School work desire to have the meeting
held so that the county may come to-

Il farmer from Pulaski County, Illi-
nois, who has been q subscriber to the
ADVANCE for several years, writes:
When get there Ito the Colony you
may count me for the ADVANCE, for it
is what every paper ought to he, free,
and not the organ of any ring. If a
paper can be bought and sold, it is not
worthy the support of honest people.
If the farmers out there are what take
them to be, the ring paper will be short
lived, unless they have plenty of money
to throw away, for it cannot be made
to pay if the farmers stick to you.

Great Britain alone declined from s48,-
772,3A in 1872 TO t155, 207 ,0l4 in 1876 and
the current year will undoubtedly estnb-
lish a still further decline on the figures of
the past year.
We consider this exhibit very healthy
one; and though ii may not be entirely sat
isfaotory to the trading Briton, our own
producers and consumers have no reason
to complain. While our exports represent,
for the most part, the produce of the soil,
and our manufactured goods are made
from raw materials grown at home, we
can assume that fully one half of what is
given to the world as exports of British
produce and manufacture is really but
re-export of the products of other lands,
whose people claim the proceeds
minus the enormous charges made
for the work Of manufacturing and
exchange. We appreheud no decline in
American exports during the coming year.
The accounts from all parts OF the country,
more especially from the South, give
token of abundant crops, while present
appearances would seem to indicate IA con-
tiLued European demand for our cereals.

During the Egyptian invasion of Abys-
sinla few months ago, We attempted to show
that the boesiful dispatches OF the Egyptians
were mere devices to cover up the disasters un
der which their backward movements showed
them to be suffering. 1t has taken long time
to get the news from Abyssinia, but advices re-
Gently received from there show that the Egyp-
tlans were driven from Abysslnis with fearful
loss. Fifteen thousand men, or one-half Of the
force they sent to Abysslnia, were missing on
the return Of the expedition to Egypt. About
half Of this number had been slaughtered, and
the rest had deserted. Finally, the Abyssinians,
after preventing the retreat Of the Egyptians.
demanded an enormous war indemnity, besides
a large sum Of money ransom for the son Of
the Khedlye, whom they had captured. The
Egyptian campaign In Abyssina, though CON
Quoted under American officers, was a wretched
failure, from beglnningtto end.

The Canadian Government has issued an
advertisement saying that 1t expects to be able,
on or before January, 1877, To invite tenders for
building and working the sections Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway between Lake Superior and
the Pacific ocean. THIS advertisement Is pub
lshed In Canada and England, Its object being
to induce contractors who may be DESTROYS OF
building, TO make such examinations into
the character OF the country along the Hue OF
the projected road may enable them TO
intellifently frame their proposals. The act
Of 1874 under which bids are invited, pro-
vides that contractors for the construction
and working Of the road shall receive lands,
or the proceeds Of lands, at the rate OF 5000
acres. and cash at the rate OF $4,000 for
each mile OF railway constructed, together
with four per cent. bonds, to run twenty
Ave years from the completion Of the work, on
any further sum which may be st pulated IN the
contract. This announcement. however, does
not indicate any purpose OF the Canadian GOV
eminent 20 push the work to immediate com
pletion, as the terms Of the advertisement would
naturally lead one to infer. for our neighbors In
the Dominion have urgent objections to being
taxed enormously to build an unproduct!ye rail
road Tor the benefit OF contractors and political
jobbers. Their present Government has deter
mined upon the policy OF building the proposed
road only SO fast IA the resources OF the country
will permit but, in the construction u such sec
tions as are undertaken, TO keep In view the
feasibility OF max ng them ultimately availabl
for a complete road, II the great project should
ever he carried through. The Canadians, as well
as our own people, have had experience Of the
close connection between Pacific railroad
schemes and legislative corruption, and thew
watch the proceedings Of the Government upon
this subject with a careful eve. 1t Is now tine
purpose OF the Dominion authorities to open 10
Immigration the prairie region. extending from
the Lake OF the Woods TO the Rocky Mountains,
as practicable, and IL Is not probable that
there Is any real intention OF extending the pro-
posed road any great distance beyond Red
river for long time To come There are now
contracts let for grading and bridging the road
for sections aggtegatinc 2ss miles OF the whole
distance OF +4 miles between Red river and
Lake Superior, Of which the contracts for Il
miles are for sections extending from Red river
eastward. With the road completed to Red
river, means OF easy communication will be es-
tablished with quite as much Of the prairie coun-
try as viii he likely to be occupied by settlers
