RIVER NEWS.

o. The popular steamer Excelsior came in even
ing before last, with large cargo of freight. She
left St. Louis with nearly five hundred tons aboard.
To her obliging Clerk, Mr.. Thomas Owens, we are
indebted for her huge manifest. She left yesterday
evening for st. Louis.
o. The War Eagle came in night before last
To her Clerk, Mr.. J. 8. PIN, we are indebted for
late Galena papers. She left yesterday evening for
Dunleith.
% The Luella also came in yesterday morning
She leaves to-day. E.
9U- The Black Hawk and the J. B. Gordon went
up the Minnesota yesterday, heavily laden. The
Time and Tide had not returned yesterday evening.
MEMoRANDA.-The Excelsior delivered at vari.

DENrIsrRY.-We take great pleasure in
calling the attention of our citizens to the
card of DIR. PRICE, who, for several years,
occupied a very prominent position among
the Surgeon Dentists of st. Louis, as rap.
id and skilful operator and eminently ingen.
ious mechanical dentist. Having visited
his well furnished rooms over Combs Book
Store, and witnessed several operations in
the tooth pulling and filling line, under the
administration of chloroform and otherwise
We can readily bear witness to the truthful
ness of the high encomiums passed upon his
skill by the members Of his profession and
the citizens of St. Louis. His specimens of
artificial teeth, both upon gold and platina
plate, evince exquisite mechanism.

The Alleged Rape Case-Drs. sanford
and Hamilton Admitted to Bail.

BY consent of the parties in this case, all
further investigation b, fore Justice Bostwick
was waived this morning, and Dr. Sanford was
fully committed to Jail for trial. This action
bringing the matter within the jurisdiction of
the County Count, the parties demanded bail,
and being arraigned before Judge Humphrey
DR.. Sanford was held in the sum of 81 900 for
his appearance at the next term of the Coun-
ty Court. DR.. Hamilton was held in the
sum of 5000 for his appearance at the same
Court
Mr.. Underwood, counsel of DIR. Hamilton,
objected to the amount of bail demanded in
his case, and regarded it as excessive, advised
his client to decline furnishing it for the pres.
ant. Acting upon this advice, DR.. Hamilton
was remanded to jail, and up to the time of
writing this, remains in durance and subject
to examination before Justice Bostwick, his
final commitment being withheld by that mag
istrate.
Further investigation in the case of DR.. San
ford will be prosecuted by the next Grand
jury, and in the event of an indictment being
found, he will be- tried before Judge Hum
phrey.
We learn that much testimony will be- ad-
duced on both sides in addition to that al
ready ELECTED, and that portion of it will be
OF an important character Of considerable in
terest. The trials of the accused will be pros
ecuted separately.-Au urn IN. W Adver-

A SHIP YARD-The steamer J. B. Cor.
don during her last two trips up the MINES
ota River received such injuries that it be-
came necessary to lay her up for repairs
but instead of going below, as has been
usual, her Captain had her hauled out upon
the Island opposite the city, which was done
with great ease. The boat was speedily
put in proper order, although the damage
inflicted by snag to some of her bottom
timbers was quite serious
Why does not some enterprising person
start ship yard here? There is, we are
told, unsurpassed advantages, and vessels
might just as well be repaired here as at
Rock Island Or other places. Whoever
takes hold of the matter cannot fail to make
it profitable one.

HERoIsx REwAkDED.-Mrs. Becker, the
heroine who last fall saved the lives of boats
crew of several sailors, off Long Point, Lake
Erie, has been presented with purse of 5000,
raised by private subscription in Canada
Capt. E. p. Dorr, of Buffalo, started the sub
scription. Mrs. Becker expressed the desire
that the money should be appropriated toward
the education of her children--a noble purpose
When Captain Paxton, the agent of the fund,
made the gift, she said, "she would thank him
if she knew how which sentiment shows the
nobility of her soul. She knew how to save
the lives Of seven perishing sailors, in six feet
of water, but did notknow how to acknowledge
the reward! Mrs. Becker is large, masculine
woman, stands about six feet in her stockings,
weighs about 200 pounds, was born in Canada,
and is about 80 years old. She lives on the
Island of London Point, with her husband and
they gain their subsistence by fishing.

KIDSAPPINe.-A printer in New York, who
had got tipsy on the 4th of July, found him.
self in the morning on board the brigantine
Isaiah, bound for Halifax, as recruit for the
Crimea. A Frenchman aod six Germans
shared his fate. One of the Germans had been
inveigled on board under false pretences He
was from Schenectady, and had come to New
York to find employment. On inquiring at
an intelligence Office, he was promised berth
aboard vessel, where he was told he would
have good pay and light work and his sur
prise was great when he found himself bound
for the seat of war.
The printer and the Schenectady German
escaped after reaching Halifax, but their COM
Panions were probably carried off to the East.
This is fine business, allowing the agents of
the British government to carry on their crimp-
ing operations in our ports.

Murder at Centervillc.

