RICHMOND, 1ND., OCT. 19th. 1865. RAIL ROAD MKKTINUS. "he aeries of meeting advertised to be held t tbe various pninta along the line of the Fort Wayne 4 Kichmond Railroad line, was commenced at Newport on last Thursday. A larire delegation present from Richmond. The meetinir of citizens was not as large aa wa bad reason to eiiwt,bnt there was a commendable seal manifested by those ire sent. A committee of sonie sis gentlemen was appointed to canvai tor atock in that township, who thought they could raise flut)0 for that point. LIS N VII. I. K. The meeting waa Held at this point on Friday, and we wore somewhat disappointed in not bndiiig a larger meeting of tlie farmers of the country. A committee of six was appointed at this point, to raise the necessary subscription. And we trust the people of I.y nn and vicinity will respond liberally, as we think this the only opportunity for them to jfft a railroad. If the people along tna present line say, by tlieir actions, that fhey do not wish tbia road between thin point and Uicbinond, then we have a proposition from some of tlieritixena on a line by the way of Villiamhurg and ftloomingaport. Hut we trust that there will be do necessity of change of line, and there has been some work dona on the present line from this point to Kichraond. Hut tha road must and will he made on some line, and this eannot be done without money. Ten thousand dollar! for Washington township is all the Hoard of Dirrtora require at that point. This ouifht to be raised ia two data by the jivople. We trust they will do it. WINCllKSTc.lt. The nutating was held here in lake's ll.ill, on Saturday tha 7th inst. A larre audience was present to hear ths Hod. Milton Savior and Hon. John l. Minor, f Cincinnati, speak of the proHrt ol the road and the probabilities of its being completed, l'-n id Heaston was made President of the uietinsr, and Thomas L. Scott, Secretary. Over $5,1)00 were subscribed in a few minutes, and a committee of the follow in if gentleuien waa appointed to canvass the tow n and country lo r stock : Col. 11. If. NetT, N. P. Heaston, U. W. Holms, T. W. Kuer, J. D. Carter, Hon. 1 homas Ward ami John Nerf. The most enthusiastic feeling prevailed. We tlnuk Winchester and vicinity will subscribe $25,000 during this week. We have confidence that with the proper energy this) road will be a success. Let every man do hit duty, and wa have no fears. It is entirely afe i because, if tha road ahniild never be made, then there will be nothing to pay. We say let all work and all subscribe, and the matter will be accomplished without working a hardship nn any one. This is the moment to savs what has been subscribed, for when tha consolidation of this road with the Orand Itapida and ludiana Knad takes place, the old stock heretofore subscribed ia worth dollar fur dollar. KID;tVII I K. At a meeting held at the M. K, Church on the 10th, Robert Star buck waa chosen 1'reiideiit, and Lieut. W. S. Fisher, Secretary. Hon. Hilton Sayfor, of Cincinnati, in a very able manner addressed the meeting on the importance of at once raising stock enough, by local subscription, to make the Cincinnati and Kort Wayne kail road ready for tha Iron, from Richmond to ort Wayne, at the conclusion of which, John L. Minor also addressed the people, clearly showing tlie importance of tha enterprise. A committee to aolicit stock for the purpose of bnilding tha road was then appointed, consisting of K. Starbuck, 1. K. Williamson, Lieut. W. Si. r iaher, Ueorge Addiugtoa and I. C. Milner. MOUNT PLEASANT. Ala meeting of the cititens of New Mount Pleasant and vicinity, bald at the Church in ssid town, on the 10th day of October, lMrtA, Mr. Levi James was chosen President, and Wm. C. Hudson. Secretary. Mr. Mendenhall stated tha object of the meeting to be for tha purpose of securing additional stock sutlicient to complete the Cincinnati Railroad, and then