GAINESVILLE, Iowa, June 18th, 80.
MEssRs. PERKINS The rains which
we have had recently, have revived veg
citation of all kinds, and they were
greatly needed, as the earth had become
very dry and roads dusty.
The potato bugs have made their APP
pearance already in large numbers in
this vicinity. The canker worm has
also done great injury to the fruit trees,
and The measuring worms are making
sad havoc with the gooseberry and cur
rant bushes. Verify, there is destruct-
i've insect, peculiar to each and all
plants.
GAINESVILLE now enjoys the luxury of
q daily mail, but how long it will con-
tipue we do not undertake TO say.
About one hundred scholars now at
tend the district school in this village,
and we are informed that there are at
least two hundred more below the law
full school age! ....
The chap st. Claire, who talked of
starting saloon here, thought it not
safe to do so after the stills of his insti-
tuition walked off so unceremOniously
on a certain night. So, after making a
very patriotic speech to his copperhead
friends and whipping his wife, he gath
cred up his effects, and cleft his country
for his country's good"
An allopathic physician and druggist
of this town brought q small package of
homeopathic medicine from Cedar Falls
for a lady here, and, before delivering
them, opened the package and appro-
priated ten out of fourteen walls of the
medicine, and then refused to pay for
them.

For Friends at Home.

! This is Monday, June 18th, and am
/ travelling on the Milwaukee & Prairie du
Chen Railroad, bound for Boston. On
Monday last, the question: was, Shall
/ 60 to General Association at McGreg-
or? Had said no to that same question
several times. On Tuesday morning
somebody brought $40 to me, offering it
as a loan. took $40, and my satchel,
and the ID. d $. {. cars for Dubuque.
Took boat OH Wednesday for McGreg-
or. Had very satisfactory meeting,
as every one said. The credit of that,
the Association was disposed to ascribe
largely to McGregor, and McGrcgor
was ready to ascribe it to the Associa-
ton. So the Moderator made speech
+ filled with gratitude to the big hearts of
McGregor, and Bro. Sloan (pastor of
Congregational church, made a speech
filed with gratitude to the Association.
Finally tlesconclusion was agreed up
on that wewere good fellowsall around.
Then, as for years we've done, to the
tune of Shining Shore, we sung my
days are gliding swiftly by" and said
geod-night.
This morning, at the unreasonable
hour of four, 1 was called to answer !:
Would l go to the National Council of
Congregational Ministers and Church
es? Had debated that question over
and under and through fifty times,
more or less. Money was the word,
that is the chief word--money for the
family at home - money for myself
abroad. Not that there was no money
in the world, only that there was not
much Of it in my pocket and what was
there was borrowed. What to do
I There has never been meeting OF

posed Council. Within the century,

A correspondent who signs himself
"G. b." writes us to deny the truth of
q communicated item which lately APP
peared in the GAZETTE, to the effect
that the good people of Shellrock got
very jolly by the aid of DIR. Hostetter
ut the rejoicing over the news of Lees
surrender. "G. b." goes on to tell us
how the people did rejoice, and our
opinion is that they done it up brown,
and according to the rules of propriety
and good sense. The details, however,
are too old for publication. If sc. b."
had written us atthe time of the cele-
bration, his letter would have been in
teresting, and prevented the floating Of
stories the like of which he complains.
The GAZETTE is DESTROYS of presenting
Shellrock to the world, and that, too, in
her proper light. We are quite sure
&c. b." tells the truth when he says:
II don't believe, Mr. Editor, that any one
can find another place in the State, our equal
in point of numbers, that has done more than
s.helrock, or that has done 1t more willingly.
We have filled all calls, and now have men to
our credit never had a man drafted during
the war, and out of a voting population of one
hundred and live, over seventy have gone into
the army"

Stale Nominations.

