The Panic Means War!

Such IL the Judgment of the more in
tclligcnt classes throughout Europe
They have ali bat unanimously conclu-
ded that Prussia and Italy are lcagued
to attack Austria, and that Napoleon is
secretly hacking them. What was be-
fore suspicion became conviction when

Cabinets and shattered Credit 10y flash
ing abroad the speech made on the 9th
by Napoleon To the Mayor of AuXerrc,
in response to Il complimentary address.
Its text is as follows:

faced from your minds. Believe me,

CHAP. II.
THE IOWA CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Letter from A. D. Barnum, the General
Agent.

Correspondence of the Cedar Falls Gazette.
KNOXVILLE, May 2l, 1860.
Friend Perkins, Cedar Falls, Io,cd:
DEAR SIR:-Allow me through your
valuable paper to report the progress of
the Iowa Central Railroad in the coun-
ties of Appanoose and Monroe, my
present field of labor. / have been in
Appanoose seven days, and have raised
ten thousand dollars stock, and secured
the right of way about 20 miles, which
/ consider of great Importance to the
Company, as our line runs through the
best settled and improved portion of the
State in Il south-easterly direction on
the Charlton Divide. cutting farms from
corner to corner in very bad shape
This is the finest section and the best
improved of any | have seen in Iowa.
All that is lacking to develop and
change the nature of business is n Rail
road. | think | shall be able to raise a
sufficient amount of stock this month
to warrant our Company in putting it
under contract through Appanoose
county. The Engineer Corps is here
with me, and we hope and expect to re-
port line through this county, and the
stocks up, by the 9Th OF June, at the
next meeting of the Board Of Directors
of the Iowa Central Railroad, when the
Company will make arrangement to
contract the grading from the North
Missouri Railroad, at the State line,
north, to Abba, Monroe county, (where
we cross the Burlington d Missouri
River Railroad), to be completed as
soon as the North Missouri Railroad
reaches the State line, which, under
stand, is to be by the 1st of May, 1867.
I had \ meeting at Abba, Monroe
county, on Tuesday and "Wednesday
last. They have raised from $4,000 to
$50, 900, and are getting fully organized
for thorough canvass of the county,
and will be able to report the stocks full
in twenty or thirty days. / shall help
to storm that county rs soon M | get
through this. At Eddyvillc they are
calling loudly for me to come there and
help them, but / nave commenced III
the south end Of the line and intend to
clear the track OF the Iowa Central
Railroad for the ears as | come up
Every thing looks favorable and /:
working well for the Iowa Central Rail
road-Thc Grund Trunk Rdiltcdy Of M
West! forty miles shorter, and mort
direct than any other projected roa,
through the State north and south, be
ing nearly on an air line, and through
the richest and most productive portion
of Iowa. ! hnd II very fine line through
this county, of easy grade, and will not
cost to exceed 81 300 per mile to grade
it, while the line east Of US on the &c
dar Rapids & st. Louis road will cost
from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile tc
grade; or, more to grade forty miles Oh
their line than to grade and tie one
hundred and fifty miles on the Iowa
Central Rairoad. These are facts fol
capitalists and the people to think
about.
Yours respectfully,

Buy LAND.--lIorace Greeley urges
every body to :" buy land" He says: !:
Land il still amazingly cheap in most
parts of our country, and is destined to
remain so. Immigration is very heavy;
we are all sick of war, and our popula-
ton increases at II rate which will
double it every twenty years. The
common notion that we still have an
enormous area of arabic soil unappro-
priated is a mistake. West Of Kansas
and Nebraska-that is, over three hum
dred miles west of the Missouri--there
Is little good land. The central table,
lands of our continent lie so high as to
parched by persistent, pitiless drouth.
Even were not the lack of timber a
serious obstacle to settlement, not one
acre in fifty could be rendered produc-
tive without irrigation and artesian
wells, aud these are very costly"

Railroad Excitement.

A company has been formed for tho
purpose of building road north from
Cedar Falls, on the west side of the Ce-
dar River, to connect with the Mime
sofa Central. We are not at liberty to
speak more definitely of this movement
at prcsent.-Ceddr Fails Gasette. .s
The "wcst side of the Cedar Rivcr.nI
Is sufficiently indefinite to be tantaliz-
ing. Ii this company propose to run
surveys and make other dcmonstr,-
tions, calculated TO tickle the people of
Clarksville, and make glad the dwellers
upon the Shcllrock, they may hc re-
garded "a not in earnest. Tho line Of
the Cedar, SO far as the natural conforma-
alton of the country will permit is the
true line, for a railroad link between
the Iowa Central and the Minnesota
Central, and in our opinion the compa-
earnest, will adopt it without any un-
and towns. --Osagc fowdH. ..
Railroad managers are queer mortals,
and none can tell what they will do un-
til 1t Is done. We hear that the talk
now is that n route is to be run from
Jancsville, by way OF Shellrock aud
Clarksville, and that the track will he
taken up between Janesvillc and Wa
verify. The object of this is to head off
the Iowa Central, which now aims to
run up the Shcllrock and secure tho
Northwestern trade. The road will bc
built where the company think they
can make the most money, and If they
can do better up the Shellrock than up
the Cedar, they will go there. Our
neighbors up the river must not be too
sure; we have seen iairer prospects
than theirs blasted If they wish to
reap the benefits of Railroad communi-
cation with the rest of the world they
had better make IN effort to secure t.
They may he too backward; they may
wait too long. Prompt, early and effect
i've action can do no harm, and it may
re of incalculable benefit Wureriy

