This Company is doing much for Iowa.
1t is made up of the best and wealthiest
men in New England. The Company
owns half million of acres of land in this
State--sells only to actual settlers-has
agents in different parts of Europe. They
sell lands to European Emigrants and
transport them to their destination at less
than half regular fare. A large number
of German and Norwegian families are ex-
pected to be sent to Iowa next Spring. To
these the Company furnish means to stock
their farms with sheep. They are now
sending large numbers of sheep into this
State to let out among settlers in the coun-
ties where they own lands.
five are correctly informed this Compa-
ny holds out inducements which make ii
better for the settler than to take Govern
ment lands under the Homestead Bill"
Va "Au decent Republicans will vote
for Tuttle.' We thought there were none
decent" in the eyes of a Butternut-that
they were, all of them, damned Adolf
tions! Changing tune already, are you,
We supposed you would. Butternuts were
intense war men, in Iowa, just before last
years election. AS soon as that was over,
they were as intensely spiteful against any
man who did not oppose the war! That
was quite natural. They had held their
breath so long that when they gave vent to
their total depravity of course it was more
malevolent than before! Are they going
to try it again? 1t didn't win then. Do
they think it will now? We presume that
they will repeat the effort-there is no 9th
or game to try. But it won't win and they
know it won't. But it will show their de-
votion jeff. They love him so well that
they will even pretend to be war men for
the possibility of helping his waning for
tunes, Gould Butternut do more? What
can be harder than for an inveterate traitor
to profess to be patriot? That is ques-
ton no one can answer.
MrThere is to be grand rally of the
Unconditional Union men at Muscatine, on
the 4th of September. 1t will be a rouser
no doubt. Our neighboring city never
does anything by halves. Their hearts are
in this work, and they will show the But
ternuts of that vicinity what an utter rout
they may look for in October. Represen-
tatives Wilson and Price, Senator Grimes
and others are expected to address the peo-
pie.
rs The Toronto Globe, says that Thos.
Darcy Nc Gee, who lately illumined the
minds of our Canadian neighbors with his
terrible apprehensions of invasion from the
United States, got his startling information
from that interesting traitor, Vallandig-
ham. So it seems that the Convict, not
content with giving "aid and comfort" to
our rebels is striving to stir up the Cana
dams against us! Isn't that delightful
business for the democratic candidate for
Governor OF Ohio? But why shouldn't it
nigh exhausted. They want assistance
terribly. A little diversion from Canada.
would help as much as Gov. Seymours
New York riot.
THE SNAKEs.-A private letter from an
Iowan in New York says: l have been
from home some time, and hear that the
Snakes" in our State are in terrible
snarl. Now is the period of their annual
blindness, and it seems to me that there
will be no trouble in Toni,ag them until
they will never again be able to wriggle.
A CHANcE.-It is said that large pro-
portion of the stocking manufacturers are
kept employed on socks for the army; that
in consequence the stock on sale is and
will continue light, and that the price of
such articles will be high this winter, and
perhaps the supply will be altogether in
sufficient. We don't know how true this
statement may be. But cold weather is
approaching, hose, short or long, will be
wanted, and it will do no harm, in any
event, if our wives and daughters take the
hint in time and each make up u suffi-
CleuCy iOT nome use. IL t0ey can make
more than is wanted there, they will be
able in all probability to obtain remuner-
ative price for their supplies. Suppose
they try it.
Gs- LIE Grand Byington recommends
his servants throughout Iowa to circulate
the Chicago Times as a means of supplying
the minds of our people with mental pabu-
lun, political, moral and religious, of the
right sort. The Times is just now busily
engaged in denouncing the enrolment in
Chicago-in exciting the dregs of its popu-
lation with hostility to the draft. That we
suppose is the reason why Tax-Title SO
warmly recommends it. In the Key Stone
State we remember they once wrote on
their banners, Polk and a protective tariff"
We shall now expect to hear the same sort
Of people writing on their Copperheads:
'Hurrah for Tuttle and down with the
Draft"
That will be interesting to Tuttle and en-
