70 the Editor ofthe Dubuque Tribune
DIAN SIR: We notice in your paper Of
March 24th a gross n,isstatement, signed by
Capt. J. P. Anderson, Wash. Arson, F. J.
Nathorn, John Stroll, d. Griffin Cook and
Ismes Logan, relative TO the prices of -four at
Cedar Rapids. We regarded the whole as an
snd-rhandsd proceeding, calculated, to de-
eeive and mislead future Emigrants to Cal
ifarnia and Oregon, and would therefore request
Of you the favor Of publishing the following in
correction.
The prices Of -four at the Cedar Rapids mills,
the present season, have been, for the best Ex-
ira Superfne - so per loo, lbsor $500 per Dbl,
rood Euperiine So 90 per 100, lbs or 81 W per
Dbl, and in no instance toour knowledge have
The prices exceeded these figures. ihe indi-
v.duals who made the msstatement referred 70
were d. tanned here some ~ hours-the river
being then rende &C i.npassabie by the immense
quantities Of ice passing down, and much un-
reasonable dissatisfaction was expressed by
them in consequence Of this delay. We are in
formed however from good authority, that after
crossing the river, this Company remained at
house on the opposite side nearly three days
the greater por ton Of which time was spent IN
sarousing and that the letter to Mr.. Bush as
published in your paper was written al TINS
Nmr, and while the company were all with 'he
exception Of Mr. Stroll under the influence OF
intoxicating liquor. These facts can be SUP
stantia,ed, if Necessary, by ahdavn. we
know nothing of the character OF MI BUSH
We only know that he ]. miller OF Ducuque
and a. such. he 10 undoubtedly interested In The
publication of such a statement az appears ovei
the names Of Anderson Sc, whether true q
not.

~The communication referred to in the a.
hove article, will be found below. The letter
was handed to Us for publication, prior to its ap
nearing in the Tribune and regarding its ex-
ee.s;sely blotted and disfgured appearance as
sSnewhat suspicious, we declined its publica-
tion.
In making this statement, we intend no re.
Section upon the editor of the Tribune, for he
was no doubt governed by the best motives, in
giving place TO the communication.
We regret that there was any m,sunderstand-
ine between our California bound friends and
those Of Cedar Rapids, and especially that any
erroneous statements should have been volun,
.sered, calculated TO do injustice to any one.
The following has been handed to US for pub
Geation:
CEDAR RAPIDS, March 12, 1852.

ture California emigrants, that the best quality
Of flour at Cedar Rapids is IS per RI or 2" hum
