We learn that MIR. John Robinson, a carpenter,
well.known in this section, killed by Berry Vest

neck, breast and shoulder. We learn that it was
in a drunken froc-and there little or no pro-
vocation for the horrible deed of blood.

STATE TAX FOR lS59.-We understand from
the Clerk Of the District Court, that the rate Of
State tax to be levied and collected In the sever.
al counties of this State for the present year,
has been fixed BY the State Board of Equal Ia
tion At one and half mills ON the dollar.
We believe the levy Of the State tar is the
same ~ last year, being but one halt the amount
fixed BY law as the limit TO this character of
revenue. We feel glad to know that the Cen
sus Board has fixed the rate 20 low as &C allow
the opposition no pretext for grambling. One of

The Republicans have bought the Dutch by
nominating Rusch, but they DO not intend to
disgrace the Senate and State by having him
preside. They would pay him six dollars day
IT he would stay away and elect one of their
own number to preside.
The above is from a speech delivered at Des
Moines City, in his exact language, by Mr..
Baker, of Charlton, candidate himself for
Lieut.. Governor before :hee late Democratic
Convention. 1t shows the animus OF African
lied Democracy. Ready to use the army aud
navy to capture stray niger, but unwilling to
protect na.uralized citizens in their persons
loud in their profession Of love for Foreigners
but ready to denounce and ridieule any one,
however worthy, who may be proposed by bis
friends as candidate for Office Mr.. Rusch is
under the ban. Instead of having drawn his
first inspiration, like the grandioquent Samuels,
upon the classic banks Of the Shenandoa, be
had the misfortune to be born on the Rhine and
to have lisped his FIRST infant accents in vulgar
German. Samuels says that Rusch is of no ac-
count-so better than wooden man. He is
clever gentleman, an old citizen Of Scott county
and probably the largest farmer in Iowa, but
being "Dutchmsn" he has no rights which an
F. V. is bound to respect.

s The best evidence of the fitness of Hon
Caleb Baldwin for a seat upon the Supreme
Bench is found in the fact that his old friends
and neighbogs in Jefferson county, where he
resided for many years, holding the Office of
District Judge, speak of him in the highest
terms. He is honored as an upright Judge,
cool, dispassonatc and well versed in the law,
and universally respected as a neighbor. A
gentleman from Jefferson county, in whose
judgment we rely, told us yesterday that Mr..
Baldwin could and would get 100 more votes
in that county, for a Judicial Office, than any
other man in the State

SIR IL see an article in your issue OF the

L wish to Say that the mail coming here at 3
O'Clock r. N. has TO lay over until the next day
| till IL M. There is no contract to carry that
mail any further than our place. If the
| saphead at Ottumwa will 60 to work and get
contract to carry the mail from Agency City to
Ottumwas when the mail comes here at o'clock
+. N. We will then be authorized to send them
he mail with the greatest pleasure. The send.
| ing the mail out here in the afternoon train
deem uncalled for and an unnecessary expense
to the Department, as there is no contract west
OF this place only for daily mail. Iwould say
for the information Of my Ottumwa friends
that have always sent them the paper sack
when an extra stage went out, and the Western
Stage Company (as obliging set Of fellows as
you will hnd anywhere,) to accommodate Ot-
tumwa, carry them the paper sacks in advance
Of the time required of them. The insertion Of
this may perhaps satisfy many OF your worthy
readers and that knowing gentleman at Ottum
VA perhaps would breath more easily.
You may insert this communication or pass it
BY, as you see tit. When any one states that /
hold mail matter over the proper time to send
it out, he states falsehood, and ! hold myself
Responsible Tor what say.

Judge Stockton coinciding,) that there was no

vote against Judge Stockton for Supreme
'udge. A Keokuk paper of Wednesday attempts
thug this same matter into the canvass and to
iofs our Judges, by outside pressure, to be-
COM legislators, and for the convenience Of
Aeokt enact redemption laws. This strikes US
as msst extraordinary and unwarrantable at

"THE QUADRANGLE."-"Th Quadrangle" SO
famous in the Italian campaign of the first Ma
poleon, and likely to become eminent in the
present war, is name given to the space in
ciuded between the fortresses of Peschiera,
Mantua, Leglano, and Verona, in Lombardy.---
1t lies directly in the track of the Allies in their
march across Lombardy, just east of the river
Mincio, and between Lake Garda on the North
and the 20 on the South. Peschera is at the
foot Of Lake Garda, and its Notifications are
said to be so immense as to hold $4,000
men-a number equal to lO0,0 900 in the field
Directly South Of Peschiera, and about fifteen
miles distant, is Mantua, situated in the midst of
swan ps that can be flooded with water in few
hours, by opening the canal that ntersect
them. Mantna has shelter for &c, 1000 troops
Verona is twelve miles east Of Peschiera, and
Legnano is twenty miles east of Mantua, and
the four places together, may be regarded as
one immense fortress with fronts fifteen miles
in length, within which the Austrian army may
rest in safety, but through which the Allies
cannot march without iEcurriug terrible disas-
Ter. No place gave the first Napoleon SO much
trouble as "the Quadrangle;" and as its de-
fences have been greatly increased during tbs
asst forty years, it is certain that the present
Napoleon will find lis reduction no easy task.
