1t is surprising to those who have been in
the city slnce its occupation by the Union
army, and who formed q very favorable esti.
mate of the articles of trade here to witness the
cart and drsy loads of cotton, rosin, &c, now
being stored in tho warehouses for shipment
to the northern markets. Where it comes
from NO one knows. Ten days ago all kinds
of vehicles for hauling could be found in idle
ness on the streets, but since the removal of
the restrictions on trade not one is to be seen
all are busy hauling.

Total valuatIon-city .................$34 9S, 5l9
Davenport tp......... ,OSS, O45
Balance of County,. 50 1896, l69
...SI, 5S2, I55
1t will be perceived that Davenport city
alone Is assessed nearly one half the entire
assessed valuations of the county, which we
think Is hardly correct. Either lands in Scott
county are worth but little and city property
worth good deal or else there is a great dis
crePancy AZ the relative assessed valuations
Our opinion Is that Davenport city .is taxed
too much and the county property too little.
We hope the board of supervisors will attend
to this matter and see that justice is done to
tax payers in this city. They cannot afford
to pay nearly one half of the tax levied in
Scott county. There is a mistake somewhere
which needs correction. Davenport Gazette.

sHERMAN's CONFIDENTIAL SCOUTS.

George W. Quinby and Myron Amick, the
two scouts from Sherman, who are the first TO
bring dispatches direct from the army since it
cnt loose from Sisters Ferry and POcotaligo
are the same who hoated down the Ogechee Rv-
er as the great Georgia march was drawing TO
an end past Fort McAllister, then in the hands
of the enemy, out into Warsaw Sound, where
they were picked up by one of our gunboats-
They are both enlisted men belong to the 18th
Illinois Infantry but long detached with num-
Der of others from Western regiments, as Gener-
al Sherman's confidential scouts. If there is
any particularly delicate business to be perform
ed by the scout service department, some of
these headquarters scouts are intrusted with it.
Two of them were killed during the march
through Georgia; and we believe less than one
half the original number who started with Gen.
Sherman on the Atlantic campaign, are now
alive and out of rebel prisons They go habit
ually, IN secesh clothing, adopting the dialect of
the poor whites of the South, and being accepted
by the inhabitants as struggling rebels, they are
iDtrusted with the entire stock of knowledge
about military affairs, which even the most rus
tic manage TO pick up somewhere. The trip
of Amick and Quinby, down the Ogechee, was
short and uneventful though extremely hazard
Gus. Toreach Wilmington they have been com
PEELED to travel hundred miles overland through
a difficult country, with no direction how TO
avoid the enemy, save such as they could pick
up from the negroes. Their success in sur
mounting the grave difficulties that beset them,
entitled their names TO be remembered For
the second time they are the first to bring defn-
lie news from the lost army.-Ci CincinHGtj Com

The Locality % the Last D,rch.

We should not be surprised if, when Rich
Inond had fallen, aud the discounted leaders of
the insurrection had been driven from every
city and almost from every house in the South
they might still find one safe place of retreat
1t is in the State of New Jersey, and among the
members of It's Legislature, whose devotion to
the rebellion seems TO be as ardent as that of
any journalist at Richmond, and whose hatred
of the loyal army as malignant as that of any
bushwhaeker of the Valley.
The New Jersey Legislature has recently dis
tinguished itself by voting against the amend
ment OF the Constitution which proposes TO re-
move from the statute-book the odious cause of
this bloody civil war. 1t has had the proud
satisfaction also, recently, of voting against an
act to give the right Of suffrage to the brave Jer
seymen in the field, who are exposing life and
limb in defense of the Constitution and the
Government. But the degrading littleneas of
its spirit was perhaps, most strikingly exhibit
ed the other day, when a bill was before the
Assembly to incorporate an association in Sus-
sex county, for raising monument 10 those ma
tives of the county who had fallen in the mill
tary service, engaged I'm the suppression of the
present unholy rebellion. y
As soon as the preamble was read, Mr. Hiff
jumped up and moved that the word "unholy''
be stricken out, and his democratic friends car
RED the amendment 1t was then moved sue
cessively by loyal members TO insert wicked
and causeless," "causeless" alone, and finally so
mild term as "uniustifable" but the same
majority, by solid vote, refused to condemn
the rebellion in even that milk-and water way.
At length one of their own number moved 20
insert the word righteous, which unquestion-
ably expressed their real feelings, but not
enough of them were sufficiently bold to declare
them openly, and so with the aid of the Union
votes, righteous" was also rejected. Yet they
had deliberately declared that the rebellion was
neither unholy, nor wicked, nor causeless, nor
uniustifable and only the fear of political con-
sequences prevented them from declaring that it
was righteous EUeziHg Post

