Railroad Items.


The city Of Milwaukee has subscribed
S4O0, 900 TO the Milwaukee and Fond
du Lac Railroad. The city previously
pledged its credit to large amount for
the construction Of other roads
Consolidation of different railroad
lines is attracting much attention in the
Eastern States and in New York. Ten
roads have already been consolidated
into one, thus saving an enormous ex-
pense attending feparate organizations.
Some Of the New England roads are al
ready moving toward consolidation.
There is large demand at New York
for Land Warrants for Missouri and
Illinois entries on the alternate sections
along the line OF railroads to which the
Government has made grants. The l60

Oar Railroads.

We have nothing particular to communicate on this
subject besides what stated last week, further
than that the proposition Of the Eastern Company has
been formally agreed to, and that the work will no
doubt commence in three or four weeks In this
nection, we append the following communication on
the subject received last evening:
Mr.. MAuIS You are aware, probably, that on last
Monday the county of Linn was TO vote on the ques
ton whethershe would aid the Airline Railroad with
loan subscription of 100000. 1t is said that the
vote was largely in the affirmative. This may he
somewhat adverse to project of Muscatine and
Cedar Valley road butt gives no occasion to despond
The airline road may not be pushed on the west side
Of the Mississippi river. This is road intended to
run, by straight line from Chicago to Savannah and
thence to Galena. 1t belongs to the Central Michigan
intercst-the same which is talking about the Lyons
and Iowa City road. Now, is this Company going to
bald two lines in this State, and in those parts
starting from the river at points only eighteen or
twenty miles apart, and running from twenty to
twenty-five miles only, apart 1t does not seem prob
able that both these projects are te be carried on, at
present Then if the Lyons road goes on and the air
line does not, yet get the aid of Linn county
II the airline goes on and the Lyons project IS drop
ped may we not have the aid Of Cedar? But suppose
both those roads pushed we are not by any means
ut the "end of our rope Private subscription along
the Cedar river valley is very little forestaled In
Linn county, the township OF Franklin is nearly unan-
imously in favor of road from this place, and opposed
to the airline This township is the most popuous
and wealthy one in the county. The people in that
township, and all up the Cedar Valley will favor a
road to this place. and will subscribe imme diately
The town of Cedar Rapids will vote $4,000 in aid Of
or plan, and the people will subscribe Some them
have subscribed something to the airline, and will
cabs .rbe to the valley road too some have not sub
scribed to the "airline' and will to project The
Cedar valley above Cedar Rapidsthrough Benton
and Blackhawk co1nties--is becoming settled very
fat Immigration sets that way rapidly the last year
or two, and especially this year. There would now be
surplus production sent from that region did not the
Immigration consume it and before a road can be
built there there will be large and growing exporta-
ton. The people are already beginning to inquire
what and where their outlet will be- w.

ChIHa Revolution.

II is said that revolutions never 60 back
wards. If the world desires to progress
there must be revolutions, and in the few
years last past, there has been abundant
evidence of the truthfulness of this fact.
Upon cur own continent Mexico has been
the theatre of civil feuds and bloody war
fare. Europe has produced her quorta of
internal broils and if her countries have not
accomplished the object in view, they have
made it more available when the time shall
come to strike again forss God and liberty"
Asia has caught the spark, and among her
combustible materials We must expect to
see Examinations that will light up the
whole world. The last country on the face
of the earth to which the human mind
would have looked for n rebellion is Asia,
and China is the last place upon her soil
where it would have expected to see rev.
olution. Yet such is the fact. China is
actually disturbed from centre to circum-
ference by internal connections. Her peo-
pie arc dissatisfied with their despotic rulers,
and they seek to remove them from their
midst.
Now that the world is witnessing revo-
luton that will be mighty in its result, it is
we'll to examine the condition of the revo-
lutionized China and discover if possible
tho object they have in view and the neces-
sary results that would probably follow
from the accomplishment OF their ends.
China is the oldest country of which we
have any record, indeed the memory of man
runneth rot to the contrary to the time
China was not inhabited. Its age has been
computed BY distinguished Biologists as
high as 24O, 900 years. This may be wild
estimate, and far beyond tn, truth yet it
may with as equal propriety be said to fall
far short. Beyond certain period OF time
ignorance makes the birth of nations un-
eortain, AMI tra lition running back only
few thousand years, affords no basis on
which to form an estimate. The Chinese
Empire has an area of country twice as
large as the United States, and possesses
population of moro than one fourth the
hs' .ita,,ls globe. That portion OF territory
which has received the appelation OF China
proper is aboat one half the size OF the

DocUMESTs---We saw on the side walk at the post
Office on Sunday morning two immense piles of bun
dies of public documents One pile consisted of nine
bundles franked by Senator Jones, ofIowa to himself
and the other of sixteen bundles fanked by Mr. Jones'
Loco-Foco member of the House of Representatives,
from Tennessee, to himself Each package was esti
mated to weigh about an hundred and twenty pounds
and so here were three thousand pounds, tunand
half, of documents for those two LocoFoco Joneses
It is shameful abuse of the ranking privilege, and
heartily desire to this ranking privilege, often
prosttuted, utterly repealed. Members of Congress
should be allowed no privilege by which they can mo-
nopolze the mails and thus deprive the people of their
regular and just mail facilities.-[ Louisville Journal

We nave corroborating evidence of the truthfuness
of the above. Not many days since, we noticed in
this place three or four two-bushel bags of mail mat
