SERIOUS DtsrURDAKcE-A Man SmoT.
1t appears that an Irishman who is
known in town as "Old Tap" was in
dulging in one Of his druken sprees,
when a quarrel arose between him and a
German named George NiebeI, the Irish
man having insulted him and his wife.
The fight was getting quite serious, a
man named Ryan, and several others, in.
terfering in behalf of the Irlshmon.
Mr.. Niebel was being badly abused,
and would probably have been killed, had
it not been for the interference of WIN.
N. Byers, Mr.. O'Conner, Mr.. Page, and
one or two other gentlemen, who endeav-
oreL to restore quiet. The German ran
into his house and procured a sword,
which however, was taken from him by
his wife, and the gentleman mentioned.
He then took down a musket, loaded with
large shot, ran out of the house and fired
into the crowd. Who he intenoed to hit,
we cannot tell, but in the excitement, he
missed his aim, and Mr.. Byers, who was
STOPPING at the time, received the whole
charge in his right shoulder. He was
Immediately removed, and medical assist.
ance was procured.
Ryan, Tap and Niebel were taken
into custody; and on Monday were
brought before Judge Briggs for exami-
nation. Ryan was admitted to bail, and
the others were committed to jail for fur
Their trial. The German Is badly cut up,
and two of his ribs are broken.
The wound inflicted OH Mr.. Byers is
rather a serious one but at the time Of
writing this article, it is hoped and be-
lieved that he will recover. MI. Byers
is one Of our oldest and best known citI-
zens, and the community is justly indig-
nant that he should have to suffer, while
endeavoring TO terminate one of those
drunken brawlS which have been entirely
too frequent in a certain quarter of our
town. II will afford us sincere pleasure
to chronicle his complete recovery from
the effects of the wound. The wife of
Mr.. Byers was absent at the time Of the
occurrence, but has been sent for.

We suppose that it is known to mos, of
the settlers of this region, that the efforts
made a short time since, to postpone the
Land Sales, were not of sufficient mag.
nitude 10 produce the desired result g;
hence The sale of the public lands, author
iSed by the President, will begin on Mon
day, the 9th day of September, proximo.
We fear that this is an event, for which,
too many, in these tigh, times, are un,
prepared Many, we apprehand, who
have improved a tract of land, will NOT
be able to pre-empt, even on time, prior
10 that period. To allow those who have
the w~herewith, to take advantage of their
condition, and dispossess them, would be
unjust and cruel in the extreme. The
rights of these men, should and must be
respected. In another column will be
lound a notice for a meeting, to consider
the subject, and take such steps as shall be
thought best at the time. Every squatter
ought to be present, with the numbers of

NJ. & NJ. RArLRoAp.-A few DAYS
since we observed several car loads of
iron rails On their way west, an evidence
Of the progress Of our road in that direc-
tion. We understood, however. thew
were intended for the Muscatine branch
Of the NJ. & NJ. Road. Mr.. Farnam
arrived in our city on Thursday evening,
we presume with the intention of making
arrangements for constructing the road
west of Iowa City. The greatest neces-
s~lty' Exist for the extension Of his road,
as the rapidly with which the Lyons road
Is being pushed ahead renders il obliga-
tory upon the NJ. & NJ. Company. to do
something Immediately, if they wish not
TO be dlstanced by the enterprising men
who now have the Lyons road urder con
tract. We hope in a few days to be able
TO announce authorltively tina, something
has been done to place the M. & NJ. road
west Of Iowa City under contract. The
people have waited long and patiently for
this announcement.-Davenport Gacette.

To The .4sSociateI Press of .NcU York.
Pray excuse what you may have
thought neglect on my part in not giving
more particulars about the laying of the
cable, bu, | have hardly had time to eat,
drink, or sleep. Mr.. Mckay. the Sup.
erintendent of the New York and New.
foundland Telegraph Line. has been
working day and nigh, to get everything
ready. The people here seem to have
had little faith in the cables arriving. and
had made very slight preparation for re-
ceiving it.
The end Of the Atlantic cable was land
ed on the Irish shore from the Niagara
on the 9Th of August, 1857, and the other
end from the same vessel on the 9Th Of
August 1853, The heavy shore end laid
from the Ealen,ia by the Niagara las'
year, still remains, aud was to be spliced
to the main cable, so that both ends Of the
cable have actually been laid by the Nj
agara.
The Telegraph fleet sailed from Ply.
mouth on the experimental trip on the
29th of May. The cable wa broken a,
the stern of the Agnmemnon on the frs,
attempt to lay it, on the 29th of June, and

mav well cause the hearts of our people

On Wednesday evening, the 18th. we
had placed on our table by Col. Osborne
full files of St. Louis apers of the 10th,
embracing the Evening News of that
date. This is receiving St Louis papers
in about fifty hours. They came of course
by the Hannibal aud ST. Joseph Railroad.
There is now only about twelve hours
staging between Tins city and Hannibal
making this many hours the quickest
route to St. Louis aud the East. The
travel Of this road is already very consld-
cradle, and a, each day shortens the dis
lance TO be staged, we may expect that
the main portion OF the travel Of upper

The Dalles," a word which occurs so
frequently in the news from Oregon, is a
name gwen 10 a narrow passage on the
Columbia river, some fifty miles above
the Cascades, where the stream passes
between immense walls Of basaitic rock
only three hundred feet asunder. The
name, which is pronounced as if written
dolls, means slabs :" and was given,
doubtless, by early French ,rappers, as
descriptive Of the remarkable masses of
