WARNING Up.-The editor Of the
Oconomo voc Times, last week, as usual,
was quite profnse with his Latin and slang,
but, guilty-like, he evaded every point IN
our article of two weeks since, and strikes
out into general abuse of this office and
everything it contains He calls us in
different D laces in his article, monkeys"
'vagrants, ''shysters," ''whelps, and
some big Latin expression which we, in our
ignorance, do not know the meaning ct.
We are at loss to know just what he in
ends his readers should infer from these
inrectives. Does he wish to insnua'e
that we were ever in Jail for breaking of
the peace ?-that our wrists were ever
ornamented with irons ?--or does he only
mean to hint that we were discharged from
the army for utter worthlessness, after
fortnight's service-in the guard house and
gutter? He also INDUCES in ssnssless
acts" alluaing to tho position he occupies
here as U S. Gauger for this District. We
would like to ask the Times editor what
business he followed most of the time be
was in California? He certainly has never
amounted to much since our Acquaintance
With him, but one would Judge from his
talk that he must have been mighty man
sometime. and we are forced into the con-
clusion that California must have supported
him with business that required his per-
sonal attention day and nigh.
He thinks us incapable Of doing him the
least injury among people he has "known
since boyhood." For once. our friend is
right. We would go and drown ourselves
to morrow if we thought we were capable
of saying any thing that would injure him
months. There are towns in Iowa in which
we could not injurs him, where he
did not reside one-half that time. He says
''rearing and educationthey we have none"
We will grant him all the education, and
trust he has made good use of it. And rear
ing-such rs being reared against lamp
post-ws will admit that be has received
about as much of that too, as any one with
in our acquaintance.
The last number of the Times acts little
as if its editor was preparing the way to
show the white feather. Such an action
would be characteristic of this cowardly
bravado. We are in hopes, however, that
that paper will keep on, boy fashion, call
ing names. Now that we have our hand
in, we would like no better fun than to
dish up a scrap or two of its editors his
tory, for the benefit of the Historian who
may wish to write up the Rogue's Gallery
at some future time. We are well aware
that detailed account of his capers will
not be news to many of our readers, but we
trust that the little stories will answer as
light reading matter in scarcity Of legiti-
mate paragraphs.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. N early

Cars and other materials for the Northern
Pacific Railroad, pass through this city on
the Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway, GA their
way to the northern boundary of our Con-
tinent. A sight of the magnificent rolling
stock destined for use on this road, is a
convincing evidence that this great Matt on

progress of the work along its line should
have a favorable effect on the sale of the
bonds of the Company, which we understand
have never been very marketable at the
Banking houses of our city.
