Our Road Again.


The prospects are now very flattering in
relation to the speedy completion of our
railroad, and the prospect for passenger
train of cars from the East. 1t is now
generally believed that the cars can come
in here from Pittsburgh and Bucyrus by
the last of next week, when we expect to
: have good time. As the saying is, we
will be connected with the world and
rest of mankind" by steam. and soon there
after, we hope by lightning. This will
be grand acquisition to our young and
rapidly growing town. 1t must give a
new incentive to business and business
men; and in all probability, will bring US
a great many new energetic men to do
business in our midst. These we need.
Wemay presume too much upon this
road, but still, we feel confident that the
speedy transition of Wheat, Corn, Oats,
goods and every other article, as well as
ourselves will enable us to put on an en-
'tirely new appearance, in all worldly mat
tsrs, if not spiritually. Railroads have
builtup other towns, and why not Upper
Sandusky? Already we see change in
this town. The people are becomming
more energetic, and more tastey in the
arrangement of their buildings, and our
streets begin to present business aspect,
If the work is kept up for short time
longer, our principle sidewalks will soon
be paved with good brick, and then we can
pass to an fro without getting in mud up
to our knees, as in former times.
Our town will most likely improve from
this out, with railroad speed. Everything
is looking up in and about our town, and
why not? We have one of the most de-
Eghtful locations for place, that can be
produced; and with railroads and tele-
graphs, we can and will expect to grow up
in business, beauty and otherwise.

The ARMY.-The Washington cores
pondent of the North American says:
1t is understood now that Secretary Da-
Wis will ask Congress for some additional
military force-perhaps three regiments,
of 800 men each. The necessity for this
enlargement of the peace establishment
has become so great, in consequence of
our greatly increased frontier, that it is
impossible longer to resist it.

SHOCKING OccURRANcE.--Mrs. Ward,
respectable woman living in Ashley

then awoke her husband, telling him what
she had done and why she had done it.

A Counterfeit Joke.

A Capital joke repeated by the editor
of the Memphis Eagle of his business
partner" Dan Rice had remitted to him,
among other sums, two dollar bill which
he returned, informing him it was counter
felt, and requesting him to "send an
other" Itwas some time before he heard
from Dan again, but an epistle came at last,
and an apology for the delay, as Dan had
found some difficulty in procuring ''aaother
counterfeit two dollar BILL"

~ Another Comet was discovered on
the evening of the 25th ult., by DR.. Rob
ert Van Arsdal, of Newark, n j., in
the constellation Of Cassiopea, which is
nearly in the zenith The Aduertiser says
it is of small, round bright appearance,
with an exceedingly rapid motion in di-

sun. After only a short observation it
changed its place very perceptibly. No
record of this heavenly visitor is known to

@ The San Francisco Times and
Transcript says of the land titles in Cali
forLiia, that the accounts which 90 forth
tomorrow, will possess one feature of par
amount interest to the people of the other
States of the Union, and especially con-
cerning those who have any disposition to
seek home on the Pacific. In the pros
pective settlement upon sound and salts
factory basis of Land Titles in California,
we may anticipate a potent impulse to
emigration hitherward from every quarter
of the Union. There is now, in view of
the concurrent judgment of the Commits
sioners and U. S. District Court, no lon
ger any reasonable doubt but that two
thirds of the land claimed under actual or
pretended grants from the Mexican or
Spanish Government, will be declared to
be public domain. The transcript of the
P. B. Reading case, decided by Judge
Hoffman adversely to the United States,
will go forward Immediately to the Su-
preme Court at Washington, SO that tri-
bunal may reach it early in the winter, and
a final adjudication be obtained which will
probably encompass the material points of
all the cases which may afterwards be ap-
pealed by either party.

WOmen,S Appeal,

At the meeting of the Women's State
Temperance Society, at Dayton, on the
2Ist September, 1853, the following per-
sons were appointed to "prepare an ap-
peal for the more extended and effective
cooperation of women in the temperance
cause" Josephine S. Grifing, NJ. E. Peck,
J. G. Bateham and Mary B. Birdsall l.
We have not room at present to give the
whole OF the address sent outby these la
dies, but will give the closing paragraphs,
which contain all the sentiment:
"Let no time be lost. Keep bright the
fires on your own hearthstones. See that
your children and youth have proper and
healthful mental excitement and amuse-
ment, that shall develope the higher and
parer element of their natures and thus
close every avenue to animal dissipation.
Cultivate their tastes and prepare their
hearts to chose the lecture room, the mus
ical concert, and the religious meeting,
before the vile haunts of gaming and
drunkness.
Circulate tracts denouncing the liquor
traffic, portraying its fearful results, and
insisting upon high-toned moral action
and prohibitory law Aim to enlist the
energies of all your female friends in this
good work, and be yourselves consistent;
attend no parties where wine is offered
the guests, nor suffer any to do it, over
whom you have rightful authority, or
can exert an influence. Associate freely
with none who manufacture, buy, sell or
use alcoholic and intoxicating LIQUORS:
trade with no merchants who deal in the
article; exert your influence to prevent
the use of adulterated wines in the Sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper; and in all
cases, ss far as possible, let precept and
example go hand in hand. Let ali feel at
liberty to complain of the disproportion-
ate suiferings Of our sex from curse in
which we are comparatively free from the
guilt, and to insist upon redress by pro-
hibitory law, to which we are entitled, and
the demand for which we are bound to
create in the hearts of the people.
Finally, as you regard your high desti-
ny, as you love your husband and son, as
your sympathy is moved for that beg
CARED, outcast wife and mother, in all her
wrecked inglorious loveliness, as you pity
her suffering children, driven out to shiv-
er in the wintry blasts, and subsist upon
the worlds cold charities, as you weep
over the once bright gem of your own fire.

