II We have received communication
in relation TO sundry false and malicious
reports in circulation in this county, en-
mating from the mandatory of such
things in this Town, charging James G.
Tolman with being a defaulter to this
County in large amount, variously
stated up to $4,000, and showing up
that and similar reports in their true col
ors, and the same article setting forth
some who are defaulters. We have no
room for the communication this week,
but will find place for it next week.
These and similar reports, started in
remote parts of the county at this time
are intended as q substitute for the fnan-
cal report, which the people are SO loud
ly calling for,and We shall not be surpris-
ed to hear that the Wings are charged with
all the defalcations and mismanagement
Of the county, slime whereof the men,
ory of man runue,h moi to the contrary"
The only safe course is, not to listen TO
any such stories, the time, circumstances
and motives are all suspicious. Let them
be branded as lies from head quarters in

citizens OF lowaville are building beau

Moines River trade; and as the citizens
of the entire valley are deeply interested
in the enterprise, | have concluded to
send YOU description of her. | believe
her to be as good a model, and as sub.
stantially built as any boat ever saw.
| do no. profess to be very well skilled
in such matters, and am rot as compe-

deep interest in the navigation of this
River, and have taken pains to enquire
into this enterprise. believe il will be
one of the best boats ever built in the
West; and is well adopted TO the success.
full navigation of the Des Moines. She
is constructed of the very best materials;
the limbers on her sides are what the
carpenters call futtucks timber, made of
the roots OF large oak trees; this | be-
lieve is not usual in boat building, and
must add TO her strength and durability.
Her length is 1875 feet, breadth of beam
25 feet, and depth of hold feet, her
deck rounds twelve inches measuring
cross wise, and she has twelve inches
shear, fore and aft she has large hatch
ways. When completed she will have a
fine cabin, % state rooms, and finished
with view TO comfort and convenience.
She will measure 81 feet from the main
deck to top of the pilot house; she is to
have Q boilers, % feet by 40 inches in
diameter; two engines of IS horse pow
er each. The workmen are going ahead
rapidly,and will have her ready TO launch
in some months zine. Ii is contem-
plated 10 make an experimental trip with

can raise or thousand men, who will
move the dams so fast that it will make
the heads of the River officers swim
and teach them that an independent peo-
pie will no longer remain quiet under their
glorious inactivity and false promises
Our enterprising people have invested
their money in this en,erpriss-and if
the Valley Boys will clear the River,
they will navigate il, and save them
thousands OF dollars year-to say moth
ing of the fatigue and hardships of lrudg-
ing through the mud some 200 miles-lo
haul all We buy from abroad or SEND off.
We hope the River officers will open
the River; if they do not, the people will,
and have highway for commerce-as
the God of nature gave il to them. We
want the River, and UiH haze it--and
give the tardy Board of Public Works
fair warning. The edict has gone forth
from all classes of our enterprising citi-

I 1/Letter from Fort Kearney.
" New Fort KEARNEY,
May %, 1852.
We arrive here this evening, eleven
days out from old Fort Kearney, and
distant 24O miles, Roads and grass good,
and teams in fine condition; but The
weather stormy and uncomfortably cold
for The season.
One man was shot and wounded in the"
arm by party of Indians, twelve miles
below here, owing to some difference
growing out OF horse trade. One white
man found dead. shot and stabbed, and
three Indians, comprise all the difficulties
this far.
The emigrants are all getting along
well. Three hundred and sixty wagons
encamped within fifteen miles Of the
Fort lastnight. Report says over 1000
wagons have already passed aere up to-
the present time.
Small pox and cholera are both re-
ported on the 81, Joseph and Indepen-
dence roads--thirty or more Deaths
Rumors of Indian difficulties appear
very current, but mostly without foundaJ
ton.
should advise all emigran,s to take al
boat after buying their teams and pfovi-
sions for Fort Kearney or Council Bluffs,
where they can start on their journey
wilhoulthe difficulty oftravelling around
every mans farm, and through every
deep mud hole ard hollow that cannot
be cultivated, besides paying prices too
high even for California, for everything
they are compelled to buy. My oxen,
that cost me sixty dollars per yoke, /
was offered one hundred for in st. Joseph.
The whole emigration appears to-
move along well, with favorable weather
for travelling, especially for ox-teams,
which appear to take the lead.
