Railroad Matters.

We have received a letter from the Pres
ident of the jefferson City and Neosho Val
ley Railroad, in which he informs US that
5 great meeting of helcisizens of Missouri
aud Kansas viii be held at Upton. Nilsson
ri. on the eIst of september, to inauguraIe
the Usage Valley and Southern Kansas
Railroad, and to break ground at that time
and place at the junction of the roads with
the Pacific Railroad, and that a Union meet
ing viii be held at the junction of the above
named roads on the State line in Linn Coun-
ty, Kansas, on the 9th day of October next.
The Engineers of the Two roads are engag
ed in the surveys of the roads and during
this month will have a joint survey to To-
cate the road in Bates County, Missouri.
and Linn County Kansas. The first section
of the road in Missouri and Kansas, from
Upton to Versailles, and from the State line
to Moneka will probably be put under con-
tract this fall. Advertisements have already
been issued for proposals for the grading
and masonry work. A meeting Of the
members OF the Committee appointed at the
Southern Kansas Railroad Convention held
at Garnett in June, to memorialize Congress
for grant of land for Railroads, has been
called 10 be held at Moneka on the 9Th dav
of October, at O'Clock, P M. 1t is hoped
that every member will be present and that
every county south of the kaw river will

Washington City to see after some arrange
ments in regard to an improvement of our
mail facilities and also to attend to some
matters pertaining toa grant of lands tor

Motto for the Democrats.

OF course we don't want to s'intrude"
upon the management of the canvass being
made by our Democratic brethren in this
Territory; but really, we don't like to see
them lose a good opportunity to six bayo-
nets and charge home'' upon those desper-
ate Black Republicans as Judge Johnson
feelingly remarked at Topeka; and so we
are led to suggest that they adopt as mot
to Gov. Shannon's patriotic, feeling, and
truly Democratic remark made to Mrs. Bar
Der, near Lawrence, in the summer of 1856.
Mr.. Barber was a rebellious Free State
man. He would speak his sentiments, and
fright out in meetin,'' too. This was con-
trary to the bogus Statute. the ''isothermal
line," and the Organic Act. So one fine
day the Governor sailed out from Lecomp-
ton at the head of posse of about twenty
claw and Order Missourians to look af-
ter this rebellious Barber. But they didn't
find him at home as they had anticipated, at
which the Governor waxed exceedingly
wroth, and after storming around very flu
riously for several minutes, approached
Mrs Barber and shaking his fist in her face
said in thunder tones-''By Cd, madam
If a0e find your Cd id husband aDe
aOiW hang and quarter him by CDR
Soon after this the Gov took himself off
and about the next thing we heard from
him he was President of the Democratic
Convention at Topeka

Letter from Missouri
T1proN Mo-. August 18Th 1859.

FRIEND SToTLER:-Our s.conyentions''
are ended and the Road is to be commenc-
ed. Great demonstrations of rejoicing are
made here, and general enthusiasm pre-
walls. Firing of cannon greeted US on our
arrival here in the day, and added to that,
the hurrahs of the people, and ascent of
balloons, the playing of music and the
lipbting of bon6res in the night, demonstra-
ed to us that The people of Upton appreci-
ated the magnitude of the work and of its
immense importance to them.
And when the committee appointed for
that purpose, at the meeting of the Board
at Clinton, returned last evening with the
news that the citizens of Boonville and
Cooper county, had .sResolued. that they
would heartily cooperate with the Usage
Valley and Southern Kansas" Railroad
Company in extending their road from Tip
ton to the Missouri River, making Boon
vile terminus, their enthusiasm broke out
afresh and the hoarse lips of the old can
non were made to utter again the great
thoughts of the age, and to declare that
Railroads are better thermometers of men
than '.leaden rain and iron hail''-and that
the memory of Railroad presidents with
their Board of Directors shall out-live the
bloody power of ."conquerors and their gen
erals and that the prairies of the West
shall be more glorious in their Railroad mu-
niicence, than the glories of the East with
their blood stained memories of deadly
conflict and cited confagrations-an that
he is greater benefactor of the race who
blesses mankind with Railroads than he
who engages in human butchery or mar
shals mighty hosts for general devastation.
The proper authorities of the whole road
have. after due elaboration, appointed the
twenty-sixth of September as the time to
''break ground" at Upton, and the sixth of
October TO make a commencement of the
ends of each road at the State line. At both
these meetings able speakers have been in
vited and good time is expected.

Jackson county. Mo-, is fast losing its
slave characteristics. It is ascertained that
the slave population has decreased IL per
cent. during the last year, while the white
population has increased more rapidly than
ever before. Kansas City. Independence
and Westport, are in Jackson county. II
is much the same all over Missouri. Free
labor is advancing. while Slave labor is re-
treating before it.

In Kentucky the Opposition undertook to
out Herod the D emocracy in their devotion
to Slavery extension. They failed misera-
bly,. rs they deserved to. In Tennessee they
took the opposite course and gained inn
mensely, elec.ing seven members of Con-
gress out of ten. Their candidate for Cover
nor. Col. Netherland, was ultra pro-slavery,
and was beaten out of sight by the Demo
crat, Harris.

THERE'S NOTHING LOST


There's nothing lost The tiniest flower
That grows within the darkest vale,
Though lost to view, has still the power
The rarest perfume to cxhalc;
That perfume, borne on zcphyr's wings,
May visit some lone, sick ones bed,
And like the balm affection brings,
Twill scatter giadness round her head.
There's nothing lost. The drop of dew
That trembles 1.-THE rosebad's breast,
Will seek its homo of ether blue,
And fall again as pnre,and blest,
Pcrchance to revel in the spray,
Or moisten the dry, parching sod,
Or mingle in the fountain spray,
Or sparkle in the bow of God
There's nothing lost. The seed that's cast
By careless hands upon the ground,
Will vet take root and may at last
a green and glorious tree be found;
Beneath its shade, some pilgrim may
Seek shelter from the heat at noon,
Wlrile in its boughs the breezes play,
And song-hirds sing their sweetest tune.
There's nothing lost The slightest tone
Or whisper from loved ones voice,
May melt heart ofhaTdest stone,
And make the saddened heart rejoice.
And then, again, the careless word
Our thoughtlesS lips too often speak,
May touch heart already stirred,
And cause that troubled heart to break.
There's nothing lost. The faintcst strain
OF breathing from some dear ones lutte,
In Uncyuory's dream may come agnin,
Tho every mournful string be mute.
The music of some happier hour
The harp that SwellS with loves own words
MAY thrill the soul with deepest power,
