The IndlnnRpolls,CraWfordsvIlle and DagnrlUe Railroad. Tho question is toeing cohtinually asked, "will tho road bo made?" Tho .1 writer of this bolieves it will, but he dopa .pot.bol^ove it will be done by men wiio have no inducement except the prospect for large dividends. With tho amount already subscribed as a donation, the stock would probably pay itrbrrf ten to fifteen per cent. This will not induccEastern capitalists to invest" •i. their money in it, because there aro a hundred oMier ways in which they can invest it more profitably, without the least risk. They can even loan it, on good mortgage security, for twelve per cent, This will always bo regarded by capitalists as better than investments ip.any unfinished railroad whose dividends are yet problematical. It is therefore, in my judgment, useless to depend on people who live away from the vicinity of the road, to build it.—

are but acting over again tho folly of the old man in ^Esop's fablo of the 1 "farmer and tho lark.". lie depended ©n his neighbors and cousins to corae and cut his grain for him, but the old lark bad sagacity enough to quiet tho fears of her young ones by telling them thoy would nover bo disturbed by

Tf»|ier?i, untii the farmer and his boys should determine to cut tho grain

selves.

that have nests on the ground whore 1 this road is to run, will rest in ease until tho people in the vicinity of the road determine to build it themselves.

But how can they do it? There are divers ways, but the plan that seems most jplomising is this: let books bo at once opened and agents appointod to *talpawrrptionH or stock, payable in instalments of ten per cent,, as the work progresses. From conversations with individuals along tho lino of th road and at [ndjanapolis, the writer is convinced that stock enough can be secured to grade thd road. With the rbad graded, there{would certainly be no difficulty in mortgaging the road bod and pledging the promised donations, for money enough to iron and equip tho road. There is wealth nough along tho lino of tho road to build it without tho least embarrassment toany. One of the wealthy capitalists of our city, I am informed, is ready to take fivo thousand dollars of stock. Others will follow his oxample whenever the movement is inaugura ted.

•-o-i Another Convert. Jeff. Thompson, a partisan leader in the late rebel armj'-, has given in hie "adhesion to the Congressional plan of reconstruction. His lotter is in an

Bwer to one from Georgo D. Prentice, of tho Louisville Journal, who requested his political views of the situation. Ho says ho*did not take up arms bocause he hated the United States or the North, but to defend State rights and perpetuate slavery. Tho doctrine of Stato Rights, ho says, was overthrown by tho Confederacy itself, in tho first year of its existence, and slavery having been formally abolished, all he fought for is irretrievably lost, and ho has no interest in keeping up tho contest any longer. Ho therefore advises a quiet submission to the Congress, *vho, be says, aro treating them fairly and with as much leniency as they have any right to expect. With such letters as those of Gon. Longstreet and Jeff. Thompson, wo should .soon have a united country again, were it not for tho evil counsels of the

Copperhead faction of the North, who persistently oppose every schemo of pacification.

His Attorney General now publishes an elaborate opinion, in which he denies that tho law gives those officers any such power. Such despicable shifts to defeat the will of tho people would be simply ridiculous, if they were not criminal.

Congress will meet on the 3d day of nest month, and then alf the well laid schemes of Mr. Johnson and his smart Attorney General will be thwarted, and the will of the people carried out.

being wholly unable to drive the Republican party from its well chosen position, have adopted a wholesale system of denunciation.

They are very much like a certain boy who got badly worsted in a fight, and jumping up, ran off, and made mouths at his antagonist as the only source of comfort left to him. It doubtless af fords these copperheads a great deal of comfort to call hard names, but fortu nately, like the boy,s mouth-making, it don't hurt any one: It has become so common, it no longer even irritates the most sensitive.

SELF-RELIANCB.

Crawfordsvillo, June 27, 1367.

Louisville Journal says thai

most of the union soldiers aro now in tho democratic party, and this it says too, in tho face of the fact that thai party has got so mean that oven the more intelligent portion of the rebels are leaving it and joining the Iiepubli can party. Did not tho Journal a few days ago, publish the letter of Gen. Jeff. Thompsou, in which ho said the democratic party is entirely played out, and tho letter of Gen. Longstreet in whicjvhe said the principles of the Republican party have become the unalterable laws of tho country? The Journal ought not to publish a lie and then furnish tho world with tho evidence to establish its falsehoods,

DAN VOORUEES has gono to Ken Jtucky to urge the people to exclude anion soldiers from offico, and fill them with rebels. That's the game of the copperhead party over there.

