Marshall C0unty--Thcn and
Now.

Those Of us who have lived here for the
past twenty one years, can realize the rap
i'd growth and prosperity. as well as appre-
ciatc the many advantages and comforts
which We new enjoy, that the early settlers
were deprived of.
In the year 1886, we settled i'll this
county, and have lived here ever since
Then as now. Marshall county was twenty
one miles square; having an area of AL
miles, or 282, 90 acres; then but small
portion of the lands were bought of the
government; now the lands are all sold cx-
c"pt Il small quantity Of swamp lands be-
longing to tie State Then there were
hundreds Of Indians Oh their different re-
serves; now there are not more than doz
en in the county. Then the voters did
not exceed Is; now they exceed 9, 000--
Then there was not school house in the
county now there are over sixty. Then
there were 10 laid out roads, except the
Michigan and Laporte State roads; now
we have loo many, unless they were better.
Then the settlers were located along the
Michigan road, now the least township can
poll over hundred ystes Then we had
10 go nearly to Lafayette for provisions; now
we have enough and to.spare. Then there
was no stated preaching; now religious
meetings are held In almost every neigh
borhood Oh every Sabbath. Then people
were dependent on each other--lived So
clably and happy together; now species
Of alistocracy has sprung up--we have
become cold and Indifferent in reference to
each others welfare, and we are beginning
to class of--consequently Their IS less real
disinteres!ed friendship now than there
was in our earlier history Too much i'm
portance is attached to wealth and fine
clothing, for true friend hip to prevail

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Judge Stiles,
District Attorney Hockaday and Marshal
Dotren, Federal officers for Utah, join in a
card empbatically contradicting the reports
from that Territory. extensively published
in the newspapers, which charge David F
Burr, late Surveyor General of Utah, with
having committed frauds upon the Govern

and falsifying the position of the Mormons.
There is report in circulation that
Brigham Young has written letter to
President Buchanan, expressing his graft
fication at the prospect of being relieved
from the Governorship of Utah, and prom
ising that the Federal officers to be sent
thither should be kindly treated, provided
they attended to their legitimate business.

DIFFICULTY AT BLooMINGToN.--We un-
derstand that a difficulty occurred al
Bloomington on Wednesday, between
Judge Hughes and Judge Buskirk growing
out of the examination of some "Regulat-
ors," now going on. Hughes is for the
defense and Buskirk for the prosecution.
The latter struck at the former with a cane,
which he warded off, but which hit him on
the back ofthe hand Hughes drew ris-
toI and fired at Buskirk, but some one pres
ent threw up the barrel as he was in the
act of firing, and the ball lodged in the cell
ing These are the main facts. as We heard
them, but they may not be true in every
particular A very angry and excited
state of feeling prevails at Bloomington re-
garding the doings of the Regulators and
their examination. New albany Ledger,

ence against this system. The Northern
portion of our Church has simply miscon-
ceived and misrepresented them, when they
have thought and said otherwise. And
there was no nescessity for division in our
Church. if all the North and South would
have exercised little more patience and
forbearance. But believing that these vir-
tues are forgotten, We are going to seek
peace elsewhere. Thus far now, | have
given you facts. You may find some edit
ors and preachers here who will probably
gainsay it. But if they do, it is because,
like most of their several professions, they
fear public sentiment and are trying to
stand so straight that they lean over OIL
the other side.
"And now if you want what we conjecture
will be the result OF our separation, l can
give you the prevalent opinion. 1t has
been for some time pretty well understood
that you Mort hren brethen are to have large
accession from our Old-sehool brethren at
the North, in exchange for us !. But
when you come, as come you must, to meet
the question between voluntary societies
and ecclesiastical Boards, you will find
trouble between Congregational friends
on the one hand, and your new made
allies on the other. The votes and infu-
ence of those of us now leaving you would
probably do you good service then, but we
expect just about that time to be somewhere
else. The great body cfus, sooner or later,
will fall into the Oldschool Church at the
South. But there are some of us that can
not preach Limited Atonement, and the
Imputation of Adams Sin, as they under
stand it."

|" Ill this road be built from here to Pc
ru! Is question that we frequently hear
asked, but we have not heard a satisfactory
answer from reliable source. Had the
proposed arrangement been entered into
between the officers of the Ft. Wayne
road and the Laporte and Northern Indi-
ana road, there would have been no proba-
bility that the road from here to Peru would
ever have been built; but as that arrange
ment has failed, we see nothing to prevent
1t from being completed, provided the stock
holders will consent to give up all their
interest in the lands belonging to the COM
pany, and to the work which has been
done. We are not inside of the ring, but
ne are inclined to the opinion that were
the stockholders 10 consent to such an ar
rangement, that the old company would be
disbanded and new one formed, which
would build the road.
Marshall county has deep interest in
the speedy completion Of this road, aside
from the stock that many of her citizens
have taken, and all are anxious to see i
built; unless there is some plan, not known
by the public, we predict that the road
viii never be built unless the stock holder:
consent to give up their entire interest to q
new company.
We Should be glad to learn that we ar,
