great improvement over any other invention that

Il pleasure to use the Galvanized Ovcn the heat

rE Every press in Iowa, which sup
ports Tuttle for Governor. sympathizss
with Vallandigham and advocates his
election As Governor of Ohio over Brough,
the Democratic Union candidate. Their
columns have teemed with denunciations
of Burnside and the President for the ar
rest of vallandig ham, and yet they now
support Tuttle for Governor, although he
denounces Vallandigham rs traitor aud
approves his arrest, and would have pun
ished him more severely than Gen. Burn
side did.
We believe that Burnside is an homes,
man, else We might expect to find the
Copperheads of Iowa supporting him fo'

are identical upon public questions.

ST PETERS NEW SCHOOL HoUsE.-

and amongst them the most prominent
and useful, was St. Peters new school
house now nearly finished. 1t is situated
so prominently on Exchange AT d Ninth
streets, that no ono can pass by without
noticing it. We understand that Father
Decailly is the architect OF this faulslsss

could have succeeded in raising money
fo- so extensive building Is IN stery to
US, but the building is there, not . "castlt
in the air." but q splehdid reality
rearing its lofty head far above tn neigh
boring buildings.
Only four or five years ago, Fathe
Decailly settled among US, and since tha
time, in spite of hard times and the pov
erty of the majority ofhis congregation, h
has improved the inside Of his churel
and the grounds surrounding it, ln sue

CONSERVATIVE Jo1RNALs.--The two
great Conservative journals in the West at
the present time, are the Louisville Jour
nal and the Missouri Republican.
The Louisville Journal denounced with
great bitterness, the FIRST call of the
President for $4,000 men to defend
Washington City, and it has denounced
every measure of the Administration since,
though it seems ready to support the
Government in a general way as the best
safeguard of slavery in Democra TIC
hands.
The Missouri Republican was the orga q
and advocate Of the camp jackson traitors,
and was very earnest to get Missouri into
the Southern Confsderacy. 1t is now q
Conservative" friend of the Union, and
a sympathizer with rebel bushwhac kers

We regard slavery az violation Of the
law Of God and the rights of man. We
hold tha, the Rebellion which has cost the
lives Of so many thousands of brave and
good men. was mere outgrowth of the
gigantic evil Of human slavery. We be-
lieve that in accordance with the laws of
God, nations suffer for their sins. And
we accept the calamlties which have been
visited upon the country as the natural
and divine infection os the penalty of vi
olated laws.
We observe, and We rejoice to note the
fact that wherever progress has been made
in putting down the rebellion. slavery is
receiving its death blow. And We trust
that the people and the rulers Of our land,
will see to It that this great crime against
God and man may be effectuslly extirpa-
ted, SO that no roots may be left to vege-
tate and hear the bitter fruits of another
