On Monday tbe last spike, a golden
one, driron by a silver hammer, fasten
ed to its placo the rail whichfilledtho
gap in the two parts of the Pacifio
Railroad. The telegraph was so ar
ranged that the strokes ot the hammer
were heard all over the land. In man
titles the fire alarm telegraph wires
Were oonneeted with the main line and
the belle rang simultaneously with tho
tape of the silver hammer. There
were immense processions and great re
joicings in Chicago, St. Louis, New
York, San Francisco and others of tho
huge cities.
This great work, commenced in thecarries
season of the nation's troubles and
poshed forward with wonderful rapidity,
has at length been completed, uniting
the tew oceans, and the commerce of
the old world and the new. It ma
well be the nation's glory—let us bobut
wise that it does not become tfce na
tion's oppressor. A single great line
stretching across the country, it maj
prore a monopoly which shall become
unbearable. The wisest course will bo
for Congress to grant (ha aid necessary
to insure the speedy constractio a of a
Northern Paci60 Route.

Col. Mattson, the agent of tlie St.
Paul and Pacific Railroad Company,
wrote from Gottenberg, under date oJ
April 8, that he was superintending
the embarkation of a colony of 300
Swedes and Norwegians, who intended
coming to Minnesota direct and locat
ing in Sherburne county, in the St.
Francis rirer section, some fifteen miles
east of St. Clond, and tributary to it in
trade. They will engage almost ex
clusirely in stock raising. Col. Matt
son writes that the excitement in regnrd
to emigration to Minnesota, in both
Sweden and Norway, is wonderful, and
constantly on the increase among all
classes the rich and the poor, and es
timates that 200,000 persons will come
to Minnesota from these two countries
alone within the next five years.

The Alexandria Post publishes the
following letter received by a resident
of Douglas county from the Commis
sioner of the General Land Office, un.
der date of March 30th
PhOip Rich, Esq., Leaf Valley, Minn.
Sin.—Referring to your letter of 14th
inst., I have to reply that the Homestead
Law requires actual residence upon as well
as cultivation of the tract embraced in a
homestead entry. Nor is there any dis
crimination or relaxation of the require
ments In avor of single men and absence
therefrom or failure to maintain bona fide
residence upon the land for a perio* exceed
ing six months at any one time, works a
forfeiture of all claim thereto.
Very respectfully,
J. S. WILSON, Commis'r.
The Secretary of the Interior has de
cided that an actual change of resi
dence, or abandonment of land entered
under the homestead law, for more
than six months at any one time, works
a forfeiture thereof to the government.
An abandonment or relinquishment of
a homestead, from any cause, deprives
claimant forever from any and all
rights under the homestead law.
In replying to a chargs in the New
York Evening Pott that "the nation is
living on its capital," and that the rev
enue paid into the treasury is "merely
so much poverty laid up for tho fu
ture," the Tribune says that "the Uni
ted States are increasing in population
at a rate of nearly or quite two millions
per annum," and that if the increase oi
wealth simply keeps pace with the in
crease of population it "cannot fall
short of one thousand millions of dol
lars per annum." To say that the conn
try is growing poor by reason of the
taxation for the support of the govern
ment and paying off the nation's debt,
is folly ant criminally reprehensible.
The evidences of increasing wealth are
visible on all sides—in the growth ot
towns, building of railroads, and the
development of new sections of territory
—and nowhere more-than in the West.

Secretary of the Treasury an-
nounces that he will purchase 5-20
bonds to the amount of $1,000,000 each

Treasurer at New Tork to receive pro
posals therefor. Tbe national debt will
thus be reduced at the rate of 11,000,
000 per week, audjet us hope at even a
greater rate before long. The good re
sults of a Republican administration

FROM HANNIBAL. TO ST. bOVIS.
HAHSUM, Mo., April 26tb, 1809.
EDITOE JOURNAL.—Of the good
looking towns in Missouri,
LA OBAUOB
is deserving of notice. For miles be
fore coming in sight of it our eyes were
delighted with green fields and bloom
ing orchards. One grand old mansion
loomed up from among a forest of dear
old apple trees in blossom, standing
high upon a hill about a half a mile
from the river. It is an elegantly built
brick house, after the old fashion—
with porticoes, and verandahs, and lof
ty pillars, and surrounded by little
village of out houses of all sorts of
make and ahape. Green fields stretch
out far and wide in every direction,
and the apple trees particularly attract
ed the admiration of your correspond
ent and his Minnie and all the little
ones, on account of the white appear
ance they presented from just now be
ing in full blossom. Handsome farms,
or as our captain, Missourian, called
them, plantations, now lay nestled down
along the bank of the river all the way
to La Grange. The city has all the
evidences of age and wealth. Among
the ohmoheb, or rather best looking
chureh edifices, is noticeable that of
the Catholics, built upon a high and
precipitous bluff, with an immense
cross, to tell the passer by that the
Pope reigns, and the mitre and the
gown have devotees in La Grange.—
Minnie said it was a beautiful church.
I pointed to the tell steeple of what I
thought to bo the Congregationalist,
and maliciously for the time being ad
mired that, instead of the wooden cross
so conspicuously posted on the top of
the other sod while we looked, one to
tbe one and the other to the other, both
faded from view and we could see them
no more. So may it not be that dis
cussing creeds we waste our time and
fail of having any.
HAMUBAL,
famous to all Western people from its
connection with tho great railroad, has
broad, ragged streets, dingy old stores,
an indifferent landing, but aightly
presence, a stirring brawny population,
most shabby hotels, and three thousand
inhabitants. We were here along time
shipping and unshipping. The captain
knows everybody and shakes hands
with everybody, and I was glad when
the bell rang and the boat glided out
into the river. I haven't spoken ad
miringly of Hannibal, as yon
There was, some twenty yean ago, a
pretty girl stopping there whom I ad
mired and all that, and she didn't—no
matter what—but this may be the rea
son I don't admire Hannibal. Any how
there is a reason.
CLABKSVILLK,
though a comparatively small place, is
noted among boatmen for being a great
depot for unmanufactured tobacco. The
"weed" grows luxuriantly throughout
the adjacent country. It is pleasantly
located, with tall mountains near by,
and a most noticeable "height," called
Belmont Heights, which frowns down
upon the little villa with a sort of Al
pine splendor.

a vsst store of every conceivable sort of
manufactured thing. Loaded here on

—An exchange describing a recent

"The wedding party consisted of soven

the bride, entered tho eburch by the
middle aisle, the groom and groomsmen
by the side aisle, and meeting them at
tbe altar. This is said to be the latest
and most approved fashion. The brid
al robe, which came from Paris, was
of superb white satin, over which was
an entire dress of magnificent round,
point lace. It had a train four yards
long. The bridesmaids were dressed
to correspond.
