llrnrssorA RAnaoAps.-The Minnesot,
LegislstaPs has given the lands donated BY
Congress, 70 fous separate companies. The
AinassotA and Paoi6c Railroad Company,
one Of the bsnenciaries, is to construct line
fron Saltwater via ST.. Paul and 81. Anthony
70 Deseksnridge, town on the Sioux Wood
River, near the point where that stream
snp&iss into Lake Traverse. A branch 10 to
b Constructed from St. Anthony via Grow
Wing to ST. Vincent, on Red River, near the
mouth Of the Pembins, and within few
miles Of the British line. A branch 10 to
divsrge from tais branch, somewhere above
81. Anthony, and run to Lake Superior, or
the highest point Of navigation on the St.
Louis River, below the falls. The Root River
Valley road, another beneficiary, runs from
La Crescent to St. Paul, with branch to
the Southern line Of the State, in the direc.
zion Of ths Big Sioux. The Transit Railroad
received : portion Of the lands, but the route
Of THE road NO have not seen. The Min.
neapolis and Cedar Valley Railroad, which
receives grant, runs southerly to = point
Of junction with the St. Paul and Big Sioux
road at 6akopes, thence via Farribault to the
south line Of the Territory, west OF range
sixteen, whore it connects with Dubuque and
St. Paul Railroad. This il the line in which
our people are interested. The point where
It strikes this State Is in Mitchell county
The Cedar Valley Railroad runs soutberly
from that point. The lowe Central, con.
meeting with the Cedar Valley road at Cedar
Rapids on the north, and with the Keokuk
and NJ. Pleasant road on the south, gives NJ
direct line to st. Paul and St. Anth ony,
through all the prominent intervening towns.
Another connection will be effected BY the
proloDgation Of the Ksokuk and Fort Des
Aoinss road northward to Mitchell county,
concerning which, for the purposes Of con-
nscsion with the Minnesota road, conferences
have already been held between the Presiden.
Of our road and prominent members Of the
Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Company, Of
which Gen. Shields is President, II. H. Sib.
leyis Treasurer, and Frank Steele Secretary
This great northern connection will aid to
the importance and doubtless assist in the
construction Of our roads.
TEE RAnRoAp At KxosAuQuA.- had a
meeting at Keossuqua on the 2lst to consid-
OF the subject Of subscriptions and pecunary
assistance to the Ksokuk L Fort Des Moines
Railroad. Judge Wright made an address.
IN which he stated that the Company would
not 50 there unless they raised money sufic.
ciens to grade the road from Bentonsport,
which work would require about $40, OO0.--
i Was proposed to raise that by giving lands,
town lots, and money. II was thought that
the anOhnt would soon be raised. The com .
pany will lengthen their line three and sixty
eight hundrsdths miles by going to Keosauqua
in stead Of going direct across the country
above Bentonsport.
DirrfcuLrY AT FoRr MADISON. We rive
elsewhere an account by correspondent Of
a serious fracas at Fort Madison, between
some Of the people and the officers and hands
upon the steamboat Saracen, which has re-
suited, probably, ere this, in the death Of one
OF the oitisens Of Fort Madison. Some peo-
pie went to Burlington with the intention Of
arresting the parties, when the boat arrived,
bat Ne understand that the boa, hns since
passed our levee, on her way down, and
probably her officers, instead of going up az
Tar a. Burlington, thought it prudent to re-
turn without completing the trip.
dovERxoa OF UrAH.-lt 10 said that the
Administration hopes yet to prevail ON Ben.
AcCullock to 20 to Utah ~ Governor; but
that, il it cannot, Gen. Harvey will be in.
vested with both civil and military powers
until Law and order are established.
Negrs Catching sn Ohio.
The following from the Springfield, Ohio,
fonporisl, in relation to fruitlcss attempt
on the part Of Deputy Marshal Of the Uni
ted States and his posse to catch a fugitive
slave, doubtless details the circumstance.
upon which the white men engaged were sub
sequently arrested by the Marshal, and in
whose behalf wriss Of habeas corpus were
obtained from the Judge, as announced In
the telegraphic dispatches published in an.
other column.
The Nonparisl Of last week says:
