West Union.-T'he Pioneer contains letter
from Hon. Tim Davis TO Jno. Thompson, Esq,
that there was little doubt Of the passage Of the
McGregor Railroad rfe-emption Bill. that
Senator Jones will support it and that there is
no use Of any Lobby member there at this time.
1t seems however that Mr.. ID. was not posted
very wcll-the Committee on Public Lands
did not report our Bill, as he predicted, and the
probability is, it has gone to the tomb Of the
Capulets.
The Pioneer gives favorable account Of
the United Brethren and the Methodist Pro-
tracted Meetings of West Union. The Preach
ers of all denominations assist each other and
much good is the result.
