Ground Broken on the Northern Paci-
fic Railroad.

On the 18th inst, at noon, the first
stroke of work was done on the North
Pacific Railroad, at the Dalles of the
St. Louis river, thirty miles from the
head of Lake Superior. There was
great rejoicing and the usual ceremo-
mics transpired. Speech making and
hilarity was the order of the day.
Our dispatches from these speak Of
the enthusiasm with which the people
were moved and the espec al jubila-
ton Of the Duluth people.
The building of the North Pacific
Railroad is now an ascertained fact.
The work will be pushed as rapidly
forward as the survay is made and
the line is located. They have album
dant capital for the commencement
of the work, and the bonds will be
sold rapidly enough to furnish funds
for the prosecution of the work. The
8IspiciOus commencement of the labor
OF the 18th inst. will be completed at
no great number of years hence, on
the shores of Puget Sound.

Senator Sherman's bill, providing
for an increase oil SIS 600, 900 to the
national currency, was passed by the
ton is to supply portions of the
country, the South and West, where
currency is now lacking. Three per
cent, certificates, now held by the
banks as a reserve, are to be called in
to that amount. Besides this, 500
600, 900 Of currency is To be with
drawn from States which have more
than their share, and transferred to
others that are deficient. The effect
of the law will be to enlarge the vol
ume of circulating currency slightly.
but we do not believe that 1t will be
of any permanent advantage to the
interests that are clamorOus for its
passage. Money will not be governed
in its movements by legal enactments,
and is always certain to graYitate to-
ward the centre of trade. Notes
issued in Iowa or Alabama are more
likely to be found in New York or
Philadelphia than anywhere else.
You can't make them stay at home.
This is the opinion of an eastern
exchange, and we think to a great
extent an erronius one. This $50, O0O,-
600 is needed in the West and South !;
to build new and needed improve
ments In the former, and to renew
and add to the public improvements
Of the later. It may not all stay with
US, but will bring US improvements
which will place us more directly in
the financial channel and to a great
extent mitigate the danger in future
Of as tight times as are now expe-
rienced throughout the West.

THE NEBRASKA CITY LEvEE.-On
Thursday Mr.. Tate, son of j.. w. Tate,
deceased, called upon the Mayor of
Nebraska City in person, and demand
ed of him a deed to that part of the
city known as the Nebraska City
Levee, claiming that it belonged to
the estate, by an undisturbed and
peaceable possession of ten years.
Mayor Dillon promptly refused to
comply with the demand. We I'M
derstand from the Chronicle that At
torney Grant will commence suit
against the city to gain possession for
the heirs.

REPORTED GOLD DISCOVERIES AND
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN INDIANA
Ierre HGute, Feb. 4.-The most in
tense excitement prevails in Clark
county in consequence of the discov-
cry of gold on Big creek, about TWEEN
ty miles from this city. A lately re-
turned californian. a miner of eighteen
years experience, has been for some
days prospecting in the ravines along
the creek, and in every handful of
earth he has found gold in paying
quantities. The people of that section
are wild with the gold mania, and
are leaving all other business to search
for the precious metal.

The following figures will give an
idea Of the Michigan lumber trade +:
The past year, on the eastern shore,
there were manufactured sc, 541 700
feet of lumber in boards and planks;
of shingles, 243, $40, 900 feet; Of lath,
ia, $50, 500 feet. Even the manufac-
ture of pickets foots up 4l0, 500 feet.
Many myriads of trees have fallen
this winter before the ak. The last
calculation leaves only thirteen years
to exhaust the whole pine growth of
the Huron region, though it is COM
puted that IS, SOC, 900, 900 feet of lum-
Der are still standing in these forests.
The value of the lumber products in
Michigan in the year 1859 cannot be
much less than $50, 600, 900, and the
business gives employment, in one
way or another, to not less than TWEEN
ty thousand men, and support to twice
or three times as many persons.

From the notices of Revivals in the
different churches which now ill our
exchanges, and from the glorious
home work now going on, one must
be led to the belief that an order from
above has been issued for a forward
movement "all along the line" on the
works of the "arch enemy of man
kind" From Indiana, from Ohio,
from Kentucky, from Missouri, from
New York and from the South we
notice that the NJ. E. Church is reap
ing glorious harvests for the Lord !;
and the Baptist and Presbyterian
churches are gaining accessioDs, and
are doing noble work. This awaken
ing of religious interests seems to US
the most remarkable for years, as we
see statements of where hundreds en-
roll under the banner of the Lord in a
evening. AS will be seen by
the above communication, the "work
goes bravely on" In Nemaha county
and with cheering success. And we
have just learned of a series of meet
ings held in the Illinois settlement,
in this county, by Rev. Joseph Press
on, and A. Folden, of the Tecumseh
circuit of the NJ. E. Church, which
has resulted in fifty accessions to the
church. Let the work go on, and
keep US posted, friends, in this as we'll
as ether news which may transpire in
your neighborhood.
The NJ. E. Church, of this city, has
also had a season of revival under the
auspices of Rev. D. May and Rev. DR..
Colt, resulting in over fifty CONVEX
sionsa and about twenty-five aceessiOns
to the church.

Mr.. EditOr:-Last night we had the
pleasure of listening to a sermon from
the text, 1.-THE Lord has done great
things for us, whereof we are glad"
Truly the people of London circuit
can adopt the text. A meeting COM
menced ut the London NJ. E. Church,
New Years Eve, under the pastoral
car of l.. F. Britt, which lasted two
weeks and resulted in seventeen con-
versions, and ten aecessions to the
church. AT the close Of this meeting,
a series of meetings were commenced
under the auspices Of the same pastor
at Fairv.ew church, lasting two weeks
and resulting in thirty-three CONVEX
siOns and twenty-eight to the church.
Immediately at the conclusion of these
meetings, a series Of meetings were
commenced at the Honey Creek school
house, by Rev. L.F. Britt, assisted
by Rev. T. S. Lowe, of the First Bap-
tist Church, BrOwnville, which re-
suited in twenty conversions, and
nineteen accessions to the M. E.
Church and six to the Baptist Church.
Truly, Rev. L. F. Britt has so endear-
ed himself to the people of London
circuit that we think it would be
wrong and detrimental to the interests
of the good cause should the con-
ference remove him to another field
of labor the coming year; but it would
be much better to leave him to watch
over the Lambs of the flock where
his labors nave been so signally bless
ed. To this we know that many of
children would respond, Amen.
