TGov. Reynolds Of Illinois has written
letter to the Anseiger, German paper in
st. Louis. which we think his party will hard
ly thank him for. 1t is on the Cuba subject.
He says:
1.-THE course, in my judgement, and the
one which shall pursue, is TO rouse The peo-
pie for true and genuine liberty, and by this
course the people ariH force the Government
into 1rar, or put this arhig administration

writer in the Barre (Mass.) Gazette, in re-
port Of the proceedings at the State House

his cabinet, has the following admirable
sketch of the Secretary OF the Interior:
Mr.. Stuart, Secretary Of the Interior, who
followed Mr.. Webster, is man entirely pre-
possessing in appearance. He is some six
fee: three or lour inches in height, and as
straight as an Indian arrow To Judge from
his look he cannot be more than thirty years
old. His face is rather small in proportion,
round, well fleshed, and unwrinkled, serene.
and expressive Of great healihiness ofmind
and body; his eye is dark and sedare, his head
round, compact land covered with thick hair
His shoulders are extremely square. and
when standing motloness. he has stiff mar
tinet look. But all this vanishes the momen,
ne begins to speak. Then all is grace, and il
becomes apparent that he is possessed Of all
the attributes of finished orator. A rich
and melodious voice, clear and elegant enun-
citation, graceful gesiiculation, happy turn oil
thought, and an engaging warmth and sim
certify, all combine to render him an unusual
~ attractive speaker. We saw Mr.. Web

made his fine allusion to Washington. Mr.
Webster bowed his head repeatedly in token
of strong assent. The Secretary Of the In.

The Railroad.

Mr.. Bewly, the chief Engineer Of the
Evansville and Illinois Railroad, lie now en-
gagged in making survey Of the line be-
tween Princeton ana Vincennes, and so soon
az his report is made, the work will doubtless
be put under contract, and rapidly pushed
on to completion. Nearly all the stock has
been taken, and the remainder will no doubt
be speedily made up. The report of the
President, which we published last Wed
nesday, gives fat,ering statement of tie
condition Of things connected with the road,
both financially and as to the progress Of the
work. There are some stockholders who
have failed To come up TO the work, but it is
to be hoped they will aot re,ard the progress
Of the road longer by their negligence
Even if they do not retard the work, they
throw heavier labors aud greater response
bility upon the Directors, when it should be
the aim Of every one enlisted in the work,
either pecuniafily or in good wishes for its
prosperity, to do all in his power to en-
courage and assist them in their iabors.-
Citizens subscribing for stock in an enter
prise Of this nature, and then not promptly
paying their subscriptions, are very much
like those patrons Of newspapers who sub
scribe for the purpose OF encouraging the
publishers, but without any Intention of paying
ill actually compelled to do so. Such pat
rons" we would not have, and Railroad
Companies are better without them.
The line Of the road between this and
Princeton will soon be completed. Mr.. Ste

10 working in the right spirit, and he deserve
agreat deal Of credit for the energy an1 in
dustry he is displaying. We look to th
completion of the road to Princeton by tn
close Of the year.
The report Of the President, Judge Hal
states that two routes are proposed betwee
Princeton and Vincennes-one by way {
Columbia, called the lower route, and tn
other by the way of Buena Vista, called III
upper route. Surveys will be made of bot
routes. Books have been opened on bot
routes, stock subscribed, and each route ha
il warm friends. The Board will detel
mine which route to adopt, according to fl
vorableness, amount Of stock taken by eaci
&e.-in fact, according as circumstances ma
prove the one or tie other the most econom

In conclusion then, we may say, the
everything bids fair for the speedy CON
pletion Of this important enterprise, conoec
ing Evansville. on the Ohio river, with Vii
cennes on the Wabash. We do not an,ic
