Ite session on Monday, Judge Clark on the

acting as Prosecuting Attorney. There
>Tas tolerable full docket, which will re-

Seventy five thousand dollars of stock
subscribed by the counties Of Shelby, Ma
con and Linn, lost. And The swamp lands
in these counties which would have been
subscribed, worth at least one hundred and
twenty-five thousand morc;-all lost 10 the
road, by the most unjust, iniqutous conduct
which ever set of men were guilty of.
This board has committed breach of
faith which amounts 10 little less than down
right swindling. These counties sub
scribed seventy-five thousand dollars upon
condition that the road should not be located
prcjndicial to their 'cU,py,,seats, the Com
pany accepted it with The condition annexed,
and received two or three thousand dollars
Of the money.
"Hence, good faith requires that they
shall comply with the condition. The Pa
ciic Railroad Company, under precisely the
same circumstances, decided that good faith
required them TO fulfill the condition. To
act otherwise is fraud for which an action
will lie TO recover the money back. Al
though Corporation has neither soul to
be damned, nor II body to be burned; We, if
its officers commit fraud, and the Corpora.
lion receive the benefit of il, il will be held
liable.
The Chillicothe Convention 'indicated"
the county seals Of these counties as being
points upon the line, one Bob Stewart made
certain survey which was never reported
anywhere, and taxed the people and coun-
lies with the expense and they paid it,
This self-same survey ''indcated" these
county seats as being upon the line of the
road. Every argument every act and eve
ry movement has went 10 induce every bo-
dy TO believe it would be so; and the i'm
preston was sought to be made, and so
well did it succeed that the people seemed
spell-bound.
"That deluson is about gone;-for our
self, we have not been deceived in all this:
except the mere location. we did not think
these sapient Directors were as soft as they
are.
"But what shall be done? Give them
what they deserve, fash after flash of your
adherence of their deception, hold public
meetings and resent the insult, withhold
from the road all your means and break
them down, this do; never compromise with
treacherous foe, no never. They cannot
build the road without you. Drive them 10
the wall; this you can do, and nothing less
than this will preserve your self respect
Say we have an indignation meeting at
Bloomington, as it is a central point; what
say you?
1--WE cannot write any more now; but we
intend to knock the scales off of this Black
Fort, i'll the dark folds of which this secret
conc!ave is want to sit, called the Board of
Directors"

Astounding News from Washington
Old Bullion Closeted with Piercel

Our Anti friends had scarcely revived
from the shock created by the news that
NCLELLAwD, one of Gen. Pierce's Cabi-
net was Wilmot Provisoist, and when in
Congress had voted for that odous thing:
and had not yet got done laughing over the
announcement that old Bullion and the Pres
idcnt had quarrelled, and that old Bullion
rad got the hot end of the poker-we say
they had scarcely checked their tears Of
sorrow by bursts of mirth" at these events,
before they are again thrown into midnight
gloom by the announcement that old Bullion
was well received, and actually invited 10 a
private confab by the President! A Mr..
Geo. w. Moore has just returned to St.
Louis, and informs the Editor Of the Dem
ocrat," after all the stories Of the quarrelling,
Sc, had been dispatched by the malicious
An'ie'--Green, Birch, Armstrong, &c.
lie, the said Moore. in company with Col.
Benton visited the Presidents Mansion,
and had an opportunity Of learning the
falsity of these statements. Col. Benton
was received by the President in cordial
md even tlattering manner. [; was the
Colonel's first visit, and made three DAYS
after the inauguratlon-a period subsequent
TO the date OF all the stories which have
been telegraphed throughout the Union
about a rupture between them. As Col.
Benton and Mr.. Moore were about retiring,
~ intimation from the President that he de-
sired private interview with the Colonel,
detained him, and Mr.. Moore withdrew
leaving them clOseted together"
Yes coseted together! What shall we
say to that? Wewon't say any,hing--we'n
Matt until we hear what the Antics say and.
until we know the result of that closeted"
copversation. Then We will open upon
them: we mean which ever side is TO blame
Catch US committing ourselves in u matter
q. sueh vast moment. "What we say unto
one, we say unto all" the Antics: Watch.
Benton men: Ditto. Recollect, both of YOU
there are Offices at stake.

Elm Ridge Academy.

Mn. GREEN:--I had the pleasure, with
many others, of being one of those assem-
bled at the close of the winter session of
this institution, Conducted by that thorough
bred teacher, Mr.. N. w. MILLER, for the
purpose of Witnessing the progress of the
pupils in the English language, and its va
rious branches, the classics, algebraic cal
culations, and the demonstration of geomet-
rical problems. $500
1t must have been forcbly apparent 10
every one present (and the house was rum
ming over) that this examination was no
'c1h and dried' farce, In which the scholars,
like horses in a mill, had been merely taught
TO Ego the round" of questions and an
swers-but a thorough investigation of the
attainments of each and every scholar, in
the several studies pursued. As each class
came forward for an inquiry into their ac-
questions, by the Committee of Examna-
ton, (Which was composed of Messrs. j.
SALToTsTALL, J. T. CLEVELAND, A. Proc
TOR, c. MARMADuKE, and o. Sw1SSEY. J
Mr.. MILLER explicitly stated ii as his wish
that the examination should be thorough.
las much with the view of ascertaining
irhat the scholars did not knop, as what then
did knOU."
As far as l could judge the examination
by the committee was very rigid and at its
close every member of that committee sepa
rately expressed himself perfectly satisfied
that Mr.. MILLrn's course Of instruction
was thorough, and that the acquisitions Of
the scholars, as far as they had progressed
in their several studies, were far ahead OF
schools generally -that the untiring assidu-
ity, and systematic method Of Mr.. NJ, in
imparting knowledge, was, as far as they had
investigated, unparalleled in the results, and
that the good order and propriety with
which the Academy is conducted, must re-
dound to the prosperity of the institution

tees views as expressed.
In the hope that such seminaries of learn
ing may increase throughout our State,
