PERU AND CHICAGO RAILROAD. Gov. Bebb and Hon. John B. Niles addressed our citizens at the court house in this place on the 27th ult., relative to the practicability of this work, and particularly in relation to making Plymouth a point on the route. The former gentle man is the President uf the board undertaking this work, and in the course of his remarks, estimated the increase of distance incoming by this place, at about four miles we being a little north of u direct line from Peru to Laporte. Since the meeting here, there has been a manifest liberality on the part of our

citizens in removing the obstacles in the way of this place being a point, at least so far as the construction of the extra -1 inileg is concerned. We are informed that very liberal and unexpected u mountshave been subscribed, and a fair prospect is ahead for securing ample inducement for the company to visit us with their iron horse, especially when he breaks for tall timber, a very scarce article on the route from Peru to Chicago, except in this county. The resident of the Board is authorized to put the road under immediate contract as soon as surveyed and located from Fern to Laporte, a distance cf but 70 miles. This is an important work to our citi zens. Place us in railroad communication with Peru, and we there have tht selection of our own mode for further travel. The great Wabash Valley road and Wabash and Erie Canal, as eastern and western outlet?, the Peru mid Indianapolis road, deliveiing us to the metropolis of our State, at which point roads are centering from all directions; ami then on the other hand, when we get in connection with the Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan roads at Iiporte. placing in our travels to Chicago, the New Albany and Michigan City road which chains together with an inextricable grasp, the shores of Lake Michigan and those of the Ohio river and with these combined facilities we shall be fully provided foj. tl. ,: c Ine Publication ot a Minmnnirn inn m ' reply to Senex of last week would be a total loss of ammunition. Men sometimes render themselves quite ridiculous in surmUing that certain persons are the authors of certain anonymous articles, and firing away at them in the dark. Parties really aggrieved, can have the real name of the author of Senex, by applying for it; but as weliave before stated, our columns are to be devoted to different uses than that of discussing little personal difficulties.

In alluding to the numerous improvements which seem justly to afford interest and encouragement to our entire population, and which are very properly subjects of frequent remark by our correspondents Philo very reasona bly demands where are our school houses? Another State Fair. 1 he officers of the State Board of Agriculture have already announced that the Doard will meet at Indianapolis on the 4th of January next, at which time counties desiring to have the next annual State Fair, may submit their propositions. Fsesii Arrival. The cool and refreshing showers with which we were visited for a few evenings past, were welcomed by many cheerful hearts, and upon the principle that small favors are thankfully received, we should not grumble because there was not more of it. Dr. A. C. Stevenson of Putnam county in this State, is now on a visit to Europe, for the purpose of importing some valuable stock, which it is probably the Ur's. intention to have at home in time for the State Fair at Lafayette. Richard Henry Lee, the senior Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, died on the 21 it ult. His place as an Editor will l& difficult to fill.

We understand that our citizens, as a general thing, are promptly meeting their monthly payments on the stock subscribed in this county, to the Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. These evidences of the confidence of our citizens in the early construction of this road, give that kind of impetus which is best calculated to insure the realization of their fondest anticipations. Contractors take encour

