Mr.. Stewards Guest.

Mrs. Senator Foote'S departure from
Washington was welcomed almost as
warmly as her coming. The ladies at
her hotel, in particular, are greatly
wroth with her. In their gentle hearts
they took pity on her sufferings in reb-
eldom, and sought to welcome her to a
land where she would find something
to eat, and cease suffering from moth
ing to wear" To their great disgust,
she responded by depicting the de-
lights of Richmond, and absolutely
came off with flying colors. Said the
wife of an eminent officer, l tried to
be polite to her but when she told
me that the day before she left Rich
mond she saw as good market as she
ever saw in her life, couldn't stand
any more of it !" The general ver-
dict of the ladies was, that if Mrs.
Foote was type of Southern Union
ism, Mr.. Seward might welcome her as
much as he pleased, but we had better
keep fighting while longer Wash.

Now and Then,

As to the numbers engaged in the
present civil war, the little State of
Massachusetts, according to an article
in a recent publication, has furnished
more men in our present struggle than
fought on both sides in the great Eng
lish rebellion. 1t has sent more men
into the field than Julius Caesar COM
manded to gain the empire of the whole
world more than all the troops of
Hellas put together in the long strug-
gle that rent her in pieces, when her
sun went down in blood The State
of New York has equipped more sol
diers than all the troops of Caesar and
Pompey put together, though drawn
from every Province, from the Euphra-
ties to the pillars of Hercules. The
whole army of Cromwell would only
serve as skirmishers, or as a detail for
a raid +" from the army of Grant or
Sherman. His great military fame
was gained by managing twenty-five
thousand men and it's marches and
evolutions were within an area less ex-
tensive than the State of Virginia.

The Chestnut in Iowa.

The Burlington Harkeys responds
!, the call of the Dubuque Farmers
Club Cor Information in regard to the
cultivation of The chestnut tree in this
State. That pa ner says:
1--WE have it on the authority OF a
friend, that Hon. A. M. Patterson,
State Senator from Marsha, county du-
ring the term of 1862, has cultiva-
ted the chestnut with marked success.
The tree proved perfectly hardy in
that locality and at the age of five or
six years produced quite crop. Gull
tivated in open ground, the chestnut
heads low down with a spreading
top like a well-developed apple tree,
and produces fruit quite early. Plant
ed in groves, it would grow tall, and
in a few years would attain size
which would render it valuable for its
timber. Its rapid growth, it's perfect
hardness, and its value--whether rails
ed for ornament or economical purpos-
es-render it one of the best trees for
culture in the Northwest. We advise
our readers to give it trial the COM
ing spring. Young trees may be pro-
cured from well-regulated nursery,
or they may be propagated from the
seed"

ponmanship.
Mrs. w. r. Wilson, of Bremen cou

Mrs. w. r. Wilson, of Bremen coun-
ty, whose husband recently died in
the army, has commenced teaching q
writing school at the school house in
this village. The penmanship of very
many of our citizens, young and old,
needs improving, and we advise all,
who possibly can, to attend Mrs. Will
sons school. She teaches the Spence
rian system, the same that has been
by the Board of Educa-
ton and Superintendent of Public In
struction of this State, and is herself
a superior writer, as all may see who
will take the trouble to call on her and
examine specimens. The samples of
progress made by pupils whom she
has taught in other places are remark
able, and show that Mrs. Wilson has
an excellent faculty to impart instruc-
ton. Good penmanship is an admira-
bic accomplishment, and all should
the present opportunity and
avail themselves of it.

For the Charles City IntelIigencer
A Graded School,

Mr.. EDITOR How soon shall we
have a Graded School in St. Charles
Township! That the people need
and will have such school does not
admit of question and with united
action the time does not appear far
distant y
Next Monday, 18th inst, is the day
Of the regular meeting of the voters of
the Township School District to de-
eide upon the amount of tax to be rails.
ed for school purposes. On Monday
of this week at the annual meeting of
the voters of Sub.District No. 8 the
following Preamble and Resolution
were adopted TrmtN ~ Z
The Electors Of Sub District No. 3 respect
fully represent that the school facilities Of our
Sub. District are totally inadequate to the
proper accommodation and education of the
scholars thereof; and .s...
WHEREAS, A large expenditure is necessary to
meet the pressing and immediate wants of
said Sub District, therefore
Resolved, That we do hereby instruct our
Sub Director to certify this fact TO the next
regular Township District meeting, to be held
on the second Monday in March, 1865, and
request the voters to authorize and instruct
the Board of Directors to erect as soon rs prac-
ticable In our said Sub District No. 8, q school
edifce suitable for the accommodation of Ora
ded or Union Schools, to consist of at least
ttra In H1,,- Al e. 4
second grade to belong exclusively TO said
District No. 8, and the school of the third
or higher grade to be open and free 10 the adj
vanced pupils of the entire Township District
said school building to cost not less than
eight thousand dollars ($S, 900, and to be con-
structed of either brick or stone, in the dis
cretion of the Board of Directors.
The attendance was large, and a
determined feeling was manifested in
favor of better educational facilities,
and at the earliest possible period.
If necessary, individuals stand ready
to advance money, before il can be
raised by tax, to complete Graded
School building this season--provided
material and workmen can be obtain
ed-and thus secure to the Township
the benefit Of Graded School the en-
suing season |! To secure such q re-
suit, just and liberal policy must be
adopted at the Township meeting on
Monday of next week. With such a
spirit and united action. Floyd county
can present educational advantages
at least equal to those of any neigh
boring county. Suppose that, to Sc
cure this desirable end, a heavy tax
is necessary, that local and personal
feelings must in some instances be
yielded to secure the greatest good
to the greatest number" is not the
object worth all the sacrifices that
any public spirited individual has or
can we'll be called to make Z Will any
Of our citizens stand in their own
light upon the subject of the impor-
lance Of a Graded School to the Town
ship? For reasons too weighty and
too numerous to mention it is to be
hoped they will not. PHILoM.
