»ur Rail-Roart Wliy Farmers Should Aid In Making it. The following table take»from the "Eeport of the Commissioner of Agriculture for tho year 1865" exhibits the productn of a farm of about 110 acres situated on tho Camden and Arftboy Rail-road in New Jersey

300 bushels of wheat on 10 acres, $750 00 800 bushels of corn on 10 acres, 81,200 00 84 tons of hay on 33 acres, §2,520 00 1,C15 bushels of •white potatoes on 10 acres, §2,500 00 312 bushels sweet potatoes, 2 acres, 8700 00 100 bushels turnips, 840,00 200 bushels carrots, 1 acre, 8160 00 2,000 cabbages, 8120 00 sundry small crops, 8362 00 total, 88.352 56/

If the farmer of Montgomery county will examine the abovo figures ho will readily perceivo what an immense advantago the Jerseyman has over him. And tho example given is not eo much an exceptional case as lie might suppose. The same report furnishes a tabic of products for a farm of only 80 acres, amounting to nearly 88,000 and these examples are selected from hundreds of others showing equally "favorable results. Now what is the cause of this vast array of dollars which the Jerseyman| realizes from his 100 acres, while tho farmer of Montgomery works hard on his section or half section, and finds at the end of tho year that he has barely accumulated enough to pay his taxes and meet the expenses necessarily incurred for farm and household It is not because the soil of New Jersey is richer than that of Indiana, for the reverse is the caso. And although the yield per acre may, in some cases, appear greater than that of this country, it is only the result of plentiful manuring and close culture. Then, why do not the farms of Montgomery or Hendricks present such an exarnplo of profitable farming? Tho answer is simple. Our farmers have no means of disposing of their surplus products, they have no convenient markets. The farmer of this county could as eailv raise 400 bushels of onions or 150 bushels of potatoes per aero as the farmer of Now Jersey. But a few hundred bushels of either would overstock all the available markets. He could raise cabbages, peas and carrots, but ho could not sell them because there is no local demand for these articles, and ho has no access by rail to markets more remote. Hence he is compelled to neglect them, and confine himself to the raising of corn, wheat, oats'and grass, and these, in many cages only in sufficient quantities to supply his own wants—to make broad for t.hn use of his family, and to* winter the horses nceessary to tho production of the crop of the next year. And oven if he is blessed with a bountiful crop of theso staples, he experiences tho same difficulty in disposing of it. If a surplus of wheat is produced in eastern Montgomery it must bo hauled in wagons to Thorntown, or if in western Montgomery, to Lafayotto and if in northern Hcndricks, to Indianapolis, a distance of twenty or thirty miles. And the 'time consumed, and the expenso incurred in such an operation, must necessarily greatly reduce the profits of tho crop. When the crop of wheat and corn fails, our farmer is at the end of lv's resources. If ho could cultivate a greater variety of crops he would be secure. Then if one or two should fail ho could look to the rest for his profits. But, as we have said, it would bo useless for him to attempt to raise much clso than •wheat, corn and hay, because ho cannot sell it. Consequently, farming in this part of tho country amounts to mere working and living—thcro is no

-making connectcd with it.

AVhat is the remedy then How can tho farmer of this country increase tho product of his farm, and increase it in dollars It is only by assisting to build up markets for his surplus produce. And to do this wo must have railroads. It need not bo expected that the farms along the lino of the Indianapolis, Crawlordsville and Dunvillo

railroad will,

tho

In a few years

boas profitable as the Jersey farms mentioned above. They are in direct communication with two great cities. New York and Philadelphia, and almost direct communication with Baltimore and other large cities. We may never have access to such markets as these, but if tho people along the line of the contemplated railroad will only make tho effort, they, can moro than double tho number and capacity of their markets, and thus more than double

profits of farming. With

railroads come manufactories towns •expand'to'cities, and there is thus created along the road what might be called a local domand for farm products. The farmer can then raiso potatoes, onions, cabbago, peas, and such garden products as will not bear transportation, witL "the assurance that ho can find a ready sale for them, and at prices which will moro than repay him The warm showers »Dd Bunshmo for bis labor. His cro£_is no longer have improved the wheat crop,

limited to wheat and corn. lie bogies tD feel independent. Ho makes greater exertions, tests further the ca-pacity-of his soil. .. If it is poor he manures it, for he can now afford it. If it is rich it only yields him the greater profit. In cither caso, a very few years will suflice to moro than repay him for every dollar invested in the railroad.

