On the statement Of the cores pondent Of the
MISSOURI Republican and that OF the New York Tri-
bune, we have published what we supposed to be
fact, that the committee in the case of the con-
tested seat between miller and Thompson, srsport-
ed' in Micr's favor. II is now declared, by the
Gazette. that the committee did not report. WELL
we presume the Gazette, who seems inclined to
make capital out Of that word eporfed,. viii sdmit
that at the fourth meeting OF the committee on the
18th ofJanuary they did, by unanimous vote, admit
the whole Of Millers proofs, and that he had ma
jority Of 100 votes over Thompson. That paper
will also admit that Thompson, knowing the facts.
did file his answer and appear before the commit
tee in person precious to h, ssunanimous votes OF
the committee on the 18th of Janussy. Now, five
had framed the sentence to read sthe commits
tee vsssd in favor of Nillern instead Of saying
s.the committee reported in favor &C., the Gazette
would have been slow to charge us with falsehood.
The mistake was unintentional, and the word .sre-
porteds was used unstudiedly, on our part, and
nome bat those who feel desperate in relation to the
position they occupy in reference the STOLEN poll

have felt inclined to charge US with falsehood, IN

The Plank DAD.

The Books of subscription to the Plank Road,
were opened at this place, Agency City and Ashland
on last Saturday; and up to this time, say five days,
there has been $S7O0, subscribed at this places $5,
900, at Agency City; and $4,000, at Ashland; making
altogether SlS,2o0. This is gong far ahead of the
most sanguine expectations of the friends of the
terprise; and gives conclusive proof that the road
will be built. The whole community awaking
to the importance and benefits Of the project, and
we are glad to announce 20 its friends, that those
who at first hung back and looked upon it as hum
bug are daily joining its friends and giving not only
their influence, but taking stock. Let our far
mers who are deeply interested in securing good
markets for all they have to SELL take hold of this
matter in earnest. and we shall soon see not only
this road completed; but others scarcely less i'm
portan, leading through all parts Of the country.

IN. late Muil ROBBERY in Illinois.


We have received some further particulars in
relation TO the robbery Of the Springfield mail on
last sunday week, which may be interesting to our
readers.
Snyder, who formerly drove the stage between
Burlington and mount Pleasant, brought the mail
into fremont from Peoria, at IL o'clock on Sunday
night, nth inst. After going to the hotel he went
into the house to wake up the driver who was to
20 on with the mail. They we're absent from the
coach only about twenty minutes. During this
time, the bag was stolen. 1t appears that gentle
man in Pekin the day before had been s'blowing all
over towns his intention Of going to Peoria to mail
$4,000 to his brother at st Louis, and the fact that
he did so and had the same insured some think, iii
duced some of those who heard these boastngs to
attempt to secure this money. 1t is certain that a
buggy with two men in it, drove into town and
stopped close BY where the bags were found, just
before the stage came in. In the hurry to get the
bag having the brass lock, they made mistake and
and thus got nothing. From all the circumstances
We should be as ready to suspect the man who sent
the money as any other person.
There was report that the stage was attacked
the second night aer but this has been contradict
cd and is thus accounted for sIt seems that some
men have been on this road watching for number
OF rsasUay .egrocs, and hearing the stage coming,
they supposed it was wagon. having the negroes
in It." This was all, and the driver, frightened out
OF his wits has told fifty different stories about it,
Mr. Fayerweather, mail Agent, wa in Springfield
when the news came, and he Immediately left for
fremont. He had arrived in Springfield the Satur-
day night previous for the purpose Of meeting MI
John Burnap--brother Of mr S. L. Burnrp of this

mail robber, whose whereabouts Tayerweather had
been in pursuit Of for the last five months. They

DUBUQUE AND KEoKUK RAILROAD.

