Hon. Sidney Clarke our sound, live,
promising Member Of Congress, delivered
at PaoIa Kan. Sept. Sth 1865. rousing
railroad speech and he went pretty much
in favor Of every railroad that has yet
been talked of in the State, consequently
some think that there is some moonshine
in his propositions. But, as he says in the
course of his remarks: "But in presen.
ting this system of railroads, I am met at
once with the objection that the system is
too extensive, and the construction beyond
our means. l answer, that in my judg-
ment, the system Is not too extensive, and
that most of us now living will not only see
all these roads built, but will see the time
when our wealth and necessities will re-
quire many more roads not yet thought
Of" so say we.
He refers in the following language to a
railroad through the Northern Tier:
."Aroad from some point on the Missouri
river in Doniphan county, west through
the northern tier of counties to Marysville,
and down the rich valley of the Blue river
to connect with the Union Pacific road at
Manhattan; OF running west from Marys-
vile through Washington county to the
valley of the Republican"
Now, friend Clarke, We sardines up in
this country mean business, and make the
following proposition:
Ifyou will put bill through Congress
giving every alternate section of govern
ment land along the line for twenty miles
in width to a railroad that shall COM
mence on the Missouri river in Doniphan
co, and run westerly through the Northern
Tier, through Marysville, via the Big
Bend of the Republican river and tap the
Pacific road at Ft. Kearney y, we will go for
you ''teeth and toe nail" for our next U.

to dot. Your speech at Otlumwa July
4th 1866 is the best production of Kan

way think you are little improvement on
anything we have yet had in the Senate,

IFrom The Circleville Union. Jan. 81
Sunnsh-up ON the Railroad.

On Saturday evening last, about ten
o'clock, our citizens, most of whom were al
the Concertwere startled by the announce
ment, that the cars from the east had brok-
EN- through the bridge over the Scioto, and
that five or six men were killed! A number
of persons Immediately repaired to the scene
of disaster, and found that the locomotive
and some dozen cars had been precipitated
into the river; that the fireman was killed,
and the engineer, Mr.. John Miranda, (botl
Of Lancaster,) was severely injured. With
difficulty the former was exhumed from the
fragments of the wreck, and the latter was
found sitting on the timbers, with his feet
fastened. He was soon rescued, almost fro.
zen; clothed in blankets and shawls and
conveyed on the cars to the Valley House
where he is now comfortably lodged. Al
though badly injured, strong hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery. 1t Is a miracle
that the man was not killed.
The fall of the bridge issupposed to have
been caused by the rottenness ofthe string.
ers resting on the north side of the pier
The engineer himselfis unware ofany Other
cause. On entering the bridge, he knew
something was wrong, but could not divine
its cause.
