DR. CRAvEN's BooK--Dr Craven's book Is making some sensation. It is the first of a series of personal histories for which our great war has afforded material.
 It begins with the head of the heroic men
 ofthe South, and allows tho the great pris- oner to tell his own story. The specimens we have seen are not quite up to the clear, strong stye of MT. Davis speeches, but are sufficiently characteristic for purporses of identity The story of his prison treatment ---the scene of the manaces, the internal light ever pouring full upon his aching eye balls, the unceasing tread of the guards, tho horror experienced from the reflection that human eyes were ever upon him, his speeches. solitude, the feeling that one by one the cords of his existence were loosen ing--is effectively told. The offence sup posed to have given occasion for treatment so severe, was not that for which he IS to be tried in Richmond. It was quite another; it was that of complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln The charge has been abandoned by the Govern ment. The witnesses who flew to Wash fington to charge him, have fled from ter TOTS of justice, because they were perjured villains, and dared not go into court with their damnable lies. The ofense for which he is to be arraigned in October, being of political character, need not have invoked chains and silence. It is probable there fore, that the amelioration af the prisoner condition began with the breakdown ofthe assassination charge. But the wrong
 nevertheless, has been accomplised. The story is abroad, and the world will pore over it with rare relish We have not seen the book, but the copious extracts before the public sufficiently illustrate its merits

A few weeks after late marriage, the husband had some peculiar thought when put ting on the last clean shirt, as he saw no ap- pearance of washing" Thereupon he rose earlier than usual one morning and kindled a fire. When hanging on the kettle, he made q noise on purpose to rouse his easy wife. She immediately peeped over the blankets, and then exclaimed:
 My dear, what are you doing 1"
 He deliberately responded:

 The attention of the Assistant Commission CTS of the States of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida, is called to an act of Congress for the disposal of public lands for homesteads and actual settlement in these States. approved by the President, June 2lst, 1866. By the provisions of this act freedmen and whites who can take an oath that they have not borne arms against the United States Government, have the exclusive right till January 1st, 1867 of entering public lands in the following manner. The applicant must make an affidavit that he is at the head of a [ family or is 2l years of age, or shall have performed service in the army or navy of the United States that the application is for his own exclusive use and benefit, and that said entry is made for the purpose of actual settle ment and cultivation, and not either directly or indirectly for the use or benefit ofany other person or persons whomsoever, and upon fl- ing the said affidavit with the register or re- ceiver of public lands at the land office of the districts in which the lands are located. and the payment of five dollars, the applicant can enter not more than eighty acres of land and take immediate possession of it. At the end of ten years, if the land has been held and cultivated by the applicant, a patent giving him full right and a legal title to the land will be issued upon the payment of five dollars.
 Assistant Commissioners should make themselves familiar with all the provisions of this act, intended to extend the privilege of securing homesteads to loyal whites and freedmen, giving them till January lst, 1867, special opportunities of obtaining homes by the mere act of settlement and payment of five dollars, secure from any Interference likely to occur. Information of location and quality of lands, the manner of entry, the ad- vantage of this offer of the Government, the increased security, and the many reasons for companies of these people entering lands ly- ing contiguous should be collected and pre- scented in the strongest manner.
 Public lands can be entered at the following land offices in the States named: Alabama, Montgomery; Mississippi, Jackson; Louisi- ana, New Orleans: Arkansas, Little Rock, Washington and Ciarksyille; Florida, Talla- hasse.

we believe, one abolition newspaper in Iowa
which was not creditably, honorably repre-

suspended publication because all hands en-

A firm feeling charseterizes the market for pig

We hear of sales of cold blast at sos co. also of so

tuns Of No. foundry brought s54 90 short
time Bar iron is not in great demand but the
prices are well maintained, Flat, round aud
square boiled is quite firm at cents. Nails are
in good demand for the season, which is suf-
fcient to keep stocks down; lod may be quoted at
81 90.
The proposed duties on iron have much to do
with streng tbening the views OF holders Blu, IL
will be difficult to say how far the wholesome
effect of these duties may be overcome, by the in
fuence of the ready to burst forth in
Europe. England, to gain a market, that the
commissions the continent will destroy, will be
satisfied to lower her prices to the degree that
our duties are increased.
