IB* Editors, notwithstanding the world ci pecta (hem to, don't know erery thing any more than other folks. In illustration we notice in oar Uat Cotmeii Binlli Baglo an editorial upon the profits of fruit frowing, wherein it ia assert ed that Urge apple trees often produce from 40 to 60 boaheU of fruit in aaeason! fW Mr. John W. Wbiawn, cleric xf tbe ateamer Alice wax fatally injured by the break' ing of die lerer to a capstan nesrKeosanqna, on the 21st inat He died on tbe 22d and was hur ried by the Odd Fallows. Mr. W. was from ZaneeviUe, Ohio. A LtrcRY FKLLOW.—The Rogeraviile (Tenn.) Times has the following "A short ttmo since a fellow from Buffalo Creek, Carter county, was imprisoned in Elisabeth town jail for burning a barn. The citixens of the place, learning that he waa from the neighborhood where the small pox was raging, broke open the jail and turned him ont, and then told him if be dind't leave in fifteen minutes they would tar and feather him." Advertisement. F. BROWM'8 E8SMCK OF JAMAICA GIXOXR.— We call attention of our readers to the Adver tisement in our columns, of that well established remedy "Brown's Enscnce of Jamaica ginger," prepared only by its proprietor, at the corner of Fifth and Chesnut streets. It is at all times bene ficial, but at this season, when affections of the stomach and bowels, and particularly the sum mer complaint are so common, no individual or family should be without it. As a companion for travellers on long journeys and by sea^ inll be found invaluable. AUCTION* AND COMMISSION HOCSK AT MT. PLEAS ANT.—Attention is called to the card of. Messrs. Amsden & Terry in the proper place. pi* A man in Boston died on Friday last from drinking adulterated milk, The physioian who analyzed the noxious fluid found that instead of chalk, it had been adulterated with bismuth. ROMUNG TOE MAIL.—Samuel Curtis, post master at Shcbbonna's Grove, De Kalb county, III., and his wife, have been arrested and taken befot e the United States Commissioner at Chica go, on a charge of robbing the mail. Curtis was committed for trial, in default of $4,000 bail, and his wife discharged, there not being sufficient testimony to warrant her being held. The de tection was made by means of decoy letters. DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION* THREATENED!— Not of these United States, but of the Canadas. Journals of Upper Canada are severe—savage, in their remarks touching the aotion of the Gov ernment in voting to remove its seat to Quebec. The Hamilton Banner says If the ministerial intention, in regard to the seat of Govenment, is carried out, a dissolution of the Union will be immediately demanded by the people of Upper Canada, for they are de termined on not submitting to such a gross out rage. Being denied Representation by popula tion and dragged at the head of a pricstridden compact, in Lower Canada, Upper Canadians will resort to the dissolution scheme to remedy their position." FLINT HILLS.—The new ferry boat FLINT HILLS, Capt. FRENCHI, arrived here Monday night from Cincinnati where she was built. She ap pears ^to be a staunch and well built boat, is 130 feet long and 40 feet wide. Her engines have sufficient power to propel her against an wind, we are informed by the captain. The cabins are finished in good style, and the boat is every way a superior one. Cost about $12, 000. With two of the best and it is probable the largest and best ferry boats upon the Upper Mississippi, immigrants are certain to cross the river at Burlington without risk or delay. And merchandize and produce are not likely to be deUyed for the want of necessary facilities for ferrying. STAVE AND BARREL FACTORY.—Messrs. Cock A Heisey have crected a saw mill and stave fac tory, with a cooper shop attached in the lower part of the city, which is now in successful oper ation. We visited it yesterday. Their machines are worked by steam power, and cut the staves and heading smoothly and with much precision, doing the work with great rapidity. The bar rels which we saw were very fine and said to be better than those manufactured by hand. Elm, Whitewood and Sycamore are used, after being steamed. The proprietors inform us they are able to cut staves and heading for three hun dred barrels per day. STARCH FACTORY.