4 line Of telegraph will be built and In
operation through the State of Iowa, from the
NiEtitaippi River to Council Bluffe, within
few weeks-certatn1y by Christmas. We are
not sure whether 1t will run from Davenport
via Iowa City to Des Molnes, and thence to
the Missouri River; or start at Lyons City,
following the Iowa aud Nebraska Railroad to
Cedar Rapids, and thence to Des Mofnes BY
way OF Newton. But We learn that the poles
are provided for the whole distance from Des
Mosnes to Council Bluff, 155 miles, and the
hol.s dug On most Of the route. Considerar
bic work his also been done on the eastern
section between Des Molncs and the Missfs-
sippL When this line is completed, 1t will
become the inxin line for the receipt and
transmission Of te1egraphic messages to Call
fornia. Passing through 3 perfectly loyal and
civilized State like Iowa, that route will nee
eEsa1ily be safer and preferable to route
through secession and disturbed country.
Chicago is the great commercial way point
between New York and San Francisco, and Il
the focus OF a great net work Of telegraph

upon the Chicago press for what they con-
slider neglect Of the merits Of the Seventh

uze al the credit by Illinois troops. The COM
plaint Is too trivial and too baseless to be 10
rioutly considered, but Ne beg our Iowa
friends not to be led sstrsy by their own
6emagogues who would fill them with such
upgeneroua thoughts. illinois, from one end
to the other, has 1uDg With the praisa Of the

localities, no attempt haa been made and no
intention hs1bored to rob the gallant Hawk
eyes Of their full share In the glory of that
ED day. The Iowa press do wrong to Illinois
in this thing We only hope the Iowa people
