Anew future OF hope and promise Is
opening for Germany, which has been
for centuries the theatre OF many wars
ana oflentimes the battle ground where
foreign powers In their contests have
PROVED their vAloT and superiority on
questions 10 which that nation bad lii
tls Interest, and 1t has bees the highway
upon which enrsged armies have sought
their foes, spreading ruin aud desolat'on
su their track but IL Is 20 be hoped that
In the new era which is bow apparently
opening, no obstacle will intervene TO
prevent the assumption OF the honors-
BILE and quiet position which the Ger
man people have so long struggled TO
attain. Some of the earliest but not
most successful efforts toward organic.
ing systematic industry were at
tempted in that country, and her trades
union leagues are all indications that
her people have an inherent tendency TO
manufacturing occupations. The sturdy
characteristics which distinguished
them in the days of barbarism still
clings to their children In the love OF
labor indicated in the zeal with which
they pursue peaceful avocations in
modern days. The same spirit that was
manifested by their ancestors to seek
new lands for conquest, and the labor
which makes the fields OF the Middle
and Western States return abundant
harvests to the toll OF the German hus-
bandman and clothes the vast prairies
with fertility is apparent. This type of
character, containing elements of sue
cess so markedly furnished in the indus
trious habits of the German in all avo.
cations, presages an earnest progress
among the people now to be connected
by the new union with Prussia, who by
this alliance will be relieved from many
of the burdens which have heretofore
retarded their prosperity and peace.
Recent events have opened bright
prospect in the future, for the German
who loves his country can now exult-
ingly say that his fond hopes are at
length realized and that his fatherland
has both a local habtation and name.
At the opening Of the Prussian Parlia-
ment, the king congratulated the people
that the North Germans were again
nation, united by a common bond and
inspirited with feeling of mutual sup
port. The day has long since passed
when German ruler could claim to be
Caesar, with all Europe in his power,
but the nation as unit can now, by
buryipg in oblivion it's old animosities,
renew its former glories, and forgetting
petty nationalities and col fctiDg inter-
ests, assume position suited to the re-
quirements of the present age. Ger
many includes in her boundaries the
central portion Of the continent, and al
though not possessed OF a great line Of
sea coast, yet she has command OF great
river systems which give easy commu-
nication with the nations that surround
her. She has been long recognized as a
manufacturing country, and the tenden-
cy of the population being towards the
peaceful and Industrial pursuits OF life
to which her geographical situation is
eminently suited, there would seem to
be no hindrances to bright career of
prosperity and rapid strides for Ger
many in the great march OF civilization.

BURLINGTON NEW S.-l ne schooner Adj
rondac arrived in Burlington on Monday
from Port Kent, with q cargo of iron.
She is the first arrival of the season.
Young Hart who took lodgings a
few nights since under the bed Of Mr.
Wilson, at the Howard House, under
suspicious circumstances, and was sub
sequently arrested, has been discharged
from custody, nothing beng found
against him.
"A chimney of the residence of Fran
els Logan on Water street, burned out
Sunday afternoon last, and sparks there
from fell into a pile of shavings in the
mill yard of Catlin & Gordon, setting
fire thereto. The flames were however,
soon extnguished, with but slight dam
age.
The Times says that, among other
thieving at the Church Street fire was
that of some bedding aud furniture from
the Central House, and valise contain
ing valuable papers from the store of
E. o. Wires & Co. Geo. 7. Smith also
missed costly dress pattern which he
was measuring for French Gentle
man" at the time the alarm was given,
Inspector Isham seized forty five
pieces of silk, two pieces of broadcloth,
a table spread and two brocha shawls at
room in the building corner of College
and White streets, Burlington, on Mon
day evening, on charge Of violation Of
the revenue laws. The property was in
possession Of q fellow named WEIGH, who
had offered them for sale at various
places in the city during the afternoon,
alleging that they had been imported
direct from England.
"A series of daring and sacrilegeous
robberies took place in Burlington on
Sunday evening, involving the robbery
of six Of the city churches of plate and
other valuables. The Times gives the
following particulars of the affair;
"Our recent fires have been quickly
followed by visitation Of burglars who
on Sunday night sacrilegiously visited
six of the churches in this city, in fact
all but two, st Josephs (French church,
and the Methodist, they being passed
over by the robbers. Where the bur
glars commenced their work is not
known, but they only succeeded in get
| ting plunder at the Unitarian, Third
| Congregational, and st. Mary's (Roman
Catholic) Church. The Unitarian church
was entered through window in the
vestry, which is in the basement, where
after breaking open the Sunday School
| Library, they made off with the com
munion service, including a baptismsl
font of solid silver, all valued at about
| 500.
The Third Congregational Church
| college Street, was entered through
one of the rear windows of the basement
! and the gold watch of the pastor, Rev.
| Mr. Stafford, and some valuable plate, in
! GLIDING wedding presents to Mrs. Sat-
! ford. carried OFF. Mr. Stafford is boarding
at present, hence he deposited his pro-
pertv valued at $500, in his study in the
! church for safe keeping. The commu-
MON service is not kept in the church so
1t escaped the fate of the pastor valua-
bles.
st. Mary's Church, so the sexton Mr.
McWiliams informs US, was entered
through a door in the basement, from
which the robbers found their way into

as a whole, is keeping Pace with the
most prosperous OF the States west Of
the Mississippi, in agricultural, mecilan-
zeal, and educational enterprises. Man

We have in Dubuque the ileaduuar-
ters Of a railroad company named as
above. John J. Blair is President and
James NJ. MciAiniay is Secretary. its
object is to build a railroad from Sioux
City in a sou.herly direction to an in
tersection with the Cedar RAPIDS &
Missouri River II. r.. "at some point
near and westerly from st. Johns in
to an intersection with the Iowa Branch
of the Union Pacific Railroad"
In order to encourage the
and to aid in building the road, the SUI
pervisors of Woodbury. county have
agreed-provided the people ratify the
barsain-to sell to the company, for the
sum OF one dollar, all the swamp and
overlooked lands which the County has
acquired and not disposed of, or may
acquire hereafter Ly virtue of the laws
OF the United States or of the State Of
Iowa-prOUided, that that road shall be
built II in operation by tile first Of
December, 1858. A contract to this
effectllas been made and signed by both
parties. On the llth inst, this contract
IS 10 &c submitted 10 the people OF the
County for ratification or rejection. If
they vote against the raiiroad,n the
contract will be Of 10 force. The deeds
for the lands are not to be delivered un-
Til the ROAD IS completed.
The young company is an energetic
one, backed by strong influence. and

time, and add another incentive for the
