TUsKEY.-This old empire is gradually
giving way before the march of modern
change and progression; the Russo- French
and African war against her had terrible
effect in undermining Turkish customs. -
We say against her, because the defence of
her made by the French and English lead
to such an interchange Of thoughts and
customs between the liberal soldiery of the
one side and the stiff backed jansarics Of
the other that the Turks, even with victory
on their side, came out of the fight defeat
ed people in their domestic habits and their
religious" traditions This fact however,

The Railroad.

u Ac HANhil o0Ns
1t will be seen by the "Notice" in our
advertising columns that the McGregor and
Missouri River Railroad Company have sold
that portion of their franchise extending
from this place to Clermont, to the North
Iowa Company. John Thompson is Presi-
dent and Il. Dwight Vice President. AS
our readers West are deeply interested in
this movement, we give them briefly the
terms of the transfer so far as they are made
public.
The new company is to finish the road to
Cermont and have it in operation by De-
cenber, 1861. When the old Co. construct
their road west of Clermont the new Co.
will pay them 10 per cent. on all business
brought to the N. Iowa Road. The new
Co. propose to stock the west end or Nc
Gregor and Mo. portion Of the line, with
locomotives and rolling stock and to pay the
old Co. so per cent. Of the gross receipts, or
the old Co. can operate their road them
selves. 1t is also proposed by the olu Co.
to construct their road oiu West Union,
Fredericksburg, Bradford, St. Charles City
and Rockford to the west line of Cerro Cor
do count. AS the county and individual
subscriptions west have been large, it will
require but small amount of additional
stock, added to a grant Of the swamp lands
of the counties interested, to make up the
amount which a responsible Eastern Co.
will demand to build their road. There are
nearly 100000 acres of swamp lands in
these counties, and these lands are worth
but little without a railway. The Northern
Iowa Co. intend to complete their line to
New Oregon during the season Of 1851. I,
is told us that this Co. have already pur.
chased track iron to the value of $780, geo,
that they have paid s3l 900 in cash to the
Directors Of the old Company in the pur.
chaze Of the east end of the line, and that
they are abundantly able to push this great
enterprise through to immediate completion
provided they are cordially seconded by tie
countcnance and reasonable aid Of those
whose landed and village property are abou,
to be so Immensely enhanced in value.
Enough for the present. Now throw up
your hats, We western farmers and give a
No. 'Hurrah!' Let the holidays be /;
Sabbath Of rejoicing to you!
