A alistaken Idea.

The Wnpello Lieiigcneer, after publish
ing the resolutions passed at a railroad
meeting in this place on the lth inst, re-
marks:
"lt has been stated upon very good au..
thority, that Muscatine has abandoned her
project of rail- Dad west, through Louisa,
Washington and Keokuk counties, and the
foregoing resolutions 60 to show pretty
conclusively that such is the case; for it is,
very evident that she cannot build both
roads, and why does she pledge her treas
ure and excrtions to the new project, if the
old one is not abandoned |? We suppose
that there is not man i'm Muscatine, who
knows any thing about the matter, that has
the slightest h pes of ever seeing the Vests
ern road put under contract; and therefore
they are turning their attention to some
thing that looks more practicable. The
people in the counties west Of us are fast
losing confidence in the Muscatime road f.
and IRE turning their attention to the Fort
Wayne and Platte Valley road, which, un-
der the direction Of such men as Gcst and
Curtis. they know must and will 60 ahead.'
On what "good authority has such a
statement been made? Who has been de-
ceiving the editor of the InieiIg encer with
the idea that the knowing ones in Muscatine
do not expect to see the Muscatine and Os.
kaloosa railroad put under cor tract? If
the Fort Wayne and Platte Valley road
is based upon the probability of the aban-
donmcnt of our western road it is n
ssgnner,' certain, and its projectors had
better try some more honorable and efficient
plan for its advancement than eadeayoring
to destroy confidence in the Muscatine and
0skaloosa road. Ii looks very much like
the promptings of envy and malice.
Muscatine is vitality interested in her
road to Oskaloosa, and will construct it at all
hazards. The project of railroad to Cedar
Rapids will not interfere with it in the least;
both roads arc needed and will be built.

OF education can be adopted.
A State system of education is 30 intimately
connected with, and SO essential to the cause
OF agricultural progress, that IL might well be-
come the exclusive subject of discourse, upon
an occasion like the present. II is the great
foandatlon-the chief corner stone Of agricui-
tural Improvement, and still how much IT has
been ovetlooked-how grossly neglected by the
may be attributed the tardy progress Of rural
science. To what cause may this neglect be at
tributed? How to remove the most serious OBJ
stacles to agricultural improvement, demands
serious consideration, ard should be leading
object with all friends OF rural progress. So
universally benevolent is our mother earth
especially IN her virgin purity, that a moderate
degree OF success rewards the labor of even
the most illiterate and ignorant farmer. The
mere mechanical ability 10 pillow, and SOW, and
reap, is sufficient to secure crop from soil
not impoverished. Contented with the mere
necessarries Of life, and seeing that the hand of
uninstructed toll receives some remunerating
returns, too many farmers have never realised,
that although mere corporal efforts may bring
forty or fifty fold till the earth is robbed Of its
native richness, still the utmost fullness--the
hundred foid-can only be realised when those
corporal efforts are directed by an educated and
investigating mind.
The occupation Of farmers is retired and do
nestle, their associations limited, their aspira-
lions modest, their wants but few; and finding
that these can be supplied without even an or
diaary education, they are too often contented
to till and imPoverish their land, ignorant OF
the condition and wants of the soil from
which they derive diminishing Subsistence,
perverseiy refusing to avail themselves Of The
greatest improvements, blessings and comforts
Of life. With sleepy indifference they close
