one of our German Military Companies has
been the theme of considerable comment
through the press, and, as l predicted, has
stirred up good deal of "wrath and cab
bage" among the Dutch. It's considered by
our citizens generally, German as well as
American, well meritcd and timely re-
Duke Of indecent and lawless practices; but
those persons for whom the letter was in
tended, writhe under the fortunes it has in
nicted, and considering that they have al
ways been pure and unadulterated demo-
Gratis, and jealous supporters of Gov. King,
thrust from such quarter was unexpect-
ed, ane is regarded by them as unkind and
ungenerous. 1t also placed of the Benton
men here, the "Uninn," in a very awkward
dilemma, from which it has attempted to
escape by condemning the tone of the Gov
ernor's letter but excusing him on the
ground of ignorance and incorrect informa-
ton as to the facts, while it defends the
'Bocrnstein Germans" against the insinua-
tons and charges contained in the letter.
The Benton men here do not respond very
cordially to the proposition of the Anthem
tonites for union of the democracy. The
latter are quite anxious for the union; but
to obtain it they must make considerable con-
cessions, take back much that they have
said, and even give up some of those cher
ished principles with which they have been
all along willing to sink or swim, live or die.
What is to become of the States Rights
men, when the democratic platform is so en-
larged as to hold all creeds and classes, both
the sound and the 1mSound on the negro
question.
The opening of the Brooklyn and Caesy-
vile Rail Road took place the other day,
and was celebrated in good style. This
road runs fran Brooklyn, opposite this city,
to Caseyville, distance of eight miles. 1t
belongs to the Illinois Coal Company, COM
posed of Gov. Casey, Judge Scates, Col.
O'Fallen, Henry Harder, Esq, and other
enterprising citizens of Illinois and St.
Louis, is designed mainly for the conveyance
of coal from the company's mines at Casey
vile, to the river.
The Engineer of the Mississippi and
Ohio Rail Road has reported the survey Of
the route from Vincennes to St. Louis; the
Directors are now in session in this city
and the whole road will be Immediately put
under contract. The celebration Of the
breaking of ground on the Hannibal and St
Joseph Rail Road, on the lst of November
next, promises to be grand affair. Hon
H. S. Gcyer is named as the orator of The
. occasion.
The "Varieties company" have made
most decided hit at the old St. Louis theatre
They play to crowded houses nightly-olc
Holland is voted the prince of low comedi
ans, while Dufield's singing is warmly ap
plauded by all. Catharine Hays the rival O
Jenny Lind for the favor of the musica
world, observe, has arrived in New York
With such Snowman as Barnum to exhibi
her, she might take most decidedly and pro
duce great fever wherever she may CO.
AS she has not received the services OF tina
accomplished humbugger, she may have
quiet time Of it, and people may not ru
mad about the swain of Erin as they di
about nightingale of Sweden.
Business on the levee is quite dull; Their
is but little doing in all the leading articles {
produce, owing to the difficulties of naviga
ton and other causes. Our wholesale mel
chants, however, have their houses constant
ly crowded with customers from every poi
ton of the vast region of country whic
looks tothis city for its supplies of merchar
disc. The aggregate amount of bushes
which our merchants and manufacturers al
doing will greatly exceed that of any prev
Gus fall season, and gives evidence that Il
trade of our city is rapidly extcnting and il
crcasing. Wheu it is considered that q
this vast trade has grown up on the natur
channels Of commerce, without any resort
artificial means to produce or facilitate
what glorious destiny must await St. Lou
when all the vast country dependent on
becomes dcnsely populated, and its resou
ces fully developed, and all that network
rail roads, diverging from this point Al
spreading over the whole Mississippi V,
ley shall have been constructed.
