IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VEST

Correspondence OF The n. Y. TribBne.
DAVENPORT. Iowa, Aug 8, 1854.
ILLINOIs-It appears to me that this State has i'm
proved one hundred per cent. in two years. No
change mot even in politics. has ever been more
striking Farms made, railroads and cities built up
as in n day. The whole West seems like the growth
of a mushroom, and don't droop and die, but goes
ahead
IowA-Travelng in this State from November to
April last gave good opportunity to it, and 10
witness the rush into il from the East and from the
western States think Iowa bids fair to be the gem
of the West, and those who get well settled there
soon will be the fortunates among the children of men,
can conscientiOusly recommend and do now earnestly
advise good farmers to there as possible,
as land is rapidly increasing in price, and best loca-
tons are fast going into hands OF spectators. Not
an acre Of Government land can be got for many
miles out from Davenport, Opposite Rock Island the
present terminus Of the railroad from Chicago and
many are now paying from s. to so per acre for I'M
improved land. Go on at once, if you are going West
at ALL (and do not contemplate going to kanzas or
Nebraska 90 at once to the beautiful State of Iowa.
That is the great focus of emigration lately; aud 1t
n fine State, with its undulatiDg praires and running
streams its groves and great herds of healthy cattle
