INTEREST SEVEN PEE CENT. PEE ANNUM, FliEE OF OOVERMENT TAX, PAY ABLE IN NEW-YORK, MAY AND NOVEMBER. The St. Louis and Southeatern Railway spans the State of Illinois, oommencing at the City of St.Louis and ending at the City of Shaw nee town, on the Ohio river. The entire length when complete, will be 139 miles, Twenty-Seven Miles qf which are ALREADY FINISHED AND IN OPERATION. Work is progressing on other portions of the road, and it is the intention ot the Company to push the enter prise to early completion. This lin£ ol road supplies an uigent need. It pass ée tliiougli a fertile and populous section of (he State hitherto destitute ot railroad facilities. In the pro duction of wheat the disti ict is not excelled by any other in the Union, and the road throughout its en tire length PASSES OVER THE RICHEST COAL BEDS OF ILLINOIS, now being profitably and ex tensively worked at various point's, in view οt the large and increasing consumption ot coal at St. Lonis and in the adjoining region, the prolits upon the transportation ot coal alone will, within the lic it ol three yews, more than pay the interest on the entire bouded debt of the Company. The total is ne ol bouds is limitsd to $2,250,000, equal to about $16,090 per mile, to be issued only as the construc tion and equipment ol the road progresses. They are issued under a mortgage made to P. C. Calhoun, President ot the Fourth National Bank, New York, and (Jeorgo Opdyke, Trustee. It is carelully drawn, and duly recoreed in all the counties through which the road passes. In offering these Convertible Bonds lor sale we beg to reier investors to a pamphlet in our possession, now ready for distribution, containing a comprehen sive exhibit of the enterpiisc and its promising fu ture, signed by the President ot the Company, Gen eral EDWARD P. WINSLOW, and by Brevet Ma jor-General JAMES H. WILSON, United States Army, one of its Directors, and also, to the state ment appended thereto, signed by W. MILNOK ROBERTS, United States Civil Engineer, and one ot the most distinguished railroad constructors of the country. These gentlemen are well known to llic country and their friends for their ability, integ rity end honor. The accuracy ot their statement* may therefore be confidently relied upon. Any one who will carefully study these documents cannot fail to become convince! that this road, when completed will control a large and profitable local business, to say nothing ot its through traffic. It will, theretore, be able to pay, without fail, the inter est on its bonds, and render the stock a very profita ble investment. Gross earnings at the rate ot $3,000 per mile per annum will be ample to pay the inter est on its debt, including the expense of operation and repairs. There is no completed road in the State ot Illinois which is not earning much more than this sum per mile. The Company CONΊΊDENTL Y EXPECT THEIR ROAD TO EARN FROM S Κ V EN TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER MILE from the time of completion. Atter a thorough investigation of the nieiits of this enterprise, we confidently recommend these Bonds to out trit-ndg and the public as a safe and profitable investment.

Indeed, JUr. Bellew becomes so much an actor in this scene that he shifts his place by lateral movement, which is the only movement open to him, so as to represent as well as he can Hamlet's shiltings while he administers the oath. It seems to us that if the figures on the stage can be of any use at all they would be of use here. But there is the curtain, and Mr. Be! lew in front of it, surpassing the celebrated Cerberus, since he is not only three gentle men at once, but also a ghost or devil at tbe same time. "In the third act the Hamlet of the stage does not at first appear. Witli him, to be or not to be is not the question. He exists only at Mr. Bellew's pleasure, and here Mr. Bel lew dispenses both wilh Hamlet and Ophelia. The scene between them, and Ophelia's speech, beginning "Oh what a noble mind is here o'erthrown", are read with the curtain down. It may be that the young lady who personates Ophelia when she lias nothing to say is not equal to looking as if she were say ing something, and perhaps she might have assumed a wooden and unsympathizing as pect, which would have contrasted rather too absurdly with Mr. Bellew's pathetic utterance of her speech. But we should like to know the principle, if there bs a principle, which regulates the movements of these animated puppets. Perhaps the curtain is let down in order to begin setting the next scene, or per haps the King, Hamlet, Polonius, and the rest are wanted to assist in setting it. There was an account lately in an American paper of a celebrated actor who was to play at a western town, and tinding when the curtain drew up that there was nothing behind it, he fetched the scenery and put it up, and then went on and played. This perhaps has been I the model of Mr. Bellew's arrangements at St. Georce's Hall. Some considerable nreDara· ration was doubtless necessary (or the second sceue of the third act, which is performed by tue entire strength of the establishment. We have King, Queen and court, Ophelia, with Hamlet seated at her feet and watching the King with penetrating eye, and even the characters of the play within the pi ay [are per sonated. The breaking up of the court when the conscience stricken monarch can endure the play 110 longer is represented with commendable spirit, and alterwards, when the King is playing and Hamlet hesi tates to kill him, the Hamlet of the stage draws his sword, and nourishes it about as if he really contemplated dissolving partnership with Sir. Bellow, and going into business on his own account. Hut "Co." is soon made to feel his true position. Mr. Uellew does not actually take his sword from him, but he will not allow him to use it to kill Polonius. The curtain is down when Mr. Bellew speaks the words "Dead for a ducat, dead,' and he ac companies them with a prodding motion downwards, as if he confused in his mind the respective hiding-places ol l'olonius and the Ghost, and had forgotten that Hamlet com pares the latter to a mole, but the former to a rat, which is as oil en above ground as under it. The burial ol Ophelia is performed with great-solemnity, and with it the entertain ment terminates. We believe that the play of Hamlet has never before been known to ter minate with this scene, except on a memora ble occasion when it was perfotmed during race-week at Doncastcr.

