ASTrNEBRAsKA.-A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, one Of the excursonists
on the great Railroad Celebration tripup the
Mississippi, thus speaks ofthe feeling among
the crowd of distinguished persons who made

Democrats, all united on this platform
Francis z. Blair, of the Washington @ lobe,
during Gen. Jackson's administration, and
his son, the accomplished editor of the Ben
ton Organ at St. Louis, are among he FORE
most opponents of the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise. The elder Blair is strong for a
union of men of all parties, who are opposed
to the extension OF slavery, and for build ne
the Pacific railway, ard for other great
Western and commercial interests in the
next Presidential election. lie is for unit
ing upon Col. Benton, and for running him
as an independent candidate.

Straight Line Railroad!

In our country and especially in our town,
there is deal of excitement in regard to the
location oil the Evansville, and Indianapolis
Straight Line Railroad. According to a let
ter from President Smith, the road is located
some distance from town, and, OF course, all
our citizens have and feel an interest where
it is 10 be located, aud all persons believe il
should come through town. To come through
Washington the road will be enc mile Ion
ger, according to President Smiths letter;)
but with all this, and considering the amount
of conditional stock taken, We cannot see a
reason why it will leave this place.
There will never be a Depot for the Ohio
and Mississippi road. at the crossing of the
Straight Line road, unless such crossing is
at this place, and the crossing will not even
be a stopping place for the cars on the Ohio
and Mississippi road, if the Straight Line
road leaves Washington. Our citizens have
a pledge 10 this effect
The trade from Washington to Evansville
amounts to over $4,000 per year, and with
the road to this point would treble at least, in
very short period. And the object of the
Straight Line road is to secure the White
River Valley trade to the city OF Evansville;
but unless the road passes through our town.
our merchants and other business men will
go TO st. Louis and Paducah with their pro-
duce, &C., and to purchase goods, and the
Valley trade will not go to Evansville. The
track on the Vincennes and Paducah road
will have the six foot guage-the same as the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, and we can
load our cars here with produce, &C., and
run TO Paducah much better than we can
haul it several miles and then put il on the
Straight Line track Washington Sun.
