the rules of war; Lincoln cant bring these paroled

the British Minister at Washington, inquring what
should be done in cases where Cotton belonging to
British subjects had been burnt by the Confederate

the opinion of Her Majestys Government that foreign

States, will have ground of complaint against the

should be destroyed with the sanction Of that govern

The market during the past week has wild consd
erng the Chicago prices Wheat would decline in Chicago
and go up in Cedar Falls but towards the latter part
the week buyers got little calm and prices ruled
steady at 624 $685. with upward tendency. We
happily disappointed in noting the firm feeling, and begin
to think it will remain so for some time. We must say
few words to our buyers here Gas the an is with
them than it'll the farmer large proportion of the
wheat going forward is going No. 9 his they know,
some them to their sorrow The of this very
easy to ethe farmers have it for time. The
wheat is too dusty Wheat, oats, chat, weeds, sticks

not right. Iowa has formerly borne good reputation
for wheat but she will lose at the present way
doing business. We think the farmer who takes pains
clean his wheat ought to receive the benefit Of it, and not
be obliged to sell at the rate his neighbor who
brings right from the machine, or yet goes the
mill and gets screenings and everything that lays round
loose and mixes it with his wheat and brings the
street and gets the top of the market. We reliably
informed that this kind ofsusiness has played out in Chi
cago, and wheat will be inspected as to its merits

would like to publish the letter in full-but
tits too late. We make the following extract:
Capt. SMITH and Sergt. PUIvER left last
morning, with ten more from the regiment,
to recruit in Iowa. l hope they will be sue
cessful, and fill our ranks up to their full
number once more. And would advise all
those ofmy friends that wish to enlist in their
country's cause to join some old regiment, for
there they will have the experience Of old Of
ticers and comrades, and will have much
easier time of it. They Will not have to drill
near so much, for being put into the ranks
with old soldiers they will soon learn to con-
form to the right time and motions"

siderably heated. Under them crcumstan-

City Brewery. A key Of beer was got out

Ne Plus.-C. BRADLEY, Esq, has present
ed us with half bushel Of Ne Plus Ultra
Tomatoes, and they are worthy of their name
for they certainly are ahead of anything We
ever saw before in the tomato line. They
are very large, solid and splendid looking
Mr.. BRADLEY makes the cultivation of choice
fruits and vegetables a speciality, and by the
procuring of choice seeds, and the bestowing
of unremitting care and attention upon his
products, has justly earned for himself the
distinction Of having the best garden in the
place.

Sick S0ldiers.-Mrs. A. S. MIrTs, Cores
pondng Secretary Of the Ladies' Aid Society
of this place, has placed in our hands some
letters received by her from Dr. SpRAGUE,
who is in the U. S. Hospital at Keoluk
which relate to the wants Of the disabled SOL
diers at that place. The DR.. says that the
articles most needed are good bread, butter
and eggs, WOODEN socks, shirts and slippers
Many of the men require nothing but plain,
nutritious food, and there is not so great a
call Tor delicacies as many imagine. The
amount allowed each man'per day, for ratons
is only Is cts, and this is net sufficient to
supply them with the needed articles part of
it being consumed in articles not edible
Then the bread furnished is" bakers" which
does not give good satisfaction, and the but
ter they get is anything but good The DR..
says that fruit would also be very acceptable.
Shirts, socks and slippers realise very much
needed, especially the two latter articles
Many of the soldiers are able to leave their
beds, but are unable to do so for lack of prop
er protection for their feet. As fruit, eggs
&C., are as cheap there as here; if a sum of
money could be raised and placed at the dis
posal of the DR.. for the purchase of the arti-
Giles, it would probably be better than to buy
them here and then transport Them As for
the bread, butter, shirts, socks and slippers
it is the aim Of the Aid Society here to sup
ply them to as great an extent as it is posi-
BILE for them to do, and to this end invite te
cooperation Of the people of this vicinity
If any of our farmers wish to aid in this work
they may leave butter and yarn with Mr..
FRANCIS, at the store of Hermon G. Francis,
who will see that they arc appropriated to
the benefit of the sick in the Keokuk hos
ptal. The articles enumerated are impera-
lively needed, and many poorsoldier is Ian
gushing for the want of them. The next
meeting Of tho Aid Society is at the house Of
/. ScHENcK, when measures will probably be
taken to furnish the above mentioned articles.

The Drqft.-Assessor CULVER has been
engaged the present week in enrolling the
names Of all able-bodied men in the town be-
tween the ages of Is and As. The draft is
the one great and absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation. Some few speak Of it with pale faces
and trembling limbs, while the majority
dwell upon it with satisfaction, and seem to
take a..sort of malicious pleasure in working
upon the fears of the fain'- hearted 1t is
surprising how many men here, whom we
have always taken to be strong and robust
that suddenly find themselves anything but
but able-bodied. Some have lame legs and
others weak backs. With some wounds and
bruises received dozen OF twenty years
since have all at once became painful and de-
sbilitating. Yet others are afflicted with moth
ing in particular, but very distressing sort
OF general debility hard to define, but suffi-
cient to render them unfit for military duty.
Poor humanity, how frail thou art,-espec-
tally when there is to be a draft
But friends, there is no use Of your retail
ing out to every acquaintance you meet on
the street, your real or fanced ailments.
Competent medical authority is to decide
whether you are fit subject to do military
duty or not. One man is no better than an
other in this matter, and every one should
cheerfully and willingly stand his chance
1t adds to no mans reputation for valor to
be continually harping upon his unfitness for
soldier, for while there may be truth in it,
the crowd will infer that there is more lacl,
of pluck than Of health.
