OuR RAILROAD AND THE CARs.-We
have been predicting and anticipating the
regular running of the cars to our town
for some time past; but now we are fully
convinced that we are neither prophet
or the son of prophet, and are entirely
in the dark as to when we will have the
train coming into town. We have con-
cluded that when the cars get along, we
will see them, SO just send them along
whenever you get ready.

The reduction of the price of our cana
lands have increased the number of acres
upon the grand duplicate and contributed
largely to the settlement of one of the
most promising regions of the State.
The area of the whole State contains
25, 576, 900 acres, of which there will be
brought on the grant duplicate for the en-
suing year, 24,811,455 acres, leaving a
balance of 765, ,5O5 acres, the greater
part of which still belong to the General
Government.
The United States continues to demand
the former prices of from 81 25 to So SO
per acre, while the State sells her lands
in the same vicinity at greatly reduced
rates. This necessarily retards the set
tlement of these lands, and prove very
serious inconvenience to the people in that
section of the State.
The General Government should at
once surrender the remainder of its lands
to the State, SO that they may go into the
hands of actual settlers, at graduated
prices, and be bought, with all the other
lands of the State, on the grand duplicate
This would be no more than just. The
whole quantity of land at first held by
the General Government in this State, as
appears from the actual surveys, was
16,77O,984 acres. The proceeds already
realized by the national treasury, amount
to nearly 100000, which is an aver
age more than S. 25 per acre, for the en-
tire quantity.
l deem the present an appropriate and
favorable time to press this matter upon

The State taxes for 1853 embrace the
School Tax, which accounts for SO great
and apparent increase.
This statement exhibits the fact, that
State the taxes have not increased SO rap,
idly as local taxes. The County, City,
Township and other municipal corpora
ton taxes constitute the greater amount
Of our assessments. The corporate au-
thorities have heretofore enjoyed an al
most unlimited power of taxation. This
arose from the want of that general at
tention which the subject has more recen-
tly attracted, and from disinclination on
the part of the General Assembly to in,
terfere with these authorities, elected as
they are by, and responsible as they arc
to their respective constituents.
Since the New Constitution, however
makes it the duty of the General AS
sembly ''to restrict their power of tax
alton, assessment, borrowing money, con
tructing debts and loaning their credit, SC
as to prevent the abuse of such power, .
l have not deemed it improper to cal
your attention to the subject. The rapid
increase and enlargement of these cor
porations in all parts of the State, render
it one of great Importance. The laws
under which they are organized should
be carefully revised, and such guards ant
restrictions imposed on the exercise of the
power referred to as may not be inconsis

OF ISAAC y. STA LEY.
They are speaking to me kindly,
Saying, that should not blindly
Give such wasting passage to my soul.

hiic my burdcncd heart is brimrul
or lis sorrow, that some plants should overflow.
Held to the dead some o,bcr
Love- than tha, of tender mother,
God assisting, | might smooth down my grief
But the storm Of my atll.clion
sail refuses all direction
Til III lansuor finds ny SOU! relief
In the words of Inspiration,
have sought Tor consolation,
Reading the Lord who givcth takes away
But the tears that blind my vision
Hide the teaching of submission
"Blessed be bis name, is hard 10 say.
Still thank thee God that gric,ing
Hmders not the full believing,
That my boys among the angels fair.
Though, meIhinks he'll soon be firing
And with fearful eyes inquirimg-
Why his mother, his fond mother, is not there
Last winter, with its blowing
It's drifting and lis showing
Without, made the hearth light more welcome
within.
Little tho't we then a fearful
Deatl would mar our circle cheerful
Ere another winter should begin.
Then our boy, the gladdest creature
IN the world, Of books aud teacher,
SIeds aud frolics in the snow would tell,
All his sober childish fancies
Serving ever 10 enhance his
Dearness to the parent hearts that loved him
well.
Erewhi!e came slumber stealing
His weary eye lids scaling
Til refreshed they'd see another morning
light.
Then I'd bear the little sleeper
PRAYING God TO be his keeper
Thro the dark and stormy winters night.
Once again the ind is blowing
And the hearth more brightly glowing,
But our souls are darker than the winters
gloom,
For one idol has departed
Sadly sit we broken-hearied,
Saying nothing, thinking ouly, OF his doom.
Midnight often finds ne weeping,
With hot tears my pillow sleeping
That miss my little loved one from my side
That this night so dark and stilly
III his grave is damp and chilly
Stilly, coldly, without breathing, lies my child
Never can cease my sohbing
While this heart keeps on its throbbing
And life fingers in this frame.
Yet I'm sure of one day meeting
With my darling and repeating
Blessings on Jehovah's name.

Death Of an Eminent Man.

The New Orleans papers announce the
death Of John X. GrymeS, esq, who was
one of The most distinguished lawyers in
the United States. His legal learning
was profound as well as various. He
was great both as counsellor and as an
advocate. Such was the confidence uni
versaIIy felt in his abilities, that few cases,
involving large interests and important
principles, occurred in the community in
which lie lived. in which he was not en-
gagged. Mr.. GGymes was a native OF VIr-
gina. He was born in Orange county,
in the year 1886. In ear y youth, he re-
moved TO New Orleans, and liked his for
tunes with those of the lhen Territory OF
Louisiana. ConfiuIug himself, through
OUT his long and lllustrlous career. to his
profession, he scarcely entered the wider
arena of politics. If, by so doing, he de-
MED himself larger frame, ,at The same
Hme, secured more agreeable repose.
This country has produced few, if any,
men OF higher gif,s and greater intellect
than John Il. Grymes.

Give the Boys a Chance.

Do you know anybody that wants to

never say no, without hearty wish that
we had something for boy To do. Poor

hope to find favorable answer, and thus

means to earn mou!hlul OF honest bread.
They move on, with ,,rooping heads. TO
repeat iOr thousand times lhe inquiry,
and TO receive the same response, intones
ot every variety Of Indifference. y boy
is learning his FIRST sad lessons in the cold
ness of life. We will no, 90 beyond him
10 see what aching heart there is in some

Tear, has sent him forth on his thaukleSs

be obliged TO 90 and ask again and he re-

in i,so.i.
In this fast age--thlS struggling, crowd
ing world, there is little room for boys ;
and there Is far too lllile thought taken of
lhe obligation that rests upon men TO make
place for them. These materials OF
which men arc made are neglected, and
we are too prone to forget how important
an element we ourselves are in settling The
question, whether they are to be good or
bad. We have plea to make for the
boys. Words Of kindness and encourage
ment to those who are first launching their
lr4jl barks upon the voyage OF life, are
worth thousands of dollars spent in pro-
ceSses to reform such as through neglect
and despair have forgotten their good i'm
pulses, and suffered themselves TO he led
INTO courses of tranSgresson. little
word may stimulate a hope that gIimmers
on the verge of extinction into motive

And to the boys we would say never
despair. If one does not want boy, try
another. You have right TO make the
inquiry. The world was made for you
as well as for the men, and God has de-.
Iermined that YOU shall have place in it,
The hopes of The world are in the boys
The poor boys-and insignificant and
paceless as you yourselves, your mission
