Southern wisconsin Rail Road and Gao
lena.

The Galena papers very Indignantly de-
nounce the Southern Wisconsin Rail Road
Company, for an alleged failure to comply
with the terms of contract between the lat
ter and certain citizens of Galena in the month
of December last This contract contempla-
ted the building of abraneh II miles in length
to connect the road with that city.
The main facts, as we have been informed,
in relation to that contract, are these: the cost
of the road, it was supposed by both parties,
would not exceed 100000. Galena was to
subscribe stock to the amount of 100000
by the 1 5th of April last, and this stock of
the branch road was to form part of the gen
eral stock of the company.
Upon a careful survey and estimate of tho
route from Benton point on the Southern
Road to the city of Galena, it has been as
certained that branch cannot be built and
equipped for less than about S750,000, and,
of course, the propriety of encounterinS SO
heavy an expense may well be doubted. Tho
Company have in good faith made the sur
veys at their own expense but they do not
propose to build branch at such enormous
cost as to amount to nearly one-third of the
cost of the whole work, when its construction
would be of doubtful benefit to all Interested
except the city Of Gaena. Had it been sup
posed last December, that the proposed branch
would cost such a magnificent sum, the idea
of building it would hardly have been enter
tanned on either side. While our Galena
neighbors are discussing so Indignantly of
craw-fshing and ralroad-peddling, it Is ask
ed, where is the subscription to the stock of
the road, which they were to have perfected
by the 18th of April! Have they so per-
formed their part of the agreement, as towar-
rant them in holding the Company to a very
strict account?

A TERRIBLE but true picture Of the con-
dition Of Continental urope-The cele-
brated Victor Hugo, in the course of recent
funeral Grafton on Jean Bosquet, an exile
from France, because he was republican,
delivers the following:
Cihzensi At this present hour, this ia
tai hour which will be marked in times to
come, the principle of absolutism, the old
principle of the past triumphs all over Eu-
rope. 1t triumphs as it should triumph, by
the sword, the axe and the cord; by masa-
ores and musketry; by tortures and the scat
fold. Despotism that Moloch, surrounded
by human bones celebrates her fearful nys-
teries in open sunlight, under the pontifcate
of Haynau, Bonaparte and a Radetzky.
In Hungary, the galows; in Lombardy the
gallows; in Sicily, the gallows; in France,
the guilotine, ira sportation, and exile. In
the Papal States alone, | cite the Pope, who
calls himself II roi de douceur, in the Papal
States alone, in the last three years, sixteen
hundred and forty patriots, (the figures are
authentic) have persisted by shooting or hang
ing, without counting the inuumerable many
who are buried alive in dungeons. At this
moment, this continent, as in the worst peri
DDS of history, is encountered with scafolds
and corpses; and if when the day comes,
revolution should seek to make for herself
a flag of the winding-sheets of the victims,
the shadow Of that black flag would cover all
Europe. This blood which is flowing in
streams and in torrents, all this blood, demo-
Gratis, is yours.

The Kitchen.

Talk of the parlor, with its touch-me-not
elegance-we care nought for it. Let its
covered magnifcence riot i'll darkness, its red
velvet lie in shrouds-its pictures gaze dimly
through crape-its SPLENDID piano stand
dumb in its linen coyer-lts worsted roses,
and gillitiowers remain unpucked in dark
corners-its carpets bloom unseen. Let the
shutters and double curtains exclude every
beautiful ray of light; it is welcome to its
darkness and its solitude, while we can have
the pleasant, airy, yellow-fooIed, unexpected
kitchen.
This is the place for real enjoymehtzthe
kitchen, with its bright shelves and clean white
tables, white with time. The kitchen, with
its comfortable old easy chair; and broad,
shining hearth-and cracking, blazing fire.
We do not mean the kitchen in the great
house, where lazy servants have entire controb
and the lady of the house never sets her foot
within its precincts, but tle homely, comfort
able kitchen of the we-to-do working man,
where the wife and the kettle sing togethe-
and the little children prattle round the moth
er while her own hands set the table for tea.
There may be snow in the cleaning, or
sun-arrows lodging in the tops OF the trees
there may be city walls about, or blue water
and undulating hills. 1t matters not--in
such place everything smacks Of true com
fort,
Make the kitchen attractive and pleasant by
all means. How absurd to keep one room in

New school General Assembly.

