Fair a. virgin queen, pure as BRIDE
Sweetly thy flowers grow,
Lightly thy breezes blow;
Softly thy waters how
Down to the tide.

First in the march ofthe battles red van:
When the foul traitor stroke
Came in the battle smoke,
Loudly thy cannon spoke,
Forward, each man.. 4ase
Iowa, Iowa, Queen Of States, Iowa,
Crowned with jewel from Nature sown hand
Oh how thy bosom thrills
Out from thy rocky hills,
Down where the busy mills
Cover the land.

Blessed With Gods plenty in garner and stall
See how thy farmers reap,
Out from the golden heap,
Save what the cleaners keep,
Blessing them all.

Nursed in the arms Of the rivers that roll
out from the setting sun,
VI what race they run,
On, till they meet in one,
Meet in one goal.

Smiling in pride with the honors you wear;
Oh. may thy future be
Stili like the past oil thee,
All that we hoped of thee,

Important Land Decision.

The Commissioner of the General Land
Office bss made another important decision
10 reference TO lands occupied BY bona .6de
sst.lsrs within the grant Of the Central Pa.
ci6c Railroad Company. It will be seen
from this, that settlers, in order to secure
protection against the Railroad Company,
should take steps to furnish the Land Office
at Marysville. With information as to their
settlement. and the character Of their lands.
If the settlement has been made previous to
the grant to the Railroad Company, the set
tier will be entitled 10 pre- empt, if the laud
he agricultural. II it be mineral, that fact
should also be proven, in which case neither
the settler nor the Company could obtain a
patent for it, but the settler would continue
to bold, as at present, under the possessory
laws Of the State:-
DEPARTMENT OF rHE INTERIOR,

Railroad Company, for the east half Of north.
east quarter and east half Of south east quar-
ter, section one. township eleven north. range
seven east. have been carefully considered.
| aud your decision awarding the land to Rog.
ers is approved. The testimony shows that
the land WAS surveyed in 1885. pla's spprov'
ed in 1856, and that the land wa. proclaim
ed for sale February IA. 1859, but with.
drawn February l6, 1859, from sale, on &C.
coun. Of its alleged mineral character. and
remained so Withdrawn until May 22, 1868,
when BY order Of this Office it was declared
to belong to the non on-mneral class of lands
Rogers settled on the land January l, 1859
six weeks prior to its withdrawal from
market, as mineral lands has resided
thereon ever since with his family, making
it bis permanent home aud erecting valuable
Improvements upon said premises.
The attorney for the Central Pacific Rail
road Company wishes a decision upon the
point Of 'co,emporaneous' right Of the rail.

held from pre.emption and sale on account

which there are settlers claiming under the

letter Of November 80, 1865, in the case ol

that ninety days from this date will be given
in which to take an appeal to the Secretary
Of the Interior. II no appeal is taken, you
will permit Rogers 10 perfect bis entry by

sician who has no superior in the State, thus af.
fording them that desired to consult physician
on matters Of delicacy an opportunity of obtain
ing advice from Il gentleman whom they could rely
upon for his discretion as we'll as bis medical
abilities, has had the desired effect of attracting

~ The Registry Law having passed the

ing The Union caucus resolved some time

With it. There are two minority reports o
Of 'bs Judiciary Committee against it, and
the probabilities are that severe struggle
