The destruction of a railroad by natural
causes seems to have occurred for the first
time In this country, when the flood and ice
gorges of the Missouri swept away or buried
nearly the whole of what was formerly the
Dakota Southern Railroad (now tue Sioux
City and Dakota Division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul. from Yankton to
Sioux City, 60 miles. A correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing from Yankton
June 1st, says: "Down the valley winds the
wrecked or buried track of a once prosperous
railway, and its cars are crushed and its offices
closed FOR go miles, and not o whistle OF To-
connective has been heard In Yanktown since
March 2Sth." Perhaps, however, the des-
truction of the railroad Is a less misfortune,
even to IT., than the laying waste of the fertile
and well people country from which 1t drew
it's support. The whole bottom land of the
Missouri, about 10 miles wide, from Yank-
town to Sioux City, was swept away by a
flood, carrying folds of ice many feet thick,
that drove everything before 1t, and cut of
large trees, destroyed or removed every build
ing, and left the land buried under mud, sand
and driftwood, and sheets and hills of ice that
even yet have not wholly disappeared. The
farmers generally lost everything, even their
farms for the present, as the water and ice
disappeared too late, even where the debris
has not buried the soil. How large part OF
the land is permanently injured does not yet
appear but doubtless the fear of repetition
Of the disaster (for which, however, there is
no precedent either In history or tradition)
will hinder the future growth Of this valley,
which has been exceptionally fertile and the
most thickly peopled part of Dakota.

The emigration from Germ any to this coun-
try this season is approaching the proportions
of stampede. The steamships leaving Ger
man ports are unable to take the passengers
offering. Emigrants are securing passage far
in advance, and are waiting by thousands
their turn. The pressure is said to be so
great that steamships of larger capacity are
being built to meet the emergency and to
provide adequate transportation in the future,
under the impression that the volume of emf
grafton for several years to come will increase
rather than decline. Industrious and thrifty,
quiet and orderly, these German immigrants
are an acquisition to be welcomed among us.
They bring the habits, manners and customs
of the old country with them but they bring
also the patient toll, and that love for music
which appears ingrained 10 the German ma.
ture. they make good citizens, and in the
course of generation or two become COM
pletely incorporated with the body of the Re-
public. $50

servation of free suffrage equal and impair
tial execution of the laws, and economical adj
ministration of the state government. The
Bourbon party will probably not offer any
better terms to the bondholders, and would
indeed be willing to scale the debt still lower
than the Readtusters advocate. The general
expectation is that the Bourbons will en-
deavor to ignore the debt question altogether
in the canvass and make everything of the
race issues. The one party will advance GU
the color and race line aud the other on the
debt and education line.

SKYLARKs IN New JERsEY.-On the LIST of
MAY, Henry Hales liberated at Ridgewood,
Bergen county. N. ] +, seventy four of the sky
larks imported by /. w. England, and reports
the entire success of the experiment. After
a few days enjoyment of the sweets Of liberty
the birds set about housekeeping. They stole
away by pairs in the fields and began nest
building. The males became more and more
vocal, and sored aloft above their sweetest
strains. The nests, hidden in the grass or
grain, we're not easily discovered, but some
Of them were found. They contained four or
five freckled eggs of greenish-gray cast.
Like other nests placed on the ground, some
of them have been visited by cats or other
predatory animals, but in other cases the eggs
have gone safely through the process of incu-
batian, and the young iarks--real American
born skylarks-haye appeared. There is no
question that the youngsters will take care
of themselves and, barring accidents common
to all Buildings, reach maturity. Hachensaek

Our contemporary, the NeU Era, is as
tonished at the course of the INTELLI-
GENCER in the Millersville affair, and
finds that this journal invariably sides
with the students of that institution and
against the authorities. To which it
occurs to us to say that these two state
ments do not very well agree, since the
NeU Era is hardly warranted in being
astonished in observing another instance
of the invariable inclination of the In
TELLIGENCER. And we incline fur
ther to say that we do not feel the slight
est surprise at its views in this affair,
they being quite consistent with its re-
cord nor do we feel any disturbance
that our opinions differ. We would feel
really concerned should they happen to
accord and we know of nothing that
would SO promptly cause us to give
them careful reconsideration in appre-
hension of their possible unsoundness.

