The President and the Ladies.

At the close of the Patent Office
Fair at Washington, for the benefit of
the soldiers, on Friday night, Presi-
dent Lincoln, in an answer to loud and
continuous calls, made the following
remarks:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN II appear
to say but a word. This extraordina-
ry war in which we are engaged falls
heavily upon all classes of people, but
the most heavily upon the soldier.
For it has been said, all that a man
hath will he give for his life and
while all contribute of their substance,
the soldier puts bis life at stake, and
often yields it up in his country's
cause. The highest merit, then, is
due to the soldiers. In this extraor-
binary war extraordinary develop.
ments have manifested themselves,
such as have not been seen in former
wars, and among these manifestations
nothing has been more remarkable
than these fairs for the relief of suffer.
ing soldiers and their families. And
the chief agents in these fairs are the
women of America. l am not accus.
toned to the use Of language of eulo.
gy; l have never studied the art of
paying compliments to woman, but
must say, that If all that has been
said by orators aud poets since the
creation Of the world in praise of wo
men were applied to the women oil
America, it would not do them justice
for their conduct during this war.
| will close by saying God bless the
women of America

BIZ. this gentle and alI-spreading like
that Of the sun. l know Of no better
Illustration of its influence than car
tell from my own observation.
A good many years ago, you will
remember Clay, Jackson, Adams and
Crawford ran for the Presidency. AT
that time l was living in PEBBLE conn
ty, Ohio, and though quite young, not
having been born puppy, | had my
eyes open. One result of the race
was, that men settled down into
Adams men and jackson men,
They were known by no other name.
In Preble county the only paper there
became an Adams paper. Ever after
wards, SO long as The Wing party ex-
listed, it was Wing county by about
one thousand majority. Butler coun-
ty, adjoining it on the south, and con.
siderably more densely populated, had
Jackson paper only. 1t has been
Democratic ever since by from twelve
to fifteen hundred majority. Warren
county, Immediately east of Butler
and populated about like PEBBLE
had an Adams paper. 1t was al.
ways Wing about like PEBBLE. Mont
gomery county, Immediately north OF
Warren, had an Adams paper. 1t has
been close county ever since.
Though densely populated and contain
ing one of the best cities in Ohio, three
hundred majority either way has ever
since been "big thing" 1t has
gone Wing, Democratic and Republi.
can. These are the counties Of the
Vallandigham Congressional District,
wherein first saw the light. Similar
facts might be shown from other Dis
tricts-from the whole country-but
these are enough. /
But it is not denied that you WELD
q powerful influence. How important
is it, then that you should WELD it in
the cause of justice, of humanity, OF
liberty, Of progrcss-that all the ends
you aim at should be your countrys,
your Gods and truths. | pray that
thus you may ever WELD your influ-
ence, that such may ever be your ends.
And ] ask for the press of Iowa a lib
eral support on the part of the people,
and just consideration on the part of
the Legislature. If it be right and
proper to encourage Intelligence and
TO advance the cause of Christian civ
ilization then it is right and proper
to encourage and sustain high-toned
public press, the most powerful means
of securing all these results. l hope
gentlemen, that the actions of your
convention, will result in great good
to the press Of Iowa, and by couse-
quence TO the people, and wish for
each and all Of you, prosperity and
happiness in this world, and joyful
entrance into the next.
AS for me, my ambition will be sat
isfied, in Iowa if can rear my children
TO love their country, serve their God
faithfully. and do no discredit to the
name of" Hawk-Eye."

horses, mules, and everything else
available, and what could not be car

From the Kansas City Commercial
Direct and Reliable From Idaho.

