SOLDIERS are an expensive luxury, even
in time of peace, with foreign foes. The
annual expense of a soldier in the United
States Army is stated to be about S1443,
1t therefore costs about a million a year
to employ TOO dragons to enforce the
bloody Missouri code III Kansas, three
fourths of which at least is paid by the
people of the Free States.

1owA.-HER PRODUCTS AND RAILROADS

The Railroad Record, of Cincinnati,
makes the following remarks under the
above head. What the Record SAYS is
proved by the record.' z
The progress of Iowa has been very
remarkable and as that State is now
building mere railroads than any other
State, it is worth while to look into its
resources. In Iowa are now making at
least four or FIVE great lines of railroad,
viz: that from Davenport and LYONS
through to Council Bluffs !: that from
Burlington west: that from Keokuk
northwest /; and that from Dubuque. All
these lines will traverse the State west in
its whole length, and will probably make,
with their branches, 1900 miles to
which may be added 500 more of lateral
roads. Iowa has not undertaken this
immense work without sufficient resour-

the murder case of which we gave a brief
report last week. The Republican says ::
can unfortunate and lamentable state of

her department towards him for some

ly censurable." The following is the
