Al enterprise, destined to have an i'm
portRrt Influence in developing the re-
aohroes of.the South Is now being pushed
to completion. Port Royal, s. c., and
Augusta, Ga, ITO miles apart, are to be
connected by d railroad, which, has been
surveyed, contracted for, and partially
CONSTRUCTED. :, The former place contains
incomparably the finest harbor on the
Southern Atlantic sea-board, which has
been suffered to. lie too long unemployed
and comparatively unknown. Vessels
drawing twenty two feet of water can
enter it, and within the ample estuary of
Broad River, the united navies' of the
world might ride, at anchor. The pro-
lected railroad will, it. is anticipated,
bring thither no small part of the pro-
dnce Of the Southern and South eastern
States. and even OF the Pacific coast. 1t
viii also become au important cotton
mart, having in this respect signal ad-
vantages over Charleston, Savannah, and
Mobile, whose harbors are closed to ves-
sells of ordinary draught, and therefore
scarcely worthy of the name.
The completion Of the railroad will
witness the foundation of what will pro-
bably become prosperous city, and per-
haps the most important port of the
oou'h, VIII tne exception OF New Or-
leans. Its site will be not far from the
town of Beaufort and it promises to
become moro congenial place of resi-
dence for Northern men than most of the
Southern towns. Northern capital will
build it, as Northern capital is now build
ing the projected railroad which is to
connect it with Augusta, and to the same
agency the, South may yet be indebted
Tor seaport equal in Importance to the
great city which Jefferson once antici-
pated would grow up at Norfolk.

The RED RIVER REBELLIoS.-The
Queens rebelIious subjects in the Red
River country are luieting down. They
do not express any desire for annexation
to The United States, but oppose, rather
than favor thar proposition. The priDsi-
pal csuse of all this trouble seems TO pro-
coed from their aversion to Canadian
rule, and while anxious to remain part
and parcel of Her Majestv's dominions
they ask recognition rs an independent
province, subject only TO the Euglish
government. Heretofore-they have been
sort of an appendage of Canada
ruled by Canadian oificiaIs-and in real.
ity subject to Canadian discipline. The
insurgents ask to be an English prov
encc, Independent Of Canada, and their
demand appears just ana reasonable
But whether England will use reason or
force to quell the disturbance is rot yet
apparent. s5.. -.5

ST. PAUL AND CHICAGO r.. r..

The ST. Pau. & Chicago R. Il. was
formally opened, at Hastings, on the 18th
inst with all the ceremonies due to the
occasion. Delegations were present from
s.. Paul, Red Wing, Prescott and other
places. Toasts were offered aud speeches
made by Hons. Seagrave Smith, Don
nelly, Gen. German, Hon. Edmund Rice,
president of the new road, ard other
prominent gentlemen.
The first twenty miles is now compile
ted and trains run regularly, leaving st.
Paul at ii 80 A. NJ, and Hastings at
$40 p. NJ, daily. 'i
The people of this county should
look upon the route as one whose infiu-
ence is favorable to them. 1t, in con-
nection with the Hastings & Dakota R.
r. will be powerful lever to draw the
West Wisconsin Railway to st. Paul by
way Of Prescott. Mr.. RICE, in the
course Of his, remarks, alluded to the
West Wisconsin by observing that the
distance from Tomsh to St, Paul, via
Prescott, was eleven miles less than by
the way of Hudson. and. further, that
the route was more practicable. In the
road just opened we have an arm TWEEN
IT, miles long reaching from St. Paul to.
ward the West Wisconsin. SO that the
road required to be bait by the West
Wisconsin to reach St. Paul by way oil
Prescott is thirty one miles less than by
the Hudson route. This is only ono
point in our favor: we shall speak of 9TH
ers hereafter.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
Observations and Suggestions by a
Visitor.

MEssss EDs:-Thinking your readers
will be pleased with few notes Of our
school by visitor, take the liberty Of
jotting them for perusal
DEPARTMENT NUMBER ONE.
In the nursery proper, l mean dept.
No. /, Miss BAssErr, teacher, l find
an average attendance thus Tar in the
term, Of forty five, though seats are pro-
vided for sixty five. The pupils range
from years to 10 in age. The room
is neatly kept, and well ventilated, care
being taken to open the windows so as
to avoid draft of air upon the pupils
| noticed blackboard exercise, which
affords recreation and change. while the
originality and initiative faculty of each
little one is seen in the varied forms of
letters and figures they produce. Block
letters and simpIs objects in the school
room are given as models for imitation.
The teacher, unlike some others, in
her reading classes corrects improper
pronunciation and that mechanical, drawl-
ing mode, so prevalent in the schools,
giving them an easy, conversational
style which is natural. 1t is too often
the case that teachers pay little regard TO
this matter. and pupils pass through in
termediate grades, Indifferent readers and
speakers. At recess the tedium Of en-
forced order aud position is relieved by a
recitation in concert or a song. A slate
exercise by all the pupils at their seats.
each having picture paper OF map as
copy, seems to be enjoyed and to be
profitable.
ITEM Several of the boys are al
lowed to wear scarfs at their seats. 1t
would be better if superfuous clothing
were prohibited while in the school
room, and colds will be avoided.
The quiet and order observed by 4s
little ones in this room, with the ex ercise
of SO little authority, is quite remarkable.
Miss BAssErr's mild yet firm manner, is
highly commendable and l doubt mot,
appreciated by the parents of her pupils.

Congress is fairly Mt work and mum
Der of important bills have been intro
duced. The Census Bill is now before
The House, and each section is being act
cd upon separately. The bill provides
for the taking of the census by the Unit
ed States Marshals. Mr.. Butler propos
ed an amendment to that section by
making it the duty of the assessors Of
internal revenue, TO take the census
The amendment was strongly opposed
aud rejected by large majority. 10 all
probability the United States marshals
Of the several states, and their deputies,
will be the census takers of 1870.

I'm Error. T@ si 1H5ih - 10y '.''
A number of weeks ago we stated in
effect that Mr.. BAIRD, Of Beldenyille,
recently, disposed of a team of horses
and wagon for 1925. He has this
week informed us that our statement was
a cussed no such thing, and in spelling
his name we made another error, all of
which taken, together being more than
human patience could bear. He in
formed us that the team must have be-
longed to Mr.. BARRErT, and that for his
own horses he would not take four times

request TO make this correction, regret