The Gait.

One may judge of the spirit and dispo-
sitlon of man by his ordinary gait and
mein in walking. He who habitually pur-
sues abstract thoughts, looks down on the
ground. He whois accustomed to sudden
or is trying to seize upon some
necessary recollection, looks up with kind
of jerk He who is steady, cautious,
merely practical man, walks on deliber-
ately, his eyes straight before him; and
even in the most musing moods, observes
things around sufficiently to avoid a por-
ter's knot or a butchers tray. But the
man that ganglious-of pushing lively
temperament, who though practical, is yet
man who is emulous and
active, and ever trying to rise in life--san-
guine, alert bold-walks with spring,
looks rather above the heads of his fellow
passengers, but with quick easy turn of
his own, which is lightly set on his shoul-
ders; his mouth is little open; his eye is
bright, rather restless, but penetrative;
his port has something of defiance; is
erect, but without stiffness.

MOMENTS OF MELoDY.-I remember the
margin of stream, in one of those low,
sheltered vallies on Salisbury plain, where
the monks at former ages had planted
chapels and built hermit's cell. There
was parish church near, but tall elms
and quivering alders hid it from the sight,
when all on sudden, I was startled by
the sound of the full organ pealing on my
ear, accompanied by rustic voices, and
the willing choir of village maids and
children. It rose, indeed, ''like an exhaia-
ton of rich distilled perfumes The dew
from a thousand pastures was gathered
in its softness; the silence of thousand
years spoke in it. It came upon the heart
like the calm beauty of death; fancy
caught the sound, and faith mounted on
it to the skies. 1t filled the valley like a
mist, and still poured out its endless chant
and it swells upon the ear, and wraps me
in golden trance, drowning the noisy tu-
multi of the world ld-HazlH.

The Late Foreign News.

The London correspondent of the 7ri
6atne makes the following comments upor
the late news from the Danube:
! The Greeks and Montenegrins are anx
iously watching the course of events, ii
order to fall upon the Turks in case of 6
Russian victory 1t is said that the plar
of raising loan of five millions drachmas
equal to $500, ,000-submitted by the
Greek Government to the Chambers un
der the plea of supplying cheaper corn tc
the population, has no other object than to
prepare for the eventuality of an aggres-
sive waragainst Turkey. Secret societies.
allotted by Russia, are formed in Greece
and Thessaly with affiliations extending tc
London and Manchester, and about 8 lO0,-
600 have been raised by this snew Heteria
to further this plan. Button the other side,
the Tenna papers state that England,
which has lately reinforced the garrison Of
the Ionian islands, has pledged herself to
the Sultan that Greece shall keep perfect
neutrality.
Curious news have reached US from In
dia. The Russians are said to be march
ing against Khiva and Bokhara, The
Times derides the idea of Russia's threaten
ing the Indian possessions of England, but
the leading paper seems really to have
forgotten that Russian steamers have been
actually launched on the Lake of Arael,
and that the OxuS and Iaxartes are navi-
gable, and afford means of conveyance
for an army into the heart Of Independ-
ent Tartary. There cannot be any doubt
thatit is the spreading revolution in China
which induces Russia to exert her forces
in that direction. Khokan, Tashkend.
Thibet, and many other provinces and
realms of Central Asia, have been until
now under the nominal sway of the En-
peror Of China, he being the mightest
Tartar sovereign and protesting Buddhism.
The Chimes insurgents cannot attempt to
extend their conquest over those distant
regions, Inhabited by different race, and
protesting religion which is an abomina-
ton to the victorious rebels.
Those States of Central \ sia will, there
fore, become independent; but, accus-
toned to acknowledge mighty suzerain
they will readily attach themselves either
to the influence of Russia or to that of
British India The Car, therefore, is
anxious to be on hand for such an emer-
gency, and to appear in their neighbor-
hood as the conqueror of the Mussuimans,
who are equally hated by the Buddhists
and the Mucovites. 1t is likewise said
that Russia is anxious topocket Manchou-
ria, the great northern Tartar province of
China, beyond the limits of the old en-
pire, which is wanted by the Amur, since
it is not probable that the Chinese will ex
tend their sway into countries not inhabi-
ted by the Chinese race The fleet which
has lately been reported as likely to coop
crate with the American Japan expedi-
ton, has no other destination than the con-
quest of the months of the Amur, as
soon as Pekin is taken by Tae-P Pin Wang's
army.
