Hoes RUNNING ia LARGE.-Considerab!
misapprehension has existed in certain neigh.
borhoods, as to the validity of the law re-.
strainlng hogs from running at large. The
following letter from Hon. John F. Dillon
Judge Of the Supreme Court, will set the
matter at rest. The law was voted on in this
county several years since, resulting in favor
Of restraining swine:
DAVENPORT, April Sd, 1864.
j. F. SHEPHERD. ESQ. Your lettes came
duly to hand. The Supreme Court has de-
cded that counties have the power to restrain
hogs from running at large, that is they have
decided that such laws are Constitutional,
If therefore the peop'e Of your county have
voted in favor Of such a law, it is Valid
Whether they have SO voted in your county,
is fact do not know, out which you can
easily ascertain at home.
1t is a mistake in the papers to state that
the Supreme Court has decided hog laws
illegal. Yours respectfully,
JOIN F. DILLON.

several cannon bursted, during which Lieu

men wounded. The Lieutenant was Jerome

promising young officers 10 the service. Let
tiers from officers state that this lamentable
accident was the result Of the most culpable
carelessness-a officer holding high com.
mand in the expedition, being too drunk at
the time to attend to his duties aud give
proper warning for the men to escape.

One Reason why Gold Goes Up.

One Reason why Gold Goes UP.
The imports of foreign dry goods in New
York for the month of March are one-third
larger than for the same month last year, and
twice ~ large as for the corresponding period
in either of the two preceding years. The
total receipts for March, 1861, were 1885,
o76; March, 1862, 1851 ,9O1 March, 1868,
1920, 5s1 March, 1864, $l2,o35, 127.
These valnes are the foreign cost reckoned in
gold, to which duty, freight and exchange
must be added to make the total paid by con-
sumers here. Reckoned in this way the
twelve and half millions must swell to over
thirty millions Of dollars.
Let our people remember that they are pur-
chasing more from Europe than they are sell.
ing, and one reason for the advance in the
necessaries of life can be accounted for. Buy
less silks and wines and use less Injuries,
and you will be enabled to get more sugar
and coffee for your dollar.
In March, 1851, our country was operating
on = specie basis. The government was pay
ing its debts in gold. For paper dollar
you could purchase As much Is for gold
dollar. During that month there was i'm
ported from Europe S., s36,o76 worth Of dry
goods, and this at only one custom house.
In March, 1864, at the Same port, there were
imported dry goods to the amount Of $l2,-
635, 1877, or more than double the amount for
1861. This is for one month only, and en-
braces only one branch Of our imports. Ev-
cry dollar of this amount must be paid in
gold or bills Of exchange. This is where our
gold goes--to purchase foreign fabrics in the
shape of extravagant luxuries. Abandon
these, and our people will witness no more
gold pan:cs such as characterized the stock
market last week. Don't buy more of Eu
rope than Europe buys Of US. Tax every
luxury for purposes Of revenue, and include
bank notes, and our greenbsck dollars will
bring US more of the necessaries of life

Notes of Preparation

The bugle sounds, and soon the veterans
will pass from amongst us. General Grant is
busily engaged in marshalng the SCARED he
roes Of the East-reorganizing corps, divis-
ions and brigades. Reinforcements are add
ing strength to the Army Of the Potomac.
Troops are gathering at Fortress Monroe with
the evident purpose of moving up the PENN.
sula. Preparations of the most stupendous
nature ars making for q blow against the
rebel Capital. When that blow is struck
may it crush the rebel power..!!
Gen. Sherman orders all available troops,
including veterans on furlough, to repair
promptly to Nashville. Troops are moving
from the lower Mississippi to reinforce Sher-
man, or the Army of the East. Not far dis
tsnt our brave Western boys will again meas
ure arms with the rebels under Johnston.
Knowing his weakness the rebel General is
gathering his reioforcements from the Allan
tic coast. But they will avail him not When
the spring campaign shall open, and Thomas
legions advance, it will be to victory. The
very flower of the Union army-the tried
veterans of the Southwest-the men who
never know when they are beaten-the he.
roes of Wilson's Creek, Of Belmont, of Dom
elson, of Shiloh, Iuka, Corinth, Arkanss s
Post, Vicksburg, Mission Ridge-they will
be there, and they will be victorious.
Veterans of Muscatine county, you have
but few days more to remain with US.
More stirring scenes, not unfamiliar to you,
will soon surround you. From Wilson's
Greek to Meridian you have written proud
history. Many of you have been keeping
step to the music of the Union" for three
years on the 14th of next month. Through
every campaign every engagement-on
every march-at all times and upon all occa-
sions, you have 10 faithfully and heroically
borne your part that you have become the
objects of anxiety and solicitude among all
classes of our loyal people. From your ar
duous duties you obtained q short respite.
We welcomed you to your homes with warm
hearts and open arms. We have watched
your conduct while at home, and the hear,
sickens at the thought that so many brave
spirits must SO soon again depart to engage
in the stern realities of war. You have con-
Quoted yourselves as good citizens and true
soldiers. Veterans, the browning act of your
lives was the voluntary offering Of your SER
vices for another term. You will soon enter
upon it. The prayer Of our people is, that it
may be short, full of glory and Of honor.
That you may soon restore peace to our
country, and return once more to the pleas
ures of home. 1t shall be our purpose ever
to defend and succor you. Your time at
home is short-make thu most of it. Be
merry while you may. Take your full meas
ure Of rational enjoyment, and when you de-
part may pleasure and success ever attend
YOU.

LocK JAw.-I have lately noticed several
deaths by lock jaw, aud for the information

any one runs a nail or any sharp iron in any
part of their frame, take q common smoking
pipe, fill it with tobacco, light it well, then
take thin cloth or silk handkerchief, place it
over the bowl of the pipe and blow the smoke
through the stem into the wound two or
three pipe-fulls will be sufficient to set the
wound discharging. have tried it on my

days standing, it will open it again if the
tobacco is good. Try it, any one who may
