Improvement of the Rapids.

A month ago il was announced that an
ex-member OF Congress from Indiana was on
his way to the Rapids, to make surveys, and
to commence the work Of removing the Oh
structions TO navigation at the lower and
upper Rapids in the Mississippi. The
authority for the statement was good, and
We did expect to hear of the immediate COM
mencemcnt Of operations, but since then
not word has transpired in relation to the
matter. We cannot hear that the Superin-
tendent has arrived. nor that anything else
has been done that gives promise OF a
speedy commencement Of the work. Can
our friends at keokuk or Burlington enlight-
en- us on this head Ii the appropriation is
not to be expended, it i nothing more than
right that the people shoald know II. II
the government has determined to disregard
the public convenience, hy refusing all aid
In the removal OF these distractions, We
should know il, for then we caa adopt meas
nres to ret round the Rapids, and viii be
the more ready to aid in building the con-
templated Railroad from the lower TO the
upper Rapids.-No Rpa5.
If enlightenment from any other source
than that named above will be acceptable to
the Republican, we would state that for the
last month there has been a small party o.
young men here engaged in a reconnaissance
Of the Upper Rapids, with the view to a sur
fey - soon a. the water shall have fallen
or Government shall have appropriated SUIT
lieient to fairly commence the work after
the survey shall have been completed.

tate the subject OF the establishment OF .

are not at all anxious to embark IN the husi-

had experience sufficient to know that il Is q

without respite, but still we are willing e
engage in the enterprise If sufficient num-
Der of subscribers can be obtained to detray
the actual expenses, without regard 70 cur

scribers to do this, al the low rates al which
we offer the paper, and thus iarwe have en-
" obtained about loo names. We shall
continue to make efforts to get subscribers
and hope those with whom prosPectuses have
been deposited will aid u, aniifby the close
