PRoGREss OF THE KANSAS PACIFIC RAIL- RoAn.--Of the progress of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, the Lawrence Republican says: "If we may juagn from the preparations now making by this Company, they calculate on extending the road very far westward the coming season. Long trains of ties and iron are constantly shipped to that point, and i'm mense piles of the former are brought by the farmers along the line of the road. The Cn- ion Pacific Railroad is the main life artery to the prosperity of Kansas and specially will this fact be seen when we are brought nearer 70 Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona"

Gratis, for instance, creased the rails
on the Kennebec Railroad to prevent
the Portland Republicans from get

stration at Augusta, in season. The
Republicans, however, chalked their
wheels and went ahead. This trick,
we believe, was in retaliation for one

their engine, in way to cause a per-
picking break of connection with the

The iChesteE BeInocrncy--Impos
:Tafnsotlt at Chester, ON the 18th.
The people of Chester and the ad-
Joining Districts had a grand demon
stration and barbecue, on Tuesday
last. Over 1900 persons were pre-
sent, and the crowd were enthusias-
tic. In the morning, Ex- Governor
Vance, of North Carolina, addressed
the meeting; and in the afternoon,
speeches were made by the Hon. G.
Cannon, Gen. Kennedy and Colonel
Thomas. James Minor addressed
the colored people, of whom o goodly
number were present. A radical
meeting near by absorbed the ma
jority of the colored people. These
Democratic gatherings are numerous
all over the State, and the whites
turnout en- asdsse and con spirito.
The spirit is firm and resolute and
unanimous. The white people OF
South Carolina, almost to man, are
Democratic; many of the colored
people are joining the Democratic
ranks-and the radical party is con-
fined almost exclusively to vagranta
from aboad, and the deluded colored
population. Every good man from
the North is heartily with the Demo
cracy; every true foreigner from
across the waters is in the same
category-and thus we move firmly
and steadily on.

WHOSE CHILD?-XENIA, ILLINOIS.
l wish, through your paper, the fol-
lowing facts may be circulated:
There is living in this County q
man who has in his possession little
girl, about six or seven years of age,
blue eyed, rather sandy hair, which
was stolen by Union soldier during
the last year of the war, somewhere
in the South. He brought her North
to this State, and his wife died. (he
not having any children, } the girl fell
INTO the hands of another person,
who wishes her proper parents to
have her. Now, this fellow says he
got her while on picket in Chatta-
nooga, Tennessee; we are not inclined
TO believe him, as he tells different
stories about it.
The impression is, he did not take
the child to relieve her from suffer.
ing, but he stole it from her parents.
who, perhaps, think tile child dead.
Now, sir, if you will give this place
in your paper, it might be the means
of relieving the hearts OF some good
and affectionate parents. The child
is here, and don't know her name in
full. only recolleots that they called
her Lucy Ann. She said her pa went
off with company Of men who had
guns. Her ma was away from home
with her, and she was out playing,
when soldier picked her up and
brought her of, promising to take
her back. 1 am ever ready and will
ing to answer all inquiries which
may be made. THOMAS Nj. COX.

Welearn that the present Governor

of any number of "outrages, perpe-
trated on the innocent blacks, by the
senguiRary whites of the State. It is
strange that we hear of these "out-
rages," only through the mendacious
and well-paid agents and instru-
ments ofradicalism. We affirm that,
rs general rule, the colored people
are treated kindly and generously by
the whites; and 80 long as the former
respect the law, this state of affairs
will continue.
But no one need wonder ct the
reception of these "outrages." They
are gotten up to order, and at given
