fore, still ! am ten thousand times more so
now, for / feel fully convinced from what
know of the country from actual observation and
from what ! learn from those who have travel
cd it, that Of all the routes the Northern one is
the most practical for great National road, q
road which will unite the waters Of our great Lake
and the waters of the Mississippi with those Of
the Pacific coast. Gen. Stevens and his men
unite in saying that this is by farthe best route,
and think no one who will for moment in.
vcstigate the subject, will doubt it. But have
not space to speak Of this matter in this letter
as could wish, and will therefore allude to it
again in my next. Until then consider me
wandering over the prairies, taking notes by
the roadside. r. NJ N.
THE FALLS CITY.-The steamer Falls City, Ed
ward Murphy, master, arrived at our lcvcc Satur-
day morning from st. Anthony. This was her
first trip up the river and notwithstanding she
experienced some difficulty in passing the Rapids,
her proprietor and the people at the Falls appear
to be quite sanguinc that she will be able to make
regular trips from that point to Galcna. The
captain is of the opinion that the only obstruction
to her running up, is a few loose rocks which
when removed, will afford good and safe chan
mel. lie says on the way down her stern struck
one Of these loose rocks and the current swept
Der bow around against the bank Of the river
They soon hauled her back into the channel
again. having sustained some slight damags,to
her machinery, but not so much as to prevent
her reaching this place with safety where she re-
manned all the next day undergoing the necessary
repairs. She left in the evening for Rock Island
with several passengers on board. After this trip
it is the intention of the company to run her reg
ularly between the Falls and Galena, Another
circumstance much against her success at present,
is the extreme lowness of the water. 1t now
ranges from 1-2 to feet at different places
on the Rapids. If the rocks can be removed,
possibly the Falls City will be enabled to ply un-
interruptcdly between these two points--St. An
thony and Galena.
! Railroad Accident---One man killed and several
wounded.
| We learn from the officers Of the Golden Era,
that train of cars on the Illinois Central Rail-
road run off the track on Thursday evening last,
some ten miles the other side of Galena, killing
one man and woundng several others. The Era
was detained in consequence. The accident was
caused by a bull on the track.
CO The Gaena arrived Saturday morning
at O'Clock with 80 cabin passengers ana 60 tons
offreight. She remained until noon Of the same
day and departed for Caleua.
The Clerk, Mr.. Cochrane, informs US that the
boat was detained on her way up at Red Rock
about hours in consequence of the storm and
darkness of the night. He also informs us that
the river is daily falling.
Etzy@ The Golden Era arrived Yesterday
with few passengers and a mail, but brought
no news Of importance, nothing further from the
seat OF war.
| YANKEE NoTloNs.-Thcrc are two real live, rcn-
uine Yankees in our midst with all the Yankee
notions ever made or thought of, from splendid
pcddnc wagon, down to jcwsharp adapted to
the use of 4 mosquito Of the most insignificant
Dimensions. These gentlemen have emigratcd to
our Territory for the purpose Of scattering theil
wares broadcast over it, and Judging from the
amount Of sales already made, they are in fail
way to accomplish their object. Goods purchased
of them much cheaper than can be purchased
elsewhere, and in every respect they equally
as good. AS they do COOL jobbing business,
merchants should call and examine their articles
J &C. NJ. Daley & Co. are the gentlemen, situated
two doors above the Winslow House, in St. An
thony street.
