Another Railroad 10 the Mississippi by the First
ofJanuary.

1t gives US great pleasure to state that Chi
cago will have another railroad to the Mis-
sissippi by the first of January. We learn
from James F. JOY esq.,, Presilelt of the
Aurora Railroad, that the Central Military
Tract, which is simply an extension of the
Aurorn road, will be done to Galcsburg in
Knox county, probably, by the first and
certainly by the 9Th of December. The
cars are now running within few miles Of
that place, and as soon as completed pas
senger train will be put on the line and we
shall be in daily railroad communication
with one of the most fertile and most beauti-
full portions of the State.
Still more. Arrangements have been made
by which that portion of the Peoria and
Oquawka Railroad west Of Galesburg will be
completed by or before the first of January.
The iron for the remainder of the track is go
ing forward by the Rock Island Railroad and
thence to Burlington by steamer. The road
is finished and trains are now running to
Monmouth, e miles east of Burlington,
leaving only some xteen or eighteen miles
of track to lay to finish the road to Gales
burg. After the fifth of December, parties
of track layers will be put on at each end of
the unfinished tra,k and the road will be
completed with all possible disp itch.
The business which these roads will bring
to Chicago would alone be sufficient to sus-
tain very respectable city. They run
through one of the finest portions of the Mis-
tisslppi valley.
That part Of Iowa which lies west ef Bur-
lington is th;ckly settled and is exceedingly
productive, and taken together they cannot
fail to. BE- among the best paying and in all
respects the most important roads leading
into Chicago. Success to it.-lChicago

q The year which Is now drawing to
close has been one Of calamity and distress
throughout the world. Disease and death
famine and the sword, have found many VIC
Tins. Internal wars and Revolution in the
East-all Europe, or nearly so, involved in
bloody contest, which seems but just begun
while our Western world has been visited
BY drouth Of unexampled extent and dura-
tion, cutting short the hopes of agriculture,
and - q consequence, prostrating trade and
commerce. Although we have had no famine,
much distress and suffering has been felt
Thousands are unemployed, and that, too, at
. time when subsistence is very high.
The ocean, too, has had Its victims-has
swallowed up its hecatombs. The old and
and the young-the statesman, the merchant,
the emigrant, all have gone down in one
common death, and are
"In the deep bosom Of the ocean buried!"
Not to be out done, the navigators upon
our rivers and lakes have furnished their
quota. Our Rail Roads, too, have murdered
and MANNED their hundreds.
The sound of the forge, the anvil. and the
loom has been stlled in many places. Large
has been the number of those out of employ
ment. Numbers have lost their all by bank
suspensions and bank failures, while subsis-
tenoe is very high. How many are at this

4 Practical view.

The Observation-Disclosures is now strongly
attracted to this strange people str lnge in
the monstrous absurditv Of their faith, in
the terrible vic ssitudes Of their history, in
their present unass;nable isolation, and in
their wonderful prosperity. They have found
a country miraculously like that of the Old
Israelites, with its Dead Sci, its Lake Of
Liberals its connecting River Of Jordan, its
terrible deserts, it, Wild mountains, and its
valleys flowing with milk and honey. They
have reclaimed this seemingly lmpracticable
wilderness, and made it to teen with all the
best products of agriculture. They have
built cities and established civilization after
their fashion in region which. &C ;ordng to
the common Anglo-Saxon mode Of valuing
land, was absolutely uninhabitable. Their
agriculture depends altogether on artificial
| irrigation.
Lii they had not done any thing worse than
this, politics, it is TO be hoped, would not
have troubled its crotchety heal with them.
But they are polygamists, and practically
they suffer none but Mormons to settle in
their country; and, finally their government

These people now number some forty or fifty
thousand, and are rapidly augmeating. 1t

! for wspaper comment. What is to he
done with item? l, race of. poygamist !,
who are nfcssedly under absolute rule OF
divinely appointed priests, to be admitted as
a republican State into this confederacy!
The question is sufficiently curious; but
there are some elements Of it that b I'VE not
been properly estimated. We very much
doubt, in the first place, whether the Nor
mons desire to be admitted as Il State il to
the Union. All that we have seen of their
developments Indicate that they look upon
themselves as peculiar and Independent,
com nunity. They have exclusive poss ssion
of vast tract of country. and they alone.
apparently mike it the fruitful abode OF
man. They are separated by immense noun
tain regions from the rest of the world, both
on the east and on The west. They are Il
people trained to arms and to implc ODE.
dience. They cln raise in Il month m armed
force greater than the entire army of thu
United States.
Looking ut the matter then in mora
point of view, 1t seems to us that the Nor.
mons have acquired the right to possess thai
region which they alone have shown the ca
pacity to make valuable; and il they can
not enjoy the possession in common with thu
United States, that they have the right to en-
Joy it by themselves. And, in military
point Of view, it seems to us that they have
every chance Of maintaining their poss assion
against all com"rs. Why should they bt

likely to get the worst Of it.-[Charlestor
