The rews from Europe is Of an ex.

back the scenes of the late civil war
in this country. And not without
reason either. For we have i'm this
country millions of Germans inhab-
ting to less or more extent, all por-
tons thereof, from the lumber re-
giOns of Aroostook to the Rio
couver's Island. The appointed
Governor of our EXTREMIST territory,
extensively inhabited, is a German,
Governor Solomon, of Was hingtOn.
One of our most distinguished Scna
tors is II German, and men Of this
nationality in all parts of the c0uG-
try hold offices of honor and trust
under the broad laws and liberal
practices of our republic. In all the
homes Of all these people there is an
earnest interest i'm the war that has
just been commenced. IL is like the
interest that we all felt i'm our late
war. The acquaintances, friends,
and brethcren of hundreds of thOus-
ands of our citizens will take part i'm
tha war; whose events must, there
fore, necessarily excite deep per.
sonal interest here.
And though the feeling Of native
Americans is not personal, like that
of the Germans, il is not without n
spice of enthusiasm. We would not
attempt to repress the sentiments 10
which we refer but IL will he well

Address of German-Americans to the
German People.


From the New York Times, suly 18th.
The following address, directed to
the German people, has been pre-
pared by Germans of this city, and
is open at various places for sigma
lures by the Germans Americans Of
this city and neighborhood. 1t will
be sent to the Forth German Minis
ter, at Washington, to be forwarded
by him to Germany. The address
reads as follows:
To the German People:
BY numbering the French and Ro-
man Republics, the government of
Third" Napoleon was inaugurated.
The wars in the Crimea and i'm Italy
had to surround the newIy>erected
imperial throne with the indispensa-
BILE military nimbus, and at this mo-
ment declaration of war. forced in
by head and shoulders, and directed,
as Is pretended, against Prussia. is TO
wipe out the fiasco endured in Mexi-
co, and to fasten again the shaking
throne of the usuper and makcb bate.
Germany is to suffer now for the
Illustration of the Mexican intrigue,
which Illustration was caused by the
firm attitude of the United States.
aid has become the pile I'm the flesh
OF the Naooleonite. a humiliation
OF Germany regenerating and
Strengthening herself is to pay for the
so totally aborative attempt 10 be
auxiliary in the direction of the re-
publics, also of the New World,
which was intended by the invasion
of Mexico. The peace of the world
will not be secured so long ms a
chance is left to that US lper to avert
from himself the consequence of the
deep discussions among the easily
intiamed French nation by frivolous
declarations of war against other
States and nations.
Already one Bonaparte has found
the end of his excessive ambition on
German fields; may the second soon
reach the same fate; for the measure
of his crimes, committed against the
happiness and peace of society, is
full to OVERLOOKING. The millions of
citizens of German descent living i'm
the United States cannot for mo-
ment entertain any doubt about the
position they have to take i'm the con-
flict forced upon the country of their
birth. While they leave it to the adj
justing and judging time to make
sober the misled French nation, and
to teach 1t more correct ideas about
its own best interests and the rights
of neighboring nations, the German
citizens Of this republic cannot neg
lect the holy duty of showing eneT-
getic sympathies for their native
country, and declaring themselves
against the usurping enemy of liber-
ty and disturber of the peace of ma
tiOns. We German A mericans en-
terrain the firm confidence that on
the other side of the ocean not ono
German will be found who, by the
lame evasion of the Sphynx at Paris,
that this declaration of war was di-
rected only against the Prussian roy
al family, and not against the rights,
Interests and power of all Germany,
will be deceived, aud we expect that
the whole German people, setting
aside all particular interests, will
unanimously and with the greatest,
perseverance, accept the conflict and
fight it out.

Grain Prospects.

The Marshalltown Times thinks
the average yield of wheat i'm Mar
shall County will be about eleven
bushels per acre. The berry will be
almost perfect. Corn is looking
wonderfully fine.
In Johnson County, the grain
harvest is now in full progress, and
is said to be an excellent ore. The
wheat will exceed that OF last year,
while oats are good, aud barley aud
rye extra heavy. Potatoes are looking
up. #a
The wheat barley, aud oats crops
in Floyd County will be light, proba-
bly, about two-thirds as much rs last
year; but the quality of the wheat
will be excellent. There has been no
smut. rust, or weevil to injure the
kernel. sr... a--f -..se.-s
The Belle PLANE Benton Coun-
ty) Union says: awe have rarely
seen more promising fields, especial
ly of corn; most OF it is tall, thick,
and Iow i'm full tassel. Wheat does
not stand quite SO heavy on the
ground as usual but, unless injured
in harvesting, will be of excellent
quality. Oats are rather short In the
stalk, but will give fair yield. Bar
ley, what there is of il, is n good
crcp."
The Lyons Clinton County,
Mirror of the 18th says: "BarJey is
probably all cut. The yield is good,
if not really large, and the quality
first rate. Wheat has light straw,
and the yield of grain, in most cases,
will correspond. 1t is now well
ripened, and and the quality is num-
Der one. Should favorable weather
hold while it is being cut and saved,
this crop will be most satisfactory To
the farmer. Oats. on the whole, can
not be heavy, and yet fair turn out
of this valuable grain may reasona-
bly, be anticipated. Corn has done
remarkably well, considering the
lack Of water. The rain of yester-
day was opportune indeed. Potatoes
have suffered in consequence of the
drouth. to quite an extent.