A most horrible murder was COM
mitted yesterday afternoon, at Centervile, in
this county, of which we have been only able
to gain the following particulars:
A man named Weingate, fifty years Of age,
and having wife and eight children, was killed
by young man by the name of Saltzenberg-
er, both residents of Centerville. The quarrel
occurred between them-the cause of which
we have not learned-in which the old man at
tempted to stab the boy. The latter then pro-
cured shot gun, and discharged its contents
into the abdomen of the latter. Weingart
lived about ON hour and half, when he ex-
pired in great agony.
The murderer was brought to this city last
night and lodged in Jail. In day or two we
nope 70 learn further particulars Belleville

TREATMENT of DEBAR's BoDY.-The editor
OF the Ozaukee Advertiser, who was present
at West Bend on Tuesday, says that after the
body OF DeBar had been hanging by the feet
Tor ten or fifteen minutes, the rope was then

him again with clubs.

The returns from Iowa wear most
cheering aspect. The Democracy has ris-
en-, and Know N othingism, which year
ago was all powerful has been made to bite
the dust in disgrace in many places where
it before stood triumphant. We give be-
low, some items from the Iowa Capital Re
porter: [-
LEE Co.-The Know othings know less
than ever in Lee Co., to Judge by returns, Civ
ing an average Democratic majority OF SO !;
where four months ago, the HindOos swept the
board with majorities over two hundred. Good
for Lee. Samuel Boyles is elected County
Judge.
DUBUQUE.--This stronghold of Democracy,
has knocked the American democratic house
hold higher than kite. They are "did and
done for" to all time Ex.Gov. Hampstead is
elected County Judge by nearly five hundred
majority and Michael o 'Brien, an honorable
Catholic 1rishman, is reelected to the Record
ership.
BOONE Co.-The entire democratic ticket
elected by over one hundred majority; Mont
gomery being elected County Judge, and Chit.
wood reelected Sheriff
DALLAS CO--Better Better Best! The
Hindoos are also defunct in Dallas. Keep the
ball rolling.
BUCHANAN Co.-Roszell, democratic, has
been elected in this county by majority Of
two hundred over the Republican candidate
and all the rest of the democratic ticket by
large majorities excepting Surveyor.
JEFFERSON Co.-All the townships are in
and give McCuiloch, democratic candidate fol
County Judge, a majority of 70. Last Aug
the county went against the democracy about
1874.
| BENTON CO.--Democratic ticket ahead.
HENRY Co.-Democrats knocked Know
Nothings into "smitherecns''
SCorT CO.-Democrats have given DARK
Lanternism a signal and overwhelming de-
feat.
Iowa Co.-Democracy has triumped.
VAN buren, Co.-Democracy in the ascen
dancy.
LINN Co.--A local issue democrats
ahead.
Cedar, Louisa, Delaware, Des Moines ani
Jackson Counties have sacrificed to Hin
dooism.
Good for Iowa and the Democracy!

D6rA meeting of Germans was held in the
Court House last evening. It was gotten up
we have understood from Germans, for the
purpose of denouncing Know Nothingism, the
Maine Law and Slavery, but by the exertions
of the boilers from the Democratic Convection,
it was turned into an Olmsted meeting Dem.
Ocrat.
A more deliberate perversion of the truth
could not have been made had it been tried.
The writer of the above ought to have
known, and doubtless did know at the time
he was penning his fragrant falsehood, that
the Germans were called together to con.
slider who among the candidates in the field
for Delegate to Congress, should be recog-
nized and approved by them. He must
have had knowledge that at this meeting
the candidates were expected to make
known in writing their opinions upon the
three great political questions of the day,
and knowing it has made himself guilty of
contemplate trick to avoid stating the
truth.
1t was meeting of Germans anxious to
satisfy their political opinions, and it be-
came an OIMsrED meeting only, when that
gentleman's sentiments were made known,
and approved by acclamation 1t did not
become RICE meeting because that indi-
vidual insulted the Germans with tergiv-
eisating answer to plain question, and
they cast him aside as thing unworthy
their confidence, while at the same time they
pledged to Mr.. OLMsrED thcir support with
all their might.
The RICE organ is getting into desper-
ate strait when it resorts to such miserable
fabrications as this, to save itself from the
appearance Of being driven to the wall.

We publish below the letter of the Hon.
John L. Dawson, to the President of the I'm
tied States, declining the appointment tender
ed him, of Governor of Kansas Territory:
....- BROWNSVILLE, Aug. 9, 1855.
MY DEAR Sir On my return home this
evening, after an absence of several weeks, I
find your letter of the 18th ult, rendering to
me the appointment OF Governor of the Terri
tory of Kansas.
This distinguished mark of your favor and
esteem, and the very fattering terms in which
it is conveyed to me elicit my grateful acknow-
ments.
My private affairs prevent the acceptance OF
the honorable and responsible trust which
your confidence and good opinion would com.
NIT to me. .a.
With but little taste for public life, and with
deep attachment to my home and my native
State, l could not consent to change my resi-
dence but am constrained by every cherish
ed consideration to remain in a community
whose confidence l have enjoyed, and of whose
good will I have the most positive and repeat
ed testimonials.
shall ever hold in grateful recollection this
evidence of your appreciation, and the more
because it was unsolicited and unexpected.
Accept assurances of my high regard and
best wishes for the success of your administr /
ton, and believe me, truly your friend,
JOHN L. DAWSON.
