RAILROAD SoUrH-MovEMgNr MApE.-En-
gineer Kelly informed us on Saturday last,
that he designed leaving the city on Monday
morning, for the preliminary survey of "a
railroa9 south, in the direction Of Mt Pleas
ant, or rather pointing to the intersection Of
the keokuk, Mt. Pleasant d Muscatine Road
with the 0skaloosa line west This point,
we believe, is some 80 miles below US, about
three quarters of mile from the junction
Of the Iowa and Cedar rivers in Louisa
county, and not more than three and half
miles northwest Of Columbus City.
The roads below are said TO be in good
condition and progressing well, and the i'm
portance of the connection to the interests
of Iowa City cannot we'll be overestmated
giving US southern outlet to keokuk mt all
seasons Of the year, and the advantages Of
navigation below that city whenever the river
is navigable there.
We have no doubt that from Louisa coun-
ty north every man along the contemplated
line will enter the project heart AMI hand, it
being TO many portions Of johnson Go. par
tlcularly an enterprise of momentous impor-
lance.
Mr.. Kelley, who will be recognized us for
long time connected with railroad building
west Of Chicago, will probably return in .
week, or ten days and we await with interest
his report of the route, its practieability and
probable expense Iowa City Reporter.

WHEAT AND NEGROES IN GEORGIA. Geor
gia correspondent of the New Orleans Delta,
under date of March Goth, writes from Gwin-
nett county ::
The prospect for good wheat crop in this
ard the adjoining counties, is indeed very
gloomy.
Most Of our wheat was sown later last
fall than usual, and the freezing weather
setting in early in December, killed great
deal IN the sprout, and before it had taken
ro.t.
Notwithstanding there is great agitation
Of the slavery question going on in and on,
Of Congress, vet have never known slaves
sell at such high prices in this country, at
public sale, as they now command. In fact,
you never hear Of man being cheated il
buying one now at any price. If he gives
too much, his friends will tell YOU he is mol
cheated, but his bargain is little harde,
than some one else's. There 10 a company
of young men in this county buvlng young
ones to carry to Kansas to sell to those who
are in want of such property. understand
they are going to carry about 200 the FIRST
trip.

LONDON, April 2.-ERANcr.-The Monteur
of Yesterday announced that by special de-
cree the award of grand cross Of the legion
of honor was conferred on Walewsk and
Baron Bourgeney, and the Baron is raised to
the dignity of Senator.
Official journals also announce the Empe-
rors decision, that the soldiers of the class
of l84S, who have been returned until this
June under the military banner, shall be re-
stored to their homes. Orders for the i'm
mediate execution Of the will of the Empc-
ror, have already been received by the Minis
ter Of War
! The ceremonial announcement Of the con-
clusion Of peace was made to the Senate,
and the Corps Legislatif on Monday, in the
words previously employed to announce the
fact in the Moniteur. TO this proclamation,
the Minister of State added
| The Emperor has charged that in bringing
the fact to your knowledge, to thank you for
the support you have always afforded, which,
with the admirable devotedness Of the allied
1 forces, have contributed to the happy issue
Of peace. 1t has already been stated, that
the members of the conference have still to
perfect number Of secondary arrangements,
essential to the new state of relations to be
established in the East. LIE Aord says the
organization of the Principaities is one of
these reserved subjects, and the Debats point
out as another special regulation necessary,
the free navigation of the Danube.

Ia Judge Butler, of South Carolina de-
clared in the Senate, on Thursday last, that
ne would 60 out Of the Union rather than
submit 70 tn Introduction of the right claim
Cd for Southern gentlemen to carry their
slaves into the national territories. The
Union of Saturday parades the declaration
under its editorial head with great delight.
Such language from Seward or Hale would
be abolition treason. From the quarter
from which it now comes, it is merely a
manly outburst Of lofty chivalry. These
southerners, who crack their whips on their
plantations, wish to crack them occasionally
in Congress. They feel towards the North
as our friend in the song felt towards his
wife.

We learn that after Mr.. Everett had con-
Guided his lecture III Richmond, the other

remark 10 the audience. This brings back

was making IA post mastery and eloquent
effort in an important cause. Writ on this
occasion almost out did himself. The au-
dence hung in breathless transportation on
his burning eloquence, keen wit and wlther-
ing sarcasm, and Ia the thronged room not
sound was heard but the full and mellow
tones of the almost inspired orator.
In burst OF sublime eloquence Writ con-
Guided his speech, and no sooner than the
case had beea continued until next day,
which was done in second after Writ sat
down. AMI while his tones still fingered upon
the ears Of the rapt audience, than little
s'forty shilling attorney sprang to his feet
ana broke out wth-s4If the Court please,
