At seven o’clock the two large river steam-

about one thousand excursionists, swung
from her moorings at Dubuque, and rapidly

morning was charming, the company gay
and jubilant, and the shores on either bank
dressed out in that. richest green which
Spring time wears. - One after another we
passed the pretty little towns where fortunes
were so rapidly made previous to ’57, and so
rapidly unmade when the terrors of that fi-
nancial collapse seized upon those “ city lot”
speculators, whose name was legion.

At two P. M., we disembarked at Clinton,
a wide awake little town, beautifully laid out

Iowa Central House, under the tentelage of

full well “how to keep a hotel.” The amia-

inf-the town’stfair maids and manning-were
.unceasing in their efforts to render Our short
sojourn pleasant and agreeable, in all of
which the younger and gayrér portions of our»
party insisted that' they {neceeded most ad-

great surprise to us to witness, all through 3
Pennsylvania, the intense hatred (expressed !
on every occasion when the subject ofpolitics
was introduced) towards the Head of the
present National Administration, particularly
by those who had helped to elevate him to
his present position. The Pcnnsylvanians ,
don’t seem to spare the “gray haired” veteran
from any local ground of pride or affection.—
It seemed to be as when lovers fall out, they
hate in full proportion to that they have
loved. -Wllat an uncertain‘baublc is politi-

Horace Greeley at Chicago.

The course of Mr. Greeleyrat' Chii'ago has
not only surprised and saddened, but has
permanently alienated very. manyvin all our
States who have hitherto =been‘his warmest
adnnrers. The following extract from a let-

 

ter of Henry J. Raymond, written to that

Tlmoe from Auburn, Gov. Seward’s residence
lets a little light on the difficidt subject, and
1s, we reluctantly believe, a just ve rsion o
the facts—Danbm'y Jefi'ersom'mt. . .

_ W,“ Yes,‘ and this same Henry J. Raymond
has done more to poison the public mind and
drag down the Republican Party from the
Seward standard, in all the doubtful States
than all others combined. We believe his;
present attitude to be one of utter sc] fisllness
and hypocrisy, and we have other reasons
for our belief than his windings, twistings
and Jesuitical assaults upon‘ our cause for
the past two years. The course of Mr. Gree—
ley at Chicago was just such as any honest
man must have taken who believed with
him that the greatest statesman is not always
the best candidate. A. thousand G reeleys
could not have averted the result at Chicago,
and we can’t see how any sane man,5desiring
the success of his principles, can look back
with a wish to have had the result changed.

W ‘Washington o’corrcspondent of the
Louisville Journal is sorely exercised because
the Republicans at Chicago should have
passed by two such able statesmen an dunex-
ceptionable gentlemen as Bell and Everett,
but apparently feeling that the case is' a hope-
less one for them, and that honest old ABE is
to. be elected, says “he knows him portend]-
1y,” &c., and that he is upon the Whole a
pretty clever fellow, who Trill make a. rolcrabll/
for? President. We think so too, and so do
the people. '

limits, and where it seems difficult to dispel
the illusion that if the cars should only run a
few miles further on they would bury them-
selves in the sun’s eye and all go down togeth-
er .’ But enough of prairie sunsets.

In reaching Codar Rapids we have passed
through one of the richest and most magnifi-
prairie Counties the sun ever shone upon.
The mind can scarcely comprehend the mag—
nitude Of these prairie districts, or their ca-
pabilities. for sustaining the teeming millions
of freernen who are yet to make this garden
of the world their future home.

