Glad to hear it.

In speaking of railroads an ID the press, the
Telegraph Of the 10th inst. says:
I'VE have but single favor to ask, viz: that
1t may no longer be supposed or believed in any
quarter that the city of Burlington or any per.
son in it is in the least degree opposed to any
proposed improvement within our borders. On
the contrary they have our best wishes for their
success"
Right glad are We to hear it! 1t sounds a
little more in consonance with the true position
Of an Iowa editor than does the following, in
reference to the railroad convention, which was
Perfetrited by this same Is!r raph, two weeks
previously, evidently in pet:
ne convention was gotten up in the spirit
OF selhshness-its views ara local, not general
Its schemes impracticable-. oh Gets nefa-

Things for remembrance.

The conduct of the Executive administration
and imbecile in all those things wherein it is
invested with discretionary power. During the
entire period Of the Congressional recess which
has already elapsed, its members, from Presi-
dent Fillmore down to Fitz Warren, have been
FOSTERING about the country upon petty cleo
pioneering campaigns, or engaged in fraudulent
schemes for Galphin-izing the Treasury; while
every interest of the country, and especially of
the frontier, which is dependant upon faithful
and vigilant exercise of the executive function.
is in deplorable condition from neglect. We
could fill our paper with the complaints, most.
ly from wing papers, which are every where
current, from Cape Cod to Oregon, of the non.
action or laundering mal-feasance Of the Presi-
dent and his subordinates. Witness the follow
ing short extracts from recent letter to the N.
Y. Tribune, from correspondent at Santa Fe !:
"The Navajoe Indians have been playing
h--ll lately, to use the classical language of q
U. S. Captain. On the night Of the End inst
about 1000 Indians attacked the camp Of Par.
ker 4 Nesbit, hay contractors, and run of the
mules. 70 in number, and six splendid horses.
company were ut Pima Blanco, II miles of " ait
ing for ice to cool the Rio Grande, and when re.
| quested to pursue the Indians, refused to do SO
till the ice arrived. / have Mr. R. Nesbit'a
statement to that effect. Brooks conduct
highly esAeurable. Nesbit demanded assi6
from the commanding officer, but was Td1cO
and the Governor stated that he would resist
any attempt to raise volunteers to recapture the
mules. What are these men to do? Are they
to submit quietly to their losses?
"The Indians are committing depradations
all through the country, and in most cases lives
have been lost. Still nothing done to punish
them. 1t is hoped that Col. Sumner will bring
them to their senses.
~ had just posted my letter to you yesterday
when information was received that the Nava-
joe Indians had made another attack on the
camp Of Mr.. Robert Nesbit, and run off about
forty mules belonging to that gentleman. This
is the second attack that has been made upon
this party, and that at cost of $ll 900, all of
which has been the hard earnings of Mr.. Mes.
bit within the last fifteen years
"Indian depredations are now SO common as
to call for the serious attention Of Government
to protect the citizens of the Territory. The
country is filled with troops d officers loafing
about town, and thousands ready at any mo.
ment to march against the savagcs if only au-
thorized, yet the most fragrant apathy is shown
by the Government officials in regard to these
Indian depredations"

Their Route.

We are advised by the Muscatlne papers that
Messrs. JENNlsoN and PARvIS of that place are
engaged in running an experimental line for a
railroad from thence to Oskaloosa. Al last &C.
counts they had traverscd Muscatine Island,
run up "rhiskey hollon," crossed the Iowa three
miles below the forks, and arrived at W ashing-
ton. Considering the inordinate propensity Of
the Muscatine-ites for inveterate bragadocia, no
one, OF course, will place any reliance upon a
survey made by such hands. Their admissions
are good against themselves, however; and the,
advise us that grades Of GO feet per mile havebeer
encountered already, which is three times a.
great as any upon the Davenport and Iowa Cit,
route, which they have thought proper to decry
