Something New.

Messrs Samuel May and Theodore Parker,
both notorious in the Abolition ranks, recently
introduced Preamble and Resolution before the
Unitarian Association Of Clergymen at their late
anniversary in Boston, for the purpose of reading
out of the Unitarian church, Willard Fillmore,
Sam'l A. Elliott, Edward Everett, Jared Sparks,
and DR. Dewey, for the part they had taken in
upholding the Fugitive Slave Law. The Associ-
alton refused to receive the document by vote
of % to p
As far as Parker is concerned, the movement
is somewhat singular. He is only recognized az
a Unitarian BY sufferance. The sermon he preach
ed at the ordination of c. c. Shackford, some
years since, and others that followed, gave an
inkling Of his inidel sentiments, and serious eff
forts were then made to read him out of the Uni
tartan Church. The only thing that saved him
was the peculiar organization and government
of that church, and the incident want of authors
ty. Since then he has been to the Unitarian
Church. what comet is among the heavenly
bodies

HALF Breed Cases.

A large number of these cases were decided at
the late meeting of the Supreme Court, in this
place. One of these--the great demurrer case
which has for long time prevented the oppo-
nents to the Decree title from proving fraud and
showing that bona fide owners had been shut out
by the Decree. has been so decided as to allow
such proof This, if the allegations Of the op-
ponents to the Decree title can be sustained, will
reopen the Half Breed question and set aside the
Decree title The KeoKuK papers have been We
~ industrious in endeavoring to depreciate the
real and well directed enterprise Of Burlington.
and we might easily retaliate in view of the late
opinions of the Supreme Court regarding the sta
bility Of her titles. But we will not. We even
hope she may issue and be able to negotiate her
CITY Bonds for those famous rail roads, that
seem 50 necessary to her existence.
The property hoiders in Burlington have rea-
son to be thankful that their titles are held by no
such uncertain tenure as are those OF keokuk.
The town was laid out by the government, and
each original owner derived his title by patent
from Washington. They can well afford to have
their friends down stream boast at their being at
the head Of navigation. Their great sorrow will
be when our road to Peoria is finished, that Kec-
kuk is below the Rapids We fear, too, if Quincy
should build road, we think it is bound to do,
it will hardly be thought necessary to construct
another at Warsaw.

most favorable time for him to attend TO his duty,

We look forward to the meeting At Knoxville
on next Friday with some anxiety. The elements
have been against the movement. so far as to pre-
vent those appointed to secure larger suescrip-
ton. from visiting the country. This impede
ment has been experienced along the whole line,
and our tear is that not enough viii be paid IN 10
ensure the organization of the company at the
first meeting on Friday. The towns ana coun-
ties along the line are not yet prepared 70 pay l"
their frat nstalment, in their corporate c.pac'y,
and ,v;, If course have no voice in the organlza-
ton, The company will, therefore, be depend
.nt for its organization on the private suhscr'p-
,;o,. II we had assurances that the people oil
peoria. Warren and Knox counties had. alscgcth-
.r. Maid in a. much AS has been paid in this side
of the river, then We would have no cause for
anxiety in the matter, Up to yesterday, the five
per cent. Of at least fifty thousand dollars had
been paid in, ant this is just one half Of the
amount required to secure the organization. We
hope the delegates who represent this place will
be able to take with them the five per cent. OF
1000, to make all things sure.
On the suppc, ition that the Company organl-
res on Friday, the first important step win be Ia
ken. which is to tell in behalf Of the prosperity
Of this part Of Iowa. A link will by that act be
forged that is to connect Va with the great chain
Of improvements that will reach every portion Of
our country in the shortest possible time. The
next step will be the employment Of competent
Engineers, to survey and mark out the route
This doae, there need be no delay in pushing
forward the work, so as to secure its completion
in two wears from the 18th Of next month. Then
our farmers and the travelling public will be as
favoraby situated as in any portion of the Union.
This road has no organized opposition to con-
tend with. The Rock Island and Lasalle road
has. The late effort by the owners Of the Auro-
"a Branch Of the Chicago road, to cripple and re-
tard the construction Of the Rock Island road
NAV be successful. If it be, the necessity OF har-
ing our road pushed forward, will be the more
apparent. The Directors who may be elected on
Friday, will doubtless see the vantage ground
they occupy, ard will profit BY the favorable cir
cur,stances into which they have been thrown,
BY thi. attempt to delay the construction of the
Rock Island road.

YihArality,


Col. JOHN O'FALLoN, Of st Louis. has tender
ed lot of ground to the corporators OF the Ju-
venile Reform School Of tina, city, worth $1,000.
Several other gentlemen stand ready to give one
thousand dollars each, TO the Institution. snch
acts are noble and munifcent- We know OF no
institution more loudly called for in st Louis than
this. Those visiting that city rust have been
struck with the number of vagrant children about
the streets and wharves. They are now in the
school Of crime, and the city owes it to itself to
care for them. The Juvenile Reform School in
Boston has done immense good in reclaimins
viciously brought up youths and children. Re-
form and make the present generation Of children
all over our country moral and intelligent, and
the institutions of our land will be safe-the In
| ion will be preserved.

Poultry.

The Bostonians are ahead in holding out in
ducements for the raising of good poultry. They
have an annual exhibition, which brings together
thousands Of the fowl kind. They know the val
ne of such articles about Thanksgiving time. 1t
was at Boston that the first society for improv-
ing the breed of cattle, sheep and swine orisina-
ted. 1t was there, also, that the first premium
was offered to promote the science of agriculture
and horticulture. Societies of the same kind, to
forward the SAME objects, are now to be found in
all the States, and their usefulness is ackno~l-
edged by all. Why should not their new society,
to encourage the raising of better class of
chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks, become as
popular as the others? We believe il will.

The most singular as well as melancholy casu-
atty that has occurred during the progress OF the
late flood, was the one where man, who belong
ed to party wishing to cross one of the streams of
upper Illinois, lost his life in the performance of
benevolent act. When they reached the stream
it was nearly over its banks and very deep. The
bridge was partially carried away, and they had
no means Of crossing unless they could procure
a boat on the opposite side. One of the party,
who was good swimmer, was urged to swim
across and bring the boat. In the act OF diving
from the remains Of the bridge, to perform this
service, he struck upon hidden snag ,which,pass-
ins through his body, impaled him there. He
was rescued as soon as possible, but was so much
injured as to die shortly after.

The trial of the railroad conspira'ors was pro-
crossing at last dates. Hon. W. II. SEwAnp has
been employed for the rascals. We think it far
more more wrong, morally, to employ en-
inent talent to shield manifest villains from just
punishment, and thus turn them loose to prey a.
gain upon society, than it is to send runaway
slave back to his master. That's transcript OF
our conscience in the matter. If DR. Fitch and
his gang are cleared through the ingenuity and le-
gal tact of Mr. Seward, he will do agreater wrong
to society than can be done by the operation OF
the fugitive slave law, which Mr. s. hates so con-
scientio usly
