The facts and figures which it presents
are so flattering in regard to the pro.
gress of education in this State that
we cannot forbear giving it place in

Mr.. EDITOR Having listened to
the very eloquent lecture of Rev. G.
F. Magoun on Friday evening last, |,
in common with others, could but feel
a State pride in view Of the high posi-
ton Iowa now occupies as shown by
the census returns, in all that consti.
tutes material growth and greatness.
Her increase in population, in agricul-
tural products and in manufactures,
and the unparalleled development Of
her natural resources, were glowingly
portrayed. But as the census report
from which his statistics were chiefly
taken, does not give an exhibit of our
schools, an impression was made that
our educational interests have not
kept pace with our materia! advance
ment. Wishing to correct this impress
sion, | have collected the following
statistics, which show that our schools
are not behind any other interest in
the State, and in comparison with our
sister States, that Iowa has done no.

q al tuopoleoSneSS AS 10 Cu0 issue OF the wal
having settled upon the popular mind
is the gloomy outline of the condition o.
Texas just before the landing of the Union
forces at Brownsville. What effects the
presence Of our forces will have, remains to
be seen. Those who should be best inform
ed believe that the popular onind there is
jus: in the state to be favorably influenced
by the recent rebel disasters, by the pres.
ence OF Union army, and by the Presi'
dents Proclamation Of Amnesty. Our oc
|cupation OF the Rio Grande frontier will put
a stop to the main. business Of the State, by
cutting off the passage ofsupplics and mu
nitions of war one way and of cotton the
other. This will increase whatever discon
tent there may be with the rebel cause, ard
will seriously cripple tho rebel authorities in
further operations.
Again the presence Of IA Union army will
assist in the development of the discomfort
already existing among the rebel forces, aud
will afford an asylum for the oppressed Cit
izcns.
The State is full of able bodied negroes
that have been driven from the Mississippi
Valley by their masters. They are not and
cannot be fully employed, and their migra
tions have given them good idea Of the ma
ture of the war and Of the power Of the
Union armies. We may reasonably ex-
2ect among so large body Of negroes Of
this character. some source of movement
thatwill demand all the rebel military force
OF manage it,
The rapid increase Of U Union sentiment in
Arkansas and the free State movement that
has already attained such considerable
strength will have tEeir effect, with the
other circumstances we have mentioned, in
precipitating Union revolution IN Texas,
and we should not be at all surprised were
Arkansas and Texas to become Free and
Loyal States within the Union before ne xt
Spring. A revolution 80 grand would Of it
self be the greatest Of all discouragements to
to the remaining rebel States in the prose
cution of hopeless war in defense Of a
dead aud accursed institution.
This war has had many wonderful pha
Ises, but we believe that the eve.ts Of the
next six months will surpass all that have
so far held the worlds attention, in grand
eur and interest. We shall witness, in
spite Of all partisan opposition at the North
process OF regeneration, social, political,
and economical, which will be thorough and
abiding. Whoever lays any hinlranca in
the way Of this movement is neither wise
nor patriotic. MiI1oaukec Sentinel.

at Nashville, when two Of them leagued
to play a joke on their associate. All Of
them being wearied, they thought it not in
bad taste to regale their a2petites with some
strengthening beverages. Tbs ubiquitous

withou: regard to what his competitors did
and soon got himself into, a condition in
which the affairs of this world gave him
very little trouble. Business was the great
point with his rivals. and by closer attention
TO that than TO the bowl, succeeded in keen.
ing sober, and when the time came to de-
part had arrived, off they started, leaving