THE

Copperheads fall o„ut with the

Ohio Republican State Convention be cause it resolved that suffrage ought not to bo confined to an aristocratic class. They think it should.

spoke to a small

audience of disfranchised rebels, was a most appropriate place for his speech.

It is the same houso that was dedicated, about tho commencement of the war, by selling off, to the highest bid dor, the largest lot of negroes evor sold atone time in East Tennessee. There .phiidren were separated from their parents, bathed in tears of bitterness and sorrow There wives and husbands were separated in anguish and tears! No wonder the colored men refused to sit it that slave pen and the rebel candidate for Governor speak

That sort of dedication can never again bo witnessed in Tennesseethanks to tho folly of tho rebels and tho sublime, courage of the Union army and the Union people.

Tho Presidential party aro getting along quietly in Boston. Thoy aro behaving themselvos respectably. Seward became slightly hilarious, and sent a facotious telegram to Admiral Farragut that will add nothing to bis reputation as a "ready letter writer," The dedicatory exercises were performed, after which the President made a few remarks, in which he expressed his profound gratitude for being a mason, &C.

A Russian Incident

A young Russian recently had the misfortune, while promenading tho streets of St. Petersburg, to step upon a ladyV dress which was trailing before him upon the Walk. The worn on turnod, and, in language more striking than elegant, applied the terms "elum sy," "loutish," to tho young man. Tho latter preserved his politeness, and sought as best he could to appease her wrath.but iu vain. The beautiful amazon waxed more and more angry, and applied such epithets that he felt at last obliged to reply in her own language, and remarked that if animals persist in dragging their tails upon the ground thoy must expect to havo them trodden upon. This inflamed the woman to such an extent that she demanded the way to the justice court, and compelled tho unwilling criminal to occompany her. Once there, she demanded one hy#dred roublesfor tho injury done to her dress. It was ob served, however, that tho dross was not very new, and that fifty roubles would coyer tho original cost, and this amount the young man was sen tenced to pay. The woman was. walking in triumph, when doubtless a remembrance of Portia and Shylock flitted across tho young man's mind, and ho said "Waita moment, young lady you have my fifty roubles in payment for your dress, but the article itself j'ou havo not delivered. Will you have tho goodness to hand over one part or the other of my pro perty Blushes of shame now overspread the countenance of the female Shylock, and sho turnod again to the justice for advice. There was no help tor her there the young man claim was good, and the money or the dress belonged to him. With a courage worthy of abetter causo the woman sent for a hackney coach, went into an adjoining room, removed her dress and again attempted to leave amid tho Bhouts of the spectators. But her opponent was remorseless. Ho now indicted her on the charge of foul and abusive languago on tho stret tho facts wero proved by witnessos, and the unhappy and mortified creature was sentenced to pay a fino of ono hundred roubles. Sho gave back the fifty roubles lately received in trumph, and all tho money and valuables which she had with her, withholding only enough to pay her^ coach faro home.

General Rawlins' Galena Speech. A special Chicago dispatch published in the'Journal of Saturday last, stated that Major General Rawlins, Grant's chief of staff, lectured on Friday night at Galena, the home of General Grant, giving a history of the rebellion, and sketching at length the acts of the Government since tho surrender, and declaring that tho President had pursued an eminently pacific course. It was also remarked that General Rawlins was supposed ton-fleet the views of Grant. There was eitlmr a blunder in the transmision of tho dispctch, or an attempt to create the impression that GeriSfcal Gran:, through his staff, indorsed the courc-e of the Provident in his conflict with Congress.

The speech of General Rawlins is published, and so.

Tho Tennessee papers tell a funny story of tho exploits of a negro who, a short time since, found a bag of gold in a hollow log. Ho converted his gold into five-twenties, and had over $4,000. Ho went to New Orleans, worked in a barbershop, studied evenings, acquired a good knowlodgo of English and French, and in March iast wont to Europe as an attendant of an ex-Confederate General, and now turns up as the proprietor of a firstelass American restaurant in tho Paris Exposition.

