p%ropriety of the Eady's BOOK. We may

Fort Madison.

We visited this town on Friday last. Very few
towns on the river can present steadier or more
healthy growth than Fort Madison. The numerous
brick stores and dwellings that have been erected
character and speak well for the enterprise Of the
town. They may we'll be proud oil the landlord Of
the Eagle Hotel. He is one of those read about,
but scarcely ever see. He sets capital table, and
almost weeps when his boarders don't eat with
appetite. Every thing in the house is kept neat
and tidy. and when Stripe--that's his name-has
leisure, he takes delight in amusing and instruct
ing his friends in the relation of the richest kind Of
anecdotes. Stripe would be popular as landlord
any where.
The Court was and still is in session in Fl Mad
ison. Several muIderers, horse thieves and coun-
terfeiters were awaiting their trials. Two Of the
rioters who were engaged in the Ross excitement,
have been finc; but owing to two being on the jul
ry, who it is said were engaged in the same bust.
ness. fun justice not done to the rioters. One
man was tried last week for selling liquor without
license and fined fifty dollars and costs, in ac.
diion to having been imprisoned ten days.
The Temperance cause is in good repute in Fort
Madison, and the authorities were preparing pc
,tion to the Legislature. asking for the passage of
law that will prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks and make the traffic a Penitentiary offence.

Mount Auburn.

We visited this lovely abode Of the dead, during
our late visit to Boston. In conversation with a
gentleman who had twice visited the wor,d-re
nowned Pere Ia Chaise, near Paris. it was his i'm.
preston that Of the two, Mount Auburn was much
the most picturesque and beautiful. Some Of the
monuments in Mount Auburn are among the most
exquisite stasua'y tn te found in the world. Two
ofthem, belonging to Amos Binnpy and brother,
cost several thousand dollars each. They were
executed hy the best artists in Europe. One rep
resents child about six years old, lying as If
asleep. The inaentation on the couch and pillow,
the folds Of her Dress the turn Of her little feet, in
fact every thing about it, is so exquisitly carved
from the pure white marble, as to make the whole
appear quite life-like. The other is large monu.
ment Of white marble, on each side Of which is
carved beautiful female, both in the habilimen,s
OF mourning. Covering nearly third Of the mon.
ament IS thrown pure white pail. The folds of
nus pail or mantle are so nicely carved as to al

Thc Rapids.

Would it not be well for the Committee, who
were appointed last season at the Rapids Conven-
ton at Davenport to carry out the objects OF their
appointment. by embed, ing the statistics they have
already received and soliciting more from towns
on the river that have not forwarded them. in Re-
port, with a suitable Memorial to Congress. and
have the same printed and sent on to Washington?
Such q movement. we think, is called for. and
would save the trouble and expense OF anotherCon-
vention. The money raised for shs printing is still
in the hands OF MIR SANDERS of Davenport, and
should be appropriated in accordance with the de-
sign and wishes Of those who contributedit. What
say Messrs JOHNSTON ard STARR, who are on the
committee to make the Report?

Hon. DANIEL F. MrLLER.-We visited this gen.
teman a lew days since at his residence in Fort
Madison. He was considered convalescent, al
though for ten days previous, his life despair

Washington in at least ten days after the COM
mencement ofthe session. No man is more de-
CRYING Of being the standard bearer Of the whig
party in Iowa than d. r. Miller. His energy, un-
firing industry, and tact in bringing TO light and
justice, too; the iniquity Of the stolen poll book
fair, entitle him to the praise and support Of all
lovers offree institutions. HIS chief effort after
he reaches Washington will lie to obtain an ade-
quate appropriation Cor the Of hstrucions

From the KeOsauoua JrtferSOnian.

THE HAwK-EyE comes very generously to our
aid in efforts to awaken proper feeling in re-
grid TO our river lmpro, ement and tenders us its
sympathy and aid.
The Hark- Eye suggests a reduction Of the mini
price OF the lands from 81 IS to, say 90 cents
that is in fast about what the u s. selling at
taking into account the discount on land warrants,
&c. There is no necessity for that. friend Hank,
the land will all sell at 81 IS. But, here is the
ditic ulty. neither at that price, nor at 90 cents
even, would the land in the grant below the forks
sell fast enough To admit oi an economical invest.
ment Of it. because, the expenses Of conducting
the work being large. they neatly exhaust the in
come. Say il takes thi,iy thousand tn complete a
certain job. that could tie accomplished in one
year, and You have $4,000 on hand, and your eN-
penses $4,000. In one year your work is
completed. But suppose your funds Come in at
the rate of IS oooa year, your expenses continuing
the same. when would your work lie done ?-and
what kini OF IN anagement would that be? 1t would
take half million to 10 $4,000 job. "A fool
as gross ignorance made drunk' would not
manage thus. And yet such is the principle upon
which the work On the Des Moincs is at present
being conducted, and the proceeds Of lands filter
ed away tn pay company of men tn supeiintend
and distribute them rm"Dg themselves. We al
tach blame Il, the Beard. nor to the necessary
oiirers n,dtr them, bui the law that directs their
action is fraud upon the people of the alley, and

All we ask is the privilege OF using the grant TO

And. we ask, is THIS unreasonable? And shall
