standing near, remarked that what he
said might be true, but he did not believe
it. Moss replied that be would bet him
treats for all the gentlemen present that
he would make his dog do three things,
he telling him 10 do them. The captain
took the bet.
Old Moss then opened the door and
went out on The guards, followed BY the
captain and gentlemen present, who were
quite anxious to see the sport. Moss
seised his dog BY the nap Of the neck

lie touched The water, Moss yelled out

3 PERsosAL.-We had the pleasure Of
receiving . call from our highly esteemed
friend, General Sam. J. Rice, on Satur-
day. The General is on his way to Little
Rock to resume his command.
1. seems that report was started that
his appointment to Brigadier General
ship, was made under a mistake, and
that the commission was really intended
for his brother. This report coming to
the ears OF Gen. Rice induced him to ten
der his resignation at once. Thereupon
he was ordered to Washington City, and
assured by the Secretary of War tina,
there bad been no mistake in the premises
whatever; that he had been promoted for
distinguished services at Helena and else
where upon urgent military recommend
aticns of his superiors and fellow soldiers
in the army, and that the case of his
brother still remained before the depart
men, to be considered and decided en-.
We are glad that General Rice returns
to the service, for We think amongst all
her gallant sons, Iowa has no nobier msn
or more promising officer in the army than
Sam. j Rice.

Editor Gate ity:-Why are not our
people and others interested more alive
to the immense importancs Of bridging
the Mississippi River at this point! 1t

so as not to obstruct navigation. The
objection Of obstructing navigation is .

scarcely over three months of the year
during the high water OF spring that boats
attempt to crawl over these rapids.
Railroad com mpanies have bridged the
Mississippi, and will do it again when
