THE VArIcAN.-This word is often used,
but there are many who do not understand its
import. The term refers TO collection Of
buildings on one Of the seven hills of Rome,
which cover space of 1890 feet in length and
1000 in breadth. 1t is built on the spot once
occupied by the garden ct the cruel Nero.
1t owes its origin to the Bishop of Rome, who
in the early part Of the sixth century, erected
an humble residence on Its site. About the
year 1850, Pope Eugenious rebuilt 1t on the
magnificent scale. innocent H., a few years
afterwards, gave it as Judging to Peter II :,
King OF Aragon. In 1905. Clement V at the
insignaton Of the King of France, removed the
Papal Sea from Rome to Avignon when the Va.
tician remained in a condition Of obscurity and
neglect for more than seventy years. But soon
after the return of the Pon,ifcal Court toRome,
an event which had been SO earnestly prayed for
b. the poor Petrarch, and which finally took
place in 1876, the Vatican was put into a state
of repair, again enlarged, and it was thencefnr-
ward considered as the regular Palace and resi-
dence of the Popes, who, one after the other,
added fresh buildings to it, and gradually en-
rched it with antiquities, statues, pictures and
books, until it became the richest depository in
the world.
The Library of the Vatican was commenced
400 years ago. 1t contains 10000 manuscripts
which some by Pliny, st. Thomas, st.
Charles Borrolnee, and many Hebrew, Syrac,
Arabian and Armenian Bibles.
The whole of the immense buildings compos-
ing the Vatican are filled with statues, found
beneath the ruins of ancient Rome with paint
lngs ny the masters, and with curious medals
and antiquities of almost every description.
When it was known that there have been ex-
hunrd more than 30,0UO statues from the ruined
temples and palaces Of Rome, the reader can
form some idea OF the riches OF the Vatican
The Vatican will ever be held in veneration
by the student, the artist, and the scholar. Ra.
raele aud Michael A ,gelo are en'hroned there,
and their throne will be as endurable as the love
ofbeauty and genious in the hearts Of their
worshisppers.

pened that one Of the boys was bitten by a rattle
snake and was expected to die, when the minis
ter was sent for in great haste On his arrival he
found the young man very penitent AID anxious
to be prayed with. The minister, calling the
family, kneeled down and prayed in this wise

We pray thee to send raltlesnake to bite John;

getting engaged in good earnest For my own

buque Westward. How is this they tell me
Dubuque has become Indifferent to our interests,
and is now paying her devotions TO GAINESVILLE,
& Go. There is something unpleasant in this
thought. Dubuque, to whom we have looked
as the protector Of our interests, could aid the
strong arm Of the East, but aercr the weak and
d. stitute Of the West
Surely, feel anxious in this matter and hope
soon to see demonstration made, which will
restore forner confidence, and our efforts be-
cnme united in accomplishing the important R.
r. connection which have SO long hoped for.
The social, political, and pecuniary interests both
Of Dubuque and Linn County forbids the idea of

Your Friend, J. w. !.

General Desire and Gen Opinion, two famous
heroes at Dubuque, both favor the appointment
of Elk Governor Dewey for Surveyor General.
We presume his appointment is certain, though
delayed for some reason.-[Grant County Her
aid
Yet the odds are against him for three mill
tia Generals-Dodge, Jones and D"dge-are
down upon those other Generals spoken of, and
will not allow them To have any thing if they
can prevent it, Madison Argus and Demo-
crat.
The above extracts would possess infinitely
more force and pith, if they possessed that all
important ingredient, truth.
In the first place, the "t,co famous heroes Of
Dubuque, Gen. Desire and General Opinion y
have never favored the appointment Of Ex- Gov
ernor Dewey.
However famous for keroism, we in Dubuque
may be, we have never sought, nor never expect,
TO build up . reputation, by psndering TO the
fanatical whims of Abolition Free Soilsm
In our recommendations for Office, we adhere
strictly TO our honest convictions and the recor-
ded judgment Of our state, touching the subject
of Abolitionism. Let certain, candidates from
Wisconsin, present as clean record in this
respect. and perhaps their chances for Office
might be more catering.
Perhaps the criticisms Of the "Argus and
Democrat" upon Senator Dodge. of Wisconsin,
are not as disinterested as they might be. 1t is
rumored in certain quarters, that the editor went
to Washington, to inform the President how
the appointments for that state, should be made;
but the President regarding the Congressional
Delegation, as more appropriate medium Of
the popular will, concluded TO take their counsel
in the matter and not his and therefore he res
turned from the Federal CITY, disappointed
| man.
We do not assert that this is the case; but
we merely repeat what we have heard, as .
reason for the bitter hostility Of the Democrat
towards ex Gov. Dodge. lfthis rumor be true
we have only to say, that our esteemed cotempo

MANUFACTURES OF OIL AND GAs.-lt is said,
that two important discoveries have lately been
made, in the manufacture Of oil and the produc-

abundance and economy, by the distillation of
coal; while, in the same process, benzole is
produced, and The same is converted into gas,

THE plain DEALER"

This paper printed at Fort Madison is down
having organized force of men and machinery,
for removing the rocks in the Lower Rapids
/, in,ima,es that we must send other men to
Congress, it we want any thing done. Who
would the Plain Dealer send . All that's the
question.
1--we know any thing about this matter, it is
the duty Of our Representatives to provide the
means for making these Improvements by an act
of appropriations from Congress, and Of the gov
ernment To expcnd the means when once appro-
priated The Representatives have faithfully
discharged their duty. They have secured an
appropriation Of over one hundred thousand dol.
lars for improving the Upper and Lo~er Rapids.
This is all they can do aud much more than
many expected they would be able to accom-
plish. Under the circumstances it should be
regarded as a decided triumph. What more can
they do. II would not look well for them, when
the labor of the several Departments, don't
move along just as briskiy as they, or the Peo-
pie directly interested might desire, to annoy
the officers having them in charge, with their
suggestions and opportunities. Such course
would not only embarrass the administration of
public affairs, but would form the occasion Of
interminable strifes and bitter aninadversions,
between the officers of the Legislative and Ex-
ecutive departments of the government.
We say then. that our Representatives in this
matter, have done all that any rational men,
could ask. or expect them to do; and if there Is
any unnecessary delny in expending the money,
the fault is not theirs and they should not be
held responsible for it. We have heard it ru-
mored, that the "Plain Dealer" was established
expressly to find fault, but we are not disposed
10 make up opinion from mere rumor and we
should hope the .srlain Dealer" wonld be the
last paper to adopt course, alike fatal to itself
its friends and the party. We have had enough
of spurious democracy in this state, for the last
two years. lie! us mete out justice to all par
ties, and we will have no cause to reproach our
selves, or lament the defeat of our party in the
