lately been discovered and broken up,
This question Of feeding the little and inli.
gent, black Or white, is becoming very seri
Gus one. Why the United States should feed
these people, Or ut least do more than relieve
their urgent necessities, Is d mystery. Tie In.
discriminate issuance Of rntlons has converted
thousands into perfect 1asTants. Who they
gre Mt this time may be readily seen from the
following facts:
At Chattanooga, the issuing returns show
9N white refugees receiving fations from the
Pest Comm'ssary, and ry-SAree negroes. This.
maracr, directed thereto by the District Com
mander, has Issued IN order, which sets forth
that the negroes nre congregatinr, are idle.
DC, and to better the matter, directs that d
camp be formed snuth OF the Tennessee River,
and they be removed, whora Of necessity thew
must all become ehargcable to the Govern
ulellt.
> MEASURES TO PREVENT PAuPER1sM.
Captain Lucas, of the 18th q. s. c. T., Is
placed in charge at Chattanooga, Us superin-
tcndcnt Of Freedmen and Refugees. He re-
ports several thousands Of b1acks conSregated
tn and around Chattanooga, and 4 tlcmuad for
labor In the country above He is directcdto
take q census Of the freed-peoplc and Of the
refugees to notify, By advertisement, that he
has laborers to hire out to take charge Of nll
subsistence issuing and transportation. Chat
tanOoEa has become the depot to which the
poor Of Northern Louisiana are shipped. This
must BE- prevented.
Gen. Fisk aims to suppress this system, and
prevent onr posts and camps from being na-

can, TO work whene1cr productive labor can
be obtained. There arc great many aged

LETTER FROM 4 FREMoNTER.
sr. AsseAa, Iowa, Julyas, 1865.

ST.. ANsGAR, Iowa, July 70, 1909.
BD1roR on RSAL :-Yo ou requested me before
my departure from Fremont TO give you, &C
oasionally, jottings of my wanderings in this
western country. But my purpose OF going to
Colorado this season having become frustrated
somewhat, by the news from my brother, who
is living there, that the crops are nearly all des
troyed in that region by the gassheppers, has
caused me TO defer Writing yeu thus long. /
j left Fremont, Ohio, on the 9Th insi aud
passing through Illinois, ria Chicago and Full
ton, arrived at Cedar Rapids on the evening of
the 8th. The country from Chicago to Cedar
Rapids presented the appearance of one vast
field of grain.
passed over the same road going East in
1860, but the country showed more prairie grass
aud less grain then than now. In fact, | was
wonderfully struck with the contrast especially
taking 1nto account the fact that the war bad
drawn off such a vast amount of labor from the
West, during the past four years.
On arriving at Cedar Rapids, l remained ov-
er Sabbath, and in the evening had the pleasure
of hearing worthy Baptist minister (whose
name | have forgotten preach funeral ser
mon on the death ofthe Rebellion. and / assure
you it was appropriately done He would have
the editor of the Dubuque Herald hung by the
side of JEFF. Davis, and, think he deserves it,
if the utteTance of treason is sufficient crime
TO hang any body. 81
From Cedar Rapids came by stage to Wa
terloo, hourishing village in Black Hawk
county, and situated in one of the finest portions
of Iowa. From. thence l came by railroad to
Waverly fine little place, which, by the way
needs little martial music to bring the houses
closer together" as they are too much scattered
TO look well-a common failure in this country
/ here took stage again and on the 18th inst
reached this place, where once found deer very
plenty, aud enjoyed myself much in hunting
them. But now they are all gone. and the cOun
try thickly inhabited, where only twelve year
since it was entirely devoid of settlers.
The town of ST. Ansgar is situated not fa
from the centre of Mitchell county, on Ceda
River and on the edge of as delightful prairi
as can be found in this State.
! must bring this communication to a clos
by saying that | ap now undecided as To wha
course I will take frou here Instead of goiui
to Colorado, may go to Minnesota aud spen'
the winter hunting and trapping and prOcee'
west in the spring LANDON.s

PREVENTION,

Every arrival of Intelligence from the eastern
continent, relates the progress of cholera, and
the alarming figures of mortality of those
attacked. As ships are arriving at our Princi-
pal seaport cities every week from the countries
afflicted with the scourge, it would not be at all
surprising if cholera were to be announced as
present there Indeed, rumOrs are rife OF sOme-
thing like cholera in several of our large cities,
within the past few weeks. NotOwn, therefore,
ought for day to neglect its sanitary regula-
tions. Should not the citizens of Fremont turn
little attention TO their own individual prem
ises All streets and alleys ought to be thor
oughly cleaned. Mudholes, ponds, sinks priv
les. ,Gc., should at once be filled up, drained,
cleansed and purified. Let every exertiOn for
prevention of disease be taken by each citizen.
The wet summer and very warm weather sue
ceeding, will be apt TO cause disease, and the
malarious effects may be greatly lessened ifeach
will do the work about their premises which
they ought.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Several times in past years we have spoken
of one great drawback to the prosperity of FIRE.
mont; not only the prosperity OF the town but
the whole county, and to be more particular,
every farmer and active business citizen of the
county. Now that there is strong effort be
ing made by men who are not disheartened
by any obstacle, and whose prompt action means
success, We again refer TO the
RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
There are two bars in the river which serious
ly obstruct navigation. The Whitaker bar,
about three miles below the warehouses, and
