menls A (iattafrlrs of the"Htrong Minded to be Inflicted upon wis uirkeii firv Luxuries of the Sea son Kxmrslou Parlies to Pan Francisco and Kansas City Na- - lional Land Company Kcirspa per The first honor CTer conferred upon Abraham Lincoln by his ( onsmuenu, Chicago, July 5, 1809. Chicago no longer claima to be the metropolis of the Great West. Viatanciug all competitors for the honor the novellv soon wore off: when some enterprising person discovered that, reflnn!n, fVnm ocean to ocean the distance, Chi capo is an eastern city. At thi-, the ambitious town lifted her head, and now professes a rivalry with New York, entirely ignoring the exf cither Philadelphia or Bal timore, ono of which is three times ita owu size, and the other nearly double. Since our arrival here one week ac;o, we liavo had exceedingly disagreeable weather oppressiveiy sultry onediy; raw and cold, with a slow chwerleas rain the next. The streets, so beautiful, in dry weather, are swimming iu mud half the time, renderins locomotion in some localities exceedingly difficult. Near one of the depots in West Eud Saturday, we saw a powerful horse, attached to a light express wazon, sink to his body ia the mire, 'and actually had to be dug out, after everything else had Jailed to liberate hiin. We merely mention this circumstance to give an idea of the disadvantages Chicago "is compelled to c intend with in improvements of this kiud. Millions upon millions of dollars h'ive been expended upon these street.-, and it will take as. many more dollars as have already been paid out to male, them perfect. The citizens, however, t'ul.y realize the necessity, and do not shirk from performing what they aro convinced ought to be done. The, city is well supplied with amusements, when we take into consideration the season of the year in connection with the tightness of the money market. We know that amusements are languishing all over the country, and New York alone in the United States supports more places at the present time than Chicago. Col. Woods' .Museum and Theater is probabiy the most protitabla establishment the former department being open to the public day and night, and at the theater matinees are held twice a week Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. Tho structure is situated ia tho very center ot fashion, on Lake street; ia lar.teand well arranged, and its several floors and apartments are tilled with cariosities of assorted piquancy, and containing a ueat little theater, . upon whose Btairo is produced the leading plays ; ot Shakespeare, etc., by a . strung stock company, composed of the first talent ot the country. It is conducted after the " Wallackian principle " that is, no traveling "stars" are ever engaged. In conjunction with this place, Aiken's Dearborn Theatre, McVicker'a Madison Theatre and Crosby's Opera House, form the leading places; and all make fair returns. Aiken's is the best in the city, reigning as the " legitimate " establishment. When you go to hear a play there, you find it carefully and truthfully produced. At MeVicker's, "Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday " is having a fine run. It is ot the comic-nonsensical-sensational sort, abounding in startling climax, transformations and laughable antics of well versed " stage clowns." The play is principally made up of scenes from ' Hunipty Duinpty," the pantomime which had a run of nearly two years at tho OJympic, in New York, and which has created euJh a Jarore whenever produced. This style of performance is becoming very popular of late, and bids fair to rule the stage entirely after a time, and it probably produces its good as well ns its bad effects upon a community, as people, ladies in particular, who wer.i wout to attend the performances of soeh as Shakspeare's sublime creations have turned their attention to other and more healthy racreatious, such as Bymnastica, croquet, &.e. The result is, we have the woman of to-day robust, well-rounded, deep-ohested, and of excellent color. wlure, a!uiot within a decade, we had the spiritual, fragile, and unhealthy. By the way, speaking of women reminds mo that Chicago is on a tip-toe ot excitement in anticipation of another gathering of the "strong-minded." Just when tho event will take place has not yet transpired, and, as a natural consequence, The female portion of the community are kept in a killing suspense. The luxuries of the season, guch as strawberries, cherries, apples, new potatoes, &c., are abundant. In the four weeks commencing May 25th, one hundred and fifty six car loads, or one and a half million pounds of strawberries were brought to this market. An enterprising Chicago firm is negotiating for consignments of grapes from Napa Valley, California. Thus it will be seen that Chicago at least will be cared for, and have the delfcacies of the world fresh from their mil and climates during the entire year. The past week has been taken ud bjrthe publio schools in class examinations and commencement exercises, which generally have been interestice. - " It is the intention of the Typographical Union No. 16 to observe today publicly as a national hol'day. A large number of excursions have ' left hero for the far West, since the completion of the Pacific Road, and others, we learn, are in contemplation. On Friday last two parties left for Kansas City, to be present at the opening of the great bridge over the Missouri River at that point. The imposing ceremony took place yesterday, and was a grand affair. The occasion marks an important epoch in the history of the West. It forms a great connecting link which is of vast importance to Chicago, and she seems fully to appreciate it. 1 o-day a party of about twenty-five gentlemen, from among the principal men of Chicago, including several representatives of the press, will leave for San Francisco. It is their intention during this trip to visit a number of the principal intervening points for the purpose of facilitating commercial intercourse between Chicago and places along the line of tho Pacific Iiailroads. The newspapers of Chicago keep pace with the growing importance of the city. The Tribunt is the leading
