WESTERN LAND AGENCY OF \. j. aGALLo-
WAY 4 Co., CnICAGo.-We are in receipt Of
a well printed pamphlet of some 50 pages,
containing descriptive list Of the lands for
sale at the above agency, together with much
useful information in reference to the capaci-
ty of, and proper mode of opening new
farms in Illinois. The list embraces lands in
about every county in the state penetrated
BY the Illinois Central railroad, most Of them
choice tracts, and are offered generally on
long time, and at low rate Of interest
There has, for the last year or two, been
quite fever in reference to Iowa lands !;
but, as we are satisfied, from a perusal Of
this pamphlet that much cheaper, and as
good and better lands, nearer to railroads
and market, can at this day be purchased Of
A. j. Galloway & Co. than anywhere in
Iowa. All the government lands in that
state worth having have long ago gone into
the hands of spectators, and as the rush Of
emigration continues, are held at prices at
least SO per cent. above much better tracts
in Illinois. Any eastern man, on his way to
Iowa, can satisfy himself fully on this head
if he will first call on A. j. G. & Co., at
Chicago.

Terrible Calamity at Rock Island.

The river at Rock Island, on Tuesday last
was the scene of serious calamity, resulting
in the loss Of one Of the finest boats on the
Mississippi river, and in serious injury to,
while proving nearly the destruction of the
noble railroad bridge just erected there. The
boat destroyed was a new steamer, built only
last fall in Cincinnati, and owned by the
Captain. second clerk and engineer, who
were all on board Of her at the time OF the
disaster Sac was acknowledged TO be the
finest boat that has appeared in these waters
for many years. She was beautifully fur
nishcd. Her machinery was looked at and
admired az samples of the finest workman
ship. She was valued at $50, OOO-was $40
tons burden-was loaded with groceries.
machinery, emgrants and live stock, bound
to 81. Paul and intermediate ports.
\ correspondent, an eye witness, gives Us
the following account Of the calamity:
Rock ISLAND, April 6, 1856.
Mr.. Editor-We have just witnessed one
Of the most appalling ca!amities that has
ever occurred here. The river is quite high,
and the wind blowing hurricane for some
days past, the boats have not been able 10
pass through the draw of the bridge. SIEVE
raj boats tried to get up yesterday, but did
not succeed. \ boat called the Ellie Alton
started out this morning to go up. When
she got through t e draw she ung on the
pier, and then the bows went under the
bridge, which tore down her chimney and
stove in her cabin. In few minutes the
upper works were a perfect wreck, and, to
cap the climax, the boat now took fire and
burnt down to her hull. The fire also com
muncated to the railroad bridge, and carried
away one span. The boat was heavily la
den, and boat and cargo are a total loss
There was quite lot Of stock on board, all
of which is lost don't think there were
any lives lost, although there are different
reports about it, was an eye witness of
the scene SUBSCRIBER.

Many changes have been brought aboutic
words and languages by causes similar to
those which DR.. Hoyt has SO ably designated
as producing the varieties of the human kind
and especially the changes Of color.
Does it follow, from these arbitrary varie-
ties of words and languages, that man origin
ally invented speech Then could we also
assert that the deaf mute have, or could have
invented the finger language for it certainly
consists in most arbitrary variety of signs.
By the way, does not DR.. Hoyt give an ar
6itrdry meaning to the word invent? Per-
haps misunderstanding is the only cause Of
our opposition.
Mr.. Hoyt, in taking up the natural history
Of man, may lay the Bible psde but if he
wishes to prove "the annals of that sacred
book" he must not draw conclusions which
contradict any statement Of the Bible. have
quoted the Bible against him because he pro-

in his able lectures, it was f)r truths sake
and not through any spirit of opposition The
lectures contain a great deal Of useful and in

clearness anl concision and Dr.. Hoyt may
rest assured that have a due regard for bis
Iabors and the noble end which he processes

,Tfe First Fremont Pole.

