II must serve as ala :" i8,9ortrat feeder"
With reference therefore 10 their mutual
interests, we lerrn that these three roads,
a an early date, entered into articles
Of agreomeuJ,' by which the Minera!
Point Road, SO far as it shall have the ie-
gal right to control the destination of
trelghts, agrees 10 transport the same to
the illinois Central Cat Warren and bv
giving through tickets to passengers, as
well as by the general regulation of its
tariff of freight and passengers, supnlates

Central, AID the Galena and Chicago L.
X. r., 50 far as the same may be legally
practicable. In considelat ion of this
stipulation the Galena and Chicago [. r.
X. Co. agree to pay TO the Mineral Point
Road such sums (not exceeding thirty
per cent, Of the gross receipts Of the bu-
s-nesS derived from the Mineral Point
Road) as apded tots local business shall
secure to it a net annual income OF fifty
SIX thousand dollars.
Although the Mineral Point Road will
terminate for the present at the town
from which il derives its title, it is ex-
pected TO be continued still further north,
and for this purpose the charter Of the
:" CaIImine and Mississippi Railroad"
has been granted by the Legislature Of
Wisconsin, and It's organization has been
completed, ready al the oPportune period
to push it forward and connect with the
Mineral Point Railroad by a direct route
with La Crosse, and ultimately 10 ST..
Paul and Lake Superior. Such an ex-
tension would. be virtually an eIongation
Of the Illinois Central Road, and with the
completion and union Of the Mobile and

The WANTS OF THE MINNESOTA VALLEY
The St. Peter Courier of the LIST instant
in an article on the Legislature which has
just commenced its sitting, thus enumerates
some of the wants of the Minnesota Val
ley
We have heretofore spoken Of the Rapids
in the Minnesota River; and we have the
confidence to believe that the Valley mem.
bers have the good of their constituents SC
much at heart that they will, as soon as pos
sible rush through Memorial to Congress
for an appropriation for their removal II
the General Government cares for it's own
interests, it will cheerfully give the requi-
site amount Of money to carry into effect the
object desired. Remove the Rapids, and
every year can be sent forward by water the
supplies for the Winnebago and Sioux Indi-
ans, and for the soldiers at Fort Ridgely
and at the same time every citizen in the
Valley will be benefited. The amount ne
cessary to complete the work is small-$lO, !
600 being amply suficient-and where so
much good with such trifing outlay Of
money can be effected, it is of the utmost
importance that it be speedily made.
We want the School Section that now sep
arates this city from Traverse removed
We're an earnest application made ty our
Legislature to this end, there is no doubt but
Congress would grant the prayer; thus Civ
ing Traverse and St. Peter such an impetus
as they have never known, and which no
event could rctard. Our infant cities would
then take rank with any of the older ones in
the West, and ere long eclipse the most pop
ulous towns in Minnesota.
We need a government road from Winona
to Fort Ridgely, by way of St. Peter, and
thence to Pembina. The most casual obser-
yer cannot fail to perceive the advantage to
Southern Minnesota of such road: AL
ready vast travel has sprung UP in this d.
rection; and as the Mississippi keeps open
| three weeks longer at Winona than at Lake
Pepin, our business men would, had they q
road, be enabled to get their supplies much
sooner and cheaper than from St. Paul.
Since the close of navigation. the road from
this city to St. Paul has been literally dotted
with teams, laden with provisions, &C., fol
our merchants and those above US. They
bring them at heavy expense-and of course
in retailing them, make up their loss off O
community. H s4.a
We need daily, or at least tri-weekly
mail from Mankato to st. Paul. Our Valley
members should see that Memorial to this
end is at once laid before the Legislature
Our Valley is densely populated, and the
meager postal accommodations we have is I
disgrace shame.
We need Land Office, and we hope tn
Legislature will not fail to send strong Ne
mortal to Congress for. the location of ont
early. The poorer citizens Of this Valley
are harassed, perplexed, and not unfrequent
| " defranded, for the want -cf one neare
them.
