On the project:
I'VE imagine that Pc. 1ns Who anticipate

there is no better security for persons or prop
ertv III the state Of Central America. than
there Is here. But if IT were even otherwise,
we should still doubt the policy Of emigrat-
ing. Ii is certainly discrcditable desertion
of a good cause ut time when that cause
Is most imperilled and most needs courage
Gus supporters and defenders.
Upon which the Chicago Jounal remark
This is well and wisely spoken. The idea
Of emigrating to the petty Republics Of
Central America-of transferring ones resi-
dencc and citizenship from a safe, prosperous
and promising State like Illinois, because
the great Republic of which il is {. member
IS struggling against 4 sectional revolution
10 one of those small rationalities which arc
but seldom at peace Internally or information
ally, is truly a preposterous one, which lao
person OF intelligence or sound mind would
for u moment contemplate favorably. 1t would
in a verify be jumping from the frying pan
into the fire.
All very true. But the case IS certainly
less absurd of persons we know Of in this
region- and they are not all Democrats
eIther--who instead or the disorderly petty
republics of Central America, propose Can
ada, Brazil, and even the Cape OF G. God Hope "a
points of emigration. In those localitie:
there are stable as well as liberal govern
ments, afflicted with none of the evil
which are beginning really to Cypress as wei
as alarm many Of our pcpole.

The army IS in splendid order, the wealth

was most agreeable and not molested by
guerriias. We reached savannah three DAYS
ago, but owing 10 Fort McAlister We could
not communicate: but now we have Fort Nc
Allster, we can 90 ahead. We have captur-
Ell two boats on Savannah river, and proven
ted their gunbuats from coming down. The
estimated population of Savannah is $4,000,
and the garrison $4,000. General Harice
commands.

Removing the State Capital.
The Quincy Herald disposes of this qucs-
ton to at leas: or entire satisfaction in the
following sensible paragraph:

The Quincy Herald disposeS OF this qucs-
ton to at least or entire satisfaction in the
following sensible paragraph;
The newspapers are discussing the proprie-
u ofremoying the capital from Springfield to
some other point The discussion thus far
seems to have been confined to those Of them
that favor the project The Peoria papers
are decidedly III favor of removing the capt
tai to that place. The Decatur papers want
it there The jacksonville papers think it
should be removed to the vicinity Of the in
sane hospital, while the Joliet papers contend
that if the capital is removed it should by all
means be taken 70 the neighborhood Of the
state penitentiary. Unless the frienus of
these several points can first agree among
themselves. they will not succeed in eifecting
its removal. Still. the agitation of the sub
iect has stirred up the denizens of Springfield
somewhat They begin to talk OF building a
new hotel, and some Of them have actually
subscribed money for that purpose. If the
new hotel goes up within a reasonable time.
the talk about removing the capital will most
likely cease. Hotel accommodations at
Springfield have always been indifferent in
quality, extravagant in price, and very often
impossible to get Of any quality or at any
price. If they will 90 ahead and build a
hotel that will be a credit to the place,
and put man in it that knows how to keep
tavern, we think we shall be safe IN going
security that the capital will not be taken
from them. If not, we shall feel it to be our
duty to favor its removal to Joliet or Jack
sonvil!e--ye don't care which. The Spring
felders viii please take notice.
