Davbnpobt, September I3SS.

The undersigned Invite all holders of Bills of the Rank of Horence, wbo are desirous of converting them, to present tha same at the I'ank at Florence, or at their Ranking Iloase at Daren port. To the business community with wbleh we have been many years has been wel known that we have been, during tbe past year, retiring thi ourrency as rapidly as it eould be done with a due regard to their Interests, To have done this suddenly, during or since the financial revulsion of last autumn, would bare produced much distress throughout this community, and seriously impeded business operations, as uiilsens would bare been deprived of a aafe ourrency for transacting business, and we should have been obliged to have required payment of many whom we hare assisted in their wants. We have, therefore, permitted a iiaall portion of tkis currency to remain in tbe market, at tbe earnest oticitati of the most Judicious and reliable of our iti tens, who bad tbe welfare of this eomniu-nity at heart, notwithstanding tbe great inconvenience and annoyance we bare experienced, attacked, as we bar been, by the ealuinny of those who have persavetinfrly circulated tbe most atrocious falsehoods in regard to us, to Influence the timid and ignorant for their selftsh purposes. We now feel gratified in hoping that the time bas arrived when this currency may be withdrawn with but comparatively little Ineouveni-enoe to the community. COOK A BA HOBNT.

Wednesday, the 1st of September, 1858, will long be a memorable day to our fel- low-citizens of Washington County.

On that day. the first passenger train ran over .1 a -mr -r AJ the M. M. R. to their county seat.

And Washington is now connected with the Mississippi River by bands of iron. The citizen of Washington can now leave home in the morning, ride to Muscatine or Dav 1 TTT enport 4na ue DacK tne same aay u- ington, xm io ue excursion, a ica' anter day could not have been got np it was a lovelv Deri men of September. At a a quarter past 7 A. M. we left Davenport, a merrv and congenial paity.

Chas. C. Harris, 3d do. John Johns, represented the military on the occasion They were ac companied by their fine brass band under the lead of A. Read.

Among the excursionists we noticed Aldermen Mackin tosh, Cannon, O'Brien, and the Hon. James Thorington also Messrs. Hiram Price, John F. Dillor, Judge Bennett, and other prominent citizens. Rapidly we passed over our beautiful prairies, the good engine Washington gaily decked out with flags, soon had us at Muscatine.

There we found an immense crowd awaiting our ar rival. Several cars loaded to their utmost capacity were ready to hitch on," filled with the fair daughters and citizen of Muscatine. The "Light Guards" of that city, a splendid company, turned out 32 muskets. Their officers were Capt. J.

H. Wallace, 1st Lieut. D. G. McCioud, 2d do.

B. Beach, 3d do O. P. Walters. They made a splendid appearance and drilled admirably.

The portico of the Ogilvie House was crowded with spectators, all cheering and waving their handkerchiefs. There we met our friend Geo. S. Hebb, the Democratic candidate for District Attorney E. II.

Thayer, Esq Theodore S. Parvin, our candidate for Auditor, all in fine spirits and ready for a jolly day. Olf we started again, and soon were at the Iowa River, where three good hearty cheers were given us, and we found the Union Guards of Columbus City, a flourishing town in Louisa county, awaiting the train. This place, Columbus City, it is said, will soon be made the county seat of Louisa. The Union Guards are riflemen, and are neatly uniformed in gray, trimmed with black, and a fatigue cap.

They are a well-drilled, stalwart looking set of with "fiyhV in their eye, and do great credit to Louisa county. Their music was martial mu sic," and they played the tunes that our forefathers used to go to with. The Union Guards numbered 23 men, and were commanded by Wesley W. Gar- ner, a fine spec'men of a soldier, 1st Lieut. W.

S. Robertson, 2d Lieut. G. W. Sim- bocher.

The train moved on, carrying us through a lovely country on every side, well cultivated farms, fine corn fields, and beautiful rollii prairie. As we whizzed past the log cabins end farm houses, bare footed, sun-burnt little Hawkeyes would rush out and gaze curiously at us buxom country girls would wave their handkerchiefs and kiss their hands, and the housewife would stop her work to look at "the first train in the county." The road had been laid very rapidby, at the late of a mile and a half a day, and but three or four days previous a very heavy rain had fallen; still it is in a very pood condition, having settled but little. The M. M. R.

R. made good time in building that road, and deserve much credit. Between Muscatine and Washington, some chap, who was evidently soie at not having got an invitation, or nraJ about something, d'stributed around the cars the foilowing hand-bill, which, with malice aforethought aud iustigated by the devil. he had perpetrated RAILROAD CELEBRATION.

