Bonney, Esq., of Montrose, lowa, arrived in this city in the steamboat Champion, with two of the five murderers of Col. Davenport, Wil- liam E. Birch, alias Haines, and John Long, alias Howe. Both these men are well known in the k River re- gion and need no description at our hands. The people there will always rejoice to learn that Fox, alias Sutton, was arrested, a long time since by this same chivalrous and ‘has been kept in irons secretly safe in one ofthe jails of this State.

He succeeded in bringing the two Hodges to the gsliows, but Tom Brown is at large haa recently b traced from Iowa to Missouri, Indiana and Ohio. He i making arrangements to pass counterfeit money, finding out the proper places to stop and the men to circulate it. It will be remembered that when the two Hodges were tried, Birch, Sutton, Long & Co. were on hand to prove an alibi, as usual.’ It was of no avail howe: They were hung protesting, not their innocence, but that there was not evidence enough to hang thi Bonney succeeded so well in the case of the that he was induced to undertake the discovery of the murderers of Col. Davenport. By a process best known to himself, a disclosure of which would deprive nim of his magic, he discovered that the murderers of Col. Da- venport were Birch, Sutton and Long, and two others, who should be arrested and taken to Hock Island, wher- ever found, with or without process. The two others are John Baxter and Aaron Long. Let all, those know- ing these men organize a posse instanter, and take them to Rock Island ‘here is a gan lawyers and tavern keepers all along that country, who are in the secrets of these murderers, and in due time will be exposed. The publications in this paper, by representing these villains somewhere in this vicinity still, enabled Bonney to find them out. Every number of this paper has been seen by Birch and Sutton; and when ina Ohio they felt safe. The keeper of the great depot of all sorts of knaves, at St. Louis, showed Birch the first article about ‘im. is usually the case, after the mucder, they all fled to Upper Missouri, to in’s, to stay until some one should write them whether they were mistrusted.

There they stole three horses and fled to Terre Haute, Indiana, near which they separated, Fox, alias Sutton, taking a route by himself to the resi- dence of his father, a respectable farmer by the name of John Fox, in Wayne county. There he was arrested for passing counterfeit money, and beund over in the sum of $800. His father baile him. Bonney esked them if they knew he was arrested?

