Indian Affairs..-HOn. 4. ". Hubbard.

In the last Congress a joint resolution
was adopted, providing for the appoint
ment Of committee, consisting of three
member. Of the Senate and four MEM
bers of the House, to inquire into the
condition of the various Indian tribes,
and their treatment by the civil and
military authorities. Hon. A. w. Hub
bard, Representative from this District,
was appointed one of that committee b.
the Speaker of the House. Mr.. Hub
bard entered upon the discharge of his
duties in April last, and till within a
week or two has been constantly engag-
ed in an investigation Of Indian affairs
in Nebraska and Dacotah Territories. -
We are assured that no member of that
committee has labored more faithfully
than he. If we are not misinformed
the entire committee will return to
Washington much dissatisfied with the
present condition Of Indian affairs, and
quite well assured that the greater part
of our trouble with the various tribes is
directly attributable to bad manage
ment. 1t is quite apparent that radical
changes are needed in the administra-
tion of Indian affairs, and we look for
such enlightened action on the part of
the next Congress as will work vastly
improved state of things. What these
changes will be we are not prepared to
say. 1t Is asserted that Hon. j. A.
Kasson, Representative Of the 5th Dis
trict of Iowa, comedies with Gen. Pope
in the belief that the military authori-
ties should succeed to the management
Of Indian affairs. The idea seems to be
quite prevalent that the system of In
dian Agencies, at least, as now existing,
should be done away with. What par
ticular conclusions Mr.. Hubbard arriv-
ed at by his investigations We are not
informed. We dare say, however, that
bis action will be wise and satisfactory
to his constituents.

The close ofth war, instead Of being 'o''
lowed by the collapse so generally preo'c''
ed, seems to have been but the signal ior
the completion Of long cherished railroad
projects, and the formation Of new ones.-
Already We hear renewed the discussion OF
the various routes Of the Pacific Railroad,
the mightiest Of all internal improvements
undertaken, and the most important; ana
the scores Of millions once looked upon as
almost insuperable barriers to its construc-
ton, seem now to be regarded IS mere tr'
fles Of . day. Notwithstanding the loss OF
over $500, 0OO by the recent floods, the
Dubuque and Sioux City r. r. Company
halts not moment in its progress west
ward. The cars now run to Appington, u
miles west of Waterloo. and the cars will
ruE to Iowa Falls before the close Of the
year. Thus will the company have COM
pleted 43 miles OF its road within the year,
and carried itself successfully through
season of adversely rarely encountered by .
railroad company.
The North Missouri and Cedar Rapids
Railroad Company, is the name Of new
corporation organized at Ottumwa, Iowa,
for the purpose Of constructing railroad
from Ottumwa to Cedar Rapids, distance
Of seventy five miles. Only twenty eight
more miles will be required to complete
this railroad to junction with the North
Missouri Railroad at the State line, and
the latter road will soon be constructed to
that point.
When this link is completed, it will
make a continuous road from Dubuque to
keokuk, a distance Of 225 miles. The
track is now being laid between Marion and
Cedar Rapids on the D. S. W. r. R., and
this road will be open from Dubuque to
Cedar Rapids, for passengers and freight
by the ] st of September next.
When this new link between Ottumwa
aud Cedar Rapids is completed. the whole
line from Dubuque 10 Keokuk will consti-
tute substantially what was once called the
'Ramshorn" railroad.
Iii suppoeed that the building of this
road will more than quadruple the earnings
OF the Dubuque Southwestern.
The Cairo Times is strongly urging the
building of of railroad between that place
and st Louis. Two routes for the line
have been suggested -one passing BY Belle
vile, Freeourg, Athens and Sparta, through
the interior, halfway between the Illinois
Central Railroad and the Mississippi river ;
the other along the Mississippi River,
through the great American bottom, to
Chester, and then below Chester through
the hills through jackson county to Cairo

