BEN SAMUEls.--Wbile the Methodist Con-
ference was in session in this city, our Ben
was smitten with sudden and violent fit Of
piety, and, amid the excitement at public
.ne-.."s ....., went so far as to make Stephen A.
Douglas life member of the parent Mission
Society The business Of missionary societies
is to Disseminate the Gospel among Pagans,
and our Ben--who opposes the reading OF the
Bible in the public schools of Dubuque
wants the heather to have it. Inconsistency
thou art jewel!'


But what does Douglas care about being a
member Of Protestant Missionary Society
douglas, whose solcitude is all on the side
of Papal despctism, and who is supported By
the Catholic Priesthood Of the country! He
will no doubt regard it as great insult to be
made member of Protestant Missionary
Society, and will hardly thank Ben for his
oficiousness Dubuque Sun.

WAPELLO, Sept. 8, 1861.
: DEAR JOURNAL: =. -.Iowa's dirty orator
} Hon. REQ. H. Clay Dean, favored mike
audience of Democrats and Republic MS wit


one of his peculiarly characteristic harangues


at the Court House, this afternoon. do no


propose to enter into the details of this bill


lingsgate speech, but think few remark


upon the career of this gentleman in this city


would be of interest to your many readers.


Nearly at the commencement of his speech


he managed to kick up muss with young


man in the crowd, and leaping from the stand


aourishing big cane over his head, was about


to attack him, when he suddenly encountered


little obstacle in the shape of about t,oenty


hve Republicans, and the valiant Henry


returned to his stand in double quick time.


The opinion that prevailed in the crowd


which was composed, by the way, Of about as


many Republicans as Democrats that
he would have been considerably "chawed
up" if he had not been taken away by his
friends. The spectacle of candidate for
Presidential Elector rushing through crowd,
trying to accomplish, by the use of a. club,
that which he could not by argument, must
be very pleasing one to the respectable
portion of the Democratic party.


Through the agency of your correspondent,
Dean was presented, during his speech, with
the challenge of Mr.. O'Connor, published
recently by you. After reading it, he pro-
ceeded to decline the challenge uncondition-
ally, and for reasons, emanating from the
source they did, insufficient and ridiculous in
the extreme, and the more so from the fact
that he said, upon opening, that he had hoped
and expected to meet Mr.. O'Connor at this
place. ~


twill be well, perhaps, in connection with
this article, to give you another story to add
to the catalogue of his achievements. A few
years ago, while Dean was pastor of the
congregation in this city, he made
them the proposal, as they were trying to
raise means to pay for their new church, that,
# they would raise $40 to pay his expenses,
ne would go East and obtain money by
donation to help them out of their difficulty.
The money was raised, and he departed and
he next that was heard Of him by his expect
mt parishioners. he was Chaplain of the
United States Senate! This story comes
rom responsible source, and is we'll known
n this vicinity.


This, with the profane and obscene char
cter Of his address here, has made him very
in these parts; and, if for nothing
lse, the name of Henry Clay Dean upon Ito
Douglas electoral ticket will defeat it in
.ouisa county. U.

A RIDICULOUS SCENE. - When the Prince
of Wales was about comforting the honor of
Knighthood on the Speaker Of the Canadian
Parliament, that officer ridiculously went
down on both knees, and slit open the tight
white leggins with the strain. Rising and
backing out in his confusion, he trod upon
his long gown, and fell backward upon the
crowd. 1t was very cheap exhibition of
tOadYis1n.

BUSINESS RULES, REGULATIONS AND CHAR


aEs IN CHICAGO MARKET. - We are writer


to very often by our friends that wish intor


nation on the subject Of the rules that gov


ern Chicago trade, and the charges that ar


made by business men Tor their services


that we are constrained to give somewhat il


detail the various items of charges and ex
penses.
As the grain trade is one our friends ar


most interestedEin, I'VE will first give th'


expenses of receiving and selling grain


Grain arriving in bulk goes into some one o.


the numerous elevator warehouses after being


inspected, for which fee OF fifteen cents pei
car load is charged by the inspector. The
charge for storage is two cents per bushel
for the first twenty days, and one-half cent
for each ten days after the first twenty, This
charge is generally paid by the purchaser of
the grain. Ii it is desired to bag the grain
up and take it away from the warehouse,
another cent per bushel is charged for the
labor OF bagging, and from halfa cent to one
cent per bushel is charged for carriage, ac-
cording to distance cafted. The Commission
Merchant charges one cent per bushel for his
services in selling. This comprises all the
charges in the market, unless it remain in
store some time, when small charge for
insurance is added to protect it against the
contingency OF fire.


