And this "haliU" is so well fated to the revolutionary party that it will not come ofT at the bidding or advioe ot the more sagacious members of the Radical orgaaiiation, but will await a thorough stripping at (he hands of an indignaut and outraged people at the fall elections. Amid a be wildering mans of 'dashes, parentlivnes, quotation marks and general nonsense, the Patriot takes us to uik for something or other which we 8.i id about a larceny rase, and pretends lo quote Iroui our article as follows: "It i e.MiUMiijrtiUelii any Journal to draw iuli iulVrvirs ami i- only worthy the t.i iHhl ivt.r.1) of b.wrtMtiru tuorV.ay I.EAKKk, iiivU ve aM.

We still firmly contend that it is con-teuipiible in any journal to draw certain mtrrnets, aud that it ia a still greater offense against decency It, draw surli "inferiors" after us as we appear to have done in the present ease. While we are tuo modest to expect an very general quotations from tlieLcADEB, hatevcr is quoted we have a right to doinaud shall be correctly quoted.

It was Byron who ia his Euglah Dards and Scotch Reviewers, said of some nin compoop, that he had enough ot lemming to mlwniote." And with this we 'leave the Patriot to Iraw another inference. Itallroad Excursion lo Spring- una. From th JcflVrton City Tnbaua. i 7 We have been on the Railroad excursion to Springfield, and the question is how shall we describe ilf Others have anticipated us in giving the amusing incident of the trip, in telling who were there; in describing the luxurious lunches given by the directors, in recording the speeshes of magnates, railroad and political, and In portraying the general features of the country. Rather than tell a twice told tale, we shall make but brief reference to these matters, and shall only say that we believe it to be die plcasantest railroad excursion ever eiven in the West.

It bonfire, pro cessions, salutes of artillery, songs of flee clubs, pleasant conversations, and welcoming speeches, will Ion? live in tins memory of every Having said this, we pass on to notice hat the South Pacific hn done, and hat are the effects of its labors. lu November, 1868, the present company commence work at Arlington on the Gasconade, eighty-nine miles from the junction oi the South Pacific with the Missouri Pacific, lit country destitute of supples. Over 600 tous of jisy ptircLasod in I-onis, wets hauled tter- tlit stiiljfl and Ihroae-h the mad, feed this trams at work between. Arlington IbrfBOfl. Over 12,000 men were lent out on The work, by agents in Eastern cities.

The piles on which stands were rowing near Little Tiney on n(: lehruary last, sad in twenty-one nay afterward the depot was receiving freichl. dMibt whether Uiia has ever hern equaled in the history of railroads We have etaltd thrse facts in 'detail for the purpose of giving honor to whom nonor la thiel for the purpose of showiu mil the Slut of iiwoiiri and the linked Suto have had foil value received for iheir leriiilntion in behalf of the wad, and have firii elate road, Jittering la every respect from the miserable make- bill built westward Iron Oman a We aeil eoute to eooeider-what it hae done ia developing tht re too reel of the country.

Between Arlington ana Springfield, it hae started thieteen aew towns aioce last November. At Richland wa then not' a singlo houn and only one inhabitant, who, living in a teat, sold hi goods out of wagon1. There are now there six storei thai wilL if they continue a they are now sell from 130,000 to 150,000 worth of goods eacn, ini year. At Lebanon, in the near town, are forty-two stores on one ona of which ha averaged 11,000 sale per day sinee last November At Springfield a new town haa bee a established, about a mile from the old town. It i laid off on both side of the road, with public squares and wide streets.

Out from the freight depot, already relerred to, runs a mercantile switch on which are nuw four large store houses, nearly completed, and to which five others will toon be added. Here, too, it a hotel with all modern improve ments, built by the company, eonlaimnr over eignty rooms. Situated a it is. on the summit ot the Ozarks.with a view, in one direction, of tea miles, and in another of thirty, in a conntry celebrated for it pleasant drives, romantic scenery, crystal streams and wondrous caves. we predict that this will be one of the most popular summer resorts of the West.

Hid t-prineheld need not fear for its laurels. Hitherto it has been so confident of its strength that it has laid dormant, waiting for good hick to to drop into its lap. This new town is causing it to exert its energies. It is building a new hotel ata cost offOO.000; a new market house is also to be erected. Over 2,500,000 of brick will be put into buddings there during the present summer, and before five years elapse the space will be built up between the wo towns, Inch together, will then make a city of 20,000 inhabitants.

Must of all, the road has benefited the farmer and miner. A Gov. Mc- Clurg well remarked, in old times, before railroads, it took four cow to pay a two mill tax on itaow taUs only two cow to pay a five milll tax on the same amount. On our own acr count we will add that the increase in the value of stock is to be attributed to railroads, (bat the increase in taxation is to be attributed to the Radical 'party. I lie miners will receive still more benefits.

Under the influence of cheap transportation, Granby, which now turns out (200,000 worth of lead per annum, from a single section, will double its yield, and there are, according to Prof. Swallow, in Southwest Missouri 4000 square miles which have equal indications of being valuable lead lands. 1 In eighteen months the company has done twice as much as was done by previous companies in sixteen year; bas built Hi mile of first class road; it baa triumphed over obstacles which appalled ordinary engineers; it haa not only fulfilled but anticipated ita engagements. Due at Springffold in December, 1871, it went ten miles beyond it ii iiay, 1670. It has proved itself worthy of our confidence, and we ask our Representatives, both in State and National Legislatures, to give it that consideration which its merit rosily demand.

We have also alluded to the resources of this inaguiticeni empire of Southwest Missouri. Rich in agricultural, mineral aud manufacturing resources, wa need railroad connection with it. JTber are iron mines," rivalling in extent and quality those of Lake Superior "or Pilot Knob; pina forests' equalling thoae af Wisconsin or -Michigan water power not inferior to that of New' England, and lead miue excelling those of Galena and Dubuque. Ate not all these sufficient lo induce us to baUd a road to Lebanon The negroos in Baliiniore ride ia separata stre ears.
