Down UPON A RAILRoAD.-A Wis
consin farm mortgsger writes to the
Milwaukee Free Democrat -" If there
ever was anything that could in truth
be said to have been conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity, it is this
some La Crosse Milwaukee railroad
eve.y tie lies embedded in some poor
mans hearthstone-every spike has
been driven deep into affections that
cluster around home aud it's attractions,
ana every bridge is supported by chords
that have been torn, with u ruthless
clutch, from the bosom Of consanguini-
ty and love-"

We draw long credit mark in favor
Of that positively great man, Jerome,o of
the Iowa City Republican. He has done
q good thing. For several years he has
been sweating away in his sanctum },
doing the bidding Of his masters, and
has never been accused either inside or
outside Of his party Of accomplishing
anything for the cause he endeavors TO
advocate, or doing any damage to the
party against which he sets his face.
But we are inclined to the doctrine that
none Of the human family are incapable
OF doing any good; and to prove that
our position is correct, We publish be-
low letter from one of the subscribers
of the Republican to the editors. The
letter shows very clearly that out of evil
frequently comes forth good; that well
meaning men ip attempting to substan-
tiate their doctrine sometimes 60 80 far
as to disprove it. For example, BenJa'
min Knapp, Esq, previously and old
line Wing, and formerly full-blooded
Republican, was a constant reader Of
the Republican, and below We give the
result:

BENJAMIN KNAPP.
This letter not only proves our n.y.
pothesis to be correct, but it furnishes
further proof--that the Democratic
ranks are constantly receiving Access
ssious from the opposition-that Demo
cratic principles are the only ones that
underlie all other real or assumed prln-
ciples-that the Douglas banner is the
banner under which the people are
gathering, and under which, with the
help Of Providence, they hope to gain
victory over the opposition.
We thank the Republican for the
good it has done, and trust it will perse-
we're.

FIRE VILLAGE CREEK, ALLAMAKEE.
Tho Touring mill and single machine
at village creek, Alamakee county, were
destroyed by fire on the 2sd ult. The
pecuninary loss is estimated at $4,000,
but the loss to the vicinity is much more
than that, as the Touring mill afforded a
home market for grain aud the conven-
fence Of grist. This is great loss to
the village creek, which, till this blow
was infected on it, was among the most
honrishing village. in Northern Iowa.
The North Iowa Journal publishes

A short time since, three ANAL boys