introduced .Mr. Savior, who proceeded to address the meeting on the siibieet of aakl road, and tlie interests of the community in the same. Mr. Mendt-nhall then introduced Mr. Minor, of Cincinnati, who proceeded to speak on the subject, and interests ot the country in said Kailroad. At tha conclusion of the remarks of Mr. Minor, tha Hon. Mr. Shoaff, being calleil, came forward ami addressed the meeting. Ho tlioucht the Railroad to be an object of the greatest importance, sn I from what he bad observed, he thought this the goldn opportunity tor securing it. At tha conclusion of which. Col. Ncflf was introduced, and explained thetnauner of Inking subscriptions and form of notes. On motion, tha following gentlemen were appointed a committee to procure stock and Inko notes: Ivi James, Joseph Itrown, Mr. Reeves, lr. Shepherd, I. N. Stratton a ad Wm. W. Steed. Hi,,. Jour. Taiing (ovf rniit'iit ItomN. Tba New York Tribune presents the following consiilerations upon the aubject of taxing Uoveryment bonis : Of course there la some grumbling. as there always is. One would have the evidences of national debt taxed ; though as wa have all that debt to borrow afresh at vary abort dates the vfleet of this would inevitably ba to raise the rate of interest, so as to take rive dollars out of tha Treasury for ever v four it put in. If you tax the bonds, the lender will take that circumstance into account in making his bills for the new loans, whereby tba most ot those now running must soon I reolaoed ; so that, instead of gradually working our average rate of interest down to five if not four per cant., wa ahall have to pay six or seven, as now. This project of lijhtening our hunlcns by taxing our debt ia as futile as it is pern Jious. Resolafion of FiMlorst-inent. Tha original Lincoln aud Johnson members of the legislature will moat likely vote i';',irWj to lay on tha table all resolutions of endorsement of the present administration, nail all political resolutions of every kind, whioh may ba offered by the supporters of McCIellan, and by delegates to tba Chicago Convention. They think that after having stood for three years by A ml raw Johnson, and voting for bits for the Vice Presidency in 1M4, they can easily afford to decline eonsiderinfl the alerenth hour resolution of approbation offered by the supporters of the Chicago platform, which pronounced the war for the Cnion a "four ym7wlwr." SaJtnlU Time. The UoveraaMDt is now drawing on the Southern postmaster for balances due before the reliellion. If these drafts are n paid, suits wiil be instituted at once. Tha express train going east between Harrisburg and Lancaster, was thrown from the track, Sunday last, by a broken rail. Eight persons were killed and ten slightly Injured, Areordirlg lo tbe statement of the Memphis BUUnti that city must ba a lively place for lawyers. It says there are over 1,000 rases on tbe criminal docket, and ,4v casea on the docket of the Common La v and Chancery Court. There is but one judge for each court, and the BUUtm urges that the number should be increased, ia order that tbe dockets may be cleared during tha Ufa of the present generation. A Kansas paper, sneering at the stupidity of a cotemporary. says : The bast thing ha has got off this week is a dirty shirt." A exchange says the best core for palpitation of tbe bear! is to Wart off bogging and kissing the girls. If this is the only remedy, we say let her palpitate. TaB refsse of bora usej in tha manufacture of combs ia weed ia tha manufacture of potash, and from tba waste ia this process is obtained the delicate pineapple flavor aad by confectioners. sy Several boxes af Spencer rifles were seised at Vi igara City Friday last, by the Canadian authurii.es as belonging 45 Fenian smaggWrs.

THE NATIONAL FINANCES. Pelicy f Secretary 31 cCnlloch His Speech at Fort WaynewA Return to Specie Payments Coat ractio the only Means.

