Discharged.—Our readers will recollect
that some time last week we noticed the ar
rest of a Catholic priest by the name of An

initted an assault on one of his pupils with
intent to commit great bodily injury, and
that being tried before Squire Peters, he
was discharged, lie was tried late yester

charge of an assault and battery, his off jnae
consisting in extracting some tcetli without
the child's permission. Considering that
his motives were of the best character, Jus
tice Blood discharged him.
Female Advancement.— We have received
the "Announcement of the 16th Annual
Session of the Female Medical College of
Pennsylvania." We don't believe in strong
minded women, or in the late&t doctrinc of
women's rights, but when the fair sex de
'.iberately go to work to accomplish any
good result, we say stand hack, for they are
going to do it. We don't see why women
shoul.l'nt learn the medical profession, and
our liberal minded Pennsylvanians "don't
see the point"!
either. The Umes for women
to sit and sear from daylight till da It f»r
six pence a day, arc gone—we hope—for
ever. The professions are being thrown
open to them, and when they attempt them
they generally succeed. Oar medical and
commercial collegea are beginning to be
beautified by their smiling faces, and soon
the dusty old counting rooms and offices
will waar aspects that will make old fogies
open their eyes. We ssy, give the fair
ones a chance—they are bound to have it.

RIVIOR *I wn.
The river has been stationary at this point
for several days. It is tailing at Saint Paul
at the rate of a foot per day. A splendid
stage of water is on both Rapids.
The wreck of the Kstie was sold at auc
tion lately for $1700. Capt. N. H. llazlett,
was the purchaser.
The steamer St. Johns arrived at Saint
Louis n the 12th from the mountains.—
She was three months and a half in making
the trip. Her cargo consisted of 700 bales
of robes for Robert Campbell aad John J.
Roe of St. Louis, aud $200,000 of Montana
goid dust for St. Joseph and St. Louis. The
boat was attacked on the way by Indians,
and Merrick, the first mate, killed and the
second mate severely wounded.
Mr. Wrn. Fisb, a well known Pittsburg'
snd Louisville pilot died at Cincinnati on
Saturday last.
We regret to learn that Capt. Robert Mc
Counell, formerly of Loui.sville, died at his
residence in Paducah one day last week.—
He was well and favorably known As one of
the best steamboat captains on the western
waters. He commanded the Louisville and
Nlw Orleans packets, and all famous for
their speed.
Captain Jack Reiser has had launched
from the Carondelet shipyard the hull of a
stern wheel steamer which draws only ten
inches. It is for the machinery of the
Cosa.
A shipyard has been been located at Rin
dolph, five miles above Alton. A stern
wheel hull will be built there immediately.
There are eighteen or twenty small ship
yards on the Mississippi and tributaries
above Cairo, outside of St. Louis. Such arc
the facilities on the Western waters for
boat building, that any number of hulls can
be built at short notice.
The Shamrock and Ontario burned their
boilers lately between this point and Cairo.
The Ontario had 302 men of the 35th Mis
souri on board, which she transferred to
the Melnotte at Island No. 18.
Captain John A. Duble, of Cincinnati,
has been appointed Assistant Superintend
ent of the Atlantic and Mississippi Steam
ship Company, lie will no doubt make an
efficient officer.
Messrs. Fisher and Stewart, local inspec
tors at Cincinnati, have given their decision
in the collision of the Missouri and the fer
ryboat Lady Washington at Cincinnati, in
which the} blame the pilot of the ferryboat
Jethro Bryan, for not answering the signal
of the Missouri, and also blame the Missou
ri for running so swift while near the city.
For Mr. Bryan's neglect his license has
been suspended ten days.
A deck passenger on the Rebecca, com
ing from Vicksburg, jumpid overboard and
was drowned.
The steamer Zephyr is reported to have
sunk while lately coming down the Red
River.
While the Robert Barns vss on Sre i
Metropolis, one of the deck hands asferti
that there was a keg of powder in the hold,
but her officers ware sure that they hail
taken no powder aboard. Capt. Walker
procured an axe and cut a hole in the deck,
through which tha man entered, and re
turned in a few moments with the keg in his
arms, followed by a cloud of smoke.

In making a strike for the benefit of Da
venport. it would not only be wise, but a
course of prudence to ado^t some pi in.in the
way of public enterprise, wliicn would pro
duce wealth in our immediate vicinity,
through which mf'i/u may be the pr thiclof
such enterprise, not only to the city of Da
venport, but to the county, wherein an in
crease of wealth would be productive of as
sistance in sueh enterprise. My ides is
that a railroad from Davenport to LeClaire
would do mors to build up Davenport, and
also create additional wealth, and corre
spondingly an increase to our revenue, than
any yet projected. There is a foreign de
mand for such a road, especially in very low
water season, in connection with the pack
ers above and below th. Kapids. It would
produce a regular transfer route from one
place to tl e other, and one that would par
take of that natural character which would
give it precedence over any other, whether
in operation or not. There are strong
reasons for the construction of s road be
twecn these points, but expecting the va
rious objections, not desire more than an
introduction of the matter to the public con
sideration. I am aware, also, that the old
objections would still confront its advocates.
If we desire to increase the wealth and
importance of the city, selfishness must he
laid aside, and the prosperity of those
around us, and the travelling masses up and
down the river, and the freight moving from
north to south, and rice tertu must becomc
a consul elation.
It seems, from some indications thrown
out by former writers, that the thoughts
are all centered towards the various trans
ports cast and west and roundabout trayi
to the South. Our prosperity depends
upon a general increase of wealth in our
midst, at the product of self-sustaining
enterprises. A road to Claire would 'in
mediately a fleet the upper part of the
county immensely. It would no* take bu
siness from Davenport, but would assist the
farmers in their transportation to market,
and all would be pecuniarily interested.—
Let the public dwell upon these thoughts.
This thing of hauling grain from l." to 30
miles, and our business men appropriating
the profits to some rai ro«d project in an
other State, or 100 or 200 ailes distant, is
not very pleasant.
a rebel ambush. It abounds in the most
interesting pictures of military operations
in the vicinity of Yicksburg, where Mr.
Richardson was captured and elsewhere,
and the prison scenes are tha most vivid
delineations of the horrors which our pris
oners endured that we have yet seen. The
writer of this notice luxuriated nearly eight
months in the hell-holes of rebeldotu, and
he fully endorses til that Mr. Richardson,
has written on that subject, as correct and
truthful. The incidents of the escape are
truly romantic, and altogether, the book is
one one of the most life-like histories of war
'behind the scenes," that our press has yet
produced. It should be on the table of ev

War?—Butchers are now buying fine
beef cattle from 3 to 3| cents per pound,
hut still insist upon keeping up the price of
the best cuts at jiftttn etntt. This is hard
ly fair—it is not fair at all. When they
bought at 7 and 7$ cents there wss some
sense in silling the best cuts at 15 cents.
We understand that the butchers at the
lower end of town have reduced the price to
1 cents. When do others intend to fol
low suit
