A Probability.

The Charleston papers inform US that Jenny
Lind may visit that city in December. We mere
ly give this information, for the people. We
would be pleased to hear the warblings of this in-
imitable vocalist but despair of doing on living
terms if Bsrnum is about. We hope that there
will not be found one in the "Queen City" green
enough to try the a-la-dodge.

the deception, giving to the coin an unctious

the following important intelligence, in reference to
from Louisville the State line the Belle

Our citizens taken somewhat by surprise last
week by the appearance of corps of Engineers engag
ed in locating Railroad from Columbus to Union, on
the line of the Belefontaine Railroad. 1t is extern
sion of the Jacksonville and Columbus Railroad and it
will constitute, when completed, of the most impor
tant lines of railway in the State The work appears
be under the control of Louisville and as the Eng
say the company has plenty of money push the
work right through, the lberalty and enterprise of
Louisville very avoraby with that displayed by
Cincinnati in her policy towards this section of country
We understand that the company estimate that there
are an average at least one Thousand passengers
passing up the Ohio river daily and that least three
hundred OF them desire to East and that that number
would travel over their Railroad. The line of road as
surveyed passes through the Western and Northern por
tons of our town.
We have time this week to write about this any
other subject, but soon have little leisure
time disposal shall notice the project and its
probable effect upon the business of the country in
detail.

but little to his chance of election. In the fourth, the
party is resuming its former position. The democratic

Ogden the abolition candidate will run but little ahead

thousand In the fifth district the wings are making
desperate effort suppant the gallant Richardson

the way has gone far, at Washington, as to
promise thousand majority for Browning! As he is
seeking Office at the hands of the powers that be, of
course he is lavish with his promises Richardson will
beat the great repudator' by the usual democratic
majority.
In the five districts mentioned above, except the fifth
the wings have not the remotest hope Of success and
the fifth they know the chances one against
them 1t is in the sixth and seventh districts that every
inch of ground will be contested Our friends in these
districts should grid their for the fight Camp
