Routes TO the East.

1t is natter Of surprise that so many
of the travelling public in this portion Of
the West. and particularly this State, in
going East, 60 by the way Of Chicago,
whep. it is , much more direct route, and
a great deal cheaper, to go on the Great
Western, by the way Of Springfield and
Toledo. A further advantage of this
route, is that there is but one change of
cars between here and Toledo, an advan-
tage of great moment to ladies and falni-
lies, and withal of no less comfort to bus
mess men. All these advantages are Sc
cured BY buying your ticket to the East
of our geutlemanly friend N. D. Munson,
General Ticket Agent; Office corner of
Second and Main streets.
The reduction of fare just made by
this company, to all points East. should
induce our people generally to try this
new and admirably appointed line, where
by they can reach the Fast in less time
and for less money than by any other
route.

RADICAL Speeches.

A large number of our citizens turned
out last evening to hear Col. Boyd and
Col. Moss.
These gentlemen are Radicals; they
have fought the rebels on the battlefield,
and they regard all who oppose the Gov
ernment and plead in favor of perpetual
ting the cause of the war, Is alder an d
abettors Of traitors in arms. And from
the earnest responses to the most radi cal
propositions put forth by them, We infer
that the sympathies and convictions OF
their audience were with them.

On Friday evening, the 4th instant, a
supper was given at the Young America
to John Stannus, Surveyor of the Port of
this city, by the aids to the revenue act
ing under his administration at this post.
After partaking of the bountiful repast
prepared by our friend John Blue, in his
best style, Mr.. Cheny, aid at Warsaw,
was called to the chair, and the following
toast was offered: "The Custom House
at Keokuk and Branches" which was re-
sponded to by John Stannus in an able
and quite patriotic address, in which he
reviewed fully the work that had been
accomplished since his appointment and
the state of affairs at the time he entered
upon the duties of his office; also his sue
cess in executing the orders of the De-
partment, and the efforts of the aids in
his employ to prevent the transportation
of contraband articles through the lines
at their respective posts. He closed by
highly complimenting them on their 10y
atty, and their yea. manifested in sustain
ing the position honorahly.
Mr.. Crossin, aid at Ottumwa, was next
called upon, who responded in an elo-
qusnt and telling speech, in which he of
fered the repast just partaken of, and
hoped that it would be accepted by the
worthy Surveyor as tribute Of respect
and confidence in his integrity and 10y
atty. and also for the zeal and energy
which ne manifested in executing all the
orders Of the Department in a prompt
and efficient manner. He also spoke oi
the aids whom the Surveyor had selected
to assisthim in the discharge of his many
and responsible duties, and that they re-.
garded their positions as one of trust
honor and importance, and would do all
in their power to assist in sustaining hi
position honorably and maintaining th'
integrity of the Office, and he hoped tha
their efforts might be as successful ant
their zeal as'untirisg in the future Is i
had been 10 The past.
He was followed by the other aids, VII,
made eloquent and appropriate remarks
and were listened TO With attention.
The festivities closed at late hour
and each one departed highly pleassl
with the evenings snssrtainmeat.

The Triumph OF science.


The innumerable cures which Of late
have been performed by DR.. Hoofand's )
German Bitters is q matter Of surprise to
all, and has no equals in the annals of
Medicine. The triumph Of science Ger
ignorance and prejudice is complete, and
these Bitters have been the means of dis
pensing health and knowledge to all
They are free from all Alcoholic Stimu-
lant, and 10 all cases of disease they cure
permanently, those maladiss which 30
afflict mankind, viz: Dyspepsia, Palpita-
ton of the Heart, Nervousness, and all
disorders of the Stomach, Liver and Bow
els, are at once eradicated from the sys-
tenn, and vigor restored to every part Of
the body, and thousands of living wit
nesses can testify to their realization Of
life, and freedom from disease bv the
power Of these Bitters.
The evidences of the curative qualities
of this preparation do not consist 10 mere
assertions, but in. plain and stubborn
facts, which are open to the inspection Of
every unprejudicsd mind, and which the
proprietors will take pleasure in making
self-evideut to all who may desire it. The
reputation Of these Bitters is not of day
or year, bu. is founded upon the expe-
aience Of fifteen years of success. and the
wonderful cures performed, have been
for them popularity which is unexcell-
ed in the worlds history. With such
recommendations backed by undoubted
and incontestible testimonials from those
who have been cured, is it a wonder that
they have superseded all others in the
market? Wevould advise all who are in
any way afflicted to seek cure at once in
the use of these Bitters. Jones d Evans
63l Arch St, Philadelphia, are the pro-
prietors. who will punctualy attend to
all orders.
For VIcKsBuRG.-Mr. J. I. Place will
start down the river next Monday, and
will carry small packages to the soldiers
in any of the Iowa regiments at Vicks-
burg, or at any of the intermediate points
on the Mississippi river. Packages can

EaWar1 Evero11,e Te.t.


In his late letter to the Springfield Mass
Convention, the Hon. Edward Everett
says:
l have doubted the policy of some
measures of the Administration, and
strongly disapproved others, but regard
ing the persons in power for the time be-
ing, as the constitutional agents of the
people for carrying On the Government,
considering the war which has been fore
ed upon US by the ambitious demagogues
of the South as . question of national
life OF death-that to have the doctrine
Of secession established at the mouth OF
the rebel cannon. is simply to consign the
country to future Of eternal border val /,
and to lay its dishonored fragments at
the feet Of foreign powers; Icaonot but
think it unpatriotic to attempt, for the
sake of party triumph, to make politi-
cal out Of the difficulties, or, if you please,
the errors unavoidably Incident to the
c0ndnct Of . war Of saeh gigantic dimen-
sions.
It is pretty safe test, 10 esses of this
kind, to ask how the views and measures
ofa party are regarded BY the common
energy. Applying this tes. in the pres
ent case, nothing 10 more certain than
that the triumph at the approaching elsc-
tion of any party, organised and opera
ting for the ,prostration Of the Admins.
tration. would be regarded with unmin-
gled satisfaction by the leaders of the re-
bellion and their sympathisers abroad
Indeed their last hope is in our divisions
Can patriots hesitate in regard to their
duty, when it is clear that the support d
the friends Of tbs Administration at ths
election will promote the interests and
better the prospects, Of the country q
