Weekly miners' express. (DuBuque, Iowa) 184?-1849, 1849-01-09

The PANIc.--The Montour Iron Works
in DanvilIe, Pa, having effected the object
for which they discontinued operations,
namely, to brighten the workmen into the
support of whiggery, have gone to work
again under the same old regime. So
much for the Tariff interests Of Pennsyl-
yania.
The Tea PLANT.-Much is being said
in the public prints Of the probabilities
Of this plant being introduced as an ar,i-
Gle Of culture in The United States. It is
thought that the soil and climate of some
Of our Southern States are we'll adapted
toits growth, and that in few years Tea
plantations will be as common as Cotton
plantations. ~ p.

IXrn VOLUME TINES.

The present number closes the lXth vol.
ume of the Times. .r-.. ..
The close of a volume of paper is gen.
orally embraced as an opportune time on
the part of the Publisher, to hold q little
friendly chat with his patrons and friends:
we do not propose following up this Gus
tom at any great length at present, although
we have abundant reason to feel thankful
for the liberal patronage we have been the
recipient of and the friendly advice and
assistance we have ever found when
sought. ... ...-..
1t has ever been our custom to promise
but little, while it has constantly been our
aim to render our paper worthy Of the pat.
ronage ofthe community in which we live.
How far we have succeeded in this, is not
for US to say: but we may say, the encour,
agement and support we have received du.
ring the nine years we have been engaged
in publishing the Times, stimulates us to re.
newed exertons to render it more worthy
the patronage of the public.
Al the commencement of the next vol
ume-our next issue-the paper will be
considerably enlarged, and otherwise ina
proved. We design taking an even star
with the administration of Gen. TAYLOR
and invite his friends in this and adjoining
counties, to begin with us-feeling assured
that we shall have pleasant voyage Of
| four years

PACIFIC RAIL ROAD.

We publish to. day the speech and bill of
Senator Benton, in reference TO the Pacific
Rail Road.
This road is magnificent project, and
its advagtages are ably and and eloquen,ly
set forth by Col. Benton. His plan is
broad and comprehensive, and must, as il,
should, receive the cordial support of citi.
zens of all sections of our country.
1t is only necessary for the Government
to take hold of it, will it, and the work is
even then almost accomplished. There
is no use of spending six, ten or twenty
years, in talking, specializing and doubling.
To our mind, the scheme is perfectly fea-
sible; and as Senator Benton well remarks,
NOW is the proper time to locate the road;
at present, no question can arise. The
whole country, from the frontier upon the
Mississippi to the Pacific ocean, is terrific
rial. 1t belongs TO the United States.
There are neither State rights nor private
rights TO rise up and oppose impcdiments
We can at once take our own course with
out stopping TO made terms or inquiry of
any one" ... ......
With this National Central Highway
across our continent, stretching from the
Pacific one the one side to the Mississippi
on the other, pouring the rich commerce of
Asia into the heart of the great Missssip.
pi valley-diverting the trade of Europe
through our country, what great and ben
efcial results must follow 10 us? The
products of The great valley will find an
outlet in all directions, speedy and cheap
manufactures will spring up--the mineral
wealth of the country will be developed,
and our now western states, neglected and
overlooked, will be the centre of this great
Union, and the work shops of the world.
1t is to be hoped we may TACT up to the
greatness Of the OCCASION" and at once put
upon foot this great project. We bespeak
for Senator Benton's bill, as well as his
preferatory remarks, an attentive perusaI.
