THE MAGIC GROWTH OF THE WEsr.-
Extract Of a letter from gentleman in
Iowa Territory, dated Iowa city, Februa.
ry 8, ls42: 81 have been in this young
City Of the West about nine weeks, du.
ring which time the Legislative Assem-
bly, Of the Territory has been in session,
and will continue in session some two
weeks longer. Two years ago last June
| visited this place, and then on the section
embracing this city there was not a build
ing to be found, save a solitary unfinished
log-cabin. Now there is Stste-House
nearly two thirds completed, at an ex.
pense Of fifty thousand dollars. number
Of fine brick blocks, great many houses
and stores Of every description, and nearly
one thousand inhabitants. The country
around il is beautiful, and as healthy as
any part Of the West, for aught know.
There are physicians, lawyers, preachers,

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH "a, 1912.

MARVELLOUS EsCAPE.-We do not re.
collect when we were more affected by
the recital OF any circumstance, than we
were by one narrated to US the other day.
II appears that boy years Of age, and
the son of DR.. Doe, of this village, a few
days ago, by some accident fell into o
well, the depth Of which was 90 feet and
containing about 7 feet Of water. We
have il from the boys lips, that while 10
the well, he made repeated but Intellectual
calls for help, till perceving that no one
came 10 his assistance he resolved to at.
tempt to extricate himself.
He accordingly drew himself up the
well by placing his hands upon the stones,
which were literally covered with ice, un-
I'll he came 10 within few feet Of the top,
when his hold gave way, and he was a.
gain precipitated TO the bottom. The at
tempt, he tells US, he made the second and
third time with no better success, falling
each time to the bottom ofthe well. Bot
not yet disheartened, he made the fourth
attempt, and succeeded through some mys.
FERROUS means in getting GU! and thus saw
ing his life. We learn that notwithstand.
ing he was so completely exhausted as to
be obliged to make the greatest exertion
to get home, which was but short dis
lance, he is doing well, and nothing fatal
is likely to result from the accident

Mr.. Dickens has visited the President

the calls Of vast number OF citizens and
strangers at his lodging. He has visited
the public Offices to-day, the Patent Of

Pos, Office, and other public institutions.
Monday he is invited to private dinner
with about twenty five gentlemen, EN-.

of the day in the gallery, while the dis

LIFE IN MIssIssiPpI.--A few days ago,
Mr.. Besancon, formerly editor Of the
Natchez Free Trader, and now mem.
Der Of the Mississippi House Of Represen-
tatives, challenged Mr.. Patrick w. Temp
kns, also member of the House. MIR.
Tompkns accepted the challenge, but, at
the last dates from Jackson, the time,
place, weapons, and distance had not been
named.
1t appears that Besancon's challenge
was rst borne to Mr. Tompkins by the
notorious James S. Fall, ex-Locofoco . d..
i,or, who approached Mr.. Tompkins in
his seat and said he wished to see hun
privately. Mr.. Tompkins Instantly re-
piled that he should hold no conversation
with him upon any subject or at any time.
| Fall then said he had a communication in
writing 10 hand TO him, and attempted TO
hand the same. Mr.. Tompkins replied
he should receive no communication from
him, and would no, have dealings Of any
kind whatsoever with him. Fall then
walked off, and soon afterwards he and
three of his friends took their stand on the
public square, with arms; intending, as
was supposed, 10 attack Mr.. Tompkns
on his leaving the House. Some of Mr..
It's friends thereupon furnished him with
arms, and he walked TO dinner with
double barrelled shot gun in his hand.
Falls party, when they saw this sight,
raised loud cry of "shot gun !" and
Fall then declared that he was merely
acting on the defensive.
Besancon's challenge was subsequently
borne to Tompkins, we presume, by some
other person. Louis. Jour.
FATAL DUEL.-We understand, says

since, the latter of whom was challenged
by the former through J. S. Fall, the re.
porter for the Vickshurg Sentinel, and re-.

the challenger and bearer, and after wards
assumed by Col. Cook, and accepted, re-
suited in the parties meeting opposite

ANOTHER INVOCATION FOR HELP FROM
THE TREAsURy.-On Tuesday last, n
message from the President was received
by the House Of Representatives, with a
document from the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, setting forth: l. That the deficits
OF the Treasury, under existing provisions
for March. April, and May, will be S3.-
a54,6S6 AZ. 2. Recommending, hypoth-
etically, or cautiously suggesting an in.
crease Of the loan already authorised, so
as TO absorb the Treasury Notes that may
be outstanding at the end of the year.
3. Recommending an extension Of the
loans to IL years.
These suggestions, or recommendations,
were received by the House with strong
marks of disapproba,on, not that the Pre-
sident was to blame for making them
las something must be done but against
this course in lieu Of proriding rerenue.
# was manifest by the temper OF the House
on this occasion. that they would not con.
sent TO go further into .hese temporary
shifts, till something were done to raise an
adequate revenue.
