wAsnIsGros, June IL, 1885,
Yesterday was busy day in both
Houses of Congress. Most ef the gen.
eral appropriation bills were exchanged
between the two Houses, sent to the
President, and passed into law. The
loan bill was withheld to the last moment,
for the reason that it was necessary to
know the amounts appropriated by Con-
gress for various purposes, in order to fix
the amount of the loan demanded.
During the evening the Treasury clerks
were each at his own work in running
up the various items Of appropriation
bills, and the result was aseertained late
last night to be $50. .000,0 900 instead of
SIS, 600, 900, would be required to meet
the ordinary expenses of the Government
up to the lst of January ncxt-and that,
too, in additin to the probable receipts
into the treasury, which arc estimated at
between SIT 900, 900 and $40, ,0OO, 900.
It may be that this loan of $40, 900,
900, which has been authorized by Con-
gress, will not all be needed, and ye,
again there is a probability, (which
know is feared by tho Treasury and the
Finance Committees of Congress, that
moro may be required. The contingcn-
cy which will turn the scale up or down
is the revival of trade. So far during
the present fiscal year it has disappoin'
ted the hopes of the Government, and the
revenues have been steadily falling off
s37 900. 900, in exact numbers, is thu
amount estimated for government expen
ditures up to January, 1859.

A Rnilroad Trnin in the Flood.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
sctte, travelling during the recent food on
the Ohio and Mississippi II Road, says
On crossing the bridge of the Ohio and
Mississippi X. Road at Vinccnnes the
traveller westward Witnesses novel light
in railroading. Before him is lake
(the Wabash valley overRowed) over six
miles wide, and longer than the eye can
reach. Across this sea the train runs on
trestse work that sticks out just four
inches above the water. Nothing is seen
on its broad surface save two iron rails,
round which the waters eddy and whirl,
and dash madly against the slender frame,
which seems to trcmble under their force.
All over the lake are whirling eddies, car
rying big trees and drift round and round.
These soon make your head swim, and
you feel that the trestle work is certain
ly moving, while the top is tipping over
against the current, and you expect every
movement to hear the splash Of the whole
train going down into the sea. But it
don't go, and there is no danger, fright
ful as it looks.
"But now we come to place that re-
ally seems fearful. We are in the mid
die of the lake. 1t is just twilight Al
most out of sight of land-nothing but
a waste of waters on every side of that
long, solitary railway train; We leave the
straight line and 70 curving southwark
like snakes track. Whyy Simply be-
cause the floed has carried the trestle
work away from its straight course, and
left it in a zig gag line, (and half upset,
at that some distanc below where it or
iginally stood.
$50 badly upset vas this trcstle work,
that in some places the rail on one side
WIS two feet lower than on the other,
aud il seemed as though it wanted only
the weight Of the train to throw it en-
tirely down. The lower rail, had, how
ever, been taken up, and timbers placed
on that side, TO bring it up a. high, and
in some cases little higher than the
other, SO as to throw most Of the weight
on the upper side. 1t was also hraced
up and stayed as wei. as could be done
in the present state Of the flood. On
this half overturned, rackcd and totlish
looking trestle work, our train crcpt eau
tiously along. A railroad train out at
sea, with iron enough about it to anchor
it safely at the bottom, and creeping
along on shaky trestle work, that the
engineer is afraid to jar, for fear he may
jar it down. Workmen are busy now in
bracing up and Strengthening this part
of the road, and b fore my letter reaches
you it will no doubt be perfectly safe. -

