amount of that supply is now coming to hand.
The present price Of gold is based ON the SUPPOSE
tion that the next steamer win report lower quota

From letter received here from the Sec
Rotary of this company, we learn that the
Board of Supervisors Of johnson county has
given the company $4,000 acres Indemnity
and, and also voted 81, 5OOfrom the County
Treasury for incidental expenses in making
surveys, &c. The prospects Of The road,
which is to connect with our road eorth, are
very fattering. It will run through one Of
the finest portions Of our State, from Mount
Pleasant through Washington and Iowa City
to Cedar Rapids, thickly settled and well i'm
proved. The people along the line are able
to build it, and will doubtless do SO at an
early day. This connection with Keokuk and
| ST. Louis is by far the best that the citizens
Of the Iowa and Cedar River valley can ever
have, being more direct and more easily and
cheaply constructed than any other, while
here they reach the river below the rapids,
and have river competition hence to St Louis
for about ten months in the year.
| We are glad to find that the people in
those valleys are beginning to appreciate
these advantages and to abandon the expen-
sive and much longer route via the North
Missouri Railroad upon which we are informed
nothing is now doing except on the line to
Brunswick, Missouri. This road, when fin.
ished to Cedar Rapids, will give us connec-
ton with Dubuque by Railroad, and with the
road running to St. Paul
