IFor the InteIlgeneer.l
TIE "PANHANpLEn RAILROAD.

Nessrs Editors Being from home, have
no opportunity of knowing what course our
present delegate oF Brooke intends to pursue in
relation TO the affair of the Panhandle" Rail
road, should the question be revived again at
the present session of our Legislature. Unfor-
tunatcy for Brooke, and strange as it may APP
pear, her delegates have hitherto been too much
ruled by Pittsburg, or its Railroad Company, to
do any any thing for the benefit of their own
county in the matter.
There was, some time ago, written contract
entered into, between the railroad committee OF
the City of Wheeling and the town council of
WeIIsburg, for the purpose of asking our Leg
islaturc to grant charter for an independent
line of railroad"-to pass from said city, up
through the counties of Ohio and Brooke, and
across our Panhandle" to the State line OF
PENNSYLVANIA. This was happy arrangement,
and had our Brooke delegate boen only wise
enough to have carried it out, in concert with
the Ohio county delegation, (and feel satisfied
that more than majority of the people OF
Brooke, would have sanctioned it) the "long
vexed question" would have been decided long
ago.
Should the Railroad Company pass through
our territory, and cross the Ohio river at Steu-
benville, it would not only take from US our
present vantage ground, OF, from thirty to forty
miles-the difference in distance, between our
"PanhanClen line, and that of the "Circum-
bendibus" to Pittsburgh;-brt would also, de.
rive therefrom, such controlling influence over
the Ohio lines of road, as would evidently tend
to impair, and that to very great extent, the
connection between the City of Wheeling and
the "Central Ohio" and "Marietta" lines; and
us a consequence growing out of that, the
western border of our State, from the north end
of Brooke county, and as far south as the City
of Wheeling, would be cast aside from the main
line of thoroughfGre-eas aud weSt,-aRd left,
a kind Of bdrreR iril7erRess in the scale OF
Railroad Improvement,
As will bese the only question to be settled
between the parties, is, TO fix upon point at
which to cross the riyer,-whether at Steuben:
vile or lower down the stream, in order to pre-
vent injury to part of the western border of
our State. This question being disposed of and
the controversy ends.
Concerning, then, the greatness of the favor
that would be conferred upon the Company, in
granting it charter to pass through our terri
tory, it would appear thatit ought upon every
principle of reciprocal kindness, to feel itself
bound TO OiUe some little in the matter cithoMt
demanding all, by making the City of Wheel
ing the point Of egress for its road into the State
Of. Ohio,
In conclusion, 1 would just say. that our legis-
ature, if it has the power to do, will during its
present session, do something for the purpose
of protecting us citizens of Brooke and Ohio,
from the manifest injury the Company would
infiict upon us, should it succeed inits attempt
to carry its line Of road across the Ohio at Steu-
benville. BRooKE.

To the Editors of the n. Y. Express
Congratulate me on the fact that my husband
is once more restored to me and my children,
after an estrangement of three months, caused
by that mink Polly Tics. During this sad
quarter Of year my unfortunate husband so
far forgot all about himself and his domestic
duties, that he was entirely obliviOus to my re-
quest for means to pay grocers and bakers
bills, and the only way in which could get
money of him was by offering to bet on Tieman
which he would take at Oncc-and then in
sisting upon him stalking the money in my
sisters hands. Gradually he became entirely
neglected. Ofhis personal appearance, and had
to administer chlOrolorm to him in order to get
clean shirt on him. His boots began to look
like pieces of rusted stove pipe, and his unmcn-
tionableS were worn Ia mode de Greeiy. His
hair, beard and mustache were never once cut
during thewhole of that period, AMI the chill
dren were in danger Of forgetting III u. The
only way in which could preserve their re-
collection of him was by daguerrcntype of
him, which, having in the house, Show 81 them

going to beat another lad at school for pointing
out my husband and saying, ''Therc goes your
father, All" oh, poor Alfred, it was a very
natural mistake. The only time on which
saw him take any notice of the boy during all
this time was one Sunday, when the lad wanted
10 HIS klIe lOIu lllaI II WIS
wrong to fly n kite on Sunday, but that he
should go to church and read his Dispatch like
good boy.
Happily, all this is over now. There was
terrible improvement in him on the morning of
the I'd December. He did not hurry out of the
house so fast, but sat bordering. at breakfast
Raising his head, he saw the children, the sight
melted him, but he had forgotten names, so /

him to glass and showed him how he looked
and then exhibited the daguerreotype which

simply asked-t'whose likeness is this2" as
sured him it was his. He never said word,
| but walked out Immediately, stayed an hour,
and cnue back shaved and trimmed. 1t took
the rest of the morning to repair all the ravages

was again his former self--the children recog-
nized and kissed, and am once more happy

THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN MINNESOTA.
St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer of April 16,
gives some particulars concerning the Indian
troubles in that territory. A party of soldiers
who had been dispatched from Fort Ridgely
to the scene of depredations on the Des
MONIES river, on arriving at Springfield, on
the 4th insty found that band of Sioux In
dams had attacked the town on the I'd inst,
killing seven persons, wounding three, and
carrying four women into captivity. Among
the killed were William and George F. Wood,
Josiah Stuart and Mr.. Church The names
of two of the women who were taken prisoners
we're Mrs. Marvel and Miss Gardner. The
attack was made without provocation, and
unsupported by the settlers. Two Indians
were killed. One was shot by Mrs. Church,
who loaded guns for the men in one of the
houses.
Aid having been sent for from Isaac, Slo-
cum S, on Watonwan river, about twenty miles
from Mankato, party of thirty-eight volun-
teers left the latter place, and on reaching
Slocum's found the Indians already there. A
few of the men went over to the tents, where
they found nine Indians, who Immediately
ran at the appearance of the the whites,
throwing their hatchets into the air, and firing
at the whites. The whites Immediately charged
upon them and killed four. None of the
whites were injuredwit the exception of one
man, who received slight wound in the hand.
This. it appears, was the signal, and immedi-
ately upon the return of the whites to the
house, it was surrounded by about $50 Indian
warriors. Messengers were sent off for aid,
and parties were Immediately made up to 60
to the rescue. No later intelligence has been
received from this locality
The St. Paul Times of the 10Th publishes
information to the effect that rumor had
reached st. Peters that the Sioux Indians had
been numbering the whites at Blue Earth and
pillaging and burning the dwellings, and arc
moving down upon Mankato with the deter
mination of destroying all the whites. The
report was subsequently verified, and prepar-
ations were made to stop the progress of the
savages. One hundred men were to be dis
patched from Fort Smelling
A late Geographic dispatch says that the
town of Mankato has been burnt by the In
dams.
