A few dnys since, however, Leaven worth completed a splendid iron bridge for the locomotive to cross the Missouri, and the Demnerat attacks it as a plan to draw oil' the Nebraska grain trade from St. Louis.

What a great overgrown booby this St. Louis is. There is not a word of truth iu the whole matter. The trouble is just here; St! Louis does not seem to know that the grain trade of Nebraska must be controlled by railroads, not steamboats. In trying to learn this fact St.

Louis hits lost millions of dollars, and put herself a quarter of a century behind Chicago and yet it is not learned. Railways and not rivers, ore now the highways of commerce locomotives, not. steamboats, the groat moving powers of trade. The only city that ltas not yet recognized the fact, now twenty years old, is St. Louis.

It maybe "manifest destiny" tlwt steamboats must give way to railroads," and it may be true that in the order o(' tlio railroad and shippers monopoly the grain trade of Nebraska must be con rolled by railroads, not steamboats," especially if iho fanners of Nebraska can be induced or forced to foot the bills. The grain of Nebraska, as of all other regions, will seek the markets of the world by the cheapest routs, if allowed to do so and unless the railroads will carry grain to St. Louis and Chicago as cheap, or very nearly so, as the steamboats or barges, the railroads ought not to bo fostered at the expense of steamboats. Give the railroads a monopoly of friegbt inevitably, and it will cost half the price of a bushel of grain to tako it to St. Louis or New York from Kansas or Nebraska, and the farmer or producer will immediately bo obliged to stand the loss.

Whatever aseelie niorulhy, or rather immorality, may say, and pains are the incentives and restraints by which Nature keeps her progeny from destruction. No contemptuous title uf ''pig-philosophy" will alter the eternal fact, that misery is the highway of death; while happiness is added life, and the giver uf lilts. 'Hut indignant Puritanism could not. see this truth; ami, with the extravagance of fanaticism, sought to abolish pleasure in general, (letting into power, it put down not only questionable amusements, but all others along with them. And for these repressions, Cromwell, cither as enacting, maintaining or allowing them, was responsible.

The Pastoral Letter of the Prussian Episcopate, just issued by the Hainan Catholic bislmps in conference at Fulda, acknowledges this defeat, though the LUtramontanists refuse to accept it as final. The bishops recite their efforts to prevent the adoption of the new school law, by petitions to both Houses of Parliament, by remonstrances with the Prime Minister, and, finally, by an appeal to His Majesty, the King, to withhold Ids sanction from the law; but notwithstanding all, they havo been compelled to witness "the severance of the common He iltil no! the late oi Unites alter I) out. a.

The stream of emigration which formerly tended to Central Kansas now divides into two portions, of which the largest is toward Southern Kansas.

I do not know of a handsomer jiraiiie country than that which borders along the Indian Territory. The grass. is so luxuriant, the skies so extremely brilliant and the atmosphere so delicious, it seems almost too good to work in, and about as near a paradise, in the settler's enthusiasm as the we can show. Ilailroad enterprise, too, has discovered the value of this section, and three or four lines are now pushing thither. The Missouri.

Kansas and Texas is the chief, having an eastern branch, which starts from Scdalia, and a western one from Junction City, Central Kansas. Both lines converge just at the northern border of the Indian Territory, and thence tho line runs southerly to Texas. The entire counlry along these branches is beautiful in the extreeiu, and grows more lovely as yon enter the Indian Territory.

By steadily preaching the horrors that will ensue from any renewed participation of Democrats in the monagement. of affairs, they have managed to get the mind of the public into a purely suspicious and dcl'eiilive attitude, which makes all demands for change or improvement, or even investigation, wear the apperance of treason, and which, by maintaining and prolonging some of the precautionary measures growing out of the war, threatens to introduce into the very structure of the Government, and into fifty miles over a rolling plain, covered Dll.

In that enormous head in that broad forehead in the concentrated brilliancy of the eye which remains to him in the mouth, wreathed by a smile of benevolence; in his 1'aoe, ruddy with a tuguitie temperament in his form, which is lieretiltnean, in spile of his low stature; in his whole bearing you can see at once the happy mingling of intelligence with force, of high ideas with energetic resolution. Nature believes in division of labor, and variously groups tho vocations of men. Usually, when she creates a man of action she takes away from him the aptitudes of the man of ideas. The latter is food of spiritual investigation, and the former of material labors. The one loves retirement and tho other the world the one peace of mind and the other combat the one great books and the other g'-eat passions.

The southern counties of Kansas tiro very similar to the Indian Territory in fertility and beauty and from the raptiiily of settlement and the eagerness to obtain information about this section, we do not doubt it will be the most attractive portion of Kansas for some time to come. The Missouri River, Fort Scott Gulf railroad starts from Kansas City and penetrates southward into the same country likewise the Leavenworth, Lawrence Galveston railroad, from Kausiu City and Lawrence, and the Topeka and Santa Fe, which reaches to the southwest; corner of the State.

All traverse a fertile country, of uniform excellence and advantages. There seems lo lie but few disadvantages of living' in any portion of Kansas. For good neighbors, a thrilly, enterprising class of progressive farmers, stirring business men, a good climate, superb soil, a'ld well managed government, I think the state is of superior desirability. Settlers must not expect too rose-colored a life. Crops, it is true, are plenty.

It would release the public mind from what we may call the military-spell, and, by clearing the political field of the existing organizations would call into activity once more the old American idea that improvement, and not preservation simply, is the proper work of Government', and that no improvement can bo thorough or enduring on which the people have not had their say, ami have not taken an untrammelled part cither supporting or opposing. "This leads us to the second, reason, which is, that as Greeley's election is only possible by a combiiniticn of Republicans and Democrats, it would operate as a veritable burying of the issues of war, and the release of the Democratic party from the old pro-slavery traditions, or in other words, its extinction as a political orgatlizatiun, ami would bring tho South back again into cordial political relations with the North; which, every one must see, is a condition of all real national progress. It would put an end to tho sectional divisions which have for the last thirty years been the curse of American polities, and would make it possible for Massachusetts and South Oar. I.na to act together once more on national questions. We have been so long accustomed to look on harmony of this sort as necessarily the result of some base compliance or sacrifice of principle on one side or the other, that it is dioicuk to get men to think of it as under any circumstance a blessing: and yet a blessing it would be.
