a There is more activity in business among
our mechanics at present, than we think we have
ever noticed at this season of the year. The num-
bes of building in process of erection, is greater
than at any former time in the history of the city
Building materials of all kinds are in great de-
mand, and hard to be obtained. The fall emigra-
ton has commenced and the demand for houses is
far ahead Of the supply. Persons who have not
visited the different portions of the city, will be
surprised at the rapidity with which residences
are sPringing up in every portion of it Quite
number Of handsome and convenient dwellings
have been built in the northern portion of the
town, and quite as many in the southern portion
1t would b. interesting to learn which part of the
town has improved the most during the season
wst now drawing TO close.

President Fillmore.

1t is interesting to notice occasionally the hear
ty cooperation in abuse and vilifcation of the
present administration, which exists between the
Northern Abolition and Southern democratic pa
hers. Those who are striving to dissolve the
Union, though living at its opposite extremes,
and though their complaints proceed from direct
ly opposite causes, and are based upon grounds
wholly antagonistic to each other, can agree We
nv well together when their object is to abuse an
administration that has done SO much by its
straight forward, manly and honest course 10 up
hold the Union and sustain the Constitution At
the North the President is assailed as pro-sla-
very propaganda, an enemy of freedom, base
trucker to the South. In the South he is charg-
cd with pandcring to abolition, with harboring
unfrlendly sentiments towards the Slave States,
and as uniting with aboitionists to degrade and
insult them.
There ought to be some better understanding
between these enemies Of the President. The
least observation ought to teach them that char
ges so Numerically opposed to each other can
not both be true. Mr. Fillmore might be an abo-
litonist, but he cannot be both an aboitionist
and slavery propagandist. The charges furnish
the best refutation of each other, and between
the two extremes the truth may be found. Mr.
FILLMoRE is far from being what either class of
his enemies would seek 10 make him. lie is nei-
Their IN abolitionist, nor Southern pro-slavcry
man. He neither seeks TO interfere unawtulv
with slavery where it exists, nor TO convince the
world that slavery is blessing, highly conducive
TO the mental, moral and physical progress of the
country wherein it exists. He is not Northern
man with Southern principles as was said of Mr.
Van Buren,; he is not Northern man with South
ern interests as has been said of another promi-
nent aspirant for Presidential honors. He is all
American with national principles broad enough
to embrace the whole country; with the Consti-
tuition for their basis, they take in every in
terest of our extended empire from Maine TO Cal
ifornia. There may be some whose capacities
are not sufficiently large TO comprehend what
true patriotism is, and whose souls are so narrow
that they cannot appreciate that heroic devotion
which would sacrifice self on the altar of the gen.
eral good. That such persons should attribute
sectarianism TO Mr. Fillmore ought not 10 be won
dered at. They follow at the tail end of fac;o and
seek to acquire short-lyed notorie;y even at
the expense of self respect. The President can
well afford to despise all such enemies, as the
people to whose hearts he has endcared himself
by his well-timed defence of The Constitution and
the laws, will despisc all such efforts by clamor
and denunciation TO ALLEVIATE their affections from
him.

% Hon. jefferson Davis, U. S. Senator from
Mississippi. has consented TO run as the Secess-
ion candidate for Governor of that State in the
room of Gen. Qnitman, resigned. He stands
pledged moreover TO resign his seat in the Senate
if he is not sustained by the people. As there is
little prospect Of this latter event, we may hope
soon TO see two Union Senators representing
Mississippi in the Senate of the United States.