A- large impromptu Ratification meeting
was held in front of the principal hotel, and.
'u street auditory of several thousand persons
listened to addresses from the talking men of
our party till near midnight. The same wild
and unbounded enthusiasm which had
shown itself at every landing and railroad
station, was also rife here. The citizens
rushed in and proffered their hospitalities to
those of our company unable to procure ho-
tel accommodations. We found congenial
quarters with Mr. Davenport, of the Cedar
Valley Times, and formerly, we believe, con-
nected with the Waterbury (Ct) American.
The greater portion of our party were so
charmed by the beautiful region they had
passed through the day before that they re-
tumed by the same route to Clinton next
morning, and thence via Fulton to Cili-
cago. Our own eyes longed for new con-
quests, however, and in company with some
fifty or seventy-five others succeeded in
chartering conveyances by horse power
across the pj'airies due south thirty miles to
Iowa City. Here we arrived in time for diu-
ner on Wednesday, and found the Hotels
jammed to overflowing with delegates from
all parts of the State, in attendance. upon
their State Convention, and the Congression-
al Convention for that district. Here too we
met our former friend, and oflicial superior
at the Post Office Department, HON. FITz
HENRY WARREN. . Mr. Warren is now and
has been for several years past, 'a banker at
Burlington, and we are glad to see was cho-
sen Presidential Elector for the State at large
by the Convention which we left in session.
It having become known that our . friend
Woodford was in town, he was immedi-
ately beset by those who had heard
him and others who had heard of him
in his stumping tour of Minnesota lasf;
fall, to remain and address the Conven-
tion and citizens at a public meeting that
evening. After much importuniughe eons
sented, and we were forced to leave‘our
faithful bed-fellow and travelling companion
behind, We leaving at 2 12 P. M. for Daven-
port alld Rock Island en route for home, via
Chicago. Having already been four days
longer absent than we had anticipated, we
resolved upon a return to our post of duty
as rapidly as the iron horse could whirl us
011, although earnestly iluportuncd to stop
over, and to- extend our trip in almost all
conceivable directions. We reached the
beautiful town Of Davenport, (the residence
‘ot Will. T. Clark, One of ourNorwalk boys,)
at about ,6 P. M., thus crossing the monster
Bridge of the Rock Island Railroad over the
Mississippi River at this; point, by daylight,
and reaching Chicago at6“A. M. on Thurs-
day morning. At Morris, some eighty miles
west of Chicago, we were joined by Jeremiah
Brown, personally known .to many of our
citizens at home as the Western WOOl agent
of Louusbury, Bissell do 00., and more re-
cently brought into public notoriety through
the published correspondence between him-
self and his ill-fated brother, John Brown,
who driven to madness by pro-slavery-
wrongs and outragesin Kansas, suffered such
a fearful expiation of his mistaken deeds at
Harper’s Ferry. /

From Chicago we took the first morning
train of the Chicago & Fort Wayne Railroad,
connecting with the Pennsylvania Central
route, now so popular as one of the great
western thoroughfares. We rode all day and
night, first through the wild regoins of Indi-
ana, and then the rich and cultivated por-
tions of Ohio, reaching Pittsburgh at day-
break. Here we were joined by that large-
hearted as well as generous bodied : man,
JUDGE FOSTER of New Haven,Mr. Carriogton
of the Journal, and his lady, with a large
number ofother eastern delegates who had
left Chicago twenty-four hours in advance of
us, but owing to a succession of accidents,
had lost their eastern connections and been
compelled to lay over till the arrival of our
train. By sun-rise we began climbing the-
rugged sleeps of the Alleghanies. The wild,
romantic scenery which‘environs this ascent" '
and descent is not to be found surpassed on
this Continent. As our long train wound its
serpentine course down one curve and round
another, our locomotive at times was literally
going in one direction while the rear of the
train was moving in just, the opposite. Let

every conceivable point in vain, our friends had
caused to be inserted a notice of that sudden, and(as
it'was feared at the time,) fatal illness which has so
long enshrouded our household in painful anxieties
and sorrow. Up tothis point our excursion had been
one of unall . -- pleasure, and the brief announce-
ment our friends of the Tribune were so kind as to
make, not only dashed asideour own 'cup of joy, but
the sympathy which seemed to depict itself upon the
faces of all those wlmse friendly acquaintance we
lied made on the trip seemed only exceeded by the
deeper sympathy we found'pervadlng the entire com-
munity upon our arrival home, which we reached
by the Port Chester Special Train, early on Saturday
morning. Verily, “one touch of nature makes the
whole world kin," and we should feel that we
had done the promptings of our own heart linustice,
did we not in this connection express to one and all of
our many friends our sincerest gratitude for their A
kind offices and kindlicr sympathies to us and ours in.
that hour of trial. To our entire medical corps we'
would especially tender thus publicly our heartiest
thanks. Among them there was no halting about
trifles or standing upon professional etiquette or
punctil'lios, but one and all, joined with earnest pur-
pose to contribute the utmost of their skill, which,
under God, has proved successful, and we now rc-
joicc ill the hope of aspeedy deliverance from the
terrors that have cushroudcd our home. By our cx‘1
Changes we see that we are not nloneof the number
who went joyously to Chicago,who have been called
to mourn. On the first Sabbath following our ad-
journment, we notice one delegate followed his child
to the grave; another delegate from Central New
York died before he reached his home; another‘s re-
turn was hastened by his entire family of children
being taken alarmingly ill with scarlet fever, and on
Saturday last the papers announce that the noble and
gifted Schoolcraft, delegate from the Albany district,
had died by the way, in Canada, unable to reach his
horde. l And yet these mutations of our daily life are

for these trials to the eye of Christian faith, are but .,

The Small Pox in Ridgefield.

