Whatever the remedy may he the people
will cordially approve it, provided 1t proves

great demand for it from all parts of the
country. Every family will want it, and
it can be produced so much cheaper that
it will drive the Southern Swaps from the

THE COST or WAR.

The expenses Of the Government ac-
ord;ng the New York Tribune, are over
100000 per day. This is at the rate of
about fifteen cents daily for every man,
woman and child in the Northern States.
A, this rate the war costs Iowa about $500,
600 every day; about $1,000 every hour,
and over 800 every minute, between sun

THE GOVERNOR OF UTAH.

The telegraph announced a few days
ago that Gov Dawson Of Utah had become
involved in q personal difficulty, and fled
the scene Of his Executive duties, from
whence he had been followed aud over
taken by party of armed men and al
most murdered. The Desert Nc1cs Of the
1st inst contains long article on the
subject, from which we learn that in the
personal difficulty there was a lady involv-
ed, and that for somo time before he left
Salt Lake City he was confined to his room
pretending TO be sick and sometime insane.
We do not pretend to youch for the truth
of these matters, but give them for what
they are worth. The NecS is evidently
much excited, and, though very guarded
a spirit of hatred and anger and bitter
sarcasm runs through the whole article
