TIE RAILROAD SURVEYS.

Commenting on the article of Stakeholder
which we copied from the Brunswi,ker short
time ago. the editor of the Chillicothe Livings-
ton Co., Chronicle says:
Col Benton says--and he ought to know, for
he has dealt very extensively and proftabIy nj
the article-that "a lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth We must, however, do the old
sinner the Justice TO say, that when be does peTs
petrate fb, it is generally rouser; apd having
once let it pass the portal of his lips, he sticks 70
it as tenaciously as grim Death is supposed to
adhere to a defunct Ethiopian, and bears himself
as gallautly in defending it as Georgia Major
at militia training. q Stockholder,' follow
ing the lead of SO illustrous cXemplar, has, at
one dash Of his pen, converted Livington county
into quagmire, and at another stretched the mil
iary land district in Linn from twelve TO twen-
i ty-sevcn miles Having made these ERRONEOUS
statements, either wilfully or without exactly
knowing what he was writing about, and had
them printed, he will, as a matter of course,
, stick 10 them; if not, Old Bullion will discard
him as an unworthy disciple and milksop, lack
ling the moral courage TO stand by his own rick
ETY. bantlings after he has brought them into ex-
4 stenee.
a "A Stockholder, in speaking of Mr.. Bullitt's
route, says that it goes clean through the one
e hundred thousand acres of swamp land in LiV-
e ingston county'-and, without stopping to take
v breath, adds, and for q distance of twenty-sev-
!! en- miles, clean through Linn in the military
1t boundary in which the grant by Congress 10 aid
e in the construction of the road is of no value T.
1t thus crowdng two glaring misstatements (not
If to characterize them by harsher epithet) into
lie one sentence.
hi With regard to the first erroneous statement
1t of "a Stakeholder we were informed on Wed.
5, nesday last, by DR.. Isaac w. Gibson, who Sc.
lie locted the swamp and overlooked lands in this
Ut county, that the quantity would not at the OUT
he side exceed forty thousand acres, and would
e. probably fall far short of that amount. A con!
re siderable portion of it, too, it is believed. will
on be contended for by the Railroad Company, on
" the ground that it does not come within the pur.
d, view of the swamp land grant
Error No. 2of "a Stakeholder is in references
to the military bounty lands in Linn county. Mr.
Abel Cox, our efficient county court clerk, ex,
he amned at our request the plat of those lands, or
he file in his office, and he reports to that they
ed are all embraced within townships 81 and So
dy the first lying between ranges II and 20, anG
cts the second between ranges 20 and 81. If thil
nd is not correct, "a stakeholder, has the means
hand of setting us right.

MIR. J. W. BARTON


Deserves general commentator for having
resortcd TO his brush when he first came amongst
us, instead of waiting for some lucky turn Of
fortune, or lounging about public houses,
in hone that some one would furnish him the
means TO re-estabish him in his profession, and
repair the misrortunes brought upon him by un-
toward circumstances. Placed by his own eX-
crtions, after six months labor, upon his stage
of action, he has, contrary TO the expectations
of many, proved himself master in his profess
sion. We have witnessed the performances OF
the celebrated Professors Anderson, Adrienne
Macallister, Blitz, and others, and we unhesita
tingly pronounce Professor Barton equal TO thu
best of them,
His language is so entirely free from low ant
vulgar wilticisms and the cant slang of the day
and his performance SO chaste, so brilliant ant
SO wonderful, that he cannot fail to please tn
most fastidious. And In conclusion, we do nc
know of pluce where one may pass an evenin
more innocently or more pleasantly than wit
the Wizard Of the West, or, in other word.
/ with our friend and fellow citizen, Mr., Barton
, Go and see him. A sight Of his stage, with il
numerous devices and magnificent tyappings,
, worth the price of admission, to say nothing

TIE MArLs.-There is no regularity about
the mails; no such thing as calculating when
they will come; they are said to be tri-weekly
from, Saint Louis, but we don't believe it, for
the last two mails were ten days apart. The
sound that announces the coming of the stage
has got 10 be"like some kinds of that very slow
animal called oxen - immensely wide between
the horns. Fhe roads are bad, il is true, but il
is seriously intimated by those who ought TO
know, that if there were any passengers, the
mail would have arrived much sooner.
How increasing the weight to be hauled may in
crease the facilities for transportation is
question in philosophy which we are not able tC
determine. If any set Of mail contractors needs

WuEAT.-Red wheat is worth 70 cents per
bushel; white wheat IS cents; but as it has a
downward tendency, those prices cannot be de-
pended on for long time to come. A good
desl of wheat it is supposed will be kept over
by the farmers until after next harvest, when,
as prices will depend on the coming crops, it is
quite likely that more disappointment will ensue
as to prices.

child, and a generous stable-keeper furnished
her with carriage TO convey it to its last rest