Ton know that I did not seek, aa I did not expect, to be Secretary of tba Treasury. To tbia fact I attribute, in a great degree, the good feeling aod indulgence thai have been manifested toward me in the very trying and responsible position I occupy. I accepted the office of Secretary of the Treasury with rreat distrust of my ability to meet tbe public expectation, bat with a sincere desire to do ao, and to conduct tbe affairs of tbia great department so as to aid in restoring the credit of tha Government, which has been damaged by the greatness of the public debt, and the uncertainty in regard to the deration, if not to tbe rvsult of the war, and in bringing np tbe obligations of the Government to the apecie standard. Jam not one of those w ao aeem to repudiate coin aa a measure of value, and to make a secured paper currency the standard. On the contrary, I belong to that class of persona woo, regarding an exclusive metallic currency ss an impracticable thing among aa enterprising and commercial people, nevertheless look upon an irredeemable currency as an evil which circumstances may, for a time, render necessary, but which is never to Vie sustained ss a policy. By the common consent of the nations, gold and silver are th ; only true measures of value. They are the necessary regulators of trade. I have myself no more doubt but that these metals were prepared by the Almighty fortius very purpose, than I have that iron and coal were prepared for the purposes in which they am being nsed. 1 favor a well-secured, convertible paper currency.'o other can to any extent be a proper substitute for coin. Of course, it is not exrectd that there shall be a dollar of coin in reserve for every dollar of paper in circulation. This is not necessary. For all ordinary home transactions, a paper currency la sufficient, but there are constantly periods occurring when balances between countries, aud in the L'nited States between the different sections, must be settled in coin. The balances are insignificant in amount in comparison with the transactions out of which they arise, and when a vicious system of credit does not too long postpone settlements, tliey are settled without disturbing tbe movements of coin. Whenever specie ia needed for this purpose, or for any other purpose, the paper currency of the couutry should be convertible into it ; and a circulation not so convertible will not be, end oupht not to be, long tolerated by the ieople. The present convertible currency of the United States was a necessity of the war, but now that the war has ceased, and the Government ought not to he longer a borrower, this currency sho'd be brought up to a specie standard, and I see no w ay of doinj; this but by withdrawing a portion of it from circulation. I have no faith in a prosperity which is the effect of a depreciated currency, nor can I see any safe path for us to tread but that which leads to specie payments. The extreme high prices which now fprevail in the l'nited Stales are an unerring indication that the business of tbe country is in an unhealthy condition. We are measuring values by a false standard. Wo have a circulation altogether larger than is needed for legitimte business. The excess is used in speculations. The l'nited States are to-day the best market for foreigners to sell in, and the poorest to buy in. The consequence is that Kurope is selling us more than she buys of us, including our securities, which ought not to go abroad ; and there is a debt rolling up against us that must lie settled in part at Usast, with coin. For the longer the inflation continues, the more difficult will it be, for us to get back to the solid ground ot specie payment, to which we must return sooner or later. Jf Congress shall, esrly in tha approaching session, authorize the funding of the legal tenders, and the work of a reduction is commenced and carried on resolutely, but carefully snd prudently, we snail reach it Crobably without serious embarrassment to legitimate usiness. If not, we shall have a brief period of hollow and seductive prosjierity, resulting in wide-spread bankruptcy and disaster. There are other objections to the present inflation. It is, I fear, corrupting the dublic morals j it is converting the business of the couutry into gambling, and eriously diminishing the labor of the countrv. This a always the effect of excessive inflation. The kind of gsmbling which it produces is not confined to the stock and produce boards, where the very terms used by the operators indicate the nature of the transactions, but it is spreading through tbe towns and into the rural districts. Men are apparently getting rich, while morality languishes, and tlie productive interest of the country is being diminished. Good morals in business, and safe, persevering industry, if not at a disccunt, sre considered too old fogyish for the present times, lint I feci that this is not the occasion for rroaking, and perhaps I ought to apolopixe for the train of remarks into which I have been led, but I feel tnxinus about the present inflation and its effects upn the business and morals of tbe country. 