NlCoTINA-lf there is more than Or
binary dizziness in this column to day, at
tribute it to the rise in tobacco. Yes
terday, we sat down to our desk as usual,
with the intention to indulge in a smoke
preparatory to something else. Tie pipe
which John McWilliams gave US, lay in
vi.insly on the desk, but the tobacco was
non est. We ran around the corner to
make purchase; but on learning that
tobacco was dollar a pound, We return
ed to the Office in state of melancholy
destitution. Our pocket couldn't com.
pass any such price as that. We must
abandon the use of the weed. 1t has
soothcd and inspired us by turns for the
past twenty years. 1t has helped Us to
write many localism for this interesting
column 1t has been the source of pro-
found inspiration in thousand instances.
Per- contra, it has occasioned inadvcr-
tent expectations in place where a
man ough ut to spit. 1t has evoked muir
murings and complaints from a lady with
whom we live on terms of considerable
intimacy. 1t has injured the coats of
our stomach and soiled all the rest of our
coats 1t has given us sallow, .jaundic-
ed, atrabilious complexion. 1t has Civ
en- US an aromatic breath aud grave
yard cough. 1t has produced dyspepsia,
emacaton and melancholy. 1t has used
up money which ought to have gone in
to the Missionary Fund for the evangeli-
cation of Tories and other Heatheus. 1t
has injured our teeth and impaired our
religious inclinations. 1t has disturbed
the evenness of our disposition, and
tempted us to be profane!
Tobacco is Satan in his narcotic state
Glad are we that the price of the article
is beyond our reach. Adieu, Nicotiana!

the Lowa State Register. We publish it

The Danger in the Northwest.


Gradually the seccssionIsm of the Chi
caco Times Golden Circle clique, like
Satan ia disguise, is showing its hoois.
T. \. Hendricks, a Democratic politi
clan Of Indiana in recent speech, him
ted at the idea of taking the Northwest
out of the Union, and the Chicago Times,
more bold and unbIushing in its treason
able zeal, takes up the idea and thus
rolls it like sweet morscl under its
tongue:
IF New England fanaticism and folly
and wickedness shall make restoration
impossible, the Northwest will take care
of herself and her own interests
We published a day or two since an
extract from the Richmond official organ
of Jeff Davis, disclosing the fact that
emissarics of the rebel Government were
about to be sent to the States of the
Northwest to manufacture sentiments IN
favor of just such proposition as the
Times now 50 boldly and recklessl y ven
tilates. The emmissarcs have no doubt
arrived, and been in consultation with
the treason sympathlzer OF the Times
and the rest of the Golden Circle lead
ers.
We warn honorable and patriotic men
against these criminal Vaccinations to
inaugurate secession in the Northwest
The people of tie West ere just as sound
and true in their devotion to the old
Union as arc the people of the East; for
the West and the East be brethren in
deed; but cunning trcksters may, by
their deceptive iutrigues, accomplish
that which all honest men would deprc-
cate as they would disaster and rain
We caution the public against the
noisonous seeds that are now being sown
broadcast through the Democratic press

1D-in these times when money is
hard to get, it is important to know
where You can get The best articles at
the lowest prices. Groceries are among
the things that must be had whether or
no, and W. S. & NJ. CuILDs have cot on
the best stock ever opened in this mar
ket and they arc determined to sell
little lower than any body else can do.
They do a cash business, and sell at cash
prices. Give them call and try them.

