NEW ALBION, Butler County,l
April End, 1866.
EDS. GAzETrE:-Ourv village, though
small, was once quite thriving place,
having steam saw mill; but the re-
moval of that struck q death blow to
the town.
We have now about forty inhabitants,
q postoffice, tavern and blacksmith shop
all under the supervision Of our ener-
getic townsman, Rev. Geo. Murphy.
Our facilities for instructing the youth
here are quite limited at present, as our
school house, a poor concern, was burn
ed down about two years ago. We have
labored under great disadvantages ever
since by not being able to build one
Had it not been for the generosity of
Mr. Conn in giving up a part of his house
for a school room our children must
have been destitute, of facilities for ac-
curing knowledge in the spring time
of life. There is talk ofbuilding new
school house this summer. We hope
that it will not all end i'm talk, for it is
a shame for people living in this civil
lied land to be without school house.
immigration into this vicinity the
past year has been quite large, and still
they come. The most are Germans, a
very energetic go-ahead class of people.
If any farmers get rich they deserve to.
Mr.. Murphy's daughter, a. young la
dy, fell and broke her limb few weeks
since, but is gaining nicely now.
The high water done us no damage.
Farmers have begun sowing their
wheat is this section. -a .. h..

Correspondence Of the Cedar Falls Gazette
Letter from Clarhsviile.
GAINESVILLE. April ed

CLARKsvILLE, April Sd, 1866.
MEssRs. EDITORS: -Four years ago
last summer some six or more families
left this town to seek for better ccun-
try. They sold their houses and lands,
and taking all their effects and their
children with them, they left Clarks-
vile with merry hearts; and going
South. When they crossed the State
line into Missouri it is reported that
they all gave three huge groans for
Iowa, and three huge cheers for Missou-
ri. Well, they wandered about, like the
children of Israel in the Wilderness, till
they had perambulated nearly all over
the State of Missouri and portion Of
Kansas and as it CHANGED to be in that
season Of great drouth in that region,
they came near spending their last dol
lar; when, becoming alarmed and sad
~ disheartened, they resolved to return
if possible, to GAINESVILLE. But how
changed were their feelings when they
recrossed the State line ON their return.
Some Of them said that they could both
see and Rel Che change in the air and
on the earth, SO very agreeable did Iowa
then appear to them. At length they
all returned to Clarksville, and they
were smutty looking set you may be-
lieve. And now would you believe that
several Of that same tribe are wanting
to sell out and go to Oregon! They are
the early settlers here-the Pioneers.-
They have withstood the District school,
Butler county bridges, bridge bonds;
but the GAINESVILLE Institute is altogeth-
er too much of an innovation for them.
They must "settle up'' Oregon, where
the chances Of success in voting the
Democratic ticket are thought to be bet
ter than they are here in Iowa. ..E
Mr.. Henry Newman, merchant in
this place, ia an enterprising man. Be
sides running several farms and large
store, he is manufacturing brooms, and
has lately commenced the manufacture
Of plug tobacco. He had purchased
several tons of leaf tobacco, and getting
stuck on it goes to manufacturing, hop
ing to get out whole.
Another energetic man near town
proposes to plant twenty acres to broom
corn, and he will also plant hops, and
grow tobacco and onions largely.
Several men here have bought and
others are negotiating for places here, in
order that they may educate their chill
dren at the Institute. -a
All the dams on this river have suffer-
ed from the recent freshets, but as the
food has subsidized they are being re-
paired with great energy.
- Mr.. Newman's store was forcibly en-
tered one night last week, and some ten
dollars in small change distracted. The
thief is believed to be yagabond boy
who lives in the town.
A young man attending the Institute
lost his pocketbook two weeks ago con-
tanning $50 in money and gold pen
with silver case.

Information for the Courier.

The Waterloo Courier Of March 30th
In speaking of the s5enatorsLip, says; q
The Cedar Falls G tzErTE says il has a per-
eonal IF tend il would prefer to any other man,
but withholds his name. Perhaps the y. ;.
Marslislship Is inore aeeeltabie TO that friend.
The iiyilt is free one, aud the Inducements to
go in, large and promising. ..ls....a. %,
We'll the name Of the friend is
Smith, or "any other man." which an
nounccment we trust may bring our CO.
temporary out Of the fidgets. We are
of opinion that we wrote sufficiently
plain for even the Courier to under
stand that we referred to SnlitlE But
it seems We did not; theTeforeswe beg
to be understood az having no reference
to Peter Melendy. Never have We ad-
vocated on appointment nor urged a
change that the great green eyes Of the
Courier did not see Meicndy, Melendy
from first to last. AIr. Melendy is a
man whom We are not afraid or ashamed
TO call by name when We want to. That
he cares any great sum about the con-
tinued sarcasm Of the Courier, or that
he feels much hurt BY its. feeble blows
struck over our shoulders, we do not
suppose; still the course of our neigh
Dor is nonefthe less censurable. If the
Courier is in fun, let it vent it's exuber-
ant wit on Smith for while; ii It Is In
earnest, and really dislikes Mr.. Melen-
dy, let 1t display more boldness and
lY1anliness in its antagonism.

the works of Petersburg. Sheridan, 1t
will be remembered, attained his sue
cess by half-past seven Saturday night
Grant hearing of it about 8. Before
10 our columns had passed the picket
line and were on their way to the rebel
entertainments. Parke on the right,
Wright in the center, and Ord on the
left, marched almost on the same in
slant. The 9Th corps, (Wright's) were
arranged on double line of battle, and
without ceremony they threw them
selves en- n1asse into the ditch and up
the parapet. The contest was short,
though terrible, and desperate hand to
hand conflicts occurred. The deadly
bayonet, the impulsive and fitful crash
es of musket and revolver, the crossing
of swords, the Felley now and then
(when our troops poured enfilading fires
down the inside of the parapet.) tho
yells and groans, the galloping of couri-
ers to and fro from end to end OF the
lines, made q scene of horror capable
of being imagined but not Of being de-
|Beribed.
In places the bitches were heaped
with living and dying combatants,
numbered together Promiscuously, but
every now and then northern cheers
told how the conflict went. On each
side of the 9th corps the scene was the
same. Opposite Fort Hell the rebels
had fort called Fort Heaven, ut which
they fought like satan's legions.

meet ALison's friends in Dubuque; but
hadid not 90 there to meet them. He
: did sey to those friends that if North
ern Iowa was unanimous for Allison,
he would appoint him, if he appointed
any one. Governor Stone knew very
well that Northern Iowa was not unan-

promise amounted to nothing. And
then again--if he appointed any one
Tlese representations are all wrong. A
good thing is perverted into bad thing.
Governor Stone merely recognized The
