The work Of laying the iron on the Rail-
road between Agency City and this City is
being prosecuted with the greatest vigor, and
is completed at this time to Coperas Creek,
within three miles, and will be finished to
Sugar Creek this week. The Sugar Greek
bridge has been some days in Burlington,
and will be on the ground ready to put up,
as soon as the construction trains can run
to the creek, in few days. The grading is
finished to the Depot grounds, and large
force is now employed upon the tracks and
and side-tracks over the grounds. Next
week we understand that Mr.. Phillips will
be at work upon the grading between the
Depot and the Pier. The Officers of the
Company assure us that the cars will posi-
lively run through to this City by the 18th
of August. Huzza fol the Cars!

The near approach of the railroad to the
city, is exerting a preceptible influence upon
the externals of things at least. Business has
revived very considerably. There is brisk
enquiry for houses and much more than for
some time past, for lots. New faces are
noticed on our streets, indicating an increase
of population. Travel too, is setting in with
a strong tide. On the whole, we incline to
the opinion, that the good time coming to
Ottumwa, is near at hand. ... ..s.r,
On the completion of the railroad, in a
few days, we hear of numerous branches of
business to be opened upon large scale.
Several Lumber Yards with heavy stocks,
will be opened immediately. Two or three
Livery Stables are making arrangements to
meet an expected demand in this line Sta
ging will be business of no insignificant
Importance, as the Western Stage Company
arc aware. Three daily lines of four horse
coaches, run from here now, and it is expec-
ted that more may be Unnecessary. In general
merchandise we hear of arrangements on the
part Of our dealers to lay in for the fall trade
very large supplies of all Staples, Groceries,
Salt, Iron, Nails, &C., as well as Dry Goods
Of all kinds. .... .,..- FL.
This will be the point, too, to deal in pro-
ducc; to ship cattle, Hogs, Wheat, Flour,
and other surplus productions ofthe immense
and fertile region around us. .s....
81 On the whole we think we may count upon
busy times in Ottulnwa this fall and winter,
and from this time on, and it is time our
citizens were convinced of the fact and pre-
pairing for it. .,, .. .... .r............

AUsrRIA.-Austria is composed of seven
teen provinces, each governed by special
laws. In each province there is an annual
assemblage of the Stand or property hol-
ders, who propose changes to the general
government at Vienna. These resolutions
are modified if need be and made to harmo-
nize with the regulations in the other provi
ences. Local selfgovernmcnt exists in all
the provinces. The Senate at Vienna con-
sists of one representative from each PROV
ince. There are three hundred schools for
the education of teachers only. Exclusive
of Hungary there are 44,555 unive sites,
colleges, high and elementary schools; Is
schools for the fine arts; AZ industrial
schools, acadimies for the higher branches
of industry; l6 academies for the cultivation
of the forests and mining; II nautical
schools. Exclusive of Hungary, the whole
number of professors and teachers, 10000
subject to uniform laws. Every regiment
has its military schools, private and COVER
mental. The army on war footing is 1885,
900, divided into II army corps.

/ The PELLA GAzETrE.-We have received
and welcome with pleasure to our exchange
list, a handsomely printed and well sustained
sheet from Pella, bearing the above title. It
is under the editorial control Of Col. Fl. p.
Scholte and is published by S. U. Ham
mond, Esq. The Republican banner floats
at the mast head of the Gasctte There is a
history connected with this enterprise SO in
teresting that, after wishing the Gazette and
its conductors success, we will present to our
readers portion Of Col. Scholte's opening
address to the public:
Resumng the editorial part of the pe,Ia Gozette in
connection with the Republican Party, consider it
necessary to meet directly statement circulated by
democrats, that have changed my political princ.
pies by taking an active part in the Republican State
Convention of June 22d, 1852 The principal reason
for that statement is to counterfeit aud diminish if
possible The influence which my present position can
produce upon other citizens, who have like myself
since the last Presidential election voted with the
democrats consider it no dishonor for any man to
change his political principles If he becomes conyip-
ced that they were wrong, on The contrary should
deem 1t dishonorable to hold fast principles of
government for paity's sake, when man is in con-
science convicted that those principles are wrong
hope that good many democrats who have, at pres
ent, such conviction shall have the manliness and
courage to rePudiate party, who abuse the name of
democrat for the sole purpose of holding and abusing
the reins OF our national government. For my part,
however, have in my present osition not to aban-
don deny or sacrifice any political principle The on
ly difference with me is, that being convinced from
experience Of about three years. that genuine de-
ciple and adherent OF HENRY CLAY can never become
identified with the called Democracy, without sac
rifcng every honest conviction contrary to the be-
hests of the domineerng politicians upon the alter of
so called party interest," and not prepared to stoop
low as that, there was other way for me but to
leave that party.
Once more feel at home in my political connec-
tion and my purpose is to advocate before prin-
ciples aud measures which will certainly be accor-
ding to the taste of a pro-slavery democracy, but
which are, according to honest and well dgested
conviction, conclusive to the peace and happiness Of
our beloved country. believe the Republican party
as at present organized will sustain and carry out
those paincirles and therefore will work faithfully
in its ranks in County, State and Union.

