DUBUQUE:
Recommendations 2, 1850.

FUNERAL oBsEqUIEs in honor of the late Pre-
sident have been performed, without distinction
of party, throughout the United States.
The virtue of the people is manifested in this
union of sentiment in honoring the memory of
the dead. He who said that 'the grave buries
every error, covers every Defect spoke in ap.
propriate language of the present time; for new
er before was the language more adapted to the
occasion. The errors and defects of President
Taylor are forgiven; and, except in such cases
which requires that truth should be vindicatcd by
their refutal and condemnation-they will be
forgotten. No man will 60 behind his actions
to seek for unworthy motives as the subjective
cause of his promptings The object and the
means of attaining it, may not have been the best
for the times and circumstanccs-but the mo-
tives which impelled General Taylor in his
measures must have been good. His errors must
have been of the head, and not Of the heart:

tY7A new locomotive to be used in conveying
the cars through streets, has been successful
tested in New York. 1t consumes it's own
smoke, has four wheels on each side, and two
drivers in the middle. The entire machinery is

appears the same car, and is so arranged
that the engineer can check its speed almost in

Overland ElniSrants Through!

| The San Francisco Herald of the 18th June,
gives the following information of the Fun of
this springs line of Emigrants. We are rejoic-
ed to hear of their safe and speedy transit.
ga gentleman who came down from Weav-
ervlle, states that about 40 emigrants arrived at
that place, who have come from Missouri this
spring by the Carson route. This party left In
dependence about the first of April, and came
with pack mules. After they had been on their
journey about ten days, they passed some six
hundred teams, which had started on the journey
before them. In crossing the mountains, the
company often found the snow from fifteen to
thirty feet deep, but it was SO closely packed
that mules feet only made slight impression
on it.
The company arrived are all in good health;
and it appears that they chose the best season to
perform their journey. The animals are report
ed in good condition, and generally have been in
good grazing. This accounts for the short time
spent on the way. The average distance passed
over per diem, is over thirty miles.

Correspondence of the Republican.
FoRT LARAMIE, July 1st, 1850
For few days past the emigration has very
scnsibly diminished, but still the road is throng-
ed, anda large crowd yet behind. Upto last
evening the number of names registered at this
place was 80 ,312. The number of wagons S,773
Making small allowance for those who have
not put down! their names we shall have about
10000 for the number of those who have passed
this point.
The leading trains passed here two months
since, and must now be in the vicinity of Sacra-
mento. Between that point and this, there is
one continuous line Of gold diggers dragging it's
slow length towards the Pacific. From the
scarcity of provisions amongst many of the emf
grants, there can be but little doubt that the suf.
ferng will be frightful in the California noun
tains. Government should push forward from
California supplies to relieve those who started
on 1900 miles journey with provisions for
1900.
The sickness this season has been much more
fatal than it was last A gentleman just from
the frontier, states that he counted no less than
six hundred and forty five new graves along side
the road. The troops are quite healthy, but
many emigrants have been left here in dying
state, and consequently the mortality has been
great. Most Of the sickness has been produced
by inattention to diet, want of proper clothing,
and drinking stagnant water.
An express is Just in from Fort Hail with the
news that Col. Porter, with his squadron o.

Lawrence Divorce Case.

This case, extraordinary in its character and
peculiar in its circumstances, has attracted the
attention and enlisted the sympathies Of the pub
lie in favor of one or other Of the contending
parties. The divorce itself was obtained, it
seems, without giving Mr.. Lawrance any notice
of the suit about to be instituted, and consequent
ly no defence was made by him. Now, howev-
cr, he defends himself against the criticism of
some, and the animadversions of others, by pub
fishing to the world the correspondence between
his wife and her friends, which proves beyond
question that his wife was "spoilcd child,' and
that her mother was rather more Of the termu.
giant than good woman should be.
Some of the large daily papers are ministering
to the morbid appetite of the public, by publish.
ing this farrago of family gossip, to the exclusion
of something more useful. Such conduct de.
serves little encoura cement

A TIGHT seUEEsE.-Thc nomination of Tom
Coraoin Secretary of the Treasury-alike in
sulting to the South and repugnant to the Pat
riotic feelings of every true American, met, as it
deserved to do, very cold reception in the
Senate, 1t was most bitterly opposed and final
ly passed by the retiring Of Senators.
We are sorry we have some men in the U. S.

ofpropriety and right would dictate. We should
like to see the vote on the confirmation of Tom

The New Cabinet.

