ALL At lT.-The last intelligence is that
Mr.. Atchison is not alone in his Infamous glo-
ny as leader of the Missouri mob; but that
Col. Doniphan, the Wing nominee for U. S.
Senator is acting with him in supervising the
Kansas outrages. Each Senatorial candidate
of course (says the writer Of the communi-
cation to the Missouri DEMOCRACY thought i.
polite not to allow himself to be ortdone in
zeal and devotion in that cause by his Gem
petitor, and each accordingly did his best to
regulate the domestic concerns of his neigh
bors in his own way. Ambitious Missouri

From the Gate City.
BROUGHT UP STANDING.

1t appears from the following letter from a
reliable citizen of the Valley, that the Des
Moines Navigation Company have run on to
"Sawyer.'' We shall have to await fur
Their developments before we shall be able to
report the extent of the ''injury sustained"
in consequence of this 'ssudlen collision"
MEssRs. EplToLs: have it from. the best
authority, that Gov. Grimes has refused to
make deed to the New York Company for
river lands. This news is hailed with Joy in
the valley of the Des Moines. The people
know that the company have failed to COM
ply with their contract with the State. Why
should the State give ny the only means which
she holds to compel them to do right? They
claim deed for eighty light thousand acres
Of land. This takes all the river lands from
the mouth of the river up to Polk County,
and three townships above Fort Des Moines
If this deed is made, that is the end Of the
River Improvement.
Gov. Grimes understands it, and in him
we have hope. Yours, &C., I. B.

A Trip to the Garden City.

Having heard much Of the Chicagoand
Burlington Railroad, its smooth and well
adjusted condition, the beauty and fertili-
ty Of the country through which it passes,
and the systematic, careful and satisfacto-
ry manner its business was conducted in
all the departments, we concluded, last
week to make run to Chicago. We left
East Burlington on evening train, and
had moonlight view Of beautiful and
fertile country, which, ere many years, will
add very largely to the products OF the
West. We had an occasional view Of lux
uriant fields Of grain, waving grass, and
growing corn. We here hurried over I'M
n,cnse prairies with an cxpanse OF verdure
that wearied the eye. in its contemplation,
dotted with $40" and $50" acre improve
mcnts. that looked in the distance like
miniature garden enclosures. Anon dash
ing through narrow margin OF woodland
over bridge, and again upon the prairie,
with hamlets and perhaps an incipient VII
lape in view, with its bright, newly erected
and painted houses, its neat school aud
meeting houses, stores and shops fo1
a country SO new, SO recently ga terra In
cognita," it would be difficult outside OF
Iowa, to show more rapid growth than
that Of our sister State, and more especial
" of that part of the State traversed by the
Burlington and Chicago Railroad.
In this connection it will be but justice
to saw that the Chicago and Burlington
Road iustifes all that has been said OF 1T
II lisa number one Road-inferior in NJ
.respcct to the FIRST class Eastern Roads
A smooth and we'll adjusted track, goot
and substantial bridging, as good locomo
tiyes and cars as are manufactured IN tn
country, and sober, careful and expe
rienced men employed in every department
And among the employees Of the compa
nv We desire to bear our testimony In ia
yor Of the courteous Conductor OF tn
night Express train, Mr.. T. A. Copy
He is the prince of good fellows mode
Conductor, and in the highest and bes
sense of that much abused term GE,
TLEMAN.
As we have not, either the time or til
room to devote to lengthy description {
our trip or suitable notice OF Chicago
we shall recur to the subject in some FL
ture issue.

s@- At Northampton, Mass, a couple
of weeks since, teacher of singing while
on his way to fulfill an engagement in a
neighboring town, happened to sneeze just
as he was passing the bridge over deep
ditch, and the effort threw the set Of false
teeth from his mouth, dropping them into
water from 10 to 10 feet deep All efforts
to regain them proved unayailing. The
teachers engagement, Of course, had to be
postponed, as he was unable to sing with an
empty mouth.

Peoria and Oquawka Railroad.

G. A. BALANCE, Mayor OF Peoria, in
a special message to the Board of Alder
men, charges gross frauds and mismanage-
ment upon the President and Directors of
the above Road. According to his state
ment, which is not very clear, it seems
that the officers Of the Road have let the
work to portion or all Of the directors, as
contractors, in such manner as to destroy
the capital stock and really make it the
property Of the contractors at the end Of
ten years. But as his honor, Mayor Bal
ance, according to his own statement, was
also bidder for the work, and as matter
Of course, was disappointed, and as his
statement was made in a manner exhibit
ing some feeling, and with Interior ends in
view perhaps, the amount of the swindle
may be exaggerated or over-estimated.-
This, we hope, will turn out to be the case.
But the general fact of peculation, of plum
der of the stockholders by the officers for
their own and the benefit Of their friends,
is 80 COMMON and NATURAL that we are
ready to credit it.
Whenever any clear and tangible expose
of the management OF the Road is made,
we shall publishit.

lie on both sides Of the River will be glad
to learn that the new Directors are about tx
make such arrangements as will ensure reg

Defeat ofthe Rebels at Canton Shanghai
Re-token by the Inperialists and Fright
.ful slaughter.
From the Correspondence Of he London News
HoNo KoNe, March Is.
The events Of the month elapsed since the
date of the departure of the last mail steam
or are more marked by stirring events than
for many months previously.
Affairs at Canton look more settled; for
the time, at all events, the rebels have been
driven away from the city. The blockade
has been put a stop to; and by combined
movement Of the imperial soldiers and the
people. Canton and the forts in its neigh
borhood have been freed from the terror
spreading horrors of the insurgents. On the
9th inst, the Rebels at Blenheim Reach were
taken by surprise, fed precipitately in boats
down the river, and for the most part escap-
ed, the imperalists being too well pleased to
regain possession of the forts.
The other strnngholds Of the insurgents
also fell into the hands Of the imperalists,
who are reported to have effected their OBJ
! ject by buying UP the ringleaders. The i'm
nerialists have made shocking use of their
triumph. The place Of execution has been
vast image field, where hundreds have
| daily been put to death in the hope Of strik-
ing terror into the minds Of the population
At Shanghai, also, the inperialists have
succeeded in recapturing the city, followed
| by frightful atrocities in revenge for oppos-
ing the imperial rule. Beyond the mere fac
Of the capture of the city, little more;s known
with certainty, the accounts being very con-
fcting. All accounts agree in representing
the foul ATROCITIES committed by the manda-
rims. Nearly five hundred prisoners have
| been put to death, and some were tortured
in the most frightful manner before being
put out of the way. Some of the rebe
chiefs have succeeded in esca.ing, but by fan
the greater number of the ringleaders have
| found themsely in the hands Of their unre-
lenting enemy.