The New School General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church holds its session this year in the
City of Buffalo. The Old School at the same
time meets in the City of Philadelphia. In both
assemblies, in spite of compromise" and consi-
derstions of expediency, the question of slavery
finds its way into their deliberations.
In the New School Assembly, an exciting de-
bate sprang up on the question of adopting re-
port recommending DR.. Judd's History of the d.
vision of the church, which contains sentiments
condemnatory of slavery. The southern mem
bers wanted the antslavery part of the book strick
en- out.
:" Mr.. Niles of Wis, wanted the book as it is
slavery chapter and ALL If the impression was not
sent abroad that they were in advance of the Old
School branch on the subject of slavery, il would
kill the Presbyterian Churches in Wisconsin,
They had proclaimed themselves as autislavery
bodies, and you cannot circulate expurgated
edition of this book among them. He spoke at
some length, advocating the anti-sayery side of
the question.
Rev Mr.. Magruder was not an ultraist upon
this subject and he did not wish TO be considered
as the antipode of the gentleman who had just ia
ken his seat. We all remember that few years
ago we went through a severe struggle in the po-
lttical world which resulted in the adoption of the
Compromise Now the gentleman says he can
not circulate an expurgated edition in Wisconsin.
We cannot circulate the present edition at the
South. Now let us compromise, if YOU please by
allowing the brother from Wisconsin to circulate
this edition and we will circulate the proposed
to be issued with us. After an earnest appeal to
the Assembly not to encourage agitation and cri-
mnation on this question, he withdrew the motion
to postpone.
Rev. Mr. Spencer of Wisconsin, said that he
did not deem that they would have any difficulty
in Wisconsin in relation to the circulation of this
book be it of the first second edition. Hewish-
ed those who assumed to speak for that State,
would conin. themselves to limits without the
district which he represented, which embraced the
largest and thickest settled part of the State.
The Rev Mr.. Spencer is resident of Milwau
kee: through his efforts some two years ago, an
exclusive presbyteral organization was effected in
Wisconsin, which now embraces some half dozen
churches in the State This is the only religious
body in Wisconsin, which has any ecclesiastical
connection with the General Assembly. While
Mr. Spencer, therefore, processes to represent the
largest and thickest settled part of the State, "
he probably speaks the sentiments of only small
| fraction of the churches in Wisconsin. Nearly il
not all the ecclesiastical bodies in this State have
repeatedly passed resolutions condemnatory Of
slavery in all its aspects.

Mrs. STOWE AT STAFFORD HoUsE.-The au-
thoress of "Uncle Toms Cabin" was, on Satur-
day, welcomed to Stafford house by the Duchess
OF Sutherland, where, in the midst of an assem-
blage of ladies of rank and influence and no small
muster of public men, she received the long talk
cd of address. The scene was one of much inter
est and as Mrs. Beecher Stowe,-slim, sun-com-
plexoned, active, intelligent, simply dressed, and
perfectly self-possessed was seen pettcd and IL
onized by whole bevy of Duchesscs and Count

THE CoMING THoUsANDs.-Private let
tiers from the Old World state that the move
ment towards the New is likely to prove ex-
traordinary within the coming six months.
1t is estimated that some 100000 men,
women and children will leave England and
Ireland, and that this vast army will be IN
creased to nearly half million by adventu-
rers from Germany and other portions of Eu-
rope. A still further impulse is likely to be
given to this tide, by the strikes in the Uni
ted States and the e&trayagant reports that
are published in foreign journals, as the de-
mand for labor and the high rates of wages
N this country What is likely to be the
general result Let us-imagine the Access
sion of population of half million within
the next six months, and of this aggregate,
at least 100000 laborers. The inquiry is
well worth pursuing. Oswego, NJ Y Pal.

Coat NEAR La CRossE.-Dr. Heath, Of
this place, handed us last evening, a speci-
men of stone coal, which he discovered in
Minnesota, about Is miles west of this place
This coal has peculiar appearance unlike
either the anthracite or bituminous coal that
we have been accustomed to see in Pennsyl-
vania. We have tried small piece of it,
and it burns freely, emitting a gas with a
strong odor resembling that which arises from
the burning of ordinary anthracite coal 1t
has been generally believed that no coal ex-
isted anywhere in this region Of country near
er than Blue Earth River, about 90 miles
west Of La Crosse; where it is by several old
hunters in this vicinity, said to be in large
quantities. If it is fact that large quaint
ties Of COAL lie in the region about Blue Earth
River, the vein or lead may extend easierlv
to the Mississippi river. And this view Of
the matter is quite probable as the divide of
the waters running north from those rurling
south extends from the Mississippi river near
~ opposite this place to Blue Earth river,
We think this matter worthy of further jnyes-
tigation.-La Crosse Democrat.
