Cairo g Vincennes Railroad

The Cairo Times says the bonus re-
quired for this road has been more
than made, up. Dr. MITeHELL, of
Saline County, started last week for
Washington City with donations made
in and by the counties of Saline,
White and Wabash, and the amounts
raised in. Cincinnati. On Sunday of
last week, Messrs. HURD and HALL
DAY, of Cairo, started for the same
destination with the donations of that
city, and also those of Alexander,
Pulaski and johnson Counties. They
expect to meet at Washington Gen
eral BURNSIDE and General RAUM.
There will then be majority of the
Directors of the Company there, and
the contract, it is expected, will be
completed with General BURNSIDE
for the building of the road.
It is claimed that there is no longer
any question about the building of
this road, and the people along the
route soon expect to have direct com
munication with Indianapolis by rail.
The Indiana branch of the Cairo and
Vincennes Railroad was organized
short time ago, and Gen. BURNSIDE
elected President. The work will, it
is said, commence at Cairo, on this
road. in very short time, and will be
pushed north with all the energy that
money and good management can
control.
Our information from Cincinnst ii
leads us to doubt the statement that
the bonus asked from that city has
been entirely made up; but the indi-
cations are that an arrangement will
be- effected with Eastern railroad
which will ensure the sue
cess of the enterprise.

Advertising misunderstanding "a
Oar Merchants.

We took occasion a few days ago to
call the attention Of our business
men to some Of the plain principles
of advertising, and expressed the
opinion that the amount invested
in the multitude Of catch penny ex-
pedients presented to our citizens so
frequently by strangers was so much
money thrown away. We have case
just in point. Some months ago our
business mea were solicited to give
their cards for insertion in Business
Mirror" which vas 20 contain a look
ing glass, surrounded by the cards obs
tanned, and enclosed in neat and at
tractive frame. One thousand Of them
we're to be prepared and hung up in all
the hotels, depots, steamboats,, business
houses and other prominent places in
this city and the surrounding country.
We were informed on Saturday by Mr..
JIM. GEUPEL, who had the contract
for making the frames, that he pre-
pared just fifty of the Mirrors" and
that he was not paid for these. The
rest of the " Business Mirrorsi1 he
stated were new lying in the job of
fee where they were printed. Just
enough were made to fur ish EACH
advertiser with copy, and possibly
few of the hotels and steamboats,; so
as to enable the shrewd canvassers to
collect their money from the dupel
merchants, and depart for some other

CathoILcLsnl and Iae Negroes.

Immediately following the close of
the war, the Roman Catholic Church
in this country took prompt action
for the purpose of PROSECUTING the ne
groes of the South. During the war
that Church had no word of sympathy
for the oppressed race, and its ad-
herents everywhere identified them
selves With the party which struggled
to perpetuate the cruel bondage in
which they had been suffering. But
no sooner was it apparent that their
freedom was secured and that they
might become a political power in the
land, than we find the heads of the
Church coming together to devise
means to bring as many as possible of
the freedmen within its pale The
powerofEthe Rsmish Church IN this
country is recognized. It is not sur
prising, therefore, to learn that it is
having success among those whom it
had previously ignored aud despised.

York World, already boast of
the dedication of Romish Church in
Charleston, to be devoted exclusively
to the Africans. Other buildings viii

Forwarding this great work. The De-
mocracy, of course, rejoice at every

than to postpone it longer. The Nor

powerful and more defiant, and it is
certainly due to our self-respect as a
nation that some decisive course in
