There has recently been Organized a
company to build Railroad fror Dubu-
qae to Anamosa, with the intention Of
extending it southwark to connect with
roads running to keokuk, thus making
continuous Road from keokuk 10 Uu-
hH1uo.
The city Of Dubuque has done nobly
towards the enterprise, and by her aid
has rendered certain the building Of that
portion of 1t between Dubuque and Ana
mosa, Jones county has now q proposi-
ton before the people to subscribe 500.
0oo to the Road which undoubtedly +,
adopted BY the people. This money is
10 be expended in Jones county between
the line Of Cedar and extending to the
Dubuque line They now seek the aid
OF Cedar to extend the line from linton
- the north line of Cedar Co, thus ma-
king the continuous line from Kcokuck to
Dubuque by the way Of Upton and Aan-
mesa.
This certainly is an enterprise which
the people Of Cedar County should en-
gag IN with hearty zeal. II viii add
10 the advantages of Upton and the
county at large as much rs any other
project now before the people, and it is a
very feasible project.
Dubuque and Muscatine are greatly
Interested IN the Road, and it only re-
qulres the completion of the Knk from
Upton to Anamosa to make the whole

We ask for the candid consideration,
Of the people and would like to hear fror,

4 terrible accident occurred mt Oregon
City on the 3Oth ultimo, the steamer
Portland having been carried over The
Falls at that place, causing the death Of
| Capt. Jameson aud one Of the hands and
the entire destruction of the boat.
The weather has been cold and wet,
yet crops looked well, and fruit promises
to be abundant. There had been heavy
taiis OF snow III the interior ia the Ter
ritory during the past winter.
The Cayuse aud Snake Indians had a
ighi at the Nalla. Walla Station, at which
eleven Of their number were killed
Those at the Grand Refund Reserve are
all DISCONTINUED, aud desire to return to
their old camping ground,
Fears are entertained Of another Iqd-
ian outbreak in Washington Territory.
II may not be known to all our read
ers that here are extensive mining dis
tricts in various parts Of this Territory
Oregon has within her borders gold pla-
GERS OF greater extent aud richness than
any known world previous to the finding
Of those In California and Australia. -
They are situated in the southwestern
part Of the Territory adjacent to Gala
iornia, and have proved, as q general
thing, SO far as worked, about equal IL
the digeings IN the latter. The 100
pound nuggets lately found at Sucker
Creek are to be credited to Oregon, that
locality being within her limits. Indeed
We doubt whether there are better dig
ginss to be found than those of Althouse
Apologize andJosephene Creeks, all trib-
utaries Of Rouge River, large stream
in the southern part of that coun-
try. The miners throughout that sec
tlon appear to have been doing well this
winter, except 80 far as their labors have
been interfered with by the snow, which
has fallen IL larger quantities this season
than usual. This, though detriment at
the time, is an advantage in the end, as
it affords more enduring supply of water
lor mining operations.

The Predicted Comet,

The following extract from a private
letter, published in the Nattoaal B,teYi.
JeHecr, gives some facts respecting the
nature Of comets, and also announces .
theory respecting their electrical inau-
ence which may explain the singular
weather Of the present season:
The near approach Of this planet in
embryo win influence orr planet, perhaps
the entire solar system. 1t will be at
tractcd BY the sun, and then repealed by
it; it will both attract and ropel the plan
cts Of the solar system, and uppear to
create disorder and confusion. But we
have N fears II coa neither attract nor
b. aaracted 50 az IA come IN coatat sedh
any Of The heaccnig hodtcS. The most it
can do to any of the planets (ours not
excepted will be to change the currents
of their electrical developments! This
will have 4 tendency TO give Us the war
NEST or the coolest winter (should the
comet appear SOON experienced since
lT65 Should the earth's electricity be
attracted or repealed to either pole, the
temperate zones will enjoy an unusual de-
gree Of mildness; on the other hand.
should the earth 5 electric sheet be gath-
cred in folds nearing the equatorial re-.
gions, then indeed may Ne expect the
most intense cold ever experienced in
this climate. In either event, the dis
tur.ance Of the ocean electricity III
which the solar system floats Will produce
extraordinary r suits in atmospheric TEN
pcrature, wind currents, and Vegetation,
until the electric equilibrium shall be es-
tabliahed
Respecting tire mechanical effect Of a
collision with comet, NJ Babinet of the
French Institute, says:
With regard to one of the questions to
which this question has given rise. |
must protest against the idea that com
ct possesses the power Of imparting a
percoptiblc mechanical shock. | can
prove, that the collision of a swallow in
tent on suicide, and flying with full force
against train Of one hundred carriages,
drawn by ten steam-engincs, would be n
thousand times more dangerous for the
train III question than would be the sim
ultaneous shock Of all the known comets
against the earth.

For some DAYS Ne have been ss

near the Spirit Lake, with wnicn .h M
papers have lately been filed, but nosnin y
sufficiently well authenticated mas nsil-

from 500 to 500 Sioux Indians We're au-

Runors we're currentin town last hleh.
that Oh Saturday at II o'clock bodies OF
Iu,iians we're seen crossing the Dcs
Moipes River, in the immediate vieinl-
ty Of Fort Dodge, and fears are enter,
tanned that the place has been attacked
before now. -,
IF the attack has been made by the
force stated. well armed as the Indians
are represented to be, there were not G.
nourh men nor sufficient ANIMATION In
the place to withstand the fury OF the
savaces even for very short time.
Yesterday several families arrived ID
town from the country, thirty or forty
miles above here, having tumblcd a few
clothes and the women and children into
open wagons, and beat hasty retreat,
leaving their houses and stock uncared
for. For all this, it is apparent that,
whether any hostilities are really to be
feared, yet the panic is not less great
than it would be were the Indians really
in our midst.
Companies have already been formed
in the villages north of this, to go to the
relief of the besieged districts, and while
| write, the drum and fife are sounding
lor recruits from this place. Two com
psuies are likely to be formed here, Que
from each side OF the river. The NUM-