Eastern papers announce that

it is becoming quite fashionable of late for ladios to make their own dresses. This innovation on the genteel custom which has so long prevailed, appears to be one of those really sensible -and incomprehensible turns which fashion sometimes takes,—and as it is new and novel, it will be all tho rago for a while. At a party the other evening, a young lady was complimented by a gentleman, on the simplicity and good taste of her dross.

am so glad you

like it," replied tho lady, "I made it nil myself, and it cost just seven dollars." When ladies prido themselves on tho cheapness of their attire, instead of its expensiveness, we will hear of fewer failures among business men.

A Titanic Ulusleal Instrunteht. Baboll's fog trumpet makes more noise at the great Exposition than ali other machines and inventions tonkin ed. Correspondents say that its yell is absolutely terrific and unliko any thing evor before hoard on tho earth. Americans are fond of pointing it out to startled foreigners as anew musical invention in common uso in the region of the Rocky Mountins, where every family has several in the house for the amusement of the children. They aro alwyas careful to say tbat the machine on. exhibition is one of tho smallest msnafactured.

The Sheep and Do Interests of Indiana. In the census reports of 1850 Indiana is credited with 1,122,493 head of sheep. Ten years later the number had increased to 2,189.387, being a gain cf nearly one hundred per cent, annually. We have no statistics at hand by which to dotermino tho number at this date, but estimating tho same ratio of increase that thero was from 1850 to 1860, there aro now in this State about 3,700,000 head of sheep. How many dogs wo have has not been ascertained by census report, but the amount of taxes assessed upon the owners of these sheep-killing animals, in 186G, may bo considered an approximation to the true number. Nine counties mado no return of tho dog tax, in conpequence, probably, of decisions in some of the inferior courts against tho constitutionality of tho law imposing it, but tho amount levied in the other eighty-three counties was 154,840, and as tho usual tax is ono dollar for each dog, we have about 155,000 curs of high and low degree, against nearly 4,000,000 sheep.

Tho Supremo Court having sustained constitutionality of the dog tax, the delinquent coun ti cs will henceforth collect it, and unles the hydrophobia panic has thinned out the dogs largely, the amount of tho sheep indemnity fundwill show a considerable increase in tho noxt report of tho Auditor of Stato.

The dog tax is set apart as a fund to reimburse damages done by the killing or maiming of sheep by dogs, and as we havo met some farmers who wero not aware of its provisions, and proposod to abandon sheep raising in consequence of tho ravages committed by vagrant dogs on their flocks, we have thought it not unimportant to call attention to the pi*ovisions of the Act of March 2, '65, which was passed with the double object of discouraging the increase of dogs and encouraging the growth of wool.

Any person sustaining loss by the maiming or killing of '.lis shocp by dogs, may present h"is claim for damages to the trustee of tho township in which tlie mischief was done, and upon proper proof being made to tho satisfaction of tho trustee, he is required to award, and to pay out of tho fund arising from tho dog tax, such damages as he may deem just conditional, however, that the claimant will not prosecuto the owner of the dog causing the damage, and provided that ho has not prosecuted an action against the owner.

In case a surplus of over fifty dollars of this fund remains in the hands of the township trustee on the first Mon day in March of any given year over and above all orders drawn on the 'same, such surplus is required to be passed to the credit of the school revenue of the township, to bo exponded in the payment of tuition in such township as other funds received for that purpose.

What amount of claims havo been presented against tho respective counties, by sheep owners, we have bo moans of knowing, but we aro informed of several counties in which large amounts have be|n paid into the township school fundi'in default of claimants on account of sheep destroyed.

The fact, therefore, that great ravages aro occasihrially committed among flocks by dogs, should not deter our farmers from raising bhoep, as th law makes ample provision for reimbursing such losses. The high prices and comparative scarcity of beef and pork of late years, havo" largely increased tho consumption of mutton: and it is likely to become more and more an article of diet, in case tho abundance of eheop shall enable it to bo furnished at reasonable ratos.

