THE RAILROAD.

recent number Of the Peru Telegraph con-
,ains a lengthy article on the Rock Island ana
Lasalle Railroad, the good and bad features OF
which arc in about equalrclief, giving OF rash-
er harmless effect; still we like to see our CO.
temporary say anything, 80 that he s'keeps 4 oe-
fore the peoples. that such work is in progress.
His qualification Of the good people 81 Lasalie
in no, taxing greater intercs, in the subject, Is
based upon the very good pies, that it's absorbed
in the extension OF the eastern Railroad from
Aurora TO Peru. When he finds that our able
engineer Mr.. Morgan, is engaged upon that very
rorte q, tho expense Of the citizens OF this place.
he will perceive tina, the people at this terminus
are convinced Of the importance Of the extension
OF the Road beyond Peru. We like much the
recommendation at the close OF his article, 70
proceed together in harmony, and hope that no
other feeling will actua,e any one along the
contemplated route, more especially those whom
it 10 generally admitted are the chief agents IN
building Rairoads-,he conductors Of the press.
There is considerable truth in the following ex-
tract from the article under consideration
With satisfaction shall we witness ourneighbors'
redemption Of their pledge, to see the Aurora
and Peru Road through:
.Wc remember that ii has been admitted by
many that this road should be bull, TO render the
Rock Island road available, and we were called
upon TO pledge that We would see this through,
as well a. 10 do our part on the Rock Island
road-so that oubie burden was thrown upon
US. n those west Of US then have done more
towards the fur herance OF their darling scheme
than we have done, still We don't think they
should pride themselves SO much upon u, as our
attention is drawn TO another point, OF greater
nomen, 10 us, and grea, in the prospective
10 them.

Der of the House from Illinois, on the 9th ult.,
in consequence of his remarks in reference to
the conduct of the Mississippi regiment at the

but there was an understanding between the
friends of the parties-Gen. Shields, who acted
for Col. Bissel, and Mr.. Inge, who acted for
Col Davis, that ulterior action should be post
poDed until Col. Bissel had time to write out
and publish his speech. 1t appeared in the

the afternoon. The meeting was to have taken
place on the 28th-weapons, muskets at fifteen
PAGES but by the personal Intervention of Pres
