Another Railroad.

We observe by the published proceedings
of the Illinois Legislature, on the oath ult.,
that Mr. Henderson introduced bill into the
lower House to incorporate "the Camden and
Muscatne r. r. Co." We Go not know who
arc the projectors of this road, or what are
the particular designs of the company, but
doubt not the enterprise will command the
aid of capitalists, and will be profitable to the
stockholders. The company, we presume,
designs constructing railroad from the line
Of the Chicago and Rock Island r. r. east of
Rock River, via Camden, to point opposite
this city. This road will afford a shorter
route to Chicago from this city, and the
country west Of it, than we now have, and
will consequently become an important thor
oughfare for travel, notwithstanding the
bridge at Rock Island. tits probably designed
to intercept portion of the travel which will
seek more direct eastern outlet from this
city by the projected Galcsburgh r. R., or
the Great American Central, should it be
diverted, as now contemplated, to the river
opposite this place.
1t is source Of congratulation among our
citizens that the commanding position of Mus
catine, with opportunities of railroad through
Iowa centoring hcr,, has arrested the attention
of the managers of railroads east of us, who
see the Importance Of connecting at this place
with the railroad system of iowa. The pros
poets of our city were certainly never more
flattering than at this time.

DOUGLAS WEAKNEss.-The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Press and
Tribune, under date of Jan. Goth, writes to
that paper as follows:
The most powerless man in the Senate ia
Mr.. Douglas. Hehas not the average personal
influence of member of his party. He has
been reduced to the ranks, and in that capacitv
is expected to serve till purged of his con.
tempt. 1t is folly to talk of his having been
broken down by combinations and conspira.
cles he broke himself down by seeking to
crawl back into the party, instead of standing
erect and maintaining his principles. Viii
the Democracy, who with him stood out
against the infamy of Lecompton, follow him
back to the depths of land-stealine. slave
trading, debt-making and debt-repudiatinp
Democracy? fnot, will they choose another
leader, and still bear aloft the banner of their
dependence? Or, will they incorporate them
selves with the Republican party? Broderick
says, as to an Independent organization, that
is hopeless and useless. He will do anything
to break down the insolence of the Southern
managers. 1t is pretty evident that the hon.
est and sincere men among the late Douglas
division of Democracy will join the Republi.
cans. John G. Davis, of Indiana, Hickman
and Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, H. F.
Clark, of New York, and McKibbin. of Cali.
fornia, will take that course.
