This railroad runs 234 miles north and south
through the finest and most thickly settled
portion Of the magnificent State of Iowa, and
is the only link wanting to connect the rail-
way centres at st. Louis and st. Paul by an

istipg route. This road offsrs many advau-
tages. The building of the railroad north from

rior, where five railroads will soon centre-the
construction of the North Pacific railroad, al.
ssady oegnu-sud the rapid development Of q
new and productive country in Minnesota and
the Northwest, must furnish large Southern
traffic. As the Upper Mississippi is frozen
over during the winter, and its navigation Is
often uncertain during the summer, from low
water, this road must have at all times large
amount Of transportation, and a monopoly of
the business at some seasons of the year. Its
connections with other lines interested by mu-
tual ownership or running arrangements, will
give 1t almost the entire north and south travel
between its terminal points and their vicinity
This road will have great advantage over
any other Western line in carrying the best
quality Of coal from where it IL abundant in
Southern Iowa to Northern Iowa and MINNIE
sofa, where none is to be found, and in secur-
ing return freights of lumber, for which the de-
maud is very great. -.
The construction of the road is not an exper-
iment, dependent upon any uncertain ueeoti.
alton of its bonds. It is in the hands of gen.
tlemen Of wealth and ability, comprising many
rience. Forty-six miles Of the line are JUS,
completed, and eigbty-eight more are graded
An abundant supply of iron, ties, and other
materials has been contracted for. The Com.
papy have large and daily increasing sur
plus of money on hand, and the stock sub
scriptions, and the sales Of the bonds, give
them ample means to push the work forward,
go that, with favorable weather, it is expect.
that the whole line will be completed this sea-
son. -1s.- s..
Security of the investment.
So far as we can learn, every completed
railroad In the Northwest is not only earning
the interest on its bonds, but dividend on its
stock, and we believe the Central of Iowa
must occupy an equally strong financial posi-
ton.
The amount of Bonds to be issued is but
$4,000 per mile or less than four millions, in
all, M ne
OF which over One Million have
already been Sold.
As we consider these securities among the
choicest in the market, we have NO doubt that
the remainder will be rapidly taken, 50 that it
may be we'll for parties desiring to purchase,
to do so at once.

SENATOR FOR THE TWENTY FIRST
DISTRICT.

Senator N. A. D. Bryant, of the Twen-
ty-First District has sent in his resigna-
ton to Governor Senter, and the Cover
nor has ordered an election on Saturday,
the 18th day of next January, TO fill the
vacancy. The Senatorial District is
composed Of the counties of Hard':i,
Hardeman and McNairy. From what
we have learned, the Hon N. A. d. Bry-
ant was induced to this course from mo-
tives of religious character. He is a
minister of the Methodist church, and
no doubt thought his duty was first to
the holy ministration Of his profession.
We have long known this gentleman, and
his ability and zeal as preacher of the
gospel is fully recognized by the church.
1t is a rare thing that one of his profess
sion, when induced to leave the cause of
Christ to engage in politics, ever sue
ceeds. He graces well the pulpit, but on
the stump is out of place, and rises only
TO a third rate politician. Brownlow
should reconsider his political course,
and engage again in the work of his
heavenly Master He would be much
more respected, and stand better
chance of escaping purgatory, where he
will go without doubt when he shall make
his exit from this world Every man to
his trade. The shoemaker should stick

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, December 9.-The second
session Of the General Assembly Of Vir-
ginia met Thursday. The annual mes
sage Of the Governor said that never in
the history of the Commonwealth had a
Legislature assembled upon which de:
volved graver responsibilities; had much
to say upon the finance, which he con
sidered one Of the most important sub
jeets had the views he'expressed in his
inaugural of the 9Th Of March been
adopted, the State debt would have been
reduced one hundred thousand dollars.
In regard to the settlement. Of the debt
between West Virginia and Virginia, he
says the better course would be to sub
nit the whole question to arbitration.
He concludes; The people of this Com
monwealth have again resumed their
places in the Union Of their fathers, with
earnest purpose and fixed determination
to fulfill all the obligations Of American
citizens.
There was slight fall Of snow here

