Pacific Railroad Company. Tie lands to
be sold are located in the counties of Del.
aware, Linn, Buchanan, Benton. Black
hawk, Bremen, Tama, Butler, Grundy,
Hardin, Franklin, Hamilton, Wright,

amount Of lands to be sold is 23O, 400 acres
ard the price demanded varies between
81 and $3.50 per acre.
According to the last report of the Au-
ditor of State, the average assessed value
Of land in Northern Iowa, from Dubuque
to Sioux City, was S4,56 per acre. This
is conclusive evidence that the prices ask
ed for the Railroad ands-which are the
most valuable in the Northern part Of the
State-are not too high.

The Forces In the Field.

Sardinia is stated to have 10000 troops
at different points along her line Of fort
fcatons. There are said to be 10000
French at Genoa, and $1,000 more at Su-
sa, or on their way there. This makes in
all l55 900 men. On the other hand, the
Austrian Army already within the limits
Of Sardinia, number 100000. The advan
tage of numbers is apparently on the side
of the Allies, but the Austrians are more
concentrated, and have their reinforce
ments nearer Mt hand.
A collision between two such contend.
ing armies n the field, or any considera-
BILE portion of them, will be terrible. Nc
engagement in the Crimea would parallel
it, or indeed any record since Waterloo.

The Dakota City Herald.

The above named paper, after nap of
several months duration, has again made
its appearance, and we are pleased to mo-
tice in it new evidences of the advance
ment Of Dakota City. This thriving young
city is blessed with an intelligent, go-
ahead, never say-die class of citizens, who
are bound to build up big town, hard
times and hard reports to the contrary,
Notwithstanding. The editorial articles
in the Herald evince considerable ability
are interesting and spicy, and breathe
the true spirit Of genuine Democracy
The mechanical execution Of the paper is
also noticeable feature it looks as if it
was linked with molasses and rolled with a
corn-cob. Neishbor Parsons, you will
have to stir up your devil" or take hold Of
the rollers yourself.

BY Col. Fl. c. BACON, administrator Of the

committed an error in stating that the

land included in the city that is not laid
off in town lots. This is truly valuable
property. Several months ago forty acres
adjoining the tract now offered for sale,
was sold at private sale for Sirty do',ars

The Austrian Emperor's Mother.

A gossiping letter from Paris, speaking
about the Austrian Emperor's mother,
says:
"The Archduchess is woman of the
most powerful intellect, and still holds her
rule over her son as firmly as in the days
Of his minority. Her penetration is pro-
verbal; and she still consults with Met
ternich upon all subjects connected with
the interests of the Austrian crown. Ev.
err since the marriage of Prince Napoleon
the suspicious of the lady have been arous.
ed and at length, by dint of article and
money, of faith in themselves and the
want Of it in others, the experienced pair
have succeeded in obtaining the full copy
of the letter Of Prince Napoleon and the
Emperor Of the French 70 the King of Sar.
DINA, by which it becomes clear that tho
war in Italy is but secondary object
that the ultimate end is the bestowal of
Lombardy on King Victor, Rome on
Prince Napoleon, Naples on Prince Murst
and the overthrow Of Austria, which leaves
the road open to Russia and then-hur-
rah for the long cherished idea Of All at
tack on England the deed which is to
render his name immortal rs that of Ca
sar, and efface that Of the great Napoleon,
by performing that which even he never
dared to do, and avenging him.

induce capitalists, in these times, to I'M

are well aware that no one will undertake

At least forty miles u road must b

grading and bridging is tas advanced, and
the cross ties are delivered. However,
the forty miles to be completed by that
time may b in two pieces Of twenty miles
each, one at each end Of The road. Pro.
positions will be received for the building
Of the whole line, or for portions Of TWEEN.
ty, forty or sixty miles. As each twenty
miles Of road are completed, the company
are entitled TO sell an additional seventy.
six thousand eight hundred acres of the
land grant. The building Of the west end
Of this road offers favorable opportunity
for founding half dozen or more colonies
on large scale.
The company own, with but few excep.
tons. each alternate section (mile squared
Of land for fifteen miles on each side Of
the road. Twelve to fifteen stations may
be located on the lands Of the company ;
and the lands at the stations, except depot
grounds and right Of way, will be secured
to the contractors. 1t is believed that
most Of the work can be paid for in lands
ans goods. Considerable work was done
at the east end Of the road last year, for
goods, at lower prices than the same work
could formerly be done for money.

A Good Omen for sioux city.

During the past week quite number
Of pereons returned to Sioux City, who
went down the river several weeks ago in
quest Of better times, more work, aud
higher wages. After visiting St. Joseph
and all intermediate points, for the purpose
ct procuring employment, they have
learned that there is more genuine pros
perity, more money. and more employ.
ment, at better wages in Sioux City, than
10 any Of the down river towns. This is
a noteworthy fact, and one that should
engage the attention Of persons desiring
to settle in the West. While the late
financial revulsion, to a great extent, re-.
tarded the progress Of all western towns,
and stopped all advancement in many,
the position and natural advantages of
Sioux City were such that steady aud
healthy growth has been maintained
Our merchants have been doing a good
cash business; all branches of useful
industry have been comparatively prospe.
rous and orr city now offers superior in.
ducements to persons who desire to secure
homes in a healthy and invigorating eli
mate, where industry will meet with COM
mensurate reward.
I. is the greatest imaginable folly for
persons to go off to hunt employment as
day laborers at precarious wages, while
so handsome profit is yielded by the
tilling of the soil. Every man who is
willing to work, If he has not land of his
own, can hire it upon such terms as can
not fail to make it profitable. Corn is
easily raised, and at the present prices
$50 to Is cents per bushel makes large
return for the amount of labor and capi-
tai invested Our advice is, to those who
are here, stay where you are and 60 20
farming and to those who desire to be-
come citizens Of live country, come to
the Upper Missouri Valley.

still they Go.

During the past week quite number
Of teams have crossed the river at this
place bound for Pixies Peak. The most
of them come from Minnesota. As a gen
eral thing they were determined set Of
fellows, and fully decided to go to Pixies
Peak, gold or no gold.
A number Of "peaked Peakers" have
also passed through this place on their
way home. The returning ones bear the
appearance Of having seen the biggest
kind Of an elephant.
