IMMIGRArIoN.-From the number OF
immigrant families which crossed the
upper ferry with their wagons, cattle
&c, during the past week, we have
endeavored, by taking them as an
average, to compute the whole number
which have crossed since the 18th Of
April up to the 9Th day Of July. e
Having the total number Of wagons
as base to calculate from, we find
that there has been Sl2 families, con-
sisting of 4,504 membe RS having in
their possession 1881 wagons. LIPS
head of horses, and 1922, head of
cattle. Should we take an average
Of the sheep, we would find them to
reach the high figure Of ll,70O.
This, from but one of the portals of
our State, shows plainly that the
people abroad form no mean estimate
of her MISUNDERSTANDING Express

The Heading to our Paper.

All who have examined the heading
to our paper and it's electrotype en-
craving, or plate, have not failed to
express their admiration of it. 1t was
designed by ourselves and the work
was ecuted at the tasty and superb
or type foundry establishment Of
Messrs. Phelps g. Dalton, 50 Washing
ton street, Boston. The State seal or
coat of arms of Iowa, inserted in the
head, is the hansomest we have seen.
What motives or ideas actuated the
designers of the seal we are unable to
say. The bird upon it is said to be
hawk, on which account, we suppose,
Iowa is called the hawk-eye State
Had it been an eagle it would be easy
to picture to the imagination how
Americas proud bird has extended his
dominions, until crossing the Missis-
sippi. into Iowa, he has wrested from
the Indian the finest land in the world
and in triumph scars aloft holding his
bow in his talons and his arrow in his
beak. Thus giving to civilization and
Christianity territory Of unsurpassed
grandeur and beauty, which the untu
tored savage could not and would not
improve for the benefit of himself OF
the world at large.

Foreign Intelligence.

The London papers contain the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
Negotiations between England and
the U. States in regard to existing
difficulties, We're received on the 3Oth,
under circumstances which justified
the belief that matters are already in
fair condition towards amicable ad-
justment of the points at issue.
The following is the only reference
that has been made to America since
the sailing of the Fulton:
Mr.. Bailie asked Lord Palmerston
whether Mr.. Dallas, as representative
to her Majesty's Government, had full
power to settle the Central American
dispute, or whether he had any other
powers than those of Mr.. Buchanan.
Palmerston said it was understood
that Mr.. Dallas had full power to dis
cuss the Central American affairs,
and Buchanan had none at all. The
weather continued magnificent for
harvest, and another fortnight would
secure farmers from any change in
their prospects.
FRANcE.-Reports have been for some
time current, that an unpleasantness
existed between the Courts of France
and Russia, and that Count Morris's
departure for St. Petersburg was de-
layed in consequence. The difficulty
is probably arranged. A report Of
the Corps Legislative refusing to &C
cord to the Emperor the power Of
granting pensions, is published. 1t is
respectful, but firm, and is considered
the severest check Napoleon has met
from his government.
The bill granting a pension to the
Orleans Prince, was voted unanimous
ly, although Count Montalburt wrote
a strong letter against it. The Ouch
ess of SAKE Coburg Indignantly re-
fused the money. The projected
meeting between the Emperors of
Austria and France is confirmed. Ac-
counts of the weather and crops
throughout the country, even in the
lately inundated districts, are favor
able. Harvesting had commenced in
the South. VINEYARDS look we'll.

Railroad Convention.

Asreeably to previous notice, a meeting OF
delegates from Chickasaw, Floyd and Ccrro
Gordo Counties was held at West Union in
Fayette county on the 23d inst, to express
their wishes in reference to the construction
of the McGregors, Missouri River and st. Pc
ters Falls Railroads Hon. A. l.. Collins of
ST. Charles was called to the Chair, and E. A.
Haskell of Bradford was appointed Secretary.
On notion it was
Resolved, That this convention concur in
the present movement for establishing rail-
road from McGregor's to West Union.
Resolved. that we recommend preliminary
survey to be continued wcstwardly from West
Union to some place at or near Clear Lake and
passinc as near as the nature of the ground Will
admit to Fredericksburg, Bradford, st. Charles,
Rockford and Mason City: ,,,r--r, ,crxrr,.
the foregoing resolution, we as delegates pledge
our respective counties to pay their proportion
of the necessary expense for a preliminary sur
vey.
Resolved that the proceedings of this meet
ing be laid before the Directors for thir appro-
val and cooperation.
Other resolutions were adopted proposing TO
meet the railroad directors in convention ON
subsequent day at some point west of there
probably ST. Charles. 1t was voted that the
proceedings be published in the Fayette Coun-
ty Pioneer and the ST. Charles Intelligencer
The delegations from this and neighboring
towns were large and enthusiastic in favor of
the railroad.
The Yves Union Pioneer says that the sur
vey of the route from McGregor to that place
shows that it is feasible From low water
mark at the Mississippi to the prairie summit
there is rise of $50 feet in six miles. This
is the worst part of the route The peo-
pie are strongly in favor Of the immediate con-
struetion of the road, and are disposed to sub
scribe literally for stock.

