w Plighted Faith. .

South Cardinals great champion,
Senatar Hammond, talks glibly to the
North about plightcd faith; forgetful
that the South has proved faithless to
her pledges in almost every particu.
lar. Perhaps no instance of this char
acter stands out in boldet reliefTthan
her course with regard to the Pacific
Railroad enterprise. Last year the
administration was authorized to es.
tablish an overland mail line to Cali.
tornia, and justice to the whole Union
would dictate that the mail should GO
over the great central route. The
West at least is too profoundly inter.
ested in having our present commune
cations with the Pacific, and the fu
ture railroad to the Pacific, upon g
central route, to bear with patience
the policy of the Southern cabal in
in these respects, and will never ac-
cede to that policy which dictated last
summers letting of the mail to the
Pacific on the parallel of So which
induced the President, the Secretary
of War, and the Postmaster General,
in their annual communications to
Congress, to make this route for a
railroad special object of recon-
mendation which is at the bottom of
the proposition to establish Terrific
rial Government for Arizona and
which is instigating the efforts that
are being made for another treaty
with Mexico, which shall give us the
line of 800, and the region at the head
of the Gulf of California.
1t is not to be supposed, that the
State of Missouri can be held by the
South, under such course The an
nouncement of the Pacific mail letting
of last summer almost lost her thai
State, and would have done so if made
a month earlier. Followed up as tina
letting has been by the railroad recon
mendations of the President and Cabi
net, and as it will be by the creation
of the Territory of Arizonia, and Other
similar measures looking to the same
object, the hold of the Southern lead
ers upon Missouri, an empire in itself
is gone beyond peradventure. They
understand it so. Nobody believes
that Missouri will yield the point, sc
vital to her, and to which her position
entities her, of being on the line Of
national communications with the Pa.
cific. The multiplying, disunion route
through Arizona, Matched in the hot.
bed of Southern treason, is not the
route which the West, and especially
Missouri, will ever permit to be the
recipient of national patronage Who.
ever favors such route, as the recip-
lent Of such patronage, or affiliates
with those who do favor it, goes down
at theaWest, and especially in Missou-
ri, beyond the hope of resurrection.
In short, the Pacific railroad policy
of the Southern cabal, foreseen as it
must be by them to be fatal to their
political control of the country, is evil
dence that they are aiming at sepa-
rate Confederacy. Political power is
the one thing valuable in their dream
by night, and the sole occupant Of
their waking thoughts. If it escapes
their grasp in the Union as it is, they
will seek it, be the peril what it may,
under the constellation of the Southern
Cross.

A desperate tragedy was lately en-
acted at the State prison in Alton, Hi
nois. A prisoner named Lindsey,
conceived the idea of gaining his free
dom by Selling the guard and fasten-
ing him with himself in his cell, and
then threatening his life unless he
would procure for him a pardon.
1t was some twenty-four hours before
the guard could be liberated, and it
is said that he has since died of his
wounds inflicted by the prisoner. The
prisoner was shot, and is also dead.

greatest natural ornament to the human form
divine, is, unquestionably, fine, luxuri;.nt
and healthy growth of hair. This remedy has
been used quite extensively, and with great
success. Hundreds, nay thousands have used
it, and are willing to testify to its efficacy.
Procure bottle from some one of his agents
here and prove its virtues. Our good old bald
headed bachelor friends should embrace this
opportunity to cover their pates with coat of
rich luxuriant hair and our young friends
who are becoming prematurely gray, can have
their locks restored to their natural beauty by
a few applications of this wonderful tonic.

The State Printing.

We have to thank our able and eff
cient Representative in the Lcgisla-
ture, Hon. M. Nj. Trumbull, for the in
PRODUCTION of bill to publish the acts
of the Legislature in the newspapers.
The bill provides for the publication
of all general laws in two newspa-
fpers in each county in the State,-pro-
tyided of course that there are two pa
pers published in such counties. The
compensation proposed by the bill is
seventy-five cents per thousand ems.
This is small pay, but we can hardly
expect the State to do more at pres
ent, and we incline to the opinion that
the press Of the State Will genevally
accept it. It is believed the bill will
become~a law. ---.----'.---.'-- .r
Mr.. Trumbull'has also presented a
bill requiring County printing to be
done in the paper having the'largest
actual circulation in the County. This
will create an unpleasant strife among
printers, and the condition will often
be violated The passage of the bill
is uncertain.
