| Tohe Editor Of the Express:
SIR:-Permit me to call the attention of YOUR
readers to a subject of vital Importance to the ci
tlzens of Dubuque City. In anticipation of the
Kali Road from Chicago to Keokuk, surrounded
by rich mines and choice agricultural district,
and best with as healthy location as is on the
Mississippi, your fellow-citizens cannot but be
proud of their advantages. Yet, there is one
thing lacking to complete you city-that is, a
good and convenient landing for all boats, RATS,
&c. This has attracted the attention of citizens,
legislators, and Travellers there have been speech
es, newspaper publications, and Legislative acts
enough, in my opinion, to have greatly improv
ed both the health of the city and the conven-
| ience of the landing, If conducted in a proper
manner; yet, in the opinion of many, they have
failed to accomplish the desired object Near
| twenty thousand dollars have been squandered;
and how many more do you suppose would be
necessary, used in the same way, to construct
convenient landing'
Three millions of cubic feet of earth and stone
would be sufficient TO raise an cmbankmcnt from
the foot of some of your most business streets to
the river, over sloughs and islands, above high
water mark, of sufficient width for street and
tier of lots on each side, (perhaps 20;) which
embankment could be made for 100 thousand
dollars; which is much less than said twenty
lots could be sold for, when it was known that
the entire front of the city was to undergo the
same process of improvement; and that the earth
excavated for said embankments was to be taken
from the bluff back of the city, so as to give it
grade sufficient to build upon.
The increase of value of the lots where the
earth would be taken from, would be equal to
the present worth Of the Islands, in front of the
city Thus you see, if the proposed plan could
be put in operation, the city would have as hand
some and convenient landing as any town on
the river, and be enlarged and beautiied in front
and rear, and the health of the citizens improved
perhaps.
An association of individuals, worth one hun
dred thousand dollars, could enter into part
nership for the purpose of the above, or similar
object, to pay in to superintendent selected by
them, ten thousand dollars, in such portions as
would pay one-tenth of the labor performed
weekly, and secure the other nine-tenths t. the
contractors by bonds or mortgages real estate
Four months would be sufficient to make one
street;-$200O would make double track plank
road from the bluff to the wharf, to cart the earth
upon. Contracts could be let by the cubic foot,
yard, Or perch, and completed monthly
The plan, if commenced, should be carried
out fully, and the entire front Of the city filled
up, and the wharf well paved to the bluff, graded
sufficiently to build. D' q" }.Ns& 'i ".@

New YORK AND ERIE RAIL RoAD.-This
great work is now completed so far as Emira,
in Chemung county, where there is branch to
Jefferson City, at the south end of Seneca Lake.
A magnificent and very fast boat, the Ben Lo-
der, runs on the Lake to Geneva, where it con-
meets with the Buffalo and Albany Rail Road
We are informed by those who have Travelled
this route, that it is the pleasantest, most expe
ditious, and cheapest route from Buffalo to New
York. The fare is the same by this route thro'
from Buffalo to New York, as it is by the other
line from Buffalo to Albany only-[Badger.

DUBUQUE:
The California Emi.rntio,

The California Emigration.
The spring train of Emigrants to the goldeh
shores of the Pacific, is now fairly under way.
From day to day, for the last two weeks and
more, we have ''bid good bye to one after an
other of our own citizens, and heartily wished
them God speed on their long journey.
Dubuque will be we'll represented in the Cali
fornia Procession of 1850. AS sort of memo-
ramdum, we shall publish the names of those
who have left us, as soon as we shall be able to
get them. About SO have gone from the City
and immediate nei ighborhood; and a larger pro-
portion has gone from the country than from the
town. We estimate the number from the coun
ty at $50.
Most OF these have gone, with the intention
OF returning. Those who owned property, have
not sold it, but in many instances, have mortga- :
ged it, to obtain funds for the trip, hoping to be
able to redeem it from the proceeds of one or
two years labor in the mines, and to have a
sufficient surplus to give them an impetus in
worldly prosperity, when they shall return to
take possession of what they consider their per-
manent home. These expectations are not cx
travagant, and in many instances, we doubt not,
will be realized, and thus in process of time, will
the large drain upon the enterprise and labor of
our State prove to be lasting benefit But ma
ny are destined to disappointment. Numbers
who 60 out with fond hopes of returning in the
enjoyment of rich reward for their temporary
absence from their peaceful homes, will never
again behold the beautiful plains of Iowa. In
stead of treasures from the rich mines of that
distant land they will 60 but to find grave in
its golden soil, or the barren wastes which inter
vene.
The emigration from the northwestern States
will be larger this season than last The Jour
ney will probably be less toilsome, and will be
accomplished earlier, as the season is more pro-
ptious, and the time of starting at least weeks
in advance oflast year The experience of IS49,
will also greatly benefit those who are now on
the way Instead of the slow dragging of OK
teams, most have gone with horses or mules, and
all with much lighter outfits than last year

A Treaty in prospect.


It is rumored at Washington, that treaty
has been concluded by Mr.. Clayton and the Brit
ish minister at Washington, by which Britain re-
linqushes the isle of Tigre to the United States,
and the latter retrocedes the same to Honduras,
the former proprietor. Should such treaty be
ratified, the United States virtually abandons
the position she assumed in the address of her
Representative to the Central American Repub.
lies, and Great Britain will gain all she desired
as these Republics will be left to contend with
her gigantic power, unaided by the protection
which the United States as Nation has led
and difficulty. This treaty further provides that
the United States and Great Britain shall be e.
quals in interest, in the oceanic intercommuni-
cation between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
should they be connected by canal or otherwise,
through central America. This is worse than
abandoning these weak States to the graspng
ambition of foreign nations. What claim have
Great Britain and the United States to the ex-
elusive right of way through Central America?
What ight has any other, or all nations togeth-
er, to force this right of way through an indie
pendent territory? Independent did we say !
The truth is that no nation is now regarded as
independent but such as can defend their rights
by the strong arm and the sword. Great Brit
ain has long since failed to recognise any rights
when there was not strength to defend them.
Should the United States lend its influence to
prejudice the rights or infringe upon the indie
pendence of sister nation, deep wound will
be inflicted upon her honor, her interests and
her Institutions The ratification of this contem-
plated treaty, would be such an infringement up
on the rights and interests of Central America,
as would justify them before the world in resent
ing it by war; and should this outrage upon na-
tional rights be perpetrated, nothing but their
weakness will prevent them from having re-
course to this last expedient of Nations.
