ling 20 Rock leland. This tboroughfsre,
when completed, is destined to be one Of
she longest produce conveying roads in the
Unien, II will be mech cheaper to ship
grain to Kenosha, and there load it on to
vessels. as Kenosha is fifty miles nearer
Buffalo than is Chicsgo. Her facilities are
good, having warehouses Of large capacity
10 which to store produce if necessary. and
elevators sufficient to handle all the grain
the road can crrry. We hope to see this
work pushed forward to an early compile
ton, a. it will prove of vast importance,
not only to the country through which it
runs, but to this immediate vicinity.
W-Our telegraphic columns this
morning are foil Of matters Of great inter-
est. The first effort to carry out the pet
plans Of Giddings, Garrison. Chase, and 9th
er fanatical members Of the Republican par>
ty, has met signal repulse. Their frat at
tempt at insurrection has failed, and the old
william, murderer and traitor, Ossawattamie
Brown, has met a terrible, but we'll merit
ed death. He and his son were shot down
while engaged in making their arrange
rnents for the utter annihilation Of all the
whites of virgi ia and Maryland. Brown
had undoubtedly intended to have a gener.
al rising of the blacks of that section Of the
South, who would have murdered their
masters, and their masters wives and chill
dren, and pillaged the whole country.
Brown was q most desperate character.
When he passed through this city some
months since with gang Of runaway Ne
proes he made his boasts that his name
would yet ring from North to South, and o.
sawattamie Brown would be terror to the
whole slave holding people. He will never
bother the citizens of the South again with
his idle boasts and thievish propensities.-
Brown has probably been the author OF
more murders and more trouble in Kansas
than any man in the Union, save, perhaps,
Jim Lane. They were o worthy pair. and
should haye been hung without Judge or
Jury long ago.
Had this insurrection transpired one
month since the Republican party would
not have carried State or county in the
whole country. AS it is. it will have stun
ming effect upon their future SUCCESS. and We
hope it will assist in opening the e-es OF
our opposition friends who have been blind
ly led estray by the leaders OF the B'ac.
dia-union party Of the North.

thought, to be e virtue, and then started
for your counting room, but on my way,
me. friend who told me that hereafter,
there would be NO Sunday Democrat
Gentlemen, what ia the reason Have
you succumbed to the ignorence and cant
Of those who assert that because they
think it wrong for them to read . paper on
Sunday, it ,s al.o wrong for me =? Or do
you belong to the same breed Of pups as
the Messrs. Sanders, who not only compel
their printers to set type and work off the
psper on Sunday, but spend portion Of
their own time before and after Church, in
writing locals and squibs in answer to
items in your Sunday issue! Whist right
have you-what right have Addison 4
Alfred Sanders-to require printers to work
on Sunday? That they do work on Sunday
is a fact which cannot be denied. Have
not printers as much right to day OF rest
a. the merchant or carpenter Shame en-
the hypociite who demand Sunday lsbors
Of the printer and shame on you for listen
ing to their cant All the leading jour

Republican, the Dubuque Herald. the Bur-
lngton Gazette and even the Davenport
Der De,,ohrat-all have the sense to &C.
comoda,e the public and give their employ

somebody who can. Yours.

RIMAnKs.-Our correspondent is psrtisu-
larly severe upon US for changing the time
Of issuing our paper from Sunday to, Mon
day morning In order to answer his
questions We must preface with few re-
marks.
When we changed the time Of issuing
our paper from Monday to Sunday morn
ing, we did 60 to obviate the necessity ol
working in our office On Sunday. Before
that change. We fonnd it impossible to in
duce our hands to finish up their work on
Saturday night. 1t being the only s'eeh
dsy night that they could have to them'
selves. they insisted upon their right to
break of work 1t six o'clock, and finish up
on Sunday. This they did invariably. W.
also found that items occurring on Sunday
we're sure to find their way into the Gssett'
columns Monday morning, which necessi
tated not only the hands working. but also
the editors. Taking all these things into
confederation. We determined to change the
day Of issuing our paper to Sunday morn
ing ; which would necessitate the finishing
up of all cur work the night previous
This we accordingly did. although we met
with great opposition from . number ol
mistaken individuals, who thought it awful
to support paper purporting to be issued
on Sunday. The opposition has continued
ever since, and we finally concluded to re-
turn to the first principles. and issue on
Monday morning, although We must con-
fess, We are acting somewhat the part ol
