Arcs OF s.. John.

We are informed that there were some
errors of fact in the article which we re-
Gently copied from Cleveland paper, in
regard to the arrest of James St. John :
He was captured by Mr.. Center, our City
Marshal, rbout fifteen miles from Cleve-
land, Ohio, after chase of nearly -four
thousand miles. He was taken out OF bed
at dead Of night, despite the shreks and
entreaties Of his wife; and was brought to
this State, and is now lodged in our jail
There was found in his possession between
FIVE and six hundred dollars, and two goif
watches. Instead of three wives, as state'
in the above mentioned article, it is under
stood that he has but tsro one in Ohio ano
the other near Indianapolis. The last Is
the same who was with him while he re-
sided in Davenport.

Excursion:ss at DUBUQUE,

The citizens Of Dubuque held a public
me citing previous to the visit of the pleas,
ure party from the East, and made prepara
tons to receive it. In accordance with the
arrangements then made, salute was fired
by the City Guards on the arrival of the
party. Gov. Hampstead then went on
board the Golden Era and delivered an ad
dress to Mr.. Fillmore. The Ex-Presiden'
replied. After which general round o
speaking was had among the distinguishes
travellers and the prominent citizens o
Dubuque. The company passed severa
hours at this point,
A party of the Excurs ionists, among
whom was Thurlow Weed, of the albany

turned 10 this city this morning, no doub

Death of Jas. D. Nourse, ESQ

The st. Louis Inteligencer of last Friday
morning, announces the death of Mr.. JAS D.
Nourse, editor of that paper. His success
sor in beautifully written obituary notice
of him, says -
The suddenness of this melancholy be-
reavement confuses and unmans us. we
are bewldered by the shock. Remember
ing him but, few hours ago seated where
we now pen these lines, we cannot realize
that his body is now cold, rigid and lfeless,
his kindly eye rayless and closed in death.
and his noble spirit wandering in distant
| and viewless worlds Yesterday morning
the Intelligancer went forth to its readers,
bearing articles which were the production
of our friends unclouded intellect. They
were terse, strong and beautiful, as was
everything from his pleasing, polished pen.
To-day the paper goes forth bewailing that
the hand is cold forever that yesterday so
beautifully embellshed its columns!
Mr. Nourse died of cholera, after few
hours illness. The following sublime con-
cep,on which appeared at the close of an
article published the morning of his dccease,
relative to the enterprise Of Fremont,
bears mournful interest as being the last
he ever penned:-
"The difficulties of opening the vast
regions west of US are melting away before
the heroism of Fremont and his fellow pio-
neers, like the SHOWS of thier own mountain
porges, when summer, with garments OF
light and beauty, invades those icy hills of
sublime solitude

An Amusing Scene.

Yesterday as the new steamer Minneso-
ia Belle was dropping down few feet to re-
ceive some heavy pieces of freight, deck
passenger, with huge loaf of bread under
his arm, was seen making rapid strides
through the mud for the boat, fully impress
ed that he was about to be left. Mounting
Il projecting pile Of stones he was almost
able to reach the guards Of the boat, but
only succeeded in preventing an equally
anxious but unfortunate seller OF turtles
from getting off. Then the shouts and
cries OF the large crowd Of passengers, deck
hands and bystanders added to their dilem-
ma and almost induced the two excited un-
fortunates to take to the water. They were
slow in understanding that the one was not
left nor the other carried off, but not SO slow
in escaping the laughter Of the spectators

Ground and Lofty Tumhling.

In the course Of our life, we have occa.
sionally visited a circus and in our boyish
days were there especially delighted By the
strange feats, the twistings and the tumb-
lings Of a certain performer, in all circuses
who is commonly termed by the boys, the
Ind" Rubber man. He would twist and
turn himself into so many inexplicable
shapes, and perform SO many wild leaps and
queer gyrations that it was matter of
doubt to us whether he had single bone in
his body. But the double and twisting of
the most india rubber Of india rubber men
that we ever saw, never equalled the high
flying summersets that the Washington u
MON has performed withn a few months on
the famous Nebraska bill -MuScatine Eng.
(Dtm.)
The Union being the organ Of the Ad-
ministration it is necessary in order to re-
fleet its course that it be as changeable as a
weathercock, hence the continual turnings
and twistings of that paper flour cotem-
poraries of the opposite school intend to
follow the Union in its evolutions they need
not express surprised if they soon find them
selves perfect teetotums.

Progress Of the Bridge.

The following paragraph giving the cx-
act condition ofthe Railroad Bridge, which
is to be bull; across the Mississippi at this
point without obstructing the navigation, Is
from the R Island Republican,
The abutments on each side Of the 1slan'
Of Rock Island are now completed, ard the
two piers in the river between the Island
and this city The abutmcnt on the Illinois
shore has not yet been commenced. The
cofferdam for this abutment is set, but at
present is covered with water AS soon as
the water recedes this abutmen, will be
built, thus completing the masonry to the
Island.
Work has been commenced on the abut-
mont on the Iowa shore, but no move mad,
that we are aware Of, for setting piers IN
the main channel Of the river between the
Island of Rock island and the Iowa shore,
The grading across the Island is being
pushed forward by the contractor MI Key
nolds, with energy.