The η lark fret I «ir.„_Tk.: 7 A correspondent of the Ciucinuau Qazetu apologizes /or Col. Baker's late raid onU.e Indians. The cause of this terrible crime lies at somebody else's door; but the iulbruia tiuu in regard to the Blackfuet Is valuable: Last lall the Ulackfeet Indians gave grea*. trouble to the settlers of Montana, murder ing, robbing, and pillaging ns. These Indians have been at peace with us for a number of years, but lately they have been dissatisfied and evidently inclined I to go to war. In November LSear Chief and his band murdered a runcbuiau named Clark, living on the Benton road, near Bozman City." The sister of this man is the wife of a high official in one of the Western States. She interceded with her husband and the Government to have the Indians punished who murdered lier brother. Λ demand was made lor the guilty Indians, but they were not given up. About the same time new out rages wire committed, and General Hancock, as he learned of them, conferred with Gener als Sheridan and Sherman. Sheridan tele graphed back that nothing could be doue Willi the small force in Montana just then to ward punishing a tribe of Iudians so formida ble as the IJIackféet, but advised General Hancock to watch them, and as soon as the guilty band was in winter quarters and the snow fell, he would endeavor to strike tliem a blow t'uey would not soon furget. According ly, General Sheridan s?nt Colonel Baker to Fort Ellis late last fall, with orders to prepare fo.· a winter campaign. Baker was ready to march by the 5th of January, and soon afterward set out, the thermometer standing at the time below zero, and the snow being in many places three feet deep. The column marched *2.» miles to the North west, ana when about 100 miles Irom Benton came upon the guilty Indians. They were in their camp at the time, living in imagined se curity, and the surprise was complete. The village was surrounded on every side,and all avenues of retreat cut oil. Over two hundred and fifty persons were in the camp, ot whom one hundred and seventy one are reported killed, twenty escaped and the rest captured. It is leared a cood many women and children were killed iu the melee —every body in the camp taking arms and lighting as long as they could. After the bat tle all the captured women and children were released and allowed to go to their tribe. Al though the blow has been a severe one, and ιuireii suuurniy, u nau long ueen premedita ted, and the Blacklëet richly deserved (he punishment tliey have received. The many Indian murders on white men in Montana have been wiped out at last in blood, tbe only »«y mn fndlan can bo m*l« to understand the settlement of an old score. It will be worth while to to consider in conncction with this Hght what will be its effect upon the In dian wais ot the border. Will it end the hos tility ot'the Blackfeet,or lead to a general war with them? This question is anxiously asked by many border men, and the answers are various. The Blacklèet are one of the most powerful, brave, aud warlike tribes of Kocky Mountain Indians. They have long been known to both Indians and white men as the "bloody Blackf'eet," and numerous are the stories told of their prowess aud daring. Their wariiors are of middle stature, broad shouldered, and deep-chested. The nation is divided into four families, each led by a differ ent chief, and to one ol these families tbe band slaughtered by Baker belongs. Mo*t Indians have a fondness for bright colors, but this nation is noted for its partiality for dark clothing. Dark skins, black leggius aud moc casins constitute their dress. It is the black coveriog which they wear on their feet that has given them their name. The nation iu 1800 numbered l;t,0U0 souls, and tliey have not decreased over a fourth from that time to the present. They are still capable of mus tering many hundred warriors, and should they declare war, would give the Government serious trouble to subdue them. It is not be lieved, however, that they will go to war, for their chiefs, from long experience, know how futile it is to fight against a government as strong as the United States. They have many able and shrewd men, and these are all oppos ed to war. Tbe hereditary enemies of the BlaeVfeet are the Crow ludians, who inhabit tbe Big llorn range. The government of the BlaeVfeet is very arbitrary, the chiefs hav ing absolute power. They are very migratory in their character, and generally change their residence tour or five times during the year. When a village is to be removed the chief loosens tlie covering of his lodge, and lets it flap in the wind. As soon as this Is seeu ail the lodges in the village are loosened in like manner, and \vU< n the chief's lodge falls all the others are immediately taken down. Then the squaws bunch the poles on which the 1 jdac covering were stretched, and thev (Vf a vaton with 1'—iif on each side of tlie horse, tue uun tuoi BE ing left to drag on the ground. Behind