y. d. doWLLL, ESQ
Dear Sir II enclose to you
q paper which is designed for publication
in oil papers of Iowa. which are friendly
to the Union. 1t is not necessary for me
to say anything in regard to it, as it ex-
plains itself.
The news received here from Iowa is
cheering to every true Union hea1t.-
Iowa must take no stop backward in sus-
tanning The Union. Her soldiers in the
field have proved themselves 10 Be faith
full and true may her voters at home
emulate their example. Whilst her dele
gates in Congress are unit in support
ing the Administration in putting down
the rebellion. it is important that the
State Government should alsos cooperate
with the National Administration harmo-
niously. Have all the States 70 do this
our troubles would very soon be At an end !
Speaking of our Congressman reminds
me of the fact that there is . strong and
Increasing sentiment amongst 1owans and
citizens OF other States in favor of Hon,
James F. Wilson for Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives. Mr. Wilson possesses,
in a very eminent degree, the quali6ca-
tions necessary for that position; man
Of excellent Judgment, quick perception,
and great frmness, at the same time
affabls and gentlemanly to all
But my object is not to write letter
bat TO solicit you to publish the enclosed
paper. Yours truly,

PoLrosAnA.-This painting is Che
most accurate aud beautiful one in the
United States. The most ife-like repre-.
sentations are presented to the beholder.
and 20 correctly that you imagine yourself
the spectator Of : reality. instead of .
painting. The part represeoting the ma
val fght between the Monitor and Merri-
mac is worth, alone, all the admission
fee.
This afternoon. ut precisely 3 o'clock,
the painting is presented to the children
aud all others desiring to attend, and this
evening will be the last exhibition in this
city of this painting. No person will re-
gret the time and expenditure Of money,
SO 60 and prove what we say.
THE CracUs.-Castello 4 Van Vleck' 3

but owing to the lateness of their arri-
val, they did not perform until evening.
This Circus fully merits the reputation il

afternoon and evening, all will have an
opportunity Of seeing Dan Castello's ed
ucated horse, Monitor, and the trained
bull. Don Juan.

The noble work accomplished and the earnest
selfdenIal exhibited By the tract distributors in
any large city are subjects with which the public
xrc but slightly acquainted. In the universal
scramble after the almighty dollar, too many lose
Ill the interest they should take in eyangelixing
the poorer classes Of the community, md this high.
II important work is thrown upon very few who
who realize the full import Of the divine Injunction
to preach the gospel TO tho poor. The Young
Mems Christian Association has taken the work
In hand In \ vnry lAudable manner, and the
amount Of good It has accomplished since tts Or
esnization Ia inca1culahe. Its members are deter
mined to work with still greater energy in the
good cause. The following circular has been
issued to The tract distributors:
Ncw measures having been taken By the Youns
Mems Christian Association forrcriewlnE the In
tcrcst and rendering more efficient the city t1act

tric4a that we have now on hand mil supply Of
Tracts and American Messenger, at the rooms Of
the Young Mems Christian Association. and shall
