This Gentleman was in our city yesterday, on his return from Cairo, whither he had been since the adjournment of the Legislature, attending to the wants of the Iowa Soldiers, in providing for the wounded, etc. The extraordinary rise in the Iowa river has washed away the Governor’s property and greatly injured him, financially, but amid the multiplicity of State cares resting on him, he has had to entirely neglect his private matters. He left for his home yesterday morning.
