A contraband who left Richmond
says the city is in a terrible state of
confusion. There were no troops in
the city except those doing guard
duty. No signs of evacuation were
manifest but, on the contrary, every
thing shows the intention of q deter.
mined resistance. The house tops in
Richmond were covered with people,
on Sunday, expecting our troops
would be driven into the Chickahomi-
ny 4; but when they saw the rebels
run, the greatest CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed.
Two dcsertcrs report General Joe
Johnson seriously If not mortally
wounded through the groin, by a
Mimic ball during the late battle.
Gen. G. w. Smith now commands the
rebels. Other information corroborates
this, also that the rebel loss is est.

missing. No material change has
occurred in the cnemy's position.

Secretary Stanton, in response to
the inquiry of the House, says cxplic-
lily that Gov. Stanley has not been
instructed by the Government to pre-
vent the education Of children, white
or black, in North Carolina. That
the Department has no official infor-
nation that he has interfered to pre-

Cotton In Iowa,

Cotton can be grown successfully
in Iowa. We were shown yesterday
specimen of cotton yarn, strong and
serviceable, the material of which it
was composed having been cultivated
on the farm of Joel Davis. near Pal.
myra, Warren County. 1t was plant
ed about the LIST Of June, 1861, and
came to maturity without the least
difficulty. Mr.. Davis says that cotton
may as well he grown in Iowa as
North Carolina. He has cultivated il in
both these States, and it succeeds at
well here as in the Carolinas. If is
is fact demonstrated that cotton can
be carried on successfully in iowa, no
time should be lost in its prompt cul-
tivation.--Register

The rebel jackson, whose raid on
Gen. Banks division was noticed last
week, came near being bagged by
Gen. Fremont, who marched a hun
''dred miles across the mountains to
intercept his retreat. He came upon
IJackson's forces near Strasburg,
formed in line of battle, but the reb.
els rctreated without a fight. From
''Strasburg he pursued them to Wood.
stock, where he was at last accounts
encamped, the enemy being about 8
miles beyond. Several skirmishes
took place during the retreat, in which
the rebels lost considerably. Jack.
son has about thirty thousand troops
1t is thought he will be forced to fight
or abandon the ground entirely.

The DEBORAH Republic tells big sto.
rics about the late storm and frcshet
on the Upper Iowa river. 1t says
on the authority Of Esquire Brown,
that "a stone 6 feet long p feet wide
and inches thick was removed by
the force of the food some ten rods p
and that too "upon Franklin Prairie,
high aud dry, where water is (at) a
premium" The Turkey river rose 2
feet ia eight or nine hours. Many
large fields planted with corn were SO
washed that the owners will SOW them
with oats. Mr.. Munson's steam saw
mill at New Oregon was swept away
and is complete wreck. The Tur-
key was 81 feet higher than was ever
known before. Many cattle and swine
were lost.

the most efFectual remedy which the medical

Hence it should be employed for the cure of
