present a source Of embarrassment both
to the party investing and the resident
occupants. Seven-cights Of these par
ties wish to dispose of their investments
they want to sell andwe want neighbor.
Their lands are unsuitable at even s.
per acre on the average, and improved
farms find no purchasers, at IS and sic
per acre. Without the advantages of q
Il. h. the future gives no promise, anG
orr present condition must remain un
altered
With such advantages however you
may expect your land to increase in val
ue, at least five fold; we hope for, AM
expect it. We do not consider this o
mere assertion. The development Of
the great West, by means of her net
work of Railways, justifes our conclu.
sion by facts without number. Our state
ment is no longer speculative ques-
ton, but matter of history. We ven.
ture nothing in declaring that any and
every rational hope will be more than
realized.
You are probably aware that the
greater portion of the lands in this coun.
ty were only brought into market in
May, 1857. In 1855 there were not
more than twenty families in the County
and no considerable settlements were
made until the spring of 1856. But in
the space Of four years, Notwithstanding
two years of general deluge and frost
our products have grown from nothing
o the sum of 80 1000 bushels of wheat;
about the same yield of corn; about
$65,O0O worth of cattle and horses
with pork and other produce in proper
ton.
The taxable value Of the Road and
its appointments when completed
through the county will be some $780,.
600; or more than half of the present
valuation of the taxable property of the
county: which will diminish your taxes
at least one third.
In conclusion We would say that were
we able we would not call upon the land
, ed interest held by non-residents 70,
assis lance: but necessity compels us tc
resort to ibis method. In view of these
f:cts we shall rely upon you, in common
with other non residents, for liberal
donation Of lands, or subscription to tie
stock of the company; believing that oul
mutual interest will induce US to act
promptly; and by securing our indirid-
ual interest, confer benefit upon all
We hope you will consider our appeal
with favor, We have taken the liberty
! Of enclosing to your address blanks; be.
ing release of the right Of way, and a
choice betwcena donation of lands, or
conditional subscription to the stock OF
the Company, witha blank acknowledge
ment. May we not ask your cordial
assistance in this emergency. If you
regard the enterprise with favor, will
you not be kind enough to sign and &C
knowledge the blank as liberaly as your
judgment shall dictate; returning the
blank by mail to J. F. MITCHELL,
New Oregon Iowa.

McGregor have been found on the
premises of one Downing, an un-
whlpt villain of years, now with
several others lying in Jail await

The DEBORAH Republic re-
grets Montgomery's movements
in Kansas, because of the unset
tied state of affairs in the South
That is where the difficulty lies.
The conservatism of the Repub-
lican party is base and hypocritial,
and the South know it. We in
fer that at any other time you
would applaud the internal acts
of Montgomery publicly, as you
now sympathise with him private
~.
While the greatest intellccts Of
the union are absorbed in devising
some scheme to avert the fate
that this mad and fanatical aboli-
ton crusade is impending over us;
while the whole country is about
to be engulphed in one common
ruin, the small-fry politicians of
the land are raising a feeble, and
we trust in effectual voice against
"Compromise." Only think of it,
the leaders Of Republicanism
from their stand point fully conf
pretending the extent Of the evil
already wrought, are anxious to
compromise our difficulties; are
now willing to maintain our con-
stitutional obligations, to the
South, and propose accordingly to
call this "a Compromise"
This movement in favor of sustain
ing the supremacy of the law and
of the constitution has the open
and implied sanction in one forlii
and another of the leaders and
higher law demagogues of the
Republican party, men who now
pause in their mad career, yet
these small-fry either not seeing
OF not careing for the danger,
shout Justify against any more
compromises.
The Chicago Tribune of the
9th inst draws a great deal Of con-
ISOLATION from the fact that a lead
ing House in Memphis, said to be
one of the strongest in the South,
drew upon commission merchant
there for one tn ousand barrels of
-four, and five hundred barrels of
provisions, which order the COM
mission merchant refused to fill.
This may be consoling to the Trio
une nan, but what do our farm
ers who are now drawing their
wheat to the River and selling at
IS to so cents bushel say to it!
can they not see that when the
North and the South cannot traf-
fc, one with the other, that the
loss falls as heavily upon them, as
upon their southern neighbour Of
what benefit they will ask, is a
heavy crop when every bushel of
our surplus produce is marketed
at loss! May not the whole PEG
pie look with alarm and distrust
at the future of our country! may
they not prepare for the most dis
astrous results, when the bare Sue
cess of sectional party, shall,
as in the present instance break
up the channel of trade, and pre-
vent Interchange Of commodities
between the different sections of
the Union.

