Ralroaa from PALMYRA 70 Quincy

( In another column will he found two articles,
one from the Palmyra Wing and one from the
Quincy Wing, stating that arrangements have
been commenced looking toward the building of
railroad, under our general railroad law, from
Palmyra to Quincy This new project is fur
Their exhibition OF the enterprise of the ci izens
of Palmyra and Quincy in building up heir
respective places Hannibal Journal.
From the above paragraph it would seem that
the Quincy and Palmyra road has the same effect
upon Hannibal as that of the quack's "purely
vegetable" medicine which made all his patients
" die easy" If the statement is true, we cannot
but admire the stocal resignation of the Journal
editor. The people Of Hannibal must be disci-
plies Of DiogeneS, or fatally infatuated Per-
haps they can't avoid the threatened danger, and
having determined not to despise the " day Of
small things" will settle down into quiet re-
tail trade in tape, buttons and cheap prints
Perhaps most of them expect 10 remove tu
Quincy; which we advise lh'm to do, il the
Palmyra "cut-of is built. Will our Hannibal
friends inform us as TO the state of the case {?
Don't tell us about your wealth aud enterprise,
and ability Of competition. We know all about
that; but tell Us what is your general law, and
if the right o! a company TO build the road is
clear Ii il is, we must say to Hannibal, with
deep grief. " may the Lord have mercy on vour
soul" In the mean tins we commend this
abominoble " cut-otf 10 the notice Of the editor
of the Chicngo Democrat - Pittsfeld Free
Press.
In answer to our neighbor Of the Free Press,
we must state that our quiet remarks originated
from a sense Of justice and propriety in re-
framing from opposition to project precisely
similar TO one we are seeking TO accomplish in
Illinois. 1t would not have seemed liberal TO
oppose the road from Palmyra TO Quincy mere
ly on local grounds. This is the principle we
asserted in blaming Quincy for her unjust, Bit
Ter opposition to The Pike county road. They
have the authority, under our general railroad
law, to build the road from Palmyra to Quincy F;
and whether they ever build it or not, we are
disposed to mee out TO others as much liberal
ity as we claim for ourselves.
We do not think the road, il il should be bull,
VIII injure Hannibal much as the editor OF
the Free Press appears to imagine.

LrcruREs on MusIo.--Last night Professor
Belcher delivered an instructive lecture upon
the elements of music, in which he seemed to
prove to the satisfaction of the audience, that
the elements Of music can be easily taught in a
few lessons. A class has been made up. An
other lecture will be given tonight at the Chris
tian Church, and special invitation is extended
to the public. The exercises will no doubt be
quite interesting as well as instructive.

THE WHIRLWIND
,BY 5wm. c. BRYANT.

Whom last visited the country beyond
the Alleghenies, travelled from Wheeling
10 Lexington oon horseback. in order to
coutemplats more at my leisure the beau
iiful scenery OF that interesting region.
On my way fell in with person also on
horse back, going in the same direction,
Who seemed inclined to Join company with
ne. an arrangement to which. as had al
ready travelled q considerable distance
alone, I felt no particular aversion. He
was apparently about forty FIVE years OF
age. Of spare athletic make. and a sallow.
almost swarthy complexion. His eyes
we're Of q dull hazel; they lay deep in their
sockets. and were surrounded by circles
Of 1 darker tinge than therest Of his face.
Above them a pair Of low. horizontal, coal
black eyebrows, gave an inexpressibly
hard and escetic air to his countenance.
He ~ore a black bombazett coat, the tight
sleeves Of which set off 10 great advantage
his lean arns, the large joints Of his e'-
bows, bis big wrists, and the heavy hands
With which ne grasped his beechen switch
and the reins Of his bride. The remain
der Of fhis apparel consisted of we'll
saved hat, in that state Of respectable rusti-
f,ess iii which that articleis kept by decent
people who do not often indulge themselves
h the luxury Of new one. pepper-and.
salt.colored satinet pantaloons. over which
were drawn q pair OF rust colored boots, a
black silk waistcoat, and scanty white
crayat, The sharp spear-like ends of which
Droiected in different directions from un.
der his brown throat. He bestrode tall
strong climbed, lean. black horse; across the
saddle hung well-flled portmanteau; and
from under the pommel peeped bit o
sheepskin. dressed with the wool on, placed
there to prevent the animals back from
being chafed with the journey.
dsH He returned civil answer to my salu
tation, with broad and prolonged enun
ciation of ths vowel sounds, and melan
6holy quayer Of the voice. The tones
however, were full, mellow. and evidentl.
chltivsted. If had previously any doub
ar his vocation, il was now removed; ant
finstsntly set him down for an itineran
preacher Of the Baptist or Methodist per
Suasion. Adapting my conversation to hi
supposed profession, / inquired Of him IN
state Of religion in those parts, On thi
lherne he was abund dantly eloquent, and

ONE HUNDRED MILES PER HoUR.-"A
Maine Yankee" announces, through the
National Intelligencer, the invention Of a
form of road and improved locomotive,
which he says, will safely transpor. the
mails and passengers at the rate Of one
hundred miles per hour! The writer fur
ther says, he has been made acquainted
with the details of these improvements,
(which are SO palpably correct in theory,
and feasible in practice. that every civil
engineer and railroad man will, on exam
lination, at once recognize and admit, as
the desideratum, even to the extent Of

next Congress. it is said, is to be invited
to secure it's adoption, and give to the
world the result of the FIRST experiment.
The construction of a post-railroad be-
