Man Of Davenport.

We are pleased to learn that new map
Of our city is new in the hands of one Of the
best photographers in the West. and will be
ready for publication at an early day 1t
was avn and will also be published by
Mr.. A. NJ. Bailey, an accomplished Survey
or and Draughtsman, and who, we are in
formed. has AIRED no pains to render it in
every way worthy the patronage Of our citi-
xens The map is executed on large and
comprehensive scale and contains all the
recent additions TO the city. tits also en-
bellished with sketches of the principal
dwelling in town, and surrounded by mag
nifcent views Of the city itself, the main
churches and public edihces and one OF
Fort Armstrong.
The want Of such a map has long been
felt by our landholders and business men,
and if the above be all that is represented
to us, We can shssrfully recommend it to
them as to our citizens generally, and pre-
dict for it an extensive sale.

BY the correspondence in the last number
Of the Gazette, it was observed that the
name of Fitz Henry Warren was not
brought before the joint convention as q
candidate fer the Senatorship. This is re-
sardsd BY the old-lne Democrats as akin
to q triumph. Next to our fellow citizen,
DR.. Warren was our choice for Senator; a
choice that we confess arises from the Bit
Ter animosi,y with which the Democrats.
reRari him, as veil as from his efficiency.
We still hope II Mr. Cooks chances should
prove abortiys, that the name of Mr.. War
rem may be introduced as the successful
candidate.

directly called in question the statcmest Of
an individual named Butt Hewson. who i'm
me diatcly addressed him.a note desiring =
retraction. Mr.. Prentice gave statement
ofthe matter which would have satisfied any
reasonable msn, but Hewson again address
ed him wishing more explicit retract,on.
TO this Mr.. Prentice replies, states the bu-
siness in which he is engaged, the object
for which he presumes the man insists up
on re,raction and then gives his ideas ~
regard to duelling, from which we cxtrac'
the conclusion:-
look npon the miserable code that u
said to require two men to go out and shoo'
at each other for what one OF them may
consider violation Of etiquette or punctllio
in the use at language, with scorn equal
to that which is getting to be lclt for II oy
the whole civilized world of mankind.
