PKocREsS or THE FEUERAL

The death struggle between the federal
and secession armies is approaching. For
usit d win nov, or vim never If the
stars and stripes DO not Acat over the
South in sixty days. there is too much
reason TO fesr that the land Of sunshine
and treason will bs lost to rs forever. We
think Gen. Mcclellan and the government
feel and know this. Hence the haste -
the strong bold s,roke-,he ~tireless energy
the Onward rush at every vulnerable
point. The design is TO strike quick, and
now, at the very hear. Of the rebellion,
and crush It utterly. C..ot !
Thus far, every breeze brings US news
o.. victory. But the granite wall between
northern hope and its frui,ion stands i'm.
penstrable still. Every inch Of ground is
contested, and the blood Of our brave
men stains every rood Of conquered
ground. "
A few days hence, however, and the as
pect Of affairs may be changed-changed
permanently for the better. The grand
army moves on persistently, every face
toward the gulf, and apparently must over.

We infer from the tone of our exchan.
ges from the eoun y along this road, that
tie people Of Northwestern Iowa will be
disappointed in their expectations Of bav.
ing this road extended to the Missouri
river under its present management. lis
SOW asserted that the Company has aban
doned the idea Of attempting to extend
the road beyond Cedar Falls; tha. they
will stop there, and by black mailing have
the entire land grant confirmed TO them,
and compel the West 10 seek . railroad

Company, according to the evidence Of per
sons who have good opportunities Of post.
inc themselves upon the affairs Of the
road, and as will be seen BY the financial
report Of the Company which we copy into
to.day's Register, has been making large
profits, which, instead Of being applied to
the e~xten.ion Of the road, have been ap
propriastd to the private tenef. Of the
members Of the corporation. If these
things are true. the mana. cmsnt, or rather
misnanagemens, Of tie road should be
taken out Of the hands of the present
Company. The Legislature has the right,
and !. is its duty, TO see that the murii.
cent grants Of .ani which the general gov.
ere has made 10 this State to assis.
in tho construction Of Railroads, should
be made to contribute to tie benefit Of The
people Of the State a. large, and not be
monopolized and absorbed BY u few "shar.

CONDITION OF THE DUBUQUE 4
SIOUX ClTI II. n. COMPANY.

The Second Annual Report Of the Dl,
buIue & Sioux City Railroad Com pany
has been just made 10 the Stockholders,
who me, Yesterday fer the election Of q
Board of Directors.
The Renort OF the President, Edward
S,imson, Esq, is brief, he having held the
office bu, for IA few months bu; i, embra.
ces I've or three facts Of much Importance
TO the stockholders, As Cor instance, that
since his assuming the Presidency a con.
siderable amount OF back pay has been
liqniiated, rs a'so payments made r?on
Old debts.
The President tells The stockholders,
whe, they will rrobal " perceive to be
true. that they have paid TOO little atten
ton to the valuable property which they
Own.
The Report Of the Superintendent Is a
comprehensive statement Of the condition
Of the Road and ether property Of :he
Company, aud Of the earnings and expon,
SEES Tor the curren. year.
The following extract Of the Snrsr;n
tendent's i.rpor. is Of SO mach general
interest tina. We give it place in the
Herald.
EARN sGs, EXPENSE, TRAINS, MILES, ETC.
The gross earnings for the year from all
SOURCES are Sl99,4 lO II, While The expen-
ses actually paid are 1913 o., to which
should be added ABOUT five thousand dol.
lars Tor depreciation t.! rails during the
year. THIS will leave Il net gain of SJ4,.
G790l. The lack of adequate motive
power has caused rs to lose from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars worth Of business.
The train miles during the year were
l01,6l1. This shows very fair earnings
for the miles ran, nearly 81 s. per mile
while the ex penses have been 30 cents per
mile, which compared with the average Of
other roads, is quite satisfactory.
The yearly earnings Of the road have
bsei as follows:
Year. Earnings. Increase over last year.
1858 $" $40 s.
1889 $3.50
1850 12ltt,5 e5 SCI a05 70
1861 l9s, i.n II 1881 l6
The bushes. and productions OF the
country naturally tributary to our line. are
increasing rapidly. think | may fairly
estimate the gross earnings Of 1862 at not
less than $500. 900 aud the net earnings
at about $4,000.
From all the Reports Of the officers Of
the Road We gather the conclusion that the
property is OF far more value ,han it is
generally supposed to he. and that the
stockholders ought henceforth to De in re
ceipt Of dividends on their stock.
The estimated surplus earnings of $780,.
600 for the current year would 20 far to.
wards paying II very satisfactory income
on the stock of the Company, and this is
due to the Stockholders, many Of whom
are suffering fur want Of it.
The new Directory will. however, take
all these things into consideration. II is
for them 10 say whether or not this valua-
Sic property shall be productive Of general
benefit TO the public and remuneralive to
those who have invested their money in il,
or whether it Shai. continue to he u mere
source of profit t, II few individuals. us it
was up to a very recent period. The pub.
lie as we'll as the more Immediately inter
ested owners are therefore concerned in
what action the Directors will take in the
future management Of the Road Dnbm.
