IOWA LANDS AND RAILROADS.

A bill has been passed by Congress
and signed by the President, granting
public lands to aid the construction of
no less than four lines Of railway across
the entire State of Iowa. One of these
lines is to run from Burlington west to
the Missouri river, at or below the
mouth of the Platte river; another from
Davenport to Council Bluffs; another
from Lyons west to the Missouri; and
the fourth from Dubuque to Sioux
City. Each starts on the west bank
of the Missouri The grant of land
amounts to four millions three hundred
acres. This munifcent donation will
ensure the speedy construction Of the
roads in whose aid it is given, and de-
velop as if by magic. the immense re-
sources of the large and beautiful State
of Iowa. All the lands south of the
Dacorrah district have been temporarily
Withdrawn from market, to enable the
Railroad companies to make their selec-
ton. This will be a great incon-
venience to many who have gone to
Iowa to settle, and who viii not be able
to make immediate entries. 1t is the
intention Of the government, however,
to restore the lands to market at the
earliest practicable moment.
The building of these railroads will
be almost as beneficial to Nebraska as
to Iowa, and we arc much mistaken if
that Territory does not in a few years
far surpass her noisy sister Kansas in
population and general prosperity
We have heretofore advised ~peaceably-
disposed persons intending to settle in
the far west to avoid Kansas, and seek
a quiet home in Nebraska; and since
it is certain that In a few years no less
than four Railroads will stretch across
Iowa to the eastern front of Nebraska,
we wouldrepeatth the advice more strong
ly than ever. Iowa will soon be filed
up, and the food of emigration that
annually sweeps westward between the
10th and 42ndparallels of latitude will
bound across the Missouri and cover
the fruitful plains of Nebraska.
The Railroad from Burlington tothe
Missouri, which is partially built, will
be the feeder and receiver of that por-
ton of Nebraska lying South of the
river Platte, and which we regard as
the garden spot of the Territory. AS
this road will traverse the most popu-
lous part of Iowa, it will doubtless be
constructed at the earliest day. When
finished it viii afford the people Of
Southern Nebraska all needful facili-
ties for the exchange of commodities
with the East.

A stupendous fraud, involving about
100000 dollars worth of property,
was perpetrated in New York recently.
1t appears from the statements that
Mr.. James CARVE, an aged gentleman
of Glen Cove, L. l., was induced to
visit VIM. Hanna, a poor carpenter,
who was an old acquaintance, residing
at 1O3 Lewis street, New York. While
there. Hanna is charged. with having
got CARVE intoxicated, and kept him
so for four weeks, during which he OBJ
taiHed from him a power of attorney,
under which he collected moneys, and
obtained bills Of sale and titles for
100, 0e5 dollars worth of property
CARVE while so deranged was also in
duced to- make a will bequeathing all
his property to Hanna's daughter,
(making II. his executor) and then
promised to 90 to sea. He was by some
mistake permitted.t to get sober, when
the transactions alarmed him and he
applied to the Court. Hanna has been
arrested and committed to Jail in de-
fault Of 5000 dollars bail.

THE NEW MAGNETo.EIETR1CAI I1GHT--

The "Galvanic Light Company"
recently organized in England, claims
that the magneto-electrical light pro-
duced by machinery, of which they are
the inventors and patentees, is the most
perfect Illuminating agent hitherto
known. They have sent out one Of
their machines to this country, and it
is now being put up for the trial in the
upper part of Stillman, Allen & Co.'s
Novelty Iron Works in this city. The
light owes its origin to a magnetic cur
rent caused by the rapid revolutions of
a species of fy-wheel, on which are
fixed a series of magnets in close ~juxta-
position to another series that remain
stationary. The wheel, in the present
instance, revolves some 1000 or 5000
times a minute, and is driven by an
eight-horse power steam engine.
The Collins Steamship Company,
warned by the fate of the Pacific, are
thinking of fitting out the Adriatic as
a complete floating lighthouse, emitting
a light which not only cannot be mis-
taken by other vessels at whatever
distance, but which will illuminate the
ships track several miles ahead, and
render an approaching vessel, an ice
berg, or any other obstruction, almost
as visible as at MONDAY.
Prof. Grant, on this side of the water,
challenges a comparison of his calcium
light, produced by the action Of the
compound blow-pipe on common lime,
with the new light brought forward by
the English company. The challenge
has been accepted, and the trial, it is
stated, will come off in about four
weeks-as soon as the dark nights of
June commence. The two lights are
to be. exhibited at the same time and
the same place, in the vicinity Of this
city.-New York Post.

