dressed that body from the words, " Lore one

it becomes all Taylor men TO ponder upon.
The Township Of Edinburgh, in this Coun-

The shape of superanuated Methodist preach

out in the service Of the Church. Alas, for
the cause Of humanity, they are as active as

is a fair index TO MeIhodism everywhere in

a glorious harvest.

Surveyor General.

While we ask nothing for ourself, we may be per-
mitted 10 recommend those for Office whose capac-
ity and honesty to entitle them to the favor of
the incoming administration. We know of no man
more capable Of filling the office of Surveyor Gene
raj of Iowa and Wisconsin than GEORGE WILSON of
Agency City. He is practical engineer, is acquaint
ed with the modern modes Of Surveying, and withal
is an honest and upright man. We believe he was
in Gen. Taylor's regiment during the Black Hawk
war, and shortly after resigned his commission
His urbane and gentlemanly department have won
for him the esteem of all who know him, and we
hope he may be appointed to post for which he is
well and eminently qualified. We take for grant
ed that charge will he made in this Office 1t should
be, for never was there amore fag.antly uncalled
for and arbitrary act performed, than in appointing
the present incumbent. One would suppose that
Mr. Polk and Gen. Jones would have had the mod
esty to have waited the few weeks intervening be-
tween the resignation Of Gen. Jones and the incom-
ing of the administration, and declined making
the appointment. If they hope to make political
capital out of Mr. Booths removal, think the cir
cumstances of his appointment will disappoint
them.

BENTON ON BULLIoN.-On the 10Th ult.
MIR Benton made an important speech in the
Senate, over two hours long. He fears that
the adventures in California will suffer
for want of government. He opposes the
union Of California and New Mexico in
one State. He says the gold mines of
California, like those Of Brazil, will soon
be forgotten, and the sooner the better.
lie believes that gold mines tend to i'm
poverish country. He wants to relieve
the public mind from the delirium and
gangrene Of this gold fever. He would
send wild animals to scratch up and waste
the thing if he could. Strong laws would
be needed to keep people out there from
destroying each other, and keep them out
Of each others holes! There was only
one thing worse than these gold mines,
small bank bills. He proposed to recon-
NIT the bill with instructions to find out
what are private and public lands, with a
view OF giving permits to work these gold
mines. lie wished to know what titles
were valid and what were not. lie would
have all land titles, grants and patents ex-
amined. Of the Puebla Indians it was
said they extended all along the country.
The Spaniads have never disturbed them,
and by our laws and customs, we could
not disturb them. He proposed three
land offices, and large donation of lands
TO actual settlers, &C., &c.-Ib.

Cross FIR:Nc.-The bill for a Rail
Road from BelviIle to Illinois town, orig
mated in the Senate, passed that body, and
also the House with amendments. 1t was
found that this bill conficted with the Goa
company bill, and the House adopted q
resolution sending to the Senate to return
them the bill for further action. Theywant.
ted it was said, 10 kill it. That was Nor
rison's bill.
The bill 10 establish the Illinois Goa
Company, originated in the House, passed
the Senate, went back to the House, and
from thence went to the Governor for his
signature. The bill is rival of the one
just named. This is Hon. Mr. Casey's
bill.
So soon as the House had sent for Nor
rison's bill, the Senate sent TO the Cover
nor for Casey's bill.
Thus this matter stands at present writ
ing. Probably there may be some COM
promise to satisfy both parties. We should
have strong confidence in such res ult
were we not fully aware that no trading
or compromise business is countenanced
by any member OF either house.-M.

VENTY -SIX.-B WILLIAM C. BRYAN
What heroes from the woodland sprung,
When through the fresh awakened land,
The thrilling cry of freedom rung,
And to the work of warfare strung
The yeoman's iron hand!
Hills flung the cry to hills around,
And ocean mart replied to mart,
And streams whose springs were yet unbound,
Pealed far away the startling sound
Into the forests heart.
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain-river swift and cold;
The borders of the stormy deep,
The wales where gathered waters sleep,
Sent up the strong and bold.
AS if the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath,
And from the sods of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of lion-hearted men.
To battle to the death. ...
The wife, whose babe first smiled that day,
The fair fond bride of yester eve,
And aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed it sin to grieye.
Already had the strife begun,
Already blood on Concord's plain
Along the springing grass had run,
And blood had flowed from Lexington,
Like brooks of summer rain.
That death. stain on the April sward,
Hallowed to freedom and the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhorred-
The footsteps of foreign lord
Profaned the soil no more.