DEAR Mn. GAZETTE:

As your columns have contained an allu-
sion to the disease which has frightened us all so
- dreadfully, we, who have survived, are desirous of
having the full particulars preserved in your paper.

It has been a. time of terror! Not a footetep Was

heard in the silent streets. The grass has been grow-
ing higher and higher, and if the disease had not
“ stayed proceedings," it seems probable that the
weeds, as in the German Story, would have hidden
the houses, chimneys and all. Occasionally some
brave fellow, determined to obtain a copy of the GA-
ZETTE at the Post Office, would steal along upon the
Other side of the way,—carcfully mufiiing his nose,
and bearing a huge bottle of camphor in his pocket,
——nnd declaring, upon his return, to his wife, that he
had escaped dangers far surpassing any Ulysses could
brag of to his dear Penelope.
- One of the first steam-carriages was made for a
turnpike road. Coming to a toll-gate, the driver ask-
ed the keeper “ What’s to pay 7” “Na, Na, nothing
to pay, good Mr. Devil,” said the keeper, scarcely
able to speak, “ go on as fast as you can." So we all
felt t t if We dared to go to the nearest toll-gate, the
kfimpfiolding his nose and mouth, would say to us
—“ Nothing to pay, good Mr. Small Pox; keep as far
off as you can.”

But We are better, how. Of the five cases which
have been in town, four have happily recovered, and
the only one remaining is near the North Salem line.
Who was it that said, “My dear sou, put not your
trust in doctors”; i.e. in new doctors ? We in Ridge-
field, for three generations, have been physiced and
bled and vaccinated by the Perrys, and we are sure
that for, the fourth generation there will be a fourth
Dr. Perry. Alas! that we should. have believed the
new man, who didn’t know small-pox from “poison."
If we had only heeded the opinion of these wise men
who for three generations have known mir “ consti-
tutions,” there would have been only one case of vu-
rioloid instead of live.

It has been rumored to our horror, good Mr. GA-
zn'r'rn, that the people of Norwalk intend to forbid
the people of Ridgefield coming “ over the borders"
—treatiug us just as the legislature has treated the
cows! Oh! don’t. They say in France that “ good
Americans, when they die, go to Pa—ris." So ill
Ridgefield, our highest idea of happiness is going to
Norwulk. We will promise to be very good and have
no more small-pox.

There is no afllictifll without its uses. So we have
leanlcd two things; first, not to believe ill new doc-
tors; and second, that if this country is ever invaded
by the Mexicans or any other ferocious people, we of
Ridgcfleld, will put ill practice the lines of the fa-
mous Poet :—— A

“ He who fights and runs away,
Will live to tight another day."

. A Terrific Tornado.

One Of the most terrific tornadoes that has
ever visitedthe Western States occurred on
Sunday evening last. It swept over the east-
ern part of 10Wa and northwestern portion of
Illinois, and appears to have taken nearly an
easterly course, from the Mississippi to Rock
river,levelling everything in its way for a
breadth of halfa mile to the ground. It last-
ed only two minutes and a half, but in that
short time was productive of truly harrow-
ing consequences. The towns of Camanche,
Iowa, and Albany, 111., were entirely demol-
ished, the inhabitants being mostly buried in
the ruins of the fallen buildings. In the form-
er place thirty-two dead bodies had been re-
covered, while others remained, which it was

.iinposiblewtu' éitrlcate. In Albany, on the
other side of the river, six persons were kill-
ed and about forty seriously wounded. In
all the town's along the path of tlle tornado,
equal destruction of life and property is re-
ported. Full particulars of this fearful ca-
lamity have not been obtained, but it is al-
ready ccrtaiu that more than 100 lives are
lost, and a, very large number of persons
wounded. F ‘

SENATE—Pro. or by Rev. Mr. udley.

Bill de cattle 'sease called up.

Mr. Brewster spoke in favor of the passage
of the bill. A discussion arose as to the ex-
act position of the bill, and whether it should
be taken up as amended, or eaal ofthe House
amendments separately.

Mr. Stoughton spoke against the bill.—
Three Commissioners were to be appointed
by the Governor, to which he objected. He
concluded by offering a new bill.

