Miss, has arrived home. He has been prison.
er eighteen months, and is reduced almost
to a skeleton. He was in the famous, rather in

He represents the treatment of prisoners there
as horrible, and the statment he gives seems to

from the hands Of the rebels would not be be-.

to commence talking about a new ferry boat
but We are interested in this matter, and now
that the old "Decalion' is numbered among the
things that were, we wish to urge upon the pro-

substantial boat. If we had good boat to
ply between the shores of Illinois and Iowa our
merchants would soon feel the benefit of it, by
q large increase Of trade from Illinois-a trade
which now goes either above or below us. Let
us have good ferry boat and the road near the
landing on the other shore repaired, and we are
the results will be gratifying to all parties.

ton, whcih lies over.
Mr.. Doolittle wished to have the reso-

Mr.. Doolittle said i: desire to call at

mentioned without at all entering into
discussion. The resolution instructs
the committee to inquire into the pro-
priety of tax on all sales of both real

by the tax would be SIS, 0O0, 600 year
