Is it not o Mockery3

We ask this question in all serious
ness, if it is not u mockery To &"
through the farce of calling on pol!tl-
cal preachers to open Legislative bod
les with prayer? For our own part
we are not sure that it is not a mock
cry that calls for the wrath OF Him
who rules. We believe in the etlica-
cy of prayer, but when q set of irrer-
erent men assemble for the tranSac-
ton Of business, is it not an insult to
our maker to call upon him through
the mere fornality of claiming to he
over-religious. Who would think O!
o! opening u horse-race with prayer or
of calling on the Author Of our being
when commencing n game of base
ball. There is an appropriate time for
all things, and We think prayer meet
ings, political gatherings and Legisla-
tive asse.nbIages sl!olld be entirety
separate. When we approach the
throne Of grace il should be, in al
humble and ,lowiy spirit, and The heart
should feel rs we'll as The lips speak.

THE anxiety Of WI people Is Intense
aud inde>cribab,e. Every man YOU
meet enquiries for the news aud warts
10 read the latest paper. For e"Iic
time number OF our citizens have at
night goue to the telegraph otlire
while others have waited III the Press
and Banner office for the latest de-
spatches. On Monday night our pc"-
pie were more anxious than ever and
greater numbers than usual wait
ed from early dark until ten O'Clock,
the hour at which the telegraph office
closes, to hear.a single word from the
Cf.pitol, and all retired at this hour
without q sound from the seat Of war.
Friends, come to the Press and Ban
ner office at night and il there is any
news we will be sure to have it either
in the papers or by telegraph.

The Jetties.

During the progress Of a heated po'
litical campaign our people have i"s'
sight of a most Important work gong
on at the mouth Of the Mississippi NV
er. The object of this work Is |" e''
away tie bar and to deepen the cil"ii'
mel of the river and render it ravlga-
bic for ships of the heaviest Tonnage
This is done by narrowing the current
with dams, and thus forcing it to cut
itsOwn way and deepen its own chan,
mel. The experiment has been tIleu
on what is called the South Pass, anu
has proved Il perfect success. The wa
ter on the bar at this place was only
some even or eight feet, but now yes
sells drawing twenty feet of water can
BASS over in safety. That the plan
will, in every particular, end in 4 per-
feet success cannot be longer doubted,
and to Captain Fad, who originated
it, should he given great credit.
The Mississippi valley, perhaps sur
passes any country in all the world IN
the fertility Of its soil aud its auapta-
,tiou in the growth Of all cereals. ltls
capable of supporting n hundred
millions of people, and to day it is the
greatest of known g%Taneries. The
want OF markets is the great difficulty
under which the people of that Sec
ton labor. They always have Il SUI
perabundance Of grain, but the cost OF
transportation is sc great that they
cannot find buyers. They at present
have two outlets-one by way of Chi
cago and the great ~lakes-tlle other by
railway to the city of New York. 1t
is in Europe that the great de-
manl for grain is made, but it costs
six times as much to transport by the
present routes as to make the original
purchase. This, of course, puts it be-
You'd the means of the needy II the
poor, and amounts almost TO Il prohibi-
ton.
When the plan for deepening the
Mississippi below New Orleans has
iea.hed success, it is estimated that
the cost of transportation down the
river and to Europe will be only one
sixth Of what it is at present.
Thus it becomes apparent that the
trade, traffic and commerce of all that
great section of country will be by
way OF the Mississippi river. The
city of St. Louis will become the great
centre or ma Sreat grancry, anu yes
se.$ Of the heaviest Tonnage will run dl-
rcclly from that city to all the ports o..
Europe. 1t is Il work big with inter
rSt To the South and South West, ami
it is impossible to estimate all its be-
Inefficient results. immigration will
flow in, and adj that region of country
from 81. Louis to the mouth Of the
river will abound with wealth and
and smile with beauty and
Intelligence.

Labor Reform ard Democratic Clubs.

During last Summer Labor Reform AsSo-
Citations were organized in different parts OF
the County having mainly for their Object
the regulating and Improvement Of lnhor.
Al that time il was not thought probable the
Democratic clubs would have anything I" do
with the question Of labor. lScrntiy, how

Tho necessity for the maintenance Of the
democratic clubs, as organized in the differ
eut townships Of the county Is recognized by
every one. hut since these clubs lave taken

seem to exist an equal necessity Tor Keeping

Dr.. H. D. Wilson fully approaching
the deep interest his young lady adj
,nirers manifest in his facial appear
ance; offer through the Press and
Banner his deep felt gratitude iortneir
suggestion or request. Being a very
modest man AMI delicately constituted
he thinks it advisable to retain the
said 'presbyterians' and "ti'roai
protectors" in order that he may be
better able to battle with the Manly at
fractions Of the fair sex, and stand
rooted and grounded in the bachelor
faith. May some one OF his young Ia
dv admirers throw around the editor
Of this paper the tender cords OF af1ec-
ton and shupc him into the holy bonds
OF wedlock, being fully persuaded that
he will appreciate !he situation an"
manifest Il deep solicitude in her FL
ture welfare. Should she fail To We"
him from his bachelor course, may his
tarber be instructed not only to shave
off his "Prc>byterians" and "ci.in

tend across his throat. II. d. w.
