It is believed, however, they will beampi e, and it from any cause the dividend of three per ten', should be greatly curtailed, our citizens at the end jf the fiff en or twenty y ears, would willingly pay twenty-five or even fifty cents each to pay the remaining balance. Jn addition to the benefits to be otherwise conferred, the improvements referred to would greatly aid the stage transportation of the mails within our state. Although it is admitted the Legislature t-hould not hastily engage in any plan of general state improvement, yet ji would seem that both duly and interest demand preparatory measures for facilitating our exports and imports by improving our roads and navigable streams. To these exigencies of the country will shortly require the addition of rail-ways. The vast importance of such undertakings as the latter should prevent our embarking prematurely; but while our sister states

state officers to collect and digest in

and advantages to be derived trom canal and rail-ways? Were there merely a place where a more perfect knowledge of these matteis could be collected and diffused, and to which public attention could be directed, individual enterprise, and occasional aid from the General Government would furnish Valuable materials, and the expenses incurred would be small compared with the impoitancc of the objects to

On Thursday night, Oct. 31, some brty or fifty of the citizens of Jackson county, Mo. assembled above the Blue, (a river about eight or ten miles west of Independence,) and, irr pi rt, demolished twelve'of the dwelling houses of our people who occupied them at the time. The inmates were obliged to escape to the woods, women and children running in every direction, hallooing and
screaming; and tne men, being taken at surprise in the dead hour of the night, were
unprepared to de fi nd themselves if they had been disposed. They took two of our men, and beat them with stones and clubs, leaving only a breath of life in them. After tin's the mob dispersed, it being about 3 o' clock in the morning. Friday night, Nov. 1 , the mob broke ojien the store of Gilbert !k. Whitney and scattered their goods through the streets. They demolished Mr. Gilbert's brick dwelling
house, and broke in the doors and windows of all the dwellings in Independence belonging to our people.
