BuLLARD's PANoRAMA of New York
City will open this evening at the German
Theatre, and will remain in Davenport dur:
ing the week This celebrated work has
been on exhibition for number Of wears.
and has been visited by thousands, all Of
whom pronounce it a truthful picture of
the great metropolis
The Cincinnati Times saws of it:
"The Panorama Of New York City is still
the object Of attraction for u large portion
OF our citizens and strangers in our city.
The Panorama processes 10 give New York
as 1t H. and II does it, ANY one who has
visited the city will bear testimony 10 the
fidelity OF the representations. The city is
there before you, with all the activity and
hustle which distinguish it, 1t is not prob
able that in any one day you will see the
same variety Of human life which the Pano-
rama presents; but he who trayerses Broad
way for limited period will see it all.
Those who have not been able to see but IA
small portion Of the city, will readily be-
ileve from the fidelity with which that por-
tion is presented TO them, that the part they
have not seen is delineated with equal
truth. you wish to see New York as it
Is, You have nothing to do but to see the
Panorama. You may sit at your ease and
see more OF 1t than you could in many hours
travel in the city itself" ~

st. Paul, July 30,
(via Dubuque, 81, Col. Nobles,t the
Superintendent of the wagon road to
the South Pass, is now in this city.
The expedition is for the present sus-
pended. His encampment west of
the Big Sioux River having been bro
ken up on the 18th inst, on account of
further progress being violently oppo-
sed by the Yankton Indians. He re-
treated to Big Woods, about so miles
west of Fort Ridgely.
The objection raised by the Yantons
to Col. Mobiles party crossing their
country was, that they would frighten
away the bufialoes, their only means OF
subsistence. Col. Mobiles, before leav-
ing the Indians, appointed the goth OF
August to hold a council with the
lanktons for the purpose of treating
for the right of way across the terri
tory. Should negotiations fail, it is
the intention Of Col. MOBILES to proceed
with the duties assigned by govern
ment despite hostilities.

WORTH kNowING.-One pound If green
copperas, costing seven cents, dissolved in
one quart OF water, and poured down a
privy, will etfectually concentrate and de-
strov the foulest smells
For water closets aboard Of ship, and
steamboats, about hotels, and other public
places, there is nothing ST. nice To cleanse
places as simple green copperas dissolved
and for the sick rooms, it may be placed
under the bed in any thing that will hold
water, and thus render hospital or other
places for the sick, free from unpleasant
smells
For butchers stalls fish markets, slaugh-
ter houses, sinks, and wherever there are
offensive putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle it about and in few DAYS
the smell will pass away If cat. rat or
mouse dies about the house, and sends forth
an offensive gas, place some dissolved cop
peras In an open vessel near the place
where the nuisance is, and it will soon puri-
fy the atmosphere.

The city was quite brisk with bust
ness yesterday, notwithstanding the harvest
season, and the great attractions of the ra-
ces, to which large number of people from
this side and Rock Island thronged to enjoy
the sport Of the pacing match. We trust
the dul.est portion Of the season is now
over. and with it the heart rending COM
plants Of those who have been doing
nothing" all the season. We noticed that
several additions were made to the popula-
ton Of Iowa last Saturday in the way of
immigration, which we are glad to observe
has not entirely g. dried up for the season.
Nor will it. The superior inducements held
out in Iowa to those who desire comfortable
are calling away the Eastern population by
hundreds and thousands, and it is within
the boundaries Of this State that a large
portion Of the Western influx finds home.
The grain market will soon be open, which
will put into circulation q vast amount of
funds. which are now being held for the
especial purpose Of huying wheat, and this
will have the effect to rcvivify the general
business of Davenport We trust so-aud
expect it will.

The FIRE.-The loss of property,
in buildings, at the fire on Saturday morn
ing, rests with the Peoria Fire and Marine
Insurance Company to the amount of $1,000
and We might say with much truth there is
no company in existence that is more ready
to settle its losses Miss kenwick's stock
was insured in the Western Massachusetts,
Company to the amount of 81 900, which
will probably more than cover the loss b.
HSweeney 4 Co.. Bakers and Confectioners,
were uninsured, and had large portion Of
their property consumed. The brick house
occupied by Mr.. Caldwell was considerably
damaged-the roof being broken through
and the whole house drenched with water.
