GREENSBORO, ALA, Sept. 1859.
DEAR EDITREss Have you been reading
our heartthoughts? Do oulbreathingideas
float themselves oil on zephyrs' wings? If
not, how 10 you learn the thoughts that agi-
tate the great deeps of our beingS How
suit your advice to each-deepening impress
sions, forcing conviction, strengthening feeble
resolves? 1t may be that spirit m
with spfrit-perhaps there come, at times,
impressions to utter some sentiment, and you
know not for whose beneft-or, more prob
ably, your remarks are prompted by a deep,
thorough and discriminating knowledge of
human nature, which teaches you what ele-
ments are essential in a well formed charac-
ter, and how by your writings it is necessary
to foster these elements, or combine them in
those removed from your immediate influence.
You advocate writing-composition-by
those who are unskilful and unpractised;
and il would seem that no employment can
be more delightful, when 'thoughts that
breathe and words that burn bring to light
the hidden treasures of the soul. But should
one attempt to write when the fountains of
beauty arc deep, deep in the heart, so that
we catch not even a bright ripple from the
sparkling surface When we feel our inabil-
ty to utter the beantifulthoughts that fill our
own hearts with so much pleasure, or to i'm
age forth the glorious visions that CLEAN on
the spirits eyes, think you that the pen may
be taught to body forth these thought-pic-
tures? Aye, it does seem that there is a
magnetic influence, an almost inspiration.

WATER AND RUM.-f men could And the
tabled fountain that is said to restore youth,
and health, and beauty, with what eagerness
they would rush to drink its waters! Yet
with scarcely less eagerness do they rush to
drink of waters that bring upon them pre-
mature old age and disease, and loathsome
ugliness.

Three Persons over Niagara Falls.

The report that three persons were car
ried over Niagara Falls, Thursday after
noon, seems to be fully confirmed. The
Lockport Aavertiser has the following on
the subject:
Yesterday afternoon about one O'Clock,
a man by the name of Rosseau, and a Mr.
Moses and wife started in boat from near
the head of the hydraulic canal at Niagara
Falls, to cross over the river at Chippewa,
when the boat was struck BY gale and
capsized. They were observed by persons
on shore with spy glasses to get into the
boat for safety They were soon carried
by the strong current into the rapids, and
were last seen above the three Sisters"
The wind was blowing gale at tie time,
and the efforts which were commenced for
their rescue could not be completed before
they were hopelessly engulphed in the fatal
waters of the rapids. We learn that
Rosseau was saved from a fate like this
only about year ago, and when rescued
was so chilled as to be entirely helpless.
He is reported by the citizens in his neigh
borhood to nave been a smuggler by oc
cupation. Mr.. Moses was jeweler, and
resided at Chippewa.

villages on the Line Of the
Railroad.

ZALEsBuRGu-Thia place is situated sew
en- miles from Manitow oc-contains popu-
lation of some two hundred-has two
water, ard one steam saw mill, one store,
one blacksmith shop, and one commodious
hotel A large amount of lumber and
shingles is manufactured and sent to mar
ket from here yearly. 1t is pleasant and
healthy location, and as soon as the Rail
road is finished will increase largely in size
and business.
HARRIS CORNERS Situated twelve
miles from Manitowoc, has been built up
within the last two years-has splendid
steam mill, two stores, blacksmith shop,
an elegant church building, and a most
extensive new hotel in course of erection.
This place will grow when the Railroad is
built, as there will be Station there.
MAPLE GROVE CoRSERs-Tbis village
is distant from Manitowoc fourteen miles,
is located in the centre of finely improv-
ed country-contains one hundred popu-
lation-has one tavern, two stores, and
one blacksmith and wagon shop. This
place is also waiting for chance to grow,
and the construction Of the Railroad will
be of great assistance to it, as the farmers
around can land their products and receive
their supplies.
REEDvILLE.-Located eighteen miles
from here, has steam grist and saw mills,
number of new dwellings, one blacksmith
and wagon shop, and church and school
house. 1t bids fair to be large village
when the Railroad is built There is to be
depot here, and the proprietors are men
of enterprise and capital
BRILLToS.-This place is situated on
Spring Creek, twenty-five miles from Man
itowoc-has beautiful location-is sur
rounded by fine farming country, and
many most excellent farms. 1t has a saw
mill, and as soon as the Railroad is COM
pleted will have steam saw and grist mill,
stores and machine shops. The proprietors
will aid the Railroad substantially, and are
anxious for its completion.
We have not space to mention other
prominent points on the Road, but will do
so hereafter.

named James Hawney, on his return from
travels in the East, appeared in the streets
Of London, on rainy day, with queer
notion imported from China, in the shape
Of an umbrella 1t was the first seen in
England, probably in Europe and aroused
such indignation that he was soon sur
rounded by furious mob, who pelted him
with mud for daring to screen his head
and person from the rain. The incident
drew attention to the new machine, which
soon came into universal favor.

and the remainder of said Bonds not so
applied to be paid over in equal proper
tons as the iron shall be laid on each five
miles Of said road from Manitowoc to Men

ResolUed, That whenever the Directors
in said company on behalf of the Village
named by said Village of Menasha, shall
certify to the President and Clerk of this
Village that such contract or contracts as
above mentioned have been made and en-
tered into, and the work on the road com
menced under the same. the said President
shall sign and the said Clerk countersgn
and seal the Bonds OF said Village TO the
amount of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
ana sign TIE coupons or interest warrants
attached to said Bonds down to the date
next after the time of the completion OF
said Road, and no interest shall accrue on
any bonds issued until the full and entire
completion Of said Road, and place the
same in the hands Of the custodian agreed
upon between the parties as soon thereafter
as the said President shall have been no
tilted by said Rail Road Company that an
| that an equal amount in the shares of the
capital stock of said company, and the
bonds of said company TO said village exc
cuted in due legal form, conditioned for
the payment Of the interest and principal
of the bonds Of said village and deposited
in the hands of said custodian.
Resoloed, That the Seventy five thous-
and Dollars of Bonds shall be taken by the
said r. r. Co., and applied according to
the terms Of the foregoing resolutions, and
that whenever the proposition of the village
of Menasha as embodied in said resolutions
shall be accepted by said r. K. Co., then
the said Company shall relinquish, and the
acceptance Of said proposition shall be
deemed REIMBURSEMENT on the part of
said Co., of all and every claim to any fur
ther issue of bonds and voted by this vii
lage under said +. r proposition.
We are informed, and from our knowl-
edge of the sentiments and spirit Of enter
prise of the citizens of Menasha, believe it
to be strictly true, that they did not antic-
ipate that this village would advance to
the Railroad Company less than the sum
$4,000 in Bonds; and, until the action
of the Board of this village, were prepared
to advance the same amount, though much
greater than their proportion, and we have
now no doubt that Menasha, if necessary,
and this village will do the same, will ad-
vance $4,000 of its Corporate Bonds to
said Company, according to the terms and
conditions of the contracts between said
villages and the said company.

A RETURNED Californian reached home

and SIG, 900 in gold coin. Feeling it un-
safe to keep so much money about him,
and suspicious of the honesty of banking
institutions, he determined to bury (which
he accordingly did, without informing any
one of the locality. A few days afterward
he went out riding, when he was thrown
from his horse and instantly killed OF
course no one knows where the money is,
