very unnecessarily drew off their trains

arrangement to give us mails by sleds, but
in violation of their contract they only

they did not even give us that. In the

Ess- On Friday last four soldiers from
the 18th Iowa, and two from the 18th, ar
rived in our town on their way home
ward Two OF them were sick, and the
rest were wounded, one Of them named
KING, from Floyd County, a member of
the 18th, severely, having been struck
with piece of shell in the leg, and also
shot in the arm by one of his own com
rades who stood just behind him in the
fight. They were sent home to make
room in the hospitals for those more ser.
iously wounded. Not being aware that
they were to be sent home, they came
away from their companies poorly provi-
ded with money, and the blockade of the
railroad has increased their difficulties

quarters, and gave them kindly attention,
while DR.. WARNE has beer promptly on

was also taken up among our citizens
for them, and good sum secured, while
Mr.. PORTER the good hearted proprietor
Of the Panorama of Pixies Peak" who
was here with his Show, promptly offered
to show one evening for their benefit, and
did so, assisted by the Independence

have had occasion TO feel that they have
fallen into the hands of Good Samaritans,

More and worse.

EtF That's what we've got to say
about the snow this week. We've had a
good deal more OF it, and of worse quail,
ty Ithas come down with a 6ercenass and
vindiciyeness that has made its coming
very unwelcome. Saturday night gave
us one of the worst storms of the season,
in fact the very worst. The wind sent
the thickly falling flakes around every
corner, into every crevice, with search
ing power. All day Sunday the storm
continued, piling the snow into great
drifts, filling up the roads, and making
them almost impossible. The depth Of
snow probably exceeds any that has ever
before fallen in this region. One OF our
citizens, who has ,ed in Iowa IL years,
says he never saw SO much snow at one
time, since he came to the State. The
energy with which Conductor NORTH
Rup has been laboring 10 open the rail
road westward during the whole week,
has all been expended in vain, for the
road is now fuller than ever before, though
probably less firmly packed Had the
Clerk of the weather special spite
against the Railroad Company he could
not operate to give il more trouble. or in
way that would trouble its small soul
more effectually. As soon as the men
have got the road partly cleared little
fall of snow and good blow has cover
ed it up again. Conductor CAwLEY, in
the early part of the week, had opened
the way to Manchester, and ran his train
thore for few days. with an occasional
interruption from drifts. JIM NoRrnRuP
worked all the week between this point
and Jesup, and probably has not
yet reached Raymond. Both are, now, OF
course, entirely showed in again, and
when they are to get out is more than
any of US can surmise. With our usual
March winds. and this body of snow, the
prospect is decidedly dreary one.

again been without mail from the East.
LII this is not villainous treatment we
should like to know what it is proper TO
call it. During these exciting times,
with rumors Of conflicts, going on and
impending, sweeping over the county
conflicts, in which our brothers and
friends are, or are likely to be, engaged,
we are denied, By the faithlessaess Of this
corporation, access to details with even
that promptitude that towns possessing
a tri-weekly mail have secured. Our
produce dealers have suffered in being
cut off from their correspondents and
from news, and sharpers have made, so
the Dubuque Herald says, thousands of
dollars out of our people by our mail fail
ures. How can the Dubuque and Sioux
City Railroad company expect to retain
the good wishes of our people-how can
they have the face to ask our Representa-
tives to vote to release them from their
obigations-when they are thus careless
of our interests and wishes =? We appre
ciate their difficulties in running their
trains, but we do not see any good reas-
on why they should not give us our
mails by sled when the roads have been
opened as they have heretofore been.
In this connection we desire TO say that
the Dubuque Post Office has done all in
its power to forward the mails promptly.
The whole matter rests with the contrac.
tors. Such service as they give, tie
post.oilices are required to put up with.
The postmasters have no power whatever
to increase the service that the contract
ors choose to give. The Department alone
settles the matters with the contractors.

If therefore, we of the North are to

common justice entitled to it when pur-
chased ? We speak for a boy about l6
years old as our share tor 1862!
But to be serious, and it is serious
matter, does Senator Wilson or anybody
else, suppose the people of the North and
West will vote to pay these "install-

dhIn a,hArr OF ,KssNnh.

The President estimates that an equal dis.
tnbutiun OF negroes among the whites would
give one negro to seven whites, and asks
'Could the one in amy way greatly distull
the sevenF' Ono to seven would give Mil
lcrsburg about 200 negro es, and Holmes coun-
iy some 5000. We are inclined to tho be
lief that this number 4 miserable, degraded
creatures, without any means of subsistence,
thrown upon our town and county would
"greatly disturb" the white population. Their
presence would tell in dcgcucratcd morals, in
the support Of paupcls, and in endless con
tcntion and strife between the two races.