1 am 'inpefiil that by wise legislation, we shall escape a fiancial collapse, and I am confident that a grand fuure is before the L'nited States. I am hopeful that Jio currency may be brought up fo the specie standrd without those financial troubles which hare, in all countries, follow ed protracted and expensive wars. By the experience of the last four years we are led w the conclusion that our people bare a latent power .hat always manifests itself when required, and it is equal to any emergency. I have faith in that as we hare, to the astonishment of the world, raised immense armies, larger, I apprehend, than any other nation ever brought into the field, and met the enormous expenses of the war without borrowing from nther nations, we shall also be able to fund, without a financial crisis, or surplus currency, and interest earing notes; bring back business to a specie standard, aud place the credit of the country on the most satisfactory basis. If we do this, we shall accomplish a hat the si. undent thinkers in Kurope have considered an impossibility, and what no people hut the free and enterprising? people of the United States, occtipyinn the grandest countrv in the world, could accomplish, lbit should we be disapKinted in these heul expectations ; should no early check be put upon he issue of paper money: should prio aiiJI further adrance, and sieculatun be still further stimulated, nd the result thereof be extensive bankruptcy, depression and hard tiniest the grand destiny of this countrv and this government will not be affected. The l'nited States occupy the best portion of the emperate xone of a continent stretching out its arms 0 Kurope on the one side and Asia on the other, prolucing all articles necessary for the subsistence and oml'ort of the race. If cotton be king, he is, thank lod, enthroned again. If bread be king, where should lis espital be but in, the great vallcv of the Mississippi? This nation has within itself everything that is necled to make it the greatest among "the family f nations. Coal and iron are in juxtaposition, and n inexhaustible supply ; mountains and valleys rich ough in gold and sil ver to furnish the world for all ime with what tuav be needed for civilization and other uses ; copper, lead, andother minerals in no less abundance ; a soil of wonderful fertility : a chelate salubrious, diversified : and, above all, republican institutions, and an energetic and cultivated people. We have, it is true, difficult questions growing out of 1 lie war yet to be settled as they come up tor settlement, in'such a manner as will strengthen the Cnion ,nd add to our national renown. The labor question at the South is one of those questions, but if there be no outside interference it will not, I apprehenuVbe a vory ditlicult one. On the eontrary, it is quite likely to be a sell-adjusting one. rbe planter needs the labor of his former slaves, and the high price which Southern products will command or years to come will enable him to pay liberally for t. The colored people will soon learri that freedom mm slavery does not mean freedom from work. The nterestaef the two races will not longbe antagonistic, riie whites wiil need tlie labor of the blacks, and the larks will need employment. There is as much daner to be apprehended from the unwillingnes.1 of the 'atter to labor fr support, as from an inJis,wsition o pav fair wsees. LiVeallothereconomicalquei'ions, t will be settled by the necessities and interests of U,e ;arties. Fortunately for the solution of this question nd the well being of the laboring men generally, capiat is not supreme in the l'nited States. It does not, m in most other countries, hold labor under its control, a 1 dole ent to it just sueh remuneration only aa will nake it most productive. Labor ia a power in this ree country, with its cheap lands, which are within he reach of all mdnstrious men. and dictates terms O capital. jTliere is no part of the world where labor s more needed than in the Southern States. No vhere will it soon command better prices. This labor uestion at the South will, I doubt not. be satisfactorily rranred in due time for the best interests of all eoasrned. Hard oa the Democracy. Harper's Weekly, s paper that had decided leanings ward the Democracy before the rebellion took place, peaks thua harshly but truthfully of tbe party which till claims to bear the name. Tt says : "The national prestige of the Pemocratic name is one. The name of the Democracy is indissolnbly tsociated with treason, rebellion and civil war. I'o- . er IVmocratic ascendency the conspiracy was consived and matured. Under a Democrats Adminisration it ripened. By Democratic chiefs it was dicted. H v Democratic politicians it was defended od excused. By a Democratic Convention it was delated triumphant. Br Democratio organs and ora- - n, as far aa they dare, the theories from which the ebelbon sprung are still justified. Tbe Democratic arty has forced its best men from its ranks. It has restituted a noble name to the basest purpose. At . ome time that name may become asain respectable, ' at for the present the American people hare had quite aoagh of the Democracy:" Another large muster outof volunteer Brigadier and '.'ajor Generals is expected, it being understood that it -s recommended by General Gaarr, and favored by .'lie War Department. Chief Justice Chase has recently written a letter, ia aich occur tbe following sentences : "I shall aver regret my opposition to Gen. Bank a. I am convinced now that he waa the only man who Aiald make Louisiana a free Slate." The letter from which the above ia taken was writn after Mr. Chase had visited Louisiana.

