Northern Iowa Sanitary Fair.

| Northern iowa Son1tory Fo1fs
We have already informed our reader
that the opening Of. the Northern Iowa San
itary Fair, to be held at Dubuque, has bee
postponed to the 2lst of June. This wa
found necessary because it had created s
much interest and grown to such proper
tions a. rendered the erection of building
to accommodate it indispensable. Thes
are now preparing. Meanwhile the man
ayers once more invoke the aid and oentri
buttons Of all our citizens In every part Q
the State. That all may understand thei
purpose and aim, We publish elsewher
their circular, which contains all requisit
information. We need hardly urge tina
they should be literally and cheerful,
seconded in their efforts BY the people,
Contributions for the succor Of the soldier
Of the Union, are the free-will offerings q
all patriotic hearts. sAs one of the agencie
in these ministrations of mercy and hu
manity, We trust tho Fair to b held at Du
buque win more than realize the most san
guine hopes Of its msnagers. ~ a
- From all parts Of the State the pa
pers bring ~ encouraging accounts Of tn
enthusiastic response Of the people to tn
call Of tho Governor for men TO serve TO
one hundred days. In many localities VI
hear that whole companies are already or
gani1ed and rendered to the Governor
In numerous others they are in . for
ward state, nearly filled, and with good
prospects Of being completed in time, even
II the twenty days limitation should be
enforced. In . word the signs are that the
10000 volunteers called for win be forth.
coming even much sooner than could have
been anticipated by the most sanguine.
Our gallant and loyal citizens seem every.
where determined that Iowa shall keep
pace with her sisters Of the West, and that
what was wanting in preparation for such
q call shall be supplied BY energy and exer-
ton.
Des Moines county seems determined to
do its share, and that thoroughly. The ma
tive born and adopted citizens are vying
with each other In their manifestations Of
patriotic ardor. They will all succeed in
they are worthy soldiers in the
cause Of national vindication. We are graf
flied, as all loyal men must be, that such a
response is made 10 the call Of duty. It is
another guarantee that the Republic shall
live despite the treason that seeks to over
throw it.
- The order Of Gen. Meade, in our pa
per this morning, in connection with the
hints and whisperings which come to US
from all connected with the Army of the
Potomac, will confirm the impression that
Grant is really on the point Of inaugural
ing the campaign at the East.
Some people even 60 30 far az to intimate
hat preliminary movements indicate the
character Of his intended operations, and
style it remarkable for it, boldness and in.
yenuity. We don't suppose they know
about it, however. But Of course
Grant intends to do something and that
Doon. But all inferecces a. to the precise
nature Of his intentions, and how he means
o grapple with Lee, are, We suspect, the
mere guess-work Of those whom Grant Just
now wishes to misunderstood his aims
quite a. much a. he would have Lee do.-
But we may look day by day for stirring
news from his.army. We may understand
hat when he does start something will re-
'ult-that there will probably be fighting
md enough oft, unless Leo turns tail and
runs. This he will not do except upon COM
pulsion. So We may anticipate battle al
most any day Of the week.
