THE GREAT COMING CONTEST.
BY Pm. SUTTON.

oh comrades awake, there's a battle ahead,
To be fought by the boys in blue,
The week ones have faltered, the ingrates have
fed,
And the contest is now left for you
The nation reposed in her heroes of peace
But alas sue confided in vain,
Till Freedom now calls for her mightier sons
To fight DER her battles again.
The sky we left clear has been darkenef again,
The clouds are obscnring the light
And freedoms bright day, which we bought with
our blood,
Is too rapidly turning TO night
The fires Of secession trusted were out,
But they're kindled and blazing anew,
And there seems to be one to quench the wild
flame
But the true and tried boys of the blue.
Then stand by the hag that triumpbauily floats
Ger the graves of the starved and the slain,
The fights for the cause in which brothers have
died,
And a vict' ~ will crown again.
Americas freedom shall never be lost
Though betrayed and dishonored IL be
The millions that suffered, the millions that bed,
Still stand by the flag of the free.

THE CHAPLAIN.

The person who arogates to himself
the title of Chaplain" says in Sunday
mornings Gazette, that the "Parson''
has forgot his usual gentlemanly bear
ing and descends to what is very much
like blackguardism.
We own up, that descending 10 notice
in any manner whatever, the Chap
Inns" articles, lays us liable to be called
blackguards. How could it be other
wiser When one steps upon the inclined
plane of the moral being of a man, who
purposely Inisquotes and garbles the
language of another, he should not es>
cape censure. therefore we apologize to
our readers for descending" to notice
either the man or his articles, (the lat
ter is like the former.) and we promise
not TO do so in future. We prefer TO
leave him indulging in his sell gratula-
tions. for having lodged every PROPOSE
ton in the 'Parson Papers" and also
to leave him in his pride for having
RoctayRdlty dodged those who were rddi-
ecitty right in the early days of Montana.

THE CATTLE PLAeUE.-This disease,
which is now creating such an excite
ment in the East, and which it is not
impossible may be imported to this
Territory as it was to the States 10y cat,
tie driven from Texas. has its symptoms
thus described by an exchange:
First the milk begins to fail. Then the
ami Ual droops It's head near the ground the
ears also drooped and moved with apparent
pain-the he'd, when opportunity offers, i
pressed against any hard or cold substance.
About the second day of the attack trembling
of the flanks, and short and hard breathing
ensue, the animal becomes very weak and its
legs bend and are unsteady under its
weight; there is disposition TO lie down and
almost Immediately arise, and this continues
until the third day, when the disease usually
terminates fatally, few cattle living into the
fourth day after the attack. Only cows have
so far been attacked Immense numbers of
ticks nno lice arn genernlly found upon the
bag OF nddefe OF the COW, or la the 6as n4sr

TYPoGRAPHICAL ERRoR.-The par
sons" last paper on The Situation as
it appeared in the daily, is made 10 read
as follows: Government has. by too
speedy reconstruction committed an
error, which, unless speedily retracted,
must prove fatal" Had the futile scrib.
bier for the Gazette reao the Weekly
PosT, printed the same morning. hs
would have discovered the correction
properly made, and found that the word
corrected" was used in the manuscript
instead of "retracted." Again, had the
scribbler possessed a reasonable amount
of common sense and analysis, he would
have found in the article on "The Situ-
alton" specific suggestions as to the
mode of correcting and preventing the
disastrous consequences likely 10 grow
out of too hasty reconstruction. We
regret the necessity of being compelled,
by an error of the typo, 10 notice the
offspring of the added brains of the
Gdzette's chaplain" When the Gazette
Turns OuI u CuaPialh Win Cledr anu
unmuddled brain il will be time TO no
tice his illusions, until then, he can gain
no notoriety by a recognition. 1t is
only our intention to invite notice to
the article rs il appeared in the Weekly
Posi-, duly corrected of the typographi-
cal errors. Right onward is the
motto of earnest Radicals, without stop
ping TO listen to the canine barkings of
one who learned how to appreciate
the Radicals of Montana in 1864, when
they bore aloft the "tallow candle" and
the rope" We know the alphabet of

OK team style. The periodic dIain on
our population which now occurs every
fall, will, also, in great measure be
stopped. During previous years the
miner has seen before him long winter
and, although perhaps probable, yet
now or never" feeling seizes him ana
he fees by way of the Missouri River
from the possibility of hardship. With
the railroad comes an opportunity to
take his departure at any time at such
price as nearly all can afford, price
which is constantly becoming less.
With the facility for visiting home at
any time comes the Indifference as to
whether lis visited or not, for all know
that characteristic of human nature
which prompts US to always cpvet those
blessings which we have not, and to val.
lie lightly those we have. Our popula-
ton will, therefore, while more rapidly
increased by the new arrivals, be to a
less extent diminished by departures,
and become more permanent. Instead
of leaving work half done in order not
to lose the golden opportunity for reach
ing the States by river, our citizens will
remain TO finish one job, and then an
other and another, until finally months
and years will slip by, they will become
interested in a permanent business and
all thoughts of making the States again
their place of residence will be aban-
doned. But one of the immediate and
most prominent effects which the build
ing of the railroad will have upon
our Territory, will be shown in
the price of goods. Matches
will never again be sold at one dollar
per box, coal oil at eight dollars per gall
lon, nor flour at one hundred dollars per
sack. Freight can now be brought from
New York to Helepa in forty days, at
fifteen cents per pound, and some of our
merchants already have goods on the
way to this city, shipped on those condi-
tiOns. Such being the case, no demand
fer an article can long remain unsup-
piled, and more uniform scale of prices
will prevail throughout the year. Mer-
chants will neither make so large profits
nor suffer so large losses; business will
be done upon less speculative and
more legitimate basis, and both the sell
er and the buyer will be thereby bene-
flied. The river affording the cheaper
means of transportation will still remain
the principal channel through which
supplies will be received. and Helena
will still remain the natural distributing
point for the Territory; but goods will
seldom command a higher price than
that which would yield a reasonable
profit when shipped by railroad from the
East. To the increased safety which
the railroad insures % the transmission
of treasure, mails and goods, we can on
ly refer. AS a source of benefit TO the
Territory il is point worth considering.
And thus we have presented but few
of the many advantages we shall derive
from the U. p. r. II. With these before
us, and the certainty that ten fold great
er benefits will accrue to us by the con
struction of the Northern road, can any
one have a doubt as to the glorions fu-
ture that awaits Montana?