the horse are fastened several cross pieces, to keep the shall from spreading, aud on these cross pieces are piled and tied the lodge covering and household goods. These curious carriag ps will carrv asionisliino Innfla nn/l oro mnw comfortable to ride on than one would be lieve. The squaws carry great loads on their backs, and even the dogs have little shafts and a load to drag. Five or six hundred Blackleet, forming a curious cavalcade, are frequently seen crossing the country in this way. They always march iu single file, each Indian stepping as near as possible where the Indian preceding him has stepped. An In dian always, when walking, sets one boot di rectly in l'rout of the other, and does not torn out his toes, as does a white man. A Terrifclc S erne—A Train Over η Thirty Feet Embankment. The accident to the Montreal express train Saturday morning, at Putney, Vt., was the most serious that ever occurred on the road. A passenger car, with fourteen passengers, went through the bridge and dropped lorty feet to the water, which was some ten feet deep, and filled with floating ice. The engine passed the bridge and jumped from the track down an embankment, the tender and bag gage car going oil'on the other side, where they took fire, and with the baggage were de stroyed. Eye witnesses describe the scene as fearful, and the escape of the passengers as almost miraculous. The car was almost sub merged, only the roof being visible, and to the lact of the roof being torn off at one end, most of the passengers owe their escape, though some got out through the wihdows. A Frenchman and his wife, with a child, a few months old were among the passengers. At the time ol the accident the mother was holding tiie little fellow wrapped in shawls and pinned np into a bundle, in her arms, but during the frightful fall lost her hold of it. As the water rushed into the car the child floated out and was rescued unhatmed by the engineer. All of the passengers escaped, and none sustained very serious injuries or broken bones, although one or two were badly bruis ed anil cut by the broken glass. Several had their clothing almost entirely stripped off, and all lost, such valuables, watehes, etc., as they had on their persons. The baggage and smoking cars, with all the baggage, were en tirely burned up. A Philadelphia Vessel tiie Oldest Aloat.—The Truelove is the name of tbe name of the oldest vessel now afloat. She was built in Philadelphia in 17(J4, and is con sequently IOC years old. The vessel was built originally for the merchant trade, but during the Revolution was used as a privateer. She was captured by a British war vessel in 1780, and was purchased from the British govern ment by parties iu llull, England, from which port she now hails. She was employed iu the w_ine trade between Oporto and Hull until 1784, when she was employed in whaling. As a whaler she has been exposed to many vicisi tudes. The Truelove iu 1830, formed part of a Meet in Melville Bay, when twenty strong vessels were almost lost and twelve others other were seriously injured by the ice. This vessel, ou account of her peculiar build, was able to stand the ice much better lhan some other and larger ones. When exposed to a heavy squeeze between large masses of ice she would be raised to the surface, where she would remain until the pressure was relieved, when she would again sink into the water. On one occasion this vessel lay on the ice i η this manner for six weeks in Melville Bay. The Truelove has made eighty voyages to (ireen 1 uni and Davis' Strait. During all the time that she has been engaged as a whaler, she lias carried oil from some three or four hund red whalers, and besides this has been laden with seals and other Arctic products. Since 1807, she has been employed iu carrying ice from Norway to the English market. She is said to be as good as condition now as ever, and is still hard at work. A kind lady in Lcwiston had a rare pleasure the othet day. Finding by chance a girl of fifleeu years, a cripple from birth, who had never seen any portion of the city, ex cept the little visible from the window of her humble home, she took her iu her sleigh and gave her an hours ride. It was the poor girl's first introduction to the world, and everything was new and strange. The Falls excited her enthusiastic admiration, and the crowds of sleighs and people on the streets seeiney to her like a fairy creation. The Providence I'res.i says that a gen tleman of that city took his five-year old son to church for the first time a lew weeks ago· When the clergyman said, "Let us pray, the precious youngster, In a high-keyed voice, electrified the congregation with the exclama tion, Let her rip!'' -A Cl.icaao morning PePer chronicles» ι· ι iu.„ uT wav Aurora Turner Hall, on the corner of Second street and Milwaukee avenue ran a risk last evening of gliding irom the present into the past, through tbe chemi cal action of excessive caloric."