Besides he will now have direct access to larger cities for such products as will bear transportation. Instead of hauling his wheat 20 or 30 miles, he can haul it 5 or 10 and ship it to Indianapolis or some other market, getting almost the samo price which is paid there—and save the ono or two days at present spent in haul ing it by wagon.

Let our farmers study those matters, and take them into their own hands. -Every one who examines the above figures and then compares them with his 0V\*n meagre results, must feel thai there is soni9thing wrong somewhere and if he considers tho matter, lie will bo convnced that there is no remedy except in railroads.

GEN. GRANT, has signified to hi friends that, although he does not desire to bo a condidalo fur the Presidency, if the Union Republican party nominate him, he shall not feel at liberty to disregard its wishes. lie desires no affiliation with the exanimate Copperhead .democracj'. Thia virtually settles the next presidential dec tion, and insures tho safet}* of the government against tho evil machinations of the rebel democracy south and their allies in the north.

RIcxIco.

Monarchial rule in Mexico is at an end, Max. has surrendered himself and army to Juarez, and will be fortunato if he gets o^t of the couutrj' alivo. On this subject tho Indiana Journal says:

Wo publish the response of the Mexican Government to tho note of Mr. Campbell, our Minister to Mexico, resident in New Orleans, communica. ting the request of tho President of the United States that the Arch Duke Maximilian, if captured, should be accorded tho treatment due a prisoner of war, as well as his regrets for the reported execution of certain captured Frenchmen in tho service of Maximilian.

President Juarez, through his Secretary of Staio, Senor Tajeda, argues his sido of tho case well, and while qualifying tho reported severity prac ticed toward prisoners from tho imperial forces, and justifying such executions as had taken place, gives the reasons which, in his judgement, wo'ild justify severe measures towards Maximilian and his leading supporters, in ease the fortune of war should place them in the hands of the Liberals.

We see nothing in the noto of Mr. Tajeda from which much expectation of clemency to Maximilian can be en tertained. Tho impulso of Juarez unquestionably is to put him to death, and it is probable that his Generals aro more'inclined to this summary and eminently Mexican troatment than is the President himself. Still, tho timely remonstrance of our Gov ernmenfc may restrain them from thi extreme mcasuro, which would go far to deaden tho sympathy heretofore manifested for tho Liberal party, and could bo of no lasting benefit to the Mexican Republic.

Ice Cream and Soila.

Mr. James T. Mack, ono door north of the Graham establishment, has fitted up a splendid ice cream saloon and soda fount, for tho accommodation of tho public during the hot weather.— Mr. M. understands his business to perfection, and thoso wishing to indulge in such luxuries will find his room the most convenient and pleasant iu the city at which to gratify their desires.

General Logan to Speak, in the lo', South. Wo have just recieved a private letter from a gentleman in Washington, which states that John A. Logan, one of the mos^ illustrious officers of the late war for the Union, a'nd now a member of congress, representing the State of Illinois- at largo, will in company of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, open t.ho

ownvassof

the republican

side in Mississipi early next month. They aro both able speakers, and we bespeak for them a cordial reception from the Union men of this State.

Other speakers will follow, and as there arc many able but misguided men in this section, who will take the sido of the opposition, we doubt not tho campaign in Mississippi will bo as intensely interesting as tho famous Senatorial canvass in '58 in Illinois.— Viclcsburg Republican.

About 8,000 Chinaman aro employed by the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California, at $30 per month without board, Johnny, bosides proving a good washerwoman, cook and chambermaid, has proven a very effective man with the shovol and the drill.

Ho does not get drank nor show the common iuclinatioa-to shirk his duties.

Tlie Union Pacific Railroad from Oni ah»f Nebraska—-Wlaat lias Been Boue, and When it will be Finished.

No greater enterprise' wna ever begun about which so little: has been saJd and so much lias been 'done. Tho public ha-ve-a vague idea that milroad is being built from somewhere in' tho Ivfflt to somewhere iu a further West than a rail-truck has ever been laid but where it begins, or what route it follows, or where it is to end, wu venture to assert, not one in a hundred can tell.

