Breaking Ground for the Hannibal and
st. Joseph Rail Road.

The great work of constructing the Han
nibal and st. Joseph Rail Road is to COM
mence at an early day. At recent meet
ing of the Board of Directors, it was re-
solved to put twenty miles at each end I'M
der contract The breaking of ground is
to take place at Hannibal, on the first Mon
day in November next. A meeting of the
citizens of that place was recently held for
the purpose of making preliminary,arrange-
ments. Committees of arrangement, cores
pondence, &c., were appointed and much
enthusiasm twas manifested. The Govern
ors of this State and Illinois, members and
lex-members of Congress, and other dis
tinguished citizens are to be invited. 1t is
understood that the Hon. Henry S. GrYrR
will deliver an address on the OCCASION
1t is estimated that Ten Thousand people
will be present. As we have never had the
pleasure of seeing Hannibal or that por.
ton of our State, we shall embrace the on.
portunity to visit both.

of every description should be considered

pccted 10 suppress it.
A rich scene occurred in the Tammany
General Committee on Saturday evening
last. One Of the members from one of the
uptown Wards asked for the reading Of the
nominations of the Syracuse Convention
This was the signal for an uproar. A dozen
members were on their feet at once, protest
ing against the motion, which was finally
laid over until the next meeting. Significant
hints were thrown out by the ultra Hunkcrs
that a separate ticket must be made, as it was
said that the Hunker press in the Western
part of the State would bolt the present
ticket. The struggle will commence il
earnest when the subject of a Ratification
Meeting is brought up. The different clique'
are beginning to drill fora severe contest.
Yours, truly,

friendly nation; 10 which it was replied that
the men would goin small detachments, the
first detachment to take strong position on
the mountain which approaches within o
few miles Of Puerto Principe, where they
might cover the landing of their friends
We replied TO this, that the Spanish Army
in Cuba would cut off the detachmcnts in
detail before il would be possible for them 10
concentrate, and that no quarters could
be expected by prisoners, because as soon
as men left the United States for the pur-
pose Of invading country at peace with us,
they renowned their allegiance, and the
Captain General of Cuba had proclaimed
that all taken in such an enterprise should
receive no quarters.
To this it was replied severaly, 81 know
it and will ask no quarters" "our motto is
death or victory" Our course on this
question is known. We have opposed it
even to the orator on the sand pile cast Of
the Fifth street market house, 10 initiate the
Grafton Of Mark Anthony over the dead
body of julius Caesar. We designated it
sand pile (although composed partly of gra-
vel) to indicate the insecure platform on
which h rested Through the columns Of
the paper, and in private conversation, we
have opposed the whole scheme.
1t may be said this expose comes at late
day. and is now useless, the expedition being
ended, In reply to this we will say, that
the Commercial stood firm against the enter
prise when almost every other paper in the
Union wavcred. It never, save what were
furnished by telegraph, has published the
glowing accounts of victories, TO be found
in most other papers. The editor refused to
sell the blood of his felow-citizons, and
warned them against imposition as strong as
now, and would not at this late day detail
these particulars, were it not that the hold
ers of bonds on the Government of Cuba
to be, will cndeavor to get up another hunt.

From Texas and the Rio Grande

The returns from the Texas election show
conclusively that Bell has been chosen Gov
crnor; Henderson Ii. Governor; Hemphill
Chief Justice; Wheeler and Lipscomb As
sociate justices; and Crosby Commissioner
of the General Land Office.
The Galveston Civilian of the 10th Sep
TENDER says: We apprehend that affairs on
the Mexican Frontier indicate all but quiet.
We have a confidential letter from an intel
ligent and highly respected citizen, living on
this side of the line, detailing the arrange
ments made in Texas to succor the revolu-
tionary cause, which shows that all the men
lately mustered in the valley of the Ric
Grande were not destined for Cuba. We
are advised to look for news of interest in q
short time.
The Galveston Journal, speaking of the
disbanding of the Cuban volunteers at New
Orleans, says il may not be improper TO state
in this connection, that some dozen or so O.
these Volunteers arrived here by the Louis.
lana, on their way to the Rio Grandc, to ioir
the expedition said TO be organizing there
for a Buffalo Hunt.
From the same paper we take the sub
joined:
A letter is before us from a young Ameri
can, residing at the Mines Jesus Maria, il
the State of Tamaulipas, bordering on the
Rio Bravo, dated August l6, giving mos
frightlul account of the ravages committed
by Texas Indians. We are well acquainted
with the writer and have every confidence
in the statement. Never before, it seems
has Mexico been invaded by such numbers
as at present. The inhabitants of the coun.
try are being slaughtered by them in every
direction. The whole country about ha:
been nearly deserted in consequence
Those who can get away are removing thu
little remnant Of their effects to the side O
the river for protection. This is not all
starvation is staring these poor creatures il
the face. Their crops destroyed by til,
drought, their cattle and floclls driven off b.
their invaders, presents picture, TO whicl
the suflerings few years since in Ireland, il
but Z fancy sketch.
Cotton of a superior quality is being grown
on the Rio Grande, and every experiment
the "Ro Bravo" says, shows that the coun
try is admirably adapted to the growth O
the article.

