II. Zoller and J. T. Croft a Committee to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of
this meeting.
The Committee made the following re-
port:
WHEREAS, We, as citizens of Saratoga,
feel deep interest in all railroad enterprises
pointing to the Missouri river, and particu-
larly being interested in any roads which
may terminate at, or come to the city of
Council Bluffs, whose interests are nearly
identical with our own; and 45l
WHEREAS, Efforts are now being made to
raise the means to construct road from
Council Bluffs to st. Joseph, NO.; therefore
RESOLVED. That We hail with joy any and
all efforts which may tend to bring about
the result of speedy communication by
railroad with eastern cities.
RESOLVED, That we believe the route from
Council Bluffs to st. Joseph to be one of
the best in the United States, and that a road
when built will pay fair dividend to the
stockholders.
Resolred, That We have until recently had
entire faith in the intentions Of the Mississippi
pi and Missouri Railroad Company, relative
to a speedy construction of their road to the
Missouri River; we are now reluctantly for
ced to fear that that Company is not disposed
to complete their road as early as has bv
them been stated, or as soon as they could
and ought to do.
Resolred, That if said NJ. & NJ. R. R. Co.
shall continue to neglect the construction Of
their road westward rs per agreement, we
as citizens of Douglas county, Nebraska,
shall be in favor of resembling vote here
tofore cast in this county, granting certain
county bonds to aid in the construction of
said road.
On motion, Resolred, That the following
named persons be appointed as delegates to
represent the citizens of Saratoga in the
Railroad Convention to be held in Council

any part of it over one foot per mile. There
will not be curve in this distance, of great

LETT alone in this matter-every person IN
terested, land who is nota) should lendthen
/ helping hand. The most unqualified -
surancss wers given y the delegates pres-
sent at the Convention, from Mills, Fremont.
and Pottawattamis counties, in this State,
and from Otoe and Douglas counties IN Ne
braska, that the citizens Of their respective
counties were disposed to render this project
every assistance in their power. Let those
promises but be made good, and the Road
will It once be placed upon foundation
beyond the reach of even . possible failure,
or protracted delay. That those assurances
can be made doubly sure. We entertain not
. doubtful we would counsel concert of
action and concentration of resources,
without delay-it is our only hope and
should not be neglected. FINALLY, as We
have resolved to build the Road-as We have
declared to the world, that the "resources
for the construction of such road, are with
in the counties to be traversed. and the
country adjacent"-a we have declared that
eve are determined upon its completion and
equipment at an early day"-let not our ac-
tons belle our words. Satisfied that the
Directors of the company will use every ex-
ertion to live up to the manifesto Of the Con-
vention-"that the road must and will
be built at an early day"-we here take &C.
casion to say, that we shall soon expect to
receive from the Superintendent of the road,
a"dead-head" ticket, and that we'll 6ndit
! pleasant riding on Rail"

with the flag of the Union at her mast head, .
when the fact is, he and his comrades left
old "Ironsides" long ago, and shipped on u
fat-boat. CoBB, JEFF. DAVIS and others,
"sparred" it, rugged it ship-shape, hired an
old Pennsylvania pilot, who agreed to steer
any way to suit the owners-then wheedled
and whiskied these men into smelling
mood" aud coaxed them to sign the articles
for cruise.
When rough weather came on, the old
thing sprung leak, and Gall hands" we're
called to take in sail and s'pump ship" but
the sharpest of the crew mutinied, took the
long-boat and put off. The poor fellows
who stayed have had hard time of it. No
Swatch and WATCH" but call hands on
deck" night and day, and plenty Of pump
ing and reefng. No wonder their brains
are turned. No wonder they fancy them
selves safely moored in peaceful haven,
when, with leaky hull. shivered spars and
tattered canvas, they ore drifting helpless
ly and hopelessly upon the breakers of ruin.
They have called US hard names Uncle Jed.
"disunionists" and "pirates'- we'll ex-
ercise spirit of forgiveness, and give them
funeral honors. Then we'll pick up that
long-boats crew, who are worn out with
hunger and fatigue, and with an honest old
tar at the helm, and the flag of American
liberty floating DER US, we'll weather the
shoals of tyranny and the breakers of dis
union, and sail in safety over the stormy
ocean of self-government. Get your ssdun-

a good berth. Give my love to Aunt Phoebe,
