TO LANDNOLDERS
IN ILLINOIS.

N order that you may be enabled to secure
Il the advantages of the law passed by the
legislature of this state, at its late session, we
hasten to give publicity to the following state.
ment of its contents.
Persons whose lands, &c. have been sold for
taxes, may redeem them prior TO the first Of ia.
nnary 'iet, by paying the taxes at the rate list
ed. the costs which have accrued, and SIX per
cent. interest, from the time the taxes became
due, to the time of payment.
Persons who have already redeemed their
lands, &c. by paying 100 per cent. on the tri-
pie tax and COSTS are entitled to credit for
all over the single tax, COSTS and interest, to
be applied to the payment Of future taxes.
When non-residents have paid the taxes in
the county where the lands are situated and
they have been sold for taxes, the Auditor re-
deems the land, and receipts for the taxes paid.
Those who have redeemed their land from
sale by paying triple tax and costs to the She
riff, are entitled to credit, as in the case of
those who have redeemed after the sale.
When persons have not paid their taxes and
the land has not been sold, the single tax and
interest only will be charged, if paid before
the 1st of January next.
We would attend to the payment of taxes,
the redemption of lands sold, and any other
business that may be confidcd to us, either in

THE EWILDERED TRAVELLERS.
+" The Fam commands the song.'
Wild was the storm, and dark the night,
And chilling was the rain
The thunder roll'd in awful peals.
The Lightning CLEANED! and o'er the hills
The wolves, as in alright,
Pour'd their long howls the thundcr's peals
betweeni
Nofriendly she'd
Secured us from the peltng storm,
The cold wet ground our bed,
Nor food, nor fire to warm!
And many weary mile that day
Had we pursued our devious way,
Ger a vast trackless wild,
No sun has cheered our eyes,
No star appeared to mark or course,
Yet oft in sweet discourse
The tedious hours we beguilel,
And present sufferngs fee, as Fancy's visions
rise
Fair Alva's gentle mein
And soul-lhlmined eyes
Sparkling with love--;md yet serene
As summer evening calm, unruifled hour!
And scft melodous notes that rise
IN sacred song, with Notwithstanding power,
Yet charms Of face,
And melody of voice,
In our choice
Were far exceled by intellectual grace,
And modest, unaffected, cheerfuIness
"These charms" thought each-nor hid the
thought
(While halt-breathcd signs
Unbidden rise)
"Pest is the man whose happy lot
cit is, TO call them all his own.
" may is heart beat still in unison'
"Nor Ter implant ranking thorn!
Never may cold neglect nor cruel scorn,
"Nor passion wild, hor brooding care perplex
"1he partner of the loveliest Of her sex
&" May mutual love, and mutual kindness flow
"Who'er he be that ALvA blesses
with chaste caresses,
go may his heart, like hers, be gentle, warm,
and true,
Such themes had served to cheer our lonely
And almost unperceived, the til close of day
Came on, and found us far from n1au's abode 3;
Nor chart nor compass showed
Us whittier we had strayed
But slumbcr nov o'ertook my weary friend
Ne, contemplation lends her soothing aid,
And low bend
In solemn awe of Him who rules the storm;
For He alone can save from harm,
And oft His mercy hath appeared,
When saving HIS, eye saw not, nor car heard !!
Sure, while all nature seems in angry mood
Above-the storm! beneath-the swelling
flood
Around-the wolves in savage howl
Conspirlng to disiga1
The christians soul
Enjoys sweet peace, and night transforms TO
day.

the movement should be fxed as both
the contractor and the government had
acquired such a knowledge of the SUBJ

of certainty, to which the contractor as
scented; and the rate was fixed at eight
cents per ID TO the Council Bluffs.

when it is, die account will be found to
