The people must "repose little conf
dence in the Company" else we see 'sno way
how our road can be built" Good-them's
our sentiments. "We think we can place
confidence in the promises of the company
[good again. and are in favor Of extending
to them all the aid promised them on our
part" Thrice good. Our neighbor held
this language, because the Company had
promised. if the Bonds were issued, to '.le,
tho work in this county, and push it forward
with reasonable dispatch to completion
The caution in the last sentence, there is no
mistaking-it is both we'll timed and true.
Has it not no,o "come home to roost?" We
think it has. After enumeratin- the advan-
tages Of commencing work at this point, he
says-"lf We want all these things, we will
cease our croaking about the "danger of
issuing the bonds" and act in good faith
towards the Company, by giving the aid
promised"
If the editor of the Bugle would follow
out his own advice, and sCEASE HIS
CROAKlNG," all would be right. We have
quoted extensively from the files of our
neishbor, and think if our readers will read
the extracts carefully, they can come to no
other conclusion, than that we have convict
ed the pleading spirit Of our Railroads." Of
Shocking two ways for Sunday" 1t is a
beautiful record, and consistent throughout
in its j3,ra, 81 sfe7,eU.

The WORD is commence" all the while
there is no proviso for the completion Of the
road through the County, within specified
time. Now, we come to the 18th of Sept.
1858, and we find lfe-like picture of the
present condition of the great Mogul. If it
amt capitally drawn, we are wofully mis-
taken. Read this paragraph, and contrast
/ it with the two last numbers of the Bugle,
and with the speech made by Mr.. BABBlTT,
at Concert Hall:
The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1858-11-06

Our "over. cautious citizens' becoming
s:almost insane when the subject of issuing
the Bonds is mentioued," is capital-it ap-
plies with 'full force" to the present condi-
ton OF We great Mogul. Great is the lead
ing spiri, Of our Railroads! We have al
ready extended this article to greater
length than we at first contemplated, but, at
the risk of boring our readers, we give be-
low the remainder of the Bugle's article of
Sept. 18th. Read it carefully, it is rich,
when taken in connection with the article in
the last number Of that ine-serving"
sheet.

Hard 10 Please,

Nothing whatever eminating from
Mr.. Buchanan's Administration is
satisfactory to the leading presses of
the opposition. The President was de-
nouncod, a short time before troops
were ordered to Utah, for neglecting
to use the power of the Government
to crush the Mormon rebellion. No
sooner did he adopt measures to re-
store order'in the disafected Terrific.
ry, than volumes of curses were Law
ish upon him and the Democratic party
ofthe country, because of his energot-
ic action in the matter. The fact is,
the Republican leaders arc every
where driven to desperation. Their
miserable schemes Of public and pri-
vate plumber have been met at every
step by the Democracy, and generally
defeated. They have been driven
from platform toplatform, until, salts
fled that there is no hope for them in
the advocacy ofany positive set fprin-
ciples, they have settled down into a
naked opposition to the Democratic
party. Their business is, and will be
in future, to be displea8ed with every
thing eminating from q Democratic
Administration or endorsed by a Dem
ocratic Convention. In coming time
let it be understood, there will be nc
difficulty in determining the position
Iof the Republican party. Its leader;
will wait in every instance to ascertain
the ground taken by the Democr acy
upon any given question. The Re
publicans will simply be-on the 9th

Raising Chickens and Turkeys

and head. At the end Of three or four
weeks, l give the chickens a greasing
like the one l gave the mother, only
not on the breast, and have no more

Any sort Of soft grease will do;lard OF

of his men told him that his red oxen

his hide and take it down to Fletch-

and his mate were both dead.

debt that | never expected to get. 1t
is lucky that it amt the brindles.--
Take the hides down to Fletcher's ;
they will be as good as cash"
In about an hour the man came
back to inform him that the nigh
brindle was dead.
SIS hel" said the Old man; "well,
lie was a very old OK. Take off his
hide, and take it down to Fletcher's;
it is worth more than either of the

herself the office of Eliphaz, ropri.

let us raise a good crop of IDEAS
While You are farmers, remember that
you are men with duties and respon-

You are brought into immediate

tion. You cannot get of the buzz Of

wonder working wires and the rumble

One hundred and eighty generations

STEAMBOAT ON RUNNERs.-A Mr.. Weard,
of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has the credit of inventin
a machine to be propelled over ice by steam.
1t is thus described "The machine is to be
built like the deck of steamboat, with chains,
pilot-house, &C., and fixed upon trucks or run
ners of sufficient height that the deck and
machinery may clear the body of snow that may
be upon the ice the trucks or runners being
made of iron to have sufficient strength, and yet
oppose but little surface resistance in passing
through the snow. The deck is caulked. and
has bulwarks of sufficient height to make it
selfsupporting boat if in the water, and on the
deck is cabin of sufficient capacity to carry
one hundred passengers, wish berths, if for a
long journeys, offices, pllot-house, and at the
stern an engine room containing engine, boiler
and most of the machinery. 1t is propelled by
twobelts of India rubber passing fore and aft
under the deck, over pulleys, driven by the en-
gine, and to the bolts which run parallel to and
near each other, there are connected dogs OR
poles inelining upward from the ice to the belts
at an angle toward the bow, and while one Is
passing from front to rear, the other is
dragging to the front, and so act alternately
making tracks once in forty feet, or more than
the length of the BELTS
