THE FIRE.
For the Express

or the Express
Doct. Holt:-Having seen several statements
with regard to the burning of James T. Good
rich's House, on Saturday the 18th, instant, not
one of which is correct; beg leave, through the
columns of your paper to correct them, as my
partner and myself were the contractors for the
work. The damages have been greatly under
rated; as we are sure they cannot be repaired for
less than Six Hundred dollars. We offered one
of these five hundred dollar estimaters Five hun
bred and fifty dollars to repair the damages, but
he concluded he could do better.
With regard to Mr.. Goodrich s loss, will say
as the misfortune has occurred, we would much
rather the loss were his than ours, for he, wo do
not doubt, would be much better able to stand it
than we, but we are not willing that Mr.. Good
rich should be accredited with our misfortuncs.
The loss was ours: but MIR. Goodrich has very
literally given us Two Hundred dollras, towarda
repairing the damages. Mr.. Amadon, in whose
charge the building was at the time of the fire,
has undertaken the carpenter work again, for
perhaps $50 less than he would have done it but
or the misfortune. The losses stand thus; Am

The Eastern Mail.

We have received the following copy of a let
ter, addressed to the Post Master General, by
our Senotors in Congress, upon the subject of
the detention of the Eastern Mail at Galena.
This subject has often been brought before the
people, through the columns of our paper, and
we rejoice to find it attracting notice at Wash
ington. 1t is a grievance, which the people
of Northern Iowa have long submitted to-, and
which ought TO have been removed long since
There is no excuse whatever, for its longer con-
tinuance.
U. S. SENATE CHAMBER,
WAsHINGTos, D. c., Dec. %, 1949.
SIR: We desire to call your attention, rs we
have, heretofore, frequently done, your immedi-
ate predecessor to the unnecessary delay which
the great northwestern mail, from Chicago, Ill.,,
to the City Of Dubuque, Iowa, meets with, at
Galena, in the former State.
The mail from Chicago, has, for the last few
years, (and certainly does no,o arrive, at Galena
at 3 or P. N.Y. reached Gaena between the
hours Of and P. M. of each day. The Du-
buque mail, which supplies all or nearly all, of
o'clock A. M. of the next day, after its arrival
at that place, when it ought to reach Dubuque
certainly by S or 1-2 o clock P. M. of the same
day, thus saving delay, in its transportation to
Dubuque of fifteen or sixteen hours. The dis
lance from Galena to Dubuque is but Ia miles
The late and present Post Masters of Dubuque
have, as have the people, also, complained Of
this unreasonable detention of their mail matter
We urged the propriety of causing the mail tc
be sent to Dubuque Immediately after their ar
rival at Galena two years since and before the
construction ofthe Railroad from Chicago West
ward. This road is now completed IS or 40
miles towards Galena and covers nearly all the
heretofore bad roads between t he two points,
If the mails (as was the CASEY could be deliver
ed at Galena by or 4 o'clock P. M. before this
Railroad was constructed, is it not reasonable to
say that they should now be expedited say two
hours in their arrival at Gaena and be required
to reach that place by, say 10 NJ, or P. NJ,
and Dubuque by 3 or P. Nj. of the same dav.
Dubuque is already an important and very rap
idly improving young city, at which the most
important U. S. Government Offices, to wit: the
Surveyor Generals and the Land Offices and
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Harbor and Road
improvements Of the Government in the North
West. 1t has a vast extent of country depend
ing upon it for its mail and other facilities
We are very respectfully, sir,
Your obedient Servants,

Railroad meeting at Potosi.

The Potos Republican contains an account of
meeting held by the citizens of that place on
the evening of Dec. 81, for the purpose of con-
sidering the efforts now making to connect the
shores of Lake Michigan with the Mississippi
river, by railroad. w. r. BIDDLEcoME was
chosen chairman, and JAMES GARRIcK secreta-
| ry.
A series of spirited resolutions were drafted
| submitted to the meeting, and passed by an I'M
animous vote. In these resolutions, we observe
the spirit of popular sentiment in the Western
part of the State. They view the project as one
of great magnitude and ncalculable utility
| They "hail as the forcrunner of success, the
many instances made public of the lively inter-
est manifested in Eastern Wisconsin, in promot-
ing the views and exertions of the Board of Dir
ectors oftthe Milwaukee and Waukesha Railroad
Company"
The followingi is the most important resolution:
Resolved, That Potosi, the centre of the lead
trade in Western Wisconsin, the shipping point
of boundless extent of farming country, hourly
increasing in wealth and population; and to which
nature with unvarying finger has pointed as the
Western terminus of the railroad from the Lake,
is awake to the importance of her station, and
can safely assure her friends in Milwaukee, and
elsewhere throughout the State, that whenever
called upon, she will never be found recreant to
her duty.
A committee consisting of Messcrs. VIM.
Hull, VIM. r. Biddlecome and d. A. Mac
kenzie were appointed to confer with the direc-
tors Of the JMiLwaukee and Waukcsha Railroad,
as to their objects and views in relation to the
proposed route, through the country west of
Madison. This committee have authority to
confer with the citizens of Iowa relative to the
extension to point opposite Potosi on the
Mississippi River, of the contemplated Keokuk
and Dubuque Railroad. The meeting adjourned
for four weeks.
