STEAM Boar The steam canal boat whose
approach has been heralded for several weeks, Fl.
nally made her appearance at our wharf on Sun,
day evening. She halls from Wheeling, we un,
ders,and, andis called the "Chicf Engineer" She
claims to be able, in still water. to move at the
rate Of miles m hour although she was unable
to average half that speed against the current o.
the Illinois. She moved of here n, the rate o.
probably five miles nm hour, and tho swells were
not as large, we think, or ms likely to injurc the
banks, as those raised by the packets when NOV

Fox River Valley RAN Road

We are reJoiced tina, the people Of Ottawa have
at last opened their eyes TO their own interests suf
hcieniy to unite with the citizens OF Peru and some
Of the towns on Fox River in making a survey Of a
Rail Road to connect the Chicago and Galena with
the Rock Island and La Sale Rail Road The funds
for making the preliminary survey have been rlrsady
subscribed, and the survey is now progressing. 1t
has for some time seemed a mystery 10 US that thus
road is not taken hold gilmore earnestly when routes
of TO, half the importance the east supper, their
Railroads at handsome profit, although their cost
per mile was double what the cost OF this road would
be. We have seen some shrewd hends figure in re-
ference TO this road and believe it can be demonstra
ted ,hatit will yield annual profit OF over IS per
cent. on the cos, of construction, estimating Its
length at 10 miles and cost q; $4,000 per mile. 1t
is believed tina, at presen, 200 persons pass daily
on the route between Chicago and ST, Louis, and
from the natural increase of the travel on this route
il is safe TO estimate tina, by the time the road can
be constructed the travel will be increased so tina,
800 would daily take the Railroad. $50 on each
and this is not high ra,c-would pay one per
cent. alone every ten days, TO soy nothing Of freight
and leave large margin for supern,endence and
repairs.

ing opened Considering the small amount requr-
cd 10 onsruct itin comparison with the cost Of
tern roads, capitalists mus, seek this stock, and with
out being prophe, or the son ola prophet, we ven
,urc to predict that this rich and beautiful valley Of
the Illinois and Fox will be regularly traversed by
the Iron Horse in less than tour year. from this Goth

The New Adminissration..ltsP Policy, ~ {.
The papers are rife with rumors in reference
to the new administration; and although they all
appear TO come from the same fountain head
still scarcely two appear to agree. 1t seems,
however, agreed. tha, Mr.. Fillmore is Clay
vhg, and hence it is inferred that his line Of pol
icy Will IN the main conform with the views OF
that long tried whis leader 1t seems also to be
well agreed that there ia TO be an entire change
OF he csbinet-saving only Collamer, the Post
Master General But whether Fillmore's entire
want of confidence in the present cabinet arises
from their connection with the Galphin swindle,
as Is estimated BY some, or whether he only dis
likes their political afintes, is not clear At
all events, his determination 10 make q change ut
once, instead Of waiting until the adjournment Of
congress, when there would be breathing spell
is Indicative of his utter dislike Of the present ex,
ecutive advisers.
The slavery question, which it was so conf
deutIy believed would be settled 10y the final a.
doption Of the famous Omnibus bill, seems again
to be all in confusion and dozen of,plans, differ,

Assistant MaTshals.. IN Outrage,

The Hon. Ben Bond, United States Marshal for
the state Of Illinois, has just announced his APP.
pontments Of assistant marshal4 to take the cen.
sus in the various counties in this state, from n
list of whom, published in the Chicago Journal,
We copy the appointments for the counties in this
region:
Bureau and Hsnry--H. S Mckinney
Lee and Dchdib-Jos Crawford
NcLeury and Boone--S. a. Hurlbut.
IVoodtord-R Russell.
DupGge-Jas. c. Hatch.
Cook-J n Barker.
IPW-H n Marsh.
Grundy and RcndaA--DanL G. johnson.
La SaLle-W. A. Baldwin.
II Mr. Bond has succeeded no better in giving
satisfaction IN other counties than he has here he
had better at once resign his Office, and leave the
state. The people of this county feel outraged a,
the appointment of Mr. Baldvin,-not that they
dislike the man, for they know nothing about him
but because he is not resident in the county
and because several names had been presented
to Mr. Bond from the county, from which it is be
leved better selection could have been made
Mr. Baldwin is n resident Of Chicago, aud ha
been. we are advised, for the last or 8 years ]
is not only an outrage on our people to send ;
stranger among us, when we have a, least as goo,
men as we want at home, but the importation i
contrary to law The law under which these ap
pontments are made, after directing the marsha
to cut up the state into subdivisions, provides
Census law, sec. ~
THAT each marshal shall appoint an assstan
for each such subdivision, WHO is A RESI-
DENT THEREIN, to whom he shall give com
mission" DC.
Thus the appointment of Mr. Baldwin is clear
ly Illegal and the people Of this county cannot b.
obliged as we know many are determined not t
answer his questions il lie comes amongus. VI
advise Mr.. Bond to revise his list so far as LaSal
is concerned for his present assistant will unqres
tonably get into trouble here.