We are enabled this morning to lay
before our reades direct and reliable
news from the Idaho gold mines. Dir.
E. ID. Ralph, an old and well known
citizen Of this city, went to Bannock
last year with stock of goods and
has just returned. We have had a
conversation with him and gather the
following interesting particulars
First, as to the gold it is there and
in large quantities. The main mining
is as yet gulch and sluice mining, al
though there are two quartz mills,
which are paying well. The gold it,
self is OF a very pure quality-$lS per
ounce. 1t is found in the form of mug
gets as well as in that of dust. The
Doctor showed MS couple Of beauti-
full nuggets. which Mr.. Shouse, of the
Mechanics Bank, weighed in our pres
cnce-ihe one worth $40, and the 9th
or So.
The Doctor tells us that he has him
self seen nuggets worth Sl70, while
those that are worth $50 to 500 are
quite common. He says that eve
rybody in the mines did well. He
brings news from couple of old resi-
dents of Kansas City. viz: Jim Vivi-
an and Mr.. Underwood. They both
spent couple Of years in Colorado
without making anything, but are
now doing well in Idaho. Vivian is at
Sinking Water Gulch, and employs
twenty men running a sluice. He
takes out on an average, $1,000 per
day. Underwood is doing we'll A
colorcd man. namsd Harrison. former
~ of this place, has laid up over a
thousand dollars. earned by cooking
for a mess. Laborers are plenty at
six dollars per day. There is plenty
Of water for running sluices. The
mining is much like that in California
in early days.
Idaho, as our readers are aware, is
the name of a very large Territory.
The two principal mining towns are
Bannock and Virginia City, about six
ty.fve miles apart. Bannock being the
most easterly, and situated on the
stream called Beaver Head. There
are from eight hundred to two thou
sand in the vicinity Of Virginia City.
The mines are on the eastern slope Of
the Rocky Mountains. Stages run
from Bannock to Salt Lake-fare six
dollars. The people Of Idaho have
been cleaning out the scoundrels late
ly at terrible rate. Over twenty
have been hung, among them the Sher-
i'll and Deputy Sheriff Of Virginia City.
One Of the fellows was named Gallag-
er. and formerly from this place.
The Doctor says the trip can be
made from here to Bannock, with a
mule train. in about seventy days
with oxen, in from ninety to one hun.
dred days. Those going should pro
cure their tools before starting, AS
tools are very high there-shovels sly,
etc. Provisions to last six months
should be taken. He is about to re-
turn himself. Coming as these state
ments do from perfectly reliable and
well known man, we are glad to place
them before eur readers,

WHAT REGRETS DO WITH THEIR Mon
EY.-Ou Monday last Col. Grier paid
off at his headquarters in this city, a
lot Of lS1 recruits-to each man the
sum of $73, making in all the full sum
of Sl3,6 6l and as the question has
often been asked, What do the re
crnits do with their money 2" we have
taken some pains to gather facts to
enable us to answer it.
Immediately after the men were
paid off, Mr.. Hill, the agent Of the L.
S. Express Company here, and his as
sistants, Messrs Johnson and Stein.
proceeded TO Camp Mcclellan, and
commenced taking in such package of
money from each soldier as he might
desire TO send. The work commenced,
and in the short space of three and a
half hours, these gentlemen had re-
ceived, counted, entered upon their
books, and gave receipts for 1872 pack
ages OF money, amounting in the ag-
gregate to nine thousand five hundred
dollars.-Dem. Dc Ners.

EDrroE INrELLIGENcER On the morn
ing Of the 10th of March, the same
companies which accompanied the
wagon train, Of which | spoke in my
last letter, from Pulaski to Prospect,
left Prospect for Athens Ala.
The rain the previous night made
the roads very bad, both for the train
and the guards who accompanied it..
We arrived at Athens about 4 O'Clock

though we found plenty of deserted
houses to shelter us from the weather,
we found more of the former inhabit-

fine little village, situated about fif-

thirty miles from Pulaski, Tenn. The
principal part of the town is now a
shapeless mass of brick and other in
combustible matter. We left Atheus
to return to Prospect on the morning
Of the ll;h. The day was pleasant,
and as the mud dries up very quickly
in this part of the country, The roads
were not bad for footmen.
We arrived al camp Prospect at 2
O'Clock 7. NJ, after a march Of As or

was orr first march as veterans.
Since our return from Athens, we have
been engaged at building barracks,

l think, Mr.. Editor, that the above
statistics, taken from official records,
will be amply sufficient TO convince
every one that Iowa has made ad.
vancement in the cause of education,
hardly paralleIed in the history of any
State of the Union. Her present
school system is wonderfully efficient,
and the executive officers of the school

if they could. This was proven on

to be an improvement The presen

rerg thankful for that If We can.
not 60 forward, we are at least fortu-

ward. We can now see how poorly
fitted are a set of lawyers and politi-
clans to legislate upon educational
matters. You would have been sur
prised to witness the logged deter
mination which many members mani
tested TO return to, the old single or
independent district system. Some of
these members betrayed the fact that
they had never read the school laws,
did not know their provisions, and
were about as ignorant of school mat
ters generally as the hottentots. This
is strong language, but it is lamenta-
bly, too true.