For dozen years we havo heard that a groat Pacific Railroad wns to be built, and a dozen names ami a dozen companies, and a doz.cn routes —from tho southern boundary of Texas to the northern boundary of Lake Superior—havo been urged upon Congress as tho greatest aud best queans for uniting the Atlantic and Pi»ci(ie shores.

Bubble after bubble was blown, and each burst in turn when touched by the shaip point of practical experience.

The absolute necessity for I'aeifir Railroad to retain an«.l bind more closely together the eastern and western extremes of the continent in one great U.MTKH nnd PACIFIC country, the immense cost of government transportation to its frontier and Rocky Mountain posts, and the even greiter cost of Indian wars, in a region that nothing but a railroad could civilize, and nothing but civilization could pacify,—tho great importance of opening a road to the rich gold and silver mines of the llueky and Sierra Kevada Mountains, so that tho way to the resumption of specie pay­

ments might be made shorter and Jeasirr,—all those prudential reasons finally pressed with such I weight upon Congress, that it determined that the voad tLould be made. There wcrz, indeed, many others two thousand miles of additional territory Would bo opened for settlement vast bodies of land now valueless would bo made productive the tido of business and travel that now winds a tedious aud dangerous way along the borders of two oceans, would bo increased tenfold and how would tho fathers in the East strike hands with their sons aud daughters at tho Golden Gate, if they could only be borne on the wings of the locomotive

Tho imperative need of the work was admitted, but it was too vast for individual enterprise to attempt. No combination of private capitalists was willing to risk,a hundred million dollars in tho construction of 2,000 miles of railroad through a wilderness. As tho undertaking was strictly national, so no power le.^s than that ol the nation was sufficient to accomplish it and large as tho cost necessarily would be, the expenditure would save a much greater cost to the country. It has been proved, already, that the entire interest on the fifty millions in bonds advanced by tho Government will be saved more than twice over in the consequent diminution ol Government expenses in tho regions through which the road passes. But the Government did not wish to enter upon any new system of internal improvements on its own account and its only alternative was to grant its aid in the most careful manner to such rcpsonsiblo individuals of suitable character and energy as might bo willing to risk a portion of their private means in the construction of tho road.—N. Y. Independent.v

The Crime of the Rebel Leaders. A Nashville paper publishes the following extract from a letter written by a merchant of that city to his wife, from Dalton, Ga.: ^"I rode yesterday across the country, from Marietta to Dallas, forty miles and thero I "witnessed a sight that, while it aroused the tenderest sympathies of my soul, awoke anew feeling that 1 thought struggled with our lost causo. Nearly five hundred famishing women, old and }*oung, many with babies at their breasts, had come from the neighboring country seeking bread and clothing. M-'ir.y of them had walked more than fifteen miles bare footed, in rags, for tho little corn the} heard had been sent them. O, my God! if my heart's best blood could bo turned into bread for these my peo pie, and place them again in prosperity and happiness, with some hope in tho ftiluiv, liow cheerfully would 1 give it. I felt as if 1 had lived too long to Stn\ss each sights as these."

To "our lost cause," of which the writer speaks those famishing women owo tho dire miseries under which they suffer.^

The*}' are the victims of

the heartless "ambition ol' tho politicians of the South who drove the peo pie into rebellion, and forced the natu nil protectors of man}- of thoso suf t'ering women to the field of slaughter.

The women and children starve, but the authors do not. They lot helpless women famish while they furnish luxurious living for JEFF. DAVIS. The rebel leaders have brought their coun try to the verge of ruin, dissipated its wealth and impoverished tho masses ol its people, yet they .manifest no re rnorsc, and arc insensible to shame. They let the North feed their poor, or in default of Northern charity, let them starve, while, they devote themselves to politics and give their energies to opposing the beneficial legislation of Congress for the restoration of the country they havo well nigh de stroyed, and the uplifting of the peo plo whom they havo scourged by war and famine.—Indiana Journal, -v

