ance of more perfect and cheaper facilities
for crossing the Des Moinos at this place al

large extent Of country South and South

roads, the central position Of the place, the
enterprise Of our Merchants, the heavy
stocks and low price. Of goods, our excel
lent mills and skillful mechanics, all are con-
tributing to build up here a very large trade
Tie question Is, shall. that trade be made
permanent by suitable facilities for crossing
the river, and good roads leading to us from
different directions. We direct attention to
this important matter, hoping it may elicit
prompt and the right kind Of action.

A Night of Accidents.

The up train of the B. & NJ Road, came
in contact with a freight car, which the high
wind Of Friday night had started, solitary
and alone, down the road from Batavia sta
ton, about u miles east of Batavia, on the
night above mentioned, and was brought up
standing and kept so through the night. The
engine was somewhat damaged. and the ten

nison, jumped off, lit square on his feet
turned half summersault, lighting on his
head, and finally fShed his fireman, who
had landed in the creek, ont Of the water,
the latter injured, but not seriously.
Being aboard Of the train. we can speak
more definitely Of the passengers, who spent
the night in the Cedar bottom. as comforta.
bly, as circumstances permitted. There was
goodly company Of Ladies' and Gentlemen,
most of whom thought supper was late. and
few were decidedly of the opinion that a
the gentleman whr had can ef oysters on
such an occasion, ought to be immortalized
There was considerable excitement during
the night, growing out Of the momentry ex-
pectation of train arriving from the east
which did not get along until near o clock
Shortly after the accident hand-car was
dispatched TO Ottumwa, in response. to which
an engine ard platform car arrived towards
morning. The Ladies took passage on the
Locomotive, RI the gentlemen on the plat
form car, and in about an hour were landed
safely at the Depot House. - 1a. '
It affords US pleasure to say that the Con
ductor. Mallory, and the other officers o.
the train, did everything in their power tc
contribute to the comfort Of the passengers
The occasion Of the accident was a ca,

On the saHac stormy night, the KeokuI

gave way under the weight of heavy trair
of freight cars, and some six were precipita
ted into the creek. and considerably smashed

no damage, and the passengers escaped harm

One OF THE HUMANITARIAN MOVEMENTS OF
OUR TIMES although little known as such, can
hardly be over. estimated in it, Importance
upon the we'll. being Of our widely scattered
communities. The population Of. the Ameri-
can States is in many sections so sparse,
that skilful Physicians arc hardly available
to them. Vast numbers Of our people, are
obliged to employ in sickness, snch medical
relief as they can hear Of from each other, or
indeed any they can get from any quarter
Hence arises the great consumption of Pat
ent Medicines among us, greater by far than
in any Of the old courltrss, where skilful
physicians are accessible to all classes. In
principled men have long availed themselves
of this necessity, to palm off their worthless
nostrums, until the word has become synonv-
nous with imposition and cheat. One of our
leading Chemists in the East, DR.. AVER, is

skill Of our times to bear, for the production
Of the best reno dies which can be made

good, at the same cost, than they will bran

flood our country are Discarded for those

mending retrenchment He feels himself
constrained to renew the suggestions hereto
fore submitted by him. that the property OF
the Rebels should be made to pay in part,
at least, the cost Of the Rebellion.
Property of great value in the loyal States
and held by proprietors virtually engaged in
the guilty attempt to break up the Union,
which is justly forfeited TO the people, which
should be subjected to seqncstration or con .
fiscation Of claims arising from tho war, and
the pIope ty of rebels in sad said State
sho1,d be treated in the same manner. The
right to service under State laws must Of me-
cessity form an exception to any rule Of con
fiscation. Persons held by rebels under
such law to service as slaves may, however,
be justly deb irred from their constraint, and
made more valuable in various cmp!oyments
through voluntary and compensated service
than if confiscated as subjects Of property.

All the merchants in the Territory arc re.
quired, by order Of COL Cahny, to turn
over their money to the Messrs. Donaldsons
of Santa Fe, as loan to the Government.
On the 18th ult., band of Navaioe Indi-
ans went to Carols, near Albuquerqc. The
same Indians have been committing depre-
dations on large scale.
1t is understood that Col Cabny is about
to change the system heretofore pursued for
holding the savages in check. v
Instead ofkeeping the troops collected in
one post he will divide them into companies
and station them at conveniet points on the
frontier from which they can make rapid
pursuit after Indins when they attempt rob.

Measures are being taken to establish a
mail route between Santa Fe and Denver
City by connecting link of forty miles from
Colorado to Flo ,ntain City.
When the route is completed, it is stated
that Messrs. Roberts & Co., contractors for
carrying the mail from Indepcn dence to
