NORTH. WESTERN RAILROAD.

We hear it runored that public meeting will
be held in few days to give this work a renew
ed impetus. Its importance, lis feasibility and
its necessity are daily becoming more apparent,
There is, we believe, disposition on all hands
to take h I'D of it at once, and IN earnest.
We take the above from the Gaiena J.Ser-
sonian. We suppose the "public meeting to
give the work renewed impetus was the
meeting of The voters of jackson County in this
State last Monday, to decide on the question OF
taking $190,00o stock in I" the great North
Western Railroad" The renewed impetus"
was there given in the very awkward shape OF
solemn decision by the county that the great
project WAS unnitigated ard egregious hum
bug. The maj 'rity against il was vrry large,
the vote in Bellevue being unanimous an the
negatirc. This is the more emphatic from being
the first and only instance in Iowa where rail.
road election has MT resulted in favor OF sub
scrip,on In fact, the scheme 50 transpa-
ren;ly absurd, that it not only failed itself, but
killed the subscription to the Iowa Air Line
Road with which it was joined, and which the
people Of the county understood to favor
1t strikes US powerfully that this is rather an
impetus backward. though we have no inclina-
ton to dispute the Jefcrsonian's remark that il
shows "a disposition to take hold of it at once
and in earnest F"

PROFESSOR AGASSIZ

We have received a communication from this
eminent naturalist, who is Professor of Zoolo
gy and Geology in the Lawrence Scientific
School, at Cambridge, Mass, and is now en-
gagged, and has been for several years, in the
preparation Of Is Natural History Of the Fishes
Of the United States" In this arduous and i'm
portant undertaking Professor Agas>iz is de<ir-
Gus of receiving the assistance Of intelligent
and observing people in all sections Of the Uni
on, and Of attaining collections of our fishes
from every bay and inlet along the coast, and
from every stream river, creek lake and pond,
upon the min land, throughout the whole
country. From remote and inland places in
particular-places not yet explored by naturalis's
he is DESTROYS of obtaining specimens. He
has forwarded some printed circulars to us,
giving all necessary directions, which we shall
be happy to distribute among those willing to
render the required assistance. We hope our
citizens will not be backward on this occasion
but that some will be found in everv section OF
the state, who will be willing to act in the mat.
Ter, and aid in procuring for every variety of
the funny tribes Of Iowa its due place in the
Professors forthcoming work.
Of all men Professor Agassiz is undoubtedly
best qualified TO undertake a work Of the kind !;
and we have every resaon to believe that when
completed, it will be the most perfect one in re-
lation to this class of animals in existence, and
an honor at once to the writer, and to the ma
ton.
Will onr contemporaries notice the above ?

RED RIVER RAFT "A few days since We
stated briefly that the removal Of the Bed riyel
raft has been again advertised for contract BY
the United States government, the former
contractors having failed to complete the work
and abandoned the enterprise. BY a commu
nication which appears in the National ln,elli.
gencer, it seems that the raft is Formidable
that its removal is thought imprscticable. =
According to this writer, the great raft was
originally one hundred miles in length, ard not
ten miles Of it has ever been renewed
Through this whole extent The river is obs'ruc-
ted by immense aggregation of logs and
trees, which have 10 be dug up and sawed out
The attempt 10 remove this great raft was
abandoned many years ago, and new route
adopted for navigation, by way of Bayou
Pierre, Shreveport, Lake Caddo, and canal
from thence to Red river above the raft, which
is used to this day. This, however, is also annu-
ally obstructed by raft at the upper END found
by every trqshei.
The writer ofthe communication alluded to
is astonished that the government has nat ad
yerised for contracts to keep open this A'an
mel, instead of attempting the removal Of the
great raft, which he considerrs as permanent
as the falls of Niagara, This. however, seems
but temporizing policy and in these days,
whep science accomp!sl.es seeming imposs-
tilities, it is not likely that the Red river raft
will long defy the skill ofour ingenious engin-
GERS and mechanics. If ten miles of the hun
bred have already been cleared of distractions
there is no reason why the rest cannot,
be and the Red river is too important a
stream TO Ieman permanently choked up viii,

THE CHINCIIA OUTRAGE.

The Geographic account of this affair is rath-
er brief and omiis many particulars As the
matter threatens to be a serious , we give
fuller detail of i, from our eastern exchanges -
1t seems that il had its origin from the acciden-
tai killing Of pelican with oar, while four
men belonging to the U. S. ship Defiance
were rowing from the shore TO their ship
They were put in irons on board the guard
ship The mate wen, and offered to pay the
fine of one dollar for the offence, but could not
procure their release. The captain of the De-
fance, who followed on the same errand, was
escorted back to his ship The next morning
twenty five American captains went to the
guardsip 10 demand the release ofthe men,
They were politely received, but the comman
dant arriving soou after, ordered the sixty ma
rines to charge, and the American shipmasters
was pushed overheard at the point of the bayo-
net; some were beaten with the butts Of musfets
and soTe wounded with cutlasses ; one boy
John ID. Foster, of Sandwicy, was shot in
| the thigh. Afterwards, when the Defiance got
| ready t, sail, Capt. McCerren fired a parting
salute with his cann'n, whereupon snme OF thu
| authorizes boarded him. and made him pay
| $25 FINE. McCerren told them they had bet
ter wait, as they would soon have in opp,rtuni-
! iy to collect another. This gave offence, and
| The Defiance again boarded by two boats
| from the Peruvian war steamer Rmlc. Ont
Of the Peruvans accidentally discharged bis
musket, and was immediately shot by his lieu
tenant For this Capt. McCerren was arres-
ted as the murderer, wounded with an axe
pitched into tho guard-boat, beaten with mus
ke,s, and put 10 irons on board the war steam.
err The Defiance was taken TO Callao by one
of the Peruvian naval officers. The commit
tee of The American sh,pmasters went to Lin
to represent the outras to our charge, returned
to Chincha on the 4th Of September with new
commandant, and orders for the old one to re-
