HE TOPOGRAPHY OF CAIRO. ILLINOIS.
Cairo is situated on the extreme Southern
point of Illinois, which, in dry weather and
low water, is dry enough for town, but at
high water, as in the present case, the sur
face of the river is eight or ten feet above
the level of the town, which is protected
by leyees, running several miles along she
bank of each river. This levee is some ffty
feet above iow-water mark, and is a ready
made breast-work, perfectly covered from
a direct fire from the river. Nothing can
be injured except from shetland two can
play at that game. North of Cairo several
miles, reaching from the river, is an intermin-
able swamp, passable only by the Illinois
Central Railroad And this road is well
guarded. Cairo, then. is an isolated dry
spot, and at all the available landing places
Major J. D. Webster has planted batteries,
we'll entrenched and supported, SO that the
channels of both rivers and their confluence
are commanded, and the batteries are SO
connected that they can rally instantly to
each others support.

The Policy of the Government.

Since the appearance of Secretary Sew
ards instructions to Mr.. Dayton, the new
iy appointed Minister to France, there need
no longer to be any misapprehehen-
sion as to what the policy of the Gov
eminent is to be towards the rebels
of the South. They assure the country in
terms which admit of no dubious con-
struction, that the question as to whether
we have or have not a Government, IS to
be rigidly tested. As the Albany Evening
Journal well SAYS, we all feel better, more
confident, more hopeful, now that the pol
icy Of the Government in reference to the
present rebellion has been defined, and for
eign Powers have been advised what will
be its position and its course. We feel
that heavy load of shame and humiliation
has been lifted off our shoulders; that we
can once more look the world in the face
and say, 1--WE have country, and Gov
ernment that knows how to defend its own
honor" We feel that Europe viii now re-
gard us with something of the old respect
that we shall no longer be the object of
taunts and insult; that we shall no longer
furnish theme for the maudlin sympa-
thies of reformers and the contemptuous
sneers of absolutists.
Europe, deceived by the apparent i'm
munity which Treason enjoyed, had come to
regard the dissolution of the Union as a
fixed fact" It's journals fippantly refer
to us as ''the late United States" ''the
late great Western Republic" The Lon
don Times in recent article assumed that
there would be peace, because the Gov.
eminent would make no resistance to the
efforts to break it up. Taking it for gran
ted that it would succumb to the storm,
they had practically ceased to trouble
themselves with the problem of its fate.
The manifesto of Mr.. Seward will serve
to undeceive them. They will learn that
we have Government, and Government,
too, strong enough not only to defend it
self against assaults from abroad, but
against conspiracies at home. They Will
learn that we were never SO strong, wheth-
er to strike or parry, as we are to day
and that however formidable the issue
which We have to grapple, we shall como
out of the trial purified and ennobled, =
We shall prove to the world that Amerl-
can Democracy is not failure, but the
most signal ssin the history of man
kind

Doctors Disagree

Judge Orion in the recent case of Cur
tiss ct. al. rs. P i. Mohr, has decided that
the Farm Mortgage act of the last session
is constitutional and valid. He says, in
his opinion, that the provisions of the act
are anomalous, and may occasion consider
able delay in the enforcement of contracts,
but that the obligation is not impaired,
and ultimate and certain remedy is still Sc
cured.
On the other hand, Judge Macarthur, in
the case of johnson as Weeks, rendered a
decision on Saturday last, directly contra
ry to that made by Judge Orton. He
contends that the law spoken of is bun

constItutionalit;es, being an evasion of JUS
tice from beginning to end.

tieed the quarrel among the Banks in Mil
waukee. 1t appears that the Farmers &
Millers' Bank would not unite in the agree
ment made by other Banks by which the
bills of all the Banks not discredited were
to be received and paid out till the 1st of
December next. TIE reason for this, as
understand it, was that this Bank insisted
that the Banks whose stocks had declined
should increase their securities and make
the community safe from loss, and unless
they did SO this Bank would not stipulate
TO receive and pay out their currency
This reasonable position taken by said
bank has aroused tie wrath of some of the
other banks and brokers in Milwaukee and
they are making war upon it. the only
offence given by the F. & NJ Bank, is that
it insists that the banks in this State shall
make their currency worth 100 cents on
the dollar.
This war, or crusade, against the Far
mer and Miller's is MAIDS up of the State
Bank, Bank of Milwaukee, Juneau Bank,
Alexander Mitchell, Price, Farmer & Co.,
Marshall & Illsley, Armstrong & Sphinx,
and Welmans & Jacobs,-so that the ma.
jority of the 'sConfedetates' are Brokers,
whose interests are usually promoted when
the currency is deprecated. The most of
their business is to buy and sell discredit-
ed money, and one can readily see why
they would like to put down an institution
which stands in their way.

