trade and commerce and business must follow.
As easily may man make the Mississippi roll its
current upwards as divert the mass of the COM
merce that floats upon its waters across the rid
ges and mountains that separate us from the At
lantic But the people of the valley of the Mis-
sissippi, and especially of st. Louis have high
duty to perform. We must not stand with fold
ed hands in this age Of progress We have q
duty to fulfil, and to accomplish it We must act
with promptness and energy"
In continuation of the same subject, the Re
publican says that the people of Iowa. keenly
alive to its Importance, are taking hold of this
work with much spirit and determination. as
the following extract from a letter from Eddy
vile in that State fully establishes
AS Railroads and Railroad projects are the
all-absorbing topics of the day, we Iowa folks
are getting our ideas awakened on the subject
of the Northern Missouri Railroad. The East
ern capitalists and men connected with such en-
terprises, are running roads to us from the East
and asking the good people of the valley to lay
hold with them and aid in the construction of
different roads. But there is feeling among
them which strongly indicates to them that this
road is of more Importance to us than any 9th
er project on foot, and in consideration of which
there has been a call made for q mass conven-
tion, to be held at this place on Wednesday.
Nov. l6, 1885, to be represented by all the coun-
ties lying on the line of said road, from where
the Missouri survey strikes the Iowa line north
ward to St. Paul in Minnesota.
1T is the intention to organize company
and put the survey right through, from the
point where the Missouri survey strikes the To-
wa State line 1t is the feeling of the people
in this part of the State, that St. Louis is and
must be the business place for u.s. despite of
any effort of eastern capital to turn it toward
the East, by this Northern chain of roads. This
work must be regarded by the st. Louis folks
as matter of vital Importance to them, as the
road will pass through the best parts of both
Missouri and Iowa, for it not only brings the
whole North in close communication with st.
Louis, but it will tend to divert trade and bus
mess, and bring the same through St. Louis,
which otherwise would go by the north road"

Steamboat Arrivals for 1853.

In 1850, navigation cOmmeuccu Oh tue lStn
day Of April, and closed on the 18th November.
In 1851, on the 4th of April, and closed the goth
ofNovember; in 1852, on the 10th of April,
and closed the 10th November and in 1853,
the West Newton, the first boat that arrived
from below came on the 18th April, and it
will probably be three or four days before the
last boat leaves.
In 1850, there were 60 arrivals from Galena,
40 from st. Louis, and from points on the
Minnesota River. In 1851, there were IS from
Galena IS from st. Louis from Minnesota
River and from other points. In 1852 there
were l3l from Galena, % from st. Louis Is
from Minnesot River, and 4 from other points.
In 1853, there has been 80 arrivals from Ca
lena, Is from st. Louis, 40 from Minnesota Ri
yer, and 20 from other points.
There have been, in all, % different boats
here during the season just closed last year

1t will he seen that while compared with last
year, the number of arrivals from Galena have
decreased 30 per cent, the number from St.
Louis have increased nearly 300 per cent, and
from the Minnesota River, nearly 400 per cent.
The number of arrivals from other points show
still greater increase. The falling off in the
number from Galena is attributable to the fact,
that last year there were rival lines from that
place, and being consolidated this year. there
were less number Of boats in the trade. The
carrying trade, however, between Galcna and
st. Paul has not diminished, but, on the con-
trary, has materially increased.