IOWA A'D OI1IO. The Chicago Time remarks that "sufficient re rams from Iowa and Ohio have been received to show that the republican majorities in each cf these Stales have been e norm on sly reduced." Ia 12 tbe Copperheads carried Ohio by '6,000 majority. Last fall the Republicans won st tba October election by 39,000. In November Lincoln carried Ohio by 24,000. This fall Gen. Cox has about 30,900. Does this look mach like redjcinf the Republic majorities T Tbe last time the Copperheads made a serious eontest in Iowa was in 1443, when they were beaten on tlie home rote 17,477. The Republican majority this fall is quite as large, and perhaps it will go to 20,000It would have been SO, 000 bnt for the Maine liquor law question absurdly thrust into the contest in many parts of the Stale. That issue cut down the Republican vote in Davenport, Muscatine, Burlington, lieokuk, and elsewhere, as the Germs ns refused to have their "lager" beer interfered with. Last fall the Copperbeads made no fight in lows. So many of them had lied to Canada and the Western mines, or taken refuge with the Mormons to escape the draft and avoid fighting for the Cnion, that the few who remained at home let the election go by default, which accounts for the almost unanimous vote cast for Lincoln. But why does the Timet ignore the great Keystone State, which voted on tbe same day T What about the enormous "Democratic gain" in Pennsylvania T Last fall at the October election the Copperheads had a small majority; and at the great Presidential struggle Lincoln only carried the State on the home vote by 5,712, and with the soldiers bis majority; was but 20,075. This fall, with the negro suffrage issue in the haads of tbe Copperlieads, tlie Republicans hare swept tbe State by 23,000. Oiicwjo Tribune.

Farther Reports from the Connty Elections we are hearing from the Pocket. One of the liveliest contests that occurred in the Stalest the resent election, was in Vanderburgcoonty. Both parties did their best. Tbe Union men elected their candidates by majorities much larger than last year, the average I'nion gain being 3u0 over the October Election of li64. . Pike gave a L'nion majority of 250 a gain of 300 over lHdt. Spencer elects a Cnion Representative, and county ticket, by 1 1 1 majority. Gibson county gives a L'nion majority of 200. It gave McCIellan a majority of 219, at the Presidential election. L'nion gain 419. Warrick is reported Union by 100 majority ; a Union train of 3Ht. The Kransville Jonrnnl states that Posey county has elected the I'nion candidates majority uot given. It gave McCIellan a majority ot 22H. Montgomery county gives a L'nion majority of 13 ; a gain of 113. lit Marshall county the Copperhead tick t was eWted by the meagre majority of 170. McCIellan 's majority in Llrt was 3-U, and McDonald's 53. Fulton county elect t!m hole L'nion ticket, bnt by what iinjority we sre not advised. In this county we gain a L'nion Representative. It gave McCIellan 112 majority. Putnam rives tbe Union candidates an average majority of 12. Deabom gives an average Democratic majority of a Union gain over the Presidential election, of 104. Bartholomew, 411 Democratic majority. Democratic gain of fi. Cass gives a Democratic majority of 370, a gain to that side, of 1 1 y . The ofrlcinl I'nion majority in Allen county, is 12S, a gain of 2,"lrt. fountain, Democratic majority of 55. I'nion gain 179. Klkhart 500 Union majority, a gain of 247. Whitely elects the Union candidates by 52 majority. Union gain 317. These returns show a verr Jerided increrse of the large Union majority of 14, and prove conclusively that the returned sojdiers have generally voted as they fought on the right side. Tiic Democratic politicians thought thiy conl 1 fo il th-j veterans bv labelling tlieir dilapidated, disgraced and broken down party, the white mans' prty, but the soldiers had heard no good of them when in the field, and could not be deceived as fo its identity by its assumption of a w liite skin. JndiiXm J'ttirnttL : : Fort Wayne Election. The Fort Wayne Sentinel, Copperhead organ, thus mourns over the result in Fort Wayne and Allen county : . TfIB RESULT. We confess to a sense of deep humiliation in being compelled to record the defeat, on yesterday, of the Democratic party in this couuty. We admit that the result is as unexpected as i' is painful to us. We have not the heart to comment on this result. Like all people very unexpectedly unhorsed, we have not much to say just now. When we recover from the shock, we may address ourselves to a consideration of these wounds, and see if some healing remedies cannot be applied. We sympathize with Mr. O'Rourkeand with the noble Denicriits who so faithfully stood by bim and their principles. They are defeated, but neither conquered nor subjugated. The principles