EDMUND RICE,
Agent NJ. and n. W. r. r. Co.

REMARKs.-We are glad that Mr.. Edmund
Rice, whom we know to be the only man in
Minnesota authorized to speak for the NJ. &
N. w. Railroad Company, has thus vindica-
ted himself and the Company. But his de-
fense does not clear his brothers tools-Em-
erson, Brown, &c.-from the charge we
brought against them on the 5th, (and
followed up in our article of the 13th)
of using the influence Of the Company to
defeat and strike doace F'materiI and original
friends Of the enterprise" We are aware that
Mr.. Edmund Rice did not-ipersoaally, nor as
the agent of the company-use the means or
influence of the company to elect his brother
to Congress, so far as any proof before us
can be brought against him. But the diff
Guilty rests here: The Democrat. the public

the enterprise were attacked on the st. Croix
and elsewhere by the known stipendaries of
Il. NJ. Rice; and the voters were told that
the onlg hope of consumnating the enterprise
was II. NJ Rice's election to Congress.
It is not probable that, SO far as the Rail
road is concerned, any contsaSarsy between
Mr. Edmund Rice and ourselves will ever
amount to "a hill Of beans" He processes

EA Kossuth-who, as usual, is as great
on paper as by word of mouth-indulges in
some very windy and wordy letters on the
capture of Sebastopol, which, he now thinks,
does not amount to much. If Kossuth had
been tenth part as good a soldier as rheto-
rician-Hungary, doubtless, would have yet
been power.
But it is of no use for Kossuth, or for any
other writer, to try to convince the world,
that the now complete possession, which the
Allies have of the Black Sea,-with the des-
truction of the Russian feet,-is not of very
high importance not only to the Allies, but
to the whole commercial world in opening
that sea and its surroundings to the COM
merce of that world. To subdue Russia is
impossible, but in clipping and humiliating
her, the Allies are very successful.-New

most popular features OF their entertainments
at st. Louis has been the "burlesque of the

city have unanimously spoken in terms of
the highest praise. 1t brings into requisition
the full force of the mammoth company, and

. DEcLrSED.-We see by the Louisvills pa
pers that Gen. VIM. o. Butler has declined
the nomination for Congress, of the Old
Line Democratic convention in the 10th dis
trict of Kentucky. There seems to be a
great want of the "adhesive" among the
more distinguished Kentucky Democrats
just now. They don't appear to be inclined
to "stick" to body that they know to be
dead and rotten, and altogether too worth
less for an attempt at resurrection. Such
men have sagacity enough to leave the old
hulk Of Democracy In time; they have no
idea of holding on to the superannuated
ghost of the old party and be buried alive
with it at the coming election. Gen. Butler
declines to be candidate. Dir. Brecken-
ridge, the Democratic leader of the South.
ern forces, declines in advance. In fact, the
so.called Democracy of Kentucky, have not
first-class man or a prominent politician
on their State ticket, and they have failed in
every instance where they have attempted
to bring out candidate above the second
or third class, in any congressional district
"Sam" has taken possession of Kentucky,
and the better class of the Old Liners have
sense enough to see it, and to know that re-
sistance is vain.

StraightL.nc Railroad.

We give place to-day, to letter from
Hon. 0. III. Smith, President of the E. /. g.
C. Straight Line Railroad to the editor of the
N. Y. Railroad Advocate. Since this arti-
Gle was placed in hands, we have received q
letter from Henry v. Poor, Esq, editor of
the N. Y. Railroad Journal, complaining that
we had done him injustice in an editorial re-
ferring to his attack upon this Evansville
Railroad project, and enclosing an article
from his paper for republication in the Ev-
ansville Journal, in justice to himself. We
have no disposition to do injustice to Mr.
Poor-not half the disposition he appears to
have exhibited to do injustice to great en-
terprise in which this city necessarily feels
much interest. We have spoken precisely
of Mr.. Poor's course as we thought it deserv-
ed, and see no reason to change our opinion
of his policy from the article enclosed us, and
which we shall republish in few days.
The greater part of it is direct attack upon
the consistency and judgment of Mr.. Smith
and so far as that is concerned, he makes an
argument which will stand only till Mr.
Smith publishes a reply, and no longer, We
presume.
We have nothing to do with that part o
the subject, as Mr.. s. is amply prepared ant
very willing TO take care of himself. Blu
so far as the Railroad Journal touches upon
the merits. prospects and real importance o
this magnificent enterprise, we are ready t
meet it in discussion, and repel the charges
made, as we think in common with others
ina spirit Of malice against the President O
the Road. We shall republish shortly thu
Railroad Journal article, or the greater par
of it, and take up the subject ourselves if
be deemed necessary.