Letter from Waekii|le·. Washington D. C., Feb. 24tb, 1870. To the Mttor ef He Prft, LOG AW* I, AWT Π AID. The past week hae been an exciting one in tbe House and an amusing one in the Senate. The sale of cadetsbip has been the S3nsation of tbe period—rather the being fonnd out is. I do not doubt that tbe general verdict is else where as here, that Mr. Whittemore deserved lo be turned out, if only for doing ""the job so clumsily and beiDg caught so easily. I need uat undertake to describe tbe history of the affair, and shall only say tbat there is being expenaea a good deal or virtuous zeal by per sons who are not what Crasar's wife or Amer ican congressmen should be—"above suspic ion", and their enegy in denouncing 'Whltte more is at least suspicious. The South Caro lina repiesentative'sfail has been broken con siderably by the almost brutal manner in which Gen. Logan has managed the case beiore the House. On the lacts there could be no doubt of the result, and lor that very reason there should bave been a fair and lenient manage ment oi details, beiore the voie was taken.— instead ot that tien. Login acted, lot »s if he bad 3 sad but necessary duty to penorm, al together unconnected with personal or parti zan reasons and motives, but as if the fact of some mporlant measure was dependant up on.the tise of every parlismeniaty advantage bis position gave. On Monday he ailemp.ed to iorce the ««solution of expulsion through under the previous whip and spur. In no way did be indicate a desiie that tbe accused member should have a cbance to be beatd on the floor, to oH'er any deience or palliation of bis act. He was shamed at last out of 'hat posilion, but both yesteiday and to-day ex hibited the same spirit—so apparently vindic tive and bitter was his manner towards Mr. Wbittrinore, that a st'anger might weil ask, as 1 braid some Uo, if Logan was personally I hostile to Wbitlemore. There was no such feeling, hut undoubtedly the Geneial, who is a shrewd politician, conceived the idea that two things were 10 be gained by tbe example ne so Laishly piessed: First, a good cry lor the paity— that oi puiity; second, the stop ping of ihe inuendoes and suspicions now so prevalent against members oi both Houses, fhe speaker leaned strongly to Locan—at least his rulings were all in the General's fa vcr. Some seemed to me very hardly strain ed. I do not hesitate to say that if I had been a inembfr, my vote would have cast for expulsion, but all the more would I have voted for reasonable delay and giving of every opportunity to defence—the exact reverse of wbich Gen. Logan seemed to have striven to do. personally, Air. VVhittemore is probably ibe best memoer sent Irom Ibe South. 0» the il legality of bis act there can be no doubt, but of the criminality ot either motives or results there are. Mr. Whittemore bad a right to give utterance to any extenuating circum stance he could bave uttered. It is expected that Butler of Tennessee will come next. He makes no sect et ot his ac tion, audit is quite evident regards it as not very dishonorable. Deweese of North C'aroli na is on the docket. Keport Is busy with the names ol two members ot the Military Com mittee itselt, Col. Asper ol Missouri, and Mr. Hoge of South Carolina.

As sucb be is tbreme Judicial Court of Maiue for directions as to whic'a class ci stockholders the 8180.000 paid by die Eastern, and Bost in and Maiee railroads belonged.

Oth ers, who bad purchased tbeir shares since the whole or parts of the dividend were paid in currency, claimed that the $180,000 belonged to the corporation, and was incident to the shares, and of course belonged to tbe present holders of tbe stock.

THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REINVESTMENT is while the Treasury ts buying, and Governments are at a premium. THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A WILDERNESS, where it would have to wait years lor population and bui-intsj, but through the most thickly settled and product ive agricultural counties in the Slate, which gives eich section a lar e traffic as soon a? com pleted. It runs through the great coal fields o! Southeru Iowa to the North where coal is in dispensable and must be carried. It runs ffom the 2re.1t lumber legions ol th6 North, through a district of count-y which is destitute of this prime necessity. The mortgago is made to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., of N. ST., aud bonds can be is sued only at the rated §16,000 per mile, or on ly half the amount upon souie other roads. Special security is provided lor the principal and for the payment of interest. The New York Tribune says "this is a splen did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal aid." The New York Independent says, "We know the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the great and good works of the age. Its Direc tors include many of our leading bank pre i deut9 and other gentlemen ot high character, who have means enough to build two or tbree such roads out of their own pockets, so that all its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man aged.
