e he secretary 0fwar has sent to the senate
q copy of the report of the military commission
relative to Improvements at Rock Island, H.,
and the claims awarded for the same. The
commission find ten claimants to land on
Rock Island taken by the United States for
military purposes and award $685., 900 for
purchasing the same, $4,000 of which is

The chief of the ordnance bureau says that
the recommendation of the commission re-
speeding the location Of a railroad across the
island, and bridge across the Mississippi, and
granting of permanent right of way across
the island of a width of 100 feet, are approx
ed. The recommendations of the commits
sion respecting the kind aud character OF
bridge to be erected are approved, and rea-
sons given for recommending draw-bridge
instead of high bridge are concurred H.
He adds that the amount of aid recommend
ed by the commission to be given to the rail.
road company is very liberal if the company
have the right of way across the island, and
lift does not possess this right then the
amount is altogether too large, and should
not be granted.
The company propose that the govern
ment build over the main channel OF the river
an iron draw-bridge of a double track, the
wagon-way to be planked TO leave a lower
chord for a railroad track; the government
to give the company the right of way Over
this bridge and across the island, upon pay
ment of half the cost of the superstructure o
the bridge; the company to have five years
from Jan, |, 1861, in which to connect with
the new bridge, and 10 remove its present
track across the island, and old bridge ane
piers from the main channel. If the bridge
| is to be built by the government, as recon
| mended by the commission, an additional
| appropriation of 81, 100000 is requested o
| congress this session.

A few years ago some Indians, who saw
several women baptized by immersion in the
river at St. Joseph, Missouri, hole being
cut in the ice for that purpose, imagined that
the ceremony, which they could not under
stand, was to make them good, afterward
brought their squaws, cut hole IN the ice
near by, and gave them ducking, in spite
Of their circumstances.

TO rHB LADIES

The influence of woman is coeval with time
and bounded only by the limits of the world.
Beginning in Eden it has retained its power
unimpaired to the present day, and the sex
still WELD spell more potent than was con-
tanned in the wondrous lamp of the genii; for
they can sway the hearts and minds of men
by magic all their own, and yet while exer,
cising power which is little short of despotic.
so gentle is their rule that none of their sub
jects wish to break the slken chains which
bind them prostrete at the throne of purity
and loneliness.
1--WE didn't write the above, but the man
who did, has exactly expressed our opinion
of the sex, and in finer language than is con-
tanned in our lexicon. We use it here to in
trOduce the numerous advertisements which
appear this morning notifying the ladies of
the arrival of the latest fashions in the MILL
merry and mantua-making line. After reading
this notice, we hope none of our lady readers
will fail to read said advertisements

The Coming War.

All the indications in Europe, observes the
N. Y. World, point to war this summer be-
tween France and Prussia. The speeches in
and out of Parliament, the newspapers, the
state of trade, the stock lists-all furnish
evidence that the conflict is inevitable. Not
that the Emperor Napoleon wants to fight; he
would avoid it if he could with honor. Per
sonally, he is far from well; his army is not
prepared; the French needle,guns are not
yet ready, and the Exposition is under way :;
but events will not wait The French PEG.
pie are in passion of wounded national van
lty, while Prussia is insolent, imperious, and
evidently determined to force fight. Bis
marck seems to be of the opinion that blows
from without are essential to the consoI-
ldatIon OF the great German power he has
called into being. He insists that France
shall not have Luxembourg, his King threat
ems the French Emperor in speech from
the throne, while the needle guns swarm on
either bank of the Rhine
But if war takes place, what then? On
which side will victory incline? The event
alone can answer these queries. 1t is only
certain that the French Emperor has had a
run of ill-luck for the past two wears. while
fortune has favored his rival
Russia also seems to be not unwilling to take
advantage of the Luxembourg imbFoelIo to
seize Constantiuople. At any rate 1867 pro-
misses to be memorable in the annals of Eu-
rope.
Our advices by the cable are to yesterday.
the 24th. The Official Press of Berlin saws
in reference to the proposition recently sub.
mitted to the governments of France and
Prussia by the Great Powers of Europe. that
the Prussian Government does not find it ne
cessary to resort to those Powers for the pro.
lection of her rights. She will not leave
Luxembourg.
The latest kilograms from Berlin state that
the Great Powers have renewed their appeal
in the hope of avoiding war which now
seems imminent.

rated como within that scope? 1t looks so
to us, but We may not take correct view of
the matter. The giving of that check, when
there was NO funds in the bank to meet st, was
certainly a youthful indiscretion-and one
which may cause our Senator trouble If Gov.
Swami determines to enforce the laws of Ma
ryland. It might become an ugly affair if
said Governor should construe the transac-
ton, as some uucharitable people will; as OBJ

THE vIRGINIA BANKs-

In the Senate of Virginia, on Friday last,
the unfinished business of the previous day,

State to receive their own issues in liquida-

Mr.. Keen advocated the adoption. of the
law, while Mr.. 0uld opposed it as a measure
Tor the benefit. of Spectators, who have
bought up the. notes at a greatly deprecated
price, and they. werc anxious to have the
banks compelled to receive those notes in.

MIR. Keen and Mr.. Robinson denied that
II was a speculator's bill, but claimed that It
was measure OF justice 10 the people hold
ing the notes of the banks.
MIR. McRae commended that it was a Guess
ton with which the Senate had nothing at all
to to, do, bat must be settled by the Courts
The law would be Retrospective, and as such
would not be respected by the Courts
Mr.. Ould said the bill would be destructive
to the interests of the people, as it would in
duce them to go out in the community and
buy up the bills of the banks at high rates.

to make payment to the bank

Already case adverse to the Bank of the
Valley has been decided in the Circuit Court
of this county but upon it, the Bank has
already, or designs to take an appeal, and the
case will be carried up to the Court of APP
peals of West Virginia, Upon the decision
ofthis casebeiore that tribunal much depends,
and it behooves those against whom the Bank

Ployed to defend the interests of the people
before the Court of Appeals. A decision in
this case will cover the whole ground, and as
hundreds of our people are interested, we
suggest that there be some understanding and
concert of action to have the case fully and
fairly represented. If the Bank of the Val
ley gains this suit, the people of Jefferson
and Berkeley counties will be compelled to
pay their indebtedness to the Bank in the
present currency. IF the Court of Appeals
should sustain the verdict of the Circuit
Court of Jefferson, then the Bank would be
compelled to receive its own paper-which
we think would be just and right.
