Iowa and Chicago.

A letter in the Chicago Times, which
the Galeua Adrertiser understands to
be from A. p. Richardson, Of McGreg-
or, says:
Our railroad interests here are
getting out Of Joint. The Milwaukee
and Prairie du CHEN railway has done
a big thing for the past year or two,
and the present directors have forgot
ten their friends. TO accommodate
the north of Prairie du CHEN, and to
locate n village or two in Iowa, it is
decided to move the expensive ware
house aud depot buildings from the
lower town, present locality to Col.
Dousmans upper town, two or two
and half miles up the river from Nc
| Grcgor, and to form railroad conncc-
ton with Iowa at the mouth of Paint
Creek, some ten miles north of the
line of road already surveyed and
graded twelve G,iles) from McGreg-
or. The Particulars of this sudden
change in policy l will odvise your
readers of in short time suffice it
now that our business will now be
done via Dunleith to Chicago. and III
timately via Prairie du CHEN by rail
to Mineral Point, and thence to Chica-
go direct. The business of McGreg-
or has been immensely beneficial to
Milwaukee, but it seems that city has
too little life to retain it. The OPEN
ing of spring navigation will see our
| produce travelling southwark to Chi
cago dy Dunleith, and but short
time will clapsc till McGregor, the
heaviest produce mart from st. Louis
to St. Paul, will pour her wealth OF
trade into the Garden City"
We do not believe the Milwaukee
and Prairie du CHEN Railroad Compa-
ny will withdraw any of the facilities
for doing business with McGregor and
the rich and extensive country west
of there. This trade is too valuable
to be in the least neglected Tha,
| the Company should desire to increase
their business by opening up new av
cnues of trade is quite natural, and j
they do so who has right to com
plain of it? On the contrary, let u
congratulate them upon their enter
prise and success. That the business
of McGregor will go via Dunleith t
, Chicago, no one need for momen
believe. The increased distance i
decidedly against it. The fling a
Milwaukee, for a want of life, is IN
worthy Of the writer and lily comport
with the former laudations Of that cit,
from the same pen, and is undescrvcd

Vote for G. W. Howard.

We understand that a movement is
on foot to endeavor to elect Senator
in this District on pretended Union
platform. 1t is not to be done openly ::
not by any means for all sensible
men know that there are but two par
ties, the loyal and disloyal, aud that
all pretended Unionism outside of the
Republican organization, is downright
hypocrisy, Let the voters be on their

man cannot be found in the Dis.

SO evenly balanced that we are all in
a quandary upon the subject until he
