DuBuouE AND BURLINGTON two -four.
ishing cities upon our eastern border are up and
doing in the great work of Internal Improve
ments. Burlington is tax ing stock largely in
the railroad leading from that place to Peoria in
Illinois, while Dubuque is pushing on to COM
pleton the several importan, rail roads sermina-
ting at that point. The real manifested by
their ensefprising citizens, is well worth the en-
ua,ion of the entire people Of the interior Of the
State. Let rail road once touch the Missssip-
pi, thus connecting the trade Of Iowa, with the
northern and eastern market, and that poin, will
be the poin, of Iowa. A few years more of age
and our beautiful State will DO celebrated, for
her hundreds Of miles Of railroad and the city
that first secures her vast and almos. inestima-
bic trade by means Of the above facility for car