A boy preacher has appeared in Wales, who, according to his admirers, is to extinguish Mr. Spurgeon. The promising youth is Master Enoch Probert, who has just completed his eleventh year. On Easter Sunday he preached to crowded congregations in tho Baptist Chapel at GIadestry,Tlandor. A local print says of him: "Ho has a sweet and powerful voice, which he manages .well. His dolivery is remarkably distinct, and his hearers were astonished at such marvelous truths from a boy of such Lenderyears." diana Journali

Fearful State of Affairs in Texas. A United States officcr stationed in .Texas, just returned from an expedition through tho counties bordering on Arkansas, included in the district of which ho was appointed, writes a very interesting letter to the Batavia

Advocate, telling something, of what he saw and heard. Wo quote a portion of his lettor, as follows: "There arc roaming bands still fighting, robbing and killing for tho Con-federacy-—a portion of Quan troll's band. A gentiemon in Red liivet county told mo that he had visited his place very often during the war Theso ruffians would sit hours in his parlor and tell of robberies and raur ders tlfcy had committed, and laugh at the jokes, one of which I will tell as they told it to him. They were riding along in a squad, and carrying tl Stars and Stripes. A German met them and said: 'Thank God, you have come. Do catch Quantrell, for ho is murdering ovory one that has any mono}".' Then Quan trull spoke and informed him that ho was Quantrell 'Ah, I am dead!' Here they all joined in a laugh. 'I3ut,J said the gentleman •you didn't kill him?' 'Oh. yes, we killed him 'twas fun to see him pray. "Quantrell said ho hated to kill man that was stubborn and showed fight, or said nothing, or told them to kill him and be dono with it. 'Eat I do like to get after a Dutchman, and hear them beg and pray for God to spare thorn. I always make them get on their knees and look me in tho facc and while thoy pray to blow their face to pieces.' "This raised a great laugh, and called out another story. "Lee, tho first officer under Quan troll, told an incident that happened that morning in the neighborhood, and which was truo. They rode up to an old man and asked him for his money. IIo was in his yard—an old man seventy years old. _-

They "were told ho had no money in the house or anj'whero else and, said Lee, 'T killed him. ••We went to the next house, an itchman was reading a book. I asked him if had any money ho answered not 1 then took him over to the next house and showed him the dead many lying on his face in the yard. Oh! Mr. Quantrell, thero is $20 in my trunk take it and let mo live."' Another laugh. The gentleman asked if he killed him. "Oh, no, Budd killed him Budd had never killed a man—a new recruit—and we mado him kill him to got his hand in."

Ono man said that after ho had killed his first man he couldn't sleep for a week "but I havo killed eighty-two. and now I'd just as soon do it as kill a log," said ho. 1 will not rolafco any more of those horrible stories they aro too terrible to think of. Yet these Union people nave been obliged t_ live through the reign of terror for years.- The rebel portion of the community killed, bill did not rob, as did Quantrell. In Cook county, 42 Union men were hung to one limb for loving tho Governmeni. Tho names of them and tho parties who murdered them arc known-.:

There is a day of reckoning coming, and it it not far distant. A portion oJ this Quantrell band aro now on the border, JRed JRivor country we are do ing our best to catch them. If we succeed, they will probably come to rief. Such is the condition of society yet theso people, as a mass, rail igairist the 'military usurpation bill,' because desperadoes do not get time to break jail or bo bonded out until the next term of the court. Their trials are short and decisive. They go 'up' or down in a hurry—sometimes both.

Truth is like God's baptism upon the hills. First, it is "like dew drops, silentl}* descending through a cloud of mist and vapor to kiss the, petals of some drooping flower. Then it is a little gathering in some tiny basin in fraternal embrace of atoiri3. Then, it is a rill, that goes cutting its chan nel way through tho green moss and '.own the sloping hill side, hastening r.o the meeting of waters below. Then it is a stream, hurraying over preci pices and down cascade rocks, turning '.he groat wheel of manufacture, grind Ing the grain and working the spinlies aad shuttles of man. Then it is the river, slowly rolling onward through its mighty channel, upon which great lazy barges rock, and the paddles of the steamboat best. And then—then it is the broad sweep o! tho Atlantic, upon which is borne from land to land, the products of the industry of tho entire world. And that's tho "way truth comes. And that's tho way truth acts,

GENERAL SHERIDAN deals with political difficulties in as summary way as ho did with EARLY'S Confederates in the Shenandoah Valley. Our dispatches inform us that ho has removed Governor WELLS, of Louisiana, and inatalled

