Der at least 1000 men, and $50 guns, mostly heavy
ordnance, besides which each ship is provided with
two brass twenty four pound field pieces, to be used
for shells or canister shot. The expedition, if we
mistake not, carried out magnetic telegraph, a
locomotive and railway cars, and many other pro-
ductions of modern civilization to impress the ma
tves doubtless, with proper respect for us outside
barbarians. The command of this feet it is almost
needless to state, is intrusted to Commodore Perry

every reason to believe that il will be successful and
that through the nstrumentality of our country the

At the last session OF Congress, special act was
passed appropratng one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars for the building or purchase of
suitable vessels, and for prosecuting survey and
reconnaissance, for naval and commercial purposes,
of such parts of Behring's Straits, of the North
Pacific Ocean, and the China SEAS as are frequented
~ hHerie"n Wnaesnlps Anu ny tTaonB Vessels, In
their routes between the United States and China,
Mr.. Kennedy, the late Secretary Of the Navy, says
that this expedition "will find enough, and more
than enough, Of labor to occupy it during the next
three years.I During that time it will be employed
in examining and making charts OF the routes be.
tween California, Oregon, and, in fact, the whole
northern part Of the Pacific so as to facilitate the
navigation of that ocean, many of the straits, bays
and harbors of which, are but imperiecty known.
Particular attention" says Mr.. Kennedy will be
given to the survey of the coasts through and along
which our whaling ships pursue their perlous trade

frequent reports Of the progress of his surveys, in
order that no time may be lost in communicating

Iowa capitol reporter. [volume] (Iowa City, Iowa) 1841-1855, 1853-02-23

The Lansing Journal Informs US that the
General Rail Road Bill has passed the House,
al 90.
The contest has been along and severe one,
and the result was awaited with intense anx.
iety by the largest audience we have yet seen
assembled in the hall Of the House. The sue
cess Of the measure thus far. gives its friends
encouragement to think that it will become a
law. notwithstanding the tremendous efforts to
"stare off," which will undoubtedly be made in
the Senate.
The House bill, containing the general fea.
lures of the Maine Liqro law, has passed the
Senate, 23-9. 1t provides for a submission of
the act to the people for their approval on the
Sd Monday in June next. Ifapproved it is
to become law from and after Dec. LIST.
1858; if not, it shall become law without
further action from and after March lst 1870.

the Chicago, Dixon and Fulton City lines to
the Missouri. OF the superior merits of this
project to any other we have cur doubts; its
peculiar merits, and they are great. We have
no room this week to discuss.
AS countless rumors on this subject hare
undoubtedly been waited to all parts of the
State, magnifyiag and exaggerating every
feature OF che affair. We have only to say that
as yet the sense of Iowa City and of johnson
County as to the policy of engaging in this
enterprise has not been fully tested.
In another week we shall be enabled to state
more definitely the nature and amount of en-.
enlargement proffcred by our citizens.
We have but one opinion about this matter,
which is that the citizens of Johnson county
will greatly err and violate their own best in
terests, unless they put their own shoulders

At a Railroad meeting held in Rochester
| Feb. 18th, divers resolutions, were passed the
sum and substance of which, are that the
attention of the railroad company recently or.
ganized at Daven port. be called to the "tran-
scendent superiority" Of facilities for bridging
the Cedar at that point, and that should the
road be located in accordance with their
wishes. the citizens of Cedar pledge their ma
teriai aid" to the enterprise. to the utmost ex-
tent Of their power.
We also take from the editorial Of the Cedar
County News Letter" the following observa-
tions.
Information has been received that the en-
gineer commenced the survey in the latter part
OF last week, and that he will prosecute the
survey through without delay. The survey
commenced as our informant stated, about one
half mile north of Davenport, from thence run
ming to the valley of Duck Greek, pursuing this
valley westward over a country of great even
ness and fertility, until 1t reaches the Ceda-
river. Should this route ultimately be de
cidcd on, it cannot be doubted we think, but
that the river will be crossed at this place
pursuing nearly direct course to Iowa City.
