The Alton Courier learns from Charles Floyd JONES'
Esq, civil engineer, having in charge OF the grand
divisions Of the Illinois Central Railroad that the work
is progressing with all practicable despatch throughout
the entire line The Chicago branch is complete as far
as Urbana, Champaign county. On the main trunk the
track now laid from Dixon Lee county southwardy
as far Mowerqua, Shelby county, fifteen miles below
Decatur with the exception Of short distance either
side of Salt Creek, which stream yet remains to be
brdged This leaves gap of fortyfve miles north Of
Vandalia to be closed up. From Cairo northward the
track is laid to point within about twenty Ave miles
of the junction of the Chicago branch fifty five miles
south from vandalis making hundred miles yet to
be laid to form connection the entire distance from
Dixon to Cairo At the rate of ten miles per month on
each end this win require FIVE months for completion
and it Is believed that this portion Of the road win ccr-
tany be in running order by the Ars of January next
at farthest.

years ending with 1871, vhilst the increase Of
population ia the United States was scarcely 35 per
cent. Six years agn the population Of the entire
province OF Canada was scarcely million and
half, now It is over two millions and half The ex
ports Of wheat from Canada have increased from
half million bushels, eight years ago, to eight mil
lions Of bushels last year; and in the period the
exports of wheat from the United States have been
almost stationary. The resources Of our various
American provinces are comparatively undeveloped,
and wait but the progress of settlement, the devel
opment Of industry capital, and enterprise. Large
portions Of Upper and Lower Canada, New Bruins
wick, and Newfoundland are, in many respects,
wildernesses and wastes-yet offering numberless
advantages for agricultural improvement, manufac-
turing operations, and the prosecution Of the fshe
ries.
It is often affirmed that our North American Colo
MES would be better customers to us If they belonged
TO the United States or were independent. This is,
however, very erroneous impression For years
past Lower Canada-aye, and Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick TOBIAS progressed as fast as any Of
the NORTHEASTERN States, and Upper Canada as
fast as AM. OF those in the West. The value Of
british goods consumed by the population Of our
North American provinces last year was little
over 23s. per head, while the United States only
consumed such goods to the amount Of about las.
3d. per head. The balance Of trade, in proportion
to population, compared with the United States,
is therefore, decidedly in favor Of the colonists

Of the day has been centred in the conference which
has just taken place between the Emperor of Aus
tria and the King of Prussia. As yet, nothing OF o
positive character regarding il has been announced
or has even oozed out, though the lMonitear does
not scrupie to say in broad TERMS that the result is
favorable to the policy of the Western aIance and
it takes the opportunity of repeating declaration
made by the Austrian Emperor to the Duke Of SAKE

seems TO have been the following:-In this German

SELECTION OF SEEDs.-The better plan
is to make the selection in the field, taking
the largest and best filled ears from the hest
bearing stalks. Much improvement may
be made in this way. But even here we
may run into an error, by looking too ex.
clusively a,the number OF ears, without, re-
gard to the size. 1t is pretty we'll ascer.
