LEvEE MArrERs.-The levee which protects
Muscatine Island is in danger of being wash
ed away by the high water, and should be
attended to Immediately. When it is under.
stood that this bank affords protection to
thousands of dollars worth Of property which
must be destroyed in the event Of break,
the necessity for immediate action must be-
come apparent.
In this connection perhaps it might be well
to say word to the farmers on the Island
They must not wait for the city to take the
first STEP but tax, it themselves. It is their
property that is in danger, and if they do not
move in the matter they cannot expect the
city to aid them.
P. S. We understand that a number of
the citizens Of the Island have volunteered to
work on the levee, to-day. We
hope all who can will assist them, both from
he city and country.

upon the abolition of the true cause of strife.
The reply of Mr. Adj is described as hav-

of Northern politicians, which is to have the
liberty to deal according to circumstances
with the slavery question.

his conscience by the remark that "dis war
massa's turkey, and l is massa's niggah, and,
Oh course de noah turkey eats, de noah
niggah massa has"
The fact is, the greater part of the money
expended is spent in this country, and the
more the government spends the more the
people get.
