Nav PAPER AT DAyESPORr. - esterdsy
We alluded to the fact tina, new daily paper,
republican in politics, was about to be start.
ed at Davenport, but did not give the names
Of the parties interested. The matter was
made public in the Democrat yesterday. -
The projectors are General Sanders and Mr..
c G.. PIummer. The former closes his
duties as postmaster on the first Of May, to
give way to Russell, Of the Gazette, and will
Immediately enter upon his editorial respon
sibIities. The Democrdt thinks that there
is no, room there for two healthy Republican
papers, printed in English, and that one or
the other will fail Great dissatisfaction
exists in the republican ranks, their present
editorial exponent being far from popular
This will be Of great Importance to the new
enterprise, and may ultimately lead TO its
success.
Gen. Sanders is an experienced editor
and good writer. He spent half his life
time IN building up the gazette and now,
Saturn like, turns around to deyour It.

THE KIDNAPPERS."
A FOOLISH STATE OF ALARM AMONG
THE COLORED PEOPLE.

We do not know how or 10y whom the
impression has been created among the
colored population, that our city is infes-
ted by medical students, who snatch
colored men and women from our streets
and convey them across the river for dis
section; but that such an impression ex-
lists and Is widespread, we have sufficient
proof. Many negro women will not ven
ture out doors after night-fall, and even
the negro men go in groups OF three, four
and five, some of them armed. Night
meetings, that were wont to be held I'M
Ill IL and IL o'clock, uniting servant
girls for the duties OF the next day, are
being discontinued, only few OF the
most courageous being wiling to incur
the dangers of the streets. On Sunday
night the male portion of the Rev. Mr.
Rlx's congregation left the house in con-
fusion, not unmixed with alarm, at the
announcement that two or more Of the
"stugents," as.they call them, had been
seen lettering about the premises, having
traced To that place II healthy female
whom they wanted that night for dissec-
tiou. II is most religiously believed, in
colored circles, that at least four colored
men and women have fallen into the
hands of the "stugents." frf
OF cour.e!there is not a shadow OF foun-
dalton for all these Wild rumors, yet 20
long a. there are persons to circulate

though somewhat delayed:
The splendid steamer w. II. Arthur,
one OF the largest on the river, met with
very serious accident last Saturday
morning while on her way, with full
load, from st. Louis to n. o. During tho
dense fog which prevailed on the morn
ing mentioned, she had been laid VI,
we believe near Cape Girardeau,. and
the fog lifted scfficiently to cause the
pilots.to deem IL safe to proceed down the
river. Soon after starting out, bank of
fog suddenly settled down, rendering ii
impossible for her pilots to reach the
shore, or even be certain in what direc.
ton it lay. While thus lost in the fog,
she struck some rocks about ten miles
below Cape Girardeau, which
knocked hole In her bow
and opened several butt seams,
causing her TO ship large guam.
tity of water. Her crew was imme.
diately put TO work rolling her freight
into the river to tighten her oifthe rocks,
upon which her great weight had caused
her TO slide considerable distance. The
Bismark came along side soon afterwards
and conveyed the horses, mules and pas
sengers from the Arthur TO the shore, and
then remained to assist her. At last ac.
counts the principal hole had been stop
