GRAND RIVER AND DETROIT.

We understand that at a meeting Of the d.
rectors of the Oakland a. Ottawa Railroad Com
pany held last week, they resolved to commence
operations Immediately. A corps of engineers
under charge of Jacob Houghton jun, Esq, the
efficient Chief Engineer of our City Water
Works, will be on the line in the course OF the
ensuing week, and the surveys will be prosecu-
ted with diligence until the whole line is loca.
ted.
If Detroit, and the inhabitants on the line, feel
a 1.-THE of the interest in this work they ought
to do, it will be completed within eighteen
months. 1t is time Detroit moved in this and
other matters, or the great lines of Railroad in
to our State will carry the business away rath-
err than to this city. The Directors of the Oak
land and Ottawa Railroad feel confident if the
people on the line of this road will but examine
into this subject they will be able to put the
whole line under contract as early as April
next.
The Advertiser of this morning contains the
notice of the meeting recently held at Homer, in
favor of perfecting measures for Railroad from
Jonesville to Grand Rapids. The meeting is
said to have been a spirited one, and commit
tees were appointed for the several counties be-
tween Hillsdale and Ottawa, "to memorabilia
the Legislature for general Railroad law, and
to conduct the necessary correspondence rela-
tive to the getting up of subscription to the
stock of the proposed Road" While we are re-
joiced to see every movement of this kind cal
culated to benefit any portion of the people of
our growing State, and to develope her immense
resources, we should regret, as citizens OF De-
trot, to see such an enterprise carried into exc
cuton, without some effort on the part of our
people to counteract the injurious effects of this
particular enterprise upon her growth and pros
perity. The project started by the citizens OF
Hlsdale is intended to tap the Grand River
country, and to divert all its rich trade, and that
of the country through which it runs, from De-
troit to Toledo.
The proposed Oakland and Ottawa Road will
accomplish that object and it becomes the capt.
talists and business men of all classes to take
hold Of this matter with zeal and energy. There
is ample wealth here to answer its construction
within the time mentioned All that is required
is the wiU on the part Of our moneyed men,
They cannot, or aoiH not if they are wise, permit
this rich prize to be won by Ohio. II belongs
to Detroit, and nothing but the most culpable
indifference on the part of our business men and
property holders to their true interests, will in
duce them to let it slip from their grasp now
that they have only to stretch out their hands
and grasp it.
There is already charter for the Oakland and
Ottawa Railroad, and if the public spirited gen.
tlemen who have taken hold of the matter, are
properly seconded by our citizens generally, the
Road will be made within eighteen months, with
out doubt. Will they hesitate to second SO
important a movement.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.-We have seldom heard
of more distressing affair than the following,
narrated by correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, in letter dated Rio Jeneiro, October IL,
1852:
An awful tragedy occurred here last night-a
father murdered his daughter, son, and an Eng
lishman. The young girl had been wronged.-
The father discovered her shame, swore death
to the seducer, the Englishman, found him with
his daughter, drove a bullet through his heart,
and dashed madly at his daughter with knife.
The son and brother placed himself before her,
and received the blade of the knife in his side.
The father, seeming maniac, waEted more
blood to wash out the stain upon his daughters
HONOR and with another plunge, stabbed her to
the heart. The Englishman died Immediately
the son lived three hours, and the daughter still
breathes, but will not live. The father, high
ly respectable Brazilian, gave himself immedi-
ately up to the authorities.

GREAT MISSISSIPPI VALLEY RAILRoAD.-As
an evidence that our remarks in yesterdays is
sue, upon the lack of energy and enterprise hih-
erto evinced by our citizens in pushing forward
with their might every avenue of trade and COM
munication with the country naturally tributary
to Detroit, as compared with the activity and in
terest manifested in various other sections of
the Union, far and near, are in the main correct,
we point to the recent action of the Convention
lately held at st. Louis, which was numerously
attended from all portions of the Mississippi
Valley, and at which resolutions were adopted
pledging themselves to spare no efforts for the
speedy construction of Railroad from the city
of New Orleans to some central point in Min
nesota, yet to be located in the direction of the
Red River of the North, and with branch to
the Falls of st. Anthony; said road to pass by
the capital of the State of Arkansas, the Iron
Mountain, and the city of st. Louis, and the val
ley of the Des Moines river,in the state Of Iowa.
To construct this road they ask from Congress
quantity Of land equal to alternate sections for
ten miles in width on each side of said railroad
throughout its entire length, with the privilege
of selecting other lands to make up the quanti-
ty of such tracts as may have been sold, or are
subject to presumption, within the distance of
ten miles from the line.
With SINH ar unanimity on the part Of our cit
liens in conjunction with those residing on the
line Of the Oakland and Ottawa and other Rail-
roads, of our own State, it need, as we have
heretofore remarked, be but the work of year
or two, at most, to.place ourselves in position
of equal wealth and Importance with that of any
other city of the West. May we not then in all
earnestness continue to press this subject, of
such vital Importance to our best interests as
city and State, upon the prompt and favorable
attention of our fellow citizens, one and all?

speak in high terms of the prosperity of the
mines in that vicinity. Mr.. Hil of the Copper
Falls mine, has struck an enormous lode, said to

masses and rich barrel and stamp work. At the
Northwest mine there had been strife and sort

Dates from Mexico to the Goth ult., have been
received. The defeat Of Gen. Blancas by the
French Consul is confirmed, and the latter has
proclaimed Sonora independent, and annexed it
to France! The revolution was progressing
everywhere. No decisive battles had taken place
between Gen. Urega and Veaey, the leader of
the federal troops The latter is in fortified
position, and has been ordered to surrender by
Urega, and it was thought he would be forced
20 do so.

OAKLAND AND OTTAWA RAnRoAD.-We un-

work, resolved at their meeting at Pontiac, on
Friday last, to place an efficient corps of engi-
neers upon the line of road at once, meaps hav-
ing been secured to complete the survey of the
road to Lake Michigan. We are glad to learn
that advices from the east encourage the Direc-
tors to believe that with II comparatively moder-
ate subscription in our own State, the means
for the construction and stocking of the road
will be ample to finish it within the next egh-
teen months. Every citizen of Michigan should
feel the deepest interest in the progress of this
important thoroughfare, and we ourselves in
tend to say something more On the subject here

cure of weak nerves 1. is this

fifteen inches below, connection between the

Of the top piece with the right hand, while the

the more the broom is used. The hands must
be without gloves so that the metals are in con-

open when the broom is used so as to admit

We sincerely recommend the application OF
this discovery to weak persons of both sexes.

- Notwithstanding the opposition of the

finally succeeded in causing his rights to be res
pected by the Cuban authorities. The captain
General has concluded to be satisfied with the
affidavit Of the late Purser of the Crescent City
denying all connection with the Flibusters
The Cherokee has therefore been permitted to
land, and the obnoxious Smith has been allowed
to 60 on shore without restraint The country
is under no obligation to the present executive
for the enforcement Of American rights at the
port of Havana. The resoute purpose of a
citizen has effected that which should have been
the work Of his government. The termination
of the Crescent City war puts an end to all i'm
mediate prospects of Cuban annexation. But
the day will most assuredly arrive when the
Queen of the Antilles will be numbered as one
of the brightest stars in the constellation of the
"Mode Republic" The premature anathemas,
which the wing press have. been so assiduously
heaping upon the approaching administration of
Gen. PIERCE, as to the admission of Cuba into
the Union, may as well be recalled, and reserv-
