in his own breast important facts concerning

in dismissing them we will say that if they

We are glad to learn that this highly i'm
portant project is making most favorable
progress. A gentleman who accompanied the
Cairo directors on tour of inspection, last
Tuesday, informed US yesterday that the work
will be finished TO the crest of Logans hill by
the first of February, and that the force of
| hands are working now at the foot of the
bluff. The timber, to the width of sixty feet,
| is cleared from the route Of the road which
now presents clear, open vista, with gentle
curves, as far rs the eye can reach. There is
an abundance of gravel directly along the
line, and this will be generously employed in
the grading A four foot embankment across
the bottom will furnish a reliable thorough
fare to the hills at all times when it is posi-
bic for the ferry-boat to land at the river ter

angels visits, or truths from the pen of Pa
ducah editor-few and far between.
On the bluff, in sight Of the road and COM
manding an extended view Of the Mississippi,
are u number Of as fine sites for residences rs
can be found within twenty miles of Cairo
When the timber is cleared from the bottom,
residents at that point will have an unob-

| We accept, rs not altogether undeservcd
the frequent assurances we receive that the
Bulletin is popular with the masses, and a
| fearless and energetic friend of Cairo. No
| paper ever yielded so much space to the dis
cussion and encouragement of those under
takings among our people looking to the adj
vancemcnt OF the city, or to defense Of the
rights and claims of Cairo as connected with
those other enterprises less local in their ma
ture. To do this is work of love with us,
because we are inspired by the certainty that
Cairo is bound to work out destiny that will
city and railroad center of the Mississippi

That our labors may be more effective in
this behalf we ask, we implore citizens who
gain knowledge of facts that are calculated
to promote the well being, or to add to the
business distinction of the city, to commune
cate them to Us either by letter or orally.
We will employ such information to the best
advantage, if We know how, and thus present
TO the minds of thousands facts in our favor
which otherwise might have remained within
the narrow compass of single breast Come
on then, with your items concerning our bus
iness, railroads, commerce, manufacturers or
what not, and if you realize no other reward
you may enjoy the satisfaction of knowing
that you have discharged duty apparently

to interests with which your own are identified

The Irish Republic, organ Of the North
western Feniens, and the ablest of the
Irish journals of the country, has the fol-
lowing, which we commend to the prayer
ful consideration of the men of Irish birth
who are still doing duty in the pro-slavery
camp:
One thing has been long and mOurnfuIIy
evident to all Irishmen, who have minds
intelligent enough to understand the truth,
and conscience honest enough to feel it,
and that is, that oar race IS eUeyyl0lere hut
nliLiuted as lOeE as oppressed. They have
been driven to the slums and sewers Ofthe
great cities Of the earth, to the hard lot of
unencOuraged, ilI-rewarded toll, not only
in their own haplPss land, but in the
mines and on the praiTies Of America, and
on the burning sands of Australia, and all
over the world. What has made them so?
British tyranny? Yes. But not that alone.
They haze had faLse political Instruction.
They have been taught by men who were
not, and are not, true to human liberty.
These men-these Tammany Hall trait
Ors and plotters and pilferers-dO not want
cur people to become either intelligent or
Independent. That would not pay them.
They want to keep them what they made
them-mere TUmING, VOTING MACHINES.
There were men of our race and
country who saw this vile game, and who
resolved to check it. They resolved that
Irishmen would have an opportunity of
knowing what the true principles Of liber-
ty really are-Of liberty for themselves
and for all men; and for this purpose the
Republic was projected and published.
We announced, from the first moment,
as emphatically as words can give utter
ance to thoughts, ''that we were one with
the great party Of progressive liberty in
America" p" and that, so far as the Rppubli-
cans of the United States were for freedom
to all men-Irish and German, Gentle
and Jew-we were, and must be, Republi-
cans. We declared, as we now declare,
that to slavery and oppression, in any and
every form and shape, we are mortal foes
Would to heaven that majority of the
Irishmen in the United States could be
made to see as plainly as the Republic
sees, the way in which their duty to them
selves, their native land and the country
of their adoption, lies. The WOrk-With-
outlay party would be left stranded and
broken if this were the case.

Whisky Tax.

There are about 30 millions Of gall
Ions Of whisky made in this country
every year. In the last year of John
sons Administration, the tax on
whisky was taco dollars per gallon.
Johnson's robbers collected thirteen
million dollars taxes on whisky last
year.
Now the tax is SIXTY FIVE CENTS
a gallon, yet Grants officers are col
lecting tax on whisky at the rate OF
FoRTY-FIVE MILLION dollars annual
ly! This is as plain an example as
can be found illustrating the character
for honesty OF the two administrations.

About the middle of July a serious aCCi-
dent occurred in Bulwer village to pie
mic party going to castle Howard, who
made he journey in an omnibus. 1t seems
that the wife of one Of the men hesitated To
Join them, and tried to persuade her hus-
band not to 20, because she dreamed a
week before that they we're in omnibus
and were upset on going through village,
and were greatly injured the fright awaken
ing her. The man and wife, however, did
go; but on reaching Bulwpr, the woman
became excited. Not only, she remarked,
was the omnibus that which she had seen
in her dream, but the village was Chat in
which the accident she dreamed Of hap
pened. The words were scarcely uttered
when the omnibus was upset, and those on
the outside were thrown to the ground
with great violence. One man was rem
dered insensible by the omnibus falling
upon him, and sustained rather serious in
juries. The woman 10 whom the GCri-
Cident was revealed WAS badly hurt, and
her husband sustained disiOcation 0fthe
ancle. Every incident Of the accident
seems to have been pictured in the prenlun-
itOry dream.
