The late mob in New for its strengt,.- nd
ftrocity surpasses any other which ever
disgraced the history of this country
Mobs art horrible agencies, and the fearful
loss Of life, to say nothing Of property,
which is the result Of this great riot, teach
cs the lesson that temporizing measures at
the inception Of trouble are inhumane.
Ill manner Of causes are assigned for
this mob. To our mind two are promi-
ncnt. One, the $500 exemption clause,
which relieves the rich of liability to peril
anything for the Union, while it compels
all the fighting to be done by the poor
c!ssscs. The other, the impassioncd ap-
pcals Of Fernando Wood and others to
create feeling of hostility to the war, and
OF resistance to the binding obligations we
all owe to law and the interests of our
common country.
The lesson which all rioters have receiv-
cd, is indeed salutary. The CONSUMPTION
law as it stands, is the law for the draft,
and must be o6eyed. Regrets hat it was
not more equally framed, avail nothing
now. The draft which is now in general
operation, beginning with the eastern sta ties,
must not be entirely suspended as to New
York the more especially since that city
is several thousands in arrears III der for
ner calls, which she is not now required
to make good. In this light we are cspc-
cally glad to hear from the Provost Mar
shall General that the draft in New York is
to 20 on, SO soon as strong military force
can be moved there to enforce it.

The Blockade Raised.
The departure Of the steamer Hiawatha

ordinary significance. It is now more than

Mississippi river, and imposed restrictions
upon our commerce. These were followed
by others which successfully have given
way to the power Of our navies and armies,
until now, the river is redeemed from dis.
loyal hands, and the steamers with their
rich freights can run with impunity from
this pointto the Balizc.
The opening Of the river is indicative of
the old time prosperity and activity along
the great highway. 1t tells our producers
of enhanced prices, consequent upon the
opening up Of rival markets; it tells our
produce merchants of the reduction of

Of boats and railroads; it tells every body
Of the breaking up of the lake and railroad

We shall expect to see an unusual activ

that shall intervene between harvest and
the close Of navigation. The autumnal

river so as to raise natures blockade Of the

The weather is changeable and blows
now hot, now cold; alternately fair and
foul; dry and wet. As we write, Tuesday

to twinge, and their unfortunate possessors
are very sure they win never be able to

will become settled, and fair, and remain
thus throughout the harvesting season.
A frost on Tuesday night inflicted con-
siderable damage upon the corn crop in
certain ravincs and low localities The
upland or rolling land was not Affected
Wheat promises an abundant yield, and
we hear that few fields have already been
cut. The number of acres, and yield per
acre, will undoubtedly surpass that of any
previous year since the settlement of
northern Iowa, and we congratulate the
producers Of the country upon the prospec.
tive fruits of this years labor. Deliveries
of wheat are moderate; prices do not varyj
much from last week. We quote No. l

Business is good, considering the season
of the year, though our streets have a
deserted look in consequence of
the preparations for and labor in the great
wheat harvest. For several weeks this will
continue, when it will be safe to expect an
almost unexampled activity in the move.

Sound Doctrine.
There is quiet, steady, resistless revolu.
ton Of the people constantly going on
throughout the country. In the hot cru
chile Of our war for the salvation OF the
country, radical and fanatical men and ideas
are rapidly melting and losing their identity
Despite all the efforts of politicians there is
steady toni-s down of extreme partisan
views, and the common danger of a com.
mon country is steadily inducing frater.
nifty Of feeling which never before existed.
Could we for year be spared the partisan
appeals Of aspiring politicians who want
their great party to 'ery anise, ORGANIZE.
ORGANIZE" in every school district,
precinct and county-.that they may be
eected-there would arise here in Iowa
and in other states, strong Union party
that would embrace in its folds nineteen
twentieths Of all the people of the country.
AS it is, however, we see steady softening
down Of the asper'tics of political feeling,
and disposition gradually obtaining for
the recognizance Of some virtue even in an
opposite party, and for the condemnation
of great deal of error in the extreme men
Of all parties.
In this connection we are glad to see the
following, from the West Union Record:
"There are two classes of Fanatics in the
Loyal States. One class comprises all tina;
is left Of the. James Buchanan Democracy,
Copperheads, pro slavery politicians, weak
knced old line wings, and all men who
think more of pro slavery Democracy than
they do of the Constitution and the
Union.
The other class constitute the old fashion,
ed, blue bellied, dyed in the wool Adolf
:ionists, who think more Of three millions
Of negroes than they do Of thirty millions
of whites. Both classes are heartily op-
posed to the War for the restoration Of the
Union, and both bitterly denounce the Fed
eral Government and its war policy. The
Abolition fanatics denonnce the President
because he does not adopt the views of
Abby Folsom and Wendell Phillips, and
the Copperheads denonnce the President
because he does not follow the line of
policy marked out by Fernando Wood
One class is equally to be dcspised with the
other"

"That one half of the world cannot imagine
kow the other half live" is no less trne than
trite; and the lesson the adage affords, our ex-
periehce and observation daily tends to verify.
Then, too. when we consider the ever varying
phases oi human passion, and the dscordaut
elements from which all novel aud fanatical
seets are moulded, IL can scarcely seem sur
prising that faithful record of actual events
should exceed in singnlarly the widest dream
OF romance; or that crimes, both strange and
unnatural, should be perpetrated in far off
country on the outskirts Of civilization which
people inanother state Of society would never
imagine possible. Knowing as do know, the
evils and boirors and denominations of the Nor
mon bystem, the degradation it imposes on fe-
males, ahd the consequent vices which extend
Though all the ramifcations of the society, q
sense Of duty to the world has induced me to
prepare the following narrative for the public
eye The romantic incidents connected with
my experience, many may think bordering on
the marvellous. To them | would say that this
narrative of my life OILY proves what has SO
often been proved before that, "Truth is Stran-