daily; Republican in principles, and Conducted by an efficient corps of
tor and
writers. It probably has a circula
said 8hip exceeding that of any paper pub
lished West ot the Allegheny Moun
tains, unless, perhaps, we except the Cincinnati Commercial, which we are
not quite certain is necessary. On Friday evening II. H. Chandler,
iinn.
of the Times, increased his worldly possession by the addition of a Deau tif'ul and accomplished wife, Ape
brides name was Mary S. Wilce. one was a dausrter of Thomas Wilce, hsq., one of Chicago's oldest and most influential citizens. . Through the kindness of a friend we were yesterday permitted to examine, a (.(inv of the Unify Chicago
inrr American., bearing date of the 24th of her. 1S39. The city at that time claimed a population of twelve thousand, probably had eight. At the head of the first column, second page, appears thetollowing campaign ticket: "The Union of the Wh gs for the sake of TJuiou." . For President, Wm. II. Harrison, of Ohio; For Vice-President, John Tyler, of Virginia. Whig Ticket For Presidential Electors, the names of several persons of local note at that time. "One Presidential term tho integrity of the public servants the safety of the public money, and the general zood of the people." On this ticket appears the name of President Harrison, who was elected, and, af ter oocupyiug the Chair one month, died very mysteriously, leaving the faithless John Tyler to finish his term. Oo the same ticket also appears the name of the illustrious Abbaham Lincoln, as an Elector, that being fy about tho fvfst official honor that was ever conferred upon him by his constituents who was assassinated after a little over one month of his second Presideutial term had expired, leaving the wretch, Andrew Johnson, to servo out the remainder of his term. Little did that good and honest man think, at the time, he would lead the grand armies of America to victory, and liberate an oppressed . and . down trodden race, that ha would proclaim to all tho world, in "characters of burning light," that slavery should cease to exist in tins land, and none but freemen dwell beneath its banners. We also notice a letter from Uenrv Clav. to the Harrisburg Coo vention, which we have neither the timo nor the space to speak of. It is an eloouent letter, written oo the sab i et of selecting a candidate for the Presidency, and shows out to advan taee the noble character of the man There are several references to publio affairs and public men, that we would like to notice, but it would ba impos sible to do so, and bring this letter within a reasonable limit There is a branch agency in this city of an incorporated company styled the " National Land Com pany," which has a cash capital or two hundred thousand, aciiars. it obiects are the promotion ot emigra tion, and the settlement and develop ment of the rich mineral and agncul tural lands ot tue V estcrn btatea an Territories, and by uniting an J oper atine tne land and transporta:ion as to afford every agriculturist, mechanic and minei, desirous ot emigrating, cheap transportation for their fami lies and eoods. The Company com menced business the first of Oo tobcr last, and, although almost exclusively confined to homo aeucies, they have sold nearly three hundred thousand acres of land to actual settlers. They are now establishing Agencies throughout Europe, ami are krauging with ocean and land transporfatiou companies to sell tickets and send goods to any point in the VVes . and when large companies are moviig, to have special agents accompany '.hem from Europe to the lands. The c tizeos. in this movement, display i determination not to allow the tl rills of growth which Chicago - has felt for the last two decades to disappear. They believe that by encouragiug the fever of developing empire, to eros the Missis sippi and go on building with a fury new cities, that Chicago will reap all tho benefits, and becomothe first, or (making all possible concession) the second city in the world. This idea seems to gain credence outside of Chicago's wails, too. The California Overland Almthh, for July, has an article on "The Keal Estate Mania," which opens as follows: There is a story of an old hunter, who came into Chicago one day, and after waudcriog about for a while, looking at tho public buildings and other improvements, got into a chat with ono of the inhabitants, in the course of which he mentioned to him that he had onco bad a chance to buy ail the ground that the city was built upon for a pair of old boots. "And why didn't you buy it?" was the very natural question of the interlocutor. "Well, 1 hain't the boots just then," was the old man's calm reply. This is cited by the Overland with a glowing picture of to-day a9 a contrast. The work is indeed a wouderfu! one, and thp question naturally presents itself, Where will it all end? Claude.

