New Railways in Iowa.
Correspondent of the New-York Times. J

Extensive Railroad enterprises are now
being pushed forward in Iowa and Minneso-
ia, with a view of opening up the rich lands
and developing the vas. resources in those
States. The Dubuque and Sioux City Rail-
road, connecting with the Illinois Central and
Galena and Chicago Union Roads, will soon
be completed to Cedar Falls, in Iowa. At
this point the Cedar Falls and Minnesota
Railroad, from Cedar Falls to the State line
of Minnesota, is under contract to ERAsTUs
EDGERToN & Co., of New Y ork, for the sum
of 81 .025 000 This Road is seventy-five
miles long, traverses the course Of the Cedar
River, which cuts through one Of the rich
est valleys in the State, and terminates at
Otranto, at the State line of Minnesota, there
connecting with the Cedar Valley and Min

st. Paul. Already the grading on the Cedar

and a substantial bridge, spanning the Ce-
dar River at that point, is nearly finished -

Telegraph to Cedar Falls and Marion.

One OF the wants of Dubuque, and one
that it should not be long without supplying,
is telegraph line along the Dubuque and
Sioux City and Dubuque Western Roads,
Had such line been constructed and in
operation during the three months past, these
Roads would have probably saved many
thousand dollars, to say nothing of the adj
vantage it would have been to business men
in the grain and pork trade, both here and
along the line Of these Roads. The cost of
putting up the line would not be great deal
for the Railroad companies to bear, espec-
tally when it is likely that by constructing
the work at first, they could, make advanta-
geous arrangements for the use of a telegraph
as would far more than compensate them for
the original outlay, with interest added
The fact is, that no Railroad route should do
without a telegraph line, even if there were
not other business to sustain it. In respect
to the line which we suggest to Cedar Falls
and to Marion, and thence farther along in
due time as the Railroads progress westward,
there would be considerable business to be
done as soon as the line should be completed.
1t would be convenience of incalculable
advantage to business men here and to the
many enterprising and thriving towns which
would thus be brought in speaking distance
of each other; and though the line might
probably not pay expenses at the outset, its
advantages nevertheless, would far more
than counterbalance any pecuniary loss
which would be incurred. BY means of
such line along the Railroads, trains Of cars
running to inevitable destruction could be
signaled of the danger they might be APP
preaching. and thus, destruction to life, to say
nothing of the loss of property, could often
be averted and prevented ...z
One such effect as this would be worth
what it would cost to put up the line, and
keep it in operation till business increased
sufficiently to make it pay. VI ~ea
We have now done our part in calling the
attention of the Railroad companies and
business men to this interesting matter, and
we trust they will lose no timc- in taking it
into consideration. The result will doubt
less be the construction of the proposed tel.
egraph line.-Dubuque Herald.

moved to amend Mr. FosrER's resolution b,
striking out all after the word Whereas
and insert: +" 1t is understood that the State
Of Texas has secccded from the Union, ard il
no longer one the United States; therefore
Resolced That Texas entitled to be represcnte,
in this body. #
Senator WIGFALL not being in his seat, tht
resolution was permitted TO lie over till Mon
day the 18th, when the Senate again took il
under consideration. Mr.. FOSTER stated thai
he had offered the resolution neither as .
party or personal question, but had acted ii
accordance with his duty, considering the
avowal Of the Senator. He said the Senate
owed to itself not to allow seat here to one
who avowed he was foreigner and owed nc
allegiance to the country. Mr.. Foster OBJ
jected to CLINGNAN's substitute, because il
admitted the right of secession. He hello
that the Senator was entitled to seat on the
same Constitutional grounds, whether Texas
would seccdc or not; that State by with
drawing from the Union could not withdraw
him from that body. .-.s. AZ
Mr. CLINGMAN replied to Mr. FOSTER that
if the accounts were true Texas had called a
Convention and passed an ordinance Of Sc.
ccssion which had been ratified by the peo-
pie and if the act was valid Texas was no Ion
ger one ofthe States, and took it for granted, il
Texas secceded she is not entitled to Rep.
resentativc here. Mr.. CLINGMAN contended
that if secession is invalid, as Mr. FOSTER
maintained, then the Senator from Texas is
entitled to a seat, unless an erroneous opin-
ion disayails him. ... .-. g..
Thus the discussion continued for some
time-it being maintained on one side that
Senator WIGFALL is not entitled to seat in
the U. S. Senate because of his repeated dec
larations that he is citizen of a foreign
power, and therefore doe snot owe allegiance
to the government Of the United States, while
on the other side it was contended that he is
not entitled to a seat because his State had
seeded from the Union and consequently can
have no representation in that body. On
the 18th Mr.. FosTEn's resolution, together
with Mr.. CLINGMAN's substitute, was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
Whether Mr.. WIcFALL is entitled to seat
in the Senate or not, we will not pretend to
say, but certainly, something ought and
could be done to put stop to his reasonable
avowals upon the floor Of the United States
Senate

Fort Sumter.

An official letter received at the War De
partment, on the 9th inst, from Major An
DERsoS, reporting that he had only fiflecr
days substance and wood. The question has
therefore arisen with the Administration
whether reinforcement be attempted or the
fort abandoned. The latter course it is
thought, will be adopted BY the advice Of
Lieut. Gen. SCOTT There is, however, a
conflict Of opinion between Republicans on
this subject, but no conclusion has been ar.
rived at in Cabinet counsel.
Dispatches from Washington up to the
18th inst, contain nothing official upon this
important subject. We cannot believe that
the Administration will abandon Fort Sum.
