The tone, and temper of the people has

slavery is the radical destruction of all for
mer paths of thought as well as Of social and
political relations. I an and always have
been opposed to slavery 1 lost fifty slaves
by the war, which could have sold for an
average Of $500. I never would have sold

an injury to my young family. The great
lesson of self reliance must now betanght by

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

A few weeks since we noticed the opening
of the Union Pacific Railroad 10 Julesburg,
277 miles west of Omaha, and we now have
to report its completion to- Grow Greek, a
point 4S miles further west, making a, total
Of 425 miles. Fifty miles of, track in add
tion are graded ready foE the iron, and there
is no doubt of the completion of the road to
the base Of The Rocky Mountains early in
the Fall. The Company are confident that
the whole line 10 the Pacific will be open
for business in 1870. The Indians have
annoyed the surveying parties and tie
cutters, who are many ihundred fuiles in ad-
vance of the work but they have awhole-
some fear of the population that, railroad
carries with it, and all trains run without
interruptions. i naz
The business Of the Company has, been
mos, ,fattering. The earnings for the quarter
ending August Ist, werel about $70O 600;
but as the report for the last week in July
has not been received, The exact fraction can
not be given. These earnings accrued from
operating an average of not more than $50
miles Of road, and after deducting operating
expenses, the balance is far in excess of the
interest Obligsti.ns of the Company on the
amount of bonds they can issue on that
distance. 1t should be remembered that
this result is from a aOay business alone,
through new country, and is not to be
compared with the vast through business
that must follow the opening of the whole
line to the Pacific. The success Of the
enterprise seems toIbe thoroughly assured,
and we can see no reason why the First
Mortgage Bonds are not entitled TO rank
among the best securities. The daily sales
entertain the iaea Of advancing the price,

Tennessee EIestinn

rwsrN -
Tennessee is al right The election
resulted in an overwhelming Republi-
can success. Gov. BRowSLow and the
entire Republican State and Congress
ional tickets are elected. The majority
for the State Ticketi is about so, 600.
Every Congressman elected is radical,
and the Legislature is also largely Re
publican which secures the election of a
sound US, Senator in place of PAr.
rERsoK, the Presidents son-in-law. The
election passed off quietly. There is
no doubt now of the thorough recon-
struction of Tennessee. The rebel
Democracy is completely routed. The
rest of the Southern States will follow
in the wake Of Tennessee, and become
as reliably Republican as Ohio. And
this, the first experiment of negro suf-
frage, proves that the emancipated
slaves will use the ballot orderly and
appreciatively. Nine-tentbs of them
voted the Republican ticket, as they
