DocToRs DIFFER,NG.-The Express has here
tofore moaned much over the etlc.ts Of the U. S
officers to prevent the public TIMBER lands from
being plundered unlawiully. The .Nuscatin.
Enqutrer notices recent visit made by Deputy
u 3 Marshal Whicher, up the Cedar and Iowa
rivers, during which he compelled trespassers to
give up their unlawfhlly gotten TIMBER, with
every sign of approval and satisfaction. Both
being high Lofoco authority, puzzled tc
know what is the true Locofoco doctrine on the
subject of timber stcaling.-T Tribune.
Well, as you have, for once in your life, ac-
knowedged yourself puzzled, circumstance
which will astonish every one who knows your
mulsIiness, we will inform you what the trvo
doctrine of cutting timber on the public lands
is. 1t is to encourage immigration to the
West; afford every reasonable means for sec ur-
ing to the poor, land by pre-emption discour-
aging spectators and monied monopolsts from
preying upon the honest industry and poverty
of the country. In securing these worthy OBJ
jects, if license for cutting the public timber is
indulged by few, which is not in precise con-
formity with the legal Interpretation given to
the citizens obligation to the government, but
which has, by silence, been sanctioned from time
inmemorial, it affords no plausible ground for
overrunning the country with set of hungry
officials, whose business seems to be to extort
money from the pockets of the offenders without
any process of law. This system of admins
tration we are opposed to, because it is an arbi-
trary assumption of power, unauthorized and
highly oppressive in its character and tendancy
Many parts of this country are so sparsely tim
bered, that it is absolutely necessary to look to
the more denscly timbered country, which is yet
unsettled, and in the possession of the govern
ment, to supply the positive wants and necess-
ties of the people, and without which the indus
try of our settlements will receive a decided
check. Which would be the most crying evil,
to discourage settlement and enterprise along

formidable position, and the controversy is
proceeding in manner which the Government
cannot overlook. 1t is now believed that Ire
land is on the brink of an important and start

solved upon prosecuting the Bishops for assum-
ing the titles of their respective sees, on the
casion of the demonstration at Dublin.

with ease, and always eloqucntly, though with
defective pronunciation. He says

A TRAsEDY.-The following is from the
WnskingfOn (Ga1 Gazette.


Our county was yesterday the scene of the
most horrid butchery that blackens the annals of
crime. The victim was the wife of Mr.. W. r.
Burns, respectable citizen of the county. Il
appears MIR. Burns had left home early in the
morning to go to his fathers. He had been
there but short time when a messenger ar
rived informing him of his wife being murdered.
He returned, and on entering his home found
Mrs. Burns lying upon the floor, with her head,
throat, and neck mutated in a most shocking
manner. There were several mortal wounds on
different portions of the back and neck, reach
ng entirely across, passing through the entir,
muscular tissue, and nearly dividing the vrrte-
brse of the neck. These wounds were eviio, ty
inflicted by an axe, afterwards ascer,ainr,i.
Upon investigation by the soroncr's jury all tll,
facts pointed out Melinda, negro woman, tho
property OF Mrs. Burns, as the perpetrator of the
bloody deed. A verdict was found in accor-
dance with these facts, and the woman has been
arrested and lodged III Jail to await her trial be-
fore the superior Court at its next session.

A stranger in our place, to see the covered
wagons, horses, and cattle that continually
throng our streets, would take Dubuque for
some great place of rendezvous for California
emigrants. But it is not SO. These movers
are destined only for Dubuque and the surround
ing counties. Last evening, we noticed a num-
ber of wagons, about 40 head of cattle, Is head
of horses, and nobody knows how many men,
women, and children passing through, on their
way to the sunny praires of Delaware. That
is one of the best counties in the State, we un
derstand, and is settled by industrious, intel
ligent, and thriving people as can be found
any where. Next summer and fall, we shall be
disappointed if the population and wealth of
Dubuque, Delaware, Clayton, and adjoining
counties is not at least doubled.
