CT The Supreme Court has decided the
vexed question relative to the recent extern
sion of the city limits of Muscatine. The
case involving the question passed upon by
the court arose from the seizure of property
belonging to Thos. Morford by Marshal
Ungcr, for city taxes, Morford's land lying
outside of the old city limits, but inside the
new extension. The Journal says the decT-
sion was based upon the ground that there
could be no extension Of the city limits
without mutually of beneit-in other
words, that taking farming lands into the
corporation and subjectins them to taxation
against the wishes of the owners is uncon-
sttutional. But any ground already laid
out into lots can be incorporated with the

II WAR NEWS.

The news from the seat of war in Europe is
becoming interesting. The second and third
battles of the campaign had been fought at
date of last advices and active preparations were
making on the part of the beiligerents for a
still m ore formidable encounter than any that
had taken place while the movements of Prus-
sia and other German powers indicated a prob
able determination on their part to espouse the
cause of Austria and march their armies to
her aid, which OF course would draw England
and most of the continental powers into the
vortex and cause the war to become general.
Though the battles thus far fought have result
ed favorably to the arms of the French and
Sardinians, they have not been of a decisive
character, nor have they been such as might
have been expected considering the number of
troops in the field and the parties involved
The Austrians, both officers and troops, evil
IDENTIFY retain the national characteristics which
so fully developed themselves during their
memorable contests with the first Napoleon,
and their movements are quite as slow and
cautious now as they were then. The French
troops, too, retain all the enthusiasm, activity
and irresistible courage evinced by their pre-
decessors on the fields of Marengo, Aus
terlitz, Wagram and Waterloo, but they lack
the commander they then had. Napoleon III

THE CROPS,

The advices in reference to the crops, from
all sections Of the country not affected by the
late frost, continue to be of the most cheering
nature ; and as regards the " burnt district, -
the last accounts show the injury to the wheat
to have been much less general and serious
than was at first unprecedented. 1t is now pretty
generally conceded that taking the whole
wheat growing portion of the country together
the aggregate product will be fully as large as
that of 1858 or any previous year. The ten
dency Of -four and grain in all the prominent
markets is still downward-an unerring indiea-
ton, at this season of the year, that those best
posted in regard to such matters do not appre-
bend any serious diminution in the usual sup
ply, bnt rather the contrary. One week ago
yesterday superfne flour was dull in Cincinnati
at s. per Dbl. 1t has gradually receded, till
yesterday it was selling at Sc, with a tendency
to a still lower figure. There has also been a
corresponding reduction in the price of wheat
the decline during the week being from 5 to
% cts. per bushel.

VIENNA, Monday-Through the opportune
arrival of the corps d armes of Field Marshal
Claim Gallas on the battle field, the Austraans
were victorious after a hot fight, and the French
were thrown back over the Tieino.
THE LATEST.
IoypoS. Wednesday, June S.-The Times
this morning published q urinary OF the ON
cial news received at Vienna up to midnight
of Monday. It is as follows: There was a
fierce battle at Turbigo and Bufalora on the
4th. At first only two brigades of the first
corps were engaged. but they we're subsequently
REINFORCED, and in the afternoon of the sapre
dav the third Austrian corps took part in the
action.
There was very hard fighting at Buftalora,
sometimes TO the advantage Of the French and
sometimes to that of the Austriar4s. The bat
tie lasted till late in the night and on the 9Th II
was continued at Magenta. Tue allies made nc
progress. On this day two fresh Austrians corps
were engaged, and in Inc afternoon the Austri-
ans took up a flank petition between Abbeatte
Grasso and Biu2sco.
The Austr;ans nave taken many prisoners
Tn loss on both sides was very great. The
Austrisns nad four generals and five staff off
GERS wounded. One major was killed
the movements which preceded the battle Of
1degenta are not clearly stated. but it was pre-
| viously announced that the allies were about Il
cross the Ticino to the number of 100000 men
and it is presumed the rapid movement of ths
allies prevented the Austrians from completing
the retreat, which they had commenced, and
compelled them to accept battle on the banks
of the river.
TIE Paris correspondent ofthe London Pos
saws, that the Emperor was present at the bat
tie, but did not command in person.

Discovery of an Immense Tusk.

Last Monday we were shown the immense
tusk of some mammoth animal belonging to a
race now extinct, and found embedded in the
bank of the river near Bridgeport. It meas
ures Seven inches in diameter, and It's length
four feet, although originally it was probably
three times that length. AT the time of the
discovery by Mr.. Samuel Dexter, a part of it
projected from the bank the sandy soil In
which it was embedded having gradually wash
ed away and exposing it to view, and the ac~
ton of the atmosphere decomposing it as it was
thus exposed. The inner portion OF abe tusk
had become so decomposed as to resemble
chalk, but the outside, half an inch in thick
ness, was in a very good state of preservation.
This tusk is undoubtedly the relic of a race
of herbivorous animals which lourished during
that period of the worlds history when fern
trees grew thirty and forty feet in height, a
species of frog as large as an OK, and birds of
the ostrich kind, whose eggs were so large
that four men with joined hands could stand
around them, " lived, moved, and had their be-
ing"
This discovery settles the question of the
navigability of the Maquoketa river. For
if such monsters as this ~navigated it at that
early period surely a small steamer can do the
same at this day.
The tusk can be seen by the curious in such
matters, at the drug store of Mr.. Alfred Eel
lows in this city.-Aaguota Sentinel.

