Capt. Stuart's HisEOry- Of the
Iowa COlonels and Regiments.

Mr.. EDIroR-Through the columns of
your paper I desire to tender the tribute of
esteem and respect to our gallant fellow Git
izen. Capt. A. A, Stuart, and at the same
time to notice briefly the character of his
forthcoming work. r..go 81. g,,f
h From the time first met him in the lit
erary societies of this city, which were then
in vogue, and where. we discussed wide
range of questions-from ''fiction VS.. fact
to "the unity Of the races have al
ways been his warm and intimate friend |;
and from these considerations am certain
he will not misint erpret my present motives
in giving him and his book this passing no.
tee. H ~ r.rE rs. r.
From the time first came to know him
well, knew he possessed fine literary talent
as composer. Nultum in paroo has always
been his motto: and to this add his viva.
cious and vigorous style, AMI we have his
character as a writer He never penned a
sentence for pnblica ton which was not eu.
phonious and at the same time replete with
meaning. ,,.J 49,, ...;,.y ,ag4 ,g,~.c .,a
My intimacy with him has enabled me to
acquaint myself with the character Of his
book; and from the knowledge | have Of it,
I am not surprised that he should be most
highly complimented by enc sa.ee, Of the best Of
our American writers and historians Rev.
John s. y. Abbott, and by some Of the ablest
men of our State, His series of sketches
differ from ordinary biographies in ibis
with his statements Of fac, IS nearly always
connected interesting and readable Incidents
such as camp stories and seen es;, and moth
ing is stated for which he has not the best
authority - 80, sgo !, .,a4 gay,
He has given prefe renee to the military
history Of the subjects of his biographical
notices, and in a majority Of them there is
the description of skirmish or an engage
ment. Ia this way he gives description of
every engagement in which our Iowa troops
have fought from Wilson'S Greek, where
fell the gallant and chivalric Lyon, to the
sanguinary battle of Gen. Sherman before
Atlanta on the memorable 22d of July 1864.
Capt. Stuart's histories of the Iowa regi-
ments are brief and yet quite full; and
where an officer or enlisted man has distin.
guished himself he has made it special OBJ
ject to mention him.
You have said Mr.. Editor that this book
will not only be credit to Capt. Stuart, but
to our County and State, and in this state
ment concur with you most heartily, and
trust that its nnquestionable merits will in
sure to it the cordial support 1T deserve 1t
the hands of all who feel an interest and
who does not Pin embalming the heroic
deeds of those Of our own State, who have
fought, suffered and fell in the cause Of Lib.

Important Discovery - sugar
From Corn.

RI the following announcement by the
Buffalo Commercial proves all it purports to
be, then indeed may every man, woman and
child in the and smack their lips. Cheap
sugar ndphnty ofitwill become the order
of the day,a contamination most devoutly
to be wished The Commercial states that
after year of patient and laborious expert
menting, Professor Frederick w. Goesslng,
q German chemist of Buffalo, has succeeded
in producing an article equal to pure cane
sugar from corn. The Comm srciat also
states that company has just been formed,
embracing many of the wealthisss men in
the city of New York, land among them sew
eral of the principal sugar refners, with
capital of million dollars, which has pur-
chased Professor Crossings patent, paying
therefor, to him and his associate proprietors,
six hundred thousand dollars. They pro-
pose to enter at once upon the manufacture
of syrups and sugar frq.p corn BY the new
process, upon large scale, and to Introduce
its manufacture throughout the country as
fast as expedient. Experiments have already
succeeded in the production It at least three
and half gallons Of syrup from bushei Of
corn, and of a quality which Is pronounced
by the most critical judges to be equal in
every respect to the best syrnps heretofore
produced at the New York rcfineries from
sugar cane. An equivalent amount Of gran
ulated, fi-st anality sugar, it is also claimed,
can be produced. but we understand that for
the present the company will confine its ef-
forts 10 the production of syrup. Active
are being male, how eyer, to
enter upon the extensive manufacture Of
sugar, and it is expected that the company
will be prepared to put the new staple into
the market daring the present winter.
I Ibis important discovery will most likely
mark new era in themanufacture Of sugar.
The total production of cane sugar through
out the world in 1859 was estimated at
l ,307, 800 tons, of which the United States
produced los 900. The discovery will tend
to absorb the almost limitless crop, Of maize
or Indian corn in the North west, and the
crops Of corn of.the great West the latter
of which alone amounts to one thousand
million bushels in year. The West will
now most likely become great sugar pro
duciRg as well as great corn grow!n$tre