Wa had a vprv nir- olnaa nf ro i freshing lemonade at the Qarters of 0Uf friend Mr. Granendyke. After dinner tha Military Companies went through their evolutions and firing, and did great creau tO tuemselves and Omcers. They were a fine Koldierltr lontino- not aeJ Were a nDC SOiaieriy lOOKing Set. The Davecport Artillery drilled elezantly BtaV.

which was or- and only made one mistake, which was oc casioned through a mental aberration Of the Thifd Lieutenant. He was thinking about a Muscatine beauty with a blue rar- asol, and wishing that he had her to take care of him, and not thinking about milita. rtl tactics, when the CaDtain save the com- mand, "By the left etc. the 3d T- Lieutenant lmmeaiately Sboatcd, "By the v. a mi.

Our celebration to-day commemorates their triumph KUU cJLUiuiis our graiiuuttuou. Hiram Price, in behalf of the R. R. responded Fellow Citizens To say anything new on the subject ot Railroads would be a very dif- ncait matter, juage or most thinsrs in this world by contrast, or comparison thus the twig and sturdy oak of a hundred years tbe stream ana the mighty river.

And, la dies and gentlemen, look back only a few years, and what do you see Brush away the dust from the glass in Time telescope, and what do you discern Toi.ing along a zigzag path, over the Allegheniee, may be seen a solitary individual, his rifle his only companion, except bis horse, and how is be equipped A pack saddle, on which is loa ded a Email sack of salt and a few small bars of iron. The pack saddle of that day was a great institution. It was tbe means, in part by wbicb tbe supplies were transported from tbe Atlantic seaboard to the inhabitants of the Ohio valley. The valley of the Missis siopi had no inhabitants, save the red man But the pack saddle of that day has given place to tbe steam engine of this day. How would tbe pack saddle compare with the no ble engine which stands there, whose food is fire andwliose breath is flame, and which has, about fatigue, brought those thousands to Washington to-day But Railroads do not build themselves.

It requires live men to build Railroads. Dead nab. can swim down stream only live ones can swim up. Dead men cannot and do not build Railroads. I do not mean men wbo have been handed over to the undertaker, but men who are still moving about, yet who for all practical and useful purposes might as well be buried.

But I am most hppy to say that the city and county of Washington have no such men. Ye are live men, ana Decause you are, ana have put forth your energies, mental and physical, you have a Railroad and you deserve it. There are other places and other people who wish for a Railroad as much as you, but Ke tne wagoner no prayea to nercuies without success, thev have not nut their shoulders to their wheel, and consequently ihey have not succeeded, lou have waded nto me muu, hdu iaen noia oi tne wneeis, and with a puli altogether you have a Railroad, and may listen to the snort of the iron horse and enjoy the benefits resulting there from, while your less active and energetic neighbors are enjoying the quietness of a blissful inactivity. "what a man soweth that shall be also reap," is as true in reference to the Railroad as to any other matter. You have come up l.ke men and have sown liberally ot tbe on ly seed which can produce Railroads and now you are commencing to reap.

Men of Washington with my whole heart erality-your success Those who would share in your blessings must emulate your virtues. 2. The Atlantic Telegraph a chain of intelligence an ting the two hemispheres. May it ever bear "triad tilings of great joy" '-Peace on Earth, Goodwill to men." Letin today unite witn the cities of the old world and the new in commemorating the triumph of human genius; Be9ponded to by Hon, J. B.

Ori-nelL of Poweshiek in an able and appropriate manner. Mr. Grinell said, after congratulations for the steam and iron men. it was a problem bow enthusiasm could be awakened after mention of the Atlantic cable. This is tbe day on which civilized lands mingle their congratulations.

Hells send forth their merry peals and tbe widest throated cannon speak, and at night-fall bonfires will illum ine tbe earth to prolong so glorious a day of rejoicing. This linking of the hemispheres wuh the highway of thought and intelligence is an event next in importauce to the discov ery of a world and the invention of a steam engine. The reality is history. Tbe British Queen, on whose domains the sun never sets, bas with us exchanged congratulations. Those mighty agents, the Niagara and Aga memnon, will abide in memory with the May Flower, aud while Niagara thunders and nntil classic Homer and the Beige of Troy rre from history.

The speech, the oration, the sermon, in view of our achieve ment so glorious, is not yet made. Where is the bold renins who would approach itsout- line? The atteaiDt would be like a com- plaint to the Queen of Night, as the mis- "fc88 many stormy aauguiers, ana me King of Day as a sDleudid substitute for tal- Jo C(lndleg Rnd light bouses well grasp the rugged mountain when standing at its Commercial, social and moral results are fl hU but Vipa touched with prophetic fire sh mld venture to indite the results and progress which Heaven waita God in this sreat entemrise and we are yet to see a picture of the venerable Commander ot the when tne came God with hamhie thanks and applications.