The bill reported in Congress to aid this State to
construct this road, is loaded down with death
dealing conditions to the prosperity of Iowa. to
make il unwse and impoitic for any friend of Iowa
to advocate Its passage. One Of these conditions is
that the road must be completed within ten years il
it is not the state is bound to refund all the
eys received for land sold, and the lands remaining
unsold are to revert back to the United States. All
can that compliance Of such condition on
the part of state would be extremely hazardous
and might involve US in a debt a. onerous as the
one that has parayzed the prosperity of our sister
State for so many years.
Another condition is, that the alternate sections,
not Donated belonging to the U. States, shal not be
sold for less than double their minimum price, or
$3.50 per acre. This is species Of speculation,
proposed to be entered into by the U. s. Congress,
which ought never to be sanctioned, for obvious
reasons. Away with such left. handed libe:ality,

intolerance in Rome--The Police at
Rome has interposed to break up small
religious meeting Of Americans, and
Americans only. which had been held at
the apartment Of an American Protestant
Minister who is passing the winter in
that city. The American Charge DAT
fairs, Mr. Cass, was apprised that if the
offence was repeated, the minister would
be sent away from Rome Immediately. The
Journal Of Commerce says, On the authori-
ty OF a letter from Rome, that Mr. Csss,
who had first been waited upon by the
minister referred TO-, and approved of the
meeting:
"Went to the Cardinal Vicar, who has
the management Of such matters in the alb
sence Of the Pope, and demanded protec-
lion for said religious service. Mr. Cass
is represented in the letter as having no.
bly, urged on the Roman Government a
liberal course in relation to the worship
Of foreign Professionals, insisting upon the
enjoyment Of this right, as demanded by
the spirit OF the sge, as well as by enlight-
ened policy. The answer which Mr. Cass
received from the Cardinal Vicar, was,
'hat the granting Of liberty to hold such a
meeting, on the part of the American Pro-
'estan's, was question which must be
reserved till the arrival of his Holiness
which was expected to occur on The 18th
OF January, inasmuch as it transcribed
the powers Of the Provisional Govern
ment.'

his Creator after his own fashion, with

From California.


Mr. James Cochran of Burlington, now in Califor-
MIA has written home to his wife, from which letter
we take the following extracts:
ssSoon after we arrived at Sacramento City, Mt
Gamble and myself went up the Sacramento to work
in digging gold, where have had opportunity Of
conveying letter, as was between two and three
hundred miles from any post town, and have had
no opportunity of sending till now. We are sadly
disappointed in our expectations. Welhad long,
tedious journey, attended both with fatigue and
privations, but we have reason to thank God that
our party got through all safe. I left the wagons
between three and four hundred miles before our
journeys end, as they Travelled so slow, and was
worn down both in BODY and spirits. got through
health at present, but are destitute of all COM
forts, right in the midst Of mountains and no pro.
visions, only what we brought with us. There are
no houses here and no inhabitants save those like
myself who have come in search of gold. We all
live in tents. have not had the pleasure of sleep

here who will have hard work 10 save as much
money as will bring them home. When we have
worked we have made about eight dollars day.

Hon. G. w. Jones OF the u. S. Senate.

The last Dubuque Telegraph, in continuation of
a controversy between himself and the Express ed
itor, thus alludes to one Of our U. s. Senator's
awe care not, at present, one iota for the opin-
ions of Gen. Jones upon this questoG--'re never
knew what they were. and never considered them
sufficiently important to enquire. The idea, that
the only way of arriving at the opinions of Gen.
Jones, is hy means of public speech, precludes
the possibility of ever being enlightened as to what
they are. The Editor of the Express knows that
Gen. Jones never made a speech in his life; he
further knows, that Gen. Jones could not make a
speech if he tried and the idea whenever suggest
ed, of Gen. Jones making speech is so supremacy
ridiculous. that it causes laugh or sneer, both
BY his political friends enemies. Many have be-
gun to doubt whether the distinguished Senator
could write letter embodying his political opin-
ions, in style fit to be read. II he cannot in the
name Of sense, how do the people of Iowa expect
to know what position he occupies; it certainly
becomes his political friends to ferret it out"

HAWK-EYE.

The latest foreign news was brought to Halifax
last Saturday night by the Steamer. The British
Parliament were taking steps in favor of the Hun
garian refugees. madam Kossuth's joining her
husband, in disguise, is confirmed. The Circas-
SLAMS are still fighting the Russians with success.
There is some prospect of rupture between En-
gland andGreece. Paris is in state Of seige in
sequence of disturbances growing out Of the cut
ting down Of the liberty trees by the police. The
removal Of the Republican memorials and mottos on
the palace gates may also have had something to do
in creating these disturbances.
