To the Editor of the "Timesn

. the EultOr OF TIC llHleS
SIR: Il find the following in the Detroit
Tribune, of the 2Sth ult.:
"THE RAILROAD CELEBRATIoN.-The Inquirer
Of this morning says that the bills being got to-
gether it appears that the city Treasury is called
upon to stand draft of four thousand and seven
hundred dollars, on account of the Inequalities
furnished to visitors, and for the banquet at the
late celebration.
"'This seems like a large sum, but like occa-
sion will not occur again, until the Oakland and
Ottawa is opened and then we can afford TO let
out q Hnh-dU ercept tho champagne"
Now, Sir, you man of the Tribune, will please
take notice, that on the completion of the o. and
o. Railroad the barbecue of that occasion will
be served to the assembled thousands, at this
end of the route, by your humble servant with
out cost to any village, city, or State treasury.
The feast will be served in an evergreen bower,
already built in the pure air Of lake Michigan,
and under the dome, not of any railroad build
ings, but Of that blue ethereal vault that can
not be beat by human ingenuity, in beauty of
workmanship, without sham or any other kind
of PAIN and upon pure Maine Law principles.
This feast shall be served of material from the
four principal quarters of mother earth, and
shall be adorned with Gods best gift to man
woman. BE pleased to accept an early invita-
ton for your lady and SELF

~" The foreign news, some items Of which
are to be found under The telegraphic head,
possesses much interest. Confidence was, to
some extent, entertained in speedy restoration
of peace, but with how much reason we are I'M
able to Judge. The price of breadstuffs had
declined, since the 10th ult., up to which time
it had been rapidly advancing We have not
learned as to what has been the effect of the intel
ligence upon prices in this country. On the day
the Asia arrived at New York, flour was retail
ed, in Detroit, at $3.50. The effects of the war
are not unfet at this distance. The course of
European events will be closely watched by
western producers.

~ The Michigan Argus has taken step
forward, and now ranks among the largest pa
pers in Michigan. During the last few months
we have noticed a more than usually large num-
Der of similar indications Of prosperity among
our contemporaries within the State. Our peo-
pie, as they progress in wealth, do not forget
the printer.

copy Of Mr.. HIGHAM's report on the (" Descrip-
ton, character, cost, location, and prospects Of
the Oakland and Ottawa Railroad" Before re-
ceiving it we had put in type series of extracts,
made by the Ionia Gazette which embodies the
most interesting particulars contained in the re-
port, and to which we call the attention Of our

FAMOUS BUT HUNGRY.-It is said that Martin
Koszta, who was rescued from the clutches of
the Austrian police by the intrepidity of Com.
Ingraham, is in New York in state of utter des-
titution. The Herald states that he has applied
through friend for a little clerkship in that es-
tabishment worth five dollars a week. After
all the glory that has been made out Of poor
Koszta by politicians, it would be pity to let
him starve. He has had honor and popularity
enough but he can't live on that. His position
just now, is not unlike that Of halfstarved au-
thor, famous, but uncomfortable. In the mean
time some man who doesn't NEEDLE in politics,
who never attended a primary meeting, and who
has no political fish to fry on the National grid
iron will probably help the unfortunate exile
out of his difficulties. Det Times.

A Banner for the Ladies of Erie---yyho will
present Ii


FRIENDS OF THE TIMES while perusing
a very excellent article, from the Pittsburg Ga
aette, to-day, the subject matter of which was the
men Of Erie placing their wives and daughters
in the foreground and secretly encouraging them
on to carry out course of action, commenced
by them, touching the Railroads, which they
themselves dare not further pursue, reminded
me of an incident will relate; and through the
columns of your paper will present the closing
sentence to the ladies of Erie, as an inscrip-
ton for their banner.
Every one that knows, by experience, what is
termed an old fashioned Yankee WINTER
know full well the trouble and perplexty of
travelling after deep snow, before there was a
sufficient amount of turnouts" to accommo-
date when two teams met. Well, it was one
of those times that q professed gallant was
seated between two ladies', on ride for pleas
ure, and give an exhibition Of his gallantry.
Sleigh after sleigh was met, and passed with
difficulty, sometimes by treading path around
for that purpose. At length they deserted a
"a double team" "Now," says our beaux, " |
will get out of sight and they will turn out for
you" Suiting the action to the word, he slip
ped under the buffalo robe. The teams met and
stopped. One of the ladies partially rose from
her seat and exclaimed:
DO, for mercys sake, get out Of Ae aoay for
zoe hare not The soul of a man about us"

LIQUOR LAw.--At the time of going to press
we have received no confirmation of the report
that the Liquor Law has been decided constitu.
tional. On the contrary, second report came,
Monday evening, to the effect that the Supreme
Court were unable to come to decision, four
being for, and four against the law. We have
received no papers of sufficiently late date to
contain any information on the subject, but the
last report came in way that strongly entities
it to credit.

The LOWER CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION.-At
last advices the war was not over; nevertheless,
the handful of invaders maintained possession
Of their new seat Of government, without aid
from any quarter, and upon the arrival of the
200 auxiliaries who left San Francisco on the
night of the 18th ult, would most likely be able
to enlarge their area of freedom, and bid defiance
to any opposition that could be brought against
them for some time to come. The brief de-
scription of the various battles and skirmishos
in which they have been engaged are quite in
teresting Capt. Walker was still President of
the Republic of Lower California, and by this
time he and his comrades may have annexed the
territory of Sonora.
