iron bands, and none so lavishly supplied with minerals, and with timber to facilitate the construction of roads throughout her dominions. Itexamined, as carefully as the nature of the case would admit, the various soils, and the many indications of coal abounding in various parts of the country over which this road passes and predict, that in a few years, extensive mines of coal will be opened in various parts of this portion of the Stute. From the indications shown by the different strata of earth, to be noticed where deep cuts have been made, we may safely depend upon the very best of coal, and that near the surface, and in inexhaustible quantities. In years gone by, Pennsylvania supplied almost the entire Union with coal, which with her has been a source of much boasting and profit. England has mines of coal, the boast of the world, and her own support.

Mines that have been wrought for centuries, and which may continue to be for centuries to come mines in which are engaged old men whose fathers before them, were born in these subterraneous abodes, and whose children and grandchildren have ever toiled mid the coal, never once visiting the surface. Missouri has mines, when developed, that will swallow up at one effort, the whole island of Great Britain, and bury, in one dark corner of her spacicus internals, Britain and all her coal, from Elizabeth to Victoria. No man can now see the great future of Missouri no more can he, than could our fathers behold this free, prosperous and mighty nation the moment they set foot on Plymouth Rock. The present H. St.

Jo. Railway is only a portion of the great central Pacific and Atlantic Railway, which will join some point on the Pacific with New York on the Atlantic. Long before we shall have celebrated the 100th anniversary of our national independence, we will see Boston, New Yora, Philadelphia and Baltimore merchants purchasing teas and silks, of Hannibal merchants, which are only 20 days from the dry-houses and looms of Canton and Pekin. Any one with the eye of an auger, can see the utility of an equilibrium with our Antipodes, and in this, we foresee Hannibal and St. Joseph looming on the Western Continent, to balance Pekin and Jeddo on the Eastern.

Leaving this subject, permit us one or two more remarks. We were politely in vited, and hospitably entertained, by Mr, S. Cunningham, a talented and gentlemanly young lawyer of that city, and one also connected with the editorship of the West. He entertained us in the stead of Mr, Jones, principal editor of the same paper whb at that time was in the East procurins the necessary apparatus for publishing daily. Mrs.

Jones, a finely educated ant well informed lady, presiJed, and offeree to us the ever ready and hospitable ham of a Kentuckian. Under the control of such minds, and in the hands of such energetic men, The West can but succeed Long may it live. A thousand thanks to our host and hostess, and as many to the readers of the Messenger, for detaining them so long. J. A.

SUMMERS. Hannibal and St. Joseph Kallread. Its Locality The Country through which it Passes- The Mineral and Agricultural Prospects, Written for the Hannibal Daily Messenger. Mr.

League Sir: I have no doubt but that you have long since been informed of the particulars of the trip to, and imposing reception at, St. Joseph, on the 22d ultimo; notwithstanding this, I hope you will suffer me to insert the following. I would presume that you, and the people through you, had been well and perhaps minutely and closely posted, on what may have been the reporters mind on certain subjects, during said excursion; hence I would not presume to consume your patience and time by repeating to you again this already stale subject. I ask, however the permission to insert a few words in reference to the locality of this Railroad country, its importance, both in a mineral and in an agricul tural point of view, and lastly, a very few words in regard to our own personal reception. In the first place, this road, every one will be ready to admit, must become the great highway from the Pacific to the Atlantic States, and that along this road, and for miles on either side, there will not be one acre of ground but that, in a very few years, will be brought under the most rigid and scientific cultivation, and every means possible employed to secure the greatest amount of produce from any given' amount of land.

Now in order that my figuring may not be termed visionary and extravagant (by those opposed to this city and road), I will submit my calculations to judgment. First, in the State of Missouri are 45,000,000 of square acres; and now, allowing one-twentieth of the State to pass over this road, we find the products of over 2,000,000 of acres, the best in the world, scientifically cultivated, passing through the city of Hannibal, eastward and southward, and through her contemporary city, St. Joseph, westward and southward. We will now suppose three-fourths of this number of acres to produce corn, on an average of 50 bushels per acre, and to command 85 cents per bushel, and we will have for corn alone, SIS, 750, 000. Then taking the remaining one-fourth for wheat and oats, and allowing that the extra amount that can be produced from one over the other, will balance their values, we will have the handsome little sum of $3,750,000, that is at an estimate of 15 bushels per acre and at 50 cents per bushel.

