we puoilsh the following from
the Blairstown Herald. Recent
events make it almost certain that q
survey will soon be made of the
Ottumwa & st. Paul road through
Marengo, B)airstown, Vinton, indie.
pendence, &c.
THE NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD.
GAS some of our people have been
euquiring as to the ability of the
"Ottumwa & st. Paul r. R. Co.," to
build the road which they propose
we addressed q letter of inquiry to
General Hedrick Of Ottumwa, and
from him received the assurances
that this company is composed of
twelve Of the most wealthy and de-
termined men in Ottumwa, fully
able to command the necessary
amount Of money for the building Of
the road. Also that they are assured
Of the assistance Of other Railroad
Companies, including the North
Missouri Road, so soon as reasona-
bic amount Of local aid is secured
along the line. This settles that
question.
"Now We are in receipt Of q letter
from Mr.. Dixon, Secretary of the
Company, informing US 'that the
engineers will have completed their
present preliminary survey via
Belle PLANE in about two weeks,
when they will be ready to run over
our line. Mr.. Dixon says further,
that no was much pleased with our
route as far as he travelled over it.
it being that portion of it from
Blairstown to Vinton also I'VE
have as yet settled on no route
The connections that we can make,
directness and feasibility of route
and amount OF subscriptions along
the line will Of course be important
matters for US to consider when we
come TO locate the road
"We are also in receipt of letter
from Hon. Jed. Lake, of Indepen-
dence, in which he says sour folks
are all anxious to have your road
built to this place and will give
Literally towards it. We have also
before us the Independence Bulletin
which urges the project upon the
people as one Of the most importance
to them. We have conversed with
quito number of tho leading men of
Vinton and find but one view upon
the subject and that in accordance
with our own. The Eagle and
Journal have both spoken decidedly
in favor of the scheme. We are
thoroughly satisfied that Vinton
will not be behind! 1t has no such
record!
From Marengo wo havo heard
nothing except a good notice or two
in the Republican. This paper has
urged the matter upon tho citizens,
but il there has been any response
on their part we have failed to SEQ
it. To us it seems astonishing that
when such an opportunity is affor-
ded them thoy should lot it Slip

the real meaning of this singing the Rhine.
Desiring il to be understood 10y all our readers,

and when Theirs was Prime Minister of France,
a war heweon France and Germany was mmi-
neut. Founded ON the unanimous and patriotic
sentiment throughout Germany, a man by the
name of Reckor, and not known as a poet, wrote
what has ever since been known as DaS Rbeia-
Aed (The Song of the Rhine) 1t created then
the widest excitement all over Germany, and
was sung in The churches, schools, streets, ana
everywhere, and 10y everybody.
War was then aycrted, but for any future war
with France Das RhsMled remained the German

Coon manners are the blossoms of good sense
It may be said, of feeling, too for if the law Of
kindness be written in the heart, it win lead to
disinteresicdness in little asw well as great things
that desire to oblige and attention to the gratid-
cation Of others which is the foundation Of good
manners.
