PRAIRIE F,RE.-The dry weather
Of the last few days has rendered the
prairies very dry, and much loss of
property has been sustained from the
negligence Of parties setting out fires
and neglecting to properly watch and
guard against their spreading.
Among the sufferers We hear the
name Of M. Michael Montague men
toned, who lost . good lumber wagon,
about 40 tons Of hay-all he had-his
sheds and stables large proportion
Of his wheat, threshed and in tho bin,
and barely saved his house also Mr..
Wilson suffered severely, sustaining the
loss Of his entire amount Of hay, be-
sides other damages also Mr.. G. H.
Russell, who We learn sustained loss
Of not only hi' hay, but also of his
wheat. These men are all lily pre-
pared for such calamity, at such a
time a. this. Parties setting out 6ree
for their own protection cannot 30 toe
careful Of the injury they may do thei,
neighbors. p o+'

place in the United States Senate that
"the man who quotes the Constitution
in this great crisis is a traitor" .
Daniel Webster, o patriot of nobler

GoLD.-Some one has said that
''noney land nothing is money but
gold, silver, and "copper" is the root of
all evil" If this be so, there is little
reason why the people of Iowa should
be radically bad. But the brokers at
the east seem bent on utterly demoral-
izing their population, having previous
ly sent their home missionaries west
ward. Some of these brokers offer
1929 for gold. This is a sure indi-
cation that paper money is only worth
II cents on the dollar. Nevertheless
Hammerslough Bros, McGrcgor, still
continue to sell the choicest kind of
clothing at gold prices, and take paper
money in payment. Look for the red
sign, on the public square. -

II the government adopts . rule
that it will hang every horse thief, no
one but horse thieves are affected by
the rule, and, therefore, none but horse
thieves have n right or will take the
trouble to complain. Upon tho same
principle, if the government adopts tn
rulethat it will arrest, imprison and
suspend the writ Of Habeas Corpus as
to all who are guilty Of reasonable
practices, only those who are guilty Of
such practices are affected by the rule,
and they alone will be disposed to COM
plain.--Pocket City Ne,p,.
But if the government adopts rule
that all persons suspected by their
enemies of being horse thieves shall be
hung by a mob, without trial or proof
Of guilt who then is affected by the
rule =? the horse thieves or those who
would thwart them in their violation Of
the good order Of society, and Of the
law Of the land? Does not every SEN
sible man see that he who would steal
would be the first to cry thief; that he
would to be rid of tho honest watch.
falness Of his law abiding neighbor,
be the first to suspect him of stealing =?
And if the government adopts \ rule
that al persons complained of by their
personal and political enemies As being
guilty Of reasonable practices, shall be
imprisoned and held without trial, and
denied the benefit of Habeas Corpus
during imprisonment, is not every
man who has personal or political
enemy in the land unsafe ? 1t seems
so to Us aud this is really what the
government has done, authorized i'm
prisonment for suspicion Of guilt, the
informant being some malicious enemy
or envious neighbor, and then denied
the accused the right Of . trial to estab-
lish his innocence of all crime. No
other government but that Of Abraham
Lincoln, Of all enlightened nations on
the face Of the earth is suficie ntly
stepped in despotism to adopt such .
principle as this, and none but . peo-
pie prepared for the shackles will long
submit to it.

Since the late Federal reconnaissance
into Virginia, the rebels have again
extended their pickets TO the Potomac.
Washington advices mention that there
is tremendous pressure for . forward
movement Of the army under Gen. Nc
Clsllan. The servile conspiracy in
Virginia is thought to extend through
Sc, eral counties. Seventeen negroes
have already been executed. A gen.
tleman from Culpepper comfy express
SEES the opinion that, in case Of . rebel
retreat, there will be general upris
ing of the slaves in Eastern and Gen.
trail Virginia.
tits believed that Bragg has succeeded
in eluding Buell., and is now in Tenn.
Our correspondent has news of Buell's
movements, but he is not permitted to
telegraph it. Dumont is in pursuit Of
John Morgan, and there are some hopes
that he will bag him. Eight members
Of the Chicago Sanitary Csmmis sion
were captured by Morgan near Bards-
town. They were paroled, and have
reached Louisville. They lost all the
stores they we're taking for the Perry
vile wounded.
A Richmond paper expresses appre-
hension that there will soon be despe-
rate effort made by the Federals to
force iron-clads past the Notifications
at Drury's Bluff. The battle of Per-
ryville, KY, it appears, is claimed .s a
rebel victory, and tho Richmond Er.

to the GAINESVILLE Gazette, Senator
Doolittl' says: "Ipould make ne

this disgusting policy We are fighting ?

Yes, for that and only that is the

FARcE.-We have the most indisputa-
bic evidence that in the DIST Regiment
Iowa Infantry, located at Rolla Mo-,
the democratic tickets were destroyed
by the republican officials, and those
who persisted in their determination to
vote the democratic ticket were put in
the guard house for the day. Such is
the treatment Iowa boys receive at the
hands Of such pure patriots, such
schreechers for free soil, free speech,
and an untrammelIed ballot as Col.
Sam. Merrill. We hear Of similar out
RACES in other regiments, but have
nothing to confirm the report; but still
that they should be true is in such
strict keeping with the violated pledg.
es and broken promises Of the party
that we believe them.
