EXPEDITION AGAINST SoNoRA.-The pratt
cal expedition having for its object the subjuga-
ton of the Mexican province of Sonora has prov
cd a complete abortion. Ii appears that the ma
randing party sailed from st Diego with the in
tent!on OF landing at Mazatlan, but the leaders
got into debt and difficulty, general quarrel en-
sued and the expedition was abandoned. 1t is
said: however, that this is only the beginning of
the ead-that the Governor of Sonora is in the
pot aud viii do his best to throw the provinces
into the hands of the Americans. and that before
the fall is over, both Sonora and Lower Califor-
MIA win be in the hands of desperadoes from the
United States.
1t is probable that the movement of these law
less men, furnish the true key. to the arbitrary
policy of the Mexican Government in relation to
our countrymen on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
A distinction should be made however, between
our engineers and workmen on the Isthm,ls pro-
tected by treaty, and the pirates who propose to
hold by force of arms an integral portion of the
Mexican Republic

lac table does not show the population of the
county nor the number of acres of land. II will
DC seen that the personal property is about II per
cent. of the real estate, while in Des Moines co.
the personal property assessed is only % per cent
OF the real estate.
we shoaid like very mach to know the average
assessment Of land per acre throughout the state:
ana II 'he newspapers IN each county would take
the pains to ascertain and publish the statistics of
the county, as returned by the several sheriffs,
they would be gratifying a laudable curiosity, as
wei! as rendering an essential service to the pub
lie. We should like to see comparison made of
the assessors returns in every county in the state
Such comparison would Serve to show the rel
atve assessed value of real and personal estates
IN each county, and the rate per acre at which
land is assessed, with other matters of interest
aaa Importance. For instance. the money and
credits OF Louisa county are assessed at SIS. 900
while IN Desmoines county with three times the
population, the money and credits are assessed at
only SI6,325. So in regard to the relative amoun,
OF real and personal estate in each county-ifwe
take Louisa county as criterion, either real es-
tate IN Des MONIES county is assessed too high
orpersonal estate too low. Under the new cole.
there is provided at the scat of government.
census board, whose duty it is to elaalize the
rate OF assessment on real estate in the different
counties, when they are satisfied that the scale of
valuation has not been adjusted with uniformity
by the assessors. This board is composed of the
Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, and Treas
urer, and they have the power either to change
the assessment, or vary the rate of taxation in any
OF the counties. This applies only, however, to
the state tax; no power is girer them over coun-
ty taxation, nor do we believe that the code pro-
s'des any remedy that will operate efficiently and
successfully in correcting defective and imperfect
assessments There is SO much greater necessity
therefore, why the public shoald BE- informed
through the newspapers of the result of the as
sessments OF the different counties, that if any
evils exist they may Be corrected by public opin-
ion.

HEALTH OF BuRLINGToN.-We learn that eX-
asgerated reports are in circulation throughout the
county as to the health of Burlington. We would
ay to our friends that liberal allowance must
Be made for all such rumors. Our city is as
healthy as could be expected at this season Of the
year, considering the great amount Of rain that
has fallen lately, and the extreme heat of the
weather. There has been to some extent ten
dency to disorders of the bowels, which, when
neglected have resulted in cholera, and some deaths
nave occurred. The most Of them, however, may
traced to exposure and imprudence, always
aangerous at this time of the year, and peculiarly
% ms season, while pre- disposition to cholera
prevails We would admonish all, that strict at
suuon to temperance, cleanliness, and cheerful
aes OF mind are the best preventives of sickness;
sad strictly attended to, we have no doubt but
y w summer will pass away and Burlington be
o'essed with such season Of health as she has
seldom known.

The Alton Telegraph asks, "why shoali farm
ers oppose railways" We answer that farmers
about here do not oppose them. They are the
best friends of such roads because they are salts
fed Of their utility and advantages. When the
route of a railroad is located the farmers along
the line take all the stock they can, and pay for
1t by their labor in blilding the superstructure,
and by the sale Of all their surplus stock and pro-
dnce to the lahorers on the road The farmer
hnds an excellent market at his door for all he
raises land when the road is completed besides af-
fording him ready communication with dis
tant and hitherto inaccessible market. it has in
creased the value of his land from twenty-five to
an hundred per cent, and the mark etable value Of
all his produce in the same proportion. Every
farmer through whose premises railroad is sur
veyed, can well afford 10 give not merely the right
Of way over his land bat to subscribe literally to
the stock, without the Fear of being dollar out of
pocket, that will not be returned to him ten fold
in the increased value OF his farm and all its pro-
duets. This fact has been demonstrated of late
years, and has been the means of disSipating that
prejudice which at one time existed against rail-
roads by reason OF their supposed tendency to alb
sorh and cenralize business and local trading III
terests, in large commercial cites. The result
has been that wherever railways have been built,
real estate has advance from twenty five TO one
thousand per cent. during the last ten years; pop
nlatioa has increased, local business has increas-
ed, and the general business eaterprize of the
country has advanced very materially. Where
the railway has not been constructed (says the
American Railway Times) another state of things
exists. We find gradual decline in business,
because the more enterprizing part of the popala-
ton were determined go where they could have
easy facilities for reaching market, and therefore
grouped themselves alongside of the railway track.
in settlements which have gradually become vii
lagos and even cities.
