THE PLANK RoAD.-The California excitement
has doubtless unsettled the minds of nany so as to
draw off their attention from almost every project
that is unconnected with the route to or the sudden
wealth that may be acquired in California. Num-
bers who think they will 60 to the gold region
and they will be found in the majority Of those af
fected by the "yelows''-will, however, discover a
thousand obstacles in the way of their starting
which will be sufficient to prevent their ever see
ing California. To all such we would say, you have
work to do at home in which you are deeply inte-
rested, and which if not Immediately attended to
may detrimentally affect your prosperity and inter-
est. The proposed Plank Road between this place
and Mount Pleasant will bring you surer profits than
visit to California do. mass meeting to take
this important subject into consideration is already
announced, and it will take place at New London on
Tomorrow week. The people of Des Moines and
Henry Counties are invited to meet at that place
that day, and we hope that the citizens of Des Moines
will not be backward in responding to the CALI not
withstanding the shortness of the notice.

guessing TO be allowed TO look at the said Clothes

pockets. The shrewd tailor, however, suspecting
the object Of the gentlemen, told them they mi ght

that he would require of them $50 each, for ev-
