IOWA LEGISLATURE.

The Iowa Territorial Legislature will
commence its second annual session in
this city on Monday next, at which time
the Governors Message will probably be
delivered. We are not aware of any We
ry extraordinary measure being brought
before them at the commencement Of their
meeting. Of course, the most interesting
topic to us will be the disposition that is
made of the Public Printing. We have
RETAINED from resorting to those little arts
which are frequently employed to influ.
ence Legislators under such circumstan.
ces, believing that when they were once
on the ground they would have sufficient
intelligence and discernment to discover
whether or not we were deserving their
patronage. We have never, asked for
more than share ofa,he public printing,
and we believe the members will be so
obliging as to, give us a portion, notwith-
standing the stale efforts that are already
being made to prevent it. If they do it,
we take this opportunity OF assuring them
that we shall never be ungratefuz for their
kindness We shall be fully prepared to
do all they will give us in prompt and
workmanlike manner.

banks in atiording facilities to merchants
Jas they have been ins the habit Of doing,
and thus tempting Them 10 extend their
business 20 become wholesale dealers
and import large quantities Of goods from
England which are not actually needed.
Until this is done there is no security
against Bank suspensions becoming peri
odical in this Country. II appearstto US
that the importing business has been car
ried on to an extent, which, if persisted
in, will entail upon this country lasting
dependence on Great Britain-discoeurage
the home manafacturer--keep the ,curren-
cy of the country in q deranged state and
lower us in the esteem OF other nations.
While the Banks have so many apollo
gists the above crude remarks may be
considered almost heretical. They may
even be considered to have too much, of a
stripe Of loco focoism in their compost
ton. We cannot help that. They are
the simple Impressions made upon our
mind in consequence of the action of the
Banks in again refusing to pay specie for
their notes.

|. We received no papers from Mobile by,
the mail Of yesterday. From private let
tiers and the statemeuts=of passengers, we
learn, that OH the night OF Wednesday an
other FIRE broke out, in section of the CT
tyt some distance from The burning of Tues.
day. A whole square was consumed on
the south side of Government street, boun.
Eded by franklin and Church Streets
Among the ediices consumed were the
new Theatre. a Church Supposed TO be
the old Presbyterian Church,) and many
splendid private residences. Passengers
state, that when the boat left, the conha-
grafton was still going forward. The FIRE.
men and citizens generally were so COM
pletely worn down by fatigue, that they
were unable to offer any resistance to the
devasling element No information is
communicated relative to the detection OF
the internal incendiaries: it is not intirnat-
ed that any particular class of persons is
suspected. Nothing is said either abou,
the circumstances reported yesterday. thai
one of the incendiaries had been caught in
the act ofsetting fire to house.
Perhaps the CONSERVATION and .confu
sion which prevailed has prevented the
communication of more certain intelli
gence, or the citi ems may have kept their
suspicious secret. for the purpose of more
Iefectually detecting the guilty persons
At present ,impenetrab!e mystery shrouds
the henious transaction: it is to be hoped
that the vigilance Of the police will no.
permit the demons to escape the punish
nlent due to their crimes. The perpetra
ton of deeds of such fearful atrocity, amid
a population, quiet, amiable, intelligent,
educated and religious, like that of Ala.
bama, is enoughIto spread panic through
this whole section of country. And We
anxlously enquire where do these fend.

Instruction inthe Penitentiary at Al.
ton.-Mr. Buckmaster, Warden of the
Prison, was attacked by one Of the pris.
oners, named Bolster, on the 18th inst
who it afterwards appeared was at the
head Of conspiracy in an attempt to re.
gain their forfeited liberty. Bolster wres.
ted cane from the Warden, and was on.
ly kept from injuring him by the interfe.
renee of negro prisoner. Bolster i'm.
mediately ran to the yard where the other
prisoners were at work. The Warden
ordered the prisoners to assist him in Sc.
curing Bolster, but they all refused, al
the same time the ringleader made towards
the Warden, with the apparent intention
of injuring him, upon which the Warden
drew a pistol and shot him dead on the
spot. A jury afterwards unanimously
exonerated the officer from all charge of
blame.

BORDER TROUBLES.

/ The last Gazette contains most re-
markable document, headed by a little
cherub blowing. a trumpet with scroll
entitled Postscript on its back, and signed
by w. W. Chapman. / 1t contains an ac
count of a tour made by the writer across
the disputed Territory into Missouri, ir
order to act as Pacifcaior between the
Counties Of Clark, Mo. and Van Buren,
!. T. We have no doubt that Mr.. G. had
the best intentions but in the absence ol
any commission from the Executive OF
this Territory or Instructions from the
Government Of the U. =. it looks rather
queer to see him thus attempt, on his
own hook, to put a stop to the warlike
movements of these belligerent parties.
1t appears that the people of Clark Goun-
ty held a meeting at his suggestion, at
which a committee was appointed to pro-
pose compromise with the citizens. of
Van Buren,, so that all hostilities might be
stayed until the meeting of Congress.
The whole proceedings were conducted
as if each county was little sovereign
state, acting on its reserved rights. Sew
eral spreposterous propositions we're made
BY the citizens Of CLARK County and as
they insisted upon claiming concurrent
Jurisdiction with our citizens Of Van Blu.
rem County over the disputed Territory,
all this attempt at paciication was broken
off by the promptsrefusal of the citizens
of Van Buren, to accede to these PROPOSE
tons. We fear this attemp: at pacifca-
ton has already left the impression on our
neighbors across the border, that the Ex-
ecutive and people Of this Territory are
undecided in regard to the only correct
way in which this controversy should be
decided, when nothing is farther from the
truth. We learn that Gen. Allen Of the
Clark Go. militia made a flaming speech to
his men when he found their proposition
was rejected, with an intimation that he
would be on the ground again on Friday
next. We learn further that Adj, Gen.
Van Antwerp has been commissioned by
the Governor, and left town yesterday.
to see what he can do in bringing this
farcical business toa close. An Express
has also been sent to F. Gehon, Esq, u.
;. Mar. Marshall for this. Territory, to come
down and set matters. to rights.
There is rumor in town that the Mis-
sourlans have burnt a house in Van Blu.
rem County, and that two children perish.
ed in the flames. We can hardly believe
this. Ifiitshould prove true, fearful con.
. sequences may be anticipated; -and, un.
less Gov. Boggs hands over the perpe,ra-
tors to justice, nothing viii restrain our
citizens in Van Buren, from taking sum
mary vengeance.

s'ttauunch, fast sailing and tidy ferry boa,
''yclept ''Shokoquon," in honor of the orr

built in Louisville and is owned by Messrs
Webb and Mauro, who had her con.
structed at an expense of about 81 900 ex.
pressly to run between this place and the
opposite shore. The establishment of this
new Ferry will doubtless be great ac-
commodation to the public, whatever i,
may be to her proprietors. This compe-
tition has already induced the proprietors
of the old ferry to reduce their fare to a
mere nominal sum, and we shall not be
surprised to learn that bonus will soon
be offered to all those who will consent
to cross the Mississippi at this place.
