Substitute for Change.-In consequence of
the exceeding scarcity Of small specie, which
exists to such an extent that our merchants
are often unable to make change to their
customers, we think it would be well for our
merchants to adopt the course pursued by
Mcssrs. HERMoN & FRANCIS. This firm have
large number Of blank checks printed pay
able to bearer on demand. These they will
fill out with such denominations as the occa-
sion may require, and give to their customers
in place Of change, --redeeming them when
ever presented; or they will sell person
dollars worth or more Of these checks, each
representing some small amount, and receive
them again at their face.

iron-horse into our place, it at length real

Valley and its tributaries" is bound with
iron bands to the great commercial marts Of

as well as to the entire population Of one Of
the richest and most productive regions of
country to be found in the West,-a tract
large in its scope, and unusually prolific in
al the elements Of agricultural, mechanical
and manufacturing wealth, the completion
OF the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad to
Cedar Falls, is an event Of great impor-
lance. Steady and sure as has been our
growth, our town must receive fresh impe-
tus from the completion of this road. Through
this place must now be poured the agricul-
tural productions Of q large area Of country.

facilities for transportation to market. has

Fellow citizens of the South, take cour-

ance of slight spot Of dough on one check

not thousand miles from 1.-THE American

city with Southern principles among its
citizens. This Representation more than lit
orally, is representing the wishes of that part
Of his constituents whose sympathies are NOV
ed exclusively by sense of the misery you
are undergoing from the abuse the North is
heaping on you by way Of opposing the cx-
tension Of your peculiar institution, and
not at all by any consideration connected
with the immense wealth they have acquired,
or intend to acquire by their cotton dealings
with you. Oh no In this Athens dwell
quite a number of this Representatives. con-
aitucnt who are both wealthy and respecta-
Bile who, being governed solely by a broad
spread philanthropy, and extremely ten

tirely what is called law and order, hereto
fore the rule of their own exemplary lives,
and in this present emergency resort to, and,
as far as in them lies, enforce gag law and the
suppression of free speech and discussion,
heretofore, in this Northern region, supposed
to be the right of all American citizens.

thirty miles west Of Helena, several

One of those executed belonged to
Col. Lightfoot. He was a ,nulatto
boy, a blacksmith, formerly y owned by
James Bush, Of Big Creek. He was
the ring gleaderiof the plot, which, asdc-
tailed by himself and others, was most
atracious. The white male inhabi-

the administration may be to the South,
it by no means follows that the Office

benefit to the community in which ha

his neighbors. We have the honor 10

The following items are from the spe
cial telegraph to the Cincinnati Go=ene
of the 18th inst:
SENATOR HUNTERS SpEECH- The
speech of Senator Hunter to day is re-
garded as an indication of the position of
Virginia. He is exceedingly cautious,
and never takes step unless sure of
being backed up at home. His idea WIS,
to let the Union 90 to pieces quietly,
and then, through a general convention,
or some other mode, attempt the work of
reconstruction. His idea of a govern
ment is that of Mr. Calhoun, with dual
Executive, &c.
Mr. HARLAN's REJoINDER - Mr.
Harlan, f Iowa, followed in IA strong
speech, in which he told the South that
they of the North were ready to repeal
the legislation of 1854, and go back to
the Compromise of 1880, which the
South itself had suggested and carried
through. lie intmated pretty clearly,
that the Northwestern people never
would stand any interference with the
mouth of the Mississippi.
