THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD,

Nearly half the voters of Cincinnati
went to the polls on Saturday and cleo
ted to appropriate Sl0,000,000 to the
building Of what is to be known as the
Southern railroad. The total number OF
votes cast was 6,93S, Of which IL, 439
were in the affirmative and only 1900
in the negative. This would indicate
that ninety per cent of the population
favor and ten per cent oppose the under
taking. This is regarded as an extra
ordinary result when the magnitude and
supposed risks of tho enterprise are con-
sidered. The Cincinnati GCgctte thinks
the Importance of that road to Cincin-
natl cannot be over estimated, and adds !:
A glance at the map shows how valua-
bic it ;uust prove. Nature has given us
the shortest and best route to the South
to q point connecting with the great
and growing system of Southern railroads.
1t only remains for us to mako this great
natural advantage available. But, as
already remarked, the value of the pro-
posed railroad connection cannot be over
estimated. This nation is now one in
broader and deeper sense than at any
former period ltrests everywhere upon
the basis of free labor, with one flag, that
floats i'll triumph over free territory
Under the system of slave labor the South
prospercd and was wealthy, but the past
affords no basis upon which to estimate
the future. In even greater proportion
than the West will the South grow under
free labor. 1t is the most inviting field
in the world for young men, and the time
is near at hand when the great rush of
cmigrants will be in that direction. -
From the harvest that will follow, Gin
cinnati, with her short and direct trunk
road, will be in position to gather more
than her share of the fruits. Between
the extreme East and the extreme North,
Cincinnati will stand in the direct road,
and here will be the great depot for the
exchange of commodities. We shall
also be on the direct and, what will ulti-
matoly prove to be, the most practicable
route to the Pacilic-a line over which
there will DO uninterrupted communica-
ton during the entire year.
With railroads branching out in every
direction; with our great water chan
noIs; with a canal at the falls of the
Ohio that will pass tho largest vessels
that float on the Mississippi; with the
shortest and best line to Europe, via Bal
timorc, with our great manufacturing in
tcrests; with our immense mineral re-
sources, as yet only partially developed
with our great mercantile capital, and
with a working and industrious
in city and suburbs of $780,
600, who can predict the future of Gin
cinnati?

Something Wrong.

From the first issue of the JOURNAL to some time
last Spring we received regularly in exchange The
AacOn Daily Telegraph and we appreciated if we
did not fully reciprocate the obligation. 1t was
then discontinued for some cause unknown to us
and we have missed the reading of very excellent
paper This week we again find on our table the
Telegraph. How is it
One word tie our Daily Exchanges. Weekly
paper should justly estimate your value; but we
are afiad the estimate is not always reciprOcaed.-
We think the Daily paper loses nothing by ex
change with well-conducted Weekly even when
no pay is rendered, as is generally the case, in adj
vertising.

independence Ody-heSultS not GLORIOUS.
few of the colored and white people of Marietta
celebrated Monday the fifth instead of the 4th which
came in on Sunday. There were few negroes from
the country in attendance who mbibed too much
corn juice, and one Of them, from the effects Of
which used language that caused him 10 leave with
footsteps quick"
Seated in our office engaged in our accustomed dlI-
ties, in state of fogefuness of this memorable day
there came rumbling noise as of thunder, and a
sudden shock of an earthquake, when we were re-
minded that this the day agreed upon for the cee
bration of the National Independence This noise and
shock not the effect of either of the above clements
but was from the discharge of an artillery piece on
the hill of the National Cemetery. Soon after Sec
Ond discharge was made, but this was not attended
with the results 1t seems that three colored men
were reloading the piece of artillery when by some
unaecountabie means it was discharged, prosrating
and powder-burnng all three of them. Marion Jul
IAN and George Graham slightly, but seriously burn
cd George Matthias from the right side of his face
down hafhi body he will with care and attention
recover.
Sambo seems to be the worsted party in all the
privileges that has been conferred upon him. We
advise him hereafter to leave loading of cannons to
some else and stick to the Cotton patch, and he
will find it great deal more remunerative and less
fatafto life.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.

HAVANA, March %.
The Captain General will review the
troops Tomorrow.
In skirmish near Trinidad the rebel
General Schmidt was killed, and two
more plantations in that jurisdiction
were destroyed by the rebels.
A journal here reports Menacaragua
and Portreoi Gallano were burned by
order of Quisada.
Prensa reports that twenty-five In
surgents, mostly of high rank in the
rebel army, were captured and executed
within five leagues of Trinidad, but
adds that the situation in that quarter
is moro serions than it heretofore ap-
peared.
The Eco newspaper of MatanZas pro-
feses to have received intelligence that
Fearencio Jiminez, n rebel General, has
presented himself to the Spanish au-
thorlties to receive pardon. He says
that other leaders, members of the rev.
olutionary Junta at Villa Clara, will
follow his example, provided their
lives be spared, and they be guaranteed
safe conduct to some port from which
they can sail from the Island.
Haytian news of the Sth states that
Salnave had been defeated by the revo-
lutions with a loss of 100 men and eight
cannon.
st. Domingo dates of the 10th state
that General Superior and others mr.
rived off Porto Plata. The authorities
threatened to shoot them fthey landed,
and the proceeded to st. Marie, where
they remained at last accounts.
HAVANA, March %.
Advices from Santiago De Cuba to
the 18th, represent that the insurgents
are massing their forces on the south
side of the Island. The Inhabitants in
that quarter demand more troops for
their nrotection. The Havana Journals
are silent in regard to the movements
of the Government troops and insur-
gent force. Nothing has been made
known for some days of the operations
of Count Valmazda and Col. Lono, or
of the rebel General Quisada and Mer-
NAL. The DiGriO in a leading article
praises the Jesuites, and deeply regrets
that the society was not established on
the Island twenty years ago. All the
journals except the ToSc are reticent as
usual concerning the late exciting oc'
currences.
