Quincy road ut Bushnell. and proceed to
Blandinville, McD enough county, forming a
line totally independent Of the Chicago and
Quincy road. The citizens Of Bardolph, on
the Quincy road. have raised handsome
subscription TO the road, and if it 10 con-
cluded to use any portion Of the Quincy road
the central division will touch that road a,
Bardolph and leave it below Mncomb, OF
wherever ii might be deemed most desirable
for the western division to connect with TIL
Quincy road. But the former project seemi
to have been pretty surely decided upon.
This was the result OF the late meeting al
Bushnell.
cT' The Missouri Republican gives ar
account Of the escape Of three fiaves from
that State, closely followed by two white
men in pursuit. The negroes we're orertaker
near Sparta, Randolph county, Ills, and a
fight ensued between the fugitives and theil
| would be captors. One OF the negroes was
wounded, one shot dead and the third es.
capped. One Of the white men cut off The
head Of the dead slave and procured q
vessel Of alcohol in which he carried it bach
to Border Rutfandom as a trophy. The
1 Republican deems this latter act highly cen
surable, and denounces il ia the most indig-
nant terms. But why is it censurable, If, as
fancy declares, and the Republican echoes
ga negro has no rights that white man il
bound to respect?"
! An INpRoyExrsT.--The MI. Pleasant Rail
road, that for the first two or three days hal
attempted to take the passengers from it
depot to the packet landing, and from thu
landing to the depot by carriages, has aban
doned the arrangement. There were so ma
ny passengers that It was troublesome to al
parties. The through passengers will here
after be brought down from the up-rive1
boats to the packet landing by the Decaliol
ferry steamer, and taken from the lower riv
er boats to the depot by the Hamilton Belle
The passengers stopping in town will b.
brought from the depot by omnibus, as here
toforc, as it will be the most convenient TO
them.

A RuxoR Madam rumor says that ther
has been union formed between the low
Southern and the keokuk 4 Nebraska Cit
Railroad Companies. This will be 70 Z
news, il true, TO the citizens Of the souther
tier bat the truth of the mattei we kno
not; and as madam rumor has been know
to lie, there may be nothing of it. We sha
