The following occurs IN tho report Of TIE
President and Board Of Directors Of the
Mississippi and Missouri Railroad:
ssThis road trayerses the coal fields Of
Iowa for q distance Of one hundred and
seyenty-ive miles. AT the least estimate
the road when completed, will transport one
hundred tAousad tons Of coal to the Missis-
sippi river. One hundred thousand tons ut
$3.50 per ton, would bring freightage OF
$3.50. 900. The total quantity OF land tribu-
tary to the railroad is $3.50, 900 acres. At
present only 726 $50 acres are improved, or
about one acre il, twelve. It's low esti-
mate to saw that one acre in four will be
improved as soon as the railroad is compile
ted. Hence the products will be three times
as great as Mt present, and the tonnage OF
Of the principal agricultural products, as
Stunning the latest statistical data for basis,
will be 1875, 1856 tons, one half of which at
So per ton will be 81 ,6l9, 1856. 1t is also a
low estimate to say that the territory OF the
counties tributary to the railroad will con-
tain three times as many inhabitants when
the road is completed as it does now or a
total population of 522, 2o4 souls; and the
travel of one half will average at least 81
per head, or over half a million per anum."
1t may not be an exaggeration to state,
that upon the completion Of the road the
amount of coal transported to this point,
will equal, if not exceed, that set down
above, as likely to be transported to the
Mississippi river. The large number Of
Steamboats, plying upon the Missouri river,
will have to be supplied with fuel, and when
coal can be procured at less rates than wood
it will take the place of the latter to . great
extent. The towns along the Missouri Slope
will in few years have to depend entirely
upon coal for fuel, owing to the growing
scarcity Of timber. Everything indicates
that when the road is completed to this city,
it will find plenty to do, to supply the de-
mands of the ''great west" From the
figures shown in the above extract, we should
think that the company was well aware that
the business. of the road would pay a hand
some dividend. Ii the above account is
correct and we have no reason to believe it
is not, it is of nearly as much interest to the
company, to have the road completed, as to
the country, and we hope, therefore, that
we shall ere long, hear of some move being
made in furtherance Of that consummation.
Old Pottawattamie has done her duty, and
now awaits with anxiety, her promised re-
ward. Push ahead the "Iron Horse'-we
of the Missouri Slope are all inpatient to
welcome him to our midst, for we need his
services to transport our merchandise and
products, and to bring us fuel, etc,

CO The good people of New York have
again been thrown into commissions, by the
arrest of Mrs. CUNNINGHAM, on charge of
felony in fraudulently producing an infant,
which she falsely pretended to have been
born Of herself, as the widow Of the late
DIR. BuRDELL, with the intent of intercepting
the inheritance Of his property from the
persons legitimately entitled thereto. The
N. York papers are filed with disgusting
details of the pretended accouchment. 1t
must be morbid taste, that requires and
Graves such catering on the part of editors.

We find in the Daily Express, of Tcrre
Haute, the following account Of the moral
condition of Indiana. It's deplorable enough
but We have reason to believe it is too true.
And we as confidently believe that the cx-
ample of her public men has been the chief
cause Of the degradation of that State:
We said yesterday that dissipation was on
the increase in this city aud throughout the
State. Never was there time in the his
tory Of Indiana, when SO much crime was
being committed. The papers tcem with
violations of the entire criminal code. The
root of all this, the encouragement giy-
en- to dissipation, by the party now power in
this State. The Governor, the Supreme
Bench and the entire Democratic press,
pander to the peoples appetite for strong
drink. The Chief Executive sets the exam
pie, his personal friends follow in his wake,
the highest court in the State comes to their
aid, and thus the rule is, to get drunk, the
exception, Tin that party, to be duly sober.
From this and-point, Ca barrel Of bad
whiskey,) begins all other phases Of crime
It is the beginningthe penitentiary and
the gallows the end.

Gently invested nearly 1000, 600 in the
State stocks of Missouri, Pennsylvania,

has been drawn from the Treasury The

A dispatch was received to-day at the
General Land Office, from Hasting, Min.

three hundred thousand acres Of land
warrants from the Fairbolt Land Office
had been, arrested, and all the warrants
excepting five had been recovered, e :
There was no meeting of the Cabinet

answer is, that the Graduation Act wa
