to one of our exchanges: ga few days ago
we were filing into battle line by regi.

Colonel, with his regiment gathered around
him, holding prayer, and that, too, almost
in the midst of battle, for the firing had be.

We have reliable intelligence, says the
Mississippian, that drove of 5000 beef
cattle from Texas were driven safely across
the Mississippi river, at point not necss-
sary to mention, several days since, and are
now on their way to Hoods army.
The Louisville Press says Charles A..
Wicklif, Of Kentucky, stated in Baltimore
that Mcclellan assured him two days in ad.
vance Of his letter of acceptance, that if he
(McC Clellan) were elected not gun should
be fired at the rebels after the 4th of March.

"A Mcclellan meeting in St. Louis was
broken up few nights since by party of

dons awoke the next morning to find
out that-they had made quite figure
the previous night. The "Diario" will
doubtless translate with wonder to their
columns, the rapid progress their runa-
way generals have made in Yankee A
merican slavery. But, perhaps, the
South done all the fighting Of the Mex
ican War, and ve have not been forgot
ten. However, the Mexicans and Yam
KEGS are mongrels well matched-the
old Castihan blood has degenerated in
the first, while the "nigger" is far the
purest Of the last.
The Mexicans assume that Napoleon
has taken advantage Of the civil war in
the United States, who had heretofore
protected them-and they are kept in
this belief by the Yankee press, for
their own low, selfish purposes. The
Herald is for Mcclellan, so far.
I have spun this epistle out longer

Our Railroad.

That the chief object Of the Hallet
Company. U. P. R. E. D., is to make
money for themselves, is too apparent
to need further proof. They really
have no particular desire 10 build the
railroad. and no interest in the project
further than TO make it matter oil
speculation. Whether Kansas has a
railroad or not is nothing to Them
They have no interest in Kansas, and
no care for her welfare. This is shown
BY their ac;s. In no instance have
they done one thing 10 benefit our
State. but all the time they have been
working against us.
Nor need We wonder at this. The
company is made up. principally, OF ST..
Louis men. who. being more patriotic
than the Kansas men that formerly
composed the railroad company. are
doing all they can TO benefit Missouri.
We cannot blame them for tits; but
We do blame the Kansas company for
selling out to SIT OF sharpers who al
once ignore our State. Any contract
entered into by the L. p. 4 w: Co.
with o,Eer parties, should have secured
certain benefits IN Kansas beyond
peradventure. As the matter now
stands under the llsllelt arrangement.
ST. Louis and Kansas City are to be
the points and Missouri is 10 reap the
benefits of the road. while Kansas may
re; such crumbs as she can. and erery
point that gets crum6 Is asked TO pay
dearly for IT.
This is the whole thing in nutshell.
and oil the pslayer outside Of these
facts amounts 70 nothing. When Kan
sas gets any aid from the Hsllet, Shy
locks without paying them bonus.
We may expect TO see wafer run up
