This gentleman, who presided over the Wing
meeting on Monday last, took occasion to ex,
PLAN to the people present the reasons which
induced him to decline the nomination for Gov
ernor, rendered HIM by the late Wing State
Conventon.-They were perfectly satisfactory
to his Wing friends, and must be to all reason-
able men. Col. ID. has been suffering, for
years with aggravated Bronchitis; his partner,
in the practice of law, ]. II. Baldwin, ESQ. is
also in such wretched health that he is now on
The seaboard, with the view and hope of regain
ing it, and it woule be at the imminent hazard
of his life if Col. ID. were to enter upon a can
vass for Governor, or any other office. Those
who best know the state Of his health; those
who have seen him in our court house, when
compelled, in duty to his client to make lengthy
speeches, are satisfied that he would not sur
SiS0 an unlimited contest; for ne is one of those
men who does nothing 4" half way" Whatever
he undertakes, he stands up to. He has salts.

HO TIN e..

Yesterday was day of no small excitement
i'll Marshall. The causes Of the difficulty we
have not learned; but, as we understand it, a.
bout nine o'clock, DR.. Pierce walked out from
his office, with double barrel gun, and called
to Col. w. A. Hill, who was at the time passing
from the direction OF the court house towards
Coles Exchange, to stop; manifesting at the
time an intention to shoot Hill broke into a
run, and Pierce fired at him; but which had pre-
cedence, or whether both the latter acts were
simultaneous in point Of time, we are not able
to say. Fortunately, no serious injury was
done.
Scarcely had the crowd dispersed before an
entirely new and original proceeding sprung UP
at the corner, near the Planters Hotel. lnthe
midst OF excitement, we have not been able to
gather more than few particulars, and are not
certain that they are entirely correct.
Some days ago, gentleman of the nrme of
Satterwhite, with considerable number of ne
groes, reached our place, and was followed bv a
gentleman having claim to a considerable a.
mount against him.
The first cemer, it appears, had been tried for
serious offence in South Carolina and seemed
to be apprehensive, as he expressed it, that the
other either had or would Islander him. During
an alteration, Mr.. S. struck Mr.. Nichols with
cane, inflicting severe wound over the right
eye, when the latter drew pistol and fired at
but missed him. [-Marshall (Texas) Patriot.

Resolued, /. The passage Of the act anpro-
printing public lands in Missouri for the bene-

seph Railroad Companies by Congress, merits
from us public expression of our thanks and
entire satisfacton-that we hereby tender that

That our people have sagacity to appreciate and

we tender our thanks for their zeal and labor

II is an interesting question at this time TO in
quire what is The present condition and real
prospects Of the Hannibal and ST. Joseph Rail-
road. The result Of our best information is a.
bout this:
Last Fall the President and directors order
cd and caused to be surveyed and estimated,
limited districts Of the road at each end, viz:
from this city to Palmyra, and from st. Joseph
east, Is to 20 miles. No further progress was
made in the surveys and locations, until Con-
grcss should dispose of the application for a
grant Of land in aid of the construction.
Col. Stewart, the President, was requested to
visit Washington during the sitting of Congress,
to aid in obtaining the grant, and to invite prop
ositions and capital to embark in the enterprise,
with or without the Congressional aid. Our
Representatives in Congress, with the aid of the
friends Of internal improvements from other
States, proudly and nobly sustained by our SEN
ators, (to whom all honor is due, succeeded,
and obtained a munifcent grant Of land and the
right Of way to aid in the construction Of the
two great roads, so long indicated and sought by
the people and the State. The grant is obtained
irrevocably TO tho construction of the Roads.
PRosPEcTs-sTocK.
Beginning with the States credit, in aid, we
have one and half millions Of land, and con-
vertible capital, and secured 10 the State, on the
road built on the congressional grant Of say
eight hundred thousand acres, not permanently
alienable until the road is completed, and which
will guarantee the value at not less than five
dollars per acre, making Four Millions Pri-
vate stock, firmly held, say seven hundred thou
sand dollars, and which can now be increased
if permitted by the present stockholders, to one
million within five days. To these, in aid Of
the survey, a bonus Of five thousand dollars, by
an Act conditioned oil the Congressional grant
now consumated The land grant, when made
available, by an Act of the Legislature, by n.y.
pothecation, will safely realize three millions
if desired. Each Of the several responsible bid.
ders for building the road, proposes to take
more or less Of the stock. as we understand
and will now not submit to take less than half a
million, on contract to finish and furnish COM
plete, the whole line of the road with steam up
and cars in order within years.
The stock may be summed up as follows:
State credit in 20 years bonds, $l,5O0,OOO
bonus for survey 5000
Donation by Congress
on hypothecation, 100000
Private stock--individuaIs and counties
cities, 100000

