Gen. KiIpatricI< Under a Cloud

twas stated recently that a distinguished
American fIlnctionary on the Pacific coast
of South America had caused sensation
byintroducing into fashionable circles a
woman whose virtue and standing were not
even, liable to- be questioned. Who the
fIlnctionary might be was not stated in the
first announcement, but hints were thrown
out that it was Gen. Fitzpatrick, Minister to
Chill. A dispatch from Washington says
charges are said to have been presented at
the State Department affecting the private
conduct OF eX-Majo General Fitzpatrick,
Minister to Chill. 1t is announced that the
Secretary of State will Immediately inves-
tigate the charges, which, if found to be
based on facts, will cause the speedy recall
of General Fitzpatrick. uoli39.9 7dl ucrI
This and that put together tend to con-
firm the suspicion that Fitzpatrick is in a
bad way, provided something is not soon
done to relieve him. He is a loyal man,
did some tolerable things as a soldier, has
distinguished himself since the war as a
Radical spouter, and the Radicals owe him
something. They should not allow him to
be sacrificed for so trivial an eftense as TAX
ing prostitute with him to South Ameri-

may appear publicly In Washington with

b More UnbOIlIing of Butler.

Doctor Buffers disinterested patriotism
during the period when he bore the stars
and title Of a "Maior General" has long
since become standing joke even among
the Radicals themselves. Probably no man
in the country sacrificed less, or made more,
during and out of the war. His means,
when he went to New Orleans, were iti-
considerable. Hisbrother who went with
him and was a'.ColOner of nearly all the
cotton and sugar thatcam into the city for
a period of six months, has been called by
Senator McDougall, on the floor of the
Senate, ''a broken down California gam
bier" These two patriots Were in New
Orleans together exactly nine months. The
Doctor was suddenly recalled and replaced
by Banks. The 'Colonel" remained q
while longer to complete his draft. He
followed to New Nork, and, dying shortly
thereafter, left an estate, estimated at some-
thing more than a million, to be admins
tered upon. The Doctor himself isthought
to be the richest man to-day In New Eng.

The Crops in Northern Iowa.

From close observation and careful in
quiry made during a recent hasty visit as far
west as Cedar Falls, and north nearly to
the State line, we are convinced of two
things First, that more wheat has been
sown in the stretch OF country lying be-
tween these two points this season, than
any that has ever preceded it; and second,
that more promising crop never gladden.
ed farmers eyes than now waves on the
fields of our beautiful commonwealth. Up
to the present, nothing has appeared to mar
the bountiful prospects; neither blight, nor
mildew, nor insects have touched spear,
and everything bids fair to give US a, yield
far above the average, and that of the finest
quality. Between Nashua and Waverly,
we saw several fields already headed QUO,
which a week or two more will render
fit tor harvesting. Oats look equally WELL,
and will probably yield largely increased
crop. Barley ndrye are lightly sown. but
are as forward as the others. Corn is poor I,
there is no denying it; the same CAUSES
that have helped the light grains have dr.
minished the chances Of this and hardly an
average crop can be expected. Much OF It.
is barely out of the ground. Among many
other fields we noticed one belonging to Mr..
Cnapin, three miles south of st. Charles,
containing ninety acres, hardlya blade Of
which is more than two inches above the
soil, and much of it Just peeping Into the
sunlight. Potatoes are doing we'll. Fruit,
they don't pretend to raise, at least north I,
of Waverly, different persons assigning
different reasons; some that it Is too cold,
others that the countryis is too new. We
saw apple trees grown from the seed. of the 1
hardest varieties, that after year or two 3
of fair growth, have gradually died OUT.
Time and experience will, however, over
come difficulties, for there is no lasting
reasonwhy as good fruit shouldn't be pro- ;
duced there as in other sections lying In
the same latitude. One thing that struck
us forcibly was the large amount Of actual

do: No one shall travel, cook victuals,
make beds, sweep house, cut hair or

run on the Sabbath day, or walk in the

A Large Stock.

Wright & Trantham's adver.
tisement was received at too late
an hour last week, to call attention
to it, and we propose doing so now.
Their stock is immense, and would
seem to embrace every variety;
and certainly more beautiful col
lection it is impossible to find any
where. In fact, such temptations
are put forth to induce the public
to visit the establishment as must
prove irresistible. They are, a
splendid assortment, reasonable
prices, and prompt, respectful at
tention. Messrs. w. A. Miles
and F. G. Buchanan, gentlemen
"to the manner born," have been
admitted to the firm, and will be
pleased to see their friends and the
trading public.

think it will pass. The poll-lists

and the Radicals will not now be
likely TO render the theft "null
and void" by acting an honest
part;
WHEREAS, The Commissioners

Also, Mr.. VIM. Mcclellan has
placed on our table a treble Tur-
nip-a real curiosity-the only
one we ever saw.
And our lady friend Mrs. DR..
Duval has sent US two Turnips-
the largest Of the season. We
measured one of them, which was
entirely free from dirt, and it drew
nine pounds, and measured twenty
eightinches in circumference. We
have seen nothing here, nor in
any of our exchanges, to equal it.
