We have been informed by citizen Of this
city, friend Of the Snia Plank Road, that OH a
recen, visit to the town of Peyson, ho found the
friends of the project still interested in the
work. Sons however, were laboring under
the impression tha, the citizens Of Hannibal had
lost their interest in the improvement, which
would benfi. their city SO extensively.
When they were told that one man in Han
nibal would pledge $4,000, another $1,000,
and others their 800, they Immediately
took measures to have The books opcned, and to
have The ntighbOrhood canvassed. la few
days committee from Payson will visit this
city to see what we doing shall they catch
us mapping asleep, when we have an opportu.
nifty to Increase our property 10y heartily CO.

sible project. Shall il ever be said Of Hanni-
ball. that she is fifty years behind the times y
when 1t is within our power 10 make tho city
one of the most ilourishing ohthe Upper Mis-
sssippi, by constructing tho proposed Plank
Road and Rail Road? VIII we stand all the
day idle, and obs,inatsly refuse TO lend our aid?
If so, however much we may ilatser ourselves,
we are not the true friends of the city, We look
on. only for self and care mol II whit for the
public!
For the encouragement of the friends of this
improve we would say that COL Ross oil
Pike county has expressed desire to extend
the Plank Road which he is about to construc
from the Illinois, 10 the town Of Pit.siield, OF
thence TO Pays l., then opening great thorough
fare over the Snia Bottom, SO on through this
city. A Plank Road is also TO be built BY Mr.
Staff I'd of St. Louis, from the Illinois river t.
the town of Grgssville. The travel over tina
Road vii. also come on to the Snia Road. Blu
to be plain and positive, Tie Road as 10 DC built

city in a day or two. Who will be ready T.

Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.

Judge LEONARD recently appeared before the
County Court Of buchanan county, and moved
the Court to appoint day for an election, to in
crease the subscr ption of the county to the Han
nibal and St. Joseph Railroad, TO 5 100000 In
doing SO, he made very able speech in favor
of the proposition. lie referred to the estma
ted value ofthe real estate Of the county, which
had been placed at three and half millions of
dollars, and said this subscription would be less
than three per cent, upon the value Of SUCH
property. Only about three hundred thousand
dollars have yet been taken by individuals in the
road Two hundred thousand more must he Ia
ken belore the aid of the State subscription, to
the amount of one million and half Of dollars
could be obtained, and in the absence Of the
grant Of land by the United States, the road
must fail. He argued that the road would pay
II not Immediately, in very little while; and
that the incidental advantages growing out Of i
would DO numerous. 1t would invite popula-
ton, advance the value Of real estate and secure
to the country better markets. The Gazette
contains report of his .MsSoW,
Republicans.
But, said the Judge, the greatest advantage
remains yet TO be considered. Let it be borne
in mind that the Central Illinois Railroad is but
a shor! distance beyond Hannibal, and to that
this road must be extended. The Illinois Cen
trail Railroad passes by the mouth Of the Ohio
river, and thence is to be extended to Mobile in
Alabama. This great line will connect with
lines to Charleston and Savannah. Nor, will
st. Louis stand idly by, and see the trade oil
north west Missouri, the most fertile and pro-
duclive part Of this great State, pass round her
ST. Louis will construct road thence to the in
tersection Of this road, midway between St
Joseph and Handful. Now let us look at The

Judge Leonard proceeded to say, that now

year, for while stand stiIl-the country be

the road will become dispirited, and improve

Lies Pleasures.

LIES pleasures are Elusive dreams,
They swiftly fly, they soon will end,
While cheering hopes and sad'ning,
Like light ard shade together blend.
LIES pleasures are ideal joys
Which Fancy paints with glowing hucs;
And prove at last but trivial toys,
Aud vanish like the morning dews.
Lies sweetest pleasures swiftly fly
Away, on times most rapid wing,
While clouds OF sorrow dim our sky,
And DER the brow dark shadows fling.
Lies pleasures are deceptive charms,
That iascinate the altlcss mind,
But fly like fancy's waking dreams,
And leave trace Of grief behind.
