Eds. MeCregor 7Imes:-Having many
friends in Northern Iowa who are about to
emigrate to Missouri, let me, through the
columns of your valuable journal, give them,
for their benefit, the appearance of matters and
things in Missouri, as found them on recent
sojourn there. supposed when l entered the
State that friendly relations existed, civil law
enforced and peace prevailed. But quite the
reverse is the fact The marauding despera-
does of Prices army were just returning to
their homes in all parts OF the State, without
money, without any hopes Of ever being re-
instated as citizens, and heavily burdened with
recklessness and depravity. The new corsti-
tuition is adopted, an important element in its
construction is placing the colored men at the
polls and excluding for all time these returning
armies of the confederacy. These men are
determined not to submit to disfranchsement,
nor yield to civil law framed and executed by
loyal men. Their wrath and vengeance may
yield to the mighty powers of freedom, but
hatred will still exist.
Their malicious intent can be disguised, but
who knows at what hour, in what place. and in
what manner they will avenge their suppressed
designs' They arc determined to rule or ruin;
they are blood-thirsty and yet unconquered,
and will, in the dark hours of night, in timber,
along the obscure ways, in deep ravncs, upon
all occasions they will seek to destroy the peace
and tranquility of every home occupied by
friends to law and order. And hence the
heavy emigration to Iowa, Illinois and Kansas.

that only about one half of the people are loyal,
and you can associate with only one half your
neighbors, while the other half are your most
inveterate enemies. Readers, It requires arm

whacking is on the increase, no one is safe, and
reliable men arc free to cay that years will

Such, however, is not the case. The modern
process is about as follows: The blood is
drawn off through tho jugulaI vein. An Incl.

mechanical means. The liquid permeates all
the veins and arteries. taking the place before

JOHN ARMSTRONG, postmaster at Springfield,
Ill.,, has been arrested and held to bail in the
sum of 100000, OH a charge Of opening let

field dispatch says:
"He is leading member Of Dr.. Hills Pres.
byterisn Church, of this city, and has always
sustained q most excellent reputation. Even
now that it is certain that Mr.. Armstrong has
been arrested and held to bail in the sum OF
100000 on the charge, our best citizens are
sure that. if he opened letters, it was with a
motive OF improper curiosity, rather than from,
felonious intent. The letters opened were
directed to females, and that which led to Mr.
Armstrong; detection had SIS dollars in it -
1t is said that the clerks in the Office were 70,

Life In the Mexican Capitol.

Mexico has great wealth, which is lavished
in all the means Of comfort and luxury known
to civilized life. Houses, whose forbiddng
exterior of stone and plaster, with grated,
prison like windows. little indicate the elegance
within, are adorned with all that art and wea ,th
can supply, brought from Europe and the Unit

park of about twenty acres handsomely laid
out with flowers, shrubs and large shade trees,
the fashionable world of Mexico resort for
morning drives and equestrian exercises: and
here may be seen some of the famous Mexican
riders in all the grace and love of display; for