WHIG NOMINATION.

At the Wing Convention held at low,
City on Thursday last, JAMES THoR1NGToS
Esq, Of this city was nominated the Whie
candidate for Congress, on the second ballo
by large majority. Mr.. Thorington il
well known to the citizens of this portion
OF the State, with the interests Of which
he has been identified for so many years as
reliable Wing and an ardent Temperance
man.
Resolutions were passed at the Conven-
ton, We understand, in opposition to the
Nebrask ka bill and in favor Of the principles
generally advocated BY the Wing party
but we hope 10 have the proceedings in full
IN time for publication in our next issue.
The Davenport gazette., 1854-06-15
Stspheu Hempstead.

In reply to the remarks of the Iowa State
Journal, the Temperance organ of the
State, that the practice and course of GOV
Hampstead are too notorious to require any
particular mention made by that journal OF
Temperance, the keokuk Wig very justly
says
Now, IRE think the practice and principles
of Governor Hampstead, however notorious
they may have been, do require $ particular
mention" by the Journal of Temperance;
For the election of Governor Hampstead
will have greater influence to discourage
the friends of temperance and to elate It's
opponenis. and thus to fix the waverlng
against the cause than any one event that
could possibly occur short of the actual
triumph or defeat of the prohibitory law.
Let temperance men remember that
Hampstead is looked upon as the standard
bearer and embodiment Of the liquor cause
and that his triumph will therefore be held
as an anti-temperance victory, and remem-
bcrng this, let them act accordingly.

The Exeursionists.

At Al O'Clock this forenoon, apreeably tc
invitation generally given, large concourst
of citizens assembled at the wharf to wei
come the arrival of the distinguished visitors
to this city. now returning to their respec.
tive homes from their pleasant excursion tc
the Falls of st. Anthony.
They were welcomed in very eloquent
address BY Mayor GRANT, which was re-
sPonded to by Ex- President FILLMORE and
Senator DIX. The Ex-President had Just
returned from mornings ride through the
city and suburbs, and upon the broad prai-
res stretching back of the bluffs.
He expressed himself as highly delighted
with the locality and congratulated our cit
izcns upon possessing the Paradise of the
world!''
Senator DIX spoke more in respect to
the advance of the age and the progress oI
the great West within his memory He
said that the iron for the extension of the
Road west to Iowa City was now being
landed at the port of New York, and had
this party visitedus seven months later, they
might have extended their trip to the Cap
itai of our State.
We have not space for even brief
outline of their remarks. Amid the cheers
Of the citizens, the music Of the band and
the putting of the steamers, the happy
throng took their departure from the shores
Of Iowa.--Ti- W'eetly Satnfd'a.

UsFAR.-Thc Davenport Gazette copies
m article from the Burlington Hawkeye IN
which Mr.. Hampstead is charged with hav-
ino vetoed prohibitory liquor law two
wears aro. This the Gazette must know 10
be untrue. as no such bin was ever passed
by the Legislature, and consequently no snch
bill could have been vetoed.-Dnbuque Her-
aid.
We wouldn't do anything that is unfair
against Mr.. Hampstead, as there is in all
conscience sufficient fair and just accusa'
,ions brought against him to condemn MIN
with all honorable men. We, therefore,
in Justice publish the above; whlie at 'ne
same time, upon the authority OF his mouth
piece, the Dubuque Erpress, we must state
that "Mr. Hampstead is opposed to the IN
PRODUCTION of prohibtory liquor law in the
state" II then he did not veto such Dill
i was simply because he did not get the
opportunity.

More Injunctions.

m0Te AuJuuCtlonS.
The City Fathers of St. Louis, with dis
cretion which does them justice, have passe,
the preamble and resolution which will b,
found below. While these efforts are be
ing made to stop their operations, we are
! pleased to see the contractors are busily EN-
Iploycd on the work, showing the people o.
St. Louis and Burlington good example
BY mindne their own business. The St
Louis InteHigenc,r Of the 3lst ult says
The following resolution, reported by a
committee 30 whom the subject OF the Rock
Island Bridge was referred, was introduced
in the City Council last evening, and adopt
ed in both Boards unanimously:
/ Whereas, The free and uninterrupted
navigation of the Mississippi river is deemed
to be Of essential and vital Importance to
the trade and commerce of the city Of ST.
Louis; and whereas, the erection of bridge
across the Mississippi river on the plan
contemplated, at or near the town of Rock
Island, in the State of Illinois, iii is believed
will prove an obstruction to the free navi-
CATION Of said river, and )nsequenty detri-
mental to the interests of this city,
I Therefore, be IL Reso'red, By the City
Council Of the City of St. Louis, that the
Mayor be instructed to procure the interfer-
enee of the State OF Missouri in preventing
the erection of the said bridge, by an apph-
cation in the Supreme Court Of the United
States for a writ of Injunction, restraining
the building of the same. And the Mayor
is hereby authorized and empowered to en-
ploy such counsel and means, as in his
opinion, may be necessary to effect this
object.

lowing paragraph squirting at another in
