OFFICE NORTH Mo. R. r. Co., }
St. Louis, September %, 1854.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
this Company, held on the 18th of Septem-
ber, the following reports was received and
adopted, viz:
The committee TO whom was referred the
communication of the President of the Fort
Msdison, Keosauqua and Bloomfield Rail-
road Company, having given the same due
consideration, report:
That in their opinion it is the interest of
the North Missouri Railroad Company to
extend said road into the State of Iowa in
the direction of Fort Desmoines, at the ear
liest practicable period.
That they have ascertaincd from reliable
sources, that the Fort Madison, Keosauqua
and Bloomfield Railroad will prove, when
completed, most valuable auxiliary 10 the
North Missouri Railroad; located, as it is,
through the richest and most populous por-
tionS Of Iowa, 10 Bloomfield, in Davis coun-
ty, and looking ultimately to a connection
with the Missouri river, through the South
ern tier of counties in Iowa.
That the Eastern terminus of the road be-
ing at Fort Madison, one of the most pros
porous and enterprising towns on the Up
per Mississippi, and being above the Rapids
of that river, and at one of the best crossings
of the same, it will furnish, in connection
with the North Missouri Railroad, more
reliable, certain, and speedy mode of COM
munication between the Southern portion of
Iowa and St. Louis, than the Mississippi
river.
That the large amount Of public and pri-
vato subscri ptions along the route of the
Fort Madison Railroad, the character OF the
country, and population through which the
road will pass, and the energy with which
its construction is being pressed, renders
the ultimate completion of the same GER
tain.
The committee, therefore, i'll view Of the
foregoing, recommend the adoption Of the
following resolutions:
/. That it is the interest and intention Of
the North Missouri Railroad Company to
extend their road into Iowa, in the direction
of Fort Des Moines, at as early day as
practicable.
2. That the construction OF the Fort Mad
ison Railroad, would be greatly beneficial
to and prove a valuable auxiliary to the
North Missouri Railroad Extension into
Iowa.
3. That the rich and populous country
through which the Fort Madison, Keosau-
qua and Bloomfield Railroad is located, the
lively interest exhibited in its construction
by the people of Southern Iowa, the pro-
gress it has already made, will secure its
completion, we have no doubt, at present,
to Bloomfield, and ultimately to the Missou-
ri river, and will, when finished, constitute
one among the best paying roads in the West
and as such, is cordially commended to TIE
attention of all who feel an interest in West
ern Railroads.
4. That the North Missouri Railroad
Company are disposed to render any aid in
its power to the Fort Madison, Keosauqua
and Bloomfield Railroad, to assist in its
early completion. Attest:

The PEsrGLEyCE AT SAvANNAu.-Aw-
ful as were the ravagcs Of the yellow fever
last summer at New Orleans, we never read
anything so horrifyiHg as the incidents Of
the same pestlence this season, in the i'll
fated city of Savannah. Contributions, we
are glad to see, are pouring in for the re-
lief of the sick and distressed, from all quar-
ters. This is as it should be, and we hope
there will be no relaxation in the good work
until we have the happy assurance that the
scourge has abated- blessing we are sor-
ry to say, that is not yet our privilege to
proclaim. There are nurses wanted, and
physicians, as well as money. Volunteer,
were never more pressingly needed in a
better cause. The Clergy of Savannah, too,
we see, have had their ranks thinned by the
scourge, and such of them as have not fall
len prey to the destroyer, we can easily
understand, are so disabled as 10 be, in a
great degree, unfit for the discharge of their
noble work, Such field rs that, which
such death-stricken city now presents, for
doing good is one that ought to be coveted,
not run away from, by real Christians, who
live not for this life, but for that which is
TO come.

And she sits on a sapphire throne,
Whilst the sweet winds load her

And step both strong and free;
And voice for wonder,

From the Evening News.
Commendable Heterodoxy,


Gov. McMurtry, Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Fourth District of Illi-
nois, is unwilling TO stand still upon party
| platforms, swallow party tests and pull
steadily and docilely in party harness. De-
mocracy are usually well trained, going and
coming when and where they are comman-
ded. But Gov. McMurtry, though adhere
ing still to Democracy in general, rejects
some fthe elementary details thereof. On
the occasion Of a speech delivered by him
a few days ago, he gave his hearers to un-
derstand that he did not approve of the Pres
ident's view of the River and Harbor Bill.
We take the following from the Chicago
Press, which explains Gov NcMmtry's
position:
Gle said, also, that there was one great
measure upon which he would probably diff
fer from many Democrats: that was the Riv-
er and Harbor Bill; that President Pierce
had left the Democratic party in respect to
this bill, in "bad fix"-had vetoed it, but
had not vet given his reasons for dong so.
He said lie was in favor Of the General Gov
ernment appropriating money for improve
ment Of Western Rivers, and could not con-
ceive what sort Of logic it would be that
would prohibit the Government from max
ing such appropriations. He said he differ
ed from Mr.. Pierce and Douglas on this
measure"
! We can without violence to cur own feel
ings, or principles, wish that Mr.. McMur-
! try's race may be successful, because we be.
licve him sound on that question which, 0!
all others, is of the greatest importance to
/ the West. Let the Nebraska bill and all
other bills and issues be tossed aside as so
much useless rubbish. and let the question
Of appropriations for improving Western
, I1arbors and Rivers, be the sole issue. on
one side or the other Of which all candidates
shall be made 10 array themselves. Let us
see how many Democrats there are who oc-
cupy the same grounds as Mr.. NcMurtry.
Il is time for the West to take this measure
in hand, and task all its mighty powers to
compass it, triumph. We cannot expect
Eastern Democrats to pronounce in favor of
the scheme, until they are forced TO do so.
As general thing, they "know 10 West, I"
or at least they know so little about it, as to
be ignorant of its wants, and deaf to its
claims. The South unites, 10 a man, to car
ry any measure of vital interest 10 her in.
stitutions; SO does the North. Why, then,
should not the West prove truc 70 horself?
Let all other minor issues be swallowed NJ
in this one and let us make systematic,
united, and persistent effort for the success
of the measure. and success will assuredly
be the result. Let us demand a declaration
in favor Of River and Harbor improvements
Of the next Presidential candidates, and re-
fuse our support to him who demurs. If
we do this, in three years-aye, in less time
we will have an appropriation granted, and
what is more, the constitutinnaity of the
principle acknowledged, which will secure
similar grants in future. What says the
West? Shall we not unite? 1856 is close
nt hand.

B@Thc Vicksburg Whig takes the lol-
lowing view Of the recent "higher law
decisions of Judge Benning, of the Supreme
Court Of Georgia :
"The decision of Judge Benning--a
States Rights Judge - Of the Supreme
Court, is attracting much attention. 1t i,
in substance as follows:
That the Supreme Court Of Georgia 10
co-equal and co-cydnate with the Supreme
Court Of the United States. and not inferior
and subordinate to that court that as -
the reserved powers the State Court is Su-
preme that a> TO powers both delegated
and reserved, concurrent powers, both
courts, in the language of Hamilton, are
equally Supreme and that as q consequence
the Supreme Court o! the United States
has TO jurisdiction over the Supreme Court
OF Georgia and cannot, therefore, give il an
order, or make for il precedent
Ii this decision he correct, and insisted
on by the South, how are we to avoid the
decision of the Supreme Court OF Wiscon-
sin, which declares the Fugitive Slave Law
unconstitutional and its provisions null and
void in the States ? The people OF the
South had better scan well the vagaries Of
their own ultra politicians before they com
init themselves to doctrines and ultraisms =,
the result Of which they justly condemn in
the northern fanatics and ultras."
