Iowa State University

Harvard and Yale may ridicule the
idea Of q State University admitting
both sexes on equal footing. but any
doubts as to the capacity Of the femal
sex would have been laid aside had
they witnessed the exhibition of the
Hesperian Society Of young lady stu
dents of the Iowa State University on
the 9th ult This is the first exhibi.
ton of a literary nature on record in
which everything has been conducted
entirely by ladies'. 1t was complete
success. There was no sign of daring
boldness, which is so detcsted in la
dies but all, with becoming modesty
performed their respective duties.
Miss Zimmerman, the President, occu-
pied her station on the stage. with oil
the dignity and grace becoming a
Senator. The essays were intermin.
gled wish tries, qnartettes and cho-
ruses by the Society. All went away
delighted, and although got soaking
wet by the rain, / felt amply repaid
by tue exhibition. The University is
in a fonrishing condition-400 to 500
students attended this year. 1t has
sent many brave soldiers TO thu army.
A new building is to be erected lhis
season. for an observatory and chap
ell, to hold thousand students. There
are fifteen graduates this year, OF
which ten are from the Normal De.
partment. 1871. JUsrIcE.

Trouble in Maine.

The Maine people are apprehensive
of rebel invasion Of their State.
For some time past the rebs. collected
at St. Johns and other places in New
Brunswick have shown a disposition
to "do something" As late as the
l4th inst. there was an arrival at St.
Johns from Bermuda Of quite num-
Der of prominent rebs, among them
Geo. Sanders, and Jacob Thompson, of
Buchanan's Cabinet, the engineer of
the Florida, and large number of 9TH
err southerncrs. The Governor of
Maine has telegraphed to President
Lincoln to send two gun-boats to Cas-
tine and PASSPORT, as there is q raid
anticipated from New Brunswick on
the frontier. The President it is I'M
derstood promptly complied with the
Governors request, aud telegraphed
to New York to have the vessels des-
patched Immediately. During the
past week about 1000 volunteers
went into camp at Readville, and as
there is no lack Of arms and equip
ments the volunteers will soon be
ready for service.

astically engaged in collecting natu-
raj curiosities, and in obtaining valua-
Bile Information for the Government i'm

had proceeded a mile or 80 when he
was fired on by FIVE Indians. A ball
passed through his abdomen, causing
death in short time. His comrades
came up in time to receive parting
word from him, when he Immediately
expired. The Indians were pursued,
three of them killed, and their heads

FIRE.-On Tuesday afternoon our
citizens were startled by the cry Of
fire. The fire was found to proceed
from drying house or kiln which Mr..
Lehmkuhl had extemporized for sea.
soniDg the lumber for finishing his new
store. The flames were shortly sub
dued, but not till one or two hundred
dollars worth Of lumber had been de-
stroyed. A carpenter shop standing
near by. and the dwelling house Of
DIR. Smith were greatly endangered
by this fire. Is it not possible to or
ganize Hook and Ladder Company
and otherwise make preparations for
such an emergency as that of Tues
day 4? Who will move in the matter !?

The British Pet.

The destruction Of the corsair Ala.
bama is an especial blow to British
pride. Her history forms one of the
most startling chapters In the history
of this war. 1t is begun, fanked, edg-
ed and filled in with British co8pera.I
tive sympathy with our enemies.
British hands built her in a British
ship yard. She was British from
truck to keclson. British guns frown.
ed over her British looking sides.
British training aud skill was believ-
ed TO have eliminated in her model
and armament. A British crew was
put on board Of literally csoaleaa expc.

their training on the British school

and rapine on the high seas lacked on.
ly ten days Of two years duration.
She was destroyed by the Kearscrge,
in the baltic of her own seeking, on
the 18th of June, 1854. In all that
time stained with treacherous piracies
on our merchantmen. In all her
course she has been fed, harbored, pet

tlizers with the rebellion.

were all for naught. All that British
sympathy could do was to drag the
half strangled pirate dripping from
the brine, conceal him under an old
sail, and steer for British soil, swear.

Our Iowa readers will recollect the
exceedingly smoky state of the at.
mosphere some days since. 1t now
appears that this smoke was caused
by fires in the pineries of Northern
Wisconsin. 1t is stated that the dam.
age will amount to more than $780,
600. In many instances whole vii
lagos were destroyed, and with such
haste and fury that the inhabitants
had to flee for shelter under the bluffs
Of the lake, leaving their cattle and
horses in their retreat, which in many
cases were deyoured by the flames
A large amount OF tan-bark, lumber
and cordwood was destroyed.

Congressional Convention.

On the first page of this paper will
be found call for a convention of the |
Union men of the Sd Congressional
District, to be held at West Union on
the oath proximo, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Represen-
tative to Congress. There is no doubt
that Col. Allison, the present incum-
bent, will be nominated for reelection,
by reclamation. So far as we have
learned, there will be no other candi-
date before the Convention. 1t APP
pears to be the settled determination
of the people Of Iowa to return our
present Representatives. to Congress,
and We regard this as the true policy.
Iowa has Congressional delega-
ton of which any State might well
be proud. They are tried and true
men-each jealous to snbserve the in
terests of his constituents-and it
would be the height of folly to set
them aside for new men, now that
they have acquired influence in Con.
gress and made themselves acquaint.
ed with the business of the national
legislation. ... ...ra ...
1t was the policy of the Southern
States to put their ablest men in Con-
gress and keep them there through
life, while the Northern States held to
the doctrine of " rotation in Office" 1t
was thus that the South obtained and
held her ascendancy over the North,
and might have held this ascendancy
to the present day, had she not sought to
press upon us and nationalize her &C
cursed institution of slavery. 1t is
gratifying to find that Northern peo-
pie are learning and practising the
wisdom taught by their Southern
brethren in regard to continuing in
service their ablest and most faithful
public servants. a ....
We would not be understood to
say that occasional changes may not
be desirable and proper but the idea
we wish to convey is, that Legislation
is trade which needs to be learned
before one can become a proficient and
influential legislator and having once
acquired this knowledge it is better
for all concerned that such person
should not be set aside for new and in
aspirants.
Col. Allison has been very faithful
and attentive to the interests of his
and has already done
more to actually benefit his District
than was ever before done for it. in
Congress, since Iowa became State
in the Union. We therefore regard it
not only just to him but due to our
selves that he be elected for a second
term.
