NEw YoRK, Jan. l8, go.
| Last evening went, with other Keokuk-
ians, to the Church of the Ascension. A
general meeting OF the Episcopal Churches
was held there to give Bishop Lee, of Iowa,
an opportunity to present the claims OF
Griswold College at Davenport, Iowa.
Bishop Potter presided. Bishop Lee made
an appropriate appeal for money 10 pay for
their College, recently purchased from the
Congregationalists for $4,000. He stated
that $1,000 had already been donated,
without personal solicitation. Rev. John
Cotton Smith, the new Pastor of the church,
followed in an eloquent and impressive
speech on Christian education and the edu-
cation OF young men for the Gospel minis
try, and the importance of educating them
where they were afterwards to labor.
The celebrated DIR. Tying of ST. Georges
Church, made the closing speech. wish
could describe it. think il did the work
for Bishop Lee; and should think he would
raise this week at least $4,000. DR.. Tying
said that there were many individuals in that
Church, and also in ST. Georges Church,
who could give the whole amount required
without denying themselves a single luxury,
and that IL any one of them would do it, he
knew he would feel better the next morning
than he had felt for long time. He said
that not man in that house had ever worn
q shabby coat or denied himself single lax
ury in consequence OF giving. That they
did not give half what they ought to give
that ministers we're too mealy -mouthed when
presenting charitable objects TO the oonsid.
GRAFTON Of the people. He related an in
stance Of lberality which recently occurred
in hts Church, lSt. George's). A very
wealthy man, who lives out Of the city, but
attends st. Georges Church when in the city,
and sits with his SON. law, who is one OF
the Doctors pensioners, while in the city
not long since received unexpectedly, from
the settlement Of some old affair, the sum OF
$50, 900. The next day he was in attend
ance at st. Georges. Donations were so.
licited for a charitable object. When the
plate was passed the rich old gentleman
opened his heart took out dollar bill and
asked his son-in- law to change it, who gave
him four quarters, one OF which he put 10
the plate and loaned his son-in- law another
quarter. Fifty cents out Of that $50, 900,
for benevolent objects, said the Doctor.
DIR. Tying ia one of the most able and eIo-
quent ministers in the city.

Harper's Ferry investigation.

lHcrnlds Correspondence.
No testimony has been given before the in
vestigating committee in any way duplicating
Republicans With Browns raid. Mr.. Realf
states emphaticaiiy that the movement was
known to but few persons, as Brown was q
secretive man, and kept his own council
No one who accompanied him to Harper,s
Ferry, but kagi, was informed of the plan,
which did not contemplate running off negr oes
lie says Brown, and those ia his confidence,
we're radical abolltionists, who denounced
the Republicans.
When Senator Wilson made his speech in
Lawrence they assailcd him for failing to APP
proach their standard Of duty.
Mr. Wilson appeared before the committee
and stated that be had written to DR.. Howe,
of Boston, for original letters which had
been referred to by Realf. These letters
were written in May, 1858, and substantially
tell DR.. Howe that information has reached
him to the effect that Brown intended using
the arms furnished for Kansas by the Massa-
chusetts Aid Society, in manner not con-
temolased, and advises that they be With
drawn from him.
Mr.. Blair, OF Connelsvills, who manufac-
turei the pixies which figured at Harper's
Ferry, says that they were ordered during
the troubles in Kansas, AZ weapons Of pro-
section.
Mr.. Calender, cashier Of the Bank OF
Hartford, Conn.,, proves that John Brown had
funds there, which were drawn to furnish
supplies for Kansas. Never had the rem test

Among the telegraphic news of day or
two back appeared the following item:
SIN the Louisiana Legislature, to-day, the
Governors message was read. Ii recon-
mends that the State be prepared to meet
her sister States of the South in Convention
in case of certain contingencies; favors re-
taliation upon the hostility of tho North by
licensing and inaicting discrimination against
Northern goods, amounting to an absolute
prohibition"
II the Democratic Legislature responds to
this recommendation of Democratic Gov
ernor, what will be the consequence Simply
this instead of seeking market at or via
New Orleans, the up-river products will 60
across the continent above. Is Louisiana, lie
New Orleans so rich and powerful and pros.
porous that either can afford to drius BUSH
ness array instead of attracting it thither ?
The North and Northwestern country can
endure such nonsense, we think, as long as
the Democracy of Louisiana and New Or
leans can.

APO0R JOKE;
OR, TEAMING GOODS FROM KEpEUR.
One day In January last,
Two nice young men, though rather fast
Thought for joke they "a try their luck
In teaming goods from Keokuk.
They left Des Moines, their hopes were high,
Resolved they we're TO stdo or de-
Convince the people of their pluck,
And bring those goods from Keokuk
They reached the place, put on their leads,
And started back though rough the roads,
Determined still, by hook crock,
Te bring those goods from Keokuk.
And now commenced their sorsst trial,
Demanding oil their self -denial;
Their wagons in mud hole stuck,
With all those goods from keokuk.
They laborcd long, and strong and well,
Both MCDOWELL slim and stout 0dell,s
They covered them selves with Iowa muck,
To bring those goods from keokuk.
But sitter very many days,
Finding they could not "mand their ways"
At Kirkville they their eolors struck,
And left those goods from keokuk.
Three days they ride with might and main.
Until once more their homes they gain,
Convinced the most COMPOUNDED luck
Ig teaming goods from keokuk.

PIke,s Peak.

To all appearances there is to be great
rush to the Peak NEXT spring, from various
quarters. As q warning against dissppoint.
ment and suffering, on the part of those who
contemplate going, the last number Of tho
Rocky Mountain News, Jan. llth, says:
"Every man who reaches here before the
Let OF May, should bring supply Of pro-
Visions and clothing sufficient to last until
the lst of June and also come with the ex-
pectation OF doing little or nothing before
that time. There is little use of leaving
the Missouri river before the latter part OF
April or the first OF May, unless it be those
who have friends here, or who come with
a view to speculation and with plenty Of
money.
"We hope the press Of the Western States
will assist to Impress upon the minds OF the
people the folly OF an early and insane rush
towards the gold mines, and thereby prevent
recurrence Of the scenes Of last spring. p

Northern Railroad Connection.

Northern Railroad Connection.
We published the following item q few
days ago.
The contract for building the Cedar Falls
and Minnesota railroad to the State line, by
some Boston parties, has been signed, and
the road is to be completed from Cedar Falls
to Waverly, Bremen county, the present
year to Floyd, Floyd county, next year, and
to the State line, in Mitchell eeanty, BY Jan.
Let, 1868.
We re-publish it for the sake of adding
come remarks which we intended to make at
that time. The announcement is an impor.
tant one to US. The parties engaged in the
contract are responsible, and the affair is
not mere specializing scheme. tits i'm
portant to us, because it 10 considerable
part in the line that will ultimately be COM
pleted between st. Anthony, St. Paul and
this place. AT the State line it meets the
great land grant road under charge Of Mr..
Mason, formerly of the Illinois Central road.
The line from Cedar Falls down to Cedar
Rapids 10 also under contract, and we believe
the work is 10 progress. Between Cedar
Rapids and Columbus City the line is pro-
vided for via the K. Mt. P. & Nj. r. R., and
road up the Cedar Valley from Muscatine,
though more direct line from Columbus
City will doubtless be constructed ultimate
ly. The whole line is that concerning which
Col. Mason addressed some of our citizens
year or more ago, as being great through
route which he contemplated from st. Paul
to the foot of the rapids, here, similar to
that connecting Dubuque and Cairo.
