10 the Editor 81 the NeD lork Herald:
ANCIENT FINE ARrs.-Respecting the relies OF
porcelain found in the late exhumations at
Herculaneum, which have been forwarded TO the
Society Of Antiquities in London, whereof your
correspondent says the bottle resembling brakes
Plantation Bitters was undoubtedly placed among
the ruins by the agent Of DR.. Drake, we desire to
state that be is incorrect in every respect. If a
bottle Was found there bearing our lettering the
language Of the Ancient Romans was different
from the accepted literature of that day. Our
Agent has other business than this in Europe and
has not been in Italy at all. No doubt Americans
carry Plantation Bitters to Rome; but trying to
impose upon 4 society of Antiquarians in this way
seems quite useless, and We do not appreciate the
joke. 1t is unnecessary for US to spend money in
Europe while we are unable TO supply the demand
for these celebrated Bitters here.
Respectfully, p. H. DRAKE CO.

By the following dispatch from Davenport,
found in the Erening Journal, it appears that
one of the Iowa railroads, the Mississippi and
Missouri. is likely soon to change owners:
Negotiations are pending between the OFF,
GERS of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad
and those of the Mississippi and Missouri
Railroad for the purchase OF the latter by the
former. The Chicago and Rock Island offers
So, 500, 900 for the entire Mississippi and Mis-
souri, road, which it now controls under
lease. The Mississippi and Missouri is the
extension Of the Chicago and Rock Island
road west of the Mississippi river, its main
line running from this place to beyond Grin
nell, and the Muscatine branch running to
Washington. Both lines are to be pushed
further westward-the main line being des-
tined to connect with the Pacific Railroad on
the Missouri river 1t is deemed certain that
the offer of the Chicago and Rock Island will
be accepted by the stockholders of the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri road

high prices of cotton win cause the most enerrst;r
efforts to be made for its production next year. A
great many obstacles now existing win disappear

labor trouble; and estimates Of production made
q present cannot therefore, b in any respect re