THOMAS J. DLJRANT, AN

Cllli

nent citizen of New Orleans, as Governor, in his stead. Unfortunately for Governor WELLS ho had the confidence of neither party of tho State, and some at least of the charge.3 made igainst him by General SHERIDAN are notoriously true, but for a year past he has sympathized with tho progressive Union party. Mr. DGRANT is a Radical of the Radicals, an old citizen)f Louisiana,loyal to the corc, an eminent lawyer, and was one of tho very few Union men who were suffered to livo in New Orleans while it was under Confederate rule. During tho brief reign of mob terror in New Orleans ast year, he left the city and has sinco spent the most of his time North. If General SHERIDAN'S summary deposition of Governor WELLS is not countermanded at Washington, the change will probably prove beneficial but tho uncertain tenure by which civil officers must hold their positions in the South until governments aro established in,conformity with the acts of Congress, should impel tho citizens of the exeludod States to act promptly in reorganizing civil governments in their respective States.-—/*-

Its contortions and death agonies mustb most painful to that now very respec table body of lato Southern slavehold ors who are advocating negro suffrage in the South. In tho Democratic Con stitutional Contention a clause was inserted in the bill of rights declarin that slavery having been abolished Maryland by tho policy and power of the federal Government, compensation in consideration thereof is due from tho Urnted States.

Hfinety Cents on tEie Dollar.

This road was completed from Omaha 305 triiles west on the 1st of January, 1807, and is fully equipned, and trains are regularly running over it. The Company has now on hand sufficient iron, ties, etc., to finish the remaining portion to tho east'-rn base of the Rocky Mountains, 212 miles, which is under contract to be done •September 1st of this year, and it is cxpccted that the entire road will be in running order from Omaha to its western connection with tho Central Pacific, now being rapidly built eastward from Sacramento, Cal., during 1870.

wfSeans of the Com/taut/. Estimating tho distance to be built by the Union Pacific to bo I,5f5, miles the U. States Government issues it3 Six per cent. Thirty-year Bonds to tho Company as the road is finished at the average rate of about $28,250 per inib, amounting $-14,208,000.

The Company is also permitted to issue its own First Mortgage'Ronds to an equal amount, and at the same time, which by special Act of Congress aro made a Fir?t Mortgage on the entire line, the bonds of tho United States being SUBORDINATE to them.

The Government makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, amounting to 20,032,000, estimated to worth $30,000,000, making the total resources, exclusive of tho capital, $118,410,000 but the full value of the lands cannot now be realized.

The authorized Capital Stock of the Company is $100,000,000 of which $5,01)0,000 have already been aiJ in, aud of which it is not supposed that more than iwsnty-five millions at iciist will be required.

The cost of the road is estimated by competent engineers to be about one hundred million dollars, exclusive of equipment.

The railroad connection fcetweeen Oinaha and I the East is now complete, and tho earnings ol the I Pictures and Picture Frame Union Pacific on the sections already finished for °f Molding, Cord and Tassclt. the first two weeks in May were 13,000. These sectional earnings as the road progresses will much more than pay tho interest on the Coinpnny's bonds, and tho through business over the line of railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific must be immense.

IValue and SecurUy of the Mon&t\ The Company respectfully submit, that the abovo statement of facts fully demonstrates the security of their Bond?, and ns additional proof thoy they would suggest that tho Bonds now offered aro less than ten million dollars on 517 miles of road, on which over twenty million dollars have already been expended —on 330 mil«3 of this road the ears are now running, and the remaining 1S7 miles aro nearly completed.

At the present rate of premium on gold these bonds pay an annual interest on the present cost ol

Dr. John TinII: I send you £30 for Cedron Bit--ters please send what it will come to after paying freight to Columbus, Midi. I have been troubled for several years with indigestion havo had to take pills every night for tea or fifteen years and in February, 1864, I was attackedwith general paralysis. I was confined to my room for tho balance of tho y^ar and, in fact, continued in a very weak and nervous condition until somo two months sinco, when I was put under an operation, and your .Cedron Bitters fortreatment. I commenced improving right away, and am protty well restored.

Yours, truly,
