Carpenters Hall, situated in Carpenters
Court, is a pile dear to every American,
for within its walls, the first Congress Of the
United States assembled Ia fact which
should entitle it to place in the heart Of
every true lover Of his country. "The
building is of brick, two stories high, and
surmounted By a cupola. The facade is in
the Roman style Of architecture. The prin-
cipal entrance leads to the Assembly Room,
in which Congress first met. It is now oc-
cupied as an auction mart" BY an auction
mart-the old story. Alas that these old
buildings, so intimately connected with the
principal scenes in the history Of our coun-
try, should thus be profaned. Why do not
those who make such magnificent donations
to our colleges and other institutions, give
a mite toward their preservation Of these
monuments Of the past? Surely their lib

Progressive Age.

MEssKs. EDIToRs:--H Having noticed the fe-
verish excitement in this section for the last
three years, more. or less upon the subject
of Railroads and which, until lately, was
considered as a mere shadowy theme for
conyersation--and, seeing now that new
energies have been made and energetic men
placed at the head, or foremost, | consider
it duty to render those men their dues.
1t was for a time greatly feared that our
State, Iowa, would fail to compete with her
sister States in this branch of enterprise,
even with those of inferior productive, ca
pacity. Nevertheless, we are now placed
in the midst of three. or four necessary rail-
ways. Although none are yet completed,
much is being done and said for their aid
and completion. We have not shadow Of
doubt that all of them will be favored as
much as possible, as community generally
are aware that they viii increase the popula-
ton of the State, as well as lend the means
of transportation. -.a5. =,
From current reports, we learn that ar
rangements are being made in our city for
the contracting and commencement of the
Muscatine and Iowa City Railroad, and the
general impression is that this will be the.
first road completed. - gs,l lfsy8esr
The situation we have been in, and in
which we yet remain, renders it difficult for
US to do anything IN the way Of importing
or exporting, without it is disadyanta-
geously. After the completion of the roads
now in contemplation, We will be able to
dispose of our mud cars, which have been
the only means heretofore for conveying
produce from one place to another, and in.
their stead will be placed the g iron horse"
which is probably a little harder oifeed,
water and control than the common1species
of horses, but horse that is a horse in re-,
gard to speed. zszsjai 1iadi A FARNKR.