The storage and bagging charges can often
be saved, ii grain Is bagged by the shipper
Commission Merchant direct from the cars,
and if it is grain suitable for milling, can
generally be sold as much as storage and
baggage charges higher, as these charges are
saved, thus making it to the advantage of
tie farmer or country dealer some three
cents per bushel if he has good article to
send it in bagged. If it is a No. article it
will probably sell just as well in bulk, as
millers would not probably want it, and it
would have to be sent to the warehouse any
way.


If the shipper has bags of his own, and
has either very fine lot Ct wheat, or lot
that is damp, so that it would pass rejected
in this market, We would recommend send
ing ii in bags, as in that case the Commission
Merchant can have chance to take it to
some open store, spread it out and dry it,
which when done, if free from must, it will
pass as No. or 2, as the quality will warrant.


These are all the charges contingent on
shipping grain to Chicago. Farmers should
have their grain clean and dry, end as the
present crop of wheat is very plump, it will
generally be graded NJ. l. The inspection
regulations are at present, for Whea: weigh
ing 50 lbs to the measured bushel and clean,
graded No. J, weighing 56tbs to the measured
bushal, No. 2, any weight below Sc lbs, it is
graded rel -cted. Corn posses 10. l when

MARRIAGE OF a DECEASED WuE's SrsrER.-The
late respected Duke of Norfolk, when in the House
OF Commons voted in favor of legaizing marriage
with the sister of deceased wife, and spoke in its
favor in the following terms:-'Seeing that it was
not against the law Of God, .eeing the great social
ing that there was no comparison between the So
cia advantages and the social disadvantages arising
from this cause, he should give the measure his
cheerful assent" The late Baron Buusen bore tes-
timony before the Bishop Of Lchfed, and the
other Royal Commissioners, to the frequency of
such marriages in Prussia, and to the desirable
consequences which were admitted by the most en-
lnent men in that country to result from them The
practice IS legal in this country, but the general
sentiment of society is against the connection.

GS~The question is often asked--''Why is it
that DIR. j. G. loung is so successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?" The answer must be or should be. plainly
apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession. and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
ticc, that he is perfect master of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never lifted to be delivered
his course is onward and upward placing him at
the head Of his arduous profession. So great has
been his increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate with himself two other physi-
clans. both of extended Wedge and practice
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system, and will always warrant a perfect cure.
His Office is 2l0 Clay street. opposite the upper
corner of the Plaza.

HENNEss Passive notice in the Nevada
Democrat statement that Sales pack train
had succeeded in getting through this pass
to the eastern slope, and would hereafter
make regular trips that way. A gentleman
from Virginia City thinks this mistake, and
assures US Mr. Sale was unable to open
trail for his animals and finally crossed by
the Jamison route. But we are inclined to
think the Democrat is not mistaken. Mr.
Smith, who has been driving a passenger
train by the damison route went up on We'd
nesday to ascertain whether it is practicable
to attempt opening the Henness Pass forth
with, and if he decides that it is the thing
will be done. Doubtless trail can be made
by the two trains in conjunction, unless the
storm now raging has deposited another
thick snow bed


There is likely to be two good wagon roads
leading from Nevada county to the Henress
Pass-the Truckee Turnpike, which is now
vigorously under way, San Juan enterprise,
and the Henness Pass Turnpike, soon to be
consmenced, and which originated at the
county seat. These roads are both needed,
whether Wasfoe rs a humbug or not fbut it
is not) and will contribute immensely to- the
convenience ard prosperity of the citizens Of

both. The Henness Pass Turnpike begins

four miles from San Juan, and some day we
hope to see the road connecting this place
with it much improved by our business men
who desire to enlarge their circle of trade.

THE COLUMBIA HILL CINsABAR.-On our
first page will be found an account of a visit
to the locality of the reported quicksilver
discovery near Columbia Hill. The substance
called cnnabar we think to be nothing more
than the decomposed surface of slate rock,
forming a clay and redeemed by oxide of
iron. 1t would probably make good bricks.
but we failed to wiring any quicksilver from
it. Others have been more fortunate with
out doubt, for they SO declare, and the soft
rock is still believed 10 be cunabar. Some
of it has been sent to Nevada to be assayed
Since writing the article above alluded to,
we have been informed that the raYine in
which the dead" was struck was mined for
gold as long ago as 1853 quicksilver being used
and likely wasted. Some of this quicksilver
probably permeated the decomposed rock,
became divided into minute globules, aud
has thus deceived and excited whole COM
munity.


But the discovery of rich quartz near Co.
lumbia Hill, elsewhere mentioned, is no
mistake. Other specimens are exhibited
which contain numerous golden specks. A
small sack full of dirt obtained from the
outeroppings and panned out yielded one
dollar and twenty cents. 1t is strange that
quartz leads were not long ago found and
worked on the ridge between the Middle and
South 1uba. Every ridge north and south
of it abounds in paying ledges, and doubt
less this will prove to be like them as soon
as attention is turned in that direction.
