Tue d. & S. G. r. R-This road has new
er been more successful than ming this sea-
son. The company have found it necessary
to increase their facilities for doing business,
largely. in order to meet the demands upon
them. They have purchased more rolling
stock, built depots, including very large
one at Dubuque, which is undoubtedly the
best in the State. They have erected snow
fences along the greater part of the road. -
The company is gradually paying off all the
indebtedness Of the road, and it's scrip stands

Much Of the present prosperity and all the

Gen. Grants Whole Army is Moving
Forward.


CAIao November %.
A special dispatch from Cairo to the Chi.
cago Journal under date of the 29th ult.,
says:
Tie great armies of the Southwest are ali
in motion.
Gen. Sherman left Memphis Wednesday
morning, and Gen. Grants troops struck
their tents at dawn yesterday By o'clock
the leading columns were in motion. a will
dprness Of bayonets flashed in the morning
sum- Banners tluttersd in mild breezes, and
music, martial and brass, flied the air. Adj
ded to this a thousand of voices sent up their
hearty cheers.
Nearly all the soldiers are in good health,
and all are well clad and armed. They have
unanimously desired a forward movement,
and now they are gratifed. The enc senti-
ment is, Lead us to battle-let US put down
the rebellion, and 60 home
One look at that gallant, cheerful host as
it took up its irresistible march yesterday
was worth lifetime.
One tent is allowed to twenty men, and
one to the officers of each company. SIX
wagons are allowed to each regime Mt Sew
en- days rations were prepared. Personal
baggage will be forwarded by rail.
The same paper adds:
We have a private letter, which under the
articles of war, we cannot publish, from south
Of Cairo, about plans and movements from
Memphis, in Arkansas, and in Mississippi,
that are on the eve of taking place, and which
if successful, will strike death blow to the
rebellion in the valley Of the Mississippi.
Suffice it to say that the present move
ment of Grants army is but the initiative OF
great blow that is soon to be dealt to the
rebellion. Gen McClernand will act prom
nent part in this grand campaign, as also
will the gunboat feet.
! If Arkansas and Mississippi arc MT recov.
cred to the old flag by Christmas, it will not
be owing to a lack of effort Oh the part OF

Pcrpetuation of the Union.

1t is evidently the positive determination of
a vast majority OF the people of this Republic
that the Union shall continue whole and un-
broken, and the misery which this rebellion
has entaled must make men anxious to adopt
every rrecaution which may tend to render a
recurrence impossible.
Every one knows that the noxious dogma of
State rights. as INTERPRETED by class OF South
ern politicians, was the principal lever used hy
the consriritors to effect their object. The alb
surd assertion OF paramount State allegiance
was used to seduce many weak men into the
conspiracy: and we have 1t on Gen. SCOTS au-
thority, that the same experiment was made
on him. Evidently the tendency of this war
must be to ndtiondiize us, or it will have been
fought in vain.
There is perhaps no single measure which
would accomplish so much towards the per-
petuation OF the Union as the adoption of a
.-~ss~.--l es~se.,- e.f vrsovufi0n. The ignorance
,of vast masses of the rebel States has rendered
it easy TO deceive and delude them into this re-
bellion. And now IL the Southern youth of
both sexes are to be educated in disunion SEN
timents. and In contempt for the National Gov
ernmeht, we shall at all times have among us
the material for another rebellion. ready when
ever circumstances may favor, and a leader
can be found capable of inspiring hope of sue
cess. This can be prevented by proper sys-
TEN Of education,-and how is such a system
to be brought about except through the gen.
eral Government? Ifa system of thorough in
struction be introduced by Government, if
schools be opened, at which part of the teach
ing shall be a respect for the Constitution,
yeneration for the founders Of the Republic.
and feeling of pride in their own country.
such teaching may do much to counteract the
evil sown by Calhoun, and which has brought
forth so fearful harvest.
II may be said that the rebeIlious States
would not send their children to these schools.
1t is sufficient to answer that, were the choice
given of "a good education without expense
against no education at all, few people would
hesitate The South has always exhibited a
great disposition to avail themselves of all the
benefits afforded at national expense. and they
would doubtless do SO i'm this case As to the
effect of this change upon the loyal States,
which already have extended school systems,
it need work no very great alteration, and the
change, If properly conducted, will be very
beneficial.
Our success so far, in subduing this rebellion,
has depended upon the loyalty OF our people,
and every measure which may tend to preserve
and foster loyalty, is worthy attention and
adoption. And what measure can be more eff
fectual than the proper training of our youth
and the early inculcation Of respect for the
principles of our government.-l Aroostook

June.

June is the time when painters love
To bid the glowing canvas speak;
To paint the neecy clouds above,
Aud trace the smile on Natures cheek.
The green hills in the sunset dye
Whereon the peaceful cattle lie,
The twilight with its creeping grey,
And luia with its silvery ray,
Are subjects for the painters eye.
June Is the time when poets love
To wake their sounding Tyre;
Though lot 10 sing Of world above,
Or Of the comets flashing fire.
But gentle as the bi cath of June.
To sing of howery hills and plains,
Ard brook.ets dai cling light aud free,
With joyful io'es, on TO the sea,
Sweet as the wal bler's gentle sti ain.
June IL the sweet NJ d dreamy time
When, 'leafh the Il a q ant chestnut bough,
The lover BY the maiden s side
Pledges in love his youthful vow.
Juie is the time when poets d. cam,
And hesper trims his silvery beam
OF smiling beauty, DER the breast
OF oceans en- mly sleeping crest;
Then points away to heaven serene.

A QUAKER WOMAN IN TRoUBLE--Dear
{ Friend: There are three great things / very
much wonder at. The first, that children
should be so foolish as to throw stones and
briek-hats and clubs into fruit trees TO knock
down the fruit; if they had left 1t alone it
would fall itself The second is that men
should be SO foolish and even wicked, as to go
TO war and kill one another; If they would let
Others alone they would die themselves. And
the third ;tnd last thing which wonder at
most of all is, that young men should be so
unwise as TO go after the young women; if
they would stay at home the young women
would come and see them.

And her gloves were as b ack as her shawl
