4 STEAM FERRY AT BuFFALO.-Messrs.
Prudence 4 Ruby Of Buffalo township in
this county, propose establishing . Steam
Ferry between Buffalo on the Iowa side, and
Andausia on the Illinois side These gentle.
men are not able to furnish the entire amount
necessary to purchase boat, and they are
therefore compelled to call upon our citizens to
subcrbe to the enterprise. Let 10 see in what
way the subscribers will realize the amounts
they donate.
The Edgiugton settlement is one Of the most
wealthy and prosperous in the great State Of
Illinois. The farmers of that township are all
men of large wealth, many of them owning
farms of from Ave to twelve hundred acres ca
pacity, which farms are all conducted upon the
most approved plans. The trade Of this settles
ment, which il immense, now goes to Musca
tine and Rock Island. By the read travelled,
Edgington is three miles nearer to Davenport
ter on this side Of the river than on the other,
and all that 10 necessary to draw the trade Of
that section to Davenport is . Ferry across
the river at Buffalo. This ferry we must have.
and We trust citizens mo are interested in secu-
ring this trade willcome down" literally. The
citizens Of Illnois. who are to be benefited BY
this enterprise. have come forward and sub
scribed generously. as they are very desirous Of
doing their business with us We are decided
" in favor Of their having an opportunity to
pour into the laps Of our business n en share
of their surplus wealth, and We shall continu
to do everything in our power to assist them
In occurring their much coveted ferry.

EDITOR LEADER:-H the Republican par
ty does not wish to be thoroughly and eter-
nally disgraced, let them stand by their prin-
ciples. If they take step backward they
will be disgraced, defeated and disbanded.
This the South are seeking by their bully
ing.
Should the Republicans make concessions,
it would be tantamount to expressing regret
at the election Of Lincoln, and pledging the
North never again to vote for a man not en-
dorsed by the South-to always say, II you
please, Massa" LIT

principal cities of Georgia, aud find the dis
union feeling everywhere overwhelmingly
in the ascendant.
Efforts are being made by leading men in
the Cotton States to obtain agreement on the
following programme;

ately upon the assembling Of their several
Conventions.
2. They are then to confer the powers
withdrawn from the Federal Government mp

NORTHERN SPIRIT.

The spirit of the North, at the Capital, is
rallying to meet the shock. The idea of the
unior of Northen men of all parties in the
North, for the sake of the Union, is becoming
a favorite topic Partisans may struggle vio-
lently against it, but IN the crisis they will be
overwhelmed. Southern members OF Con-
gress perceive this, and manifest some ankle
ty to know whether the North will stand arm
in the Imminent and deadly breach" While
the Northern men deprecate defiant and rash
counsels, they have, las reported by telegraph,
about made up their minds to resort to the
arbitrament Of arms, rather than admit the
right OF secession. Such an admission, they
maintain, is at once tantamount to q disrup-
ton Of the Government, and no power could
afterwards hold it together. You perceive
how swiftly the logic of events carry TO dire
conclusions. Senator Hale was rash, but his
mind clearly perceived the fact to which his
lips gave utterance. -
