PINE REGIONS OF MIssoURr.-The Mis-.
souri, Democrat says that in Southern
Missouri there are large tracts of pine
lands, being in belts one hundred
miles long and fifty wide. Railroads
run within a few miles Of them. The
country is well watered, trout abound
in the streams, and wild turkey ane
deer in the timber. The country il
moderately rolling and well calcula
ted for numbering. There are in the
State about million of acres of these
lands, which can now, under the Grad
uation Act, be taken up by actua
settlers at from l2I to IS cents al
acre and by others at 25. Anacr,
will yield from five to ten Thousand
feet of inch lumber, which will be
worth at the mill on the land, at the
present market value, twenty to TWEEN
ty-fve dollars per thousand. The eli.
mate Of that region is as fine as any
in the world, and the chance there
offered to northern men of enterprise
is rare one.

In Massachusetts, during the las,
few years, political fanaticism has
run mad. The Governor of the Com.
monwealth, however, is constantly We
toing the measures Of these fanatics,
and in this way the State, to some ex-
tent, preserves its reputation and saves
itself from bankruptcy. Recently their
renegade Wing and Abolition Know
Nothing Governor, Gardner, who knows
a thing or two, has vetoed one bill
giving one hundred thousand dollars
to Kansas, on the ground of it's un-
constitutionality, and another bill
granting the credit Of the State for a
large amount, to that great bore"
the Hoosac Tunnel. Notwithstanding
Governor Gardner is continually We.
toing the mad projects of these fanat-
les and ignoramuses (for it is con-
coded fact two-thirds of the members
Of the Massachusetts, Legislature do
not know enough to hoe hill of pota-
toes) they still go on and elect him
Governor from year to year. Such is
Know-Nothingism and Abolitionism,
as amalgamated in Massachusetts,
The former wise and able statesmen
of that State are laid on the shelf
The Boston Traveller, in speaking of
the Legislature says:
A good deal of valuable time has
been occupied with attempts at anti
slavery action, which have been baf-
fed by the exercise of gubernatorial
veto, or by disagreement between the
two branches. The fate Of the Kan
sas Resolves is still fresh in the pub
lie mind. Both branches united in the
demand for the removal of Edward G..
Loring from the Office of Judge of
Probate of Suffolk but the Governor
declined to acede to their request
The bred Scott decision awakened the
attention of the Legislature to the
subject Of the citizenship of colored
persons, but no action was taken eth
er in the shape of laws or declaratory
resolves.

independence Of the Press.

Why should an influential journal
come at the beck of any party, or
rathor of any party leaders? Has it
not in itself power ten-fold superior
to them? Is it not bound by a higher law
and wider responsibilities in the ex-
ercise of that power? 1t can afford
and ought to rise above all conside-
rations of cxpediency in its utterance
and advocacy of truth. Aparty paper
cannot do so. 1t may mildly rebuke
here and there, when an outrage
against truth and justice is too high
handed for silence. But its roars are
gentle as sucking doves. No. An
Independent Press is the only one
worthy of the possible future Of the
Fourth Estate" Such journals let
us have throughout the country, at
least in all the centres of public
opinion and influence. Party papers
are doubtless necessary, expedient,
and will always exist, but there is no
more reason why papers Of the first
class, should follow in the lead Of any
party.
The office Of leading journal is, by
the widest intercourse with the worlds
life, to present thorough daguerreo-
type in miniature, Of all it's multifa-
rious and complicate relations. In the
light Of its superior knowledge, result
ing from this wider relationship to the
worlds active life, it should be able
and it is its duty, to instruct it's read
ers as to that course which is best fol
the public good, intricate and perplex
ing questions relating to public affair,
and to the general interest.
Protested and exclusively politica
papers, as a class, with some few
noble exceptions, are. servile, obse
quious, abject, sycophantic, and para
sitical, having none of the innate
elements Of vigorous and selfeup
porting life. Mendacious in their rep
reservations Of opponents, they are
practically incapacitated for entire
truthfulness in the advocacy of the
sentiments Of their own party. Every
newspaper may have, and generally
does have, its speciality, where it
aims to excel. But in whatever sphere
it may choose to labor, there it should
aspire to be not merely the organ but
also the leader in correct public senti
ment, the avant-courier of every
dawning light. Iii only thus tina
the Press as an institution can ful6
tho high mission worthy Of its natur
and its power