Rockford, situated about fourteen miles west
of st. Charles, at the junction of Lime Creek
with the Shell Rock, in this county, is new
town recently organized by some Eastern gen.
tlemen who are said to have the enterprise and
means to make it at once place of note.
Town lots there are selling at rapid rate, and
already there are a store, a hotel and several
dwellings there, and saw-mill is soon to be
completed and in operation. The water-power
there is good for this section of country, and
will undoubtedly answer the requirements Of
the place. Asuperior farming country stretch
es out on every hand

Pre-emptions on Railroad Land.

We are informed that Instructions have
been received from the Commissioner of the
General Land Office to permit prescriptions TO be
made upon the odd nunberd vcll as the even-nunsb-
cred sections Of land Waldrawn from market, by
virtue of the act of Congress making grant
of land to the State of Iowa for the construct
ion of Railroads. The order of the commits
sioner withdrawing the lands from market,
said nothing about pre-emptions as well as or
binary purchases. The officers refused to re-
ceive pre-emptions within the townships with
drawn, but the recent orders permit pre-emp-
tons on this land until the road is definitely
fixed. This fact-if made known through the
public journals-would turn a large emigra-
ton into this State, which is now going to
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska

80! the Poor Indian"

Several families of Winnebago Indians, men,
women and children, are now on a visit to st.
Charles, and have pitched their tents upon the
west bank of the river opposite the village
But few years have elapsed since this was
their hunting ground; and now to view the
cluster of white houses-the homes OF the
"pale faces bright like diamonds set in the
diadem of beatty, which have sprung into exis-
tence, as if by enchantment, upon the very
spot where SO lately the deer disported and the
buffalo roamed at will, must indeed strike
them with wonder and surprise, however much
they may affect stoical Indifference.
A day or two since, we noticed one OF the
chiefs, accompanied by his little son, passing
our office. He wore his mocasins and breech-
es of deer-skin and had sort of turban upon
his head, decorated with gaudy feathers. His
face was painted in the Ito us) most hideous
manner.
Wrapping his blanket around him, he NOV
ed with lofty tread and majestic mien; and
apparently regarded us, poor toiling whites,
with utmost contempt. Passing on few steps,
he threw his blanket upon the ground beneath
an oak and, seated upon it with his young
"brave,' he continued for some time to gaze
upon the landscape around. His thoughts we
could imagine, but no words escaped his lips.
What mighty change few years have
wrought in the character and aspect of thi
country! They have blotted forever from it
face whole peculiar people Art has usurpet
the powers of nature the children of educa
ton have been too powerful for the tribes O
the ignorant Here and there stricken few
remain but how unlike their bold, untamed
untamable progenitors! As Sprague has it
"The Indian of falcon glance, of lion bearing
the theme of the touching ballad the hero {
the pathetic tale, is gone! and his degrade
offspring crawl upon the soil where he Wake
. in majesty, to remind as how miserable is ma
when the foot of the conqueror is on hi
neck.
| As a race they have withcred from the lant
t Their arrows are broken, their springs are Or
G ed up. their cabins are in the dust. The
council fire has gone out on the eastern shor
: and their war-cry is fast dying towards ii
t western horizon. Slowly and sadly they elm
: the distant mountains and read their doom
d the setting sun. They are shrinking befo
!. the mighty tide which is pressing them ava.
;. they must soon hear the roar of the last way

Twenty car loads of large and very
fine looking cattle, which came from
the extreme western portion of Iowa,
passed the Central Railroad one day
last week, destined for New York
market. This we are told, is the first
time that cattle have been brought to
the East from the western side of the
Mississippi river. They were raised
near Council Bluffs, were driven afoot
to Davenport and there placed aboard
the cars.
