location is healthy one, and peculiarly adap-
ted to commercial pursuits; having most ex
cellent steamboat landing all seasons of the
year. We have seven dry good stores, two gro
Gerry stores, two drug stores. three hotels, two
physicians, three lumber yards two tailors two
shOemakers. two blacksmiths, two wagon Shops
six commission merchants, one hardware store
and tin shop, harness shop, bakery. printing Of
fee. barber shop, and about four hundred as
honest, thrifty citizens as can be found any
where in the west. Business Of all kinds is in
creasing, and superior advantages are offered
for manufacturing of all kinds. A country rich
in agricultural pursuits. lies back of US, which
invites the attention Of fruit and stock growers
especially the latter, for we believe no por
ton of Illinois is better adapted to the raising
Of stock of all kinds, than the country around

good f1onrlng mill would pay handsome
profit upon the money invested. Flour is now
brought from the inland towns to this place for
shipment to the ST. Louis and St. Paul markets
Wheat can be purchased at the mills at the
same rates which are paid where our flour is
now made, and thus save the expense of land
carriage. These markets are found to be the
best for produce and for breadstuffs, as they are
always to be depended upon In fact manufac-
turing of any kind would pay literally upon
the amount expended. We know of first rate
water power with dam built, within two miles
of this place. which could be made to turn sew
cral kinds of machinery, and can be purchased
at a bargain.
Improvements are going forward on every
hand. Several new buildings have been erect
ed during the past season, and great prepare
lions are being made to erect some fine struct-
ures next summer. The increase of travel con-
sequent upon the completion of the Railroad to
Freeport, has added life and animation to the
town. Our hotels are well filled and our trade
with Iowa and other markets is constantly in
creasing. Aside from being aided as we now
are by the immense commerce of Mt. Carroll
it is the great shipping point, through which
some portions of the country draw their susie
nance. Lumber. being furnished much cheaper
than at Chicago prices, brings buy
ers from every town for miles inland
Surely bright day is dawning for Savanna
when she will throw off the name of village and
assume that of city. 1t is the only formidable
rival Galena has; for let Savanna with her two
roads, establish regular line of packets be-
tween st. Louis and ST. Paul, changing at this
place, and we rather think Fevre River would
stagnate for the want OF steamboats, to stir up
the frogs congregated there. This day will come
too, mind that; so farmers bring on your grain:
capitalists, bring on your means emigrants
bring on your wives and little ones. and help
to bring about this desired result.-Savanna

PoRr OF ST. LorIs-On Thursday there were
sixty steamers at the port of ST. Louis, forty
of which were lying up idle. Twelve were dis
charging and eight receiving cargoes. Ship
ping is duller in st. Louis this season than usu
al, and low water has almost entirely suspend.
ed commercial operations of all kinds.

THE DECLARATION OF MISUNDERSTANDING
Marcy maintains the following great principle:
-" An alien here. who has at least three years
before his admission soemnly declared his DO
ma fde intention to become one of us: and to
renounce forever all allegiance to any foreign
sovereignty whatever, is as to all foreign gov
ernments. a citizen de facto of the United States
entitled to the security of his person and prop
erty without as we'll as within our territory, so
long as he shows no intention of changing his
domicil. regards his obligations to this govern
ment. and does not abuse or forfeit the adyant
age and privileges of American protection and
citizenship, by rendering himself justly amena-
BILE to some foreign tribunal. or by returning
within his native jurisdiction. and then calling
upon the United States to save him from the
consequences of offences committed hereunder.
Every alien from our shores, who has in his
pocket the certificate of his declaration of in
tentOn and a letter of safe conduct indOrsed
by our official agents in any country. must,
while he lives there in good faith to the parties
concerned. be protected at all hazards by the
representatives of the United States Govern
ment."