Trape anv TRavet on THE Laxrs.—The increase in the number of passengers and in the amount of merchandize on the steamboats, propellers and sail craft navigating the Lakes, has this year exceeded allexpectations. From the very cominencement ot the season the larger and favorite boats have had full loads of passengers and freight, and now that the winter 18 approaching a pace, every craft that comes up the Lukes is loaded down with men and merchandize, seeking a home or a market in the free and fertile West. For the last three or four days we have had a succession of crowded bosts. The Oregon came in on Wednesday with some six hundred passengers and crammed tull of treight. The Missoun: followed on Friday with an equally heavyload, And on Saturday the magnificent Em- pire came into port, Eoating. noes her ample decks and within her capacious hold the largest number of passengers and the greatest amount of freight ever transported in one vessel on the Lakes. The number of persons landed at this port alone must have exceeded tour hundred, while the pier was fairly littered up with boxes, bales, chests and mer- chandize of all sorts. One wonders at first where they all come from and whither they are all going. But upon a little reflection it becomes a matter of surprise that the rush is not greater. Certainly if ‘ople at the East could see with their own eyes this Lerritory of Wisconsin, and satisty themselves by their own experience, of the te lity of the soil, the salubrity of the climate, the cheapness of living, the low price of land, and the large returns Wenieh: the teeming earth yields to its industrious cultivators, the tide of immigration, though already swollen to such a deggee, would be doubled and trebled. Wis- consin, indeed, is the country for the man of mod- erate means and industrious habits. It is a land of Promise and Hope, and as such will be eagerly out by a the Ser oes or the New, who lesire to mend their condition, or bette! a tunes.— Milwaukee Sentinel.” ipnaea) IMPROVEMENTS IN CHARLESTON.—On Saturday last, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Charles- ton, was held iu the City Hall, having in view a re- sponse to the invitation of their brethren of the ‘est, to meet them in convention and fraternal counsel, and devise means for the development and lunprovement oftheir. common resources, and the completion of their ‘commercial and social con- nexions, by means of rail-roads and otherwise. The following is an extract on the subject, from the Report of the preliminary Convention: -“* Neither less important for commercial and military pur- posesthan the Weetern road, (the military road from Memphis to the Western frontier) is the great line of rail-road from Memphis to Charleston, South Carolina—the construction of which has al- ready, by private enterprize and State appropriations been provided for and progressed in, to near 130 miles of its completion from Charleston to Mem- phis, and 50 miles of the remaining 130 miles dis- tance is nearly all graded. This great thoroughfare should be completed, and it might be speedily done if an agreement can be made between the stock- holders and the States now concerned in it, and the general government, that an appropriation shall be made to it upon condition that the mail, troops and munitions of war shall be transported over it tree of charge to the United States. When accomplished, it will bring the traveller, at Memphis, within two days of Charleston, and within four days of Wash- ington City—aflord the like speed and facility for the traneportation of freight, and in case of war, it would place the dis; le forces of Tennessee, Kentucky, &e., concentrated m it, within two | days of the Atlantic border, at leston.”” Yentleman, or even a young woman, North Carolinians born. The former is 23 years of age, and has broken nearly every frontier jail in the West. The latter is 23 years of age. He and Fox have been at their deviltries eight years, and have never, before this year, bnen arrested, as they boast. Long is a pupil of the celebrated villain,Brown,who was killed at Bellevue, Iowa, a few years since. Bonney, after securing Fox, went in search of Long and Birch, who, with ano- ther knave, were to have robbed an honest old farmer near Sandusky, Ohio, on Saturday night, a week last. They were to do as they did by Mulford, if they could ; if not, as they did by. Davenpot ‘When Mulford counted out the money on his knee to Birch, he said to Mulford, “You must havebeen a d—d lazy devil not to have cove spt ther more money than this, at your age.” Birch says he never killed a man in his {i posed to killing But Long said; tell no tale: . ‘There is no doubt, howe- ver, but Birch or Long either would kill West if they could get a good chance. By the way, they stole a splendid race mare in Missouri, which Bonney had left io Indiana, until her owner snould give some orders as to the proper disposition ofher. Bonney first saw B: at the race track in Little Sandusky, and recognized Col. Davenport’s chain; and, as a stranger, frequently spoke tohim’ But,ss Loug was Dot with him he did net rest him. Finding that they were to be in Lower San- dusky together, d of them and made ar- rangements for t! and they came passeng: Just as they were about being arrested, a neterious blackleg, purely out of sympathy, and without the least naintance with them, stepped up to Birc! id ‘ou are going to be arreste he ought to be in the State Prison. No sooner was this said than Birch tore of the watch chain and threw it away. This was seen; and the cbaia was found, an swering Col. Davenport’s description exactly. They were then arrested and taken away. Whilst on the pas- sage across the Lake from St. Joseph here, Birch, sup. posing that the gold chain and other articles of evidence against him were in Bonney’s pertmanteau, went, with fetters on, to the clerk’s office, took it out and threw it overboard. When asked why he did so, he replied, felt full of the devil, and wanted to do something. They arrived here about4 o'clock A. M., and were taken to our jail, where Mr. Lowe, our sheriff and Mr. Perrior, our jailor, gave their usual good attendance : and they were kept safe until about nine o'clock, when they were started off for Rock Island, in company with Bon- ney, the sheriff of Sandusky, Ohio, and ./m. Wessen- craft, of our city police. Lest the news of their arrest might get to their accomplices around Inlet and Wash- ington Grove, they were to hurry through s0 as to be at Dixon on Friday morning, and at Rock Island on Friday evening. What scenes will then transpire cannot be conjectured. T men, who have been outraging that community for last five years, wili first engage a lawyer. The Rock Island Court will soon sit. We think it will be next week, if not t! ‘Their lawyer, as is generally the case, will advise a cha ge of venue. Perhaps he will make them swear it out of the circuit. They will want to go through the winter without trial in hopes to break jail inthe mean time. Should a trial be forced, they will swear ry witni absent, and cannot be had, other wretch, by whom they expect to pro’ a trial is still forced, then they may have the luck to find some of tneir accomplices, yet undetected, willing to perjure themselves, and swear that they saw them some- where else on that day. This bas been the usual course in such cases. This Long is the one who robbed Frink & Wake: ge awhile ago ; and Fox says that he and Birch did the very act for which Bliss was sent to pri- son, When here, they were told that Bridge had been lynched. Birch immediately said “that’s the death I shall die,” and almost cried. He continu- ed, "I have done a great many bad things on Rock River; the people are prejudiced against me; I nev- er killed any one; I want a fair trial; do write to Knox to defend me; do let me stay here until the excitement is over; I don’t want the people to kill me; but they will do it, if 1am carried there now,” &c. kc. But Long repro- ved him and told him to stop his whining, saying “I am not alraid; I’ve done nothing to trouble me,” &c, mani- festing the greatest indifference. Birch seemed a great coward and could easily b htened by fear of the lynchers, to confess all his ‘deeds. But it is doubt- tul whether Long would confess even on the gallows. We would not be at all surprised if Birch should turn State’s evidence, as thi is first arrest. But Long has been arrested so often, and always escaped, that no- thing need be expected from him but the most daring acts to break away. The people ofthe Rock cannot be too grateful to Bonney, for his th constant, shrewd and daring pursuit of these murderers, and he should have his $2,600 in ready -old, the moment he delivers them up. We hope there w..l be no backing out on the reward, as is too ofte! case. We have never heard or read of adventure: al to his, and we say let him have his due praise. one knows the amount of treasure and of blood he has saved, they having already one engagement to rob, and who knows but a dozen on hand, By the way, these murderers, in order to avoid detection, buried the ‘money they obtained from Col. Davenport's sale, immediately after the murder, and it still remains buried.
