Sr.' LOUIs, Nov 4 Gov. F}etcher's
message was read in the Legislature yes
terday. The Governor treats the rail-
road question in considerable length, and
cangratulates the State on tue compile
ton of the Pacific road, and recommends
the sale of rhe southwest branch of the
Iron Mountain road, So that private ell
tcrprise may finish the former to the
southwest corner of the State and con
meet with the system of roads III south
ern Kentucky, thence to Galveston, Tex
as. and the latter to Columbus, KY, to
connect the Mississippi road by Mobile
and New Orleans. The Governor thinks
fbe road can be sold to parties who will
carry out this plan.
The establishment of an agricultural
college, military school and additional
aid to the State university and other
educational institutions are recommends
ed. The Governor urges some changes
in the new constitution, the most import
ant of which are that no Union soldier
honorably discharged from service shall
he REQUIRED to take the oath of loyalty
except as provided in thirteenth section;
that trustees, all officers of corporations
in which neither the United States this
State, nor county, city or town thereof
is interested as stock holder, creditor or
contributor, also all teachers in schools
not endowed nor supported by United
States, this State or county thereof, shall |
he exempt from the requirements OF the
second article. The question of the right
of the people TO make law requiring
eccles astical functionaries to take the
oath of LOYALTY, being before the United
States SUI prome Court, the Governor
makes no suggestion in regard to t he con
stitutional requirement relating thereto.

Lessons Of the Election.

~ The smoke Of the late political contest
he's cleared off, And we have the gratifica-
stion.ef seeing the Union banner still float
p ia tffaniph over every State. Subter-
Iuge and treachery has plished moth
+. ing so far sts general results are concerned,
and has succeeded i'm only a very few To-
Ecalities. 'Possumism has had u brief tho
stors,sv Career. 90.
a II Will be well tostudv the lessons Taught
in this canvass. One fact that stands>out
rrominently'is that the great mass of the
American people can only be controlled by
q principle, never by the mere arts and sub
terfuges OF politicians. Tricks and false
pretensions can never succeed IA this
country.
Another fact il manifest. The Union
party of this country is a compact, reliable
organization, conscious Of the great work
Z has to do, is fully set upon its accom-
plishmcnt. 1t was formed to save the
Union of the States, al q, in addition to
that, to establish upon permanent foun-
dation, liberty, justice and equal rights
, Throughout the Republic.
i Another lesson is, that no party can be
formed III this country upon the elements
of disloyalty which are floating loose over
the land. The people dread and will never
permit the authors of and svmpathisers
with the rebellion to return to power, in any
shape, or under any pretense. The preju-
dice against the rebel is stronger than
Z against the negro. Hence the hopes of the
Copperheads Of a disruption of the Repub-
lean party upon the suffrage question,
have been sadly disappointed. If they are
wise, they will he benefited by the lesson
taugnt them last Tuesday.
1t may he regarded as definitely settled
by the result Of the recent elections, that
rebels must be DISTINGUISHED, or give salts
factory assurance Of future loyalty to the
Union, that the Federal debt must be paid:
that the rebel debt shall not he paid. and
that until these questions are settled, upon
Union principles, the country cannot dis
pense with the Union Republican party.
Let the Union party be true to itself and
It's principles, and it has n long career OF
usefulness before it.

Hon. John Fl. Gray, Judge Of the Fifth
Judicial District. died mt his residence in
Des Moines, on Saturday last. The Dnily
| State Register, from which we CLEAN. speaks
highly of Judge Gray as man and a Jurist.
VALUABLE STA rIsTIcs.-The Census Re-
port Of Secretary Wright, for 1865. inst now
going through the press. gives 1921 miles
Of railroad in the State. The number of
Colleges. academies and universities is Al.
The number of dogs is over sc. 900; and the
value Of sheep DESTROYED by dogs and
wolves during the past year is s126,14s.-
The only deficiency which we have vet
noticed in the report is an omission on the
part Of the Secretary to state the number
and valne of the dogs and wolves destroy
ed by sheep during the year. IF the Re-
port had given this. the General Assembly
for 1866 would have been furnished with a
clinching argument in favor of the protec-
ton of dogs and wolves against the rava-
ges of sheep. The most harmless animals
will retaliate on their prosecutors; and this
accounts for the uprising of the dogs and
wolves against their sanguinary enemies.

How to Raie .peasches Every Year.

Peaches con be raised IN Iowa IA we'll as
choice Peaches this year on one tree five
years old. have seen peaches raised in
Iowa on one tree every year for the last
ten years. BY observing the following di.
rections any one can do the same. When
quite young, set the tree in the ground
with the roots all running north and
south, and trim thertree to fair shape
with the edge in the same direction "a the
roots When the tree Is past three wears
old. and after the leaves are all off in the
Fall lean il toward the westtill the branches
nearly touch the ground; this can he easily
south will only be slightly twisted. This
shou be the permanent position of the
tree; never should 1t be righted up. The
suckers or watersprouts should be kept
stripped during the summer. or the vitality
of the tree will run to sprouts. The ends
Of all the branches should be clipped about
the first Of August, to force the sap into
the fruit buds. Every Fall before the cold
weather, cover the tree with brush to keen
the tree close to the ground, and with straw
over the brush to protect the fruit buds
from the cold.
Thus by little care aud labor every
wear. we cnn raise an abundance Of that
delicious fruit, and he saved the expense
OF importing from distance.
