The great army of railroad builders, SO busy
in this country few years ago, have mainly
set down the barrow and laid down the shovel.
Their occupation is gone, and it is only here
and there a company is veRturesOme enough or
has the means to grade or lay track Many
magnificent schemes partially completed are
suepended-some indefinitely, and others fer
better times To talk OF new railroad project
is evidence of fitness for mad-house, and an
old fashioned paragraph urging their eOnstruc-
ton would blister in the pen during this ''heat-
el term"
We have Just met with two shouting new
railroad items, but could scarce credit our SEN
ses. The first in the Fremont Journal as fol-
lows
FRENoNr AND INDIANA RNLRoAD-The work
on this road has commenced in earnest, and
will be pushed forward to completion rapidly.
The LAYING of the iron was commenced on
Monday, the 5th inst and we had the pleasure
ofdrivioq the first SPIKE Over half a mile OF
track has been laid this week Iron for four or
five miles has already been delivered, and more
afoat on the lake is daily expected
That iron link may be necessary in the Opin-
ion of the Company constructing it, but we will
venture that the stock will not be worth twenty
cents on the dollar "henceforth and forever"
The next startling new railroad paragraph is
from the Win0na Republican, new Minnesota
city OF the west side of the Mississippi, that has
sprung up like JOnah's gourd. It's announced
with due flourish that Meisrs A. De GrafT& Co.,
have contracted to build one hundred and fifty
miles of the Transit Railroad, from WinOna
westward to the point of junction of the Transit
with the Cedar Valley Road on the MinnesOta
River The contractors are also to furnish and 4
lay the iron on the road. The Republican says
e'there are now from four to five hundred men /
employed, and in few days this number will |
be trebled''
This Transit Road route must be mainly /
through sparsely settled or wilderness eOun-
try, and is at least ten years ahead of the de-
veloped wants of the section.

Afairs I'm utnh and Oregon

A Washington despatch of the 9TH to the Tri-
bune says:
The news from Utah is BY TO means satisfae-
tory Although official dispatches make no
mention of any disagreement between Governor
Cumming and the army officers, the fact is no.
torious and forms the staple OF most of the Pri-
vate correspondence from Camp Scott. Gov
emor Cumming was not satisfied with the
course indicated by the Peace Commissioners,
nor altogether with the policy of sending them
at all. He thought the Presidents proclama-
ton should have been sent lIim direct.
The Peace Commissioners have no authority
TO supersede Cummings power as Governor, or
to control the movements of the army. They
we've appointed with the expectation Of finding
the MoImons in rebellion, and taking their sub
mission on certain conditions, and with no he
lief that Governor Cumming would be estab-
lished at Salt Lake in the administering Of civil
functions Hence, TO such extent, so much OF
their task is already fulfilled. How far they
may deem it necessary to proceed beyond this
point has yet to be developed.
Gen. JohnslOn'S command, numbering in all
about 5000 men, was TO have started on the 18th
of June for the military reservation beyond
Salt Lake. No new orders have been issued,
and his march is now directed to the destination
marked out before the trains were burnt and
animals stampeded last fall. So he is only
Ooeying his original instructions
Private letteis TO officials here state that
there is every probability Of serious Indian
war in Oregon and Washington, and the Ad-
miEistration is much exercised at the prospect
which presents itself.

APPE,RANcE OF HIsAN CoLE-The trial Of
Cole in Ashtabula county for the murder of his
wife in Geauga has been postponed to the Sep
tember term. A correspondent of the SeniiRel
thus describes the appearance of the prisoner;
In person he is short and rather thick eel, hair
dark, face pale, eyes would be called bright ha-
zel-such as ladies admire-but have greenish
yellow hue, and aquick restless giaH17. When
preparing 10 90 back TO Chardon yesterday NOR
ming, after the case was put over, We obtained
a sight of him, and watched him some time
His trunk did not shut to suit him, he stampeI
it with quick violence three or four times and
buckled the strap. He saw that some one was
looking at him, and while adjusting his trunk
and stopping over, he took the liberty to scan
the locker very closely. He came down into
the room, shook hands with the ladies, but did
not look them in the face. With some effort l
caught Lis eye twice aud held it about ten sec
onds, and it glanced off to other objects. He has
the sly stealthy look Of cat, his motions are
quick as lightning, but studied. His voice is
low, rapid, sharp and cautious in its tones and
movements. His face is full, the forehead well
developed, and indicates good intellect mingled
with some shrewdness He has been in jail now
near a year, and seems to have enjoyed a fair
appetite for the sherih-s beef, and shows q full,
rounded, well fed body.

Eree Lamar I'm North ,Iissouri.

4 glance at the map of Missouri discloses the
fact that the portion of the State bordering on
Iowa is marked as thickly with lines of streams
as the hand with veins A Missourian familiar
with all sections of the great State, assured US
yeare ago that North Missouri was the most
desirable ofllnds for agricultural purposes, that
every quarter or half section had its living
stream, the prairie. and timber so alternating
as u Just suit for pleasant farms and homes
The country is sufficiently rolling, soil fertile,
and climate healthy and mild. When the food
of Eastern emigration settled down into South
ern Iowa, many farmers sold to the new com
ers. then crossed the line into Missouri, and re-
purchased at about one-third the price obtained
for no better lands in the Free State. The Free
labor movement in st. Louis soon g set the
ball in notion" and North Missouri felt the
uuickening impulse sent out from the CONNER
ciaI emporium. Free immigration has been ac-
CELEBRATED by it and in noticing the establish
meat by Col. Raymond of the RereiRe, at
Alexandra, a spirited Free Labor organ in
North Missouri, the st. Louis DsmOsTGt with
significance says
The cause of free labor seems TO be making
an unparalleled progress all over the State; but
If We are to believe the signs of the times, no
where is the public sPiri: rOusing itself more
unitedly and vigorously than in North Missouri
The Reuelle thus rouses the labor army to
great battle of the day and the age:
The free labor movement is making rapid
progress in Missouri. II is sweeping everything
before II, and 1t is certain to annihiate IN We
" short time, the party of aristocratic slavery
propagandisls, who are opposed to its principles.
'Fhe people are determined to clear tue way for
the progress of the grand movement, which
has already accomplished much for the material
prosueritv Of the State

JUD0E PACK OF ScIoTo.-This gentleman has
been spoken of as suitable candidate for Su-
Preme Judge. OF his qualifications, and avail
ibility there is no doubt and indeed the man
and his location are eminently fitted for the
occasion. Recently it has been said that he
would be candidate for Congress in his dis
trict. A friend who is posted, assures US that
he is not candidate for Congress, and his
name may properly come before the conven-
ton 1t seems 10 be right that the Judge this
year, should be taken from the south part Of
the Stste.--isktabHla Sentinel
The Hon Caleb B. Smith, of Cincinnati, has
been named in various quarters for nomination
for Supreme Judge. The Cincinnati Gazette
says Mr.. Smith will not be candidate before

MURDER AND SuIcIDE.-It does seem as if
the spirits of the murdereIs from Cain down
had again taken possession of humankind.
The daily record Of murders in various forms is
startling indeed, and crime grows more bold
and bloody by repetition. Nor is it longer pc
cuIiar to the large cities. Quiet villages and
the most rural districts have their full share of
the hoTribles.
