THE Rock ISLAND RAILRoAD.-The work upon

Of Joliet (who may justly be called the father OF
this great measured we understand, has already
completed most cfthc grading upon his contract,
which embraces about thirty miles and we no.
ticc in the Joliet Signal that 1.-TWO hundred tons
Of iron has been received by the canal" at that
place, for his part of the road. The contracts
have also been let as far west as this place, aud
MS soon as the company can determine upon the
location Of the depot here, the balance of the
road, westward TO Peru, will be put under con,
tract. 1t is the design of the company, we be.
lieye, TO have the cars running between Peru aud
the Indiana line, by the time the canal closes next
fall; this will give us an outlet from that time
forward, for all our pork beef corn, wheat, DC;
and'our farmers will receive just so much more
for their produce as it now costs to store it here
during the winter Not tihing sum by any
means.
