MAIL R0UTR.-A daily mail route has
been granted from Indianola to Decatur

the Cass county Gd>ette, announces in q
humorous editorial that
he has suspended the publication of that
paper. He says: Doubtless many ofour
friends will be somewhat regretful at our
departure; but the Copperheads will dart
forth their forked tongues from their lying
lips in great glee; and there are few Of

part of our editorial ambition to yet skin

Davenport is being terribly excoriated
iust now. She is finely situated on the
river, about midway between the northern
and southern lines of the State, has q rail-
road bridge, is the headquarters OF Adjt.
Geu. Baker and the rendezvous of nearly
all the Iowa troops ON their way to or from
the seat Of war. Her citizens are growing
rich on the Government and are, in this
respect, more fortunate
would be the more proper word with such
miserable results-than any other city in
the State. And with all this her quota is
deficient 800 men, and she gives but three
men for the hundred days. Gen. Baker
and Gov. Stone took occasion, the other
day, t. give her citizens full measure of
Jesse for unmitlgAted selfishness and lack
of practical patriotism. Still the Daven-
porters hold nightly war meetings, make
big Buncombe speeches and shout and clap
to the echo, but it has brought only three
men for the 100 days. She claims larger
number Of voters than Dubuque, to possess
''the very best paper in the State" and to
give the heaviest Republican majority.

The tide Of immigration continues to dow

gentleman who has just returned overland
from California says that much the larges,
amount Of immigration has taken the
route through Iowa, in preference to goinl
by st. Joseph. The immigration has done
much to keep up the prices of meat, grain

This is something like business. Dubuque
has done nobly. The banner Democratic