Now in order that I may answer those who may overlook the reserve for other roads and cities, and for home consumption, I will again repeat that these estimates are made upon much less than one-twentieth of the entire amount that may be raised in the State, and at the same time the amount per acre, and price per jrnshel, much below what we already see it, especially in the latter case. Now allowing one-fifth of the lands in the State to lie idle, and valueing the remainder the same as above, and we have grain equal in value to or about 1,250,000,000 bushels of corn, and 135,000,000 bushels of wheat and oats Suppos we distribute this throughout the whole earth, to every human being an equal share, and we will find it sufficient to give to each one one and a half bushels. Or suppose we distribute among the citizens of our own State, and we shall find each person possessed of 1,800 bushels, or a quantum sufficit to insure them, if man lived by bread alone, safety through a famine more than ten times that of Josephs in Egypt. Some may ask, if these estimates be rational, why is it that we are so often scarce of provisions in the west? Why is it that we often have to import provisions from a distance, being minus a quantity suffioent for home consumption? I answer, simply because our farmers are not yet awakeued to their interests, and because they do not put forth th energy requisite to insure a surplus, and by their failures, others, perhaps, more energetic and scientific, are deterred from entering this most useful and independent of vocations. We need, and must have, eventually, scientific fanners; men who understand the nature of soils, their chemical combinations, the particular kind of grass or grain to which they are best adopted.

Particular localities demand certain fruits, and agriculturists must econmize, and bring into cultivation every foot, on chemical principles. The rests and manures demanded by consumed lands, must as well be studied by them, until they can almost entirely control the seasons for their own convenience, by meeting locations according to those seasons, from what may be indicative of a favorable or unfavorable future. There is no State in the Union, whose facilities for wealth and power exceed those of Missouri 5 there is none better situated as to her rivera and other means of navi-j gntion 5 none more easily bound together by CITY OF HANNIBAL. SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 12. JS Job Printer Wanted At this office.

Apply immediately. For the Hannibal Messenger. March oth, 1859. Mr. Editor: In glancing over the St.

Louis Evening News of February 21th, 1S59, 1 was astonished to seethe following libellous article, quoted from your valuable paper: Hannibal, Feb. 17th Death trom Anger. A day or two since, while Mr. H. Haden, of Ralls county, was at work in a cornfield with his brother-in-law, he became angry with him, and said that he would shoot him.

He repaired to the house for his gun, but while on the way, become so overwrought with passion, that he became affected with bleeding at the lungs, and in a few hours was a corpse. Now, Mr. Editor, as both you and the community have been imposed on by some designing person, with the above fabrication of falsehood, which has been set afloat for the purpose of making a false impression. and at the same time casting odium on the dead, for the purpose of extenuating the guilt of that man who has labored so long for the destruction of the happiness of the deceased. In order to set the matter in a clear light, and to counteract any false impression outside of the neighborhood, I feel it to be a duty that I owe to the deceased, to the world and to myself, to furnish you with the following facts: The deceased, II.

Haden, his father-in-law, and hi3 brother-in-law, James Keathley, were all living close together, within half a mile, and it is well known in this neighborhood, and among the connexion, that this brother-in-law, James T. Keathley, for about two years past, has done everything he could in order to make an interruption between the deceased and his wife, and also between deceased and father-in-law. Things went on in this way until the Sth of February, 1859, when James T. Keathley requested one of his cousins to go with him that morning to the house of the deceased; but his cousin, thinking there would be a fuss, declined. Keathley then went to the house of his brother-in-law, and there waited until deceased returned from the lower end of his farm, where he went to feed his stock.

As soon ns he returned to the house, Keathley commenced the anticipated quarrel, taking care to keep at a distance from deceased, trying every means by words to excite and aggravate, and threatening to post his stock if he let them come about his house. Dr. Dunham, who arrived soon after his death, stated that his death was caused by congestion of the brain. I hope you will now give the facts as they are to the public, and that other papers will correct also. You will at once see they were not at work in a cornfield, and that it was not bleeding from the lungs.

It is also false that deceased threatened to shoot Keathley. The widow, who is Keathley 's sister, knows what passed, and will testify to these facts. Respectfully. T. A.

HADEN. We received our information in regard to the above from a gentleman living in Ralls county, and believing it to be true, we published it as an item of news. From Jefleraon City. Jefferson City, March 8. The Faci-fic Railroad bill has been postponed in the House until the adjourned session.
