RAILROAD PROJECTS.

Correspondence OF The Chicago Tribune.
QUISDARO, h. T., July q, 1857.
Matters may be said to remain IN stain qno ante
bellu but feeling of anxiety pervades some of our
people as to what the Pacifcator" may do next
Lawr nee has been succeeded by profounder astonsh,
ment at bis continued delay in the neg hborhood OF
the rebelous city. A faint rumor reached here yes
terday that all this parade and proclaming was to be
taken as big clap of thunder preceding the light
nipg-a reversal of the ordinary process which has
BEEN left for the inveI tive genius Of the Hon. Robert
j. Walker. What sort of lightning may be in store
for is probably best known to the great man him

have bcrated in no measured terms the folly of his
prOcee dings. .
On the other hand, it is stated with considerable
FEASIBILITY that Gov w. would give all the boots in
bis compsny to get out of the scrape and that he is

have reliable information that Walker, in conversation
with prominent Free State maD begged him to afford
him some means of backing out gracefully. He got
no satisfaction From ,hs infer thatther is truth
in the runOr of the proposed comp dSat-hat no con-

Robert j. Walker for cohvulser. Altogether regard
this business something superior ~ farce-rather

Of the Republic sends US Governor with reputa-

Government at work TO reVerec the opinions OF a
whole Territory on Il subject which has occupied them
e. cusivey for the space OF three years; hen vexed
at not finding his advice followed, he Eliminates
bullying boodpIesagipg proclamation, and marches

rebellion against his politics seems nost determnsd

RAILROAD CONNECTIONS WITH THE EAST.
The events Of the past two weeks have already had
their unfortunate effect the material prosperity OF
the Territory in arestiDg emigration aud illuminating
capital think this is needless. We are not going 70
have another war. Gov. Walker will Lot attempt to
collect the bogus taxes aud neighbors the
border are too busy with their private concerns to mo-
lest us. Platte and Clinton Counties are working
stenuously for railroad connection with the East,
" hich they expect to assist them IN completing.
Kansas CITY, private gehenna OF Border Rufiianlsn,
has lately sent an agent cssle Eastern capitalists ia

pOsite QuindGrO to ts connection with the Hannibal
aod ST. Joseph Railroad. This is by far the least
pensive of the projected ROUTES which will one day
bring the trade and travel of future State through
the streets of your city. The route beyoad the Goa
pectIon with the Hannibal and ST. Joseph Railroad is
rot yet located The charter allows 1t to cross the
northern boundary Of Missouri at any point the copo

Mississippi at Burlington, Iowa. but influences have

direct it to Davenport other point even far.
Their no,th VIII the business men OF your city assist
this enterprise with their means and inhuesce Oace
completed il brings not only the trade Of Kansas to
iher doors but the large and increasing business of
New-Mexico will flow directly and surely to Lake
Michigan. Our connection with the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad can be completed long before the
Pacific Railroad of Missouri reach the Territory,