upon any question of disputed policy; but
we wish 10 record our opinion, that the en-
pire of tic sea must, ere long, be ceded 10
.8mcrica;. its persevering enterprise, its
great commerce, and its accruing wealth,
are certain TO secure this prize; nor will
England be in situation to dispute it with
her. Without this browning capital TO its
power, the onward march of the United
States to what we believe will be over
whelming greatness, might not be SO speedi-
iy accomplished; but America, as mistress
of the ocean, must overstride the civilized
world"
"Forty years ago." says cotemporary,
Europe sat in establishment and terror I'M
der the shadow of Napolcon's gigantic en-
pre. At that time, in debate in the Brit
ish Parliament, something was said of the
American navy, when member remarked
that the American Navy consisted of Sil
ve8sels'-'whereupon,' says the newspaper
account, the house burst into fit of laugh
ter 1t would be interesting 10 know how
many of those laughing Legislators are now
living. The gigantic empire of Napoleon
has crumblcd to dust, and the despised ma
ton of six vessels has now within her grasp
the empire of the seas and the dominion Of
the civilized world"

Keytesville Mail---Again.

Decidedly, the people of Keytesville
have hard time. We have letter before
us dated the 27th-last Friday-which says:
eve were disappointed in receiving orr
mail yesterday. Wehave had no mail since
the Oath. OF course your papers cannot
reach here before noon to-day-and all our
eastern mail matter, that ought to have left
here last Thursday, viii now lie over in
Brunswick until next Tuesday"
We think it is time this evil was RENE
died. We understand from the contractors
that they have man in Brunswick, whose
duty it is to leave with the Keytcsville mail
as soon as the eastern mail is assorted---and
without a failure of the eastern mail, no
failure should occur in the Keytesvilc mail.
The fault must lie with the contractor, and
we appeal to Messrs. Frink & Co. TO look
TO it. BY this failure, our paper, the
Banner" the ST. Louis, and all eastern pa
pers, are delayed, and the BrmSwickr is
the only paper that reaches its subscribers
in proper time. Not only this, but the cas-
tern correspondence that accumulates at
Keytcsvlle is also delayed. There is nei-
ther rhyme nor reason in such arrangements,
but great deal of wrong and injustice
and as we are directly interested in getting
the latest news to our readers at Keytcs-
vile, we intend to "agitate" until the evil
is remedied.

Extra Session of the Legislature

The subject of an Extra Session of the
Legislature, TO re-district the State for the
election of members of Congress under the
New Apporlionment, based upon the last
census, and by which Missouri is entitled
to Seven instead of Five members, has been
in agitation for some time past. The JeiIer-
son Inquirer announces the Governor will
not convene an extra session. The Inquirer
publishes the message of the Governor to
the Legislature, on this subject, submitted
just before the close of the last session.

What Will Ruin Children.

To have parents exercise partially. This
practice is lamcntab!y prevalent The first
born or the last born, the only son and daugh-
ter, the beauty Or the wit of the household,
is too commonly set apart-Joseph-like.
To be frequently put out of temper. A
child ought always to be spared, as far as
possible, all just cause of irritation, and
never to be punished for wrong-doings by
taunts, cuffs and ridicule.
To be suffered 10 go uncorrected to-day,
for the thing for which chastisemcnt was in
ilicted yesterday. With as much reason
might watch which should be wound
backwards half The time, be expected to
run as well, as thus trained TO become pos
sesscd Of an cstimable character.
To be corrected for accidental faults,
with the same severity as if they were
those Of intention. The child who does i'll
when he meant to do well, merits pity, not
upbraiding. The disappointment of its
young protector, attendant on the disas-
trous failure Of any little enterprise is Of
itself sufficient punishment, even where
the result was brought about by carelessness.
To add more is as cruel as it is hurtful
Parents who give child to understand
that he is burthen TO them, need not be
surprised, should they one day be given TO
understand that they are burdensome TO him.