The Hungarian Movement.

Letters from Hungary state that the whole
country is inundated with procla,natons
from Kossuth, in which he says:
Six days before the catastrophe Of Vlagos
when Ruscia and treason forced the heroic
Hungarian people to down their glorious
arms, ! spoke to you for the last time ]
have been silent during ten long and painful
years. But thank God! the moment has
now come at which ] can again raise my
voice, and call the brave Magyar nation to
arms to fight for the liberty Of Hungary. l
bring to you my two sons, whom the tiger
Haynau the precise Hungarian epithet used
is stronger than this, and cannot be transla-
ted, eorged with the carnage, sent to me,
not thinking for what work of vengeance |
should bring them up
+ In his proclamation Kossuth never speaks
of Austria, bat always Of the House or Haps-
burg. He declares that the expulsion OF
that dynasty is the mission of the Hungari-
an nation. He says that he shall be sup
ported by power which ten years aeo re
placed the House of Hapshurg on the throne
and that power is now engaged in carrying
its arms against the Hapsburgs He then
says e 9l5 Ts."a .au .ss g..
Rise. Magyars! Sacrifice your crops! Let
them be trampled under foot to the last blade
by your friends and your enemies. swear
to you by the God of the Magyars, that |
will enrich your soil for a thousand years,
whilst re-conquering Hungarian liberty!
Gen. Napka has also issued short proc
la,nation to the Magyars, calling on them to
take up arms and display the national colors
Among other things he says.
In the hand of the Magyar every scythe, as
well as every musket, is a weapon. Assem-
ble under my command, avenge all the Mag.
vars who were assassinated by the Hapsburgs
especially the great Louis Bathiany-and
rcconquer the old Hungarian liberty!

On the 25th of February, 1854, A.C.
Dodge (being at that time Senator from
the State of Iowa. made a speech in the
United states Senate upon the Kansas Ne
braska bill, in which he refers to the Will
mot Proviso and the Fugitive Slave Law, as
follows
Iowa is the only free State which never
for moment gave way to the 'Wilmot Pro-
viso. My colleague, [G.W. JONES', who
never lodges responsibility, or fails to pre-
form duty, voted for every one of the COM
promise measures in all their phases, stages
and condition, including the Fugitive Slave
Law-the late Senator Sturgeon of Pensy-
vania, and ourselves being the only three
Senator's from the entire non-slavc holding
section of this Union who voted for it,
See page IA of Dodge's speech on the Kan
saS Nebraska Bill
Here we see Gen. Dodge boasting in the
Senate of the United States that under Dem
ocrate management Iowa was the only free
State that failed to stand by the Wilmot
Proviso, which was intended to exclude sla-
very from the Territories. The same speech
shows, as we shall show at some other time
that Gen. Dodge not only opposed the Will
mot Proviso, but that he also holds it to be
unconstitutional to exclude slavery from the
Territories.
One of the mcanest things exhibited by
the above quotation, is that wherein the
General boasts that among all the Senator'S
from the free States, only three could be
found who were so lost to all sense of Justice
and propriety, as to vote for a bill the provis-
ions of which required their constituents to
turn out and catch negroes for southern ar
ristocrats, and that he was one of the three.
Only three Senators from all the North
could eat dirt enough to vote for the
Fugitive Slave law, and one of them now
asks the people of Iowa to make him their
Governor. Surely this is adding insult to
injury. The people of Iowa want no such a
man to occupy the Executive chair of this
State.-Fair1feN Ledger.

The Slavery discussion which has been
carried on in our columns for considerable
period, is drawing to close. Two more
articles from Republican will close 1t. We
had another article from Mr.. Fowler, but
shall be under the necessity of declining it..
We gave Mr.. Fowler the use of our columns
to an unlimited extent so long as he chose to
occupy them, until as we supposed he was
through. We admire the modcSty of Mr.. F.
but we don't think it will be profitable to
continue this discussion any longer.
lfthc above reasons for declining Mr. F.'s
communication are not satisfactory, we will
add that the article is too Extensively person
al to suit our notions of propriety, but as that
is a matter of taste with Mr.. F. more partic-
ularly, we should not decline on that ground,
We are now in the midst of most impor-
tant canvass, due attention to which de-
mands good share of our space, and must
have it. The war news, too, is voluminouS
and important, and local matters are claim
ing more and more ofour attention. SO that
everything considered we shall be compelled
to request the indulgence of orr Blakesburg
friends until after election at least, when, if
they have any more ammunition unexpended,
we shall with pleasure, give them further
opportunity to fire off through our columns.
We are in favor of discussing the Slavery
question. 1t needs it; but there is such
thing as too much of a good thing. Give
the public little time to digest, ana they
may hunger for more, by and by. .....
