Truth in Poetry.

I once had money and a friend; On both I set jrreat store ; I lent my moncj' to my friend. And look his word therefor. I asked my money of my friend, And naii.zht but words I jrot ; I lost my motiey and my friend, For sue h'm I would not. If I had money and a friend, As once I had before, I,d keep my money and my friend, And play the fool 110 more. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. Editorial Excursion io Cheyenne. Editorial Correspondence Chicago Times. In the meanwhile must be related the experiences of those who ma le an appendix to the editorial excursion. Starting from the end of the track, a score on the evening of Saturday last, and some half dozen others on the following morning, the ambitious ones arrived at the two-months-old village of Chey enne, 221 miles we-t of Julesburg, and about CO miles west of the present terminus of the track the former portion in mule teams this morning, and the latter half dozen in government ambulances thisafternoon. Their extra exertions, their roughing it, were doub!y repaid by what they saw when they arrived here. On the 22d of July, Gen. .1. D. Stevenson arrived on the present site of the city of Chej'ennc, and found not a single inhabitant. On the 5th of August following there was but one building visible, and that not com jd et cd. On the Sthoflast month, when the first election for maj'or was held, Mr. Hook was elect ed the first 111.13-or of Cheyenne by a vote of a little over 1,000; while to-day may be comtcd over 2-"0 well constructed buildings, everal of which are of stone, and a popula ion of over 2000 people, two well-managed banks, and a very creditable scuii-weekly newspa per, called the Cheyenne Leader. Thus is seen a city of over 2000 souls, the creation of a little over two months, the most wonderful example of rapid growth that t.'.c history of the world can show. But the Cheyenne of to-day is but the infant of a great future. What it now is will not be discoverable, in the Chcj'cnnc of 13T0. When so much has been done in the space of two months, in the middle of nn uninhabited desert, with no railway passing it, what w ill there be on that spot when it shall be the distributing point of an universe region of country, situated on the largest ;ailroad in the woil.l, the emporium and colb cling magazine of the richest mineral and farming regions on the American continent? Tor Cheyenne is to be the possessor of nil these advantages. The Union l'acitie I'ailroad company itself, it is estimated, will spend several millions of dollars here in the construction of i-.iilroad works, round-houses, machine-shops, and Ihc other buildings appertaining to a great railroad centre; for it is bet e that the character of the rolling stook of the company will have to hchanged on account of the heaviness of the grading of the road to the west, viz: thirty to fifty feet per mile, and the comparatively lightness of the grading to the cast, viz; only three or four feet to the mile the one requiring much heavier engines than the other. Then the freight that must be nccissarily received here and sent from this point east and west, will require not less than eight thousand tvapons for the summer transportation. The minerals of various kinds, too, th it have, w ithin eompaiatively short periods, been discovered, here, which must necesaiilytin l their distributing point at this plate, must result in making it a great centre. MINKRALS. Within a few weeks, (Jen. Stevenson, the commanding officer at Fort liussell, situated about two and a half miles from the town, discovered from the base of the lilack hills, a spur of the Hocky Mountains, within a distance of lt miles from Cheyenne, a coal-vein nine feet in thickness, of pure lignite, which burns just like a candle, and containing masses of pure rosin. The portion of this mine so far opened contains a substance almost equivalent to tokc. being apparently coal that lias undergone the process of combustion. The mine is being developed, and w id 1111('oubtedly produce an excellent quality, equal to the best found in Illinois. Since this, another mine, producing coal of still better quality, has been discovered. About six miles north of Cheyenne is to be found one of the greatest curiosities to be found in the world an immense mountain of pure gypsum, both red and white, enough to manure the whole cemtinent. lletween Cheyenne ond Fort Casper, magnetic iron lias been found. On the Chug Hiver, between this point and Fort Laramie, copperalso lias been discovered. The first vein discovered was a six-foot one. WATER. The water supplied to Chevenne is of the best eiualitv. being brought bv tin? frow Creek from the Rock' Mountains. It is intended, although the Crow Creek will long give a supply fully sullieient to the use of the Cheycnncs, however rapid may be its grow th, to turn the Pole Creek into Crow in order to supply sullieient water or the irrigation of the surrounding countrv. which at oresrnt suffers somewhat from drouth, though not as much as persons, when looking at the dried up appearance of th; grass, would imagine; for, though the grass appears more like hav during the latte r months of summer, it is .... mucn more nutncious than the general prairie grass is; and the cows that eraze noon it. all through winter and summer, produce mucn richer milk than those that are fed upon other grasses. STONE. Stone of excellent quality was lately found within a distance of three miles from the city. (Jen. Stevenson, thinking that clone might be had at a much shorter elistmiec from the city than it had hitherto been brought from, 1 1 a 1 . . e'xpiorcu nie iieignoornoou, and lounU ten buttes. On the top of one of these butt es was discovered the remains of.tr; Indian fortification, triangular in shape, a.l showing considerable' skill in construction. On inquiry it was found to have been erected by the Crow Indian. It is situated on Crow Creek, which was named afte r it. Tin: (ITT. Now for a brief sketch of this city, whose hi? ory is more wonderful than even the histor of the construction of the; Union Pacific railioad. Its first huiMing was being e-on-structed on the 5lli of August last. u first mayor was clecte-d un the Nth ef August. It now contains over2,oen people nml 2ÖO luiihlings. One of these buildings is of stone-, 80 fee t in width by 120 feet in length, with 11 basement tI lee t by 42 feet, with two fee t walls. This building is to be used (or a general .storage ami commission business, and is emly a specimen of what the other buildings are. Now, to show that the growth of the town is not the- re sult of mere Kpe e ulation, it may be mcntione-d that nearly all the materials with which the town is constructed were bronirht frenn Colorado, a distance frenn 100 to ICO miles, by trams; lumber at a price eif .f 100 per thousand, and flooring- at $110 per thousand. What will be the greiwth of the city w hoa the iiiaten! fchall be brought br

