ew The new dog law, passed by the Leg
islature, has given rise to an interesting dis
pute as to the right of municipal authorities
to levy city tax on the CANNES. The State
law imposes fine of fifty dollars on any per
son who shall kill registered dog. Now
most of the river towns, Muscatine included
have ordinances taxing dogs to the amount
of one dollar, and providing that unless the
tax is promptly paid the said CANNES sinai
meet with violent death.
That the city has the right to levy the tax
there is not the least shadow of doubt, bu
the right to enforce its penalties is not 81
plain by any means.

fair illustration of divers Southern gentlemen,
whom we know by reputation. All they
wanted was to catch our troops out, then
thew would annihilate US. Our armies are
now out, and away they go. Even Corlnth'
their stronghold, it appears, is now evacuated.

TERRIBLE STORM. Yesterday afternoon
our city was visited by terrible thunder
shower. For nearly an hour the rain came
down in torrents, and Iowa Avenue and
portion Of Second street were submerged sew
eral inches beneath vast body of water that
rushed along with almost irresistible force
At one time the current was so strong that 1t
would have taken the feet from under any
one who had attempted to cross. Wagons
were moved several rods, and driftwood, lum-
Der, dead dogs, drowned pigs, and variety
of other interesting matter came on the bosom
of the mighty flood, rushing along towards
the majestic old Father of Waters-the COM
mon receptacle.
Fortunately, our citizens are beginning to
grow accustomed to these little freaks OF ma
ture, and those owning property along the
above named streets have long since taken
the precaution to caulk up their houses SO
that although they might float away they will
not leak. Very little damage was done, con-
sequently, much to the delight Of our city
authorities who turned pale when the thing
commenced and "the still small voice" whis
pered damages" into their bewildered ears
Unless it comes very soon, another such
flood will never occur in Muscatine. Meas
ures ar. on foot that, when carried into effect
will undoubtedly seal up the Iowa Avenue
fountain forever.-Daily, 31st GH.

REL1EvED.-The feeling among our citizens,
Saturday. when the news of the evacuation
Of Corinth became generally known, was one
of general relief. Muscat;ne county has
nearly thousand of her boys in Gen. Hal
lecks army and the report of terrible battle
at Corinth has been expected, yet dreaded
for weeks past, by their anxious friends and
relations. Although all are willing to give up
everything for the good of the Union, it is
but natural that the fond hearts of fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters shoul3 beat
with anxiety on the eve of an approaching
battle. Yet, though the dreadful occasion
may be only postponed for short time, it is
relief to know that the danger is not iHme'
date.

TIE Doc MATTER.-The Upton Advertiser
saws the JOURNAL |" is giving its influence
in favor of disobeying the law in reference to
the registration of dogs" The AdoertiseT is
mistaken. The JOURNAL does not advocate
opposition to any law. Although one may
think that the dog-law has many defects, we
arc still in favor of its enforcement.
1t is evidently dead letter in this city,
however, as only about one hundred and fifty
dogs have been registered, and as yet none
have been destroyed.

The Atlantic Telegraph once Nor,


Mr.. George saward, of the Atlantic Tele
graph Company, has addressed letter to Mr.
Cyrus w. Field, urging the expediency of re-
vising the project OF the Atlantic Cable. HI
says:
"The time has arrived when it beheoves The
friends Of the Atlantic Company to put fortt
their best energies, not only with regard to thu
mere private advantage of that undertaking al
o trading company but In promotion of the bes
interests of peace and civilization, for the pur
pose of raising capital in order to accomplist
the great design for connecting Europe anC
America. That design -nurtured by expensiy,
experience and worked out by careful subsequent
examiuRtion--is now in q condition to be realized
with very little risk and difficulty, If the pecu
mary means are entrusted to those who hay,
labored and suffered In its behalf" a to'
Mr.. Saward argues that the experience ant
information gained by the company in theil
former experiments have served to point on
the defects of the old cable, and adds: ~ -
"It was soon found that the internal construc
tion Of the first cable was all wrong. II shoult
have contained about eight times as much COD
per and three or four times the quantity Of gut
ia percha that were really employed; and ID,
construction Of It's external sheath should have
been regulated, as to specific gravity, BY the
depths Of ocean to be encountered; and as ID
its material, by the conditions Of strength and
indestructibility. These discoveries will, o
course, render the next cable more expensive