The Committee on Appeals of Railroads reported as follows: Your committee to whom was. referred the appraisement of the vari ous railroads in the State of Indiana, and to report to this Board the names of the railroads that have filed their appeals with the ; Auditor of State, have to report that, owing to the fact there i no appraisement of a number of roads in the Srato at tho command of the committee, their report is necessarily incomplete. The following are the names ot railroads whose appraisements have been reported to the Auditor of State: Joliet and .Northern Indiana llailroad, appraised at $31,000 per mile. Indianapolis, Crawfordsville and Danville, at $3,000 per mile. Indianapolis and Yincennes at $3,000 per mile. - . Michigan Central at $9,500 per mile. .Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, "at $400 per mile. Evansvillo and Crawfordsville, at $3,000 per mile. Indianapolis, Peru and Chieago, at $5,000 per mile. , Terre Haute and Indianapolis, at $12,000 per mile. Ohio and Mississippi, at $5,000 per mile. IIAILROADS THAT HAVE APPEALED. The following railroads have filed appeal pipers with the Auditor of State: " Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana, appraised at $9,500 per mile. Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, appraised at $10,000 per mile. Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette, appraised at $7,500 per mile. Shelby & llushville, appraised at $5,000 per mile. Columbus & Shelby, appraised at $5,000 per mile. Lake Erie & Louisville, appraised at $5,000 per mile. Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis, appraised at $6,000 per mile. Indianapolis and Cincinnati Junction, appraised at $3,000 per mile, with fifty per cent, penalty added, increasing the appraisement to $4,500 per mile. Your committee find it very difficult to make any suggestions that they deem of value to the Board, from the fact that it has no power to equalize the appraisement of railroads by increasing the same. The committee are satisfied that great inequalities exist in relation to the appraisement of railroads in the State, but owing to the insufficiency of the laws governing the same, they are compelled to recognize the fact that the powers of the-Board are circumscribed. We are satisfied that but few, if any, ot the railroads in tne estate are appraised, too high; but the reverse, ' that many of them are appraised too low, when compared with the real property of the State, and it is to be determined by the Board whether it will proceed with the equalization of railroads by reducing those that are appraised nearer on eauality with other property ot the State, thereby making an exception of! railroads generally, or whether they will be left as they now stand appraised and the Board content itself as best it can by expressing regret that the law does not give it the power to do justice between the different roads, and between railroads and thir property, by increasing the ap-
.the, ptata ..icnz are ooviously ap
praised too low., A. C. Thompson, Victor Bisch, A. J.Castater, j , Committee.
The report-was, on, motion, concurred in. It was ordered by the Board that they now hear the arguments of counsel and the statement of officers touching the various railroads that had filed their appeals from the appraisements made. The arguments of counsel on behalf of the appeal of the Jeffersonville Road . and branches, Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Road, Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Road, and Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Road, were heard. 1 ' On motion, Messrs. Bisch, Rudisill, O'Brien, Neal and Casta ier, were appointed a committee to examine and report in regird to the appeals of the various railroads presented, and to recommend whatever acuon of the Board in their judgment would be fust and equitable iu the premises. On motion, the Board adjourned to meet on Tuesday. July 13th, at 10 o'clock A. M. Indianapolis Journal GBOCEIIIES. Tlie Cash Grocery, 7G MA1X ST. Is in U'vill Blast.
