Win will you meet again, gentlemen

fwThe bottom seems to be falling out Of
thing.financially at Davenport. The Demo
crat announces the suspension Of the crockery
and e,ssware house of W. c. Joy, at that
place, ION Saturday last. Cook q Sargent
have pt yet published statement of their
affairs and it is not known to what amount
they lave failed. 1t is stated that many
farmes Of Scott county are losers by the fail
ure o. Burrows. & Prettyman, who bought
immelse quantities of wheat of them lately on
time, giving tickets payable on the first OF
some future month, the farmer to receive
whatver price wheat might be bringing when
the tiket came due. This firm deserves but
little any sympathy, as they have been Tor
some time pursuing reckless system Of
businss, which any sensible man could see
woul, result in ruin, not only to themselves
but others. We learn on good authority
that hey instructed their wheat buyers on the
stree to purchase every load of wheat they
camacross, regardless ofthe price demanded
and, Il the buyer suffered single load to pass
fromhis hands, he was threatened with being
discharged from their employ. as'jae4i

SLAVERY IN NEBRASKA. - The Nebraska
Republican of the 7th inst. says: "We
understand that S. Nuckolls, Democratic

two persons held ny him as s,.-as in this

Nuckolls alleges that they were stolen by

favorable to his case, as they did in that Of

M1sGovERNMENT OR Civil WAR.-The Mas
souri, Democrat shows very forcibly the
alternative to which the Disunion Democracy
have attempted to reduce the American people.
''The Richmond press" it says, recommends
the exclusion of Northern manufactures from
the Southern market; the Governor of Miss
;issippi, among other equally patriotic meas
ures, recommends the Legislature Of that
State to admit foreign goods free Of duty; and
in various quarters propositions are made for
dissolution of the Union contingent on the
election to the Presidency of the nominee Of
the Republican National Convention. This
unmasks the whole plot. There sneu be no
trouble, 1t seems, as long as ths SLAVE Democ-
racy are permitted to rate the country. Iht
people of the United Stotss must submit ia
be misgoverned BY an oligarchy, under pa:

The Leavenworth Overland Express,
seven days from Pixies Peak, has arrived,
bringing Utah and Jefferson mails, and
$4,000 in dust. The weather had been in.
tensely cold, causing cessation in mining
operations. Lead mines had been discovered
in the mountain region, the mineral being
nearly pure. The Provisional Legislature
was still in session. Business was active.
Intelligence has been received at aali-
fax of the wreck of schooner Ada, of West
port, N. s., and the loss Of ten lives. The
Ada sailed from st. Barbes, Labrador, on
the 3Oth of September, for Halifax. On the
7th Of October, during fearful gale of
wind, she was driven on ledge of rocks
near Sandy Bay; und the vessel and all on
board we're lost. Eight of the bodies were
recovered the next day. ~ - &c 75' G-s
The old tow boat Michigan No. 2, bound
from st. Louis to New Orleans with heavy
tow, exploded all her boilers at New Mad
rid, Mo-, on Friday, the 9th inst, killing
the engineer, and fatally, wounding six or
seven others. The boat is said to have been
literally blown to pieces, and she sunk soon
after the accident. The explosion instantly
killed the engineer (name not given) on
watch, blowing him so yards into the river.
A lady who was on board was blown into
the river, but was saved. The boats in tow
were uninjured, and were the means Of the
passengers and crew saving themselves.

Whole for the further consideration of Mr..
Coopcr's Bill, Mr.. Roszell in the Chair Mr.
Hildreth offered resolution inviting the
President to take seat with the Committee,
and participate in the discussion, &c. Adopted.
The Bill was considerably amended by the
Committee. The County Superintendent s
per diem was fixed at - for actual services,
Without completing the Bill, the Committee
rose, reported progress, and asked to sit again
tomorrow at 10 o'clock. "
Mr.. Roszelrs Bill on the same subject
mentioned in my former letter, and which
differs considerably from Mr.. Cooper's, will
probably come up tomorrow. The discussion
which the consideration Of Mr.. Cooper's Bill
has elected has revealed conservative feeling
among the members, which inclines me to
think that there will be but few changes made
in the present law. More powers will be
given to the Sub Districts, and the Office of
County Superintendent will undergo some
changes. but the balance of the law will remain
about the same as at present. d.

IHE DOWNFALL OF DOUGLAS.-lne SprlnS-
field Republican comments upon the utter
revolution that has come over Mr.. Douglas
prospects and condition, as an illustration of
the uncertainties of American life. Nowhere
does wealth pass so quickly, health fail so
sadly, and reputation and popularity fade so
suddenly, as in our fast age and nation. Two
years ago. says the: Republican, Mr.. Douglas
was, next to Gen. Cass, the richest man in
public life; now, if not bankrupt, he is prob
ably not far from it. He has spent money in
politics by the hundreds of thousands; he has
lived extravagantly at Washington and in
Chicago; while the fall in prices of Western
real estate has greatly deprecated his capital,
and his speculations have turned out badly.
Two months ago, he seemed to have more
political power and popularity than any other
American everybody was talking about him,
and his chances for the Presidency were
hopefully discussed by his friends, and
reluctantly conceded by his enemies-but now
few are so poor as to do him reverence, as the
coming man. The Southern Democracy have
ceased to fear him, and the Northern to wor
ship him. He has even seemed himself to
abandon the Charleston Convention to his
opponents. Saddest of all, he who has had
through life the strongest Of constitutions, the
most robust of health, is now laid low with
sickness. For some days, his sufferings have
been such that none but iron powers could
resist them. His disease is dangerous, and
nearly always fatal-gout in the stomach ;
and yet from the present attack, if he sur
wives, it will probably be as changed man
physically, and through the remainder Of life
he must pay the penalty of arockless disregard
of the laws of health heretofore. His Mhole
future is likely to be affected by these circum'
stances. Whatever recuperative powers he
may show, he is now in all points but the
wrecL of his former self --.
