Considering the phlegmatic source
whence 1t came, and the time and man
ner of its coming, General Grants pro-
test against the removal of Sheridan
must be regarded as the most extraord-
mary manifesto of our time. Its tone
is so different from that which has
hitherto come from General Grant--he
is SO habitually cautious and conserva-
tive in what he says-that his emphat-
ic and ferverft appeal strikes one with
special significance. II urge-earnest-
ly urge-tfsge in the name of patriot-
ic people who have sacrificed hundreds
of thousands Of lives, and thousands of
millions of treasure to preserve the in
tegrity and union of this countrywide
this order be not insisted on.o Such Is
the impassiOned language to which, for
the first time, General Grant rises, all
his previous official utterances being
pitched i'm proverbial low key.
In the letter of Grants every word is
golden. He declares that /" it is unmis-
takably the expressed wish of the coun-
try that General Sheridan should not
be removed from his present command.
This is Republic where the will of the
people Is the law of the land i beg
that their voice may be heard. These
are truths that Mr.. johnson would have
done well to heed. That he. did not
heed them is by no means to his credit.

Presidential chair would have been as

Gen. Sheridan i'm ST. Louis.

General Sheridan arrived i'm st. Louis
on the 9th inst, and was received with
torch light procession and an i'm
mcnse tout-pouring of the people. A
dispatch says The demonstration i'm
honor of General Sheridan, was the
largest out-pouring of people ever wit
messed at st. Louis. The procession is
said to have numbered 10000 people
and the number that thronged the
streets on either side, could not have
been less than 10000 or 10000. Gener-
al Carl Schurz delivered an eloquent
address on the occasion, in which lie
referred to Sheridan as the model Amer
lean soldier, hero of many hard fought
fields, representative of American chiy-
airy, sta tesman as well as soldier. to
whom the people of Louisiana and
Texas will hereafter look with graft
tude. and as tie man who opened the
way to permanent peace and prosper
ity.
Gen. Sheridan then stepped forward
and replied as follows:
presume You all know that / never
make speeches. regret exceedingly
that am unable to make you one to-
night, but this very kind welcome has
been unexpected by me entirely aud /
can only return my sincere thanks for
your enthusiastic and kind welcome.

The Approaching ]
state Fair.

CLINTON, lows, Sept. 2, 1867.
The fourteenth annual fair of the
Iowa State Agricultural Society, will
be held en- the Cliaton county fair
grounds, midway between Clinton and
Lyons, October, LIST to the 4th, inclu-
sive.
The local committee appointed by
the board to make the necessary prep
aration for the coming exhibition, head
ed by S. g. Magill of Lyons and Col.
Smith of Clinton, have gone to work
in earnest and zealously, the grounds
are now about ready for the fair. We
have thirty-five acres Of beautiful
grounds. We will be better accomo-
dated than we have ever been before
with good buildings, sheds and pens,
inviting to all classes of exhibitors and
spectators. An amphitheatre 500 feet
long, will accommodate 5000 people with
good and comfortable seats, under COW
er. Fine Art Hall is 40 by 100, and 40
by 40, i'm form of a Greek cross. Mer-
chantlise Hall, 30 by 90. Vegetable
Hall 80 by 125. Floral Hall 80 by 125.
Closed horse stables to the amount of
$50. Open ones so. Cattle stalls 100,
Hog pens les. Sheep pens 100. Fine
spacious offices for the secretary and
treasurer, and directors meeting. A
well arranged Ladies waiting room, in
fact every thing that is being done, has
in fact gone beyond our largest expec-
tations. ea
The selection Of this locality, for the
forthcoming fair, has been most oppor-
tune, with ample railroad and water
facilities, offers inducements unequaled
in this state. And we confidently ex-
pect that there will be such display
IN the various departments, as has new.
er before been Witnessed. Neither will
this be confined to our own state. AL
ready numbers in our sister states have
signified their Intention 10 display ar
ticles and animals. Everything looks
encouraging, and no good reason can
be given why the next State Fair will
not be the best ever held in the state.
Farmers, Stock-raisers, Horticultur-
lists, Pomologists, Mechanics, Inven-
tors, &C., we ask you to contribute any
thing and every thing you have that
will make up show in keeping with
the excellent Accommodations made for
the display of everything that will
make up good exhibition. 49,.
