We csn have no efficient schools without

win be too late to get il into the levy Of
this year, and 10 that case We could not
get any money from tax until 1860, and
in the mean time our schools, if VIC have
any, cannot be Of much benefit. The
matter virtually stands thus: No tax, no
schools; so therefore ifthc people Of this
district wish to have school they must
vote tax. We are more than ever con-
WINGED that large majority of our citi-
Gems will vote for tax, when they know
just how tie matter stands. We believe
that a large number of those who voted
against tar did it because they had
been misinformed with regard to the
facts in the case; and they will be among
the first to vote for tax, when they as
certain what the truth is. If the dis.

From the Chicago Press,

CEDAR VALLEY BRANCH OF THE c.,
/. Il N. II. R.-The Committee to whom
was referred the general subject Of the
future policy apd measures of the Chica-
go, Iowa and Nebraska r. II. Company,
in regard to building the Cedar Valley
Branch Of this road to its connection with
the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley road,
through Minnesota to st. Paul and Min
neapolis, with view to continuous and
unbroken line Of road from Chicago via
Clinton and st. Paul, (Messrs. Croker
and Purdy) reported few days since.
The following is an extract from their
report:
II is becoming more and more evident
that this great line of road between Chi
cage and st. Paul has been well conceiy-
ed, it being more than nine tenths of the
distance on an air line, no portion of the
grade, except in crossing the Minnesota
River, over fol.y (40) feet to the mile,
and very little of it over ten feet, and the
whole distance only about $50 miles,
which is about tho same as from Buffalo
to New York, on the New York Contra
and Hudson River roads in the State Of
New York, with as good a grade and line
and which can be run as cheap and
quick, say in about fourteen hours.
On the principle of equation Of grade
and distance, it is believed that no shor-
ter line between Chicago and ST. Paul
can ever be found and though from st.
Paul to Cedar Rapids the line is in .
southerly or south easterly direction, yet
it has, 10 commercial view, all the ele-
nents Of an East and West Road; as il
is and must ever be thu quickest and
easiest route by which to reach Chicago,
from every point o. crossing the east and
west roads which run from the Missis-
sippi, both from Minnesota and Iowa.
BY recent interview, which the
Chairman Of your Committee has had
with General Shields, the President Of
the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Road,
your Committee are informed that il Is
tho intention Of that Company TO Com.
mence their work the present summer.
and that under the aid Of the credit Of
the State which has recently been extern
ded to them, they confidently hope TO be
able to progress steadily, though noder-
