CAUTION. = The public are cautioned
against purchasing or using Water Drawers
of like construction to Wheeler's Patent, as
the sameare an infringement on our right
All persons purchasing or using the same
will be prosecuted according to law.
J. E. WHEELER & Co.
The above appeared in the city papers Of
this morning, and from what we can learn,
it is intended for US. Wheeler / Co. are
very cautious not to mention Daykin & Co.'s
Water Drawer as an infringement, as they
are not anxious to lay themselves liable for
prosecution and damages, but caution people
against using Water Drawers Of like con-
struction to Wheeler's patent, only to bTole-
beet and mislead the public for their own
selfish purposes. Our Water Drawer is no
infringement whatever entirely different
in its construction in every respect. The
word "Caution" would apply better over an
article cautioning people Of Indiana not to
purchase Wheeler's patent Water Drawer on
account of the revolving spout, and other
complications about it, causing 1t to freeze
in the winter, thereby rendering it perfectly
useless and worthless to any one. Our
Water DrGloer Is no infringement t0hdteUsr,
and we dare and defy them to commence a
suit against US. If they do, we will beat
them and recover damages with the same
ease as we take the premiums over them at
State and county Fairs where we exhibit it.
We took the first premiam at the Indiana
State Fair, Oct. 19, 1880.

RUMoRED DEATH OF JEFF. DAvIs.-TwO

RUMoRED DEATH or JEFF. DAvIs.-Two
important rumors we're telegraphed from
San Francisco on Tuesday last. One was,
that Gen. Sumner had received q dispatch
troR the East, confirming the reported
death of JEFF. Davis the other, that pri-
yate dispatch had been received contradict
ing the rumor. 1t is not probable that
Gen. Sumner, or any body else, has receiV-
ed any later or more reliable information
than was contained 10 the dispatches to the
Associated Press. The rumOr of Davis
death appears to have been extensively cir
culated throughout the North, and perhaps
gained credeBee from the fact that such an
event was deemed probable. For several
years he has been IN i'll health. aud having
laItsrly beeO quite sick, the announcement
Of his death would surprise ne enc. The

ARRESTS IN ST. LoUIs.-The correspOn.
dent Of the Bulletin, writing August 3lst.
referring to the condition of affairs in ST..
Louis, says:
Daniel r. Grace, captain OF fpolice, was ar
rested in this city yesterday for treason, by the
Federal authorities, and several others were
taken into custody last night, whom, as they
are persons of no position, it is unnecessary to
name. About sixty persons, two-thrds of whom
are from the country, are now held here as pris-
oners. Fifty detectives were yesterday appointed
and sworn into Government service. They are
to be under the direction of the Provost Mar
shal, and we shall now hear doubtless of an in
creased number of arrests. Those who are ta-
ken into custody are well treated, and generally
released whenever they offer to take an oath OF
allegiance to the United States.
Wepresume our old friend George Hearst
was one of the "persOns of no position" !"
whom it was unnecessary to name."

TIE LOWEST DEPTH OF INFAMy.-One
RObt. G. Scott, late U. S. Consul at Rio de
JaneirO, has been guilty Of the most inGA-
nous act we have yet heard Of, in eenGec.
ton with the rebellion. On the capture Of
Fort Hatteras, q letter was found from
Scott, giving list of the American vessels
leaving aud to leave Rio de Janeiro, with
q full description Of the cargOes, etc. By
this means the pirates knew when and
where TO look for the vessels, and it is said
that six named in the list we're captured.
While living from the bounty OF the .. S.
Government, he used the advantages of his
position to rob bis employers None but
she very lowest fOot-pad would be guilty Of
suoh meanness.

