ABOLITION SQUIRMING IN IowA.-Gen.
Tuttle's circular has caused as great flut-
ter among the abolition ranks as his voice
did with the rebels at Shiloh. The story
runs thus:
After the rebels had succeeded in caus-
ing our forces to take the back track a lit.
tie, Gen. futile succeeded in getting his
men into line of battle, either end OF which
was concealed in the brush. reble Gen.
eral, who was afterwards taken prisoner
and told his feelings, came facing him and
seeing the line Of Union soldiers ready to
receive him, halted his men and rode for
ward, to ascertain, if possible, the extent
Of the Union lines, which he failed to do,
the ends being concealed. Gen. futile
rode out toward the reble general and
yelled out, why in hi don't you come
on!" the consequence of which was, the
reble general sent word to his commander
to know what he should do, when orders
came to him to charge, which he did, and
got most gloriously whipped. He said
that after Gen. Tuttle told him to come on,
it knocked all the vim out of him and his
men, and they couldn't fight any more
that day. nz
So it was with the abolition party, their
vim is gone.

VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA TER }
TORY, August 9th, 1863. {

VIRGINIA ClTY, NEVADA Ter
TORY, August 9th, 1868.
Dear Col. Once more | have the
pleasure Of addressing you, from this place
0he famous Washoe country after having
escaped the dangers Of being scalped by
ID Indians, chokcd to death for want Of
water, or shotby accident by my comrades,
who know no more Of fire arms than you
in the States know what gold looks like.
This City is the liveiest place yet seen.
It beats McGregor in business and richness,
but not in appearance or situation. II is
built on the south east side of mountain,
in the midst of Mountains, and is the second
highest city in the world. What caused
them to build it here, was that it was in
the midst ofcxtensive silver and gold mines,
which they are working very extensively.
There arc 35 or 40 steam quartz mills about
the city, running night and day, and taking
out over two million dollars per month,
in hard cash. Some mills and mines paw
enormous profits to the stockholders; the
Gould & Curry mill, for instance, cost one
and half million dollars to build it, and
their mine pays the stockholders $3.50
per share Of 800 per month. They en-
ploy 1000 men and their mine is valued at
$4,000 per foot There are several other
mines as rich as this. Other mines that
are being developed sell from 81 90 to $500
per foot, and nearly every person here, both
men and women, have capital invested in
stocks. $50 s@N s'srT" .'H+
For laborers and mechanics believe this
is the best place in the States or Terrific
ries. In the mills, laborers receive 81 for
hours work, mechanics are paid from Sc,
to $40 per day. 1t costs man from $40 to
S15 per week to live respectfully. Nearly all
rent rooms and take their meals at res
taurant 1854 EE"
The printing business is hourishing here.
There are three dailies in operation now,
and new paper will commence publication
on Monday. For advertising, papers re-
ccive 50 per square first insertion, and half
each subsequent one. Printers make good
wages and get paid when earned. They get
81. per 1000 for setting type. I made
$5o,75 last week and got paid in geld.-
What do you think of that? The young
man came with and I, have steady situa-
tons on the Daily Union, and I think we'll
stick here till we make raise, unless sick.
ness compels US to 80 to California. This
city is not considered healthy on account
Of so much mineral in the water and its
occupying SO high a position.

"In the late canvass there was not
a solitary paper in the state but earnestly
opposed the administration"
The Louisville journal of the 10th of Aug.
had the above sentence and much more of
the same sort. 1t is now reported that
Gov. Bramette of Ky, is outspoken in his
condemnation of the whole war policy Of
Mr.. Lincoln. We do not pretend to know
much about these matters, but the Journal
is good authority for Kentucky politics.

The state Fair.
Mr.. I'LL. Schaefer, the Secretary Of the
State Ayr. Soc, writes the editors of this
paper from Fairfield, Iowa, under date OF
Aug. 22d, aud says: II thank you for the
timely suggestions contained in your issue
Of the 10th, just received. The people
shall have no complaint Of the kind you
mention, this year."
Mr.. S. then informs us that the Davenport
& Dubuque, and the keokuk and Davcn.
port boats have contracted to carry all pas.
tscnsers, implements and stock at full fare
TO the Fair, and free back, on certificate OF
the Secretary of The Society. This is half
fare for anybody vino wants to CONAN or
animal. The President Of the St. Louis &
St: Paul Co. has been written to. All the
Iowa Railways agree to carry passengers
at half.farc, and stock, &c., free. The Ill.
Central, the same. With most Of the H.
inois Roads, arrangements are made for
half.fare rates for all freight, whether ami
mate or inanimate; but here is the tug Of
war: -....
"The Galena, Dubuque, Dunlieth & Min
nesota Packet Co. carry all articles FIR
exhibition free between river towns on their
route to Dubuque. Exhibitors showing to
the clerks Of the boats a certificate from
the Secretary that they have had articles on
exhibition, will have a free return ticket
given them" Mrs.. then closes: Trusting
that this will be satisfactory, and assuring
you that shall publish these arrangements
as widely as possible within ten days; and
thanking you most sincerely for your in
terest in this matter, am" &C., &c.
In our article of the 10Th we made no
distinction between exhibitors and other
passengers, but our design was to secure
some action that would give all our people,
whether they carried pig, a pillow, or only
themselves to the Fair, a half. fare trip.
The arrangement with the Dubuque & St.
Paul Co. does not do this, and hence, to
our section, it is not satisfactory one
Why the Packet Co, bearing the name Of
DUBUQUE and interested in its welfare, can
not be equal in libcrali'y to the Davenport
e. Keoknk line, all the Iowa, and several of
the Illinois Railways, we cannot see
Hundreds of our people have nothing to
exhibit, but they take deep interest in i'm
provements and they think strange that no
influence can be used to furnish them a
sight of our own State progress on as good
Terms as the rest of mankind. We hope
yet to hear from Mr.. Shaeffer that ali tick
ITS above Dubuque will be at half-price.

which barrel Of pickles or potatoes will

put up cucumbers, young muskmelons, to.
