Massachusetts, Hen on the Alabama.--A cor
respondent OF the New York Herald in
Cherbourg, who has visited the marine
hospital there, writes " found but two
Americans among the twelve wounded
men of the Alabama; one ofthese, whose
leg was cut of by q shell below the knee,
gave me his name and birthplace with
great reluctance. His name is Robert
Wright, native Of Boston, Mass, where
he has brothers and sisters living He is
very intelligent man, and gave me con-
siderable fntorlu8tiOn. He, and most of
the men with whom conversed, attribute
the destruction of the Alabama to the
immense force of the two l1-inch Dahl
g.en guns in tie KeaTsage." The writer
adds: "The carpenter, Robinson, who
was also native of Massachusetts, when
ne saw the battle was lost, drew his
revolver and shot himself in the breast.'

DES MONIES, FEB. 5, 1854
EDITOR HAwK-EYE:-1 have seen, twice
remarks in the Hank Eye in regard to tht
resumption Of the lands granted to thi,
State for Railroad purposes. It seems no,
to be understood what the real influence
are that demand such resumption. ALLOW
me to state it, as 1t is a very serious matter.
First, Congress granted to this State Ger.
tain lands lying along the Des Moines riy.
er, for the Improvement Of the navigation
OF that river. However unwise that may
have been, is now no matter. A question
arose as to the extent of that grant, that i,
as to whether it was from the mouth to Ae
Raccoon Fork, or to the northern bounda-
~ Of the State. 1t was finally determined
by the Secretary of the Interior, the Com.
missioner of General Land Office, and the
Attorney General of the United States, y
extending along the river to the northen
boundary, and accordingly large tract 81
land, al 600 acres were certified to tha
State, above the forks of that river; and
this land was all disposed of by the State;
part to settlers, and part to the Navigatios
Company, and by the Company to Others;
50 that all this land is now held by individ.
uals, many Of them actual settlers, these
lands being among the most valuable farm
lands in Iowa.
These matters were all supposed to h
settled, and no question was known to e..
list on part Of said roads, or the State, On
the subject, and it is believed that the Rail.
roads took the lands Of the State with thi
belief. But after the grant to the State 70
aid in constructing Railroads in 1856, The
Supreme Court Of the United States decid.
ed in 1859, that the grant to the Des Moins
River Improvement extended only to The
Raccoon Forks; consequently the al COZ
acres heretofore certified were Congress
lands, and thereupon these Railroads
crossing above the said Forks, being three
in number, Immediately claimed ali thoss
lands lying within the limits of the Rail.
road grant, were their lands. They persist
in claiming them, and Notwithstanding the
Legislature two years ago required the
most northern road to release in favor Of
those settlers, ii still declines. The Al.
torney General puts the case in this light:
have but little faith in any amicable
arrangement with these companies. The
very fact that they have persisted in claim
which, if successful, must involve large
class Of our citizens in ruin, or ma.y Occa-
sion civil war in our midst, and that, too,
upon a technical claim of right, in violation
of the intention of the State that has dealt
SO literally with them, is to my mind con-
elusive evidence that no other consider
tons than those Of interest can reach then
Fortunately perhaps for the State, this con-
sideratiOn can be brought to bear upon
them"
Is il just, then, when these Roads have
failed in so many particulars to comply
with the requirements Of law, that they
shall ruin our citizens, provoke civil war;
and involve the State 10 such y great ex.
tent? and that they should be permittedW
do SO when it can be honorably prevented

vs. Washington dispatch says that
on the eth inst. the President sent to the
Senate the nomination Of four Indiana
Colonies as Brigadier Generals. After de-
bate they were sent back to the President
with the information that only one Briga-
der General could be lawfully made in
addition 10 those already appointed or
nominated, and request that he would
designate which Of the four should have
the nomination. According to this state
ment, the chance to become Brigadier
General does not seem to be as promising
as it was.
