But as those were famine years, and great por-
ton Of this silver must have gone to pay for food it
may not be fair to make use Of them as q compa-
rison with others therefore, merely using those
contained in the table, and by adding one fourth
more to 1852 as the probable amount that viii yet
be exported, it will be found that in the last four
years lere has been drawn from this country By
Foreigners in silver alone, less than ,93S 67S
ounces, over and above average OF the year 1885,
and this is merely what has actually been entered
through the Custom house, and does not include
the amount taken by cmigrants, or paid for minor
articles fom the continent, such as fruit, vegeta-
tios. poultry, game, eggs, &c, which are dolly
coming into the country, and which must be paid
for in money no one dealing in those sstcles is
merchant, aid also such articles as lace, fringcs,
sewing cotton, waistcoat pieces, volvet Sc, clocks,
watches, toys, &c.

NJ J. A. LiNNELL.

Here lies the all which earth retains
OF him who owned these bluffs and plains,
Where Black Hawk, and his kindred race,
Were dread in war and famed in chase.
Tie man il dead-the indian gone
The m;.er siambers here alone,
No more he delves, nor threads the brake,
Or paddles Ger the sllvery lake,
M more the war-whoop breaks his sleep,
Or squaw's around their vigils keep,
No monument marks ont his bed,
No mark of memory to the dead;
High on the betl"ing mount he lies
While chaste Aurora o er him signs.
The wandering clouds when laden bow,
And bend to kiss the emerald brow
And pcarly tears Of sorrow shed
Around the slumbcring miners bed.
Cities arise on his domain
The white-man ploughs this prairie plain.
The rocks no din of war resound,
Nor believing Buffaloes rage around,
No wigwam-fre the eye can trace,
No Indian scion seeks the place
Where on when clouds with lightning rent
His sire to the Great Split" bent.
But History still preserves his name
And wreathes il with the flowers Of fame.
Sweet memory long viii cherish dear
The far-famed western pioneer.
When years and centuries have fed
His memory viii outlive their dead,
And slumber in the sloughy bed.
And where the lowly islands lay
The city shall extend her sway
But this famed bluff shall stand unbent
An everlasting monument.

GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS.

In Mondays Express, we briefly noticed the ap-
pnintmcn, of Major nj. Mobley. of this city as
a Sub Treasurer for the North West The fol
lowing correspondence will show upon what we
based our remarks.
This arrangement Of 50 much Importance
to our State and City, as likewise to the gov
eminent and the people of the entire North
West, has no doubt been brought about, BY
those who desired to see public interest and
consulted, rather than the within
of few selfish and interested parties. In other
words, had no change been agitated and brought
about injurious to the pnblc interest, by remov-
ing the Deposits from ST. Louis to Chicago,
probably our State would not have received this
appointment. It's great Importance will no
doubt be duly appreciated by those who are to
be directly or remotely affected by it.

Morris, of Iowa City to Senator Jones.
LAND OFFICE, Iowa CITY, Iowa,
February 18th 1852.
Sir Your letter Of the 2Sth ult. came to hand
this morning.
| under lasting obligations to you, for
your exertions to have recinded the order re-
curing me to deposite the public moneys at
Chicago.
have received letter from the acting Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, under date of the IL Jan
stating that the instructions to me, com,emplat-
ed ga deposite at Chicago during the inlerrup-
ton of the communication With st. Louis by
ce,' and when that difficulty is removed, will
advise the Department for its action. This
leaves the order in force, to deposte at Chica-
60, until the Department is notified by me that
the river is open, and an action had thereon.
The inference however, is, that am permitted
to deposite at ST. Louis, soon as the river
opens, and that am to be advised as to subse-
quent deposites, And had concluded to 90
to ST Louis in the course of the next ten days,
if possible The ice is breaking up rapidly, and
there is fair prospect that the boats will be
running 10 Muscatnc during the next week.
The receipt of your letter, assuring me that
I will be permitted to deposite at Dubuque will
induce me to hold on while, with the hope
that may be officially informed of the fact, in
time to make my next deposte there.
| was confident that the Secretary of the
Treasury had been mslnformed as to the facil
tiles Of making the deposites al Chicago.
