THE TOWN OF OLU MBUS.

The town Of Columbus is situated on the
Mississippi, in Alamakee county, Iowa, about
one hundred miles above Dubuque, between
Lansing and Paint Rock and for health and
elevation opposition. fertility Of country about it,
harb"r advantages and water power for Machine
ry,is perhaps not surpassed by any point be-
tween Dubuque and st. Paul.
Conversing with gentleman the other day,
who has taken the trouble to visit and examine
the place, he informs US, that he has met with
no point during his brief journ in the country,
which strikes him as more favorable for large
town, THAI this. He says the landing for boats
is excellent, the elevation, upon which the town
is building, is sufficient, 10 insure the inhabitants
against damage or disease by high water, mill
privileges are Of the best kind and easily inn
proved, the country in every direction is of the
most productive character and those who have
settled in the town are an intelligent, energetic,

destined to make their mark whe rever they

Men who engage exclusively in town specu-

pathy at the hands Of the public, but those who
select a good point and settle down to regular
business, determined by their energy, industry,
sobriety, tact and frugali'y to build up business
for themselves and the country round about,
always have claim TO the favorable consideration
Of an enlightened public. Among the latter
class, we think we may safely locate the people

a Baltimore paper, speaking of the course
10 be pursued toward those in that commu-
nifty who have been recently guilty of GER
tain daring outrages, makes the following
most excellent comments. We especially
commend them to the good citizens of
Washington, at this time:
ga portion of small band of outlaws is
now in the hands Of the law, and we trust
that they will be made to feel the full ven
geance of it's offended dignity. The names
of these parties can be found upon the re-
cords of the Criminal Court and in the an
nails of the police for years past, and have
acquired most unenviable notoriety. We
hope this last outrage will bring upon them
sentence which will place them for a
goodly term where they will be made to en-
ploy their strength in something better than
rioting and violence
"Let the Legislature promptly pass a law
directing all such outlaws to be put to hard
work whether sent to the Jail or the peni-
tertiary, and it will possibly teach some of
them to restrain their propensities for evil,
and will at least make confn ement a little
more of punishment to such fellows than
it is at present"
