A railroad is plannedpr om 'Yankton, about 450nailes ; and branch from the Union Pacific, west ot.Nebraska, is begun. „ , Such is the begining of the future State of Lintloln; a State that, if the belief of residents there is only in part realized, will more speedly than in almost any other instance become a State in fact, and pour new energy into ill the contiguous country. The accomplishment of a short time has been signal,' and has prepared tlie way for assent if Congress accepts .and carries out the recommendation of the committee.

The first named pa per says plainly it would rather see a • Democratic Legislature elected next fall, than a Republican Genera) Asaembly that would return Don. Cameron to the United States Sen ate. :Because there.are some things iu the Republican party that don't Snit them, and because they can't have mattersfrecisely as they want them, they would destroy the party if their own notions of party policy can not be made effectual.

Helena, on the very \ summit of . the :Rocky Mountain range, about 7,000 feet above the sea level .\. The -mine, which has made its owner, N. S. Vestal, suddenly rich,' is named the Penobscot. The discovery Shaft is situated at the exact summit of\the .monntains, and ten feet east frora\it the water runs into the Pacific,iind ten feet west it. flows into the Atlantic, This fact is owing to the peculiar II carve the mountains make at - this point. The shaft s ink at the disbov ery is 800 feet sleep arid has yielded, Mr. Vestal abput 7,000, which, has more Wan paid exp nses; and a large body of ore is; ye ,I. left on the dump to be Worked.

About 350 feet farther' cast (stiq on the, west side of the range), the third shaft is - the great bonanza of the district: In 23 days, from• January 20 to Febuary 13, five men sunk a shaft 25 feet in depth, the ore from which was • worked in a • small five-stamp mill and two rims; , ---,„ tins.

The tailings were saved and will_be worked over in the spring, when the Fruevannar concen trator arrives. The width of the solid vein at 25 feet deep is 'l3 feet, and the average value is equal to that which has, been worked. The core, is about 18 inches wide; is much richer, and has been laid aside.

POSTA • SAVINGS BILL. The New Yor. Herald emphatic ally endorses the, 6481 Savings Bank Bill introduced y Mr. Pan, li.s, Of Kansas. The •` ld says: It - is believed by sangne friends that this billwill pass use by a nearly unaminous vo . It kes every money order post office a le pcisitory for money in sums as sinsl •as twenty-live cents, the depositor to receive a passbook, like those given by savings banks. iNirheii the depos its by one person amount to ten dol lars or any multiple of ten dollars he is entitled to receive a bond for that amount to be entered in his passbook as'a debit to offset the same amount of credits. These bonds are to range from ten dollars up to one hundred dollars in even multiples of ten up to fifty. The rate of interest is to be 3 65-100 per cent., that particular rate being fulopted fur convenient of El . 17 calatiotts 4131007- the interest on-4 .ne hundred' dollar'. bond: ill be ei actly one 'mitt pet daY. These bands are to be exchange/Me at the plias ureacthe holder for regular forir pet cent bbruls - of .the .government:; but in this form - the government; is to' take no special_ superintendence of them. But the holders of the 3 64-' 100 bonds and of passbooks in which sums are entered can draw _ money fro& the Post Office very much as depositors do from - Savings banks. , Or course the sums which are - merely entered in the passbooks will bear no interest. A special form of legal tender Treasury notes is to be issued for redeeming the new bonds at the money order post office. If this bill becomes a law it will prove to be the wisest and most salu tary act which Congress has passed in a long period.' It will encourage habits of saving everYwhere and create them in large distOets where savings banks do not exist. The' absolute safety of -the deposits will relieve the laboring classes at all anx iety respecting their money, and the perfect sense of _security will culti vate more the disposition to save. We hope no captious objections:may be made to this useful bill, and that it may be allowed to have a fair trial. Such defects as may be disclosed by experience wiH be easily, remedied." EMOTE() 'ivr.