Itmight be expected that we should give our
opinion upon the appointments made by Prcs-
dent Fillmore to his council, and lest we might
dsappoint the expectation of our readers, we
proceed to give our opinion briefly upon this,
now important subject.
Mr. Webster, as Secretary of State, meets
with our appreciation, since Wing must fill that
office. With all his faults, he has a weight of
character, and an established reputation, the e.
quail of which few men in the country possess
This, together with his being committed for the
''compromise'' makes him acceptable. With
Mr. CoRw1N's fitness for the Treasury Depart
ment, we are ignorant. He has not been much
distinguished as financier nor does his rela-
ton to the "compromisc' entitlc him to our cs-
tecm. His speech against the Mexican war, in
which he hoped that our troops would find "hos-
pitable graves gives him but little title to the
respect of an American citizen, and our opinion
is, that his appointment to the Treasury bench
will not be received cordially by his country
men.
Mr.. BATES, of Mo-, is 4 moderate intelligent
man, and would have made good Attorney Ge-
neral. His fitness for the War Department, we
much question; but would be glad (he being a
Western man, that he possessed the requisite
qualifications.
With Mr.. GRAHAM, Of the Navy Department,
we have not much acquaintance, but take him
to be kind of neutrality between the extreme
North and South.
Mr.. CnITTENDEN, as Attorney General, will
do He should have been placed where Mr.
Bates is, and the latter taken the Attorney Ge-
neralship
The new P. M. General, Mr.. HALE, is very
little known out of his own State The Presi-
dent must have been acquainted with his abili-
| ties for the station, presume-though no one
else is. We have no sympathy for the removal
of old jacob, nor, indeed, have we any for his
colleagues. OF the present cabinet, Messrs
Webster, Bates and Crttendcn, are men of emf
nent ability, as lawyers and statesmen.
Whatever Mr., Corwin's ability may be, it is
darlzened by his unpatriotic opposition to the
last war. He can never please his countrymen
by any efforts Of his.
We hope the new Cabinet will keep clear OF
the rocks and shoals on which their predeces-
sors were shipwrecked.

THE FIRE AT SAN FRANc1sco.-We have
already noticed the extensive confagration which
took place at San Francisco on the 18th of June,
the particulars Of which reached us few days
since. The fire occurred in the most thriving
and wealthy portion of the city, and property to
the amount of Fire Millions Of Dollars Destroy
ed in few hours.
This disaster, it would seem, following as it
does upon the footsteps of the great fire of the
9th of May, would tend greatly to PROSTATE the
business operation of this magic City, No other
city could so soon rise above the effects of these
repeated disasters.
The San Francisco Herald says:
''We rejoice to be able to state that the en-
tcrprisc of our citizens, although it has received
severe check by the fire Of Friday last, has,
nevertheless, not succumbed beneath the mis-
fortune. In passing through the still-blazing
streets, one hour and a half after the fire had
been subdued, we saw carpenters busily employ
ed re-layng the foundation of building that
had been torn down but two hours before; and
various contracts to have buildings Immediately
erected had been even then concluded, by some
of those who suffered heavily by the fre-so in
defatigable is the enterprise OF our citizens.'

Horrible Affair in Clayton County!.


On Monday of last week, Mr. John Gould,
residing about three miles from Elkader, in
Clayton county, was killed by Asa w. Clifford,
a near neighbor to Mr.. Gould, under the follow
ing circumstances, as we learn them from ci
tizen of that county.
Gould had lately entered piece of land, on
which Clifford had made some improvements,
and was about stalking it off preparatory to fenc.
ing, when Clifford ordered him to leave the pre-
misses. This Gould refused to do Angry words
passed between them, when Clifford drew up his
rifle and shot him dead upon the glound
An examination was had before H. Singer,
Esq, Justice of the Peace, when it appeared in
testimony that Clifford had left his house in COM
pany with several hands, for the purpose of cut
ting wheat on the disputed premises, and recol-
lecting that Gould might possibly be the
ground, he had gone back for his gun. 1t also
appeared that Clifford had previously said he
would shoot Gould, if he entered his land They
were standing some FIVE rods apart when he
shot.
The result of the legal examination was, that
Clifford was admitted to bail on giving bond for
the sum of $2,O00-hs son, son-n-law and bro
thcr going his security.
Clifford and Gould were both from the State
of New York, and had resided in Clayton coun
ty, the former about eleven years, and the latter
some five or six years. They both have fami-
lies.

PAc1r1c SrEAMERs.-The new steamer Co.
lumbus arrived at Panama, from San Francisco,
on the 9th July, being her first trip down. She
went up in 49, days,-the time usually occupi-
ed is 20. She belongs to the line of Geo. Law
g. Co., and bids fair to become one of the most
popular boats on the Pacific. She brought news
up to the 18th of June, which is the latest re-
ceived. The Crescent City makes the trip from
New York to Chagres, in about days; SO that
without accident; or unforeseen detention, the
Journey from New York to San Francisco can
be completed in about one month.

DONATIONS OF LAND The Senate have pass.
ed another donation bill, giving to the State OF
Michigan strip of land, to aid in the construc-
ton of Canal Rail Road, (as the Leglsla-
tnrc may choose> from Rochester to the waters
of Lake Michigan.
We long to see some action, in the House, up
on these donation bills, upon which the develop
ment and rapid settlement of the West so much
depends.
The Bill for the two favorite schemes for To-.
wa Internal improvements, still rests in the
hands fthe House Committee, notwithstanding
Mr.. Lcfiier wrote some time since, that they had
resolved to report favorably thereupon.
The Illinois Central Rail Road bill, which
provides us with an Eastern Road, from Du-
buquc to Galcna, and indirectly to Chicago, is
Baker, the War; Horse member from the Galcna
District of Illinois,
This man, with the selfish jealousy, which has
characterized all his acts, has hitherto prevent
ed this bill from coming before the House, simp-
ly because it contains a clause extending the
road to Dubuque.
Twice or three times, when the Bill has been
called for, Baker, a member of the Committee
on public lands, has made it convenient to be
absent, with the bill in his pocket; aud many
have asserted that he has sworn to defeat the
bill entirely rather than suffer the road to be
extended to the Mississippi River, opposite Du-
buque!
This is the Baker whom the Whigs of Io,cn
cherished with so much tenderness, and Worship
cd with much devotion during the campaign
of 1S4S a-.-
