IMPROVEMENT IN THE COUNTRY Last
country short distance, and we We're sup
prised and pleased at the Improvements that
presented themselves on every hand. This
is particularly the case in the township Of
Featherstone, where whole quarter sections
have been fenced and broken up this, sum-
mer. and where new houses, and large
there. Major Harrison, Mr.. Stoddard nd
Mr.. Perkins have each contributed new
house and barn to the general improvement
of that township this summer, besides ru-
mcrous others that we do no: now call to
mind.

THIEF CAUeHr.-Last Friday Sheriff
Chandler received telegram from the sher-
if of Dakota county, that theft had been
committed at Hastings and the thief had
left, going down the river in . skiit. Mr..
Chandler kept his own counsel, and close
watch, and Monday morning one Of his
sentincls reported to him that skiit had
landed at the upper IeHae. The sheriff
watched the man who landed, and was
not long in detecting that his conduct was
suspicious; after selling some hides to
Messrs. Sterling & c., he carefully pat
rolled the alleys and the b'c!< part Of the
business houses in the City, evidently look
ing out for chance TO "lit' something
when it should become dark The sheriff
then teegraphed to Hastings for more per
feet description OF the thief, and found that
it corresponded to the description Of the
man he had been watching. 50 Mr.. Sher~
if takes Mr. Thief and locks him up, and
sent word to the Sheriff at Hastings to
come and take his game.
This is evidently another Of desperate
gang that is now infes:ing the upper Missis.
;sippi. Mr.. Chandler already has one scoun
drel in Jail who broke into, and stole goods
from the store Of Mr.. auSon, and not long
ago negro was arrested at ST. Paul who
| con reSSed that there was a Derfect Orraniza
ton Of thieves plying up and down the river
! OF which he was member, and that the

The PROSPECTIVE "QuEEN Cry" OF THE

The PROSPECTIVE "QuEEN CITY" OF THE
NoRTHwEsT-It appears, from our San
Francisco correspondents report, that the lit.
tic town of Pacific, on Bakers Bay, TIasA-
inyton Territory. is shortly to he pushed for
ward into "rural" metropolis, by the ac-
cession to her present population of several
hundred people, the erection of mills, wharves,
and all the concomitants of thriving wes-
tern city. The steamer Hermann is to be
placed on direct line to the hcdging, and
give Portland the "cold shoulder from the
outset. 1t is also stated in the Portland pa
pcrs, as a rumor, that Holiday Il Flint's
steamers are to proceed no further up the riv-
er than Bakers Bay, while the Sacramento. a
California boat, is to be placed Oh direct
route from Pacific city to the Cascades; and
that the enterprise is based on capital Of
considerable over a million Of dollars. If
this be true, Portland will have to succumb
to more powerful rival in Pacific city. Bully
for Washington Territory! The gold.ields,
are in our Territory, and she should receive
n portion of the benefits. The Salmon river
mines may have been Set offinto anew Territory,
by the late Congress; but if so, We still claim
n greater share of her affection than the
State Of Orcgon-at least until she settles up
the old score against her for allowing her
wealth SO long to find an outlet through
Portland.

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT-LooK OUTl
We were shown this morning, by Mr.
A. ]. Gerstner, who keeps a clothing
store on East Washington street, nearly
opposite Little's Hotel, a counterfeit
twenty dollar green back, which is well
enough executed to deceive those who
are not in the habit of closely serutiniz-
/ ng money. 1t was presented to him
Saturday by a young man who purchas-
ed one dollar and twenty FIVE cents worth
of goods, and got the balance of the
twenty dollars in change. The general
appearance Of the bill is good, though in
that it may be easily detected The sig
natures are good limitations, though the
ink is paler than the genuine The
shading generally is imperfect, the lines
course and heavy. The vignette is rather
shabby, the robe, face and hair being lit
tie better than the work of a pen or
crayon pencil. The engrayings on the
back is also very coarse and blurred. The
p5Ssce are ON the srack of the counterfeit
er, but it will:b we'll for every oneto keep
look out.-Ind Gazette :! -.

COL MARKLAND.-The Louisville Jour
nal of Wednesday says.
This able and efficient officer, known
in all our southwestern country as a spe-

has gone toward the front, where. if we
are rightly informed, his services are
sadly needed to set free the accumulated
mail matter at Nashville and other points,
and speed it forward to its destination in
the camps of our gallant soldiers. Col.
Markland is the man for such services
and for all others that his country may
require of him. We do not doubt that
in an incredibly short time he will right
everything that is wrong in the post
arrangement of the southern region OF
this Department. Col Markland's SER
vices to. our cause have been and are in
valuable. Intelligent. practical, sensi-
bic, energetic, resolute and. faithful, he
has deserved we'll of his country and {

BG- A letter from Chattanooga says
hundreds of deserters from Bragg's
army are coming into our lines. In one
night thirty-six, from different parts of
the rebel lines, found their way through
to ours. There was one North Carolina
conscript among them, who said that the
late conscription in his State had raked
up every man who could carry musket,
and that, without single exception,
they were friends of the Union. He said
that whole companies of them, officers
and all, declare openly that they would
desert at the first opportunity.

A. WONDERFUL, SALyE.-A paragraph
has been going the rounds ofthe press in
which an account is given of horse
heving new hoof grown on by the use
of a certain farrier's ointment Now
this reminds us Of an incident that hap
pened in Lyons, Wisconsin. A Mormon
priest named Nichols professed power
of doing miraculous things and com
pounding wonderful * medicines. He
made nerve and bone all.healing salve,
and thought he would experiment a little
with it He first cut off his dogs tail
,andzapplied .some-of the salve to the
stump ANEW tail grew out immediate
y. He then applied some to the piece
of tail which he had cnt off, and a new
dog grew out. He didn't know which
dog was which. This may seem tough
story, but we have Nichols word for it,
and we don't think he would lie.