All that We defniteiy KNOW AT TIL:
writing of the proceedings of the State
Convention, which met in Des Moline:
on "Wednesday last, the 14th instant, il
contained in the Special Dispatch to the
GAZETTE, which was received on the
evening of that day and issued in an
extra, aud which may be found in an
other column. That the dispatch reach.
ed us on. "Wednesday evening, as it had
tocome the rounel- sbont way of Chica-
60, is evidence that the business was
promptly done, and the Convention
more than usually united and haEmoni-
Gus. I'VE are probably safe in saying
that all the candidates were nominated
either by reclamation or on the first
ballot. IL particulars are received be-
fore going to press, they will be found
elsewhere in this paper.
Gov. Stones denomination was al
most foregone conclusion. He has
proved such good and efficient officer,
and given such entire satisfaction to the
great Union party of the State, that
very few indeed were willing to.replace
him at this time with any. other
man, however good. and worthy that
other man might be. The precedent of
renominating officers to second term,
probably done much for the success of
Gov. Stones friends; but the chief in
strument, nevertheless, in his renomi-
nation was his popularity witkthe peo-
pie whom he has 50 well served. This
popularity is based in the faithful per-
Torrance of his duties during tie time
he has filled the executive chair, and
the admirable manner in which he has
looked after the interests of the State,
and the care he has had for our noble
soldiers. He is, therefore, the peoples
candidate, and as such he is in the field
fer reelection. .a
Hon. b. f. Cue, candidate for Lieu
tenant-Governor, is the editor of the
Iowa North Vest, published at Fort
Dodge. Mr.Gue has had large expe-
rience in the Senate, and win make an
excellent presiding officer, we lave no
doubt. determination could have been
made more entirely satisfactory to our
mind. He is a man who willhonor his
locality and his State in nearly any ca
pacisy in which the public confidence
may place him:
Tlle denomination of Judge Wright,
Is of course eminently satisfactory the
State. over. He honors the Supreme
Bench of Iowa, and in turn iowa hon
ors him. He is unquestionably the
man for the place, and unquestionably
not at present to be spared. ...
present Superintendent of Schools
is also re-noininated. As we have here
tofore stated, so far as we know he has
been y good officer, and therefore we
can support him readily and cheerfully
for reelection.
We think an excellent State ticket
has been made, and there is 10 more
doubt but that it will be triumphantly
elected than that the sun will rise to-
morrow.

um, where "chsos" would "reign SUI
preme." Incompetent to govern them
selves, and too lazy to work when they
could live by stealing they would speedily
become a thorn in the side, and stencil
in the nostrils of the neighboring states,
who. with the appreciation OF the world,
would reduce them again to slavery or
exterminate them root and branch.
1t would involve the utter subversion Of
our present form of government. The
constitution gives no Sovereignty" what
ever to the general government, except as
to the powers therein delegated, and such
disorganization Of states as this, could
only be done by disregarding and tramp
ling under foot the most sacred provs.
ions Of our fundamental law. II ever such
a scheme be carried out, then indeed may
the epitaph be written above us. "Here
lie the remains of free people of twenty
six millions, who gave away their liber-
ties, to secure freedom for four millions of
blacks"
Those who have opposed the sudden
destruction of American slavery, are not
responsible for the evils to both black and
white races which must inevitably result
from this tremendous social revolution.
The Republican party must bear this bur-
den alone, and fortunate will they be, if
their name is not execrated for their part
in it, to the end of time. Some plan must
speedily be adopted, for in the language of
General Cox drifting will probably de-
eide this matter against the black race,
and entail upon the country the worst ma
terial effects Of slavery" We Democrats
can do nothing. Our aid would not be
accepted even five had any to offer. We
shall watch with deep interest the unfold
ing Of events /; ready to be pleasantly sur
prised, because we anticipate little that is
good. If Clay, Jefferson and De Toe
queville toere right, the American people
will yet be compelled to retrace their steps,
and, as the sole practical measure to save
the blacks from destruction, to re-
establish in substance, the system of sub
ordination in which they have hitherto
been held.

As New England seems determined that
the negro shall vote and that he shall receive
a certain price for his labor. the proper way
to accomplish this is to have the negroes
moved into New England. This would place
the negro under the exclusive control Of New
England and that country could then have
the matter OF mscegenation, negro suffrage
and negro wages oil its way. There could be
no more quarrling over the negro, and New
England as we'll as the rsst Of the country,
would obtain permanent peace. - Holmes
