TUESDAY, APRIL I.

LAcKno.--Ksokuk is lacking nov and
then in that kind of enterprise which ia.
vors production, and adds TO the pcrma.
nent wealth Of the country. Trade and
speculation arc keen, but productive L.
Dor, especially in the way Of manufactur-
ing, is too much neglected. Where are
our extensive Touring NILS. foundries
and machine shops,-our wooden manu-
factories, saw mills and lumber yards,
carriage shops and other manufacturing
establishments which attract capital and
employ labor-which give life and endur-
ing prosperity to city? Within easy
reach by river and railroad Of the mineral
and agricultural wealth Of the country. We
let our opportunities slide. and while busy
buying. selling and consuming the pro
ducts of other places We are allowing the
balance of trade to 60 against US, which
is continually making our condition worse.
But we were just now thinking of the
little item of an improved Flax breaking
machine. A considerable number Of our
farmers would be glad. to raise crops Of
fax the present season, and if they could
prepare for market the fibre, as we'll ~
the seed. it would be a most remunera.
tive crop. We notice, in other parts OF
the State, enterprising men have sent for
and procured machines Of this kind and
are prepared to accommodate the farmers
while doing good thing for themselves.
Is there not some ono in our community
who will do ~ much for Keokuk and the
farmers in the vioinity' Southerner
are learning to give up, Tor the time, their
great natural products, cotton, tobacco, su-
gar. &C., for cereals and the substantials
of life,--and We in turn must make our
selves independent Of our enemy in the
the material for fabrics of all kinds. We
trust this matter will receive the favora.
BILE notice Of some Of our many snserpris-
ing men and our farmers be assured ct an
early day that if they raise crop Of fiax
the ensuing year they can get the full ben
eft Of it.

Whilethe Frightening prospects Of the

tive value of gold, the Confederate curren-
ey 10 rapidly approaching utter worth

We received some days since a telo-
graphic announcement that gold was
worth 400. 400 per cent. premium in
Richmond. The Richmond papers since
received confirm this statement. The
Eraminer Of the 10th, states that gold
was sold on the 18th ct $4,25 premium.
an advance Of 200 per cent. within 1
week, thus bringing Confederate paper
down to 23 cents ON dollar. The Er-
aminer assigns Eve reasons which have
brought about this result: belief Of
the people that peace would come with
spring. and then cessation of the issue
OF Coafederata notes. Spring hes CONT,
says the Examiner, "but peace appears
more remote than ever. The people can
see nothing before them but long wears Of
war and shinplasters" 4-.A sudden
tide or emigration is setting from tho
Confederate States to the United States.n
The emigrants convert al they have into
gold regardless of the cost. 3--"Thc

lines were found In dead soldier pocket, on the ba

natl:
On ShiIoh's dark and bloody ground,
The dead and wounded layi
Among them was Drummer Boy,
Who beat the drum that day.
A wounded soldier held him up,
His drum was by his side;
lie clasped his hands and raised his eyes,
And prayed before he died.
uIook down upon the battlefield,
oh, Thou, our Heavenly friend;
Have mercy on sinful sous;"-
Each soldier cried, "Amen'
And gathered round the little group,
Each brave man knelt and cried;
And listened to the Drummer Boy,
Who prayed before he died.
oh Jesus" said the dying boy,
"I,ook down from Heaven on mo,
Receive me to thy fond embrace,
And take me home to thee;
Two loved my Country and my God,
10 serve them both I've tried
IIo smiled, shook hands, Death seized the Boy,
Who prayed before he died.
Each soldier wept then like child,
Stout hearts were they and brave;
The flag his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. s BoOki
The key unto his grave.
They wrote upon simple board,
These words--"This Is guide,
To those who mourn the Drummer boy,
who prayed before he died"
Ye angels round the Throne Of God,
Look down upon the braves,
Who fought and died on ShilOh's plain,
Now slumbering in their graves.
How many homes made desolate,
How many hearts have sighed,
How many like the Drummer Boy,
whoprayed before they died.