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, December "a propo-
sal has been made in the Committee on
Banking and Currency to bring in bill
providing that one-tenth Of the'receipis
for import duties shall be paid in green
backs, instead Of in gold. The object OF
this is to appreciate the value OF the
legal tender and to open the read Tor a
return to specie payment. The PROPOSE
ton is understood to have originated
with the Secretary of the Treasury, and
is also Endorsed by the Comptroller OF
the Currency and other prominent Treas
ury officials. 1t does not meet the APP
probation Of majority of the Committee
ON Banking and Currency, and 1t IS not
believed that it can command sufficient
support to secure its passage in the
House.
DR.. Herman Bendel, late Lieutenant

On Tuesday Governor Yarmouth re
ceived telegram from the Adjutant
General of Louisiana, informing him
that affairs at Baton Rouge, growing out
of the recent election, were OF such
serious character as to require his i'm
mediate presence. Accordingly, the
Governor left for New Orleans the same
night.
The President was waited upon yester-
day by nearly the entire Pacific coast
delegation in the interest OF Commits
sioner Wilson, of the Land office. SEN
ators Nye, Stewart and Corbett were OF
the party. The President was requested
not TO remove Wilson, as it was rumored
he was about to do. The President gave
the delegation no particular satisfaction
as to what his line of conduct in this re-
spect would be, but informed them there
was no danger of immediate change in
this quarter.
1t is said to be the intention of Cali
fornia to make no formal request for the
of Mr.. Wilson in his position.

PORTER WRITES ANOTHER LETTER.

Admiral Porter bas written letter
to the President concerning the letter
purporting to have been written by him
in 1865 to Gideon Welles, the Secretary
of the Navy. Porter's letter is dated
December 3, and says his first impulse
was to 90 to the President and pro-
nounce the letter fabrication, as nei-
ther himself nor his Secretary could re-
member any such document. He then
enlarges on this failure TO remember,
after which he reflects severely on the
character Of man who for mischievous
purposes would publish private letter.
He then goes on to say that at the time
this letter is dated he was very much
annoyed at the failure of the attack on
Fort Fisher, and harrassed by the cares
and responsibilities of commanding his
feet on dangerous coast. The gist OF
the letter is in the following paragraphs:
TWAS under such excitement, | pre-
sumo, ! wrote the letter winch you say

They would whip out their six-shooters
on the slightest or no provocation; and
as there were ten or twelve of them, the
small police force had been powerless to
arrest them. On Saturday night one oil
them got into difficulty in the beer
saloon on Texas street, opposite Brewer !
Hall, when the whole party commenced
firing into the saloon, with perfect
indifference as to whom they might
hit, and one of them, meantime, shoot
ing himself in the knee. Strange to
say, only one of the occupants of the sa-
loon was struek--he receiving slight
wound in the arm although twenty shots
must have been fred into it. Mr.. Sher-
rod, the chief Of police, endea-ored to
check them, when they commenced an
indiseriminate shooting. Seeing that
mild measures would not avail, Sherrod,
after summoning his men to his assist
ance-who. rumor says, failed to respond
fired into the party, first with a shot
gun loaded with duckshot, and aiterward
with one loaded with buckshot. This
had the desired effect. and stampeded
the party. Mr.. Sherrod, not wishing to
kill any of them, aimed low.
The following is the list ofthe wounded;
Hamp Anderson, cap of knee broken; as
now in the hospital under treatment, and
also undera twelve hundred and fifty
dollar bond for his appearance; Andy
Carroll is badly wounded, and in Jail in
default of bond;' Bill Anderson, Bud
Dixon and Joe Parker made their escape
the former seriously wounded. We
would here remark that Mr.. Sherrod de-
serves the highest praise for his resolu,
ton in facing almost alone such band
of dcsperadoes; and would repeat sng-
gestion we have before made, that the
police force be increased during the win
ter months
