Of the handsomest dwelling houses you'll see
anywhere Altogether, Indianapolis is 4 FAST

In going to Chicago by this route, you pass
through some 4eEy busy towns amongst
which are lafayette Richmond &c Atthclatter
tIFisce We took inss- party Of Kansas .enigrants,
sent out by the benevolent societies of the North
10 whip the Border Ruffans,n and east votes
for freedom or They seemed ike avery peace
able lot of fellows, and T'Te not doubt viii
come back wiser than they started. at Michi-
gan City we take the n. G, Railroad and its
/ are large and comfortable, and they ran like
1 lightning over the ffty-fve miles that separate
. the E"City of Sandn-which is not city by q
long ways, or ought not to be-from Chicago.
/ Bythis trainwereach Chicago about O'Clock,
tif remember Alright, and after no little labor to
get out through the depot, you may be lucky
enough to reach an omnibus that runs to tho
hotel.You may wish: and as there are SO many,
aud all about alike, shall not advise you IN tho
matter Concerning Chicago I have but little
to say. From my heart iiespise the plaee, and
am not therefore inclined to speak impartially Of
the people in it OF this be assured, that you.
viii find it necessary always 70 keep your hands
on your pocketbook, whether there be white
hats about or not. Butt need hardly advise
you thus, for there will constantly be such de-
mand upon your port niouaie, that it will for
this reason be in yonr hands almost day and
night The best idea Fever heard concerning
this place was from the pen of some poor devil,
who said that every man, woman and child IN.
Chicago, had their eyes fixed on a JdeI8oH quar-
ter, and neither the voice of poverty, religion,
or hunger; could prevent their following the
power of silver to the deaths 1 II
The distance from Chicago TO Galena is about
one hundred and seventy five miles, and is gem
orally made in good time. By taking the
o'clock A. N train, at Chicago, you reach Rock
ford in time to dine, and Galena before tea
There is beautiful land between these places,
aud some as pretty towns as are seen anywhere
lin-tbs West There is place called Elgin, be-
tween Freeport and Chicago, that is very ro-
mantle in appearance i assure you, and besides
Z has beautiful Female Seminary, and very
large hotelfor so smallaplace There is q Sem
/ mary at Rockford, also, andanother somewhere
else on the road. SO he,yuung ladies have ex-
eellent chances for improving their minds and
bodies both. - sz1
{. Gslena is looking as of old, save that in the
place of the old and new buildings burned down
i last April, there haze already gone up on every
' acant lot, I believe, handsome business houses.
I he people seem to be in excellent spirits, and
" ell they may be, for / believe they are doing
rs much business as is possible for the same,
no mber of persons to do under any circumstan-
cs /. By the way there is gas in the city now,
ana, 1 do assure you that it is an Improvement
wei u worth the $50 600 paid for the construction
ii & he works, alone. Col. Ross, Of Cleveland
IS 4 he contractor, and he is finishing up the
aane soonest mandatory of the kind 1 eversaw.
de h IS introduced every modern improvement,
md j S making nowas pure and cIeanIy gas as
;ould be desired. And qprqp4s of this SUBJECT
THAT is the reason that in Wheeling we have to-
ray 81 .3,0ofor gas when coal only costs 81 per
lundrt d; while in this city tho Company fur
fish ga $ at the same price, and pay thirty dol
das Pc hundred for coal, far inferior to ours?
It's an after that l have never been able to un.
lerstand ,-fof there is no place in the Union
where tn ey pay much more for gas than we do.
Dunlei tn is the terminus of the Central HIi-
lois Rail- Dad, and is 10 miles from Galcna, and
ust oppo site Dubuque. So that all persons
Wishing to visit the latter place, must cross the
airy, and as there is an excellent hotel at Dun
,ith, very many persons going up the river do
ot choose to cross over, either going or coming
my person with common sense must observe
hat this Isl favor of Dunleith for stopping
lace, and G, lena for business over Dubuque.-l
here is to b, !, a bridge across tho river It's
inc, but the Company have ten years to build
lin, and that is long enough time to make and
reak hundr ed cities in tho West Besides,
18th the Rock Island Bridge before the world, a
erfect 'tboat 81 nasher'-as I happen to know
y experience i hardly think that the boatmen
i'll submit to a mother across the Mississippi
,unleitil is hard Iva village yet, there being but
hotel and some few dwelling houses. .ets
