would be as accessible as one leading TO
Keokuk. The same may be said Of so much OF
the trade Of Van Buren, county as would not seek
an outlet by the Desmoines river; and a road to
Darlington would at once draw to it the business
of the large and rapidly growing portion OF the
State lying on the Iowa river, that would never
find its way to market by road to keoknk'
Take tier of counties lying west OF burning
ton through which the road would run ana whlch
would be tributary to it, and compare them WIN
the country that would be tributary to a he'kuk
road. and the advantages of Burlington are at
once made manifest A road to this point from
tho inferior would at once draw TO it the rapidly
increasing business and trade of the counties ly-
mo both on the north and the south OF it, A road
TO Keokuk while it would find formidable rival
in the Desmoines River Improvement, would Sc
cure the trade and business from a limited por-
ton of country on only one side of the road.
We throw out these hints, and give these facts,
for the consideration of those whom the peculiar
friends of Keokuk seek to mlslead. 1t is through
Burlington that the trade of central iowamust
find its eastern and southern market by way OF
rail road communication with Peoria, Chicago
and Cairo. Such road it is demonstrated may
be built at the least cost, and will be most profit
able when constructed.

More Entrants Coming,

A telegraphic despatch from New York Of the
date of June Odd, states that large number of
Hungarian refugees have united with number
of Schleswig Holsteiners, to emigrate to the Uni
ted States, TO form colony in Iowa.
The settlement Of the Schleswig Holstein diff
culties, by the interpostion Of Russia and Aus
tria, has left number of those who were engag-
ed in the late resistance to the authority of the
King of Denmark, in nearly the same condition
as the Hungarians. The King, it is true, has
published act of amnesty, since the restoration
of peace, but he excerpts from it the names of a
number of those who took part in the late diff
culties. These are prescribed; and nothing is
left for them, but to seek place of refuge and
safety in some land where they will be out of the
reach of the strong arm of oppression.
1t should be matter Of pride and congratula-
ton to us, that our own land affords this refuge,
and that it is looked to with anxiety and hope,
by the hunted fugitives from other shores. 1t is
to the West-to our State-that their thoughts
are more particularly directed. Iowa opens wide
her arms, TO receive and welcome them.

The Illinois Census,

This census has been taken so as to show the
population Of Eastern and Western Illinois, rs
divided by the Sd meridian line, which terminates
at Cairo. and divides the State north and south,
into nearly equal parts. BY the census itappears
that the Western half Of Illinois has more popu-
lation than the Eastern half which includes Chi
cago and the most prosperous towns on the Canal
and the Illinois river, as well as the towns upon
the Wabash.
The Peoria papers say 'By the census it will
be seen that there are about $4,000 more inhabi-
tants on the west half of Misunderstanding by
the 3d1RGincpal Meridian. This is an increase
of 81 W the last ten years. At this ratio

The Struggle in the South.

In the contest now going on in some OF the
Southern States, party politics seem to be almost
entirely forgotten amid the violence of feeling en-
gendered by the issue of :'Union or disunion..-
Party lines are broken down land members of diff
ferent parties meet together and work together,
in full communion, as Union men or dlsunonists.
In Georgia, ''Union" and ''Secession" are the
standards under which the candidates rally. The
Savannah Republican, always wing paper has
the name of that of an eminent democrat, How
ELL CoBB at the head Of its columns as a candi-
date for Governor; while the ''Georgian," dem
ocratic paper, opposes his election, and supports
MCDONALD, the candidate of the Secesslonlsts.
In Mississippi, Gen. FooTE is the Union can
cidate for Governor, and has taken the stump
with the resolution to speak in every county in
the State; and every day, until the election in No.
vember next The ''disunion' candidate is Gen.
QUITMAN, who though gallant soldier, is by no
means match for Gen. FoorE on the stump.
All the members of the last Congress from this
State are candidates for reelection, and all have
opposition. All the candidates on both sides are
democrats-the wings supporting the Union tick

But what is the object TO be obtained by the

come BY rail road to Burlington in order to take
the Mississippi for St Louis, when they might
save 50 much of the distance by going to War

to furnish an outlet for the travel and surplus pro-
