If"Cotton is King" fax will make q
pretty good regent during his abdication.
The cultivation of this important crop de-
seryus,and is bound to receive more atten-
tion from our farmers. The soil and CHI
mate of Iowa is we'll adaptcdto its growth.
Land which viii bring good corn viii raise
good fax, and it is estimated that from
ten to twelve bushels of seed can be rails
ed to the acre, which We see is now quo
ted at about 50 per bushel. and which is
generally worth more than wheat; also
about one toa Of rotted straw, and some
400 lbs Of lint, worth Zoe per ID. There
is undoubtedly a great deal of labor in
fax culture and great want of machine
ry in the west for dEessing and taking
proper care of it, but the crop is paying
one at all times. and will be particularly
30 during the cotton dearth. With wool
and fax we can be quite independent of
the South in her great staple, and it will
be a matter of wisdom and patriotism to
become thus independent as regards her
natural productions until she is brought
back to her allegiance to the constituted
authorities ofthe land.

Van Dorm was known to be in force in

the wagon train at the time of the rebel
flank movements, was cut off from the
main body, and escaped. The 23d Wis,
Goth Mich, SD o., and 95th Ind, were
then completely surrounded, after the ex-
haustion of their ammunition.
Having Inflicted severe loss on the
rebels they were forced to surrender. A
flag of truce was sent to the rebel lines to
obtain information of our loss, but was
prevented from approaching The battle
field. The flag was told by rebel officers
that they had buried 100 priyates. They
said from ESQ to 800 Federals were woun-
ded but ore Federal officer wounded,
Col. Bayard, of the 95th Ind, and he
slightly, The rebels had 1000 men en-
gagged. They lost one Colonel, several

late editorial of the London Times,
which, for a wonder, condemns the retail

"The South should remembertha they
were the first to draw the sword in this
quarrel that they rose against an estab-
lished Government in the exercise of its
legal functions that they obtained. by
the agency of traitors in that Govern
ment, considerable supply of arms and
money, and that the Union which they
seek to dissolve is. as events have proved,

The Telegraph Suhsidfxrd by swim

The St. Louis News suggests that the
telegraph reporters for the press in New

ulators. Hence it infers the recent dis
crepancy in the rates telegraph for the
press, and the private advices receiye IN
ST. Louis. Similar discrepancies have
been noted here, and the matter is ofsuf-
ficient importance to demand investiga-
ton and rectihcation, at once. 1t is in
sufferable that the telegraph should be
subsidized by the gold swindlers. and
impose upon the press and the public in

tions AT the expense of the people.
