III these golden harvest days II denizens Of
out into the country. If they have an eye
for what is beautiful-ior fields Of waving
grain and luxuriant gfass-an car for tho hum
Of the reaper and mowcr-an appreciation of
cGident prosperity, md oi the intelligence,

through few counties the other. day.
We saw everywhere signs Of en-
,erprisc, contentnent and prosper
ity. Improvements are going on In ev-
cry neiShborhood. .SaThcre are more new
fields, new fences, and new honses, than we
have seen In one summer before ior long
time. Said gentleman In n'response to some
inquiries we made: The general health Is
first rate, nobody scarcely sick. Crops A No.
1-ueyer better. More improvements In our
place this summer than there have heen in
the previous five years altogether, Our
county is going ahead rapidly. Settlers nre
coming In, old residents ase. putting up new
fences barns, houses, etc, Our railroad pros
poets are cxce1lent-a sure thing. sir, sure
thing. We ars putting up new school houses

in short, sir, we are prospering. M think
this Is the finest part Of Iowa." The same
remarks will apply to a score md more Of

do well In the business Some havc got rich
in the culture Of this crop, AID others will Ii
the prices Of last year continue.
As regards the political situation, things
look very encouraging ;ithat Is 10 sny, for the
right. The people believe In Andy johnson,
the Military Governor OF Tennessee, the
"Moses" OF the oppressed and his principles
as there proclaimed, much more thau they do
IN Andy johnson Of Washington, the Accl-
dental President OF the United States. The
thread and butter' docs not havn 4 tendency
to manufacture membcrs for the Mosiac
party. "My Policy" does not take With the
rank nnd file, although sugar coated. Ithlnk
there is no doubt that Hon. Philetus Sawyer,
member of Congress for this District, will be
se-nominated,- aud If SO, reelected by an
overwhelming majority. He Is true to prin-
ciple, great worker. and carr1es out the
wishes Of his constituents In his official acts.
Hr has done much at Washington In securing
the munidcent appropriations for the I'M
proyement of our western hRrbors.
In our fall campaign particular reference
will be had to elect such members of the
Legislature Us will be favorable to the re-elec-
tfon Of Hon. Timothy O. Howe. to the
United States Senate, which office he now
ellis with SO much dignity and ability. His
labors arc more arduous thnn they would be
Il bis Senatorial colleague did not do Hltle.
Time proves all things. We will try md hold
fast that which is good and right and true,
and trust In God. Then the outcome will be
glorious and impartial freedom, the rich re-

Although our spring was somewhat back
ward, and fcuts were entertained that crops
would not be as good this year as last, get
at the present time crops Of all kinds, except
winter wheat, bid fair to be even more than an
average. Spring wheat which Is now heading
out, looks remarkably we'll, and as tnerc was
greater breadth sown than usual, We expect
the yield to exceed in quantity any crop
heretofore raised, and the prospect for good
prices arc such as 10 warrant large income
10 the farmers. Oats bid fair to be heavy
crop. Corn Is somewhat backward, but has a
very healthy hue, and the magnificent weather
and fine showers Of late are bringing It to
perfection very rapidly. Potatoes look
Ane1y, and now warrant large and healthy
crop. The GRASS crop Is much better than
was anticipated before our timely rains. Far
mers arc Just beginning to gather 1t IN. The
mowers and rakcrs are doing the work as last
as horse power can sid them. Next week
will be Tie week really for gathering tue
grasses. Hay generally sells Il tha locality

informed them that he had q warraut for
their arrest. He would not tell them with
what crime they were charged, but hurled

with his captiycs and entered the reception
room, He called one OF the bell boys and
CHARGED him to keep watch and ward over his

The London Times, the Tory orcan Of Eng
land, strongly urges the Austrian Govern
ment TO make peace with Italy and cede to
Victor Emanuel the 1taliun Province OF
Venice. The Emperor OF Austriu has always
said that lie would not yield that Province To
threals. He might he eoaxed, but could not
he driven into eisiuE up Venice, but would
stand up stuoborlly for vfudication Of his
rights A grea, battle has been fought be-
tween the Austriaue and Italians, and the
former are victorious and can now afford to
b. ,naguaninlous. Enough has been done TO
crafty Austrian pride and honor. Hcr
true policy Is now to open negotiations With
Italy for the cession of Venice, and thus stop
the wsr on tint side OF her domtnlons.
The effect Of this course would be, to
dctach Italy from the rrussiau alliance
and 10 1ibcratc e75, 900 Of lie. best German
troops, with vast amount Of war material
This enormous reinforcement 10 Austria's
northern army would bring Prussia to terms
very spet disy. The Times then goes on to advise
Austria and Prussia to make peace and divide
Germany between them. Austria taking pos
session Of The Southern Catholic Kingdoms Of
BavAria, Baden and WertcmbnrE, while Prus-
sia gcbblcs up Hanover, saxony, schleswig-
Uolstien and couple Of dozen more little
Duchies Of Northern Germany thus giving
to Prussia The Protestant territory Of Ger
many, and TO Austria the Catholic
portion. II tho suggestion Of 1he
Tory organ were carried out, Prussia would
gain 50 900 EQEare miles, and nine millions Of
popu1ation, making her totul area To-, 900
square miles Of compact territory, and her
