"DRED Scorr" IN YIRGINIA.-"It is

decision in the bred Scott case, intended
to work the negro a wrong. sometimes
works the opposite way. For instance,
case was tried in the District Court of
Allegheny county, Va, short time ago,
in which George Gardiner Ian old col

lncautiously gone bail for tax collector

RHO is making considerable improve
ueut, in the way Of buildings. The Town
Company are energetic, and push things
ricbt ahead. Like every other Western
,oru, the folks there have a magnificent
OniuiOn of the place, and think it will
make the greatest city in the whole cOun'
~ We think it will become place of
some importance; but there arc several
disadvantages under which it labOrs. The
I.udfO some miles around is inthe hands
Of Half-Breeds, who are not far in adj
vance of full. blooded Indians The land
is splendid. and If once gotten out Of the
hands of its present owners, into those Of
.ctual settlers, will be help to the town.
Another disadvantage Is, a low, msrshy
bottom, of half mile in width, between
tbe river and the town. In wet weather,
this bottom must be the next thing to
impossible. We should also think that
II would be rather unfsvorable for the
health of the place. The river at Rulo
must be well on to two miles wide, which
renders it quite inconvenient for fsrrying.
There are quite number of French in
RuIo, many of whom are married to Half |
Breed women. The French readily mix
with any people among whom they reside.
The town was named after Charles Rou- |
lean, the first French settler, and one of
the present prOpristOrs. But the Ameri-
can people are death on changing names,
and the aame of the town has been made
simply RulO..
The policy of the prOprietOrs of the
town, is to give every person a lot who
will come there and build house upon
it. Most of the building going up. are
in ful6llment of this condition. A print
ing Office has recently been brought theme,
and in few days, the /" Rule Western
Guild" will make its appearance.
Shortly after noon, the boat left on her
return to White Cloud, and made the
distance in just one hours time. The
principal objects of note along the route,
are ZION ES,S' LANDING" and
John Ma-he's bark wigwam.

Florence and this Paper.

About one year and half ago the propri.
etors of the DemocratIhad occasion to iroI-
row the sum Of Three Hundred and fifty
dollars, and made application to Cook and
Sargent for the loan, which house acconmo-
dated Us. At the same time they were adj
vertising with this Office, ard when we
took our position on Florence money, there
was an unsettled account in its favor Of
slsl,75, the balance due on the note being
1927 is, to secure which Messrs. Cook 4; Sar
gent had mortgage on our press, and the
only ymortyaqc evsr made by as to any banker
or other person, here or elsewhere. We have
always been in condition to pay this Lal
ance when called upon, but payment was
never requested until last Friday afternoon.
when to our surprise, as may well be iinag-
ined. Aid. Cannon, fanked hy Brevet Col.
}. W Young, Of the Florence Militia, entered
our .Sdnctum, presented the note to us aud
demanded payment thereof We would not
have been surprised to have been called up
on by any clerk, or employee Of the House
OF Cook d Sargent, for the payment of that
note, but the fact that they came with the
note, taken in connection with the PROPOSE
ton made to us few days previous, and
the conversation had on Friday afternoon,
would, were it not for the insult which was
intended. have been highly amusing. We
informed them that We would at once make
out our bill against Cook Il Sargent and as
soon as it was done, would call at their
Banking House and pay (which We did
early on the following morning.
All parties Interested were evidently
ashamed Of the transaction, as both Messrs.
Cannon and Young afterwards made lame
apologies for their behavior, and Messrs,
Cook IL Sargent informed us that the note
was taken from their banking house and
presented for payment without their con-
sent.
We leave it for our readers to Judge what
object the parties had i'll view in present
lag the note at this par ticular time, and i /,
any of them deserve any credit for it, we
trust it will fall to the person or persons
entitled thereto. The proposition oJope al.
f~aed to will form the subject Of an article