E~5 \ statement is going the rounds
Of the papers to the effect that the wheat
crop Of Iowa for 1852 amounts to Given
ty millions Of bushels, being l.-5O. 600
bushels mere than the crop Of 1861 -
We suppose the statement originated
with Gen. Wilson, the worthy Secretary
Of the Agricultural College, who is gen
orally pretty good at guessing. We think
he is wide o. the mark this time. We
don't claim that Cedar county is the
State, nor that the crop is poor all over
the State because it is so here. but from
all that we can learn from other parts of
the State we do not believe the wheat
crop Of the State is as large as it was
last year If wheat buyers are governed,
in their prices, at all by the amount of
grain raised in the country, such state
ments must be injurious to the farmer.
We should like to know what part or
parts of the State have been blessed with
unusually large crops Of wheat this year
We know that large portion of the
State did not raise half a crop.

writes to Commodore Goldsborough, under
date of Feb. 25th, noticing magnanimous
act of bravery displayed by John Davis,
gunner's mate on board of his vessel, at the

when shell from the enemy's battery pen

self on the barrel-the top being out-and
in this position he remained until the flames
were extinguished."

scandal Case in Chicago.

The ''fast" city Of Chicago has more
scandal cases in its "genteer society, and
more of them ''original" in their nature,
than any place on this Continent. The
last and most novel case of any that has
excited tho social circles of that remarka.
bic city is conspiracy case. 1t, in short,
is in this wise:
A Mrs. Harris wished divorce from her
husband an ex-alderman. Her friends Mrs,
Hills, Mr.. Vaughan, Mr.. Vogle, sad Mr..
Mcintosh, wishing to furnish the evidence
to enable the suit to be successfully prose-
cuted, applied to Mrs. Bellows, ard on
promise Of four hundred dollars, Mrs. B.
agreed 10 entice Mr.. Harris into such DO
sition that there could be no doubt Of bis
criminality with Mrs. B. when, on signal,
witnesses were to rush in and thus be able
TO teetify 10 the crime Mrs. Bellows wrote
a note asking an interview with Mr.. Harris
as she needed bis advice upon a business
matter. When Harris came Mrs. B. divulg-
ed the entire plot, and she and Harris then
laid the plan. 70 catch and punish the con-
spirators.
All things being arranged on both sides,
st certain time Harris visited Mrs. Bel
lows, having with him witness who took
possession Of corner from which he could
SEQ everything that passed.
When all was ready, and signal given,
Mrs. Hills and Mr.. Mcintosh rushed in and
instead Of catching Mrs. Bellows and Mr..
Harris fagrants dileeto, were themselves
caught In the arms Of the Police, aud are
now in the hands Of the Court on charge Of

The Town of Columbus.

The town of Columbus is small, uuim

miest days, Of about 1000 Inhabitants
As the terminus Of tho Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, it has business significance that
would not otherwise belong to it. II is sit
uated in low, fiat ground, and for mud
and dirt ofits thoroughfares resembles Cal
70. There are four large brick buildings
in the town--one Of them hotel, whose
principal patronage was that of railroad
passengers. We found nearly every house
vacant to-day. The people were driven off
last summer when the rebels took possession
of the hills. There are no provisions to be
had for miles around-the "Southerners"
having depleted every farmer of his produce
without giving him even Confederate scrip
therefor. There are few stores scattered
through the streets, but they are all closed
tho Davisites having "cleaned them out"
also. Altogether, Columbus is one of the
poorest and gloomiest townsI have come
across, even in the benighted regions Of
Secessia.- Cor. Gin. Gazette.

Island No. 10.

This Island is situated in the corner Of
that bend of the Mississippi river which
touches the border OF Tennessee, a few
miles further up the river than New Mad
rid, although nearly southwest of that point.
1t is located about two hundred and forty
miles from st. Louis. and nine hundred
and fifty miles from New Orleans. The
elevation of the river at this point is about
two hundred feet above the level Of the
delta, or its mouth. The average depth
of the water at this point is from ninety to
one hundred and twenty feet, and the
breadth of the stream, from mainland to
mainland, about nine hundred yards. The
current runs by the island at moderately
fast rate, and with the power of the three
rivers--Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio
combined. The island is near the southern,
or what might be termed the eastern, bank
of the river, but that, at this point, the
stream varies from its southern course, and
turns abrubtly to the northwest, leaving
this island in the southern angle of the
bend. 1t is about-forty five miles, by the
course of the river, south of Columbus, and
about twenty-six miles from Hickman. It
is near Obienville - Gin. Gazette.
