so
hravely in defense of our beloved Union
| trust the ladies of the county will re-
spond literally to these offers, by attend
ing the Fair themselves bringing stacks of
socks and bread, and everything else which
will add to their department of the exhi-
bi ion.

Society. | would respectfully urge you not
to let the Society languish for the want of
patronage this. year; but to make more
exertion to keep it up than you have ever
done Remember that failure will be
its ruin, from which recovery will be i'm

forts to make the next Fair the most bril-
liant we have ever had.

EDITOR GATE CITY: Permit stranger
to occupy small space in your paper for
the purpose of indicating the character
of one of your citizens. | am panied to
learn that report has been circulated in
YOUR city that Col. w. Ii. Worthington
of the 9Th Regiment Iowa volunteers had
been ordered to st. Louis and placed un-
der arrest for disobedience to orders from
headquarters.
Col Worthington went to St. Louis a
few days since on business connected with
the 9th Regiment, and took with him
some prisoners, which were turned over to
the proper authorities there. After he
had finished his business he returned to
his command, and so far as being arraigned
for disocedlence or any other cause is con-
cerned, is but the basest fabrication, while
the facts are that Col. Worthington has
received the most decided approval in all
his movements from his superiors and en-
joys the most unlimited regard of every
officer in his command. | merely make
this statement that the citizens of Iowa
may be put right in their views Of the
commander of our regiment, and in doing
SO have not consulted the feelings Of the
Colonel. Yours truly,

70 Reg. Iowa Vol, Aug. "a, locl.t
To the People Of Davis County, lo,ea ;
1t will be remembered by the readers
of the Democratic Clarion, that while the
I'd Iowa Regiment was in rendezvous at
keokuk, series of resolutions were adopt
ed by our company, condsmning in pretty
severe terms, certain of the acts of one
Harvey Dunlavy and Marion L. Hotch
kiss, in the late extra session of the Iowa
Legislature believing, as we did, that
that they in whose hands we had conf
IDENTIFY placed our interests, did most
basely betray that confidence reposed in
them, misrepresenting the will of the peo-
Pile, and bringing dishonor upon the coun-
ty. 1t will also be remembered that both
these gentlemen published letters in the
county paper in vindication Of their acts,
in which they concluded that the minds
of the Boys were biased by the influ-
ence of the officers of our Company, as
though we, the on-commissioned officers
and privates of Company &C" were weak
enough to be influenced in matter of
that kind, as though we were dishonest
enough to subscribe to a thing We did not
believe Now, the purpose We have in
publishing this circular is to exonerate the
officers of this company from any COM
plicity whatever in originating those reso
lutions. They were the will and wish of
the "Boys" of this company, uninfusnced
by any one. Furthermore, we take this
opportunity to re-affirm those resolutions,
word for word, and letter for letter, with
out the advice of any officer of this or any
other company.
We entered the service of the United
States for the purpose of maintaining our
Government and its institutions, laying
aside all party feeling and party prejudice,
actuated. as We trust, by sense of duty
higher than all party, we regret that
we left behind US those holding the opin-
ions of Harvey Dunlavy and Marion L.
Hotchkiss, where they occupy places of
trust and profit, and We hope that the
true Union elements of our county may
unite and displace those, the tendencies
of whose opinions are worse than open Sc
cession.
Trusting that our course is understood
by our fellow citizens of old Davis, wesub-
scribe ourselves.