The valuo of tho wool produced by tho number of sheep owned by our farmers is no inconsiderable item, we think, at a fair estimate, not loss than §6,000,000 annually, at the low price it now bears. The present tax on dogs will bo continued as long as the farmers of tho Stato chuose to have it continued, and if it should at any time be found insufficient to make good tho damages resulting from the raids of dogs upon the sheep folds, the Legislature will not hesitate to increase its amount.—Indiana Journal.

The report of tho Agricultural Department for April states tbat the loss of cattle from actual starvation and exposuro, during tho past winter, was extraordinary. Even in the climate of Texas, cno-tenth of tho stock is dead. In the territories, similar losses aro reported. In Hall county, Nebraska, one-tenth of the cattle perished in consequence of tho ground being covered with snow, from the middle of December until the 1st of April. Such is tho tenor of letters from the South and tho youngor States of the West. Most of the loss, it is added was plainly avoidable with proper expenditure, foresight, and industry.

the Heel and narrows off the Toe complete, sets up its own work, widens and narrows at will, and by knitting the web either tubular or flat, single double or ribbed, it produces ovor THIRTY ARTICLES OF APPAREL—anything from a Silk Watch Cord, Neck Tie or Glove up to an Undershirt. Shawl or Blanket. No other machine in the world can do these things, It knits at the rate of FOUR THOUSAND stitches per mihuto. It is the greatest labor saver, and the most useful, novel and profitable Machine ever invented. Every family shonld have one.

Farmers, don't sell your wool. You can treble its value by converting it into knit goods. All orders left with J. R. GRIFFITH, at Binford's Drug Store, in this city, will be promptly attended to.

The Union Partite

I=lall Road. OO-

Are now constructing a Railroad,from

OJflJIIIA NERRJLSUJI,

westward towards the Pacific Ocean, making with its connections an unbroken line

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

The Company now offer a limited amount of their

First Mortgage Bonds

having thirty years to run, and hearing annual interest, payable on the first day of January and July, in the City of New York, at the rato of

Six 3?er Cent, in Golclj

Klnetj Cents on tbe Dollar

This road was completed from Omaha 30S miles west on the 1st of January, 1867, and is fully equipped, and trains are regularly running over it. The Company has now on hand sufficient iron, ties, ete., to finish the remaining portion to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, 212 miles, which is under contract to be done September 1st of this year, and it is expected that the entire road will be in running ordor from Omaha to its western connection with the Central Pacific, now being rapidly built eastward from Sacramento, Cal., during 1870.

Jfleans of the Company.

Estimating tho distanco to be built by 'Vj Union Pacific to bo 1,565, miles the U. States Government issues its Six per cent. Thirty-year Bonds to the Company as the road is finished at the average rate of about $28,250 per nil amounting $44,208,000.

The Company is also permitted to issue its ewn First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at tho same time, which by special Act of Congress are made a First Mortgage on the entire line the bonds of the United States being SUBORDINATE to them.

The Government makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to tho mile, amounting to 20,032,000, estimated to worth $30,000,000, making the total resources, exclusive of the capital, $118,416,000 but the full value of the lands cannot now be realized.

The authorized Capital Stock of the Company is $100,000,000 of which $5,000,000 have already been paid in, and of which it is not supposed that moro than twenty-five millions at most will be required.

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

Prospects for Business.

The railroad connection betweeen Omaha atvl the East is now completo, and the earnings of the Union Pacific on the sections already finished for the first two weeks in May wero$U3,000. These sectional earnings as the road progresses will much more than pay tho interest on tbe Company's bonds, and the through business over the line of railroad between tbe Atlantio and Pacific must be immense.

Value and Security of the Bonds.

The Company respectfully submit, that tho above statement of facts fully demonstrates the socurity of their Bonds, and as additional proof they tbey would suggest that the Bonds now offered are less than ton million dollars on- 517 miles of road, on which over twenty million dollars havo already been expended —on 330 mil«.i of this road the cars are now running, and the remaining 187 miles are nearly completed.

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

Nine per Cent.*

md it is believed that on the completion of lh» road, like the Government Bonds, they will go abovo par. The Company intend to sell but limited amount at tho present low rate and retain the right to advance tho prico at their option.
