The Burlington, Iowa, State Ga
zette says that while some workmen
were engaged in excavating for the
cellar of Gov. Grimes new building.
on the corner Of Main and Valley
streets they came upon an arched
vault some ten feet square, which on
bel ng opened, was found to contain
eigh t hnman skeletons of gigantic
proportions. The walls Of the vault
were about fourteen inches thick,
we'll laid up with cement or indestruc-
tible mortar. The vanlt is about
six feet deep from the base to the
arch. The skeletons are in good
state of preservation, and we venture
to say are the largest human remains
ever found, being a little over eight
feet long.

1t is stated that the whole white
male population ofthe United States
over Fl years Of age, and, to be pre-
sumed, entitled to vote, is about D..
100000, and yet the votes cast at a
presidential election seldom exceed
100000, leaving 100000 of in
habitants who do not use their fran.
chise. In the State of New York,
in 1862, the voting population ex-
ceeded 100000, yet the votes re-
turned did not much exceed 100000,
In Massachusetts the white males
over 81 are nearly 100000, and yet
the vote ia 1852 was only $4,000,
showing that nearly two-thirds OF
the adult population for some cause
or other, had stayed away from the
polls. And the proportion is nearly
as great in several other States.

The Galveston Civilian, of the 9tl

correspondent in Hallettsville, Lavae

Editors Civilian: -Onr town was
thrown into a state of confusion this
morning by a rumor from the coun-
TRY, some six miles distant, stating
that an insurrection among the ne
groes was to take place tomorrow
night, S1st Of October, and that the
citizens had gathered together at j.
E. Martins to investigate the affair
and determine what should be done.
After a sufficient number had COL
lected, they examined J: E. Martins,
j. c. Finnie's, B. f. Massie's and
W. L. Peters negroes, and found
that the statements coroborated;
thai Mr.. Davidson, living in the
Deighborhood Of that place, and two
other men (the;r names not recollect-
ed by me) we're at the head of the
instruction; that the place of rem
devious was point called Pecan
Mott, on the dividing ridge between
here and the Guadalupe, and that
the negroes on the Guadalupe would
meet them there.
They were to visit the residences
Of their masters, kill them, and take
all the arms and ammunition they
could find, and fight their way into
Mexico. Several of the citizens !
vent from this place to assist, and
soon returned with the news that
Davidson had been taken and was to !
De examined. A large number of
persons had gathered. This evening
dispatches were sent out in every d.

our country friends we might, per-

pondence from all parts Of the west

The Railroad

We are gratifed in being able tt
state that Mr.. Garland B. HITLER is
again in the field, as agent TO procure
subscriptions of stock for the building
of the Railroad. We trust he will re.
ceive cordial greeting. The Road
can be built, and with ease, if all who
are in favor of the enterprise will sub
scribe according to their means. An
undertaking SO well calculated to de-
velope the resources Of the county
of. the WHOLE county, has never be-
fore been put on foot. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether we will avail
ourselves of this, the last chance
If the Road is to be built, every one
who desires to see it in operation,
mast subscribe himself, and not wait
for his neighbors to do the work
1t won't do for part to furnish the
wind, expecting others to furnish the
subscriptions. IF Lincoln is to have
as good a price for her productions as
other counties, we must all put a
shoulder to the work. That will
bring it-and that alone. Such are
the facts. Think of them.
