1t is contended by some that the pro-
posed Turnpike to the University
grounds will be l0caiin its benefits, and
they must goagainst it. Wesay again
that it pW not be local, but benefit the
whole county. Is it probable that the
prices Of provisions can go up in one
part Of our county and not go up in
another! TO Illustrate: The price OF
slaves in our midst is higher thauNny
man has eve" known. 4 negro who
ten years ago would have sold ior$SOO,
willnow bring $1,000 to $I5U0. Why?
Because the price Of negroes has gone
up in New Orleans, and in The cotton.
growing States, There the prices range
from $1,000 to $500. And Us the pri-
ces increase there, negroes increase in
value here. The increased consump-
ton Of cotton creates Il demand for it.,
and ofcoursc the price Of cotton goes
up, and negroes to cultivate arc dcmQn-
ded, and higher prices paid for them.-
SO the system works. And when the
University is erectCd,a demand iSopon-
ed at once FIR our productions, we vii!
get Il better price for those productions,
andthe pay Of all day laborors will be
increased, and our county is enriched.
All classes are benefited. Hut, rs we

is TO offset the argument that the Turn
pike will be local. SO far as we are
concerned, we should vote for thc Tax
even if it were increased to twice tWcn-
ty-onc thousand, provided it was to
build Turnpikcs owe this county. We
ought to have Il Turnpike from here to
Marble Hill, and other places. And we
ought to have several bridges at places
in the county where it is, half the year,
dangerous to cross the streams. And
five owned property, the more we own
ed the more we'd favor the tax, while
those who own no property will have
little or n tax to pay. Yet those last
namcd persons seem to bcthe principal
ones who oppose the tax.
We do hope all opposition TO the tax
will cease. The pike cannot run by cy-
cry mans door, Of course, and because
every man cannot have it mus, is no

MARRIED.

In this place, on Sunday evening
last, at I o'clock, p. NJ, at the residence
.ofthe brides father, by John I. Slater,
Esq, Mr.. VIM. S. Johnson. formerly OF
Holly Springs, Mis-, to Miss Susan A.
darrell, youngest daughter of \. B.
Darrell, aud grand daughter Of Rev.
Augustus Darrell, all of this county.
We must congratulate our clever
friend Joidson on his exit from the
hurly-burly of single life. He has
emerged out of Natures darkness into
the marvellous light of matrimony in
that light we trust he will ever live and
bask in the sunny smiles of Her who
has taken his feet out Of the mirc and
clay and placed them on Il progressive
basis. Old things have now passeI
away with h IN, and all things have be-
come new. He no longer sees throupl,
u glass darkly, but beholds his own fair
b~eneiactrcss face to face. His conser.
vatlve feelings have preponderated on
the side Of matrimony and female ia
~iuencc, fully convinced that the world
would prove to him a waste, bowling
wilderness without the magic smile OF
her whom his soul holds most .dear.-
May the little twinkling star oflovc cv-
or bold him spell bound to the object of
his present and future happiness. So
mote II be. J. T. s.

For the Guardian.

Mr.. EDITOR:
We noticed in the Civilian few weeks
since, paragraph headed "A Town
MOVING" in which we learned with dis
may that our beautiful village was fast
being deserted. But as time effects what
nothing else can, the CONSERVATION pro-
duced gradually wore off, until at length
we have rallied sufficiently to offer few
suggestions. Now if single building,
unoccupied as a residence, can be made
to fairly represent the 2own, then we
must admit that Littleton has become ex-
tinct-that nothing now remains but a
primitive wilderness-not a monument
of any kind to "mark the place where it
stood"-that henceforth will be heard
only the barking of wolves, the singing
of the forest birds, and the splash of the
musk-rat. as he attempts to initiate the
Democratic party by turning summer
sault on the banks of the Wapsie. But
the fact is, Littleton still lives her in
habitants still pursue their customary vo-
cations, which consist chiefly in eating
three times per day, reading the Guard
ian and Tribune, with an occasional d.
gressioE to matters of more worldly
nature. But the great fact which con-
clusively proves her existence, is the
completion of the Bridge across the
Wapsie, which is now in good running
order" This noble work of art was
projected sometime during the present
century, and Notwithstanding the i'm
mense pressure in the money market
to say nothing Of the bread markets.
friends now have the satisfaction of re-
cording a complete triumph over all DIFF
ficulties, and we trust that for all time to
come the good people Of Bremen and 9TH
er counties northwest will have direct
communication with Independence, Ella
Lttleton. In addition to this. Madame
Rumor is just now busy circulating re.
port that the excellent water-power here
is soon to be put under proper improve
ment. Whether or not the old lady is
correct, or is only INDUCING the we'll
known propensity of her sex to say
things, remains to be seen : but we are
quite sure SO good chance for invest
ment will not long be suffered to remain
unimproved. Political topics are freely
discussed on almost every occasion by
both the male and female portion of our
community. This is as it should be, for
where great moral questions are involved,
as at the present, the ladies are almost
certain to be right. This being the case,
gentlemen cannot long remain wrong,
and although we are not a special advo-
cate of Woman's Rights, yet have long
since conceded her right to know some.
thing and talk about it.

Hostilities with Mexico Commenced,

Hostilities with Mexico Commenced,
re- Last week we gave some reasons
for supposing that the administration was
trying to involve the county into difficult
ties with Mexico, and now we have to
chronicle the success of the attempt
On the 9th inst, a portion of the crew
OF the Saratoga, captured two war steam
ers before Vera Cruz, belonging to MIR
ANON, and brought them into the port OF
New Orleans. These steamers were fit
ted out at Havana by an agent of MIRA
MON, named MARIN, and they left that
port under the Spanish flag. They came
into the harbor of Vera Cruz, and when
summoned to show their colors, refused,
1t is said, to do so. United States troops
then proceeded. in two of JuAREz's ves-
sells, to board them, when they were re-
ceived with discharges of musketry. Or
ders were then given to attack the steam
ers, which was done, and in fifteen min
utes they were forced to surrender to our
troops. Their refusal to show their col :
ors, it is said, subjected them to the
treatment of pirates, and was sufficient
warrant for the American commander to
capture them. Advices from Washing
ton, however, state that the President was
well aware of the fact that MARIN, who is
an old Mexican Commodore, was fitting
ont these vessels to cooperate with MIR
ANON in the attack upon Vera Cruz, and
gave orders to our commander in the
Gulf to prevent such cooperation. If
this is so, we do not see how such orders
can be considered in any other light then
a declaration of war, and as this power
is only granted to Congress, it would
seem to be just conclusion that the
President has seen fit to violate the Con-
stitution, and usurp powers which he has
no right to exercise. However, all the
details of the affair have been called for
by Congress, and in few days we shall
be able to Judge who is responsible for
the proceeding.
