Plank Roads.

Since the passage Of the act, two years since,
providing for the organization Of companies under
general law for the construction Of plank roads,
very large amount OF capital has been invested in
that kind Of enterprise in different sections OF the
State, and already many quite lengthy routes are
completed, while others are in the course of build.
ing. So far as our own knowledge on the subject
extends, they have been without exception success
full and generally are paying larger dividends to the
stockholders than ordinary inve stments; while the
benefit which they have conferred on villages and
cities at which they converge, is very sensby felt
and acknowledged.
To the fact Of their utility and benefit our own city
can bear testimony in the increase of travel on the
old Cherry Valley road since it has been planked.-
The number Of teams which one meets on that road
now, on any fair day, almost incredible and the
want OF a double track is seriously felt. We trust
that the other routes in contemplation to be built,
leading from the city, will receive the most liberal
announcement from our capitalists and business
men, both on account of their certainty to afford
good dividends, and the increase they are calcula
ted to give to the business Of the place.
In few years scarcely county will be found IN
the state that has not its plank roads, and if what
mas already been realized can be taken as criteri-
on for the future, they will every where be found
sources OF profit and convenience,

The Keosauoua Circular.

The following is the Circular from Keosauqua, al
luded to in another article. shows that the peo-
pie in the southeast part Of the Sate are fully
wake to their true interests. We hope that the full
and hearty response to this call the part Of the
citizens of burlington may be satisfactory.
DEAR SlK:-The undersigned Committee, appoin.
ted by meeting at keoSauqua, Iowa, on the 1Ath
inst, to correspond, (and lay said correspondence
before an adjourned meeting, to be held in Keosau-
qua, the Ist Monday in February next,) with the
citizens Of Centrevillc Bloomfield, Mount Pleasant
and Burlington, Iowa and Knoxville, Peoria and
Chicago, and the intervening towns in Illinois, up-
on the practicabiluy of asking Congress for dona-
ton of Land, for the purpose of constructing Rail
Road from Burlington, via Mount Pleasant, Keo-
sauqua, Bloomfield and Ccntreyille, on the Mormon
Trail to Council Bluffs respectfully state to you the
following facts
The said, contemplated Rail Road, will be the
continuation Of a road that WILL in short time
connect Burlington and Chicago, via the towns in
Illinois above mentioned, and is, will appear to
any one who will examine the map Of the country
through which it will pass, the most practicable
and natural route that has can be suggested for
the great Branch Rail Road that win unite it'll the
Missouri Branch of the Great Pacific Rail Road.
The route proposed, is the only route distinctly
marked out by nature; and the large amount of un-
sold Lands. commencing five miles west Of this
place. together with the unparalleled excellcney Of
the Land, over which it WILL pass, warrant US in
saying that grant of each alternate Section of Land
on this route, viii be one hundred per cent more
valuable than on any other route north of it.
We wish it distinctly understood that it is not
our aim TO throw a single obstacle in the way Of
any other grant that is, may be asked for any
other route; there is public land enough for all.
We, therefore, ask sir, that yen will give us your
views; and, as far as you can. the views of your
neghhcrs, in reference to this matter-and send TO
us, by the 1st Monday IN February, list of names
to attach to Petitions asking Congress to donate
each alternate section of unsold Lands the pro-
noseo -oate, to aid us in the construction Of said
Road.
Your ear,ies, aud most prompt attention is res
pectfully called to L.. Important your
attendance at out meeting. On the Isl Monday In
February, is earnestly soll> tied.
Most respectfully,
Your very ob't servaats. -

Plank Road Divide nd.

The Milan Tribune states that the Dr.
rectors of the Milan and Richland Plank
Road Company, have declared dividend
of 20 per cent, [$l2,5O on each share.
This is from the earnings of IL miles OF
road for an average period of IA months.
The Tribune says the Road is managed on
fair and liberal principles, and has there
by secured general confidence and friend
ship.
Go ahead with the CleavIand Plank
Roads. They will all pay we'll. and ben
eht both country and city. Plank the
road TO Wooster as soon as possible, and
man and beast who travel it will bless the
plankers. Few roads would pay better,
or add more to prosperity and business.
We understand that the five miles Of
plank roads on three of the great thor
oughlares leading TO the country from
Cleavland, are paying better than even the
Milan and Richland Road. - CereianaHer.
