EDITOR GATE CRY The loyal hearts
of the land feel that the crisis in the
great struggle for the nations life is at
hand. Their feelings at this time alter.
nate between hopes and fears. To-day
the cleaning bayonets of Grants trasty
iegions press back the rebel hordes nearer
to their doomed Capital The smile Of sat-
isiaction and hope plays upon the coun-
tenances of Unicn men, and the warm
blood courses more quickly through the
heart as they think they discern the bow
OF promise in the clouds, that tie rebel.
lion is destined TO sure, speedy and ef
fectual overthrow. Tomorrow, perhaps,
the news is flashed along the wires that
Grant is in check and other portions of
our lines have suffered disaster. Toe cheer
ful, hopeful man Of today. tomorrow j.
sad, gloomy and dependent. The "Cops'
having taken to their holes on the first in-
tiuatiou that Grant was pressing their
favorite chieftsio back, now crawl forth
to spit their venom at Unioa men and
gloat over the temporary disaster TO our
arms. They are caunt bussards lowering
over the country watching and waiisR'
for the great Republic to die that they
may feast on the dis6gured and rottsn re-
mains.
In pleasing contrast with the spirit that
actuates and moves the copperhead heart
OF the North in opposition to everything
that is done. save what is done BY The
rebels, is little incident which occorrsd
here the other day. An elderly lady
called at the post-ofice iuquiring, "whas's
the news 7" On being Informed that
Grant had whipped Leo the day before,
che says "God be praised. God bless Gen.
Grant, aud our noble bcJs.' And, con.
tinued the lady, the tears ,rickling dsws
her checks, II have had four nobls boys

STATE LINE nAaLnOAp.

STAIE LIN AABA8OAws
At meeting held 1t the Court Hous,
Thursday night, the claims Of fhis enter
prise were presented to our citisens b,
Mr.. Robinson, the President, and b,
some Of the Directors. Aea
We were grati6ed and no little sur
prised to learn from these gentlemen that
90 much work had been done on the road.
The plan proposed for building the
road is new one to us, aud commends
itself,o the judgment Of every man for its
economy and adaptation TO the times.
The citizens in the vicinity Of the road
the farmers-have undertaken to do the
work Themselves, and take their pay when
the road makes it. Under this novel sys.
tenn . great portion OF the road has boon
graded, and 1t was stated by the Presi.
dent that if twenty Eve thousand dollars
could be raised BY the citizens Of Keokuk
1t would insure The completion Of the
grading to Bloomfield, distance of sev.
enty miles from this place.
1t certainly is not necessary at this late
day for us to urge upon the people Of
Keokuk the necessity Of this road 10 the
future interests Of our city. Every man
acquainted with the geographical position
of the southern counties of Iowa and of
northern Missouri, knows that Keokuk
is the natural outlet for the tade of that
section of country, and that unless We re-
pulse them By our Indifference to the
completion of this road the people will
most naturally seek to make this the point
of trade for the vast agricultural products
of southern Iowa and northern Missouri.
Il behooves US, therefore. az we desire
the future prosperity of our city. to seek |
by every means within our power to tie
ourselves by rail to this unequalled agri.
cultural region.
Our business men, who, for the last
two or three years, have been reapinp a
harvest of fat things from the products of
this particular section of country, and who
anticipate in the future An increased
trade, can we'll afford to give . liberal
patronage to this road. which they may |
safely estimate will be returned to them
with liberal interest in the course Of =
few years.
With this road completed, a. contem-
plated, Keokuk may safely claim to have
one read. the trade Of which will, without
diversion, be concentrated at this point.
