MILWAUKEE,, April 3, 1852.
A trip from Chicago to Milwaukee cannot be
expected to afford mnny incidents worthy of
notice. 1t will convince any one, however, that
despite the "hard times" the towns along the
line of the Chicago and Milwaukee Railway arc
making satisfactory progresA Chittendcn, 1t il
now understood, is to be devoted to the pur-
poses Of Rose Hill Cemetery, and hence, moth
ing as Jet is doing there. Evanston looks bright
and beautiful as Broadway belle. On every
side arc csidenccs Of the taste and the thrift Of
happy suburban home.
The most conspicuous object ut Wynctka is
the 6nc residence Of onr former fellow citizen,
c. E. Peck, Esq, His grounds are beautifully
arranged, and in fen years more, when his
trees and shrubs hare had time 10 mature, he
will hare as near an earthly paradise as one
finds East or West. Buildings peer out an6ng
the trees ut various other points which We bad
not before noticed. Glencoe and Highland 1ark
also show marks Of steady progress.
In the number and character Of its improve
nents for the past few months, Lake Forest
takes the lcad Of all the other towns on the lnke
shore between Chicago and Mi!w aukcc. year
ago there was nothing there. Nov there Is
fine hotel, a depot, IN academy in successful
operation, md more than half a score Of neat,
comfortable dwellings arc seen nesting among
the trees. aud many more are in process Of con
s,ruction. Much Of this improvement Inns
been due to the indefatigablc c1ertions Of
or fellow citizen, Peter Page, Esq, to whom
the Association and the University have wisely
committed the management Of their affairs. lie
informed US that he is selling lots rapidly, with
tic inyariable condition to improve and build
upon them, and ut much better prices than
could be realised year ago. The prospect now
is, TINT all doubts entertained By 4 very few
over-cautous but worthy men, Of the trium-
rhant success Of the noble plans Of those who
laid out LIKE Forest, and founded Lind Un:ver-
sity, will be entirely dissipatcd during the pres
ent season. 4 mere inspection Of the grounds
would convince the most skeptical that provi-
dcnce designed these beautiful rayincs and this
venerable old forest rs the home Of one Of tile
leading scientific and religious institutions Of
tile West. 4 few short years will suffice to
make what now appears prediction, perhaps
doubtful one to few Of our readers, very
pleasing reality.
Waukegan, also, shows signs Of healthy pro-
gress. Tue beautiful grounds Of one Of oul

alion. 4 few years allowed for the growth Of
trees and flowers, will make his home fit for q
Prince, or better, that Of a republican Christian
gentleman.
Of our beautiful sister citics-kenosha and
Rac'ne-wc need not speak. They have been
too long aud too favorably known to notice Il
compliment at our hands.
business in Milwaukee is comparatively quiet.
We notice, however, many signs Of returning
prosperity. Just now, our neighbors are in
great glec over the opening Of the Detroit and
Milwaukee Railway. Our sister city will un-
tl"ubtcdiy derive advantages from this new
routc; but let no one fear that it can seriously
affect the business Of Chicago. Some freight
and some Passengers will be attracted to this
route; but the amount which our city would
gain By their transit, merely through her bor-
trrs, would be tue smallest possible item.
When ut Milwaukee Ut Detroit. with q flir
prospect Of good weather, passengers may de-
eide to cross tile lake; but the number who ut d
greater distance will take the risk Of finding
Lake Michigan in an angry nlood for single
t"liar, will ,be exceedingly small.
Another subject is deeply agitating portion
If the citizens of Milwaukee-we alludc to the
prospect that Rcv. z. u. Humphrey Of that city

Church in Chicago. I'VE comfortcd them by

Rather cold comfort " for those who are So
ardcntly and so justly attached to their worthy

submission to the necessities of wider field

OF one thing our Milwaukee friends are justly
proud. The Scwlsall House is one Of the
largest and in all respects one Of the best hotels
in the colntry- The sojourner cannot fail 10