—We have in the vicinity of Burlington a corn starch factory, which, it is said, consumes two hundred bushels of corn per day. We have made frequent inquiry as to own erehip, business Ac., but never obtained but the single fact stated, that some two hundred bush els of corn was daily used. The starch made is said to be of good quality and is sold by our wholesale and retail grocers. We suppose the owners, like others, find ready sale at remunera ting prices, for ^11 they can manufacture, and are therefore not disposed to advertise their bus iness in any way. Tn CAPITOL.—We have been shown a letter from Ft Dea Moines, received last night, from which we learn that the Commissioners have unanimously located the Capitol in East Ft. Des Moines, oue-third of a mile from the river. The writer says the location is a good one, and that the people: of the Fort are quietly acquiescing in the wisdom of the location. He thinks necesas ry buildings, for the use of the State can be put up in time for the meeting of the legislature. THE RAPIDS.—We notice Mr. Thorington has presented memorials from the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce and from sundry citisens of Iowa, asking an appropriation of |600,000 for clearing out the obstructions to navigation in the Missis sippi river at the upper and lower rapids. fW last Sunday was a very windy day here, and much more so, it seems at Muscatine. Much damage was done there by the unroofing of houses Mowing down of chimnies, and disper akMt#f logs in a raft and destruction ofea old boat at the wharf IB* A daily paper will be published by the General Conference of the M.E. Church during ita session at Indianapolis, which will be called the Daily Advocate, and will contain the general routine of each day's business as the official or gan of the body while in session.

The internal bnproreaoeat committee to whom was referred a remonstrance of nadry peraoas against quarrying stone on certain streets, re ported that in their opinion (h« city waa making money by hiring atone and earth taken away trim the places named and that ih* committee had heretofore granted said privileges drinking the city benefited thereby and thay were still of the same opinion. Report adopted. The flame committee al«o reported that they hare obtained of the former city engineer the maps and pro files of streets and grades belonging to the city and had deposited them with the eonnty treasu rer. Most of the btidiness done was in ndjosting claims and settling for work oil streets. Tbe internal improvement committee and street superintendent had more business prepared for the Council than could well be attended to in one evening. Messrs. Gavin & Banan were pres ent and represented that tbey had done work on Fourth above Washington st., that had never been accepted by the committee or settled for by the city. The sum was quite large and they were not able to carry on their buainess unless the city would be more prompt in accepting and paying for their work. The committee were un willing to make a full and final report upon the claim of Messrs. G. A B. in this locality as they were of the opinion that the work was not done as it should have been, and not exactly-in accordance with the contract. Yet they believ ed the contracts should be paid—aa what bad been done was sufficient for present purposes, and wished council to decide the matter withont obligingtthem to make the regular estimate. To this the council objected and ordered the com mittee to make the necessary estimates and re port the same to council. The committee were ordered to consult with the city engineer and make the necessary im provements at the corner of Main and Angular streets. The bill of Messrs. Thompson A Co., for printing was referred to the committee on claims, and the following bills ordered paid, viz:. Henry Graneman,"- 1' -f $23 00 L. Baur, P. Flinn.

