BosToN AND ST. LopIs.-Ten YEARS ago, the
project TO unite st. Louis and Boston by means
of railroad, would have been thought as Wis
ionary the project to navigate the air success
fully in all directions is thought at the present
day. And yet, Of the twelve hundred and seven
ty-fye miles of country which intervene between
the two places, over six hundred and sixty
miles will be connected by railroads during the
nextyear, yiz:-From Boston to Buffalo, dis
miles in Ohio, on the shore of Lake Erie; and
sixty-fve miles in Michigan, near the south line
This is over half the distance, and the cost will
be twc-thirds of the amount necessary to unite
the whole line.

TO THE RESCUE.

Rouse up! gallant Wings! Repose not on your
arms! Your enemies, the enemies of your Con-
stitution and of your liberties are still in the
field, bent on keeping their sripe on the Govern
ment, if they can. You know their discipline,
under their adrsit and INSCRIPTIONS leaders,
That they will spare effort, hesitate at no
means, and be intimidatcd by no defeat. 1t is
life or death to these leaders, these ofice-holders
who arc now redoubling their efforts, and who
rely on your apathy. Disappoint them in this,
their last resource. Show them that in our thrice
ennobled cause, we will triumph again, and
with victory, still more glorious than that of
the 9Th. You owe this t. yourselves-you owe
it to your bleeding country.
Foul and monstrous have been their misdeeds--
deep and searching must be the sey Gritty Of your
punishment. Now is the time to teach the import
ant lesson, that the American people will inaict
condlgn punishment on faIthless servants who
have the impudcnce to usurp power, or dare to
trihe with your interests, and infringe your
rights.
You have taken all their outposts, and have
driven them to the citadel. Here they will fight
WIN thS desperation VI ihuSj hopeless OF
quarter, and here you must show them in No
vember, that your perseverance is equal to your
courage.
To hide gross frauds, which they themselves
mean to practice, they will cry out, ''clean bal
lot-bo1esm
To divert attention from the immense sums
they are expanding, they will shout ''Bank mo-
ney!'' '.British Goldn
To conceal the Illegal foreign votes, they will
smuggle into the ballot-box, they will cry out,
''Produce your papers," ''Be vigilant. naturali-
cation committees"
And to intimidate the old, infrm, and timid
they will bawl, "EHard-fsts, no gloves, stand to
your arms"
Be then prepared for them at all points, and
with one more collected onset, you will route the
spoilers-you will drive back the desperate Office
holders to the obscurity from which they never
should have been drawn, and you will achieve
the greatest pslitical victory ever won in this

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTING CARDS.
We yesterday witnessed the operation of new
ly invented machine for printing cards, at the
printing Office Of Mr. Murphy, in this city, which
is one of the most extraordinary improvements of
this age of inventions. The machine is put in mo-
ton by turning crank. 1t makes much more
perfect and regular impression, than can be made
in the usual mode sf printing, and executes with
about the same despatch as the Napier press
All persons having cards to print, would do well
to call on Mr. Murphy, who can supply almost
any demand, and can execute them better THAI
any one can possibly do them on the ordinary