DEMOCRACY IN NEW JERSEY.

A few days ago, the New Jersey Assem-
bly, refused to endorse the Constitutional
Amendment prohibiting slavery-eyery
democrat voting for slavery, and every Un-
ionist for freedom. Yesterday the Democ-
racy, in order to prevent a reversal of their
action, voted down the bill to to extend the
right of suffrage to soldiers with the army.
Every Democrat voted that the soldier
should he disfranchised, while every Un-
ionist voted to extend the high privilege to
all who would he entitled to it at home
These facts show with with remarkable
plainness that the Democracy dare not
trust their own men on the issue made by
defeating the Tribune
Time, which makes all things right will
one of these days wheel New Jersey into
the Union column.

CAvINGIN.

The Cincinnati Cnamercia is informed
that, few days ago, the remnant of the
notorious cavalary regiments once COM
manded by Colonel jenkins and latterly by
Colonel Kearns, or ''Corns, marched into
Charleston, West Virginia, from Wythe-
vile, and surrendered themselves, their
horses, armes and equipments to the Fed
eral authorities. They numbered one
hundred and twenty-six officers and men.
Having given up all hope of success, and
believing the rebellion '"played out they
thought it useless longer to kick against the
pricks, and decided to take refuge under
the old flag. They say that the few rebels
in arms in the Kanawha Valley are pre-.
pairing follow their example and will do
so whenever a fair opportunity presents it

Young man named Crockett, who lost lee

Railroad, when child, who can perform
feats with one foot, that few among lads of
his age in the neighborhood can perform
with two feet. He will swim ike a duck !;
he can run as fast as the fastest, bounding
on ike deer, and his skating IS marvel
lous. A dozen boys may start with him ON
the Ice, but he is sure to come out ahead.
Nor is it in straight course alone that he
shows his speed; with crutch in one
hand and skate on his foot, he will defy
them to catch him, and dodge as mimbly
as cat We doubt if there is boy that
can jump higher. He will leap fence as
high as his head, and surprises his associ-
ates by standing with his back to fence
that viii come as high as his shoulders,
turning somerset and coming down right

he would ever have developed so much

PRoeREss OF sUBJUeArIoN.


The events of the war of the rebellion
demonstrated long ago that nothing short
of subjugation would answer the purpose
in making loyal citizens of disloyal lead
ers Kind words and proclamations We're
treated with contempt, and the fixed resolve
to fight it out to the bitter end was hurled
in the teeth of our fiercest war-dogs The
work of subjugation has been going on sue
oessfully for some four years, and the word
used as such a bugbear at the south has
lost its terror wherever our victorious ar
mics have unfurled the old flag Look at
Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Vicksbure,
Little Rock, Natchez, New Orleans, Sayan
nah, Charleston and hundreds of other
towns of lesser note-none of them would
hardly be willing TO cut loose again from
the United States. Sherman, the great
subiugator, is welcomed by the people of
North CaroIina. The Wilmington Herald
of tie Union, of March I'd, proclaims that
the people of that city are subiugated, and
Judging from the tone of that paper they
appear TO like it The Union says-''In
our town of Wilmington it is very com
mon remark that Yankee soldiers are not
savages. In fact, as the eyes of the peo-
pie are opened, they begin to see hon
previously they have been deceived, and
everywhere is heard expressions of glad
ness that the national forces are 50 steadily
advancing and recovering territory, and
delivering the people from the thraldom of
traitors and demogogues."
