Fairfield.

Our Fairfield friends seem to be in
dead earnest about diverting the
Washington, Ottumwa and Cameron
Railroad from its present natural and
direct location, to one via Fairfield.
They have a convention TO further
this matter at Fairfield tomorrow,
the 9th inst, at which time it is OK.
pectcd they will make the G. R. /. l.
P. RR. folks a liberal offer in consid.
Grafton of their making that city q
point; meantime, Ottumwa is observ-
ing the game and quietly allowing
Fairfield to play her hand, expecting
at tho proper time to 60 her enough
better to compel her to summarily
pass in her checks, and allow us, as
usual, to carry off the stakes.
We submit below the call being
generally circulated by President
Negus:
"The citizens of Jefferson county
will hold a Railroad Convention ct
the Court House, in Fairfield, Satur-
day, March 9th, 1869, at 10 o'clock,
a. m, to forward the building of the
Railroad from Washington, via Rrigh-
ton, Fairfield, Iowaville and Bloom
field. to Cameron, Mo. The citizens
of Washington, Van Buren, and Davis
counties, along the proposed route,
are invited to attend and take part
in the convention. If the people
along the route want the road the !
can now get it. Come to the con.
vention prepared to give your CO
operation and material aid for the
road. In about three weeks the En-
gineers will be at Fairfield to make
the survey. This is the last chance.

GooD.-Gen'l Baker has adopted
the practice of posting on the doors
of the Adjutant Generals office, at
Des Meines, the names of all the
scalawag lawyers and claim agents
in Iowa, who have been unnecessari-
ly delaying the payment of war
claims collected for widows, orphans,
soldiers and heirs.
This is the best thing that could be
done next to dumping them into the

practice to Washington City officials,

Deur Brethren and Friends ofthe Y
M. c. Association Of lopa;
/ At the 18th Annual Convention OF
Y. M. G. Association Of the u. s. and
B. r, held at Detroit In June last, it
was earnestly recommended that
State andLocal Conventions should
be held for the discussion Of practical
topics intimately connected with our
work.
The Iowa Delegation in attendance
at that Conventional in connection with
the officers ofthe various Associations
feeling the Importance Of . mutual
consultation with reference to the
best means to be used in counter act.
ing the evil influences brought to bear
especially upon the young men Of
our State, to draw them away from
Christ, and dlvest them Of their pow
cr for good and the spreading the in
fluence of Christ's Kingdom, do here
by request that each Association in
the State send at least three Delegates
to represent them In the deliberations
Of q Convention to be held at Cedar
Rapids, on the 9Th, 7th and 9Th of
April, 1869, for the above mentioned
purpose.
There are about twenty Associa-
tions in tho State, and there are with
out doubt many towns where no Or
ganization now exists, which would
be greatly benefited by such an As
sociation. We earnestly desire rep
rcsentatiees from such rlaoos to take
part in the deliberations Of the Con-
vention. We therefore respectfully
but most earnestly urge the Christian
ministers in towns whore no Associa-
tions have been established to secure
if possible the attendance of three or
more dctioe christian young men, rep
rcsenting various evangelical de-
nominations to sit as corresponding
members.
This being the first Iowa Conven-
ton of Y. M. C. Assn, it is especial
ly desirable that every part of the
State should be represented. This
work is surely worth your aid. Then,
brethren, let us come together pray
ing for and expecting the baptism of
the Holy Spirit of wisdom from above
to direct us in seeking out and doing
what We can, in the Masters name,
to save this most interesting class,
and may we not say most tempted
class of our citizens-the young
men.
Active and experienced workers
will be in attendance.
Arrangements will be made if DOS
sible to secure return tickets for all
delegates.

Evening.

Evening.
How sweet when Ph9bus sinks to
rest
The cloudless sky, the glowing west.
How sweet the birds on every tree
Pour forth their evening lullaby.
How sweet when every noise is still
The zephyr'ssigh, the whispering rill.
How sweet the stars far twinkling
CLEAN
How sweet when Luna sheds her
beam.
So sweet the hour when from on high
Each star unfolds its peerless eye.
So sweet when Philomelia's throat
Is filed with her ve-labored note.
So sweet the time, so fair the hour
Whom stiffness most exerts its power,
That Natures 8 OF her 5urthen eased,
And Silence is herself appeased.

ApoLodY.--In our notice Of the
Des Moines Bulletin, recently. we
spoke of it as belonging to the neuter
gender, because the number before
Us at that time seemed to warrant
that conclusion.
We have been gratifed to notice
in subsequent numbers that it is re-
liably radical, and take great pleas
ure in retracting the charge Of neu-
trality, which, In our opinion, is but
little less odious than to be out end
out copperhead.
The Bulletin makes the following
disclaimer:
"Beg your pardon Mr.. Courier for
looking q gift horse in the mouth, but
really We hope that you will observe
hereafter that we 1t least are not
neutral. We hardly know, since
hearing Anna Dickinson's lecture the
other night, whether there is the
greater credit in mascullnity or fem
inality, but if not one thing we GER
tainly claim to be tho other. Not
any "neuter" for us if you please.