Both subjects were referred to select commit tee, with instruction to report at the next stated meeting. Council then adjourned until Thursday eve ning, at which time they expect to meet the Committee of the Burlington A Mispuri lUver Railroad with lease for their approval ." It would be rather difficult, we opine, to find a place, upon the Upper Mississippi, and there are not many any where, presenting more outward signs of business activity, progress and rapid growth, than Burlington. Wherever the eye rests—wherever in tho city limits you may chance to find yourself, the utaost activity is visible, and the ear is saluted with the sound of the hammer, the forge, the saw—with the hum of labor in Its thousand forms. The carpenter, the brick and stone mason, the joiner, the plas terer and painter,- are working ea'ly and late, preparing dwellings for waiting and impatient tenants, and erecting and finishing business houses for men who are counting the dav«, we had almost said the minutes, until they shall be ready for occupancy. The eity is pushing forward its grading and McAdamizing—streets are opened—eminences levelled and hollows filled, and crooked places made straight. The R. Rd. Company is putting down side tracks grading and Uying out depot grounds and preparing to erect necessary build ings. All the channels of trade arc crowded. The river is in good boating order. The landing is crowded with steamers receiving and discharging freight, and the levee piled high with merchan dize, produce and plunder. The eastern cars are pouring into our city passengers by the thous and, crowding our hotels and all the means of conveyance toward the west. Our Commission Merchants, Jobbers and Ma chine shops, are sending goods, groceries and machinery, to the interior, to an amount entire ly unprecedented. Immigrants with their stock and household plunder are crowding our ferry boats and thronging our streets. In short, Burlington is just now more like an immense bee-hive than any thing else. She con tains a goodly number of workers and but few drones. Even old fvtgyism which had become chronic, catches the prevailing spirit of activity and enterprise, after a few weeks residence, throws away its cruthes, and "runs with the ma chine!" Diddled. The Rome, N. Y. Sentinel, after1$pyipg our account of the robbery of Mr. Arnold-at the American House, in this city, says: The A. Arnold above referred to is the same "Adam Arnold" we suppose who formerly resid ed in this vicinity, Lear, or at Oneida. He left these parts very mysteriously, and it is supposed slily took with him two or three thousand dollars, as be left owing considerable here. It is true that his property was burned, but it was under sucb circumstances that the Insurance Company refused to pay the loss, and we believe no attempt was made to collect it. A day or so before said Arnold left these "diggins" be obtained some |200 worth of goods of one firm in town—got his note endorsed for several hundred dollars, got the money at the Bank, and went oS| owing some $600 or $800 in this village. These facts show that "A. Arnold" has rot a considerable of the "Old Adam" in him. We caution the peo pleat the West to beon their guard against such fellows. Arnold, while in our office, shed tears copious ly over his kiss. A few beMTolent aad aympa thisiag persons got up a lubcriptlon and raised SMney for his relief, how much we doi not know IW A boy tbe other day fished up the body of a man at Keokuk. Upon the finger was a Urge gold ring and in the pocket Jivt cent*.'— How very characteristic is this of the world How much of vanity it speaks. The world is full of men of pompo*ity, who use large sounding ^.Y, words and whose heads are a gread deal emptier than this poor man's pocket. How many there are who bedixaea their persons in all the gaudy colors of th? rainbow, shining with jewels whoee fingers are covered with "large gold rings," that, ipon inspection wri&d tnrn Mt even poorer.

Mr. Morgan objected to further examination of the Senate's bill to remit euties on goods, wares and merchandise destroyed by fire. The Home reconsidered the action overruling the decision of tbe Chair that the bill did not make an appropriation, and was therefore not re quired to be referred to the Committee of tbe Whole. The decision of the Chair was then sus tained by 50 rrajority, and after an unsuccessful motion to make the bill the special order, it was sent to the Committe of the Whole on the State of the Union. The Senate bill amendatory of the act estab lishing the Circuit Court of California was passed. Adjourned .. NEW YORK, April 28. A dispatch from Washington rays that Mr. Gladstone's statement In the British Hons» of Commons respecting Mr. Bell's particular jn structions for the settlement of the Central Ame rican question was not justified by facts.

In the connection he said: "Mexico is in a state of dissolution, divided into factions, and drawing out a miserable existence by selling her territory to this country. In Central Amer ica there has been a series of revolutions for years. Cuba, the last remnant of the gigantic despotism of Spain, is necessary for the protec tion of our commerce, and for the national re pose and security. The law of nations depends upon circumstance its foundation is reaton, righi and justice. We have not our connecting link between the Atlantic and Pacific States,and that man is gnilty of moral treason who. halts about the means of seizing the Isthmus. It must be taken, even at the expense of a war. It is manitest as a national necessity." In the course of his remarks, he said England had the address to induce our Governmento to reject a fa vorable treaty with Dominica and had besides exerted an influence over Spain to our detri ment.