The financial article in the

rather gloomy prospect for the
future.
Eastern Exchange continues to
advance; the rates to-day at the d,
banks are 8 l-2 and 9 per cent to y
their customers, and 10 per to 81
outsiders The indications now @
are that further advance will be
established tomorrow. We I'M
derstand this afternoon that many
of the heaviest grocery and dry
goods houses are buying produce
and shipping it East in order to "a
make exchange. But at the pres 81

The DEBORAH Republic acuses us Of
q fib in saying that Lincoln's county
did not 60 for him at the recent election,
and boastfully says "wc take the
papers" Well, neigbor, if you do and
read them you have probably learnt
that Lincoln's home is in Sangamon Go.
but perhaps you have not learnt that
his vote there was only 1856 while
Judge Douglas vote in the County was,
1888 thus carrying the county in favor
of Douglas by AZ votes, yet such is the
fact, as shown by the official vote. Now

THE Prince AT THE CINCINNATI BALL The
Cincinnati Commercial gives an amusing de
scriPtion of the Prince at the Opera House Ball
in that city: eA
The Prince danced the first quadrille with Mrs
9. " Pike. the set being formed on the stage
next the footlighs, on the east side Of the stage
The young Englishmen accompanying the Prince,
and few others, had the dance to themselves.
The calling Of figures was dispensed with, and
most Of our folks were lost without the call. Be
sides everybody wanted 10 see how the Prince
than otherwise; indeed we might say 1t was not
well patronised except by spectators.
The second lady with whom the Prince had the
Se n
Matte Taylor, daughter Of Col Taylor Of New
port, with whom be danced and waltIed; the
fourth was Miss Hilton, daughter Of Jndge Hill
Burnet, daughter Of Robert Burnet, Esq; the
sixth, and this completes the list was Miss Helen
McGregOf, Of Mount Auburn. The Prince did
ceeding would have been attended with difficult
ties but they were selected for him by the mana.
gers When the Prince had danced his frst
quadrille on the stage. IL being presumed that be
would dance In the same place, the stage became
thrOnged; and the managers adroitly had the
Prince and his set descend the stairs leading 10
the parqBette, snd'dance there .
This time the Princes quadrille was In the par
quette, close to the footighs in full view of not
only the people in the dress circle, but of the
crowd on the stage. The ladies who danced with
him displayed much self possession and grace.
Only one Of them succeeded In having lively
chat with n. r Fl whose meek dignity was
not at all calculated to promote vivacity, thoug
his eye had a faint gliInmer of mischief His
smile Is very engaging, and he looked few
times az though he felt the reverse of uncomfort-
able He was little perplexed, however, about
what TO do with the ladies after he had danced
with them. The Prince Of Wales leaves a lady
with whom he dances at once to the care of her
friends, but Baron Renffew could not do that
He had TO restore his partners to their parents or
other escorts, and IL must be admitted he was a
little awkward about it.
This was the first ball he had attended in the
United States, and the sensation Of a lady's hand
resting on his arm was novel. The young gentle.
man was dressed richly but simply. He wore an
exquisitely fitting black dress coat a narrow
white cravat, with small tight knot and shori
bows, and dainty standing collar with slightly
rounded corners, light mot whits) vest, with
small round gold buttons, black pants, cut easy
and flowing below the knee, and white kid gloves
(No- at least single strand of fine gold chain
crossed his breast in front Of his vest, and the
bosom Of his shirt, worked In narrow plait was
fastened with small plain pearl studs. His light
hair, slightly inclined to curl is cut so ms to show
the lobes Of his ears and neatly parted before and
behind.
