We translate The following remarks from
L'Epoqus Of October %, spirited journal
10 the French language, recently established
in New York:
seThe Journals Of Washington and the or
gans Of the Democratic party in New York
loudly declaim against the late insurreotion
at Harper's Ferry, the character of which
they endeavor to distort, and then seek to
throw the odium upon tho Republican party.
These tactics would be odious were they not
perfectly ridiculous. How can We suppose
that party that has just achieved in the late
elections victory which gives them virtually
the direction of the affairs Of this country,
would be 30 insensate as to have recourse 70
such schemes, and to employ seventeen whites
and 1--WE negroes to foment civil war, revolt
and sedition in slave StateP Would il not

Railroad Stealing.
On Saturday last Messrs. HOFFMAN, Ben
TON + Co., received large instalment Of
their Spring Stock ola La Crosse Railway
and Grey Eagle. The Goods were con.
tracted in New York for Prairie du Chen
ella the Milwaukee 4 Mississippi Road, Of
course, and no Agent had any authority to
transfer them to = line Of railway which has
no identity whatever with the business Of
our city. The n. IN. R. R. has been very
Obliging to our side Of the river; It has q
character for liberality which is the envy Of
most Of it, rivals, and our merchants do not
fancy the conduct Of those who will watch
points Of transhipment and steal from oar
o,on road what has been specifically bar
gained to travel on it. If the La Crosse
Company have 50 little show for business -
this descent to rstting would imply, they
had best make one more assignment and
then stable their Locomotives.
The N. 4 N. Road, though separated by
the Mississippi, Is emphatically an Iowa