The United States Supreme Court at
Washington have made highly impor.
tant decision in regard to the taxation of
lands in the new States and Territories.
The public lands belonging to the Uni.
ted States are not subject to taxation,
and the decision of the Supreme Court
is, that the title to the lands sold at the
various land Offices remains in the United
States until the patent is issued to the
purchaser, and consequently no State, OF
Territory, has any right to levy tax up.
on land for which the purchaser has no,
yet received his patent from the U. s.
Government.
The decision will Of necessity create
much commotion throughout the new
Western States. Our exchanges from
the interior Of our own State are tillet
with lists of lands to be sold for taxes
Probably not one person in twenty wht
bought the greater portion of those
lands, has yet received patent. Hence
the tax sale of those lands will b.
void
There is no doubt but that many ia,
titles already acquired, will prove ut
terly worthless under this decision.
On looking into this matter it will b
seen that tho decision is well founded i,
reason and in law. Though one mar
bargains to sell real estate to another
and the purchaser actually pays dow
the stipulated price, yet the title re
mains in the vendor until it is conyeye,
bg deed to tho vcndcc. So it is, as be
tween the u. s. Government and pri
vate citizen. The patent is the deed O
hot Government, conveying its title; am
until that patent is made out and trans
fcrrcd, the title to the land must re
main in tho United States.
| The decision will, no doubt, be caus
Of Joy to those who, during a few year
past bought large quantities Of Goyorn
ment land, and have not yet receive
patents for il 1t viii also tend to d
minish tho State revenue derived fror

From all parts of the county We learn
that the late rains haveswollen the streams
to such an extent as to cause a great deal
of damage to the crsps. We learn that
in some places, nearly one-half if not
more of the corn is washed up, besides
other grain. In many places whole fields
are covered with water, resembling lakes
more than prairies. Where there is any
current at all, fences, wood, and timber
have been removed, causing large loss
to the owners Below we give list of
the principal damage done in this vicin-
ity, that has come to our knowledge up
to the hour of going to press.
At Bertram, the mill dam has been
washed away, together with the bridge,
and large amount of lumber and logs.
Loss about $4,000. At this point the
railroad embankmcnt is washed con-
sideragly, but the damage is very
light.
At Marion, one end of the bridge on
the Cedar Rapids road was moved some
three to five feet off the piers, and if it
had not been for the citizens, the whole
structure would have went down the
staeam.
At Lisbon, we learn that three cul-
yerts were washed away, and with one
of them, about 100 feet Of railroad en-
bankment. At this point a man and his
team had a very narrow escape from be-
ing drowned. 1t appears the water was
so high in the highway that he could
not cross, and so he took the railroad
track, and just as he had passed over il
the whole went down. 1t is said that
the hind wheels of the wagon dropped as
the bank gave way.
The stone mill dam of John Peat's on
Clear creek, was entirely washed away,
there not being one stone left upon an.
| other. All the bridges, fences and logs
in the vicinity were carried down stream
the mill dam of Kurtz & Retiring, carry,
inc that also away Next in order came
that of VIM. Young's mill, which is sit
uatcd a mile and half south, on the
same stream, tearing out one pen of the
dam on the west side, and destroyed his
saw mill to such an extent that it is not
worth repairing. The water wheel in
his new grist mill, was moved some dis
tancc out of its place. All of the races
on the stream were torn to pieces to suct
an extent that they will cost nearly az
much to repair them, as it did to builc
them in the first place.
Mr.. Peat has boon resident of Linn
Co. some seventeen years, and he say'
that he never before saw such torrents
of water fall, as we have had thi
spring.
We arc unable to get at the eXac
amount Of damage done Oh this stream
but il cannot be less than $4,000,

The War In India.