ten minutes after entering the city. KOttT RUSSELL. Another thing that must give this city, for years to come, a certain import nice, is the existence of a large fort Fort Russell within a distance of two and a halfmile s from the town. At this station, which it now under the able command of Gen. Stevenson, there are over COO troops. Large barracks rre now in process of erection. The station is one of the finest in the west. "Any Port In a Storni. It is wonderful with what unanimity the Radicals everywhere now agree upon the necessity of nominating General Grant for the Presidency. A mouth ago, and before the ''Manhood Suffrage" party could be made believe that their pet idea cf negro equality and suffrage would be repu diated by the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania, they were not prepared to take "a pig in a poke," as they called it but rath er favored the nomination of a thoraughe? bred Radical like Stevens' or Kelley, or Sumner, or Wade drunken Ucn. Wade, we mean in order to compel the people of the North, as well as the South, to submit to ucgro rule. The late elections have convinced the wire-pullers that they are on the wrong track, so they gracefully veer around in the face of the wiud, and run oil' before it, with a certainty a3 they thiuk, of making that haven towards which all politicians turn their hanging eyes, success. In order to do so the more effectually, they make a scape-goat of, aud bawl lustily for the man who, of all others, they would not have chosen one month ago. If anything more was required by the people to convince them that the liepublican leaders think more of power and patronage than they do of the prosperity and elevation of the country, this last dodge should be sufficient. Let the people take this matter of President-making out of the hands af such miserable pettifogging politicians as Bill Mann and others of his ilk in this city. Ehifaiktyhia Sunday Men u y. 3Ir. EJacoln-s Loyally. The friends ot the " late lamented," those who persist in according to him more patriotism and virtr than even Washington possessed, have recently discovered by an official statement of the worldly affairs of the great martyr at the time of his " taking off," that he was in the blissful posscssi ni of Government bonds to the amount of about ijhty thonfaml dollars and they point to the fact as still another evidence of his great loyalty. When we take i:.to consideration the fact that the bonds in question are subject to no taxation whatever, aud that the Udorimj community are taxed exorbitantly to pay an interest in gold equal to nine per cent, on the loyal Lincoln's bonds, it becomes a question with us as to who is the loyal man he who boasts of and measures his loyalty by the auount of his bonds, or he who submits ejuietly to inordinate taxatiou that the Government may be enabled to pay such loyal leeches an interest in gold. We eloubt whether Mr. Lincoln would have died possessed of Government bonds to the amount of one dollar, had they been subject, like other prope: ty, to taxation. The true patriot stops not to count the cost of his patriotism, but freely gives his accumulated wealth, however great or small, for the defence ol his country. How many such patriots can we boast of iu the late conflict 'i The truly loyal men were those who stood by the Constitution, every article of which was repudiated by our Radical rulers, aud outside of which Mr. Stevens boasts of acting; and tho day is not far distant when the people, who have been duped and misled, will so declare from one cud of the continent to the other. Ileptihllcaiilziiig Stale. The congressional committee appointed to inquire whether Maryland has or has not a republican form of government is about to commence its inquiries, though wc submit that the ground is not well prepared for it. There is no need of sending a committee to Maryland to clear up a matter of this kind. What is wanted is simply a definition of a "republican form of government." If Congress wishes to get at the sense in which the framers of the Constitution used the phrase, they cannot do better than submit the question to the judges of the supreme court, or any other body ofrcspcctable jurists. If it wishes to decide simply what the phrase ought to mean, it can do it by joint resolution, without any advice whatever. The facts in the Maryland case arc known to everybody, and call for neither proed' nor inqu.ry. There has been a good deal of beating about the bush with regard to this phrase by men who ought to know better. No definition of a "republican form of government" has ever been given by competent, authority that will exactly meet the requirements of the Republican party. National Remthllcan. Atonllic(l Ilcd Men. A band of Indians made a pudden attack on a detachmeut of our soldiers in the mountains. The soldiers had a mountain howitzer mounted on a mule. Not having lime to take it off and put it in position, they backed up the mule and let drive at the Indians. The load was so heavy that mule and all went tumbling dowu the hill. The savages, who, not understanding that kind of warfare, fled like deer. Afterward one of them, was captured, when asked why he ran so, replied: "Me big Injin, not afraid of little guns, or big guns, but when white man load up and fire a whole jackass at Injin, me don't know what to elo."

