Cause aud Effect.

The bare prospect of having rail road from this
place which viii, in less than three years, n,ersect
with the great Central rail road in Illinois, and
thus connect with all the eastern and southern
routes, has already given fresh impulse to trade,
and greatly enhanced the value of real estate In
this vicinity. The rise in property is nothing to
what it will most assuredy be,as our city and this
portion Of our State continue to ill up with popu-
lation apd wealth.
We are glad to see that the New York and Bos-
ton Company have not only accepted the charter
granted them by the Legislature Of Illinois, but that
they have actually organized and are hiring men to
60 to work Immediately.

Recall Of Chaffeld.--The London Standard says
that letters have been received from San Juan de

writer in the American Review, who seems
well posted up in such matters, proves that Chat
field has been simply acting the tool of Sir H. L.
Buwer and Lord Palmerson, in the breach Of the
Clayton and Bulwer treaty. We are somewhat sur
prised that no more interest has been manifested
throughout the country about this affair. Ameri-
can citizens have been abused-their arms taken
from them--and they have been compelled to pay
certain unwarrantable tax for crossing the coun-
try. That Bulwer has been winking q, such con-
duct on the part OF his government, we have no
