large power press upon which our daily and
weekly papers are printed; but its usefulness
10 more than proportioned to its cost, and a
better and more satisfactory Investment in
the printing business could hardly be made.
Any kind of work, coarse or fine, from the
handbill of large typeGto the delicate script
circular, is discharged from it with equal
beauty and speed. 1t is strong, simple, CON-
pact, easily adjusted to any form, quickly
"made ready" not liable to get out Of order,
and always available on the instant. 1t op-
crates with two cylinders, one to receive and
one to discharge the sheets, by which simple
arrangement all tapes, strings, etc., are dis
pensed with, and the movement is easy and
quiet We cheerfully add our testimony to
its excellence, and assure our brethren OF
the craft that it is all that it is represented
to be by its proprietors.

FIRST proven press of any size brought into
the city. 1t has been running in this Office
for nearly two years. The design OF its in

answer for printing Offices where cylinder

that design he has been eminently successful.

ed for that purpose, can be employed upon
book and pamphlet work, and many kinds Of
lobbing. In any department, it's execution
is excellent. The general appearance of our
daily and weekly papers will testify to its
capacity for COED work. We have printed
several pamphlets at different times upon it.,
and they have been we'll done. The ssregis-

An OFFICER IN PuRsuir OF FuolrlyE.-On
last Saturday as the Die Vernon was leaving
iAe .aadtng a. canton, tne mate attacked one
OF the deck hands with club.
The persons on the wharf saw him beating
the deck hand while lying upon the deck
crying murder. On the return Of the boat,
an attempt WAS made to arrest the mate. but
ne was not to be found. 1t was said on the
boat that the man who was attacked was nut
on the Die Vernon below Alexandria. But
subsequently the statement was found TO not
be true, and the mysterious disappearance OF
the deck hand leJto suspicious. As the ID 10
vernon passed up the river on Thursday, the
mate was arrested at Canton, but he escap Cd
during the night. On Friday morning the
iusi'ive crossed on the ferry to this city.
yesterday an officer from Canton was in
search OF the offender, but We were not Alba

we have used it, it has cost us scarcely a
dollar for repairs, and has never failed US for

Robert J. Walker WAS sxpsotedsto arrive

this due to them. 1t Was part Of their tnhe-

and fairly, we shall thank him. Ii will pre-
serve peace in that Territory, whittier the
eyes OF our people are turned with so much
interest. II he does not, there will not be
peace. Neither Walker, nor the Federal Gov
eminent, nor the Border RufFans, nor Har-
ney with his dragons can carry out and en-
force in the future the policy hitherto pur-
sued, nor the policy as enuncisted by Stan
ton, from this day henceforth. Nineteen out
OF twenty OF the people of Kansas are Free
State men, and il their voice is choked down
by the bold tricks Of the bogus Legislature,
they are now numerous and determined
enough TO make themselves heard in man
ner quite as effectual. But we hope Walker
will do what he says. 1t is ell that the peo-
pie Of Kansas ask. But it is what they insis,
upon, also.

great success for the last eighteen months.
II 10 calculated especially for card work, but
at the same time is suitable for small labels,
and such like, If the printer desires. Ii has
enabled rs greatly to reduce the price of card
printing, and at the same time to make more
money. It is competent to print as fast as
It can be fed, or as fast as good linking roll.
lers and good card ink can be used on any
machine, and good impression be given. In
fact, il can be used at much higher rate of
speed than we ever desire to use il, or than
is ever desirable on any machine. AT our
ordinary speed it does not cost, on close
calculation, for the execution Of the printing,
including the best quality of ink, over about
. cents per thousand cards, and there is no
machine yet invented on which they can be
executed cheaper, as, Of course, there is no
rery strong motive TO stimulate cheaper
execution, when they have reached point so

We have no hostlity.to the great bridge
enterprise at Rock Island, to lead us to ioin
IN the cry against it, yet events occurring
from t'meto time since then, have tended to
Confirm the decided impression which We ex-
pressed several months since, that though
this bridge probably might have been con
ssrucsed so as to have been great public
benefit, and no substantial detriment to nav
igation, as IL stands it must be continual
source OF danger to life and damage to prop
erty, and a source of so much danger that in
tue end it will have to be greatly changed or
eatirely removed.
Some time last week the Saracen, coming
downfrom 81. Paul, struck against the bridge.
broke three of her hog chains, damaged her
considerably, and was sent into the docks
Tor repairs few minutes afterwards. the
tennessee Belle, from Galena, under charge
OF the best OF pilots, also struck, and was
very badly hurt, in fact she came near being
total loss, and for some time many lives
were in extreme peril. The editor Of the
kock Island argus says:
III there are any apologies for the bridge
nuisance left, we shall be interested in see
ing what fabrication they will get up about
these two cases, occurring within ten or ff-
teen minutes of each other, both coming
down in broad day light, with scarcely wind
enough to carry out the folds of flag. We
saw them both, and we now believe. more
than ever, that the passing of the bridge is
more matter OF luck than skill.n
And now, while writing this article, we
hear Of two more accidents which occurred
on Friday or Saturday last. The Arizona,
coming down, struck the bridge and was
sunk in water two feet over her outer guards.
She had on board 1000 sacks of wheat, with
quantity Of lead, the. former Of which is
probably nearly or quite total loss. The
Audubon also struck, tore of her guards,
and was considerably damaged.