Mr. Curtis said this matter had been lon
enough under discussion, the peo le demamgi
action.‘ 'He favored the majority ill, audwas
opposed to further procrastination.

Yeas and nays ordered on the passage of
the bill. .

Mr. Goodwin moved to amend by striking
out the whole bill and illsertiug the minority
bill. ‘
Mr. Paine spoke against the Goodwin bill,
and moved its indefinite postponement,which
was carried. , .

Mr. Mygatt said the subject, was the most
important one of the session, and the action
of the Legislature should be well considered.
He’did not believe there was or had been a
case of the, disease in the State. There was
great excitement throughout the State, and
the passage of the bill would allay it, and the
ultimate expense would probably notbe over
one thousand dollars. ‘

The following resolution, -introduced by
Mr. Hubbard of Middletown, was referred

Resolrod, That the following be proposed as
an amendment to the Constitution of this
State, which, when adopted and approved in
the manner provided by the Constitution,
shall, to all intents and purposes, become a
part thereof, in lieu of Sec. 3d, Art. III, rela-
ting to a qualification of electors, viz:

f lacbprivileges of at} elector sthall be for-

eite y a convictiono bribe , orgery, per-
jury, duelliug, fraudulent bauhnlptcy, theft
or other offences for which an infamous pun-
ishment is inflicted—but the Legislature of
the State shall have power to restore any per-
son whose rights have been forfeited as afore-
said, as fully as though no such conviction
had been had, after a probation of five years

SENATE—Prayer by Rev. Mr. Kcllogig.

Senate resumed consideratiou of bill e cat-
tle disease. Mr. Goodwin offered sundry
amendments, which he deemed important.

Mr. Curtis Opposed the amendment as un-
necessary, and thought the Commissioners
could not badeprivcd of the power to employ
all necessary assistance in discharging their
duties and carry out the objects of the bill.

Mr Brewster said it seemed in ssible to
get a bill which would satisfy , afid the
present bill came nearest to what all de-
sired, and he therefore opposed all amend-
ments. Amendment lost.

Mr. Goodwin said he should vote for the
bill under protest, and stated his" objections
at length.

Mr. Lamb said he was in the same catego-
ry. He should vote for the bill, as it had
been decided that this would be taken and
no other. _

Mr. Stoughtou explained that he voted not
because a bill was in the hands of the J udic-
iary Com; which would be better than this,
and he entered a protest against such ‘ a law.

The bill passed with the followin vote:

wrong in the physical system,‘the.nstural forces of
the bodyare brought to bear to expel the disease.—
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen the natural
powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful
compounders of Dr. J. Hosrnmn’s BrTTnRs, which
operate to give flesh vitality to allothe. organs of the
body. The edect of this medicine upon the stomach.
the liver and the kidneys, are prompt and decisive.—
The patient who is wise enough to quit dragging and
trythe “ Bitters,” soon feels as if he had taken anew
lease of life, and as he cOntinnes the use of the article
he is overjoyed to find the streams of health coursing
through his frame. Let all, from whose cheek the
bloom has departed, give Dr. J. Hostetter’s Celebra-
ted Bitters a trial. ‘

WWhat the New York Ci folks says
of DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED summon.
Manufactured by Fleming Bros. This is to
certify that I am well acquainted with a man
fifty years of age, for many years a resident
of this city, who has been at timesextremely,
ill, but could not tell-from what’cause, unless,
it was worms. He-told his attending physir
man his suspicious, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused to attend him
anhlonger. His son then mentioned Dr.
M’ ne’s Vermifilge and asked him if he
would take it; his reply was—I must take
something to get relief, or die. :

They at once procured a bottle of Dr. M’-
Lanc's Celebrated Vermzfuge, and he took one
half at one dose. The result was, he passed
upwards of three quarts of wanna, cut up in ,
every form. He get well immediately, and
is now enjoying most excellent health; and,
like the good Samaritan of old, is endeavor-
‘ing to relieve his unfortimate neighbors. He
makes it his business to hunt up and select
all cases similar to his own, that may be
given over-b regular physicians'and induces
them to try ,r. M’Lane’s Vermifuge. Sofar‘
he‘ has induced more than twenty persons to
take the Vermifuge, and in every'case with l
the most ha py resu He Ewell-satisfied
that Dr. M’ ne‘s , ifuge, prepared by
Fleming Bros, of sPittsburgh,’is :‘far superior
to any other known remedy, and-that if more
nerally known would not failto save many
valuable lives. For further iculars in-
