The Railroad Tax.
QaoSqaeton, June Is, 1853.

g.~ We find in the Cirlidn, the fol-
lowing resolution Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Dubuque IL Pacific r. r. Co.,
which, it will be perceived, fully sustains
our assertion that the Company would
receive in payment of the proposed one
per cent. tax, all obligations of the Com
pany which they would be compelled to
issue in order to build the road through
this county. The work, our readers will
perceive, from the proclamation, is TO be
performed between the time of voting
and collecting the tax. In order to do
this the Company must issue their scrip,
and the whole object of the tax, and of
the effort 10 get private subscriptions.
which the Company has lately made, is
simply to make it an object for the peo
pie to take that scrip, and thereby enable
them 10 buy the produce and materials
necessary in Its construction. There is,
then, no dangerbut that tie tax payers will
be enabled to procure without trouble,
the means TO pay the tax. To grade and
tie the 10 milos - road from the eastern
boundary Of the county to independence
II will require an outlay of about So, :
600. The amount Of tax to be paid is
but $4,000. and fully one third of this
will come out Of non resident owners
II is thus apparent that not only will our
tax payers be enabled 10 meet this de-
mand upon them, but they will have Il
large surplus of means left within their
hands. The rise in the price of their
produce, will nearly, if not quite, pay
their tax, and they will therefore obtain
valuable fund to the county without
the real expenditure of any means. No
man can reasonably doubt that in two OF
three years, with all the resources of this
Company, that the stock will pay a large
dividend annually, and if it does, the
$50, ,000 worth of stock which the coun
" would then have. through the accu-
mutation of interest, would pay into the
treasury q sum sufficient TO leave our
taxes merely nominal. We fully believe
that it is our best policy, looking at the
matter simply in the light OF an invest
ment, TO vote this tax, and when we come
70 consider the advantages incident to nr

ST LorIs, June {.
A Leayenworth despatch of the 9Th
says The details of the affray at Lawrence
between Lane and Jenkins were living on
a claim which was contested The form
er enclosed an acre of land, in which
was a we'll used by both parties in COM
mon. Lane recently locked the well,
fenced up the entrance, and forbade Jen-
kins access to it. Jenkins declared he
would have water at all hazards. Lane
threatened to shoot him If he made for
chile entry upon hisprimises. On Thurs
day evening, jenkins, accompanied by
four friends we'll armed, cut down Lanes
fence and proceeded toward the well,
when Lane warned them not to advance
or he would shoot. Disregarding the
threat, jenkins and his party advanced.
when Lane fired, killing Jenkins instant
". One of jenkins men then shot Lane
in tie leg, infiicting wound which con-
fines him to his bed Lane was arrested,
and was 10 undergo an examination to
day. Much excitement existed. Jen-
kins was held in high estimation, and his
death is deeply deplored.

Another Flaw i'm Tax Titles.

The United States Supreme Court at
Washington, has just mn lie a highly i'm
portant decision in regard TO the location
Of lands in new states and territories--
The public lands belonging TO the
United States are not subject to taxation.
and the decision of the Supreme Court Is.
that the title Of the lands sold at the yari
Gus land Offices remains in the United
States until the patent is issued to the
purchaser, and consequently no Stale
or Territory has any right to levy tax
upon land for which the Iu chaser. has
not yet received his pateut from the I. ).
Government.
The decision will effect all lands offer
ed for sale for taxes in new states and
territories. In this State and other new
western states probably not one person in
twenty. who bought the greater portion
of lands now advertised to be sold for
taxes, has received the Government
Patent for them Many tax titles will
prove worthless unIe. this decision :

The Husbands Pledge.

The hours trippcd merrily alcne-
A happy couple, We,
As any in the burdcned song
OF ancient chivalry
For dearer was husbands smile
Than all the world to me.
The tcmptcr came-oh, bitter thought
That such thing could be-
The sparkling cup, with poison fraught,
Had turned his heart from me
The burning check and flashing eye
We're saddcst sights to see.
The darkest hour of life had conc,
It's pleasures quickly DER;
A pallor now replaced the bloom
That graced the check before.
My heart revealed to none the cause
He smiled on me no more.
A Pledge Pledge dear friends rejoice,
The night has passed away;
No Joyous host Of heaven can tell
Ny happiness to-day
A husbands smile again has taught
Ny heart to love and pray
Oh, precious Pledge he gave me this,
And dropping on his knee.
He sealed his promise with kiss.
And sweetly smiled on me-
never shall forget the day
He gainedhis liberty.

Gold in Buchanan County.

Gr Happening up TO Independence,
on Thursday, of last week, We found our
neighbors considerably excited over a
discovery Of gold, which had that day
been made, in a ravine close to the town
We saw some specimens Of gold con
tanned in a small quantity of black sand,
al the banking house of OLDER, LEE &
CO., which had undoubtedly been OBJ
tanned from the earth in that vicinity
The pieces, however, were very minute,
scarcely perceptible to the naked eye, and
the " diggings," We understood, gave no
very flattering promises of remuneration
During the day, samples were also ex-
hibited, purporting, and we believe truth
fully, to have been found near the village
of Fairbauk, in the northwestern portion
of the county. The next morning, some
ofour townspeople, not wishing that this
should be behind other sections of the
county, started out prospecting, and some
of them returned with undoubted evi-
dcuce of the existence Of the precious
stuff in this locality, DR.. UPJoHN, a gen
tleman of much scientific ability, and
whose yeracity no one in this region viii
question, assures us that he has himself
found undoubted specimens of gold near
his own farm recently, and asserts posi-
lively that the fact of its existence here
cannot be gainsayed. Whether it will
ever be found in quantities sufficient to
pay for the labor of seeking it, is doubt
ful. Ithas probably been brought down
from higher latitudes, and impregnatea
more or less the entire drift formation OF
our state. We apprehend that no gold
bearing rock viii be found in place in
this region, and that not enough has been
brought down in the driit to make our
State an Fl Dorado.
