RErEL PROPERTY IN DuBuQUE.-We
are Informed that there is large amour az
of property in the city aud county OF Da-
buque, the titles of which are in the
hands of rebels in arms against our Coy
eminent. Would it not be well for the
United States Marshal of this district to
make inquiries as regards the facts in the
case. and if such property can be found.
seize it and confscate the same, in order
that the proceeds thereof may help to pay
the expense of suppressing the rebellion.

From the New York Times, Nov. IL


Within the past few weeks series OF
most important experiments have been
made in New York harbor, the result OF
which'will rcyolutloniz e, in great meas
ure, all existing modes of building i'm.
pregnable men-or-war. These expert
mants and the invention connected with
them, are not to be paraded before the
public for several reasons, but the follow
ing facts may be printed without a breach
of confidence.
Mr.. stevens, whose Battery has been
30 muck spoken OF, is the chief mover in
the matter. Some time since, being
alive to the important bearing which the
new ordnance discoveries and develop
ments in Europe would have upon the
future construction Of armed vessels, he
sent specially to the Eastern Hemisphere
gentleman of large practical knowledge
OF such things, to investigate anaiylically
the progress made By inventors of ships
and guns. That gentleman is now in
America. and has givena valuable account
Of his experience. The facts collected BY
him, and the results of ordnance trials a,
home, have. partially convinced Mr.
Stevens that there is now no iron clad
vessel in the world imperyious to the shot
that might be hurled against it. Urged
by this conclusion, he endeayored to End
out, BY the exercise of hiS creative facul.
ties, ii ship could not be rendered really
impregnable. The labor spent in trying
l,as not been lost, and there is reason to
ts.,eve tina, before long New York harboI
will, il the authorities wish it, be protect
ed by craft which can defy Warriors
or La Gloires
The experiments alluted to have been
going on privately, a publicity would de.
feat the object OF the inventor. The
success which has attended them, Lowey.
er, will lead almost Immediately to active
measures of Importance,
Mr.. Stevens believes. like many other
sensible men, that it is as we'll to keen
the world ignorant of what is going on
in the way of warlike preparations, until
privacy is not necessary, and can preserve
10 secret for the nation. Were il not fol
this some facts might be printed which
would astonish the natives of more than
one country. The representatives of the
respectable portion OF the press have nc
desire to delract from the value Of great
invention by premature exposure OF il

Alive.
The following statement is made of the
narrow escape of a wounded soldier from
being buried alive
After the battle of Newbern, North
Carolina, Geo. w. Green, a volunteer
from Cooperstown, Otsego county, N. Y,
was sent out with others to bury the dead.
Among the bodies picked up by Green
and his helners, was that of one Rufus
Petty, iron tie same county. The body
was placed on the strctcher and carried
10 the grave, and jus, as it was being low
cred into the grave, Green, who had been
familiar with Petty, thought he would
search his pockets 10 see whether there
was anything that might be sent home to
his friends. In 30 doing he ran his hand
up under his vest, and discovered that
his heart was family beating.
He announced the fact to his comrade,
who said it couldn't possibly be, as the
surgeon had made thorough investiga-
ton of all on the field, and pronounced
Petty, among the others, dead He was
then told to place the hand over the
heart, when he too became satisfied there
was life. Petty was subsequently carried
to the hospital. and recovered He re-
turned home, as did Green, and both men
were IN Albany few days ago.

Mr.. EDITOR While we were travel
ling in Vermont, it came to pass that we
found ourselves among the Green Noun
tains, stopping at public house in Sher-
burne. our host being Loren E. At
wood, who, by the way, together with
his amiable wife, carry on business in as
good style as any other mountain house
that we have found in Vermont. Every
thing is in pink style from cellar to gar
ret, and when we come to the table we do
not find, as is often found in some places,
two pieces of bread on three plates.-
There is nothing that looks specifically
about the table-but the real and actual
is there in various forms to suit the appe-
tite of the guests.
The things whereof we speak we do
know, having sojourned here for the last
three or four weeks for the purpose of
rambling in the mountains, which to us
was very pleasant, being lovers of nature.
Our visits to the mountains that surround
the little valley in which the Travellers
Home is situated, were very interesting,
by the great amount OF minerals and veg
etables that we met everywhere, and to
crown all the visit that we made Killing
ton Peak which is about 4 miles from the
Travellers home. We rode about one
half of the way-then took our baggage
on foot, (Which could have been carried
on horses and started for the mountain.
We found a very good foot path crossing
at short distances small rivulets of clear
cold water; which served to invigorate
and cheer US on over the green carpet of

We reached the summit about 4 o'clock,

toga letter of the season? If so, then on the

good price for his first salmon, and for his

ceive something handsome for this, which is
not only the first of the season, but it is also
my maiden Saratogue. l arrived here Sat
urdsy evening en- route for the meeting of the
National Division at Hamilton, c. E., and
having enquired OF the Conductor for
Temperance Hotel, l was directed to the
COLUMBIAN, on the corner of Broadway and
Lake Avenue, VIM. P. Hall, proprietor
This proves to be bona fde Temperance
Hotel - sufficiently elegant, genteel, and
spacious for anybody, furnishing its guests
with every comfort and convenience, and
having an air of Sabbatarian quiet, especially
on the Sabbath day. To all Tempe rance
men who expect to sojourn at Hotel here,
would most respectfully suggest the pr opri-
ETY. and the duty of Frtronizing this.
Ii person, totally ignorant, as | was, OF
every body and every thing i'll Saratoga,
could know that he was soon to be "unex-
pectedly called upon" to find stopping

ors' Guide, costing ten cents, to Robens &
Savage, Agents.
Any one of the boarding houses therein
mentioned on Broadway, would be so near
the Station, that, if he chose, he could walk
there carrying his own valise, and quickly
distance the whole gang oil important drum
mers and porters.
The Season Hotels have all open ed, but
there is not much company-no ne at all yet
from Dixie. Just at present it is very dry,
and very cool-some frost last night. Still
the water, the place, everything is perfectly
charming. The showmen are here with all
sort, of wonders-the greatest rarity being a
threeyear old Hippotpoamus,w weighing as they
say 1000 pounds, that, at the command of its
| Egyptian keeper,opens its mouth wide enough
as lady at the breakfast table said, to take
in six heads. I should like right we'll to be
sick enough to come here, and spend month
in the " delightful task of getting we'll, but
cannot afford it so therefore, my name is
Haynes, AID am off.