INCREASE OF IRON-cAsED SHIPS OF WAR
France has now six iron-clad friGates aAoat,
and she is building ten others, which are ex-
pected to be completed in about eighteen
months. In addition to these, she has eleven
irOn-cased floating batteries, two of which are
fit for sea navigation. England has two inn
mense iron-clad frigates-the Warrior and
Black Prince-afoRt, but not quite finished.
1t is expected they will be ready for active SER
vice in about six weeks. They are the most
powerful war vessels yet built. In addition to
these, four smaller new iron frigates are being
built, and orders have been issued for plating
several Of the large wooden frigates. In about
two years, there will be a feet Of about twenty
iron-clad frigates in the British navy. This
will be less than the French will have, but they
will be Of greater power. Austria is building
two iron-cased frigates the King of Italy has
two, and has ordered two more; Spain has or
dered two; Prussia is about to build one, and
Russia four. Iron navies are becoming the
rule.-[Sc Scientific American.

over General Gustavus Z. Beauregard. They
were named in this order, and the Mercury man
is greatly nettled at it, and claims that the ar

SOUTHWESTERN Missouri Late advices
from the East, state that Gen. Jim. Lane,
of Kansas, is operating in Southwestern
Missouri, having force of $500 under bis
command. A dispatch from Leavenworth,
of Sept. 4th, says:
We have accounts of several skirmishes on
the southern border between portions of Lanes
command and rebels. On the 29th of August,
Balls mills on Usage, we're burned by detach-
ment of Federals under Capt. Williams, after
n sharp skirmish with portion of Rains rebel
troops. On Sunday evening, the lst inst, the
rebels made dash on our pickets; Lane force
at Fort Scott drove them in and captured 90
mules. On Monday morning Lane marched
with his whole command, $500 men, to attack
Rains. People in Southern Kansas are flock
ing in to Lane from that point and it is feared
that the movement among the secessonists
may be general, and large numbers of the citi-
zens are going on patrol duty tonight
Another dispatch from the same place,
dated on the 9th, gives the following addi-
tional intelligence:
AdVices from Fort Scott state that Gen. Lane
returned to Fort Scott without giving battle as
the enemy were in force and strongly posted.
On Tuesday, the Sd, there was much skirn.ish-
ing in the neighborhOOd and battle was
thought probable. Excitement exists all along
the border Of Kansas and Missouri. Pickets
established at Weston Ferry were fired on last
night from the Missouri shore.
Fort Scott is situated in Kansas. on the
south side Of the Usage river, and near the
Missouri border. The movements of Lane
in that quarter will give employment to q
portion of the rebel force now operating in
southwestern Missouri.

HATTERAs INLET.-DIspalcbes from Wash
ingtOn state that the Government has de-

forts lately captured at Hatteras Inlet, Al.
though the original Intention was TO de-
stroy the forts in order to break up a reu-
devious for pirates. The position is re-
garded as an important one in military
view. Gen Butler, who was in command
of the expedition. says, in his report:
"On consultation with officer StringhaEa and
Commander Stellinger, determined to leave
troops and hold the forts, because Of the
strength of the Notifications and their impOr-
tance, and because. if again in possession Of
the enemy with sufficient armament, of the
difficulty Of racapturing it. The Importance Of
the point cannot be overrated. From the whole
coast of Virginia and North Carolina, from
Norfolk to Cape Lookout, is within our reach
by light draught vessels, which cannot possibly
live at sea during the Winter months. From
it, offensive operations may be made upon the
whole coast Of North Carolina to Bogue Inlet,
extending many miles inland to Washington,
Newbern and Beaufort. In the language of the
Chief Engineer of the rebels in an official re-
port, it is the key Of the Albermare.' In my
Judgment it is station second in Importance
only to Fort Monroe. On this coast is depot
for cavalry and supplies for the blockading
squadron. 1t is invaluable as a harbor for our
coasting trade, or inlet from the Winter storm,
or from pirates. 1t is Of the first Importance.
BY holding it. Hatteras light may again send
forth cheerful ray to the storm beaten mari
ner."

On Wednesday night while the steamer
Christina was making the passage between this
city aud Sacramento, the fireman was suddenly
knocked down by some object striking HIM in
the breast. He was unable to account for so
unexpected blow, when the mystery was ex-
planned by the presence of large salmon near
his feet, which must have leaped from the wa
ter some eight or ten feet, and with tremen-
dous speed took his route in the direction where
the fireman stood