Misplaced Affection.


Love is blind, that is certain. Love
at first sight, sudden disarrangemcnt
ofthe subtle currents that course around
the heart OF the human anatomy, which
has been doubted by frigid theorists, il
fact for the present beyond question.
70 the proof. At the theatre on MOn-
day evening Mile Jenny Day made
her first appearance upon the st. Paul
stage. She was beautiful, graceful,
charming, and made a profound sensa-
ton under the velvet vests of II number
of amorous young men. After the
/ theatrical performances came the ball,
and hardly had the curtain dropped
before the adolesccnt son of Il wealthy
citizen (of whose numerous triumphs
over :" the fair" and of his reputation
as 4 iadykillcr, he is Llost justly proud,
| presented himself before the fascinating
| Jenny, and begged so eloguently, for
her hand in the first dance that Jenny
hadn't the heart to refuse. At the end
of the first dance the cnraptured Lo-
! thario appealed for her delightful COM
paniOnship through the second dance,
then through the third, and so on to
the close OF the festive occasion. The
Establishments of the young man, his
honeyed words, the electric pressure OF
his feverish palm, all combined to open
the door of Jenny's gushing heart, and
he revelled i'm bliss. He monopolized
all the attention of the delicate crea-
turc, fondiy pressed her fairy waist as
he whirled her passionately through
the infinite mazcs Of the waltz, gave her
q sweeter, stronger embrace, which
was reciprecated by the dear exotic
soul resting her peach cheek languishly
upon his palpitating bosom, as they
floated through the witching move
ments Of the Schottishe. In fact, the
young man stuck to Jenny with te'
nacity and success that was the envy
of one hundred beholders, and he con-
sidered himself the most fortunate OF
mortals. At the close of the entertain
ment his joy was crowned by being
PERMITTED to escort the ravishing Jen
ny to the sylvan bowers where shs
usually took her hash. He waited i'm
patiently for her appearance from the
dressing room, that he might once mort
snatch her wildly to his heaving heart
She came. But

by her companion, with the remark,

-TIITING HOpPs.-The "tilting hoop

spirit, and the "war goes bravely on"

serrer, says:
Claiming that n lady has as good II
right to show her graceful feet, as man
his great, ungainly, uncouth append

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Browning OF Four Persons.

Correspondence of The Chicago Republican.
WESTERN COLLEGE, Linn Co., Iowa, May d.
\ terrible calamity occurred here on
Monday last, by which four persons
lost their lives. A number of the citi-
zens of Western, and not few of the
students of Western College, left here
early in the morning for the Cedar river,
about eight miles distant, on fishing
excursion, expecting to have pleasant
time together. On arriving at the river,
and every thing being in readiness, they
commenced sCining up the stream, lcav-
ing behind, at the point of starting,
all the ladies, children, and four young
gentlemen.
About 10 o'clock A. NJ, the scining
party having advanced up the river
about one mile, it was proposed by the
ladies that thay take II ride upon the
river. An old boat that was lying near
by was launched, into which two
young gentlemen and two young ladies
entered, and pushed out rapidly into
the stream When about the middle
Of the stream, the bout cap~ized where
the water was ten feet deep. The two
young men upon the shore instantly
plunged into the stream to the rescue
but, although every effort was made by
those two heroic young men to save the
party, all were lost and, but for the
timely arrival of some OF the party from
above, the rcscuing party would have
been lost. The names of the persons
lost are Mr.. Ezra Davis, Miss Mary Da-
Wis (brother and sister, Miss Annie
Reisinger of Foreston, H., and Mr..
John &. Chamberlain of johnson coun-
ty, Iowa.
After one hour, two of the bodies
were recovered, those of Mr. Ezra Davis
and Miss Annie Rcisinger. Since that
time diligent search has been made
day and night for the lost ones, but up
TO "Wednesday, at IL O'Clock L. NJ, with
out success. Miss Reisinger and Mr.
Chamberlain were STUDENTS of Western
College. May our Father in Heaven
console the afflicted parents and rela-
tives. w. B. w.
j. s. Since the above was written the
body of Mr.. Chamberlain has been re-
covered, not more than six rods from
where he went down,
