BLACKGUARDIsM.--W regard the re-
ply of the Fairfield Sentinel To the Re-
public, Of this place, in regard TO the
damage done to our town by the high
water, as the meanest piece of black
guardism we have seen lately. In the
first place we do not believe that any cit
izen of this place ever told the editor of
the Sentinel that the water was two feet
deep in the Stores in this place, (if he
did he lled,) and in tho second place the
editor Of the Sentinel did not show him.

Des NIOincs River InprOvem cnt.
A commune alton, which we publish
this week. from Zone Of the People, >
was written by gentleman who resides
in the vicinity where the work is said
TO have been progressing. The writer
holds up the management of the work,
from its commencement, IN all its naked
dcformity, and rightcously exposes the
party trickery of mere politicians. 10
the just contempt and scorn of every
friend of the River Improvement. He
asks some plain questions, in relation to
the progress Of the work, The squandcr-
ing OF the funds and material, which
are truly home thrusts, and we hope, will
have tendency TO arouse the people and
get them to examining into the manage
men, Of this work, and also TO full de-
termination to break up the whole crew
of managers, who have SO long trilled
alike with their feelings and interests.
That the river, as nature formed it,
was, and is still navigablc for small
Steamers good part of the year, we,
who used 10 see Steamers blowing the
Des Moines, while il was an Indian
country, well know; and now j, does
look like life time, to look forward 10
the time when these men will make it
navigable. @a a ~ aI sd G-e
Indeed, the course they hare been
pursuing, warrants us in the belief that
it will never be so under their manage
ment. In relation TO the Plank road,
while we agree with '.One of the Peo-
ple," that the Commissioner ought 10
give all the time he is paid for, TO The
improvement; and to nothing else, and
that he was not the man for the place,
we at the same time, are among those
who believe that we need, and ought TO
have good Plank road to the Missis.
sippi ON the divide. This will, SO far
from being any de,rimcnt to the River
commerce, be in its favor, as all expert
ence has shown that these works only
increase business, and vallies less rich
and productive have been the feeders 10
several better communications than eth
er of these will be for years.
Whatever may be said in relation 10
onr course, and the motives that govern
us, by mai row minded gassies, and envi-
Gus minds, here or on the Mississippi,
we are not TO be drawn off from advo-
eating what we believe 10 be the true n-
tcrest of the Des Moines Valley; ON both
sides of the River. We think those
who have taken pains TO sound public
sentiment, in this part Of the valley, and
the South west, al least, will find that the
people have not the most remote idea of
securing an outlet for their produce,
through any channel, except the River
and the natural dividing ridge. And
long after humbugs have exploded, this
reality viii remain TO cheer and gladden.
all true friends of this boundless Valley.
We are surprised that "One of the
People," has not yet learned, that, what
was once Democracy, is not now
Once il was Democratic, for the people
TO elect all Offices, give the people all
power; but now, while this is anti Dem
ocratic, it is quite Democratic for ore
man to take all power from the people
and say who their officers shall be.

falsebood. That improvement which
destroys the boun,ies of Nature, and
makes a curse her choicest blessings -
Why is il that the people OF the Valley
of the Des Moines, one Of the faircs,
portions of Gods heritage, are as COM
peiely shut out from the rest of the
world as if they were surrounded by a
vast desert! Which is the most diff
cul, of passage desert of mud or of
sand! But is this desert one of Nature
freaks, or is il Of our own making! I,
was not always SO. When our country
was new, and when we had no surplus
10 take TO market, we had steamboat
communication with the rest of the
world. And why is il, that now, when
we have vast and yearly increasing
surplus to send 10 market, and that sur
| plus necessarily follows the course OF
the Des Moines TO the Mississippi; and
when the increasing tide of emigration
TO the interior OF our State requires in
creased facilities, that an passage by the
river, the natural outlet, is completely
stopped, and that 10 all human appear
ances forever! And is there no RENE
dy, no redress! Must we be forever
compelled to drag the produce of our
immensely rich country to market! II
must all go either by water or by land.
IL by lane, we must make Rail Roads
and Plank Roads, and every dollar of
their cost and the profits they make TO
the builders. the produce Of the country
n,usi pay. 1'a@ .' g
But the River is Gods highway and he
charges no toll upon it. Nor was it in
tended by the bountiful Creator as a
mere drain to draw off the surplus wa
ters Of the country. law Of erapora
lion would have answered as well, and
been as easily made. ~

one that properly applied would have
"improved" the river from its mouth To
the Raccoon Forks; so that boats which
run the upper Mississippi, could at all
all times run The Des Moines. This i'm

of the Des Moines without competitor

could have been formed at that time who

The Hail Storm, at Irish Hoilo,c-The Galena

storm at Irish Hollow, from informant worthy of
full confidence. He says he measured some of the
hail stones, which fourteen inches in circum-
ference! They were not generally round but OF
all manner of shapes. Some of them were fat,
with holes apparently worn through them-and
the holes appeared to have been filled with mud !;
it appearing as if some whirlwnd had taken up a
body Office from swamp, broken it into frag-
ments, and dropped it., as stated. Where they
struck ploughed ground, they would bury them
selves frequently six inches deep. Several young
cattle were killed. such as cows, pigs, colts, etc.
Men who were caught out fed for shelter for
life, and some were badly bruised. The hail came
before the rain. Wheat fields were much injured,
and young orchards were ruined. One gentleman
informs us that hail stone fell upon the roof Of his
house and upon bed, breaking through two thick
clapboards. The track Of the hail was about a
mile and a half across. =
