THE PERRYsBURG JOURNAL.

We have been so fortunate, says MIR. Gu
nard, of the English line of steamers, as to
carry about 100000 passengers across the
Atlantic, distance of 1000 miles, without
injury to one of them.
True, and the fact affords text for much
longer sermon than we have time to write
to-day. The English are proverbially much
more careful of life on their public convey
ances than we are. Her railroads and steam
boats are more thoroughly built, and care
fully watched. Where safety is necessary,
time and speed are sacrificed to it. Instead
of pushing on in dense fog, at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour, the Cunard steamers
would run slow, and keep wide of the shores.
Her travellers expect this, and do not com
plain, it, by it few hours of time are lost.
But an American company of passengers
would, as general rule, prefer the risk OF
The Arctcs fate, to the loss of ten hours in
the time of arrival at New York or Liverpool
The difference in character accounts for the
different results o. S. Journal.

OFThe Missourians, who went over to
Kanzas to elect delegate to congress, were
so well pleased with the result of their la
bors, that they held meeting at Leaven-
worth and requested Gov. Reeder to issue a
call for an election of members of the legis-
lature. This he declines to do, and hints to
them that they had better attend to their
OWE affairs at home, as the people of Kan
zas have an idea that they are capable of ta-
king care of themselves.

GRAHAMs MAGAzINE.-We have for some
days neglected to notice the receipt of Gra-
HAMS Magazine for the current month, being
the close of the volume. We have had fire.
quent occasion to notice during the past year
the steady improvement in this favorite
monthly. 1t justly ranks among the very
best periodicals of the day, and the publish
ers promise in the forthcoming volume val
liable additions to the brilliant array of tai
ent which has hitherto enriched its pages
The typographical execution of the work is
excellent, its engravings superb, and it is in
all respects valuable repertory of agreeable
and entertaining reading.

In the apportionment of the counclmen
and epresentatives, we feel little disap-
pointed. We have it from good authority
that the south side of the Platte will have
the preponderance in the territorial legisla
ture, viz: seven councImen and fourteen
representatives., whilst the north will have
hut six councimen and twelve representa-.
!ives, giving our friends south of the Platte,
in conjunction with separate Belleview
precinct, decided advantage. Rock Bot.

Gg~Our town is thronged with wagons
loaded with produce, and especially pork.
We imagine the merchants find it difficult
to get money to pay for what arrives. For

so "hard up" since we have lived here,
The times are emphatically hard.
