BURLINGTON.

Leaving the Eas. and arriving at Chicago
or Indianapolis, how shall we reach the
West The best Line is acknowledged to
be the c., B. & O., joined together with thu,
Il NJ. Railroad by the Iron Bridge at
Burlington, and called the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to
Omaha, connects with the great Pacific
Roads, and forms to-day the leading route
to California. The Middle Branch, enter
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the State Capital, and
will this year be finished to Fort Kearney.
forming the shortest route across the Con-
tinent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging
at Red Oak. falls into line running down
the Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois. Southern Iowa
and Missouri, and, by slight divergence,
can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns "high-
cleaning from afar" - its tree frinped
streams-its rough bluffs and quarries-its
corn-oceans stretching over the prairies fur
Their than eye can reach.
Land buyers WILDE sure to remember it,
for they have friends among the two thou

Geo. S. Harris, the Land Commissioner of

II mar Retic.-We have had placed
before us copy of the last "wall-paper ed
ition of the Daily Citizen, of Vickburg,
MISS, dated Thursday, July I'd, 1853, two
Jays before the surrender of the city into
the hands of General Grant and his victo-
rlous armies. The paper is printed on a
very cheap specimen of we'll paper. and is
single page OF four columns, which has
not come from the press in very legible
condition. At the head Of the columns an
pears the name of Mr.. J. NJ. Swords as pro-
prietor, very significant and appropriate
cognomen for southern fire eating editor.
Many OF the items in the paper are worth
looking over, as showing the condition of
affairs within the besieged city. The first
paragraph contains the account of the death
OF Mrs. Cisco from Yankee bullet whose
husband was then serving in the Confed-
crate army in Virginia. In the next. the
editor makes an acknowledgment for
piece of choice Confederate beef, alias, mule
steak, with which he had been presented.
Not little of the paper is filled up with
acrimony and foul epithets heaped upon the
Yankee soldiery outside the lines. Bread
stuffs had reached exhorbitant figures if
any reliance can be placed on the scale of
prices, published as follows: Flour, FIVE
dollars per pound and corn ten dollars per
bushel. Molasses is quoted at ten dollars
per gallon. As a matter of curiosity to
our readers we copy below couple of ar
ticles from this interesting journal. The
last one was evidently written by one of
the "Lincoln hirslingl," who took posses
sion OF the office after the capture of the
city:

Fire Ki7,dIer.-Mr. S. M. Eaton has
shown US an ingenious contrivance for kin
ding fires, which we think must commend
itself to tho good Judgment of all persons
who have the business of starting fires under
thsi, charge. This kinder consists Of tin
tube, which contains small piece of Ere
brick fastened to an iron handle. In the
tube is placed a small amount of kerosene,
with which the brick, being porons, is sat-
urated. When you have touched match
to the fire brick, you then place it under
the wood, and it Will kindle your fire with
out any trouble burning, if you wish, as
long as twenty minutes. Mr.. Eaton, we
understand, has taken an agency for selling
this useful article, and those in want of any
thing of the kind had better see this one.