Tho President Of the Pacific r. n. Company.
in bis fereibIe appeal to The Governor TO con-
vene an extra session Of the Legislature, re-
marks Of the Hannibal and St Joseph r. r..
that this viii be more important considers
ton 10 the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad
company than TO us"
The truth Of this suggestion will be more APP
parent when we reflect that our road penetrates
richer and better country Of lands; thai the rap
ID entry and cultivation must be suspended I'M
til the remaining lands are liberated and pub
lcly offered for sale; that Che work and expend-
lures on the Pacific have actually been COM
menced, and that channels of negotiations and
resources for money are opened, and The line Of
duty and Of interest TO the Road, is marked out
and systematized; while, not only The location
Of The Hannibal and st. Joseph Railroad has not
been made, but financial arrangements have not
nor cannot be made, so as TO place the company
in the best condition, until the muniiicent grant
sEF Congress shall be placed in position, by Che
Legislature, that viii insure thaf permanent cred
il to which such valuable securities as these
lands viii cntitlc them.
II is true that the survey and location Of the
Road, already commenced under authority of the
Legislature, in the act Of incorporation, may
proceed and also, that the Governor might APP
point agents 70 select the lands, outside Of the
six miles, Gin lieu Of such as have been sold,
70 proceed with, and as the location is made!---
But besises the delay for the right Of way through
the public lands, it is the important interest of
the company, as well as the universal demand
Of the country, that the work of construction
shall commence without delay.
The country and the company are not igno-
rant Of the present suspicious moment for ia
vorable action!1he spirit and the means are at
hand, and available. The legal forms arc only
wanting! Then why delay2 Why should we
vascillate and delay, perhaps until some unrore-
seen impediments, in commerce or in war, shall
happen9
Other and more cogent reasons might be urg-
ed for converting the Legislature; but the Gov
ernor, and the Company, are in this respect the
Representatives Of the country and the people,
who demand it, without doubt.

FROM THE PLAINS EM1GRANTs RETURNING,

The steamer Yuba, from the Missouri, ar
rived on Saturday morning, bringing down be-
tween forty and fifty disheartened California
emigrants, who after prosecuting portion of
the jOurney-some from three to four hundred
miles-became discouraged, declined the trim.
and are now on their return to their respectiy G
homes. They bring most dolerul accounts of
the prevalence Of the cholera on the plains, and
Of those who came down on the Yuba, several
have lost relatives and friends by cholera. One
poor family on the boat-a mother and two
children ARE returning without the husband and
father, and four or five little Ones The officers of
the Yuba do not report much sickness at the
different towns along the river but it is said
there are several hundred emigrants at different
points who have taken the back track, and are
now waning conveyance by water to homes SO
recently deserted. The majority are quite des-
titute OF means, and compelled to remain on the
river until favorable opportunity presents
itself for coming down.
A Mr.. Waddlngham, who came down on the
Yuba, states that his company, consisting OF
thirty-nine men, travelled out some three hun
bred miles, but being overtaken by the cholera,
turned back after losing thirteen OF their num-
Der. Another Company, commanded by one
Capt. Perry, which left about the same time with
Mr.. Waddingham, lost fifteen and yet another,
composed of about forty persons, whom Mr..
Waddingham met on his return, has lost five
and were then all sick but one. All accounts
agree that a vast deal of sickness has been ex-
perienced by almost every company going out,
and much suffering is yet TO be endured. The
Indians, it is said, are friendly now, and do not
even modest the weakest trains.-St. Louis H.

Naples and Hannibal Railroad = Our Plank Roads, &C.
NJ We learn that a considerable delegation
was sent to The Illinois Legislature, by meet
ing in Pike county, H., instructed to use all
profitable efforts TO procure a charter for a.
railroad from Naples to Honnibal 0nthe 10Th
inst, an act passed the Senate OF the Illinois
Legislature, to incorporate the " Pike County
Railroad Company" Pike county is populous
and wealthy, and able to build The road herself,
without the assistance 81 the Hannibal and St.
Joseph Railroad Company, though such assist
ance we presume would be given, il required.
This thirty-eght miles Of Railroad will connect
us with all the principal commercial points OH
the Ohio, the Lakes, the Atlantic Coast and the
Gulf. Hannibal will then become in effect a
central point, from which the trade and travel
of Northern Missouri may diverge to every quar-
ter Of the Union. in return, the vast variety
Of productions of North, South, East and West,
will be collected here and ow into the interior
Ito say nothing Of the most direct and most
natural route to connect with the swarming and
rich poulation of California, and thence with the
East, commencing at the western terminus Of
our railroad. The Iron Horse has supplied Gin
cinnati with manufactures, and built up that
city. We are similarly situated, except that
we have better natural advantages. Our own
shoulders to the wheel, with similar energy, and
Hannibal must inevitably become large and
flourisling city. Our citizens appreciate these
favorable circumstances, and without Stacking
their efforts to carry forward the railroad, have
commenced system of
PLANK ROADS,
To Increase and facilitate the immediate trade.
The Hannibal and New London Plank Road,
which owed its commencement TO two Of our
most enterprising citizens, has been taken ur
warmly by the people of Hannibal and Rails
and, through the indomitable perseverance and
energy OF our worthy Mayor, seconded by other
public spirited men, spirit of improvement
has been aroused, and consciousness of the future
brilliant prospects of this section of the country
now pervades and animates the entire communi-
ty. The result has been that the New London
Road is now being pushed rapidly forward, il
being already graded from McMuRTRAY's Hill
to Mr.. Dams, distance of about three miles.
The Paris Plank Road has been surveyed,
and the construction of that will also be con.
Quoted with rapidity. This road will eventually
extend to Glasgow, on the Missouri river.
The Palmyra Road will complete the system of
Plank Roads.
Under the influence Of these movements, rea
estate is rising in value, of course. Persons
who, last Fall, postponed buying, under the i'm
preston that prices must become lower, are
now getting their eyes open to the fact, that the
sooner they make their purchases the better.
