l5We were in Musoa.ine last week and found
that there business was Exceedingly dull :"
The business men have plenty Of time to talk
about oil the ways Of getting rich, ETC., but they
somehow hesitate to lay out any money in order
to bring business and thus prosperity to their
town. few years ago Muscatine did the bust.
ness for fifteen or twenty counties Of this State,
and many of her citizens got rich. Now Mus
catne cannot rely upon the trade Of M many
townships, and her business men do little but
tell hear of the brisk times from 1850 to 1850.
We would warn the citizens of Muscatine, that
II they do not take hold and secure the compile.
tion Of railroads that will bring trade to them
they will soon forget that they ever did any bust
ness at all. The South is the natural market for
many Of our products, and il Muscatine will do
her duty she will be the shipping point for the
Cedar Valley. II she hesitates now, she is lost
past redemption. .,.

Hops.

The raising Of hops has become quite
profitable investment, and in some parts of
our state the farmers are we'll aware of the
fact, and have planted their wheat fields
with hops, with the very best of success.
Sank county, we believe, gives the largest
yield; but there are number Of very large
hop fields in jefferson, Green Lake and
other counties. There is partial failure of
the hop crop in Otsego county N. Y, the
principal hop county Of that state, which
will allow our farmers to demand a better
price for their hops. The hop crop of this
state is estimated in the daily Wisconsin as
worth 100000 and the crop of Sank
county alone is variously estimated at from
$500, 900 to 5000, 900 worth.
Tbs hops are mostly picked by girls,
who get about one-tenth the proceeds of the
crop. Just now is about the picking time.
and we learn that great many girls have
gone from the southern part of this county;
for it is quite an inducement to the girls of
our state, when, by few weeks work they
can earn the nice little sum Of S2o0, 300.

Political.

The following ticket was nominated by
the New York democratic convention, neld
at Albany Oh the 18th inst:
For Secretary of State, Major General
Slocum; Comptroller, Lucius Robinson !;
Attorney General, John Van Buren,; Canal
Commissioner, G. W. Armstrong; Treas
urer, General NJ. K. Patrick; Inspector of
State Prison, A. J. McNott; Clerk of Court
of Appeals, John Perrin Judges of Court
of Appeals term, Judge J. NJ. Brown ;
short term, Martin Grover.
They passed series of resolutions form
ing a party platform, which is not calculat-
ed to mean much, only, if possible, to in
crease their party. 1t is very smooth
document, which will not rile the temper of
any man great deal.
The copperhead Dubuque Herald, follow
ing the example of The Chicago Times, re-
fuses to endorse the soldiers ticket, so
called, of that state, on which Colonel Ben
says that Benton is an abolitionist, every
where known as such, and that it will have
none of him.
The delegates to the democratic state con-
vention of Ohio, last week, took the initia-
tive in marshalling the supporters of their
ticket at the coming election. They visited
the provost marshal at Columbus to ascer-
tain whether deserters and skulkers from
the draft who went to Canada might now
safely return.
The democrats of New Jersey have nomi-
mated General Runyon for governor.
The election of members Of congress,
legislature, state and county officers, will be

Emigration.

The number of emigrants from the port of
Cork alone lately averaged thousand per-
sons per week, all bound for the United
States. The emigration from London,
Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, and various
other parts of the United Kingdom, is on
the same large scale. The aggregate num-
Der of Irish emigrants to this country is not
much less than four thousand per week.
In fact, the impetus given by the famine in
1S47 to the emigration of the Irish popula-
ton seems now to be equalled by the effect
produced by the termination of the war.
Within few years there will probably be a
million added to our Irish population.
The emigration from Antwerp, Havre,
Bremen, Hamburg, Rotterdam and other
continental sea ports, has also displayed an
extraordinary activity since the end Of the
rebellion. Hardly a day passes without the
formation Of some new project of settlement
in this country of Poles, Norwegians, Swedes
or Germans. Let them come on. Such
are the immense resources of the west that
not only these newcomers, but the entire
population of these countries, may find
room with us and be happy.

Loyalty.

The Methodist Episcopal Conference held
at Brodhead last week, passed unanimously
and enthusiastically the following resolu-
tons on loyalty:
RssolUed, That such loyalty as is worthy
of the name, is something that beats in the
heart, throbs in every pulse, flashes in the
eye, and irresistably moves the tongue to
decided utterances. 1t is light that can
not be hid.
ResoIUed, That truly loyal man is in no
more danger of being suspected of disloyalty
than faxen-haired Scandinavian is in
being taken for full-blooded African.
Resolced, That it is the sense of the con-
ference that the fact Of a mans being sus
sected ofdisloyalty is more than prima facit
evidence that he is not loyal.
Resolred, That we hope that the bishop
will not be compelled to appoint any man
to field of labor within our bonds whose
loyalty IS not like Caesars wife-above
suspicion.

Volume -Four.

The nresent number is the last OF vol
ume three. consequently next week we shall
enter on the fourth volume, of the CHRoNl-
GRE which is in fact the completion of the
seventh year of the paper, for the CHRoN-
,c1r is only continuation of the ADVOCATE,
which was published four years, fact
which is not forgotten, and probably never
will be for we frequently see articles cred
tied to the DoDGEvILLE ADVOCATE, and ex-
CHANGES and letters still come addressed to
that paper, but no matter, whats in name.
We thank our many patrons for their
liberal support during the preceding years,
and particularly the last one; and we sim
cerely hope they will see fit to patronize US
as literally in the future.
Knowing that our paper is small, and
rather crowded with advertisements, we
have concluded to enlarge it, and next week
we shall present a seven column paper tor
your approval, we shall also for convenience
sake. and to be in the fashion, change the
appearance and arrangement of our paper.
Hereafter miscellaneous matter, poetry
news &c. will be found on the inside; and
local items, editorial articles and the latest
news, will be found on the first and fourth
pages. This will be no inconvenience to
our readers, and will enable US to present
much larger amount of reading matter We
hope the change will meet the approval of
our many patrons, and secure for US con-
tinuation of their favors.
Our terms will be assheretofore, s. so if
paid in advance, but 500 if not paid with
in six months. These terms are very low,
considering the price Of paper and labor
but if our friends will assist us to extend
our circulation we will try and stand it, and
furnish them as much reading matter, and
of as good and interesting quality as can
be got anywhere for the money.
We shall continue to pursue the same
course in politics as heretofore. We con-
graduate our readers that aoe,-the loyal
people of the United States,-have whip
ped the rebels, and closed up the slavehold-
er's rebellion as we thought from the first
that it should be closed up. The rebel
lion is ended, the armed force is dispersed,
but the work for which the great Union
Party was formed has net yet been
thoroughly accomplished, the rebellious
spirit of the southern people yet shows it
self in opposition to the schemes and aims
Of the friends of our government. This
must all be subdued, and the governments
of these rebellions states must be recon
structed on loyal, equal and just basis be-
fore the Union Party is disbanded.
Besides, the copperheads, the inveterate
enemies of the Union Party, are not yet all
convinced of the error Of their ways, or if
they are, they have not yet all reformed;
and until they return to their allegiance,
and prefer loyal men to traitors, it would
be dangerous for the Union Party to cease
to control the affairs of our government
Therefore let us all resolve that the party
which has saved the nation, shall rule the
nation, until both armed and unarmed op-
position to the rightful authority Of the
government, whether north or south shall,
utterly and entirely cease.
