"CoMrETIrIoN Is the life Of business, " is an
Old adage and true one. 1t is well illustra.
ted in a recent case in this county. There is
a Touring mill at AndGlu.ia, about - miles
below this city, on the Mississippi river. The
proprietor Of that mill wishing to make con
tract for freight of flour to Chicago, we are
informed, got the Burlington railroad and our
railroad to make proposals for Transportation
The result was sharp competition, and the
| Chicago and Rock Island road carries the
flour from Andalusia for a lower figure than
our own mlllcrs pay This is the plain re-
suit Of competition, and shows the necessity
of extending the Coal Valley road to Gales
burg, Galya or kewanec. The Chicago q
Rock Island railroad must not be permitted
to get possession of the Coal Valley road, as
it already has Of the Sterling; if it does, we
are hemmcd in and controlled by that corpo-
ration forever and the business men of this
city and Davenport etiectualy excluded from
the advantages arising from two competing
lines.
If our flour and grain dealers could get the
Galena and Burlington railroad companies
to bid on carrying their freight during the
coming summer they could then get as good
terms from the Chicago & Rock Island road
as Andalusa. But as the matter now stands
Andalus" is nearer Chicago than Rock ISL
and, although her freight must come by
steamer to this place before it goes to Chca

SCRIPTURAL COMMENTARIES ON
THE ABOVE.

Ananias' and Sapphira's Death.
But a certai , man named Anani,
as, with Sapphire hjs wife, s1id a
possession.
2, And! kept back part of the
price, (his wife being also privy to
it, end brought a certain part, and
laid it at the Apostles feet.
8. But Peter said, Ananias, why
hath Satan filled thine heart to lie
to the Holy Ghost, and to keep
back part of the price of the land ?
A.. While it remained, was it not
thine own? and after it was sold
was it not in thine own power?
why hast thou conceived this thing
in thy heart ! thou hast not lied
unto men, but unto God.
5. And Ananias, hearing these
words, fell down, and gave up the
ghost. And great fear came on
all them that heard these things.
6. And the young men arose,
wound him up, and carried him
out, and buried him.
7. And it was about the space OF
three hours after, when his wife,
not knowing what was done, came
in.
8. And Peter answered, unto
her Tell me whether We sold the
land for SO much? And she said,
Yea, for so much.
8. Then Peter said unto her.
How is it that ye have agreed to-
gether to tempt the Spirit of the
Lord? behold the feet of them
which have buried thy husband
are at the door, and shall carry
thee out.
10. Then fell she down straight
way at his feet, and yielded up thu
ghost. And the young neil came in
and found her dead, and carrying
her forth, buried her by her husband

Rev. H. W. Beecher's Defense Of Lying

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, IN
the course OF his sermon at the
Church last night made
an eloquent plea for newspapers,
speaking of them as ore of the
most potent elements of our civ
iiization. "There is" said he, ga
common vulgar objection about
newspapers that they lie SO; they
don't lie any more than you do.
Man is naturally a lying creature.
Truth is q gift from Heaven, and
very few possess it before we get
there. The newspaper gives both
facts and rumors, and they would
be blamed if they did not do SO. 1t
is for the readers to Judge of these
rumors. The last economy should
be in regard to newspapers. 1t is
better to deprive the body of some
ribbon or jewel or garment, than to
deprive the mind Of its substance"

American SOIL, forest, ana well
cultivated land, we reached the
conference ground about half-past
ten o'clock. AS we do not profess
to give minute particulars of all we
witnessed on the fine and beautiful
farm on which the solemn and sa-
cred services were held, we must
content ourself by simply stating
a few facts.
There could not be less than
about thirty thousand persons on
the various grounds. There were
many thousands of horses and We
hicles there; there were the young,
gay, and thoughtless there there
were the sober, serious, devout,
and earnest christian Dunkers
there; there were the pleasure
seeking parties there ; there were
the anxious inquirers for peace,
pardon, and salvation, there; the
profane and religious critics were
there the mother and her babe,
and the father and his family, were
there ; the real believer and the
mad and daring unbeIiever were
there; the god ofthis world (Sateo,n)
was there /; the great triuIe Jeho.
yah, Father, Son, ARD Spirit were
there angels Of light and angels
of darkness We're there great and
glorious truths were honestly and
faithfully proclaimed there: HeAv.
en-, Earth, and Hell were represent.
ed there let US hope, and we dc
hope, that Heaven had its sway
and the victory there. Such a vast
religious gathering of earnest
Christians, was never witnessed be.
fore by us.
"We were there, and still! would go;
Twas like a little heaven below"

PULPIT POLITICS"

The most remarkable work ever
published in America within the
last fifty years, is now before u.s.
1t is the production of Professor
Christy, the author of "Cotton is
King" and several other useful
and well written works on various
subjects. We have not the honor
of a personal knowledge of the
learned Professor, but we have
often held Intellectual and mental
fellowship with him, andfeel moro
than pleased that we have met
him once more in the Hall of men,
tai criticism and impartial Review.
The work is we'll gotten up
the paper, the type, and the execu
ton are a credit to the publishers ;
and as for the contents Of the vol
ume, they are the most remarkable
exposition of the history Of the
slavery and slavery movements
ever presented to mankind. The
work is full of the most invaluable
information. 1t is a profound re.
search into the history of slavery
an impartial review of the Abo.
lition agitators, both in England
and America. The authors argu'
ments are accurately and logically
stated, and his conclusions are
irresistible. We shall! return to this
mastery and scholarly production
next week. We strongly urge al
who can afford it, to buy a cop!
of Professor Christy's pulpit Pol
tiles" The Rev. Sabin IIough
Cincinnati, is the agent for Prebl
County, and a line forwarded t.
him will procure a copy free of al
charge, with the exception of TIVE
dollars, which is the price of til
book. We add, that no Democrat
who can spare the money, SHOULD
remain another week without
copy of this great book. If eve
there was a work published 70
the times, Professor Christy's "Pu.
pit Politics" is the book for tn
American people at this terribl
= and trying moment. 1t will b
J seen from this learned and cleverl
f prepared production, that some {

bors Secessionists and traitors, al
t the same men who, a few yea
ago, petitloned Congress to dissol'

Headquarters Army of the Potomac,

Soldiers eff the Army of the Potomac:
l have fulfilled at least a part of
my promise to you. You are now
face to face with the rebels, who
are held at bay in front of the
Capital. The final and decisive
battle is at hand. Unless you belle
your past history, the result can
not be for a moment doubtful. IT
the troops who labored so faithful
ly and fought so g~allantly at York
town, and who so bravely won the
hard fights at Williamsburg, West
Point, Hanover Courthouse and
Fair Oaks now prove worthy OF
their antecedentS, the victory is
surely ours. The events of every
day prove your superiority
Wherever you have met the enc
my you have beaten him. Wher
ever you have used the bayonet
he has given way in panic anc
disorder. / ask Of you now ont
last browning effort. The enemy
has staked his all on the issue O
the coming battle. Let us NEE
him and crush him here III thu
very center of the rebellion.
Soldiers !: 1 will be with you il
this battle, and share its danger
with you. Our confidence in eacl
! other is now founded upon tn
past. Let us strike the blow tina
is to restore peace and union t.
this distracted land. Upon you
valor, discipline and mutual conf
} dence the result depends.