The New l'ork Tribune, in commenting upon the result of the elections just held, makes the following suggestion : Flooding the country with priuting matter on the eve of an election is a desperate resort, better than nothing, and that is all. Xo reliance can be placed on it; little good ordinarily comes of t. Rut begin now, and S3'stematically insure that every man that has a vore hall have a newspaper if he will take it, and all is safe. This suggestion is as applicable to Democrats as Republicans. As a general thing Democrats are not as active as their oppoponents in circulating newspaper?. The work, to be effective, should be begun Jioic. Democrats should everywhere impress upon their friends the importance of subscribing for a good paper. (ic Albany Ltd'jrr. Dangerous Keminlscc nee.

Such meu arc safe counselors, and true friends, in every cane where they profess to be such. To them truth is more valuable than gold, while pretention is too gauzy to derive them.

In commenting a few days ago upon the reckless brolligaey of Mr. Stanton while Secretary of War, we mentioned the purchase of the crazy anil worthies-sold .steamship Illinois as one of the evidences of the fearful extravagance with which millions of the people's mone'y had been thrown away for the benefit of political partisans and parasites by the tyrannical autocrat of the War Department. Further ami more eletaile! and accurate information diseases the fact that this purchase of the Illinois and another steamship the Umpire City from the same owner, was not only an act of reckless and profligate extravagance, but even involved a ba.se and outrageous fraud upon the Government, which must have been known to Mr. Stanton at, the time, and to which he could not have been otherwise than privy and participant. It appears that the two old steamers the Illinois and Ktnpire City belonging to Marshall O Roberts, ef New York, had been offeied for sale to the Government. The Quartermaster (Jcncral ordered a survey of the vessels by competent inspecting officers of his ilepartment, who reported that they were unseawoithy and totally useless and unfit for uc. At this juncture it seems that ox -Judge Edwards Pierrmont, the particular and notoriously almost only confidential friend of Secretary Stanton, made his appearance as attorney for tho owner, and notwithstanding the adverse report of the Quartermaster

This indorsement of the President was filed, with the papers in the lliiti-jis case, in the third auditor's office, and, notwithstanding the protest of the Quartermaster General, the ship was paid for March 20, 18G5, by Gen. G. D. Wise, a bureau officer of the War Department. Mr. Lincoln died. The paper he had indorsed in regar I to the Illinois, mysteriously turned up iu the papers for the purchase of the Ktnpire City, and on June o0, 1SG5, after the death of Mr. Lincoln, that vessel also was paid for by the War Department iu the same manner as the Illinois. Thus some six hundred thousand dollars were fraudulently paid out by Secretary .Stanton, against the protest of the Quartermaster General, for property notoriously not worth more than sixty thousand under any circumstances. These vessels were so utterly worthless to the War Department that innuc liately after the purchase tli-j Illinois was tuno-d e.ver to tho ejuarantine uffioe vA New York, as a quarantine hospital ship. l'his is only one little leaf out of the record of frauds and lavish expenditures perpetrated in the War Department, under the very eyes, and with the knowledge and participation of Secretary Stanton.
