MARRIED AT Forty MILES AN Hour Mr.
Wait Arnold and Mary Bazee wanted to get
married, and it is probable papa and mamma
were unwilling, or else Massachusetts, laws
were not in the congenial mood; and Wait
being unwilling, or Wait, and Mary being
willing to 60, they took the Boston express
train for A bany, expressly for the purpose
of leaving the Commonwealth of Massacbu-
setls where they could not make theirs a COM
mon cause, for more coDgenial soil and
cline. This it seems they found as soon as
the train crossed the New York State line,
for then they stood up before holy man, the
Rev. Mr.. Shaw, and he babe them take each
other by the right hand and promise to love
and cherish each other as long as they lived,
and then he pronounced the m man and wife
the train still going at the rate OF forty
miles an hour, making it very difficult mat.
ter we should think for this couple to tell
their children where they were married,
though there is no dispute about their
being fast married. The pair turned back
at the next station-their journey of sim
gle life was done-ther. wedding tour finished
their joint voyage upon the sea Of matri-
mo.iy be Iun-tbey had crossed the line and
tied the knot-a running moose. We hope it
will never slip, nor require untying; if it does
We are sure the parts will not come over TO

for in that line we offer no facilities.

RAID GROWTH OF THR WGsT.-The Chi
cago Tribune, speaking of the rapid develop
ment CT those elements of prosperity possess
ed by the "Great West" says:
The West is still in its infancy. 1t has
not yet passed out of it's teens. Nineteen
years ago there were less than five thousand
white inhabitants in all the vast region oil
beautiful country lying between Lake Mchi-
gan and the Pacific Ocean! Now the mum.
er is between one and two mllions!
Twelve years ago Chicago contained a
population of 5000. Now is has over co.,
COO.
Twelve years ago eight or twelve days
passage between Chicago and New York
was considered quick time in the must favor
able season. Now two days is the average
and it is 10 be reduced TO but three hours more
than one day!
Six years ago Chicago had not single
foot of railroad completed, and only one il
contemplation. Now it has 3S2 miles com
peted in the limits of the State alone, ant
over 1000 in process o, constructions!
Fifteen years ago the people Of Chicago
bought large part of their brsads'uis an,
provisions from the States Of New York
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Now there is ex
ported from this city each year 100000
bushels Of gram and 100000 barrels of bee
and pork.

not word to say about errors in markets, the

of poetry at Us, and dark nsinuations of our
being fond of Islander and abuse-a charge
which every Locofoco editor who ever pop
ped up, lived and died in Evansville, made
with his first and last breath, yet which no.
body ever believed. Can't the ENQUIRER
spring some other question! 1t has been
very unfortunate lately in its discussions, and
the Democracy here appear 10 be losing al
confidence in their own principles or meas
ures, SO miserably are they defended by thei
organ.

Enunirer Deceiyinr It's Headers.

The Journal thinks tibet Illinois will not
support Douglas in the Nebraska MEASURE.
Let it not uselesslv deceive its readers. The
following resolutions have passed the Senate
OF Illinois, we believe, and no one doubts their
passage in the House. Illinois. yes, and In.
diana, too, is safe:
Resolved, by the Senate Of the State of Hi
nois, That the bill to form the Nebraska and
Kansas territories, as presented and advocat-
ed by our distinguished Senator, Douglas, at
the present Congress, meets with our appro-
balion.
RESOLVED, That we believe the best inter-
ests of the Union demand the passage OF said
bill.
Resolved, That we call upon all Union men
throughout the State to support the said bill.
Resolved, That we will sustain Judge Doug
las against all abolitonlsts and free-soilers,
60 far as the provisions of his bill are concern
ed Enquirer.
The Journal will not deceive its readers in
this matter, nor will it allow the Enquirer to
deceive its readers, by publishing the above
resolutions which it processes to "belieus''
has passed the Senate of Illinois. Now we
undertake to say that no such resolutions
have ever passed the Senate Of Illinois, and
moreover, no such resolutions were ever offer
ed in that body.
/ We have before us the proceedings of the
Illinois Senate uron that subject entire
That body has now two sets of resolutions
before it, one series favoriug Douglas and
the Nebraska bill, and recommending their
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
to support both. The resolutions are neith-
er in language nor sentiment like the above.
The last proceedings had on them, the NOV
ers were seeking postponement of action
thereon to prevent their being voted down.
). The opponents of the resolutions insisted
upon vote. and opposed further postpone
ment. During the discussion, series of re-
solutions was introduced as a substitute, en-
dorsing both Compromises. and expressing
the unqualified condemnation and opposi-
ton of the General Assembly to the Nebras-
ka BILL" Both the original resolutions and
the substitute were postponed and made the
special order of the day for Monday, the 9th
of February. Subsequently the Senate adj
journed to visit Chicago in body. The re-
cent meetings in that city, and the popular
outburst of disgust, mantle sted for Douglas
and the Nebraska fraud, is doubtless fair
indication of popular sentiment in Illinois.
We can say, in the language of our neigh,or,
illinois, yes, and Indiana too, is safe.

DeliYcrY of Mails.

1t appears one vexel question connected
with the delivery ofriver mails here has been
settled at last. A letter from Hon. Smith
Miller TO our Postmaster says Dir. Harring-
ton, mail agent here, has been instructed to
receive mails at any point within the corpo-
ration at which mailboats choose TO deliver
them. Thus the mail agency is confined to
no particular wharf-boat, and our mail agent
is compelled to receive the mails wherever
boats put them of. There has been great
deal of trouble occasioned by differences of
opinion on this point between mail agents
here and the agents and officers on boats
We decline Offering any opinion as to the
justice Of this decision, but feel glad to hear
decision has been made. by which disputes
may be stopped.

OF The progress ofthe British steam navy
is wonderful. England possesses more
marine steam power in her royal navy than
all the steam fiepts of the world combined
could furnish. A few years since England
possessed only some $4,000 horse power; but
on the lst Of January, 1854. the British navy
included no less than 2O3 steam vessels of all
classes; whilst the nominal steam power of
machinery in those ships represented mora
more than that OF $4,000 horses, with re.
serve Of 2 800 horse power available for other
royal ships.
