this, and draw this class to Us, is to let
free States which have still to fill their

that not only is Southern private assured

WORTHY OF IMITATION friend,
A j. Wilkinson, following the patriotic
example Of several Of our citizens, yester-
day gave $50 as private bounty to the
first man that would enlist aud be mus
tered into service, and placed the money
in the hands of the recruiting officer with
that understanding. flour citizens will
but take hold of this matter with will
ing hand enough recruits may yet be
raised in this township to fill our quota
and thus save the disgrace of a draft
Will you dc it?

E We learn that recruiting in the
tiFss District is progressing most favor
ably. The mem bers Of veteran regiments

COMFORTABLY TIGHr.-We saw two
individuals at a late hour last night, each
trying to take the other home. One was
very drunk and the other tight. 1t was
clear ease Of the blind leading the blind.
The pursuit of knowledge under difficult
ties is no comparison to the pursuit OF
lodgings under the pressure of tight
ness in the whisky market.

The Iowa and Missouri State Line
Railroad.

A few days ago we published state
ment OF the present condition and pros
poets of this enterprise under the hand
and signature Of Z. Robinson, the Presi-
dent OF the Company. Mr.. Robinson lives
at Pleasant Plains, Decatur county, and
gives his undivided time and attention in
pushing forward this great Improvement.
He has the reputation Of being a re-
liable and honest man, possessing untir-
ing energy and business efficiency. He,
and the Board of Directors cooperating
with him, have adopted q plan of opera
tons, and organized system of means
and of labor in the construction of the
road-bed aud supplying the ties, that,
thus far, seems to have worked admirably,
and guarantees not only speedy compile
ton of the work, bn. at cost incompa-
rably below what similar enterprises have
heretofore been constructed for.
The farmers along the line of railroad,
In granting the right of way without CON-
pensation, donating depot grounds, taking
stock and working upon the road, are dis
playing spirit of enterprise tha. is above
all praise.
Those Of our readers who took the
trouble to read Mr. Robinson's statement.
published IN our issue of the 9th inst,
will note with some surprise tho amount,
OF work tina. has already been done on
the road between Pennington aud Bloom
field, distance of forty miles; and es-
pecially will they be struck with the fact,
that in addition to the means already
provided for, it will only take s25, 900 to
complete the road-bed, including the ties,
that distance, ready for the iron and rolf
ing stock.
Ii this is SO. which We have DO reasob
70 doubt, 1t will prove the wisdom as web
as tie success Of this new and important
method OF building railways, and one that
should challenge the attention and imita-
ton OF other railroad companies. The
roal-bed finished and paid for, as in IL
probability it can be by mid summer, il is
understood there will be but iltle dill.
Guilty in getting the iron; and that the
road, with little extra effort, can be put
in operation as far az Bloomfield this
year. The friends Of the work are conf
dent that this viii ensure a very rapid
construction Of the balance of the line te
The Missouri river, under the peculiai
plan OF organizing the building thereof
by township and neigbborhood enterprise
Ia view of these things, We submit
whether this Is not a matter that should
at once engage the attention of the De,
Moiaes Valley Railroad Company-oul
pork merchants-our jobbing merchant:
and all our citizens ; especially wher
1t is known that the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River Railroad Company intend a
once to push their line across the Des
Moines at Ottumwa, with view of secur.
ing the trade Of this section of the State
There are other considerations which WI
may suggest in future issue of our pa
per, tending to show how important thi,
road is to our city, and that we owe it tc
ourselves to give to the Iowa and Mis-
souri, State Line Railroad Company po
only our sympathy and encouragement
but our assistance and active cooperation
il we should be called upon to do SO.
