The Fairbault Republican, winds up an
article denouncing the restoration of Frank
Blair to his Major Generals rank as follows !:
"Thcre are thousands Of good and true
loyal men in the country that earnestly
supported Mr.. Lincoln in 1s6O-would,
perhaps, have voted for him again SIX
months ago, that would not do it now.
Political demagogues and Office seekers, and
office holders, clamorous for his election,
may as we'll make up their minds first as
last that every loyal man has not quite as
much patience as Job had, nor will they
quietly kiss the rod that smites them after
three or four years smiting."

AMID the troubles of this distracted country,
which beset this community, it is special
privilege with many persons that they are al.
lowed to keep cool; they do not get excited
over skrmishes and battles; they arc philo.
sophical on the subject of the draft; they are
not disturbed because Gold runs up to 200. On
the contrary, they are lively, well behaved and
call serene" The reason Of this, is, because
they purchase their Clothing, Dry Goods, &C.,

AT 1T AGAIN.-We understand that
Wheeler of the N. Y. Boot and Shoe Store
has engaged tip top workman as foreman
and re-opened his custom department, so we
may expect the price Of Boots made to or.
der and repairing to come down at least
two "pegs." Wheeler is becoming notori,
Gus all over the country for selling the best
quality of Boots and Shoes at very low
prices. He keeps a large assortment which
he obtains directly from the manufacturers
in New York, Troy and Boston, and so is
able to job them at Chicago prices. He
has also the exclusive sale in McGregor of
Charles Bigelow's celebrated Milwaukee
boots and shoes, and always contrives to
have few pairs Of his own make on hand
so as to suit every body. On the whole,
we rather like his style" and are glad to
see him 60 ahead.

An Excursion.

! An Excursion.
We were invited by Capt. Shcrwin, the
Conductor, Eve must call him captain" "
to go out in q special train on Sunday
morning to Luana. The company, he
promised us, was of the highest character,
being no less than the Presidents and sew
eral Of the Directors Of the Milwaukee &
Prairie du Chen and the McGregor West
ern Railways. The business Of the road,
short as it is, forbids the indulg nee of
special trains during the week, and as there
arc no Sabbaths in revolutions so there are
no Sundays in Railway interests, hence the
day chosen for the trip. Prior engage
ments prevented our acceptance of the in
vitation, but we learn that very lively
time was had good dinner for the large
party at Scott's (Laana) and a safe return
to the Mississippi. The company from
abroad were much pleased with the coun-
try, the road and its prospects: there are
few lines of equal length that can compare
in business with this 20 mile track, and as
it is extended the McGregor Western will
show traffic that will surprise those who
know nothing of the extent and fertility of
the territory which it will drain.
Among the Prairie du Chicn Railway
men on this excursion were Messrs. Myers,
Spencer, 1lls'ey, Harwood, Shell, Dousman,
Lawler, Conductors Winnie, Prescott and
others. These, with Green, Hammer, An.
dros, Noble and several other McGregor
gentlemen, enlivcned by the vivacity of
Capt. Sherwin and few trifling refresh
ments Of the cvaporating kind must have
made very pleasant party. Another &C.
casion of the kind will not pass cur hand if
Sherwin deals as he did before.

New EnterprfZe.

We desire to call attention to the con.
struction of new road from McGregor
connecting W ., the Garnavillo road at I'm
Gle James Moody's. This road runs through
Walton Coulee, the left hand track at the
head of Main street A county road is
laid out from the Norwegian settlement to
Section 8, at the head Of Walton Coulee
and is worked and travelled some but it
does not reach the demand Of this CITY,
The regular Garnavllo road ola McCrancys
Addition meets clay hill just at the Add.
ton that is at all times hard road to trav.
ell and the object of the Walton cutoff is
to remedy this difficulty. 1t is proposed
to improve the Coulee to Section 8 and
then by taking the right hand valley in.
stead Of the left Gas now to form a juno.
ton at Moody's with the Garnavillo road.
The grade is one of the easiest attainable
out of the Mississippi valley and but little
money will be required to render it good
thoroughfare. We passed up this Coulee
day or two since with friend and were
astonshed at its improved appearance; a
former winding COW. path, called road, is
now wide wcll-graded Avenue, we'll bridg.
ed and as smooth as Prairie du CHEN
drive. Persons who are fond of carriage
or horse back ride will find the left hand
track at the head of Main street the best
place in this vicinity for the exercise of
horses or the comfort of themselves-they
avoid the dust Of the main road now filed
day and night with teams.
We particularly invite our readers to
walk or ride up this Avenue and see the
amount Of work which little money in
the hands Of the energetic and skillful Road
Master, Mr.. Henry, has produced. To his
ability as road and bridge constructor and
to his hard labor economy are the citizens
of this place indebted for the improvement
here referred to. A small amount from
each of our business men will open an
easy way to the fine prairies lying south,
west of us. McGregor is losing by the
Railway and if we intend to remain here
(as most Of us do) we must construct good
wagon roads to the city these in meas.
ure will compensate for the loss sustained
by Rail. McGresor will still live and flour
ish despite the predictions of her rivals,
but her life depends on her citizens. Lib
crafty in public enterprises like this will
secure share Of the country patronage so
large as to place her ultimately in COM
mand Of the wholesale and retail business
Of North Iowa parsimony, stinginess, me-
glect will let her down to small shaving
shop the butt of commercial ridicule. T.
W. Wood is entitled to credit for activity
in this matter and by calling on him you
can add to the fund already raised for this
enterprise and learn other particulars rela-
tive to it which we have not space at pre-
sent to elaborate.
McGREGoR must have good wagon roads
Or she goes up.
