Land for the LandleSS,

The Homestead Bill, reported in Con
gress, few days ago, by Mr.. Dawson,
provides that any person who is the head
of family and a citizen of the U. States,
shall be entitled to enter, free of cost, one
quarter section of vacantand unappropria-
tedpublic lands, ,or aquantity equal thereto
to be located in body, in conformity with
the legal subdivisions of the public lands,
and after the same shall have been survey
ed. Five years reaidence is required up
on said land, after the date of entry, be-
fore patent shall issue therefor, and the
land is to be exempt from all liability for
any debt contracted prior to the issuing
of the patent. Residents of any State OF
Territory, notnaturalized, are to be placed
upon the same footing as citizens, provid-
ed they have filed their declaration of in
tention, and shall become citizens before
the issuance of the patent. Noindividual
is to be permitted to make more than one
entry, and existing preemption rights are
to be in no way interfered with.

Our Rail Road Again.

Our only apology for the lies we told
last week about the state of progress of
our road is that we told them as they were
told to us, and supposed them to be true
We shall be more careful hereafter. To
show that we are not doing all the fcti-
tious on this subject we instance the fol-
lowing whopper from our neighbor. down

The OHIO AND INDIANA RAILROAD
We learn that the Ohio and Indiana Rail
road is now completed to Patterson, on the
Mad River Road-the first train passed
over the whole line from Crestline to Pat
terson, yesterday. West of Patterson, to
the Indiana line, the work is being prose
cuted with energy; and large quantities oi
iron 7 rally are now in store at this place
and Toledo, for laying the unfinished por-
ton. The completion Of the whole line
from Crestline to FL. Wayne may be look
ed for in the early part of next season.
p We are glad to hear that, at various
points on the newly opened road, large
quantities Of produce are collecting, and
that every preparation is making for doing
aspeedy and regular business. AS the
line runs through one of the very best por-
tions OF the State, its value to the Mad Riv.
er Road, as feeder, cannot be over esti
mated. Arrangements are now making
by which the -four, grain, &C., at Bucy
rus, Upper Sandusky, DC, will be brought
to this place, scithoaa transshipnaent at Pat
terson. This will give to those places the
advantages of direct communicatior
with the Lakes.
The conduct Of this new road reflect:
every credit on Lester S. Bliss, the ac
ting President, and under his continued
supervision it cannotfail of success.-.San

Matters at Washinton.

gives a brace of items:
Senator Gwin will be out in the National
tomorrow with four columns
on the best route for the Pacific Railroad,
in answer to Benton's letter of the 18TH
The Senator's article is able, practical, and
fearlessly excoriating upon Old Bullion.
The controversy is destined to prove tart
and recherche.
The Government is anxious about Sonora
affairs. 1t telegraphed to New York to-
day to detain the California steamer, but
it was received too late. The object was
to order naval officer to proceed to Pan
anna and charter steamer, procure crew
and sail for the Gulf of California in search
of the schooner having on board the Sonora
fillibusters---c the men and carry
them to California for trial. 1t is feared
that Santa Anna will capture and summa-
rily execute them, which would infame
and make fllibusters of all Califonians,
and possibly produce another Mexican
war. Government, thongh foiled in stop
ping the steamer, will find some way to
prevent Santa Anna from shedding Amer
ican blood

The members of the bar of Seneca
County have had a supper at the shawhan
House and along with the supper, great
palaver, or what an Indian would call a big
talk. Some twcnty-three speeches were
madeupon the occasion portion of which
are already prepared for the press, and we
understand one of the enterprising pub
fishers of Tifin City intends to publish
the entire series in an illustrated volume

one of the institutions of the city, as con-
templated by its founders, we may ex-
pect volume annually hereafter.

We regret that the audience manifested
their approval of the performances by
continued stamping with their feet, thing
not permitted in respectable theaters, and

Sharp, but True.

The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer has
an article on the conduct of the Erie folks
which, in point Of severity and cutting
sarcasm, is unsurpassed. We copy few
of the opening sentences. If ever peo-
pie were rapidly earning themselves in
fanny, it is the people of this borough ON
the Lake shore. ..
There are cakes to sell between here
and sun.down; take your map and We'll
tell you where. Put your finger down
upon the Atlantic coast just where all the
trade from the Eastern world strike it,
push boldly Westward along that broad
thoroughfare. swsrming with travel and
freight until you have reached the take
follow it on as it sweeps around the
shore, till it crosses the Pennsylvania
line-then look at the speck there, and
spell out its name. That's thespot where
cakes are to be had--nay, where they
must be had, under penalty of durance
vile. 1t is the Elsinore of the western
world--the key of the Keystone--and
the only pass lies in the purchase Of a
ha'penny worth of "cakes and ale, -
"Tis prescriptive right; standing priv
Hedge The commerce of the continent,
dash along elsewhere as it please, on the
wings of the wind, must here halt and
pay its farthing tribute. Justice must be
done-to the cakes of Erie,-though the
heavens fall.
But why will not this Erie be content
with the character of sturdy beggar?
Why need it turn rowdy and scoundrel?
It fears that its occupation is-if not
gone-going; but this is no excuse. Char
ity has not died out of the world yeti
and would Erie place town hat by her
town pump, our word for it, the passers-
by would put many coppers in. There
can be no reason for the violent excesses
it has lately committed. They are dis
graceful; they are criminal; if done by
an individual, they would be punished by
the penitentiary. There can be no differ
ence between the wanton destruction OF
private property by town and by sim
gle person. The whole course of violence
in Erie has been felonious from beginning
to end. .sE... .t -..

Newport SAFETY Fund Bank.

We have for some days been intending
to direct attention to this concern, but the
following article, which we copy from the
Cincinnati Price Current, renders anything
more unnecessary. The matter will
doubtless command the early attention of
the Legislature, and in the meantime the
public would do we'll to refuse to receive
any of the small notes of this bank. There
is no security whatever for their redemp-
tion, and there is no telling at what mo-
ment they may become worthless.
The above, from the Louisville Courier,
of Friday, unquestionably means some
thing serious. "Owners and bidders," as
the auctioneers say, hadn't ye better keep
y'er, eye skinned?-Cm. Eng.
Lookout for breakers, there is fun ahead,
such perhaps as the holders ofthese notes
will regret.
