Mr.. EckgL:
In the journal Of Friday, | notice
some remarks you make with reference to the
turning water down the south side of Fourth
Street, and the flooded condition Of Poplar
Street during heavy rnin; aud you ask, when
will the Council do something for this street
That question should have been more frequently
asked, aud asked no often that the City Council
would have been made, ere this, 10 answer by
living up to the City Charter which requires that
every leading street (those running North and
South should carry off it's own water. Just
lock for moment Mt the Outrage imposed upon
the people Of Fourth above Poplar, and the peo
Pile living on Poplar from Fourth to the wharf
by pouring upon them, during every rain, the
water from nearly One-fourth of the city. Did
you ever notice that the water from the South
cas-. corner Of Tonth and King ut the basin,
passes down Poplar street by coming down King
to Ninth, and then down Ninth, across the ponds
in the brick yard, sc. Not only SO, but oil the
water from the crots streets, on the east side OF
King, from Ninth to Fourth inclusive, flows into
French and Walnut, aud gathering as it goes,
carries flood to Fourth street. when it turns
down Fourth, and what cannot get into the mis-.
cradle little opening at Fourth aud Poplar
Csoarcely large enough TO vent bucket full
often running over the pavement and filling til,
cellars there, goes into Poplar to rash out the
tax payers in that taUored street

Tue Philadelphia Commercial List, Of the 18th
instant, pays the following tribute to the late
DAVID KIRKPATRIcK:
AsornRR DISTINGUISHED MERCHANT GOEE.-
The loss of an eminent tradesman is Of at least
AS much Importance to the community as the de-
mise OF prominent politician OF soldier. "Peace
hath her victories" aud among them, the sue-
cessful prosecution OF commercial enterprises
deserve the foremost rank, on account Of their
advantageous results. On the 18th ult., Phila-
dclphia lost venerable merchant, who was long
noted MS amOng the must upright, energetic and
successful Of her business men. DAVID KIRK
PATRICK, to whom nllusiUn is made, was the son
of Capt DAVID KIRKPATRICK. who served as an
officer Of the patriot army during the whole period
OF the revolutionary war. The sui ject of this
notice was born at Newport, Newcastle County,
Delaware, on the III Of April, lIS9. At the
age of sixteen he cane TO Philadelphia, and tn
gagged as an apprentice with BARNES ABBOTT,
hide and leather dealers. Young KlRKPArRlcK
had scarcely reached the age of maturity when
MIR. BARNES deceased, and DAVID entered the
concern ny the partner of Mr.. Timothy ABBOTT.
| MIR. KIRKPATRig x continued to be actively en-
gugel in the snbie line of business up to the pc
rod of his death, preserving during his long
business career Of fifty two years reputation fuI
integrity, energy aud honorable dealing which
was never impeached. There are not many
parallels to this protracted term Of honornbit
activity in the walks Of trade. Mr.. kiRKPArRCR
married Mt the age OF twenty five years, and al
his family, consisting of eleven children and theii
mother, survive him. He WAS strictly moral
and religious man, and for twenty-eght years
was Ruling Elder in the Central Presbyterian
Church Such career should prove suggestive
TO the rising generation of business meu ii

portion OF the Eighth Regiment OF Iowa
Volunteers arrived from their rendezvous at
Davenport yesterday morning. II seems that
some OF our citizens wrote to Governor
Kirkwood during the exctemens Of the ap-
pretended attack upon Athens, representing
the critical condition OF affairs there and the
imminent danger Of the railroad and neigh
boring towns in Iowa, in case Moore should
be defeated, and calling for help. There
we're no organised regiments Of volunteers
at Davenport, but the Governor presented
the matter to the volunteers OF she Eighth
Regiment, and ofioers and men unanimously
voted to come at once to our assistance. In
pursuance thereof several companies and
fractions OF companies, under Col. Hoffman,
started for the scene OF danger without pre-
psration, camp equippsge or anything else
to fit them for q march, except by river and
railroad. The regiment not having been or
panised nor the men sworn into the service
| OF the United States, the design Of the move
ment was simply to come to the rescue
sgsinst the apparent impending peril. The
danger is over for the present, ard little
reflection would have prevented our citizens
msking SO loud call for help from such .
distant quarter, or ct least might have in
duced them to telegraph again, when they
learned the danger was over es they did
in few hours after they sent out their cal
for help.
AZ the troops are here, they will remain .
few days, ill Col. Busse,'s Regiment il
ready to take the Seld, or till all apprehen
sions Of further danger in this section shal
have subsided. And then it will be neces
cary for them to return and await the com
