Thus situated, the cry comes TO us from

party remains in power. We desire 10
believe that the President and his advis-
ers wish TO restore the bonds Of Union
and peace, but their policy and measures
tend so directly to tho permanent dis
memberment Of the nation, that we feel
compelled to believe that they intend 10
widen and deepen the breach between the
North and South to such degree that IT
shall become an impossible guilt. sil
Then let the watch still be-, drive the
radicals from the places they. occupy and
abuse, and bring democrats and conserva-

and in the National Administration. Re

On the first Monday of April next,
you will be called upon to elect, in addi-
tion to your township officers, Judge Of
the Supreme Court, Circuit Judge for
each of the ten Judicial Circuits Of the
State, and a Board Of Regents for the
State University. A few weeks before
that time it will be necessary to hold your
State, District aud County Conventions.
In the fall canvass the proper political
organization was doubtless perfected in
most Of the counties, but still II is believ-
ed that in many localities such organiza-
ton is defective, and that it may be i'm
proved and rendered more effective in all,
A personal attention to this subject is urg-
ed upon the attention Of county, city,
township and ward committees. Prompt,
thorough, united action, constitute the
sure means of victory, .. "a, y. ...,
The common enemy will not be idle
whether you are or not. The patronage
of the State and National Administra.
tions, unparalleled in the history of this
country, will be brought to bear against
you, and you must meet this influence
like freemen, determined still to be free
Your righteous cause and your patriotic
motives, will commend your action to the
people. Let your duty be performed, and
such action will be crowned with gloriou:
victory. Let deliberate and determined
purpose characterize your conduct, and
we can not doubt of "speedy emanci
patton of the State. Once moro le,
the ballot-box speak. You now act un
der the prestige of victory all about you
let the work, therefore, which was well be-
gun and far advanced in November last
be completed at the spring election.

trail Committee.

A CRIsIs IN MARRIAGES IMPENDING.
One of our exchanges deliberately gives
the following notice, just when cold
weather is fairly commencing, and mar
riages are supposed to be most frequent:
"Marriage notices, hereafter, to be pub
lished, must be accompanied with one
dollar. All those contemplating matri-
mony will govern themselves according
ly. Those not willing to pay that sum
for having their happiness published to
the world, are too sordid to have any en-.
joyment even in connubial bliss"

So much news-reading, story-reading,
and reading for the mere luxury of feel
ing, as is practiccd by our people, is about
as bad as no reading at all. It is dis
tracting, dissipating, and enervating to
the mind. 1t is like tree growing all
to bark, or all to leaves, to insure its top
pling over by its own weight, for the lack
Of solid timber to give it support.

A BUFFALO exchange recommends its
readers to exercise themselves before
breakfast by climbing up and down the

should be four story one, it will en-
large the muscles, and give the climber
voracious appetite; and, besides, the ex-
ercise is very cheap.

A WOMAN BURNED TO A CRIsp.-In
Cleveland, on Friday woman named
Mrs. Murray, borrowed bottle of oil
with which TO dress her hair. Mrs, Muir
ray placed the bottle upon the stove in
order to warm it. The bottom Of the
bottle soon few of, on account of the
heat, and its contents, taking fire on the
instant, were thrown upon tho person Of
Mrs. M, whose garments were soon one
mass Of flames. The poor woman rush.
ed up stairs into the room Of her neigh
Dor and made frantic appeals for assist
ance. Little relief did she find here, how
ever, for her neighbor Immediately lost all
presence of mind, and, instead Of taking
steps to put out the fire, she fled from the
burning womau's presence. Mrs. Murray
then ran down stairs and into the street,
and, uttering, in her agony the most
heart-rending screams, attracted the at
tention Of gentleman near who hurried
TO her assistance and succeeded in smoth-
ering the flames.
The physician who was called in i'm
mediately found that the unfortunate
woman had been burned in the most hor-
rid manner from her knees to the top Of
her bead-in some places to an actual
crisp, the flesh having the appearance Of
roasted meat, as in fact it literally was.

A New ENrERPRIsE.-The prclimina-
ry steps have been taken to bore for salt in
this city. A subscription to stock has
been circulated, and a sufficient number
of shares taken to warrant the formation
Of a company, and the commencement Of
operations at once. 1t is believed that
brine can be found, by boring from 500
to 500 feet, equal in strength TO any yet
found in the State. The enterprise is in
the hands of some Of our most energetic
citizens, and we may look for sail, if any
is to be found underlying the surface in
this vicinity. Should the boring prove
successful, and salt be found, it will prove
of incalculable benefit to our city. &C.

This old aud we'll known firm have Just
received their spring stock Of Goods. In
company with the Colonel we yesterday
took running and also birds-eye view
of the stock, and we're surprised at the
immense quantity of prints, muslins,

How any firm would venture, in such
times as these, to lay in 80 large a stock,
was the mystery to us. But the fact il
people must have goods, and there is an
immense scope Of country up the Des
Noines and over in Missouri to be sup
piled, and somehow Cox and Shelley have
been called ON to furnish the supplies. -
They arc popular dealers, and having the
means Of supplying the demands Of the
trade, they naturally get the trade. And
that's the how Of il. The stock Just re-
ceived was bought by Colonel Shelley
himself, mostly from manufacturers, ON
advantageous terms, and it will be sold at

MEssRs. EDIToRs 1t has been repre-

sons, supposed to belong to the Iowa f7th
Regsment. have committed outrages upon
the persons and property Of citizens, such
as using indecent language to females,
visiting houses and insulting the inmates,
and in one instance despoiling dwelling
house. And it has further been repre-
sented that all these outrageous excuses
have been the fruits of drunkenness. We
therefore require all soldiers to abstain
from intoxicating drinks, and especially
not to visit places where intoxicating
liquors are sold; and we give notice that
every soldier found intoxicated or prowl.
ing about the streets at an unusual hour,
will be visited with severe punishment
It has also been represented that soldiers
have been in the habit Of disposing Of Sut-
ler's tickets for liquors at half price, 80.
We notify all persons that oil such tickets
are valueless for intoxicating drinks. We
further appeal to cur citizens; men and
women, not to sell liquor to any soldier Of
the 18th.
Should this appeal be disregardcd, and
our soldiers be made crazy to prey upon
our citizens, the rigor Of the law, civil and
military. viii be visited on the offenders.
We have young men under our charge
who are entrusted to us by their parents !;
we have men who are seeking reformation.
Shall we, therefore, make this appeal 10

will aid US in our efforts to protect per-
sons and property and preserve the health
and morals Of our men.
