The report of a recent American
naval exploit in the Chinese waters,
is officially confirmed. Tho difficulty
which led to this attack on the island
OF Corea by our war vessels under
Commodore Rodgers, originated sew.
eral years ago, when, at Corean
port, vessel OF our fleet was wantcn-
ly fired. No apology or reparation
was given, and recently, when our
fleet, with that of Great Britain, was
making survey Of the mouth Of a
river emptying into the Yellow Sea,
they were fired upon by masked bat
terlcs on the shore. 1t WINS in retail.
lation for this outrage that Commo-
dore Rodgers vessels made the late
attack, on the small fortified island of
Konghoa, and landing his men on the
shore, captured or destroyed several
forts and 4Sl cannon, killing and
wounding several hundred Co:eans,
and driving their forces inland. This
will not probably be the last OF the
mattcr.-Corea Is an extensive PENN.
sula, bounded east by the Sea OF ia
pan, which separates it from Japan,
south by the Pacific, and west by the
Yellow Sea, which divides it from
China. The island has a Government
OF its own, but is in fact a dcpendcn.
~ OF tho Chinese Empire. II has
population OF about ten millions, who
are about on an equality in all re-
spects with the people OF China prop
err. The island IS about $50 mules
long anl frorxzOO to 800 miles wide.
1t has high mountains, deep rivers,
show and ice, gold, silver, lead, iron,
lock salt, rice, wheat, cotton, fax,
ginseng, tobacco, traits, silks, sables,
ma,tens, bears, deer, wild boars, roy
al tigers, and Thirty and forty feet of
snake aud crocodile rs common oc-
currence. The population are Tar
tars, vino talk in monosyllables, read
Contucius in Chinese, worship Budd-

Iowa sends greeting 10 the Republicans
of Ohio, pledging forty thousand majority
for Carpenter us Governor Of lows in 1871,
and Grant for recollection in 1872.
But Ohio could MT see the Grant

ton ordered the following in reply:
The Republicans Of Ohio rejoice in the
cheering prospects Of their brethren in
Iowa, aud assure them that 0hie will, in

That any one, at all acquainted

could recommend him as in sympathy
with the "Revenue Reform" Sham,
and that lie is disposed to cooperate
in efforts to 'hasten a thorough rev.
enue leform," as understood by the
signer Of the letter, is one Of the

such was done, is, doubtless. OH a

The Chicago Jouonal says the tariff reso-
lutien Of the Iowa Republican platform be-
gins and ends right for protection, and
tina, i, is veil that it is 50, for the Estate is
overwhelmingly protective in its tariff prin-
cples." We do not believe either of these
statements, and think the Journal must
have got It's information from the delegates
rom The hn.organited countless Council
L. uiis Nonparel.
The Journal and Nonparell are
both half right. The estate is over
whclmingly protective in its tariff
principles and the Convention per-
mi,,cd revenue tariff platform to
be ioistcd upon tho party, though it
nominated one OF the strongest pro-
lcc!ionlsts OF the State for Governor.

The completion OF the Great Rail
road Bridge across the Mississippi at
keokuk should be a source OF con.
graduation to all Iowa.
The foundation stone OF this stu
pendous work was laid on the 10th
day of June, 1869; the superstruct-
ure completed on the LIST of April,
1871.
The first train crossed on the 14th
of April, last; and it has since been
formally tested with a load of five
hundred thousand pounds on each
span.
The iron work weighs in round
numbers 5000 tons. 1t consists of
eleven spans, the total length being
1892 feet. The draw is $50 feet long,
weighing 410 tons. worked by a
beautiful little Merrlck engine. This
enormous mass is moved easily as a
garden gate; opening or closing in
two minutes, with the regularity of
clock work.
Those Of our readers who have had
occasion to make trip east, and re-
member the tedious omnibus and
ferry transfer at Kcokuk, will be
pleased to learn that trains now cross
the Mississippi on this magnificent
bridge, and 60 directly through.
Orr growing State has just reason
to be proud of her railroads, reach
ing in every direction, none of more
Importance than the new through
limo just opened to the east and
south, and for which we predict an
immense popularity.
The talcy of the Des Moines Val
ley depending on Chicago alone as a
market has 0 ten been shown; and
the attention Of our people again and
again called to the Importance Of a
st. Louis connection. We now have
two routes to st. Louis, the North
Missouri and the Des Moines Valley
the distance from Ottumwa by the
former being PIT miles, by the latter
252 miles-the route via Keokuk be-
ing twenty FIVE miles the shortest
and as this line now forwards freight
without breaking bulk, we see no
reason why it should not do the larg.
err part OF the business.
Nor will the trade with St. Louis
alone be benefited. For, in addition
to the already popular route to Chr
cago via the c., Il. & c.; the new
line just opened over the T., Il. &
W., via Gilman, to the same point
will be in active competition for this
lucrative business; while we have no
doubt the Great Wabash, over whose
road the Red Line, the Great West.
ern Dispatch, and the Star Union
Line run their through cars, will be
in the field stronger than ever. II
fact the advantages thrown open by
this enterprise are almost incalcula
be
Few western cities enjoy the rail
road facilities afforded to Keokuk
four no ads already center there, and
two more arc to be completed this
fall. At present, twenty strictly
first class passenger trains leave and
arrive daily, passing through the I'm
ion Depot, running without change tt
Logansport, Columbus, Toledo, For,