agement, and drive their work with re newed energy, and the dark forebodings of disappointment, failure, and conse quent bankruptcy, are thus dispelled from the minds of the directory, and with full confidence, they may safely promise thir creditors and the people a full and cheerful compliance with all their reasonable requirements in the early completion of the work. Rake Spout. See our advertising columns for an account of th great race that is to come off on Saturday next, in the vicinity of this place. Graham's Magazine for August has come to hand, and as usual, richly laden with intellectual and household treasures. We can procure this work or any one of our subscribers for less than its published price of 63. Tax Payers of Plymouth would do well to notice the advertisement of the collector, in this paper especially the Banks. Jacob is a man of his word, and seldom jokes when he has his shoes on. Accounts of the continued drouth are contained in most of our exchanges from all parts of the country. In the Southern part of this State, the com, in some neighborhoods is said to be past rede in p lion, and that half a crop will not be realized. The Fugitive Slave Case. The arrest of John Freeman, a colored resident of Indianapolis, upon the affida vit and claim of a southerner named Ellington, has created no little excitement about the capitol. A postponement of the investigation of the claim some two or three weeks ago, afforded both parties time and opportunity to procure their testimony. The counsel for the defence has returned from Georgia with testimony to establish the freedom of his client. An old citizen of Georgia accompanied him and upon meeting Freeman, was recognized by him in such a manner as to satisfy all present that there was no hum bug about it. Meantime Islington relurucu tu iiniuiidpous, or'njiiiis Wim 1 ' o . i t .. I ; i? t ?.i him three men to identify Freeman as his slave. The investigation is shortly to be had and the question settled, the result of which our readers shall have as soon as ascertained. Nor a Darkey. As a result of our location, prudence, piety or color, it appears that there is not a single negro or mulatto in this county. With the present state of our society, there is but little danger of a violation of the statute law prohibiting amalgamation. We have Harbers in abundance, who charge nothing for shaving. Boots that need no blacking; and as to little dirty jobs, we have none of them to do. Riots, robbery anil burglary are contributing their full share in affording local items for the Lifayette papers. We admire the independence of the Journal editor iu frankly exposing the causes. It may seem to those out of that city that the new liquor law is not producing its anticipated results. Our &oil out here is too rich for making brick, and its cultivators too honest to make whiskey; and it is a rare thing to see a man with a brick in his hat. Important. 11.

Horace Greely gave public notice, some time since, in the New York Tribune. that he would compensate liberally any of the '"mediums" who would report for the Tribune, every evfning, a synopsis of the vents of the day in Europe, in lime for his next morning's edition; payment to be mide on the arrival of the next succeeding steamer, provided the news brought by the steamer confirmed the reports of the "medium." No reports have yet been received from them. Here was a fair opportunity of testing their skill, which it feems the "mediums" declined accepting. There is no mystery at all about the medium, as Europe has not yet been agreed upon as the Spirit Land." Large deposites of coal have recently been discovered on the bank of the Ohio river, near Newburg, in this Sta:.e, and capitalists have already purchased the land at a considerable advance.

New Magazine. The proprietors of the New York Dutchman say they intend getting up, some time in October, a first closs Literary Magazine. We may anticipate something rich and interesting.

JER1AL TRAVELLING. Mr. Wise, the celebrated teronaul, is again endeavoring to obtain the necessary funds to effect a balloon trip io Europe. The idea that the Atlantic can be successfully crossed in balloons, hes long been entertained, -and a few years ago, it may be recollected, Mr. Wisa asked Congress for i small donation to aid him in the effort to accomplish it, which was refused. The time estimated from New York to Liverpool is 40 hours, which, if accomplished, would tend to bring English and American shores upon more intimate terms. American enterprise knows no bounds, and Congress has spent many thousands of dollars to less purpose, than had the desired amount been devoted to the establishment of Wise's mail route across the Ocean in balloons. lion.

We have advices fromCuracoa to the lGih inst. The fever had entirely disappeared and the Island was healthy. An omnibus yesterday was crushed between two cars, while attempting to cross the track of the Hudson river railroad, on the Tenth avenue. Two pas sengers only, a lady and gentleman unknown, were in the omnibus, both of whom were so badly injured that their recovery is doubtful. The omnibus was smashed to pieces and both horses killed. The driver was uninjured. Boston, July 2S. At Newfoundland, a large meeting of the inhabitants has been held, at which it was resolved, without opposition, that unlettered commercial relations with the United Slates Bre necessary to the continued prosperity of the province. The announcement that some of the American fishing vessels are armed, continues to excite a good deal of attention throughout the country. Restitution. The Washington Co. Tost says a chap in a certain village, with whom he is acquainted, having had sanded sugar sold to him, inserted in the weekly paper the following: Notice. I purchased of a Grocer in this village a quantity of sugar, from which 1 obtained ONE i0UiTD OF SAND. If the rascal who . cheated nie will send to my address seven lbs. good sugar, (scripture measure of restitution,) I will be satisfied; if not, I shall expose him. On the following day nine seven pound packages of sugar were left at his residence, from as many different dealers, each supposing himself the person intend.ed.
