BEST ROUTE TO THE GOLD MINES"

BEST ROUTE TO THE GOLD MINES"
The Des Moines Journal, in speaking of
.ha. place as an ous-ftting point to the
gold mines, states by way Of argument,
that "Flour, which brings at Council Bluffs
upwards Of $500 per hundred, can be
bought here for Sl,7j. So with all other
provisions in proportion" Now, there are
two or three points in the above argument
which we are obliged to acknowledge our
self unable to understand. LIST. We can't
understand why it is that -four, which only
brings sl,7j at Des Moines, is not taken to
market, where it will bring "upwards Of
$4,00." ID. If the Des Mo;nes people
can't afford to haul their -four to Council
Bluffs for ttro dollars and twenty-five cents
per hundred, in the winter, when the ground
is frozen, and good Shedding all tho way,
how can the emigrant afford to haul the
same freight, a. the meprice, in the spring,
when the ground is shaved OUT and the
mud on the bottoms averaging ten or twelve
inches! Sd. The point that We can't
understand, is If town is located so
far miami that two dollars and a.quarter
per hundred will not pay for hauling its
surplus produce to the river, how can the
merchants Of said town purchase goods in
the same market with merchants of the river
towns, then after hauling the said goods half
way across the State in wagons, afford to
sell the same at less than one haJ Of the
price charged by merchants directly on the
river?

and commenced running, last Thursday
afternoon, doing considerable damage to
property near the mouth of the river the
pier built by the telegraph company was
broken dowp, and tie wires carried away
BY the ice. Some days must necessarily
elapse before this damage can be repaired,
and the connection restored. Meanwhile
the Omaha operator will remain at the

between Omaha and the south side, by

will be delayed but short time.

At q meeting held by the citizens of the Ninth
Ward, Third District, on Thursday evening, the5
18th inst. at the Crescent Beer Garden, on LeEee
between Louisa and Clouet streets, the following
gentlemen were elected officers, viz:
Captain, J. F. Barthelemy; First Lieutenant, D.
7. Farrar Second Lieutenant, Fred. Losberg
Third Lieutenant, Robert Wynne Orderly Ser
geant and Treasurer, Louis ALI. Wiltz; First Cor
poraI, John Junek Second Corporal Ed. Delu-
zain; Third Corporal, P. A. Bertrand; Fourth Cor

Corporal a. Charbonnet; Seventh Corporal, Ohm
Dickson; Eighth Corporal, W. Fl. B. Brown: Ninth
Corporal, John Moore Tenth Corporal, Fl. Law
renee; Eleventh Corporal, A. Tabary; Twelfth
Corporal, P. Conrad.
The number of officers in the above organization
may surprise those of our readers who do not live
in the lower end of the city; but it is susceptible
of very easy explanation. The first call for this
organization was made on the 18th, only five days
ago. The above numerous officers were elected
by collection of only tfue hundred men, steady
citizens all, and livery many of them the owners oi
the houses they live in.
The subscription book is yet open and so unan
imous is the feeling in the Ninth Ward, that it is
expected the roll will finally boast the names O.
500 men, able and willing to carry guns and to use
them with effect, should the Abolition enemy ever
propose to come within the vicinity Of New Or
leans, from Cairo or from the Baze, or from any
other point Of the compass. Who will say now
that the old Ninth Ward is nottrue to the other ten
wards Of the Crescent City?

FRANKroRr, Jan. 17.-The Legislature of Ken
lucky, now convened in extraordinary session, is
in receipt of the Governors message,
Gov. Magoffin asks the Legislature to exp,i-
their appreciation of Senator Crittenden's .oaeo \
tions adding that eight States will has oat,ons
from the Federal Union before their deipeA"
are brought to close. :-i me /
That Tennessee has referred the whole subject
to her people, while Virginia and North Carolina
are now discussing the propriety of a similar
course. Missouri too, seems likely to adopt sim
liar policy.
He submits to the Legislature the propriety of
providing for an election of delegates to Conyen.
ton to assemble at an early day, to determine the
fortune of the interstate and Federal relations of
Kentucky, in the meanwhile he would leave no
experiment untried which would have tendency
to restore raternal relations between the States.
He recommends also, q Convention of the Border
Slave States, to convene at early day in Febru-
ary at Baltimore.
The Governor says that the hasty and inconsid-
crate action of the seeding States does not meet
with the approval of our people, yet Kentucky
will never stand idly by, with folded arms, while
these States are struggling for their constitutional
rights, or while they are subjugated to an anti
slavery Government
He asks the Legislature to declare, by appro-
pirate resolutions, the unconditional disapproba.
tion by Kentucky of the employment of force in
any form whatever to coerce the seeding States
The Message contains request for an appropr,
alton for the purpose of arming and equipping the
Volunteer Militia of the State.
