Weclip what follows from the Beloit Jour
nal, stating that it refers to the proposed con-
nection of the Kenosha Road with the Rock
River Valley Road. Perhaps our Beloit
friend appreciates our interests correctly and
perhaps not, but after the GOODNESS toward our
enterprise manifested by Beloit, and after the
Racine company positively refused any such
connection as suggested, the advice is notion.
ly trifle unwarranted but entirely useless.
Our own opinion is, upon review of the
whole ground, that the connection now pro-
posed for our road is preferable to any one
heretofore contemplated, Theextraordinary
powers of our Racine brethren may enable
them to attract business from all quarters,
possible and impossible-from the extreme
north and the extreme south, the west and
the east, but we have no such extraordinary
expectations, and hence propose to work prae-
tically and accomplish such beneficial ends
as are possible. We should have liked d.
rect connection with our Beloit brethren, but
they seem to prefer to travel further, and we
looking elsewhere, think we can do quite as
well, if not little better. The article is as
follows:
We find the following item concerning
the movements of the Kenosha road in the
GAINESVILLE Gazette. The arrangement does
not look to us to be very wise one for the
interests of Kenosha; but that is their bust
ness and not ours. To us it would appear
much more advisable for the Kenosha Compa-
any to. build to Burlington and connect with
the Racine company, as by that means they
would ultimately have a connection both with
GAINESVILLE and Beloit, and these two last towns
both have connection with Kenosha under
circumstances as favorable as one alone can
have connection underline arrangement pro-
posed below,-and wemay add, aconnection,
doubtless at quite as early a day as they can
secure IN this manner. We are aware that
the unpleasant state of feeling existing be-
tween the two towns of Kenosha and Racine
might be an impeachment in the way ofconnec-
ting at Burlington, but it seems to us, as long
as it would be matter of probably mutual
benefit, 1t need not be an impediment alto
gether insuperable. AT any rate, were we a
citizen of Kenosha we think we should en-
deavor to promote such an arrangement, and
we know that some of her prominent citizens
agree with us as to its propriety.

Now their train was going from Chicago, and
ours was coming to Chicago, and consequent

4 wondeyfm enterprise Talk about the
Pacific Railroad and the Bhering's straits road :
why they are but pigmy enterprises compa-
red with the proposed labors of our Racine
brethren. We suppose there must be a CEN
ire to the world someplace and Racine seems
likely to be the spot. Think of it; when from
Prairie du Chen on the north and Cairo on
the south and San Francisco on the west, and
all the intermediate country, the trade and
population comes rushing past every place else
to seek Racine, we shall have lively times on
the western shore Of lake Michigan. Our
New York city friends and people intermedi-
ate, must punch up the lake shore road, so as
to complete their connection with this threa-
tened metropolis, for they cannot very well
stand it to be cut off from it. AS for lis, our
hope lays in being absorbed into its capacities
as its boundaries swell to their mighty pro-
portions. We get from the Racine Democrat
the programme of their mighty enterprise, as
follows:
Let us look little to the advantages of
this line of Railroad to our city. Our Yves
tern Railroad will be the shortest and best
route to the Mississippi. At Jansevile
branch ofitwill connect. the Rock River Union
Valley Railroad, and the Southern Wisconsin
Railroads. 1t is also contemplated to make
branch from Johnstown to Milton, there
connecting our Road by the best and most
direct route thro' the Madison and the Mil
waukee and Mississippi Railroad to Praire du
CHEN. From Beloit it will 90 to Freeport.
in Illinois. There it will intersect the Rail
roads OF that state running south to Cairo,
and west to Galena, Savanna and Dubuque.

intimates that gas is manufactured in this

THE IRON LOCK,

Of which we promised desert ption last
week, is row completed, except the adj usl-
ment of the balance beams. Kimber Clea-
yer, Esq, Chief Engineer OF the Sunbury
and Philadelphia rail road, first formed the
design Of building lock wholly OF cast
iron as substitute for the solid masonry
now generally in use. This idea suggested
itself to him chiefly Tom the inability al
ways 10 procure stone fitted for such pur-
poses, and partly from an opinion that iron
was cheaper and more suitable.
The foundation of this lock, which form,
the inlet 10 the railroad conpany's basin
and the Canal Company's water power, is
solid rock, found some ten feet below the
surface Of the water in the river at low
water. The dimensions are as follows: -
length 100 feet. Width, 80 ieet. Height
from the floor 10 the caps, 20 feet. Int
trenches excavated from the rock are sunk
longidudinally yellow pine sills, secured il
their places by cement grouiing. On thsst
are laid transverse sills, on which are pla
ced ninety columns of cast iron in the u
shape, the verlcle side of which is on tn,
inside of the lock. These columns ar,
secured to both setis Of sills, by screw
bolts, whose tensile strength is calculated
TO sustain much greater pressure than cat
in any event be thrust upon them. Agains
these coums, forming the chamber Of th
lock, rests wall of inch plank who's
joints are broken by inch boards, both o
which are iastrned to the columns by ke,
bolts and cast iron clamps. These clamp
are constructed with continuous projection
TO guard the ends of the key bolts from in
jury. Behind this wall of plank comes
layer Of cement, rendering il imperviou
, to leakage, backed BY another wall {
plank of equal thickness. At the back G
, this the whole space is securely puddlre
The wings extend 25 feet on each sids
front and back, and are constructed in th
| same manner as the chamber. s,t
