Returned.

Returned.
Ey- Hon. JED LAKE reached home
on Saturday last, from Des Mones.
JED is one of those uncommonly fortu-
nate individuals who have more offices
thrust upon them than they know what
TO do with. The Governor has appointed
him Lieut.. Colonel and the President
has made him Collector of Federal taxes
for this Congressional district Howev.
err, after consulting with his friends, he
has concluded to decline the civil and
accept the military position. His COM
mission dates from tho 4,h of September.
and he has now joined his regiment, tho
eth, at Dubuque. JED has we'll per-
formed his duties wherever he has been
placed. and we feel sure his course in
the service will reflect additional credit
upon him. His appointment is certain
ly gratifying to our people.

The County Fair.

The County Fair.
EE The Annual Fair of the Agricul-
tural Society, has been postponed till
Wednesday and Thursday, the 24;h and
25 h of September. This has been done
SO as not to interfere with the Excursion
10 Camp Franklin, Dubuque, to visit the
Soldiers.
Through some inadvertence, in our
absence last week, the list of committees
was not published in oul last paper
1t will be found elsewhere.
Ii is to be hoped that general atten
dance may be had at the Fair, and thai
there may be a liberal display of prod
ucts and ofanimals. Let every man and
woman exert himself and herself TO make
the Fair interesting and instructive
These occasions, rightly regarded, and
rightly used, must be profitable and ben
ticially 10 the County.

An Irish Regiment.

~- Col. G.. M. O'BRIEN, of Dubu
que, gave us call last week. Col. o.
BRIEN has authority from the War De-
partner, and from the Governor to raise
an Irish Regiment in this State, to form
part of Gen. Corcoran's brigade. We
know the Colonel, and know that he will
make fine officer, and no Irish man
need desire to so in better regiment,
or under better man. He informs us
that the prospect for an early completion
of the regiment is very fair.
JOHN SEXTON and PATRICK Nc GAvocK
OF this place, are enga sed in getting up
company for this regiment. They are
good men, industrious, energetic, sober
and honorable. We know no more
worthy hands to which this labor could
fall, and we sincerely hope that they
may be successful. Irishmen have been
foremost on the side of loyalty in this
contest, and have mingled their blood
freely with those of other nationalties on
the battle. fields Of the Republic. True
hearted Irishmen are everywhere rally
ing to the standard of the gallant Cor
coRAN, and we don't believe those of
Buchanan County will stand back Let
all who can 60, come forward now, when
the liberties of their adopted country are
in peril. They secure large bounty,
so in a regiment of their own nationality,
and are to be led by tried men of their
own country.

Coo Ks Evaporation.

GY- In our advertising column will
be found an advertisement Of this popu.
ular machine. We have recently seen
three samples Of Sugar made upon this
Evaporator, last year, by gentlemen in
the lower part Of the State, and like sew
eral othor samples previously shown us
by Mr. RANSOM BARrLE, the agent, they
are excellent in grain and color. The
greatest portion of the samples of Sorgh
um Sugar that have been exhibited about
the country, have been made upon this
evapoator, showing that the machine
fully meets the conditions Of sugar man
uiacture. This is the best evidence of
the value Of the machine, and as the time
for working the cane is now close at
hand. we advise those who want eyapo-
rators 10 apply to Mr.. BARrLE, and ex.
anime his evidences Of the etficienov of
Cook 5.

Au Old stOrI u ow Political Preachipg was
Cured.

The Hartford Tunes relates the following:
A Congregational Church, in q neighbor-
ing State, got so completely enlisted in one
of the Presidential contests, that little at
tention was given to religious questions.
The minister was constantly preaching,
praying and exhorting upon political issues,
and his deacons and the laymen followed
suit at the prayer and conference meetings.
Finally worthy old farmer, one of the
stsnchest and best members Of the church,
and q firm, undertaking Democrat, was
called upon to offer prayer.
70, Lord" said he, uphold the Demo-
cratic party, which has received thy sup
port ever since the great Jefiersonian strug-
gle. Continue to bless that party which
has, under thy protection and providence,
brought great blessings upon this Republic.
II II be thy pleasure, and believe 1t will be,
0, carry that party through this struggle to
q competent triumph. o, bless the oppo-
nents of Democracy personally, but utterly
destroy their fanatical and injurious schemes,
If it be thy will to do go, as verify believe
it is. Be on the side of Democracy, o, Lord
as thou hast been, and the people of this
country will once more settle down in their
peaceful pursuits, instead of warning wick
edly, section against section, interest against
interest, and man against his brother. And,
oh, l beseech thee especially to free the
Christian Churches from the political strife
and bitterness which are rending them
asunder, destroying their usefulness, and
turning them unhappily into mere political
associations. Let US hear something of thy
word and mercy on the Sabbath. We have
already been piled to fullness with political
fapaticism, and our minister has become a
stump orator against the good old party
which thou, in thy wisdom, has upheld SO
long, and so repeatedly guided to victory,
ard sustained in the establishment Of sound
measures. Oh, turn his mind from these
things, and direct his attention to his iegiti-
mate religious duties or turn him over di-
rectly into the hands of the Federal or Abo.
lition party, and let them take care of him
and provide US true Minister of the Gospel
At any tate, the present state of things can
not last. Ifpolitics are TO rule, shall claim
one. half the time in behalf of the Democratic
Party so that there may be fair discussion
within these walls. Amen"
This was stumper. 1t was the first
prayer ever publicly offered in that church
for the success of the Democratic party and
its nominees, though hundreds of prayers
and exhortations had been made against tha
party. When the old man flushed, ther;
was a silence of half an hour, and the meet
ing then adjourned. And thus ended thu
political preaching in that church. Frou
that time forward the minister attended Il
his gospel duties, aud left all political ques
| tions to be settled outside of the church
Again the society prospered, and there wa
better feeling among its members-mor
| Christian charity, more brotherly love. Th
old mans earnest prayer was answered il
| more respects than one
