Death or Lieut.. Edward Eastman.

Death OF Lieut.. Edward Eastman.
The citiz ems Of our town end viciaity
will read with deep interest the sDllowing
account Of the death Of this gallant 7sofilcsr,
taken from the Nashville Union. Lisut.
Eastman was printer antI was burner y
employed in this Office. During his resi-
dence here he won the universal respect
and esteem Of this community, by whom
his untimely death will be ss universally
lamented. Tho Eulogy Of The Nashville
Union is well merited tribute TO the
memory Of tina departed citizen sol1ier:
De,th Of Lieut.. E. Eosfn,an. 1T is with
feelings Of the deepest soraow that we
announce the death Of this brave and gal
liant soldier. He died on the 25th Of Oc-
tober at Canargo, where he had been de-
tanned to take care Of the sick belonging
to the LIST Regiment Tennessee Volun-
teers. Lieut.. E., BY his assiduous at.en-
tion TO the afflicted and suffering soldiers
his uncensing efforts to soothe their
spirits and relieve their distresses, and
his uniform kindness and goodness OF
heart, had won the universal respect and
esteem of all his acquaintance. Per-
haps no man, either officer or private, in
the army, possessed stronger hold on
the Affections and warm and sympathetic
feelings Of his immediate acquaintance
and companions in arms THAI he did
We have heard the parents and friends
Of the poor boys who fell victims to the
insaluhrions climate at Camargo, express
with the deepest sensibility their graft
tude 10 him for his unwearied attert,on ia
them when sick, and for his unremiting
care in the adjustment Of their worldly
affairs after death had taken them away.
Although it was not his fortune to min
gle in The deadly strife at tho taking Of
Monterey. yet evidences Of his valor
were not wanting 70 his companions,
which showed clearly that he possessed
the nerve and the spirit Of true and
brave soldier. We knew Lieut.. East
man in private life. and knew him to be an
Honorable, highninded. upright, consci-
eatious and respected citizen. He was
printer and worked in this office for sew.
cral months previous 10 his departure for
the seat Of war.
While attempting to ward offthe swift
winged arrow Of death that was aimed at
his companions, he himself received the
fatal shaft into his own bosom.
He was worthy son Of the old Gran
tie State, but residing in our city when
the bugle called our citizen soldiers to
arms, he was among the first to respond
10 the call, and was elected Cd Lieuten-
ant otthe Nashville Blues.

The General Assembly.

Both Houses met ON Monday at two

In the Senate, after the presentation of
few petitions, message from the House
announced that that body had passed
joint resolution that the members and off
GERS Of the two Houses wear the usual

Of MIR. Conlee. Ths resolution was con.
Cured in; and the Senate then adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Cochran announced
the death Of Mr.. Conlee, late member of
that body; and, upon his motion, com
mi,tee of three was appointed TO address
letter of coincidence to the widow and
family Of the deceased. A joint resolution
that the members and officers ofthe Senate
and House Of Representatives wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days,
was adopted: and the House then ad-
journed until Tuesday morning.
For the Reporter.
Mn. EpIron:
l perceive by the published pro-
ceedings Of orr Legislature that a variety
of plans have been proposed for uniting
county ,fhces, in order to reduce the
county expenses; all of which think OBJ
jectionable. The proposition to unite the
offices Of sheriff treasurer and collector,
most certainly is, as the sheriff aid his
deputy must necessarily be frequently alb
sent from the county seat, on official bust
ness, and must also be engaged during
court, when many of the farmers wish to
pay taxes.
The reduction of the sheriff's fees can
bring 5u, little into the county treasury,
and any person residing at the county
seat, can discharge the duties of the Offices
OF treasurer and collector for as small fees
as the sheriff could, if you gave him those
ofices--as The duties Of said offices are
attended with little trouble or expense.
The same may be said Of uniting the
offices OF clerk of the board Of county
commits toner's and recorder. The recor
der receives his pay from those employ
ing him, and the reduction of his fees,
would be TO advantage to the county
treasury.
1t would seem to me that better plan
would be to unite the offices OF clerk Of
the district court and clerk Of the board Of
county commissioners. Then reduce the
fees Of both, as both are high-e>pecially
those Of clerk of the district court.
hope they will not reduce the fees of
the CORONER.

a. The editor Of the Bloomington Her
aid has essentially used up Mr.. Polk. He
has proved that he is nothing Lu, q third
or fourth rate lawyer, and that his message
would disgrace common school boy.
This, then, we suppose, is the reason why
he declines publishing that document. Il
is not fit to appear in print, especially in
such an important journal as The BLOOM
inglon Herald. II is thought, if Mr. Polk
could have forcseen that in the course of
human events this omnific genius from
the Hoosicr and the Wolverine States
would plant himself on the banks of the
Mississippi river, there to WELD such
tremendous engine against his administra,
ton, that he would have paused and re-
Elected very seriously upon the proprie,y
Of accepting the Presidential chair. But
having, without proper reflection, taken a
step whereby he has encountered such a
formidable adversary, he mus, summon
the necessary fortitude TO endure the shock
produced by collision with this intel
lectual giant. We hope that he will not
think Of sending Mr.. Polk copy of his
last paper; for the probability is, that he
would resign instan'er, and HE himto ",he

Desaaotnes River AppropftaaSA ~
Our readers viii rejoice N learn fsom'
the following letters, that the doubts which
have been entertained with regard to the
grant q land for tie Improvement Ofthe
Dssmoinss river, we're unioundsd. Itwas
maintained By some, that bv The provisions
ofthe law donating 500 900 acres ofland to
each state, the amount Of lands donated TO
Iowa BY : late act Of Congress, would be
deducted fIom The soc, 900 allotted to her
By the former act. By, this construction,
the grant for the improvement Of the Des-
moines, was in fact, no grant at all. We
are glad that the Secretary Of the Treasu-
y has 90 promptly settled this question,
because i removes every obstacle 10 the
establishment Of such . system BY our
present General Assembly, as will insure
The speedy completion # the contemp plated
Improvement. The lands donated for this
purpose are highly valuable, both on ac-
count Of their locality and the character Of
the soil. Being each alternate section on
both sides Of the river, distance Of some
300 miles, } they are more than amply suf
ficieit to put that stream in navigable
condition IS high up as the Raccoon Fork,
for the largest class Of steam boats.
