WAR IN EURoPE.-The Royal Mail
steamship Niagara arrived at Halifax
on the 9Th inst. The political news is
of startling Importance. The Europe
an powers by this time are probably
engaged in bloody conflict. Austria
had sent an ultimatum to Sardinia, de
handing her disarmament, and if re
fused war was to be declared immedi
ately. Austria had also rejected Eng
lands final proposition, and dispatch
ed $4,000 additional troops to the
banks OF the Tecino, and the French
army was in process of rapid concen,
tration on the frontiers of Piedmont.

/" Skunk Bottom"

1t appears that the Skunk Bottoms
are about as great a nuisance to the
people of the Des Moines River valley
as the Wapsie Bottoms are to those
of the Cedar River valley. The JAS
per Free Press, published near the ex-
tended mud holes of the Skunk, gives
the following item:
Skunk bottom is in a miserable con-
dition at the present time, and is i'm
passible for anything, excepting wa
ter crafts. The river has been all
over the bottom for eight or ten days,
and travel was nearly stopped for a
time. The stages run to the margin
of the stream, which is about two
miles wide, and after exchanging pas
sengers, take the back track. The
passengers are ferried over in boat
The poor Pike Peakers, who have a
sorry time at the best, find it "a hard
road to travel "-some, in attempting
to cross, stuck fast in the mud and
remained so for days, others, more
fortunate in this respect, are imposed
upon by a set of SINNERS" who
taking advantage of their misfortunes
fleece them from 81 to Sc per team, fo1
dragging them across the bottom.
The Des Moines Citizen, abiding tt
the irregularity of the mails, says
| Tho rico in Skunk River and thp
other streams between Iowa City and
Des Moines, occasioned by the rain
storm on Sunday week, deranged the
mails very seriously. Up to Saturday
last but one mail had been received
from Chicago, during the past week.
The Skunk Bottom is voted great
nuisance, by common consent.
