A Sacred Duty.

We honestly believe, from the lights be-
fore US, that Captain Jackson. and his as
sistant Registrars, for Augusta, will give
us fair registration. We believe they
have but one ideain performing their duty
-viz, strict obedience to General Scho-
field $ order. We regret to learn that some
good men will not register. This is all
wrong. It can hurt no honest man TO reg
lister and secure the inestimable privilege
Of voting. In fact it is a sacred duty all
owe to themselves and their country. Il
you have any doubts go to the Registrars
and satisfy yourself, but never let it be
said that a free citizen Of "West Angus
ia, "shirked" duty SO plain, or "dodg-
ed'' responsibility SO incumbent upon
him.

The Future.
The Baltimore Gazette concludes an

AAV VU0AA
The Baltimore Gazette concludes an
article on the Pacific r. r. as follows:
"But if itbe satisfactory to reflect upon
the magnitude and value Of the magnif-
cent region that is to be sorapidly thrown
open to the American people, and upon
the development and material prosperity
which may await it. it is a difficult matter
to venture upon any conjecsures concern
ing its political future. It is perfectly
clear to us that this country can no lon
ger be governed under our old Constitu-
tomas now interpreted. Asa confederation
of independent, sovereign States we might,
with some few notifications of our former
system, have gone on in tolerable harmo-
ny for years to come. As consolidated
empire we cannot get along with republi-
can institutions. In so large territory
conflicting sectional interests Of a violent
character and on stupendous scale will
constantly manifest themselves. With these
Congress will be constantly meddling, and
as they will all have their vehement rep
resentatives and advocates on the Goor,
that body will mostly fail to reconcile
them, and it will always embitter grow
ing enmities. The attempt to maintain
in this country the political system under
which we lived before the war will inevi-
tably fail. The Government will be com
PEELED to organize permanently in the
North and West the crushing despotism
it has set up in the South, or else this gen.
Grafton will live either to see the United
States resolved into several nations or to
witness reputation and more civil war
The Pacific Railroad gives the country
practical possession Of magnificent do
main which is so soon to TEEN with thriy-
ing population and to grow prwerful in
wealth and resources, but whether good
or evil is to result from its development
remains to be SEEN"

Concerning the late high prices Thread
stuts and the prospect, the Chicago Tri-
5nne says s'There is no confidence in the
continued high prices Of wheat Or -four,
and notwithstanding the vigorous efforts
of holders, prices are going down at long
strides. No. aspiring wheat sold in this
market, t7o weeks ago, at 81 IS per
bushel, and yesterday the same article
sold for So IL. There IS no speculative
increment. Dealers oaly purchase enough
from day to day to meet the actual de-

about the "Constitution" and the ssreserv-
