A New Project.

On December lst, we announced that Mr.
r. q. Siller had left for Chicago, st. Louis
and New Orleans on an important business
project, the Lature of which was withheld at
the request Of Mr.. Siller until such time as
its probable success should he ascertained.
As the New Orleans Times Of the 18th indi-
Gated that be is fair on the road 10 success,
we may nov make the object Of his visit pub
lie by quoting the follwing from our New
Orleans exchange:
" Mr.. Siller, Of Dubuque. a leading grain
man Of the West, arrived here yesterday to
confer with Mr.. Highly, Of the Elevator Com
pany, and Mr.. Tucker, Of the Illinois Gem
tral Railroad, in reference to the movement
0. wheat to Liverpool from the farthesi points
in Iowa along the Iowa division ofthat road.
They have chosen the farthest points to be
reached by rail so as to fully try the expert
ment Of grain shipments through our port.
Mr.. Sller has already made arraugemsnts
with the Barge Line at St. Louis on bis, way
down, and Mr.. Rea, the President Of the
Barge Line, will do everything in bis power
70 carry out the project. The elevator xfHf. ;.
Louis 10 nov ready 70 work, and The os-s af
Cairo will be ready by the lst Of Japuary.
Mr.. Sller returns TO Chicago and Dubuque
at once to begin the movement of wheat
We look for the corn men next, although
corn can hardly lie moved before the lst Of
January"
In this connection, and 10 show our peo>
pie that there is vitality in this movement,
that others than the immediate buyers are
awake to the importance Of this important
outlet for our commodities, we quote another
extract from another column Of the same pa.

capitalist, and one OF tho largest share bold.
ers in the Illinois Central Railroad, left Cai> |
ro yesterday on a visit to our city, 10 inves-

When such interests as these become en-, |
listed in this movement. near to every pro> |
ducer in the Northern Mississippi VALLEY. it |
would seem that the day is not far distant |
when the present Ouerous transportation.tax |
that undertakes every bushel Of grain and |

OUR HEROIC DEAD.

T Quatermastcr General M,igs has
just issued the sixteenth number al
the ''Roll Of Honor prepared in tbs
cemetral branch Of his office. The ii>t
contains 30, 500 names, and IL evu
posed Of soldiers who enlisted in tie
Eastern States. This volume Of Tie
"Roll Of Honor" increase the total
number of graves now recorded i.
printed form to about 15O, 600. It ~
estimated that there yet remains to be
printed the records OF about 10000
graves vt deceased eolIier Of ,lle
Union army, making an aggregate of
3C5, 600 graves; and it is also thought
that OF this whole number tie names
of at least 100000 of the occupants
will never be recorded. Many Of these
unknown remains were doubtle>s
marked by their friends or comrades
at the tine OF their burial, aud re-
cords OF the names Of many others
were doubtless made at the time VIII,
buried IN groups or from hospitals,
and may have been preserved in con-
nection with the plans or schedules
OF the position Of the graves by the
intimate. friends OF the dead. It i
desirable that persons who may have
such in their possession should know
thht it is the wish Of the Quarterma,-
ter's Department TO recover and make
use of all such means Of identification.
When they are received immediate
steps will be taken to establish the
identity of remains; to incl sc and
properly decorate the graves and to
have the name and place recorded ~
printed form. It is the intention ofthe
Government to identity the graves Of
all, if possible, and monument each
one with an iron he..d block, properly
and correctly lettered.
The whole number of soldiers Who
fell in the war is supposed to be ass.
600, exceeding the number of recog.
nized graves by $4,000. The number
OF those who died at their homes al
ter being mustered out, from
wounds OF disease contracted while
in the service, IN not embraced iu tie
above estimate.
The lists to be printed in the future
will contain the names of must Of the
soldiers buried in West Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas. Missouri. Kan

aESTER VAUGHN.

The public deiestation Of infantcide has
found violent development in the decision of
q Philsdelphia Jury that Hester Vaughn, q
young and handsome English girl, shall be
hanged BY the neck till she is dead, for the
alleged crime ofkilling her infant child, born
under most distressing circumstances.
Hester came to this country from Enc>
land with villain whom she supposed to be
her husband; but was soon deserted By the
6eud who had another wife. In q strange
country, without home or friends, she fell .
victim TO another villain a. black hearted as
the FIRST, BY the telling of whose name she
could save her life. She refuses to do this,
for be is now married and Hester refuses 10
send terror to the heart Of his young and de-
ceived wife.
We are told that in wresched earret in
Philadelphia, while in state Of insensbili>
~ produced BY bodily misery and mental
agony, her child was born. She remained
for days unattended until discovered By q
nsighbor and brought out Of her terrible
condition. When brought 70, her child vas
found dead by her side, with . very slight
indentstion 10 its skull. For this = Phia>
delphis jury sentenced her to be hung, and
more cruel, inhuman verdict seldom is
rendered in the United States. We are glad
to learn that the case has attracted the At
tension ofs very large number Of influential
rnen and women in New York and else
where, who are making strenuous efforts to
procure from Gov. Geary pardon which be
viii hardly fail TO grant.
Though our society he the most enlight,
ened on the face of the earth, yet are many
OF its customs and rules of social recogni
tion, in regard to women, fit only for a ma
tion Of barbarians. We take the seducer
and wife deserter to our hearthstones and
shower on him the favors Of social inter
course, while for the forsaken wife, insane
with grief and want, We have q gallows and
its rope. For the criminal woman, who,
like Mrs. Cole, deliberately takes upon her,
self the obligations of wife and a. deliber.
ately disreeards them. We have not one ex,
cuse to make; but forthe want>crased young
woman 10 the city, homeless and fiiendless,
there should be protection and friendly q,
sissance, and not the gallows or the prison
grate.-Auyoro Herald.

After looking at them half minute, he
remarked:
"Them's nice falls; let's 60 up and look