which they have advocated will survive all their enemies. The Democracy of Indiana make a tame showing in the county elections. Beaten in some of their strongholds, as at Fort Wayne, and making no effort at all in tbe Republican counties, they came out decidedly small. We have noticed that there was no Demcratic ticket in Indianapolis. The Lafayette Journal says : "The election yesterday was the funniest thing ever witnessc.i in Lafayette. Altogether it was a one-sided matter, the Deuncrat having no ticket in the field. -The Republicans voted until they became tired of tbe fun and then stopped." The Largest Cheese Ever Made. The centre of attraction at the late New York State Fair, was the cheese tent. We quote : As you enter, the first that strikes tbe eye is tbe big cheese ot Canada, manufactured by Smith A Sons, at Norwich, Oxford county, Canada West. It weighs 4,240 pounds, and took the milk of 500 cows for four days for its production. It stands upon the wagon especially arranged tor it, and is in tlie central part of the tunt. It is sixteen feet in circumference, five feet in diameter, and two feet four inches high, and was hauled upon the grounds, yesterday at two o'clock P. M. by ten yoke of oxen, the American and British flags flying from its top. It is the largest cheese that has ever been manufactured. Major General McCIellan is expected shortly to arrive in New York from Europe. Twenty-two whites and thirty-two Chinamen were killed, and thirty-two whites wounded by the explosion of the boilers of the steamer Yo Semite, in California. A fight between white aud colored soldiers took place on Saturday in Washington, in which a soldier of the 107th Colored Infantry was killed. A general fight between the whites aui blacks was at onetime imminent. General Conner surprise ! sonv? Indians under a medicine man, on Tongue river, killing fifty, and capturing all their winter stores. Colonel Cole's command had still bvtler luck, having had a six days fight with Sioux ami Cheyenne Indians, killing and wounding two hundred and capturing much pluo.U-r. Onr toss was not more than fifty killed and wounded, including one officer. A party of Virginia refugee, consisting of Jacob Slick, and family, and his son-in-law, Jacob Peters, and family, in all fifteen persons, in one wagon, were crossing the bridge over Finley's run, on the Michigan road, near Northfield, Boone county, when one of the sills of the bridge gave way, and the wagon and content were overturned into the run. Sink's wife was killed outright, and Slick himself was badly hurt. Peter's wife had her collar bone broken. Five of the children were injured, one very dangerously. The people were Dunkards, and apparently very worthy, but were ia destitute circumstances, and. all sick. The people in tha vicinity took charge of them, furnished them with measy and provisions, and gave Slick's wife a decent funeral. Coloxsl C. D. Mr brat has sold his property in Kokomo, and will locate in Princeton, Illinois. On Monday morning, September 25th, Rev. Thomas Colclaier, a member of the North Indiana Conference, drovs his team into Union City, and at about 11 o'clock took a congestive chill, and at 5 o'clock same day died. His funeral took place Tuesday at the same place. High Pbicks. The indications sre that it will cost as much to lire this winter as last. Apples, potatoes, flouer, meat, groceries snd dry goods all command enormous prices. Cora is about the only thing in our market that Seems cheap, 15 and 30 cents being talked of as tbe price. This cannot be if pork sells for $ 12 per hundred. Tbe poor man with a doxea mouths to stop, aod a doxea little babies to keep warm, will find bis contract a large one. Lafayette Courier. A kmt Worm. Our farmers complain of tbe ravages of the army worm upon the new growing wheat. They report to ws that all tbe fields are more or less stripped, while many fields do not exhibit a stock, tbe worm having literally cut it clean to tbe root. Tba late frosts will have the effect te atop their dedredatioaa. DeKalb Dem.

The Boston Journal says: "Alexakpes H. Sts r hens and ex-Postmaster KliGas, having1 been released oa parole by President Johssos, came up from Fort Warren on Thursday, an I departed for the South. Mr. Stxthkss met a few personal friends in Boston, snd appeared to be in high spirits." They wiil visit Washington on their way home, A Boston correspondent of the Rochester ( X.

There is a secret about it ; but those features will never ba seen again." On the 21st of December, about $20,000,000 of the five per cent, coupons Legal Tender of 1S53, (the remnant of $150,000,000 originally issued) fall due in course ; the other five per cents., about $12,854,230, fall due next spring. Most of the latter will probably be funded. Then come the compound six per cent.