The First Fremont Pole in North Western
Ohio, will be erected By our friend Lang,n-
derfer, the model landlord of the American
House, in Maumee City, on the Fourth Of
July. Mr.. L is an intelligent, cnterprising,
and influential Gsrman-has alwaya been an
active Wing, but could not 60 with The Re
publicans last fall on account Of the Know
Nothing question. He now goes for Fremont
and Dayton with a hearty good will. This
is but prominent indication of the political
current all over the country. We could fill
our columns with the names Of prominent
democrats, Germans, AMI German papers
that are constantly uniling with the Repub'i.
cans. The triumph Of 1910 awaits the friend:
Of Freedom in November next.

A DrFAULrER,-DAy avid Clark, Treasurer OF
Montgomery county, is reported to be de-
fultgr to the amount of about $50 .OOO.-
This man CLARK was formerly Whie, but
turned his coat TO get the pockets on the in
side was elected Treasurer, became editor
Of the Dayton Empire, one Of the most vio-
lent Democratic sheets in OHIO, and was 9TH
erwsc fOndled by the adopted party mother,
whose pap inspired him with even more
of the terrible than is to be found among the
natural children Of the 'unterrifed democra-
cy.' He was among the most rampant Of
those county treasurers who undertook 10 en-
force the crowbar law by violence, and if we
are not mistaken, he broke open the vaults
Of some Of the Dayton banks and fJrcibly
satisfied his pretended claim. Among
all the crowd at the 8lh of January conycn-
ton in 1855, Daniel Clark was the creates,
lon--he was Tom Hyer among school chill
drCn. These are some of the prominent land
marks in his brief careei. They serve to show
that a violent politician and viylent officer
makes dear agent for the people, however
much hs may be fondled and caressed by a
party.

Two Strings to the Fiddle.

Those Democrats who support Buchanan and
his ministerial brother, have two strings to their
fiddle South Of Mason's ond Dixon's line they
go for The democratic candidates because they
stand on the Cincinnat platform, and Buchan-
ans name Is never heard--itis all the platforms
Here at the north, quite adfferent course is la
ken. Buchanan has the inside track, and the
platform is never mentioned by democrats, and
when their attention is called to it by Republi
cans, the invariable reply is that Buchanan
win spit upon it," Perhaps he may do so, but
in his address to the democratic club few days
since, that "the platform met with his entire
appreciation" no such evidence can be found
more onesided, one idea platform never was
erected for mortal man TO stand upon. Such
planks rs opposition to United States Bank,
&c, ore mere oatch-pcnny affairs, thrown in to
entce the careless onto the main plank. No
man can candidly read the Cincinnati platform
and not discover that every emotion which die
tated it was prompted by wish for the exten-
sion Of slavery. And yet, with this plain,
bare-faced proposition before them. there are
men in the north who, while they profess to be
opposed to the further extension of human bond
age, are determined to vote for its unlimited pow
cr, extension, and duration; and this because
the tyrant bantling is nursed by their party!
Thus thousands Of men ever stand upon the
political party floor, ready, willing, and anxious
to dance to any tune and cut any figure thatthc
dancing masters may command. Thinking for
themselves and acting upon maturcd convic-
tons Of duty, forms no part of their creed
These are dangerous men, because they are the
source from whence the vilest dcmagogues de-
rive their support and snstenance.

ES' Our exchanges from wheat growing
counties, with few exceptions, report all right
for an abundant harvest. In some of the
southern counties, the fields of bright, wa
wing grain have been entered and the work
Of gathering commenced. There is a fair
prospect Of an increased reduction in the
price Of Jreadslufis, and flour viii not be over

Unless the wages OF labor can be increased,
we shall at least hope that such may be the

Who INVENTED SrEEcu Two learned
gentlemen are discussing this subject through
our columns. One contends that man inyen-
ted it, and the other holds that it originated
with God. We confess that our opinion on
that subject has underwent no change, and it
is tbs thai speech is a creeture Of instinct,
just as natural to mankind as barking is to
dogs. singing to birds, neigbing to horses, OR
braying to asses. As God is the author Of
our natural, or instructive abilities, He may
be said to be he originator OF speech. Men
may invent differen. forms of speech, accor-
ding to circumstances, but all classes of men
have alanguoge, embracing a variety Of words,
Of actual Significance and meaning. We re-
peat, then, that language is natural to man in
some form, but may be modified by linn at
viii. Bo.h of The learned gentlemen are
doubtless partially correct, and we would
move that they unite upon this platform,