A Six SHOOTER BRIDE CAKE.-T,

A Six SHOOTER BRIDE CAKE.-The
bridal cake made for the occasion of
the marriage of Col. Sam. Colt, says
the Hartford Times, Monday, which,
to take place on Thursday Of this week,
is a splendid specimen of: the confec-
toners skill. There are three of the
cakes, which are about three feet in
height and some FIVE feetin cireumfer-
ence. They are deliberately ornament
ed with ''frosting," and bear the. Colt
coat of arms on the top-consisting Of
a number of colts rampant, with other
devices. @ In the depression upon. the
centre Of the topis alarge colt in sugar,
and in.front and rear of this, a pistol.
The top of the cake is surrounded with
eagles holding a bridal wreath, all
executed in the highest style Of the
confectioner's skill. A large number
of visitors have been to see them at the
rooms of the maker, N. Charles, in
Albany street, and the opinion of seye-
raj who have seen some of the most
elaborate specimens of ornamental cake
in Paris and London, is that these have
never been surpassed for beauty and
taste. They were taken to Middletown
this afternoon, where the weddings to
take place.

JOHNNY BULL eRUETs.

The London Star, speaking of the
effects of the warupon the people, says;
The effect of the expenses of the
war upon the people was remarkably
illustrated few days ago in the parish
of st. M~arylebone. For three or four
years past there has been in that
borough "a fourishing free library,
greatly rcsorted to by the working
classes, as well as by Others Of superior
condition. Sir Benjamin HALLS Presi-
dent of the institution, and it has been
fostered blythe mostIberal inhabitants
of the borough; yet, when it was pro-
posed the other night to bring this in
stitution under Mr.. Ewart's free libra
ries' act, the people of Marylebone at
once rejectedthe proposal, without even
waiting to hear it discussed.
The fact is, that at the present time
the people have to bear such serious
taxation that even another farthing in
the pound is a serious consideration.
And this ought to be considered by a
government which is squandering
thousands upon thousands in reiews
and in fireworks. Whilst they are
recklessly wasting heavy sums in gun
powder here are a body of rate-payera
refusing even a farthing rate to main
tain an institution of which. they them
selves SO largely take advantage.

MORALS AT SALT LAKE.-A traveller
who has recently visited the Salt Lake
settlement, gives a fearful picture Of
that degraded ''heaven upon earth" -
He says that amongst the revolving
features of Mormon institutions, that
which permits marriage between blood
relations is the worst. He has met
with numerous instances of men marry
ing both mother and daughter. A
Bishop of one of the wards married
six wives, all sisters and moreover his
own nieces. He mentions that Brigham
Young lately built a harem of stone to
cage his ninety beauties in, but they
all kicked against the arrangementand
asserted their right to be treated like
free born daughters of Eve. The
Governor, he says was obliged to cave
In.

Mr.. FILM0RE's ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOM.
NATION.

A Paris correspondent of the ". Y.
Herald, writing under date of the Dist
ult., states that Mr.. Fillmore has ac-
cepted the nomination of the Ameri-
can party. We quote from the letter :
"Mr. Fillmore arrived here yesterday
from Copenhagen. He left Rome with
a view to 60 to Russia, but found the
Baltic blocked with ice. So he returned
here, and will in a few days, leave for
England. You may expect him home
in four or five weeks. He looks re-
markably well, andI venture to say is
the most composed candidate for the
Presidency now extent. Mr.. fillmore
received the first official information Of
his nomination by the American party
in Venice, and a duplicate of it here
the day before yesterday. His accept
ance goes out by the same mail which
carries the letter. Mr.. f. endorses
the general principles of the platform,
and condems all sectional agitation.
He accepts the nomination as a nation

FROM SALT LAKE CITY.

/, A company of forty-fve persons,
under command of Capt. Snoot, ar
rived at Atchison on the 9th. They
left. Great Salt Lake on the 22d of
April. In the company were mission
aries for different parts of the world,
Chief Justice Kinney and family, the
United States Marshal for the Terri
tory, and a number of merchants, to-
gether with G.. A. Smith, appointed to
present the memorial to Congress for tie
admission of the State of Deseret into
the Union. For the first four hundred
miles the country was almost destitute
of grass. AT the South Pass they en-
countered a snow storm, which con-
tinued ffty-six hours. 1t was with
difficulty hat the animals could be kept
alive by covering them with bedding
and feeding them with. breadstuf.-
There was plenty of grass in the Black
Snake hills, though the g~rasshoppers
were very numerous. The first emf
grants were met at the South Fork of
the Platte, and the party were not out
of sight of emigrant wagons for four
hundred miles. The emigrants are of
a valuable class, taking with them a
large quantity of stock. The officers
of the military posts treated them with
great kindness. All the Indiansseemed
friendly, except q band of Shayennes.
who committed some depredations upon
~emigrants in the neighborhood of Little
Blue.-&. Louis Republican.