MINNEAPOLIS AND CEDAR VALLEY RAIL.
ROAD bill has passed the Legisla.
ture of Minnesota Territory authoriz-
ing the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley
Railroad Company to build road from
Minneapolis by Fairbault to the south
ern boundary Of the territory, west of
range sixteen and grants the lands
along the line to the company accord
ing to the restrictions imposed by
Congress.
The lands till sold are exempted
from taxation, and when and after fif'
ty miles of the road il built in lieu o.
all other taxes, the company is to pay
into the State Treasury three per cent
per annum Of it's earnings.
1t is said that the lands appropriated
to this company are hardly surpassed
in the West for beauty and richness
of soil, while the immense amount OF
land available to the company, with
its increased value and rapid sales
as the road progresses, will place the
construction of the road on a sure
basis.
A consolidation has been arranged
between this company and the Chicago,
Iowa & Nebraska Railroad Company,
which, we understand, is to be made
fixed fact" at the Directors meet
ing at Clinton, next week. By this ar
rangement the Cedar Valley will be-
come the great thoroughfare Of travel
between Chicago and Western and
Northern Minnesota. The Cedar Val.
ley branch Of the Chicago, Iowa &
Nebraska Railroad is located through
a beautiful country, and one abound
ing in more natural resources than al.
most any other portion Of the Vest
Cedar Valley Times.

Shooting in Winnebago County, III.

The Rockford, III. Register contains
the particulars of an affair, which
recently took place at Seward in that
County, between Ex-Governor Bebb,
and force of rowdies, in which one
man was killed, and another severely
wounded.
1t appears considerable ill.feeling
existed between Governor B., and some
of his neighbors, on account of his al
legged aristocratic bearing, and the re.
turn from the east with his bride, was
adopted as the occasion for an exhibit
ton of it.
The rowdies accordingly prepared
themselves with cow-bells, guns, tin
pans, and other articles ordinarily used
en- such occasions, and repaired to the
residence of the Governor at late
hour in the night. and commenced ma.
king all manner of noises, clamors
and outcries, assailing the house with
stones, and firing towards it with their
guns.
After enduring this assault for some
time in silence, Governor Bebb made
his appearance at the trent of his
house, and demonstrated with the mob
requesting them to desist. This re
quest was received with hootings ant
howlings, and an increase of clamor
After little time he again came for
ward and remarked that patience had
ceased to be virtue, and if they die
not desist and leave the premises, he
would be compelled to use violence
This threat only seemed to exasper
, ate the assailants, who replied thai
they had come there to fight, and were
, only waiting for him TO commence, o.
} words of such import. He then wen
: into the house and brought out ;
double-barrelled shot gun, firing ont
barrel at the feet of the ringleaders o
the mob, which shot took effect upol
: one Of the party, crippling him in tn
leg. At this some of them dispersed
while the others rallied and made ;
: rush upon the Governor, who raise,
$ his gun and discharged the other bal
e rel at the foremost man, hitting him j
: the head and killing him instantly
! whereupon his assailants sudddenl
decamped.
5 Governor Bebb gave himself up 70
trial, and was discharged. The affai
creat ted much excitement.

Marble Rock.

Marble Rock is the name Of fine
fourishing town, situated on the east
bank of Shellrock River, in Floyd
County, Iowa. The town is being
built on a beautiful level plain, on the
south edge of Bcelar's Grove. The
Shellrock river, one Of the finest
streams in Northern Iowa, runs para
lell with the town. There arc -four
large springs, and several smaller
ones that gush out of the limestone
rocks adjoining the town plot, so that
every family can be supplied with
pure and wholesome water without
the usual expense of digging wells ;
the above springs have never been
known to fail in summer, or freeze in
winter. Within the last few months
there has been ten dwelling houses,
two stores. one steam saw mill and
blacksmith shop completed besides
other out-buildings, and there is now
in progress of erection two large stone
houses, one blacksmith shop, one
tavern, and several dwelling houses.
The town lots are large and laid out
in the best possible style, so that
every lot shall face OH wide and COM
modious streets, an advantage to be
found in but few towns in the United
States. Building materials of all kinds
may be found in abundance con.
venient to the town.
There is also a valuable water priv
ilege, sufficient to propel an extensive
machinery this will be disposed Of
on terms that will not fail to give en-
tire satisfaction. The farming inter
ests in the vicinity Of the town are ad
vancing with rapidity seldom equal
led in the west.
From the beauty Of it's location, ant
it's natural advantages, Marble Rocl
bids fair at no distant day to be rank
ed amongst the first inland towns il
the west. 1t is situated in the centr
Of one Of the finest farming countries
all things considered, that can b
found west of the Mississippi.
The most liberal Inducements ar
held out by the proprietors of Marbl
Rock to mechanics and tradesmen c
all descriptions. The proprietors vii
/. give lots to all who will build on then
within six months.
For further particulars inquire O
the proprietors, Jacob Beelar an
Nelson Shattuck, at Marble Rock.
