We Learn from the Upton, Iowa) Advertiser,
that the meeting held i few days since at Ana-
mora, to consider the necessity Of building
Railroad from that point to Flournoy, was we'll
attended, and that al present seemed willing
to take hold and do their SHARE. It WIS deter
mined to organize g. Company at once to build
the road.
The SUICIDE DoDGE-An entirely new con-
idcnce game has been Stated at the West. 4
man goes to 4 hotel, appears very detected,
calls 1or 4 room and registers his name, rings
vial on the table labeled 1.-TWO ounces Of
laudanun," and asks to see Clergyman. 4
Clergyman and doctor are hurried IN, emetics
and consolation administered, and the young
man is saved, is penitent, and needs only
money to get home to begin new life. 4
purse is made up, the railroad furnishes free
pass, and tbs yonng h1an goes on his way re-
jo!ciog to act the same tragedy at another
plare, with the same results. THIS dodge was
prneticcd at SandusEy and Dayton, Ohio, by
tic same chap and he was going further West,
70 try 1t again, no doubt. He called himself
LastlaFline, and profesEed to be related to the
celebrated Frenchman, and also to several Of
the Virginia aristocracy.-tSprinA1zeld journal.

Wigiall is man by no means imposing in

that fills the Senate Chamber, and when not
confused OF excited by too frequent refresh
,nent, he speaks deliberately, and in such Q
torcib1e, emphatic manner, that he almost
creates an impression, in q few inexperienced
minds, That lie is talking sense.
Wiyfall has had some advantages Of educa-
ti0n, and has now evidently the advantage of
! book OF classical quotations, for he can bring
in a Latin line at times. But there Is nothing
cil5sical about Wigfalf except his book Of
quotations. He is cf the VULGAR order Of ora

His Illustrations are commonplace and give

Alter tac1, climax OF anti-elimax in the ora

The. African Slave Trade In the Sc.
ced1nE. Statcs.,

lFrom the Charleston Mercury, March g.
It is eaid that the President has vetoed the
act recently passed by the Congress to sup-
press the African slaye trade The grounds Of
the veto are not as yet known; bat it is GER
tainly unfortunate that there should be O diff
ference between Congress and the Exeeuti:c
or sueh Q subject. Slavery is the immediate
cause Of the existence Of the Confederacy.
Thct differences should already arise concern
ing it in lis councils is very much to be de-
plored That Congress expected no such
thing is plain from tic: TACT that it removed
the Injunction Of secrecy and published the
the laws Of the United States upon the enb-
ject, which were adopted, with al the other
laws Of the United States. by the Congress cf
the Confederate States. the laws of tie Uni
ted States make the importation Of African
slaves piracy. This act Furnishes it as O high
misdemeanor. 10 veto the latter is to keep
in force the former. Can this be the object Of
the veto?