With the fall of Delhi the Scpoy re-
bcllion seemed to be broken, and it was
confidently predicted that only a few
months would be required to end the
war. 1t was considered a fortunate
circumstance that the great body Of tho
rebels had fled to Dude after the break
ing up of their stronghold at Delhi, as
the more they were concentrated, tho
more effective would bo the operations
aginst them. But though Lucknow has
fallen, and Dude is ovcrrun by British
troops, the rebels are by no means con-
quercd, They are uniformly beaten in
every pitched battle, but they soon
gather again by thousands in most unex
pected quarters, and fight with deter
mined obstincy and fanatical courage.
And they seem to have learned wisdom
from experience, as lately they avoid
open encounters, and have adopted a
most harassing system of guerilla war;
fare.
Mr.. Russell, the accomplished cor.
respondent of the London Times, who is-
now in India, lately said that the causes
of the rebellion we're far more deep-sea--
ted and peryaling than had generally
been supposed, and so at last seems to
think the English Government, which is
about dispatching $4,000 fresh troops in
hot haste to the scene of action. The
need of them is evidently urgent With
constant sighting and marching an Eut
rorcan army melts away like snow before
the sun in India, and must often have
it's thined ranks replenished. This, too,
is far more necessary now than before
tie 'ehellion, as the cnemy most to bo
feared is treason among the native troops:
Where the contest rs to end no man can
tell. 1t begins to look as if the spirit of
rebellion was too strong aud widespread
ever TO be 1aeRed BY military power
alone. England will be forced TO consid>
er more seriously than she has ye. done
the question whether it be possible for
her to govern three hundred millions OF
native Indians with mere handful Of
officers backed by a huge army, and
wheth,r, If it can be dole, the treasury Of
the nati,n viii be able to sustain the inn
mense cost of such system Of Govern

We had quite new feature here last
week in the way Of balloon ascension.
Mons. GODDARD, the celebrated @ronaut,
ascehded, With his son, in his mammoth
balloon, from Carr Place, in the western
suburbs Of the city, (thc wind coming
from the west, and when he had attained
the altitude of some 5000 or 5000 feet,
and nothing being distinctly visible to
the naked eye save the balloon, and near
the heart of the city, his son descended
from the balloon, with the assistance of a
parachute, and landed about two miles
from the river, in Illinois, and his father
and the balloon, about one mile further
east Yesterday he was to make another
ascension, mounted on the back of a real
lue horse, but was prevented by the in
clemcrcy of the weather, it having rain
ed nearly all day. 1t will come off some
time this week, unless the Wet weather
should prevent it,
Quite extensive preparations arc being
made for the celebration of the coming
Fourth Of July, by grand vocal and in
strumental concert, by about 1000 chill
dren, who are now being prepared for the
occasion. All the national airs will be
sung, with the old and many new compo-
sitions gotten up for the occasion. There
! are to be about 500 boys and the same
number Of girls. The children are to
be dressed as follows: Girls-v'hite drcs-

of at least hundreds on both sides. OH
cial information has been received mon
Gov. Cumming however, of his arrival
at Salt Lake City, and of his being favor
ably received. Brigham Young formally
delivered to him all authority, and com,
manded the people to obedience. There
was not the slightest demonstration o.
hostility. Brigham Young, and the prom
inent Mormons were to have left the city
on Tuesday last. The various settlements
were broken up, and the inhabitants were
going south to Sonora, or in the vicinity

Paraguay.

Paraguay.
About dozen years ago, the Paraguay
government issued decree to encourage
Foreigners to settle there aud engage in
trade, she Offering them lands and other
inducements, including monopolies. The
invitation to aid in developing the resour-
ces of the country was responded to in
Rhode Island, by the formation Of an En-
igrant company; the legislature incorpo-
ting it with a capital of 100000. The
company took to Paraguay steam engines,
vessels, saw mills, cotton-gins, planning
machines, sugar mills, brick machines,
rice mills, agricultural implements, &C.,
enough for large colony. A number of
farmers, mechanics, and others embarked
in the enterprise, and the colony was for
mally planted in 1858. The government
received them, bestowed the promised
privileges on them, and encouraged them
TO branch out largely in business.
The company built the first saw mill,
we believe, south of the Amazon and east
of the Andes, and it has been "payiag'
concern. The same is true also Of ci-
gar factory which they built. Unfortu.
nately, President Lopez found out that
these institutions" were lucrative. lie
