MEssRs EDITORS: The 4th of July, the
anniversary of our great nations birth,
we suppose was celebrated everywhere
with an earnestness and affection for
those sacred recollections that cluster
around our national ensign unfclt per
haps in the last four years. The old flag
again floats from the Potomac TO the Rio
Grande, from the gulft the lakes on onr
northern frontier. Peace, order, and re-
spect for the Constitution and laws ev-
erywhere mark the onward march of a
country whose banner is universally rev.
erenced because universally feared Our
glorious old ship has been on trial She
rode amid darkness and tempests on the
bosom of a turbid ocean for four years,
sometimes seemingly alone and fnrsaken,
but on the 10th of April the breakers
lashed the shore for the last time in de-
fiance of the vessel that bore the privi-
leges, rights and liberties of a people
worthy, rorthy descendants Of that con-
stellation of statesmen that did honor to
themselves and the age in which they
lived. We believe at every place Of note
in our country re DAY was celebrated

that marks the rapid passing away Of
those antipathies and feuds which have
been so comman in our country.

Convention in this city Canada is well
represented and the representations from

favorable to an extension of the Canadian

The Cedar VALLEY Trade.

Few people have proper idea OF
what the Dubuque and Sioux City Rail.
road Company is doing for this city
by the extension of the road up the
Cedar Valley from Waterloo. 1t is
already completed to WaverIy, and it
is 10 be hoped another year will see
it in working order to Charles City,
thirty miles beyond its present termi-
nus. That will take it within twenty
five miles of the Minnesota line. and
will Bring to us large trade which
now finds an outlet by way of the
McGregor Road. The trade upon the
direct line of the river now goes most
ly to WaverIy, though not wholly so.
Better prices have been paid for wheat,
it is claimed, at Connover and Calmar,
than at Waverly, fact owing, it is
said, to better shipping facilities than
the Sioux City Road has been able TO
furnish, owing to the immense amount
of business it has had to do with its
present stock. For this reason some
farmers have gone from the West side
OF the Cedar for thirty-fve or forty
miles to the McGregor Road, though
these have been exceptional cases.
III the trade, however, on the east side
OF the Cedar to within short distance
of the river goes wholly to that road,
and is lost to Waverly and Dubuque.
The completion Of the Cedar Valley
Road, however, to Nashua and Charles
City will remedy all this. 1t will Sc
cure all the trade from the middle por-
tion of Chickasaw and all of that from
Floyd counties with a portion of that
from Howard and all Of that of Mitch
ell, to say nothing of great deal from
over the Minnesota bofder-much Of
the larger portion of which is now lost.
The upper Cedar Valley is, without
any exception, one of the richest ag-
ricultural sections in Iowa, and is fast
filling up with an Industrious and hard
working population, which, in few
years, will make that what the Gene
see Valley Of New York now is. The
enterprise of the railroad company will
make all this directly tributary to Du-
buqne 1t will bring to us much OF
that trade which now goes to McGreg |
or, and add much from the fertile prair-
les that stretch away to the west, and
which now seeks other outlets. .-DH