Baltimore Gazette.
Mr.. VIM. II. Gelbacll, formerly of Balti-
more but now residing on tho Emmitts-
burg road, near Gettysburg, Pa, was in
the city yesterday and called at the Gazette
Office. Mr.. Gelbach has farm Just out
side of Gettysburg, between Hancock s and
Pettegrew's positions in the great fight.
On Saturday Mr.. Gelbach, while excavat-
ing on his farm, discovered q trench
containing the remains of number Of
Confederate soldiers. It was about this
vicinity that Thomas's brigade, of Georgia,
was located. No Union soldiers reached
that part of the ground, which confirms
Mr.. Gelbach in the belief that they were
members of the above-named Confederate
command. BY a piece of decorated coat
sleeve found on one of the arm bones it
was ascertained that the wearcr had
been q lieutenant. The bodies had been
SO heaped in the trench that no one skele-
ton could be exhumed entire, although
all of the principal bones were preserved.
The remains of twenty soldiers werc
taken out, though more remain In the
trench. Those taken from the trench
have been carefully boxed up and tempor-
arily inferred. Mr.. Gelbach has seen Mr..
McHenry Howard, Of this city, il refer
ence to bringing the matter before the
Society of the Army and Navy of the Con-
federate states in Maryland to arrange for
proper interment of the remains, and
tho Georgia society will also probably be
communicated with in regard to the dis
cOvery.

THE EX-PRESIDENT,
Tho Mexican Concessions to Gen. Gran

Tho Mexican Concessions to Con. Grant.
The New Orleans Picayune reporter
asked Gen. Grant for copy of his conces
siORs, but the bill was in one of the trunks
on tho vessel and was not procurable i'm.
mediately. However, the following syn
0psis, revised by the generals secretary
MIR. Dawson, will give fair idea of tht
concession to Gen. Grant
l. The limo is to start from tho CITY OF
Mexico, passing by the cities of Pueblo
and Oaxaca, and by Tehuantepec and te
take there tho best route for the frontier
of Mexico with Guatemala, one branch to
come from Vera Cruz and Anton Lizardo,
and another to run to Huatalco. The
company has right to build q line to
Tuxita, Chiapas, San Cristobal and Com.
tan, in the state of Chiapas.
2. The surveys of tho line arc to begin
within six months from the publication OF
the contract, and the work is to com.
mence within six months from date Dur
ing tho second year the company is to
build at least so kilometres of the road, 100
kilometres during the third year, and 16O
kilometres during each of the seven sue
ceeding years. The entire road is to be
finished in ten years from thSilate of the
contract.
8. The road is to be built without sub
sidy, but the company will have the right
of way and free importation of all articles
needed for building during construction of
the road, and for Is years afterward-the
road and its capital accessories to he free
from all classes of duties for twenty five
years after completion.
4. The tariffs will be Is, 10 and z cents
per ton of 2, 900 English pounds, and per
each mile for merchandise of first, second
and third class respectively, and II, and
cents per mile for each passenger by
first, seconds and third class.
5. Tho road is to be the property of tho
company, which will manage it in its own
way, beginning the work at any point, and
making tho gauge to suit its purpose. The
government is not to have any other inter-
ference than that required by the general
railroad laws of Mexico.
6. The tariffs can be raised to tho point
at which they will yield 10 per cent. Of the
capital represented by tho road, after de-
Quoting all expenses.
Z. The company has full right to mort
gage the road and issue stock and bonds,
but after tho lapse of 90 years from tho
date of contract the Mexican government
will have the right to purchase the road,
paying in cash its actual value.
