Rain.Rain.Rain.


In the course of the last ten days we have
had an unusually heavy amount of rain
The Iowa river and its tributaries are all above
ordinary high water mark. Bridges, RATS and
mill -dams, with but few exceptions, are wend-
ing their way to the Mississippi. As far as
we can learn the rain has been general and has
extended to the counties north west of us. The
Iowa, though not quite SO high as on former
occasion, appears to have reached its maxi
mum, and will probably recede in few days
Our citizens adjacent to the streams have sus
tanned considerable damage by the loss and
destruction of property, and great inconveni
ence will be experienced by the community
generally till the bridges and mills are repair
! ed. Our mail facilities are almost entirely sus
pended for the present, in consequence o
which our exchange list is limited and our in
formation from that source rather meagre.
The prospect does not look very fattering
but the bow of hope still appears in the cloud
as guaranty that We are not to be totally del
used.

A few days since we had occasion to visit
the new mills, one and half miles west of this
city, on the site formerly occupied by the Man
ufacturing Company mills on the Iowa river
We have thought therefore, the present, an APP.
proprate opportunity to call the attention 90
thepublic to this improvement SO greatly needed
and SO well supplied and The more SO, as the re-.
cent high waters have undoubtedly greatly lnjur,
ed the dams on the smaller streams, in this as
well other parts of the state, and large scope
ofcountry will have to rely upon these mills to
make their breadstuffs for some time to come.
We are not a miller, and therefore do not
profess to be a judge of such works, but we ven
ture the opinion that these mills are more COM
plete and better arranged than any water mills
in the State.
capable of grinding 40 bushels per hour. The
boiling machinery is more complete than we
have ever known used with two pair of burrs
The boiling chests contain nine reels twenty
feet long, covered with a hundred and twenty
yards of cloth, arranged most admirably $50
say the millers) for making the largest yield Of
the finest quality Of -four.
The proprictors We are informed, intend to
keep full supply of three grades of flour to
meet all demands of both city and country
and emigrants settling at any point west Of
this place will find it the most accessible, a:
well as the cheapest and best place of obtain
ing their supplies.
The saw mill has also just been repaired
and bills of lumber can be furnished upon the
shortest notice.

" The communication in another column
signed Steam," was received at this Office
last January, and placed in the copy drawer
for publication, but by some means it became
lost, until few days since, when it was found
among some old manuscript sheets of the Jour
nal We have, therefore, inserted it in to-day 5
paper, believing with the writer that it is
nothing more than fair play that both sides of
a question should be heard We hope this
will be sufficient apology to our friend for
its non appearance before. In connection with
this, We wish it distinctly understood, that we
hold our columns open to all communications
which are calculated to advance the interests
and prosperity Of any portion Of the State.

Omcial Outrage.

We are surprised to find the follow
ing language in the late Presidential
proclamation relative to the suppos-
ed Cuban expeditions:
cit is believed that this expedition
is instignated and set on foot by for
eigncrs, who dare to make our shores
the scenes of their guilty and hostile
preparations against a friendly pow
er, and seek by talsehood and misrep-
reservations to seduce our citizens, es-
pecially the young and inconsiderate,
into their wicked schemes, an migrate
fill return for the benefits conferred
upon them by this people in permitting
them to make our country an asylum
from oppression, and in fragrant abuse
of the hospitality thus extended to
them"
We should like to know by what
authority the highest official dignitary
of the nation, assumes the right to
make inviduous distinctions between
foreigners and mattress?
The President has no right to de-
nounce in unmeasured terms any
class of our citizens. He has no
right to know officially, any distinc-
ton. More than all, he has no right,
as the head of a great Republic, to
charge those who flee to our land as
an "aslum from oppression" with in
gratitude and abuse of hospitality
They come not here merely by "per-
mission,' but by right. When here,
they exercise no privileges, but par
ticipate in the natural rights of free
dom. This asylum was founded by
refugees from the tyranny of the world
and comented by the blood of free
dom's martyrs from every nation
The title of the European emigrant
was signed by the swords Of such he
roes as Lafayette and Kosciusko, De
Kalb, and Montgomery-and shall
he be told that he is mere tenant al
will? Away with such selfish AFRO.
gance-such unwarranted reproach
This glorious Republic was establish
ed for the benefit Of the world, mo-
for the use of nation. The tru'
American says, "ho! all We that thirst
come and drink of the waters of Free
dom-all We that are heavy laden
come and rest from oppression.

Of REPRESENTATIVES in 1s4e, and the clumsy cor

except that in the year Of our Lord A. d. 1884,

that he would postpone "a triptot the Pacific for

CoLToN's TOWNSHIP MAP OF IowA-We have
just had the pleasure Of examining a new pock-
ct map of Iowa, by J. ii. CoLroN, Esq, No Sc,
Cedar street, New York. 1t exhibits the new
counties of the state entire, with the township
lines accurately marked and numbered as fal
as the surveys have been extended, and also
the adjacent portions Of Missouri, Illinois, Wis
ccnsin and Minnesota. The mechanical execu
ton is beautiful, and towns, villages, post
offices, roads and streams are as correctly de
lineated as the unfinished state of the public
surveys would admit. We cheerfully commend
it to the public as the most authentic, conveni
ent and comprehensive map of Iowa yet pub
lished

The American Part Of the -
dom Exhibition.

The London Morning Ne,es, Of the
26th ult has the following article ON
that part of the Exposition devoted
to American products.
In that part of the building devoted
to the produce Of American industry,
the most noticeable feature is the
largeness of the space allotted, as
compared with the very meagre show
of goods. Whether this inequality
will be removed by subsequent arri-
walls, within the very few days which
yet remain for preparation, we are
not aw are, but If not, it would be de-
sirable to divide the surplus room
between those other foreign exhibitors
who, in the neighboring compart-
ments, are complaining of undue lin
itation. Many of the articles sent
from the states are still resting in
their packing-cases, and Of these, be-
yond the notification made in the
published lists, we can give no ac-
count. OF those which have been
brought to light, and are now being
arranged round the walls, and up
on the counters and floor, utility,
rather than elegance of design, elab-
crate ornament or high finish, seems
to be the chief characteristic.
There are two compartments ofthe
building assigned to the states, each

Navigation Of the Iowa and Cedar
Rivers.

| The editor of the Republican, in recent num-
Der of his paper, pretends to approve the pro-
ject of constructing a boat for the navigation
of these rivers, but at the same time serves up
a column of low irony and muddy wit for the
benefit of the business men of this city He
reminds us very much of the rudimental song,
where the words, "Scotlands burning are
Immediately succeeded by the solemn sound,

They are not satisfied with anything short of
a railroad to connect us direct with New York.
The cost of the section of the road assigned to
Iowa City and Davenport to construct, was on

A company has been formed, whose

the immediate commencement of the
construction of railroad in south

thence south to Keokuk in the south

to Council Bluffs on the Missouri riv-

The Dubuque and keokuk company
expect to break ground on their work
in May. Two counties have taken
about 81 100000 of stock, and paid
the first instalment. The city has
voted to expend 10000 in improving
its harbor, and the authorities are
negotiating for the work to be done
the present year. The prospects o
this enterprise are exceedingly fiat
tering, and the undertaking canno
but prove successful and profitable
we should say.
