Stntc Aid TO Railroads.

This is nearly as important reason fol
converting the extra session Immediately Is
the first one. Our State at present possesses
no thoroughfarc from the Mississippi to the
Missouri. Missouri south Of US, and Min
nesota north Of US, are both pushing thcii
railroads west, and within ayear one of them
vii. be completed. If we have no thorough
faro across our State, We cannot expect tina;
the great through travel to the Pacific will
pass through our State or that we shall
share any Of the immense trade connected
herewith. If we allow these States to &C!
the start Of US IN this matter, we may c1-
poet that they will keep it, and that our
own State will remain secondary and unpro-
grcssive.
We need not at this time give an opinion
on the ACCESSIBILITY Of affording State aid to
railroads. That is n natter to be discussed
mt the Convention and afterwards by the
legislature, by whom the whole matter has
to be referred to the people. We do how
ever give it as our opinion, that 1t will be
most rational to convene the Legislature right
away, conceiving that it is the height of np-
athletic folly when such momentus interests
are at stake to leave the State without IN
operative executive. 49,
By all means have an extra session, or the
rights Of the people will be bartercd away
by those who hold their conclavcs ut every
hour and in every section.-keok'uk Post.

With the yellow fever raging with viz
ulcncc all around us,it is but natural that we
should partake, in some small degree, OF the
infection, and thus rendered unable TO bring
our ideas to focus upon anything else
This must account for the pauc;ty Of sub
iects treated in this number. Knowing that
our readers had no eyes and no ears for any
thing but the ''latest news from the mines
knowing that they heard Of nothing, saw
nothing and would read nothing, but "gold
news" We have treated them to boun'ifui
supply OF crude matter for digestion else
where in our issue Of to-day. We have
hopes that, ere the close of another week,
the community, as well as ou'sclf, will have
somewhat mastered the "yellow fevcr," and
recovered, in n great degree, its usual scren-
ity Of mind Then, and in that case, VIC
will try and give them something to digest
besides gold. We don't know, as this is
necessary, for, from recent observations,
we had almost come to the conclusion, that
the people Of this city, were considerably on
the Ostrich order--could digest metals
(more especially gold) with rs great facility
rs they could "hasty plate Of soup"

M. 4 NJ Rniirond--work Commenced in Pow
cshick County.
BY letter received in this city yesterday,
from Hon. J. Is. GRINNELL, We learn that the
County Bonds Of Powcshick County have
been issued to tn above Company, and Tint
in consequence work has already b, On com
menced within said county. We learn fur
ther, from the Montczuma Republican, that
"Mr. Price, on behalf of the Company, gave
Bond in the sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the faithful perform.
nnce of the contract as set forth in the
Proclamation Of the County Judge. The
County Judge refused to take the company
rs security for the fulillment Of the contract,
whereupon the Bond was signed by some
twonty odd of the most reliable citizens OF
the county. The contract sets forth among
other things, that the Road is to be compile.
ted and in running order ten miles within
cha county Of Powcshiek within eighteen
months from the Goth Of November, 1858,
and that the company wW pay the first tro
instollments Of interest-sl0,0 Oo-on the
Bonds. There was no provision in the Proc
lama,ion Of the County Judge compelling
the company to pay the interest accruing on
tho Bonds for the first year, but in view OF
tho fact that no provision had been made for
tho levy and collection of tax for that
purpose, it became necessary for the Com
pany to pny the interest or 60 without the
Bonds---thc Couny Judge refusing to enter
into writings upon any other condition. As
there WIS no other alternative, Mr.. Price
ncccdcl to the proposition, and the contract
WINS closed upthe Judge agreeing to rcscind
the whole contract within twenty days, pro-
viled tho Company so desired. The fact Of
the company having agreed to pay the first
two nstallmcnts of interest will accomplish
much in appcasing the wrath and illfccling
Of the opponents of the loan, and will event
ually nurc to the benefit Of the managers of
the Rnni,
"Mr. Price gave assurances that work
would he commenced n, once upon the Road,
and that il was the intention of the Compn-
ny TO have it completed at the earliest day

The most interesting piece of Congressional news
which we have lately heard is the announcement
that on Thursday last the Congressional Globe re-
porters struck for higher wages and have since re-
fused to report the speeches of honorable Senators
We hope the strike will continue, and that the re-
porters IN the other house will follow suit Even
temporary cessation of ''reports of speeches" will
be a relief to the country There is no species of
literature not even the yelow-covered kind which
is hawked about at hotels and railway stations
which is half so corrupng to the tastes and morals
OF the people, as the speeches of members of Con-
gress. Their publication and distribution is not
only heavy and useless tax on the government
but has been the means of keeping alive spirit of
''envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitabeness''
in the hearts of the people of the North and the
South. Constant Misrepresentation of each others
characters, and aspersions of each others motives
constitute the chief staple of the eloquence of Con-
gressmen, and the burden of one-half of the
speeches which are delivered in either WING of the
Capitol. These ebulltions of party rancor or Sec
tional hate are reported verbatim by the Globe re-
porters, printed in that newspaper, and afterwards
re-pubshed in pamphlet FORM and scattered
through the country. In great cities they are sell
dom read, and therefore may not do much HARM
By country fresides, however, in inland towns and
villages, and in rural homes, they find attentive
readers, and tend greatly TO influence popular opn-
ion. We rejoice, therefore, to hear that even for n
single day the supply has been stopped and tbouoh
Senators may reve each other, and each others
constituents to their hearts content, the poison of
their words will reach no further than themselves

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

'Caparisons are odorous'' says Mrs. Maaprop
and we shall therefore refrain from insttuting any
between the opera which we had last February at
the HOLIDAY STREET and that which we heard on
Saturday night at the FRONT STREET. Without I'M
dertaklng to compare GAzzANIGGA with LA GRANGE
OF AAopio Win GAssIER, it is enough to say that
both are great artists and that the performance of
IL" ifdo'"d on Saturday night gave entire satsfac-
ton to the audience. As we have before binted
'erui Is not iaVorlte composer with us He lacks
both the heaven-oorn genius and the artistic exce
fence OF the great masters OF the lyrical drama We
do not therefore rank him in the same catao,o,
Mozart and Meyerbeer, with Rossin and pon;.:
He is rather sort of musical Dumas who will oo,
pose the music of opera, in the same t;mo A..
the latter would probably write the bre,o H.
James ''last novel," La Trayiata is vor5;,.
1ast great Masterpiece it is so described At loo,.
in the play bills. Without mooting the ouast;on
how far any of Verdi's compositions NAV dosorvo
to be thus called capo d opera, we must conccde
that La 1rdrtdta Is one OF the most pleasing of his
works. The music-we not speaking now of tho
plots BETTER purer and less meretricious than that
of most OF his operas 1t is neither noisy nor heavy
but light and airy, and in no wise dependent
for the favorable impression which it prodpces
upon those scenic effects adventitious helms and
cap-trap contrlvances, to which this composer On
frequently has recourse. The Instrumentation
throughout is excellent even to the degree of rem
resenting with singular fidelity the exact air To
which dose of medicine may be called for nv q

Schiedam gin bottle. The Opera contains, PERTAINS
no very striking passages but it is because the plot
gives rise to no very dramatic situations If there
are no musical cmaxes, it is for the simple reason
that there climaxes in the story. 1t is there