Punishment of crime in North caroli-

The administration of justice in North Car
DINA is much less mid thar in many of her sis
ter Ststes. Having no State prison. the old
punislments of the English common law are
still inflicted such as branding, whipping
cropping the ears, &c. A writer, after de-
scribing the recent opening of the court in one
of the counties in that State, says
A prisoner, who had been convicted of big
amy, was then brought n by the sheriff and an
assistant, wheYeupon his counsel moved for q
new trial, on the ground shat the dcfendent had
been unable to procure the attendance of all
his witnesses. His Honor inquired if he could
give the requisite security? On being answered
in the negative, Then said his Honor let the
sentence of the court be executed forthwith
The sheriff and his deputy then bliDdGolded the
prisoner, tied his hands, and bound his head
firmly to the bar. Taking the brand ison
fror1 the furnace, the sheriff applied it red hot
to the check of the bigamist, burning a plain
letter B, an inch and u half long and nearly
half an inch deep. The prisoner was then re-
handed to Jail, where his head and harris were
introduced into the pillory, and forty stripes
save one were applied to his bare back, after
which he was discharged.
Every Jail in North Carolina is provided
with a whipping-post, stocks and pillory.-
Murder, rape, arson, burglary, and all the
higher crimes and misdemeanors, are punished
with death mauslangbter by branding the
letter NJ in the right hand. The c~onvict's
hand is bound to the bar, and the branding
iron held upon the palm until he can say God
save the State three times. Theft and minor
ofenscs are punished by whipping, standing in
the pillory, or sitting in the stocks.

MORE OF THE WHEAT CRoP.-We continue
to hear the most gratifying intelligence of the
prospect, nay. certainty, of an abundant crop of
wheat this harvest. Captain Moore, who has
just returned from a trip through this county,
Madison and Clark, on the National Road,
informs US that he examined a large num-
Der of fields and some few that we're badly dam
aged, while a large number were untnjured and
promised to yield a heavy crop. We to-day
have seen several punches cut from fields in
this county that look fine. One particularly,
from the farm of Mr.. John Walcutt. of Perry
township, the heads of which were very large,
the berry more full and plump than we have
found even in former years. Mr.. John Legg,
an intelligent farmer in the same vicinity, now
admits that he was deceived a week ago; his
wheat, he now says, will be good. We have
also examined samples cut from fields west Of
the Scioto river in which we found the grain
well filed.
From all the information ne can obtain, the
uninjured fields in this county viii produce
more good wheat this year than we have had
for many seasons.-Columbus Fact, 18th.

nxmocRAcy rn VERMONT

The Democracy of Vermont, a body COM
prised almost exclusively of Postmasters and
other government officials, held a State Con-
vention last week, went through the for1nality
of nominating a ticket, and appointed dele
gates to the Charleston Convention. JOHN G.
SAKE, the poet, was nominated for Governor,
and Douglas delegates selected to represent the
State at Charleston-the latter a strange move
considering the material of which tie Conyen-
ton was composed, bat accounted for, probably,
by the fact that B~uchanan's term is rapidly
drawing to a close, and should he feel disposed
to turn them out it would be difficult to find
enough members Of the party in the State TO
take their places, 1t is not likely that the lit
erary pursuits of SAKE will soon be seriously
interfered with by a call to discharge the du-
ties that devolve upon the Executive of the
Green Mountain State.

Relative to the crops in Indiana, the Indian
apolis Journal of Tuesday says:
Since the news of the frost, our country
exchanges say but little of the crops. The
wheat harvest has commenced in the southern
portion of the State, and two or three reports
we have noticed indicate that the yield is fully
up to their anticipations. We shall probably
have but little more to report of the crops now
till harvest is over, when we shall have no more
guessing to do. Corn is doing well. We hear
no word Of Encouragement or doubt any
where, except occasional places where the cut
worm has been busy. One exchange mentions
as a curiosity that a farmer in hat vicinity
has dug up trco hundred cut-worms in a spot
of ground about a foot square. Other crops
do not vary from what we have heretofore sta
ted, except possibly grass which appears to be
turning out better than was expected two or
three weeks ago. Fruit is very unequally dis
tributed. In some sections a profusion of ap-
piles is reported, in others a great scarcity.
Peaches are a much greater failure, taking the
State together, than was expected in May.

NEW WHEAr.-We nave before us a fine
specimen of new wheat from the farm of James
Walker, who lives on the Kentucky side of the
river just above Tygart Greek. 1t was cut
yesterday and is almost ripe. Mr., Walker in
forms us that he has some sixty acres of nice
bottom land from which he expects to realize a
full crop of wheat. 1t will yield probably 80
or 40 bushels to the acre and will be ready to
cut next week. His grain was entirely I'M
touched by the heavy frost of Saturday night
last. If all the wheat in our county turns out
as fine as the specimen brought to our Office,
farmers will have little to complain of.-Ports-
