son as their standard-bearer IN that canvass.
and whereas the La Grange .Missourian has

St. Louis, Boone, and other counties vote
on similar propositions on Monday, and by
time the views of the counties interested
are known, liberal amount Of stock will
be subscribed. One hundred thousand dol
lars is small subscription for county of
the wealth of St. Charles, but was perhaps
large enough to start with. The road will
be worth five hundred thousand dollars to
her, the first ten years after it is completed,
and instead Of proving tax, her subscrip-
ton will turn out first rate investment
This rail road is one of the best projected
in the State, and will do more 10 improve
her lands and increase her products and
population, than any two of the others,
traversing, as it will, rich agricultural
country from St. Louis to the Iowa boundry,
and entering that State at the right point 10
bring its travel and products over it. Push
on the work!

ABEL LEONARD. Third Congressional
District Of Missouri.


We hear from number of sources, that
ABirL LrosAnD, Esq, of Howard county,
is, with general accord, designated by the
Wing sentiment Of the Third Congressional
District Of Missouri, as the proper man to
receive the suffrages ofthe party in that Dis
trict, for Congress, at the ensuing August
election.
The Democratic majority in the District
is about 1900, and, of course, it would be NO
cause of reflection OH Mr.. LEONARD, or Of
Standardization, If he should become can
didate and be defeated.
But we have the strongest reason to be-
lieve Mr.. LEONARD would be successful in
the canvass. The Democratic candidate
will unquestionably be CLAD. F. JACKSON;
the author of the celebrated jackson Reso-
buttons which were the cause of driyin,
Benton from the Senate. If there be man
in the State for whom the friends of Col
Benton could, under no circumstances, vote
It seems to us that man is c. F. Jackson
For, however secondary Col. Benton may
have regarded Jackson, in the original plot
oftreason against himself, and however lust
iy he may have considered him the mere
tool OF others in moving the resolutions now
so widely known by his name, it is not TO be
denied that Claiborne F. Jackson has been,
from that day to this, one of the most perse-
verlng, artful and efficient enemies the great
Senator has had. The Jackson Resolutions
we feel sure, would have been repealed, at
the late session Of the Legislature, but for
the presence and the adroit tactics of C. F.
Jackson in that body.
Can the Benton men, with any sort of con-
sistency, or sef-respect, or regard for their
ancient, gray-headed, and ilustrious leader.
lend their support to Jackson-to c. For
Jdckson2 Can they, with q good heart,
heap honors on the head of a man who lives
only to badger, taunt, defeat, and revile the
illustrious American Statesman-THoMAs
HART BENTON?
Apart from these considerations, which
cannot but ALLEVIATE all the true Benton Dem
ocrats of the Third District from the sup
port of the inevitable nominee-Mr. Leon
ard will have this additional strength in
the canvass: he is known and freely ac-
knowledged by men of all parties to be one
of the very ablest men in the West. He is
earnest, bold, generous and chivalric. He
would be kno,cn in Congress from the first
day Of his service there. He would be
kno,rn 10 the nation before his term would
expire.
Why not send .abiel Leonard to Coneressp
We know his purposes 10 be adverse to po-
litical life. But has man moral right to
refuse, when his country and his country
men require his services? Make him a
candidate and elect him in spite of himself!

SToRM.-A heavy storm of wind and
rain passed over this section Of country last
Thursday, doing considerable damage tc
barns and fences. At Fayette, the south.
ern portion of Capt. SwISsrY's large To-
baccO Factory, which was full of Tobacco
was blown down; the damage on the TO-
bacco, and the destruction of the building,
will prove pretty heavy loss. The Chin
neys of the college blew down, frightening
the children very much, but doing no other
damage. Capt. Watts had between five
hundred and thousand pannels of fence
blown down; we learn the fencing in the
vicinity of Fosters Prairie also suffered
In Saline, we understand, the damage to
the fencing is extensive, and we have heard
Of several barns being unroofed. The
wind was very severe here, but did no
damage. A heavy rain fell during the
storm, which, however, was much needed.

Third Congressional District.

We copy IN article in to-dsyls paper from
The News" suggesting our distinguished
fellow-countymsn, ABEL LEONARD, as q
suitable person to run for Congress, in this
Congressional District at the ensuing Au-
gust election. 1--WE know his purposes to
be averse to political strife" and have thus
far declined to bring his name before the
public, though repeatedly solicited so to do,
by his warmest personal and political
friends; but now that it has been done, we
feel at liberty to second the suggestion, and
heartily approve and endorse all that is said
Of him by our contemporary. He is a man
that would soon become known ameng men,
in any position he might be placed; and
is exactly the cast Of man that is wanted
now, in the popular branch of the national
Legislature. His eminent talents, dignity of
character, patriotic purposes, and entire free
dom from all the grovelling tactics of the
politician and demagogue, would have pow
orful effect in breaking up and doing away
with that prodlgal wase of time and money
for the which the House of Representatives
has become SO distinguished of late years.
And, again his long residence in the section
of country which composes the District he
would represent, if elected, emnently fits
him for the post, in local point of view.
He understands the condition and wants OF
the District, and has the ability, and elo-
quence, and dignity of manner, to make
those wants known and appreciated. We
care not who oppose if he be our standard
bearer.
As before remarked, we heartily second
the suggestion, and deem it wholly unne-
cessary to farther urge the fitness of Mr..
LEONARD for the place; and if it be the
pleasure of the Wing, to call him into the
field, and he accepts the call, we shall cheer
fully and zealously battle for his election,
not without strong hopes that we shall be
successful.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Herald.
Friendly intercourse between Mr.. soule
and the Spanish Minister Benton,

etc.
WASHINGTON, April l6.-The stories
about the probability of the refusal of the
Spanish government to receive Mr.. Soule,
amount to nothing. / am informed from
Washington that the past and existing per-
sonal and social relations between Mr.. Soule
and MIR. Calderon are Of the most friendly
character, and that it was but yesterday that
the latter paid friendly visit to Mr.. Soule,
at his residence. We should suppose that
the Spanish Minister, from this fact, does
not share in the appprehensions entertained
by the Spanish press of your city.
Col. Benton left yesterday for ST. Louis.
He says the people have sent him to Con-
gress, and that he intends togo. The Herald
hesays understands his position. 1t is the
House, and nothing else, for the next two
years, God willing.

we copy the following from the Nashville
Banner of Friday:
A few days ago some new and dangerous
counterfeit 500 bills on the Bank at Ten
nessee were passed in McMinn county by
four men protesting to be from Kentucky.
They were pursued to Bradley county, ar
rested, and $4,000 in these counterfeit 500
notes were found upon them.
One of these bills has been placed in our
hands for inspection. Upon comparison
with genuine bill, il will be seen that the
presidents signature is not well inflated
The stars in the dress of the female figure
on the right of the plate are indistinct. The
drapery of the female figure at the top of the
bill is paler than in the genuine. The dot
over in the word "wil" in the face of the
bill is placed too far to the left. There are
other differences which, upon close inspec-
ton, show the counterfeit; but the bill is
nevertheless well calculated to deceive.