Tho Meeting on Saturday.
We were sorry to see, at the Railroad meeting
on Saturday last. so slim an attendance of the far
mers from the different parts of the county. The
subscriptions were not so large as they ought to
have been. A comparatively large amount is yet
wanting to make up the sum Of $4,000 propos-
ed to be raised on this size the river, in addition
to the amount heretofore subscribed.
II we thought that any thing we could say
would make the advantages of the road more ev-
ident to our people, and stir them up to greater
PEAL and alcrr;ty in ;fS caiIse we Shoud not hest
tate to fill our columns with urgent appeals and
entrea,ies. We think the difficulty does not lie
here, however. Our citizens are fully aware of
the importance OF the road, and exceedingly anx-
ious that il should be flushed. That they should
hesitate between these advantages aud the sum Of
fifty thousand dollars, is TO little surprising.
The sum, even in addition 10 what has already
been subscribed, is small in comparison with the
means, the energy aud the resources of the peo-
pie Of our county. We do no. believe, if the
choice were lef. 10 them, they would decide to be
without this road for ten times he.amount Of ad-
ditional subscription desired
The people Of Burlington and of Iowa, have
already done themselves great credit by their
promptncss and liberahty in this matter. The
city has voted to take stock to the amount of
$4,000, and we understand that the City Coun-
Gil have authorized a vote of the citizens to be
taken, 10 decide whether discretionary power
viii be vested in the City Council, to take $780,
600 more. We understand ,ha, the proclamation
OF the Mayor win be issued to-day.
This sum. if voted by the citizens, will ensure
US the road--without which il may hang in
half lifeless state for years.

The Democrats and Disunion.

The authority of the Hon. HENRY S. Fo,rE,
the democratic Senator from the State of Mis-
sissipp, will not b. disputed by his party friends
In one of his speeches he used the following Ian
guage:
''Much depends upon the action of the Wing
party, for the disunon feeling is more prevalent
among the Democrats, misled by certain leading
politicians and corrupt editors, than among the
Wings,
Gen. Footc does nothing more than justice to
the Wing party, in making this acknowledgment.
1t is well known that the secession and disunion
party in the South, is composed almost wholly of
Democrats-the Wings as a party, supporting
the Union candidates. Gen. Foote himself, in
the election shortly to come off in Mississippi,
would be in very small! minority, if his support
was derived from his own party alone. So it
VIII be in Georgia, where the election for Gov
ernor is also soon to come Off And SO it has
been in all the southern states where elections
have already taken place. The Wings ranged
themselves on the side of Union and the Consti-
tuition; the Democrats on the side of Secession,
State Rights and dsunion. In the north the only
disan;on party are the rabd aboiitonis.s and free
sellers. D;sunion sentiments have not prevailed
in the democratic party, as they have at the
South. But the only party that has coalesced
with disunionsts at the North, has been the. de.
mocracy. Witness Massachusetts and Ohio &; the
election Of Sumner and Chase and the late effort
OF Mr. Chase TO transfer the Free Soilers body
and breaches, to the open arms of the democracy.
Mr. II. b. Summers of Louisville who
was engaged with Lopez's expedition, arrived at
New Orleans on the 10Th September. He par
ticipated in all the fights that took place between
the two parties. After the proclamation of par
don was issued, being without food or ammuni-
ton, and the whole band being dispersed and
broken up into small parties, he and another gave
themselves up. As he carried the proclamation
of the Governor General out into the mountains
to the Patriots, the General was pleased on that
account 10 permit him TO depart unscathed.
Mr. Summers says he but expresses the general
sentiment of all those who survive, in denouncing
in bitter and unsparing terms, those who were in
strumental in getting up the expedition. He de-
clares it to be a gross deception from beginning
to end, and that il was matter of speculation
with certain parties in New Orleans and else
where, TO make money. He also says that many
of those who were with hun, have sworn the
drest vengeance against persons in New Orleans,
for practising deception that led to much
misery and resulted so fatally. Only four Gu
bans loinei them ,ch lie there,

The total receipts. for the last six months.
amounted to $50 736, 800; and the proportions Of
the incomes derived from passenger traffic and
the transportation Of merchandise. during the
three pas. years, exhibited steady increase Of
the revenue accrung from the latter source; as
will appear from the following table Of the
PERCENTAGE OF RECEIPTS.
1913, By Passengers, $40 By Goods 1850
1919 :. :. 54.f0 - 1850
1850 :. - 53,i3 :. - 1907
The increase in travel is not, however, COM
mensrrate with the extension of the lines for,
while the latter have been extended - per cent.
the increase of the passenger traffic has not eS-
ceeded IL IL per cent; and however great ac-
commodation the public may derive from rail-
roads, the average dividend TO the shareholders
barely amounts TO 3 per cent on an aggregate
capital of 81 $4,000 900.
With reference 70 railroad accidents. II appears
that over two-thirds of the cases result in the
loss of life; that OF the accidents 10 passengers,
three-f fths are the result of imprudcnre on the
part of the sufferers; and ont of every ten-
arise either from standing in an improper or nm
