WHAT WILL BE Done ABOUT IT?-The
country round about Davenport for miles and
miles, is filled, literally crowded, with pork
which must find a market somewhere this
fall and winter. The question is, where is
that produce to be marketed and packed p
1t Dug to be done right here in Davenport
But we are afraid that nothing has been done
towards carrying on very extensive bust
ness in the pork line this coming season.
Dav. Dem.
That is question easily answered. The
pork buyers and packers of this city will b(
in the market for all the commodity that may
be offered One gentleman, who has Gov
eminent contract, wants at least $4,000 hogs
and expects to pack the greater part Of then
here. Tell your neighbors to bring thei
pork to Nuscatine, Mr.. Democrat.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT Extension Of
the H. and Miss Telegraph to Omaha.-On
Monday last contract was made by the Hi
nois and Mississippi Telegraph Company to
extend their line from Davenport to Omaha,
forming direct connection from Chicago
with the great Pacific Telegraph Line.
Workmen will commence putting up the line
next week and will have it completed in six
weeks, by which time the line will be finished
to the Pacific
The old telegraph line between this city and
Davenport will be taken up, and new set OF
poles put up along the railroad, by which we
will have connection with the main line at
Wilton. The arrangement will give us a
urer connection with the East, as the new
line will not be so apt to get out of repair as
the old one.

ize themselves into drill-squads, for the pur-
pose of acquiring instruction in the art of

when little knowledge in this matter may
be of great Importance Let us see steps ia

S1NGuLAR-Though it is we'll known fact
that Muscatine has furnished more men to
carry on this war than any other town in the
State, her claims to the rendezvous of at
least one of the Iowa Regiments are passed
by and neglected by our State officials. Othl
er towns that have not done half as much
are now enjoying large and lucrative bust
ness, resulting from the trade of the soldiers
ouartcred near them. The action of Gov.
Kirkwood in this matter is, to say the least,
very singular.

A CoINCIDENcE.-A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette relates the following Incl

day
Anxious to pay all possible respect to the
memory of the "Grcat Commoner," whose
fame Ohio yet guards as jealousy as his own
Kentucky, Col. Stedman marched his resi-
ment out to the tomb of Henry Clay. They
formed silently around the grave, and at the
very moment that these loyal troops from an
other State, on their way to defend Kentucky
from invasion, reverently presented arms at
the tomb of Kentuckys greatest statesman,
the degenerate son, James B. Clay, was
brought into the railroad depot a prisoner in
the hands of other loyal troops, arrested on
the charge of treason.

PROBABLE IMPosToR-A certain DR.. Rench,
residing in Rock Island county, on the oppo-
site side of the river, has for several weeks
been drumming up recruits for "Jo. Lanes
army in Oregon" protesting to be LIST Surgeon
under Lane, with authority to enlist recruits,
furnish outfits, pay fare to Oregon, and sal
ary Of $50 per month. Yesterday, several
persons who had agreed to go with him, came
to this city to make inquiry concerning this
matter. He had told them that his official
documents were deposited with Isett & Brews-
ter, which they found to be untrue. From
the fact that 10. Lane was last heard ofas a
strong rebel sympathizer, about to take up his
residence in North Carolina, we conclude
that Dr. Rench is practicing somewhat on the
credulity of his neighbors. What object he
has in it, we are unable to understand.
