H private letter received by one of our Eti-
gems from gentleman in Burlington, we leamiha
E. NJ Bssell, Esquire. was busily engaged irAry-
ing 10 raise an excitement against the Mifrs'
Bank Of Du Buque, and that he had drawn u
RESOLUTION appointing Committee TO come uplnd
Investigate its affairs, which WIS presented by Nr.
Sheldon, and laid over for one day This is .&s-
interested patriotism,'' alias downright mpudelce
in Squire Bssell. The charter requires the boafd
whenever the Legislative Assembly shall require,
to give a statement under oath of its affairs We
know but little of the affairs Of the Bank, but think
il there is any reason to apprehend imposition,
there are watchful citizens enough represent it
to the Assembly, without the interference of this
gentleman, who has not acquired citizenship here
Why don't this same gentleman, if he fears cor
ruption in Banks, go to the Governor of Illinois,
and get him to cali the Legislature together to in
tvestigate the affairs of the ''Expor,ing, Mining
and Manufacturing Company's Bank of llinois!''
The irregularity OF the mails OH the west side of
the Mississippi is truly vexatious all classes of
society, but to none much as to our brethren of
the type and quill We had hoped that ere this the
cause of complaint would have been removed, but
hoped in vain. From gentleman residing down
the river, received an order for the direction of
paper to that place, and request to ssgive DR..
Philleo and his SUBS. few plain words about their
contracts, oaths, &c.'' This we would willingly
do if we thought it would do any good. We are
not much acquainted with the character of the
oath required 10 be taken by contractors, hut we
know that If il binds them TO carry the mail resu-
larry, by any prescribed principle, it has long
since been SO much shattered that no fragment
could be fou nd large enough to bear sting to lhs
scared feelings of the contractor To talk to Amos
Kendall seems to be of little avail. The Post.
master at this place has informed him of divers
failures, yet we never see that he has been fnet
for any. We will hope for better things after the
first Of January, and should be very sorry to see
Mr.. Kendall forfeit the good opinion entertained
of him, by continuing PhilIeo rs contractor.
The author Of the following letter is corec, il
his superstition that our paper has boon regularl,
mailed. We hope our subscribers will bear witt
these troubles till DR.. Philleos contracts expire
| To the Editors of the ssIowa News
GENTLEMEN: am under the painful neces
sity to request discontinuance of your paper
for the only reason that it comes ''like angels
visits, few and far between doubt not bu
it had been regularly mailed there; therefore
in justice, cannot attribute the irregularity
to you, but can easily lay down the whole en-
tire blame at the threshold of Mr.. Contractor
Phileo, who, itappears, lays an embargo up
on the "United States Mail" for reasons hes
known to himself.

sharing with him the perils, the vicissi-

novel scenes into which they were
thrown, and released from the drudgery
of menial occupation, she must have ris-

embarrassment, or perplexing objects Of
curiosity were presented, the superior

became apparent, and her companions
learned to place higher estimation up
on her character, than is usually award

capped from labor, she had leisure to think.
New objects were continually plac-

its latent faculties were excited, and that
beautiful system Of association which
forms the train of rational thought, be-

returning from their daily toll, few pas

round him, was preparing to depart,
when the figure Of an aged man totter-

tention. The old man was meanly clad !;
and, as he leant feebly on his staff, to
take breath after his toilsome ascent, his
glance rested on the person Of the sage
Rabi Abimelech, for it was he who sat
in'the gate distributing his daily aims to
the poor, the hungry, and the wayfarer.

"A few days since, a young lawyer,
whose name we will not mention, came
to this city, from st. Mary's county,
having in his possession sum of money
belonging to his father, and which had
come into his hands in the settlement of
some property entrusted to his CARE
The whole of this sum he lost at the
gaming table. He then applied to va
rious legal gentlemen of his acquaint-
ance, and having succeeded in borrow.
ing a considerable amount from them,
once more madly sought the place Of
his ruin, and once more came forth, hag-
gard, wild, and desperate, without dol
lar of the thousands he had so rashlv and
wickedly staked. He then succeeded in
obtaining six dollars, and with this paltry
sum fled to Washington. Some of those
whom, he had so basely deceived and
wronged, pursued him; and strange as
it may seem, the infatuated young man
was found within the walls of gamb.
ling house. The above facts ought TO
be pondered well by young men. They
