NOT QUITE ENOUGH.

Il is presumable that majority Of those
are aware that tho Legislature
Of this State passed an Act last winter
authorizing The location Of Road from
Anamosa, in Jones County, BY the way Of
rhorn's Mill and West Walnut Grove, TO
inlersect the old Territorial road 1t the west
end Of Hickory Grove in this county.
This is a road that the interests Of Davcn-
port have for long time imperiousiy de-
manded, from the fact that i, truverses q
populous portion Of the State, almost the
entire trade Of which, Tor distance of.hirtA
miles, has heretofore found its way, though
farther in point Of absolute distance, YET
over better and more direct roads, either
to Dubuque or Mnscatinc. This has been
A matter Of serious regret both 10 those in
,eres;ed in the prospects Of Davenport, and
also to numerous population occupying
tho country be,wc Davenport and Ana
mosa. And hence the importance Of pene.
,ra,ing that part Of the State with direc,
road from Davenport. Bot it will lie evil
dent to every one acquainted with the facts,
that the ohjec, will not be quite attained,
by the location Of road between the points
specified in the act; from the fact that from
The eastern termination Of the anticipated
State Road, there is no direct road to Owen
port.
The citizens Of Scott County should mo-
perm, their neiehbors ofo,her counties, &
oa,-yie them in planning and executing di
rect roads to their hourishng metropolis
The early completion Of the road between
The points specified, and also Of an ex,en-
ton Of i, directly TO Davenport, will ALLOW
The business men Of our town TO compete
successfully with thase Of Mascatine, aud
Dubuque, for large amount Of trade in
which they have heretofore hardly At al par
icipa,ed. A. b.

BRIDGING Tue MISSISSIPPI.

Our contemporaries are talking seriously
Of bridging the great Father Of Waters
seriously, although millions Of dollars are
,poken Of As necessary to effect that object.
The Keokuk Dispnsch speaks soberly Of
the idea Of bridging the river At that place.
A solid bridge with stone piers. ], is essim
aled, could be erected for $2,OO0, O0O.-
The interest upon this sum at the very low
rate Of 10 per CT. would DO $200,OO0 per
annum. The same sam expended judicious-
|Iy in plank roads would make keokuk the
emporium Of tho West.
We would as soon think ofdispu.ing with
our contemporaries in regard to the speed
with which We shall one day, according 10
modern progressives, navigate tho air IN
balloons, as to run tilt with them in re-
gard TO bridging the Mississippi. Tbs,
|dsideratum never will be accomplished
without sn examination Of the different
points to ascertain where il can DO done
most feasibly. In virtue Of which exam'n-
alton, no doubt can exist even 10 the minds
of our cotempor aries, but that Rock Island
will present claims that can in no respect
be approached by any other point on the
Mississippi.
Last winter the people Of Dubuque, 10
the heat OF their Railroad excitement, be-
came as thoughtless in the expression OF
their opinions as our contemporary in keo-
kuk at The present time, and actually utter
ed words based upon Is sandy foundation.
10 prove to them at once aud Cor oil time
10 come that however favorably the river Al
Dubuque might be bridged, il could be
done at less expense At this point, Col.
Morgan--who, whatever other faults he
may possess, il must be admitted is super
ior practical Survey or-then in the employ
Of tho Rock Island and Lasalle Railroad
Company, was authorized TO survey the
Mississippi al Rock Island and al Dubuque
and ascertain the expense Of > bridge at the
respective points based upon the same gen.
ersl estimate. He reported the expense Of
bridging the Mississippi at Dubuque to be
S6O3, 900 and at this point to be S237,
900.
Friend Dispatch il you think bridge
can be built for less at Keokuk than at
Davenport, OF al Dubuque, send up Col.
Curtiss to make the survey and we will a.
b,de his decision.

RoAD MEETING.-At the meeting Of the
citizens Of this place held on last Friday
evening, proposition was submitted By
Messrs. Burrows g. Pre,iyman that they
would subscribe $500 towards improving
the Roads leading into Davenport, provided
Z further sum Of $1,000 were raised by the
citizens. The proposition is one Of grea,
libcrality and reflects credit upon the pro-
posers. We hope no difficulty will be en-
eountered in raising The required amount.
The interests Of our citizens should prompt
them 10 give largely. A committee was
appointed to circulate the subscription pa
per, which will be done; bu, should any be
omitted, BY calling upon the editor they
can subscribe and thus have the satsfac-
tion Of knowing that they are not thriving
upon the liberaliiy of their fellow citizens.
