Railroad Meeting.

Pursuant to q call the friends Of the
McGregor Railroad met at Cheney &
Brackets Hall Wednesday evening
Sept. 23d.
The meeting was called to order and
Hon. David Ripley appointed Chair
man, and d. D. w. Carver, Secretary
The chair briefly stated the object
of the meeting and introduced to the
audience Mr.. Mack, of Wisconsin, who
is Land Agent for the company ant
a Director in said road.
Mr.. j. +. Mack took the stand ant
called attention Immediately to the
all engrossing subject of his labors
and in very pleasing and effective
manner urged the people to put thei'
shoulders to this gigantic enterprise
and steadily and unitedly assist in
pushing the work forward to an early
completion. After speaking half an
hour he introduced Dea. Clinton, the
master spirit Of the McGregor railroad
who for nearly an hour interested and
enlightened the audience with one OF
his inimitable railroad speeches. The
Deacon's whole life seems to be almost
made IN of railroads. He can hardly
talk, think or act anything else, and
did he not apply the breaks frequently
to his speeches they would last all
night. With Dea. Clinton to conduct
the train we need have no fears of rum
ming off the track and he will safely
guide the Iron Horse over hill and dale
until it reaches the beautiful Cedar
Valley.
The Deacon spoke of what had been
done, of what was being done and
what he and the railroad company
wished to do. To accomplish what
seemed of such inestimable impor-
tancc he, with Mr.. Mack and Mr.
Thompson, were again before the peo-
pie craving their assistance. He
spoke of the favorable consideration
this object of so much moment had
already received and he hoped to be
able to report united deter
mination of the people along on
the line to speedily prosecute this
work. He said hands were at work
on seven sections of this road, they
had all been paid up to this time, and
if subscribers make prompt payment
Of their assessments they will be able
to keep the present force employed all
winter and in the spring will renew
their zeal. The result will be CON-
pletion and successful operation of IS
miles of the road in 1858.
The subscribers to the railroad stock
were requested to call upon Mr..
Mack to morrow forenoon and make
payment Of the FIRST assessment Of 5
per cent on their subscriptions.

CheerfnlnpSS.

The sharp pangs of money pinch
one of the severcst that has ever hap
pened, and which was in active opera
tion at the beginning of last week
have passed away, and the release
which has now been obtained in
money matters from panic fears, even
worse than realities, has left a general
cheerfulness Of front and confidence of
feeling which is quite delightful to
see. The panic ran itself aground in
very short time. Matters are now
felt not so bad as they seemed. The
panic is now thought to have been a
foolish one-brought about by un-
founded attacks on railroad property,
! which was more or less held by every
body. 1t extended to all kinds, and
loans were ruthlessly called in with
out regard to consequences, and often
in reckless manner The subsistence
of the fears which led to such mad
conduct has produced cheerful calm
and settled mode of procedure--liqui-
dating accounts and contracts as fast
as possible-which is extending itself
steadily. The excitement was at the
height Of intensity on Tuesday of last
week. We never saw faces so long,
produced from mere money pressure.
Wall street was crowded to an un-
usual density. Distress jostled dis
tress. Fear rubbed itself from irrita-
ton. Borrowers were legion in num-
Der, and all asked for ten times more
than they wanted. All creditors seem
ed to be insisting on the immediate
repayment of the loans they had made
and securities were for sale at an un-
usual discount, even for these times of
deprecated values. Grasping CAPT.
talists took advantage of this pressure
and doled out sums at the most usuri-
GUS rates. One per cent. per day did
not even seem to satisfy the conscien-
ces Of some. Everybody who had
money seemed afraid to use it, and
Rugged or hid it, as if there was going
to be universal suspension of pay
ments. On the day following, all was
changed. A calm succeeded, the pres
sure abated, the banks relaxed little
in their demands for repayment of
loans, money was observed to come
in freely from the interior, aud since
then confidence has been restored, and
recognition of the general prosper
ity has come to be the settled creed of
the time Cheerfulness prevails. The
abundance of money which is not yet
in Wall street, is felt to be coming
steadily. while sufficient exists, with
moderate economy, to carry us through
the harvest times. To the harvest all
now look. On its vast products de-
ponds our coming prosperity. The
harvest has a smiling aspect-aye,
ring out merry laughter before us
and we smile back again, looking at
it with gladness of heart that is con-
fidence and cheerfulness combined