The President has appointed A. B.
Jackson Register, and J. j. McClelland,
Receiver of the Land Office at Menasha.
While one class of Democrats are taken in
to the army, another class are turned out
of ofhce.-Denaocrdt.
The Democrat is more facetious than
reasonable. Not one fourth of the Gov
eminent patronage is in the hands of those
who voted for Lincoln, and yet when
there is an occasional crumb thrown in
that direction. Democrats indulge in some
such fling as the above. They ought not
to object to an equal division of the spoils
at least. If Republicans are content with
such an arrangement, Democrats certainly
should not find fault with it. While we
do net insist on an indiscriminate slauub-
ter of those who opposed the election Of
Lincoln, yet we claim that they should
not whine because they are not permitted
to hold an undue proportion of the Federal
offices. Is there any thing unreasonable
in this?

A Great Invention

The James Rifed Cannon and Proiec-
tile, " was patented some four years since
by Gen. Charles T. James, of Rhode ISL
and. 1t consists of system of rifing the
smooth bore guns at present in use. and
the adaptation Of the well known principle
of the rifle patch to the projectile to be
used in them when rifed, The proiectile
consists Of pointed cylinder with an ex-
pansible ring or band, with an outer cover
ing of canvass thoroughly saturated with
taIlow. The six FOUNDER bronze gun
carries ball weighing about six pounds,
when rifed it carries fourteen pounds Of
metal, and other calibres in proportion,
thus more than doubling its effectiveness.
The moment the powder ignites the gass-
es generated by the explosion, rush into
cavities which are made in the ball against
the e1pansible band, and pressing it out
firmly and equally on all sides against the
bore of the gun and into the rifed grooves,
prevents all escape of gas, destroys all
windage, and causes the projectile by rea-
son of its connection with the band to fol
low accurately the twist of the grooves
and to rotate on its axis on leaving the
muzzle. The accuracy is as great even at
the distance of two miles as that Of the
best rifles at ordinary distances.
To give some idea of the immense range
of this gun, y FOUNDER has fired and
ga miles. At range of 2 and 18th
miles, with less than the ordinary charge of
powder. the ball passed through small
pine tree and lodged deep in sand bank.

situation now to take a decided stand,

at the Capitol secure Let US have bold

change or Ne'o York, adding one per cent.
Exchange there is now selling at some
thing like 20 per cent, SO that their cur
rency, at that rate, is worth only 81 cents,
We should not be surprised to soon see
some movement of this kind in Wisconsin.
The merchants of this State owe it to
themselves to assert their rights in the
matter, and no longer submit to the shave
that they have groaned under for the last
six months When exchange on New
York costs per cent. as it does now, FOR
Wisconsin currency, then Wisconsin cur
rancy ia really worth but SO cents and
such fraction rs it costs to remit the same
to New York, say one per cent, the same
as proposed by the merchants of Chicago !;
and it should be received only at that rate.
Coin is the standard prescribed by law as
money, and anything short of that. OR of
less value, is not money, and should be SO
considered. The merchants of Chicago
have got the right idea, and we hope the
ball they have set in motion will keep roll
ing until complete revolution is wrought
in our Banking system, so that dollar
bill, Wisconsin currency, is worth at least
SO cents in coin, in the city of New York.

is sufficiently illustrative of their status:
GO Yesterday, a Methodist clergyman
went down to Staten Island to exhort them.
Billy Wilson drew his men up, and called
attention : The Parson then gave them a
very edifying and appropriate discourse. to
which, in obedience to the Co,onel's COM
mands, they listened attentively. When
the Parson had finished, Billy gave his boys
a short talk, somewhat in this wise BOYS,

has told you. 1t is all for your good take
his advice, and follow it fer there is no
knowing but what in less than in six months

Here voice from the ranks called out
Three cheers for He'll ? and they were
given with will.
The Parson, astonisbed and angry, asked
what it meant. Oh says Billy, The
boys don't know much about Scripture.

Montgomery and New Orleans, and they

borhood . "-Mil,caaufee Sentinel.