GEN. NJ. N. CRockER.-It is with regret
that we learn Of the death Of this distin-
guislled Iowa officer. Although we have
not as yet learned the disease Of which he
died, we presume that it was consumption,
a. he has been suffering FROM it for years.
Gen. Crocker had just been ordered to
Washington, preparatory to taking an im-
portant command in Texas, and at that city
took dangerously i'll and died. Not an Iowa
officer can show a more honorable record,
and none was more popular with the rank
and file Of his command. Uniting great
courage with great decision, he was admra-
bly, adapted to the many stations which he
honored, while his extraordinary courtesy
to the men Of his commands, won him an en-
viable notoriety. He entered the service in
the spring of 1851 as Captain in the Second
Infantry Sooh afterwards, his merit pro.
cured him the commission of Major Of that
regiment, and in the spring Of 1862, Of Col
one Of the 18th Infantry. At the battle of
Shlo he led this sterling regiment, and
placed his name on the list Of heroes who so
gallantly contributed in retrieving the dis.
asters Of the sanguinary 9th Of April. imme-
diately before the arrival Of Buell's forces
During the siege Of Corinth he rendered
able service, and after the fall Of that for
midable stronghold, he was promoted to
tho command Of the famous "Towa Brigade"
in the place Of Col. Hare, Of Muscatine, who
resigned on account of wounds received at
Shilo. At the battle Of Corinth, Oct. 4th,
1862, nc won the thanks ofhis superior off,
GERS by the able manner in which he handled
his command. Being suddenly attacked by.
Prices entire force, when no support was
within mile and half Of him, he sent an
important battery to the rear under guard
of the 18th and 18th Iowa, and with the
10Th and 9th awaited the assault. Having
commar ding position he repulsed the
rebel charge, and while Price vas forming
f1anking columns to capture his little force,
he retreated in safety to the town, sending
in his wounded, and the entire camp equip.
ages and baggage Of his brigade ahead Of
him. lie continued to command this brig.
sde till the vicksburg campaign opened,
when he took command Of division Of the
l7th corps, and greatly distinguished him
self At the battle Of Champion Hills. and
other similar bloody contests. After the
fall Of Vicksburg, he was promoted to the
rank Of Major General Of Volunteers. and
continued to the day Of his death in render
ing valuable service in the subjugation Of
the rebellion, and the restoration Of set.
tied state Of affairs after the conflicts were
over. Gen. Croker was very ambitious
man, yet bis taleats fully warranted his ~.

Perhaps no species Of labor is wanted in
Iowa, Mt the present time so badly as that
of female cooks and household seryants.-
Everybody is searching for servant girls
and the supply is not one-thrd equal to the
demand. The best Of wages and the most
desirable situations are everywhere offered
and yet offered in vain. While our large
cities are toeming with homeless young fc-
males, treading near the brink Of starvation
and dishcnor, the towns and cities Of Iowa
are calling for them in vain-oftering the
most powerful inducements. 1t is a fact
acknowledged by all the physicians of the
West, that there is no such powerful cause
for the general i'll health Of the women of
the Northwest, as the extreme drudgery to
which many Of them are necessarily sub
Jected by the scarcity Of female assistants.
While our large cities are filled with fe-
males in search Of labor, why cannot some
movement be inaugurated to transfer them
to where they are SO much needed, and
WHERE tuciT services VIII De SO wei reward
ed When the sterner sex wish to accom-.
plsh any desired end, Conrention is call
ed and effective measures are at once taken
to remedy the existing evils. The ladies
gathered promptly to sclieve the wants Of
our soldiers in the far South, and some ot
them to relieve lazy negroes WHO needed no
aid, ard why can't they now call convcn-
ton in our city, for the relief of their own
troubles p? A Servants Emigration Society
would be very effective and very feasible.
Four hundred females recently left Maine
for Oregon, and why can't the same num-
Der be induced to leave for Iowa? Ladies
you are sadly in want of aid, you have the
means Of rewarding labor, and now who
will move in this matter? who will call a
