IOWA RAILROAD MATTERS.
Prospects Of thc Galcna & Chicago
IN Tni1n hoad-A Hint to the Kip Van


DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. %, 1863.
The Galcna g. Chicago Union Railroad, bet
ter known hero as the Marshalltown route or
Cedar Rapids road, is now running its trains
to State Centre station, forty three miles from
this place. By the 1st Of january the Com
pany promises to hare its cars running to
Nevada, but thirty miles from Desmoines.
The II. d II. r. r. is completed only to
Grinnell, fifty fire miles from here, and prom
ises to be through to Newton, thirty-Aye
miles distant, some time in the course OF next
year. The Keoknk, Desmoines g. Minnesota
Road is waiting at Eddyvil1e, seyenty-hve
miles from Us, where 1t w'as two years ago.
There is no tangible evidence that the latter
road will move this way for two years to
come. This road is represented here by q
very efficient agent, Mr.. H. G.. Pease,
whose efforts for the last. year and
half, have secured to it o
large portion of the travel and freight
from Central Iowa. The II. d N. and the
kcokuk md Burlington Roads have until
very recently been the fayorite, and in. fact
the only routes East patronfzed by the busi-
ness men and people. generally Of Central
Iowa, either for freight or travel; and the
Cedar Rapids Road. as It is called, has been
looked upon with dIsfnyor. But the superior
energy and enterprise of the latter company
for the last two years have not only rcyolu-
tfonized the feelings Of the people, but are
fast divcrting the travel and transportation
to and from here from the other routes to the
Galena and Chicago Union Road. Distance
becomes an important item to traveller
when his conveyance is stage coach; and
to freIghters Of goods and merchandise when
they arc under the necessity Of paying high
prices for wagoning and waiting a long time
Tor teams-ana there il besides the consider
alton Of enhanced expenses in both cases.
Under the operation Of nil these influences,
it is easy to see that slight or even strong par
tialitics md prcjudices will givew to views
of economy in money and time, and the
convenience Of the party interested, and that
that the. Chicago and Galena Railroad will
soon have all our travel and freighti1ig busi-
ness until the Rip auWinkles Of the other
companies wake up and put spurs to their
enterprise; and that the n. i II. and the
Kcokuk roads, with all their connections,
will have, for time, to bid farewell to tho
profits Of transporting freight and passengers
to.aud from Central and Western Iowa. The
enterprise Of Colonel Hooker and the mana
gers generally Of the Western Stage Compa-
ny, enables travellers to come through to Des-
moines from the western terminus Of the Co.
dar Rapids road In little more than six
hours. It is quite possible TINT within the
next year the thirty miles between here and
Ncrada will be taken forever from the em-
pfrc Of Btagecoaches, and made easy By a
branch road connecting with the Cedar Rap
Ids road, or that that road may diyergc to
this place. Thus much on railroads, that tho
world may know the facts. TRUE.

TRE CANNON TAKEN.


It is singular fact in the history Of this
war that most Of the large guns taken from
the enemy have fallen to single COM
mand. Nearly all Of Grants movements
have yielded him guns Along the
Mississippi river he has gathered
them with amazing luck Colum-
bus, Island No. 10, Memphis, and
Vickshurg, and perhaps other places
not remembered, have given him ordnance.
Donelson turned him over enough to start
a small shop in the trade. In the chase to
the 1ear Of Vicksburg, wherever he could
catch rebel General, he caught his cannon
By the time he had reached the town he
had captured eighty pieces Of field artille-
ry.- When the town capitulated he got
one hundred more, Of all sizes. At Chat
tanooga he is in luck once more. Sixty
pieces reward the endeayor, though Hook.
er was not quite quick enough for those
66-pounders on Lookout Mountain.
Is il mere luck? or is there an underly-
ing philosophy which Determines the
luck? Very few Of our other generals
have taken many guns. Farragut, it's
true, did fine ordnance business at New
Orleans; Banks got few at Port Hudson;
Dupont some at Hilton Head, and Burn
side some in North Carolina. a number
,wuc taken, too, by some commander with
Norfolk. Elsewhere our successful cam
paigns, even, have not yielded US much in
this line. The Potomac Army have lost far
more than they have gained. The great
victory at Gettysburg, with all the hard
work Of that splendid cavalry force, only
yielded three small pieces, although the
New York Herald, or some other Mum
chausenist reported that we had taken
eighty OF hundred. But Grant must have

NEW YORK FIUNICIPAL ELEC-
TI0N.

Quite triangular contest came of at
the New York municipal election on Tues
day Last. There were three candidates run
for Mayor: Boole, the regular copperhead
candidate, and iavorite Of the Irish "dc-
mocracy" Gunther, independent, Of War
Democratic politics, and the favorite Of the
Germans, and Blunt, the candidate of the
Republican organization. However, q
large number Of the latter helped to bring
ont and supported Gunthcr, believing that
Blunt could not be elected, and that Boole,
the chief Of the ring" aud captain Of the
forty thieves" must be defeated. The
election was very animated, and the vote
cast was some 10000 larger than at the
State election month previous. The re-
suit was as follows:
Boole. copperhead, and Irish candIdate:... s,5s1
Gnnthet. War Dem. and German candidate. 29,0:6
Blunt, Straight Republican ~, ,Aao
At least 6,00e Republicans voted for
Gunther-enough to have elected Blunt
had they stuck to their own man, but
Gunther may makea good Mayor. Neither
the peace sneaks like Wood, nor the rob-
hers Of the ring" can use him"
