i @e OSKALoosA. Iowa, June 7, 1866.
The Board of Directors Of the lows
Central Railroad have just adjourned
The meeting has been one of great in
tersst and encouragement to all present
Fortune favors us! srr.F
Much work has been done in Appa
moose and Monroe counties since oul
last meeting. Many important meas
ures to get the road in running order al
soon as men and money can accomplish
it were adopted. To-day 1t looked much
like work to sec the contractors busy al
work among the directors.
We had ten bids in for the eighteen
miles in Black Hawk and Tama coun-
ties. The gentlemen bidding were
Messrs. Hydel & Hallett, from the Pacific
Railroad, residing at Independence,
Iowa; J. H. Lucky, of Manchester
l.. r. Carroll, from the Pacific Railroad,
resident of Marshalltown f. Barton,
Of Abba, Monroe county, contractor on
the Burlington & Missouri River Rail-
road; Henry Chase, of Toledo; VIM.
Mccoy, of Cedar Falls; J. Thompson,
of Toledo; J. b. Goodfellow, Of Black
Hawk county; Parrick Longendon, and
Patrick Longendon & Co. The contra ct
was given to l.. II. Corroll Of Marshall
town. Messrs. Smith, Graham and the
writer meet at Toledo on Saturday next
to close the contract. 's
General Agent Barnum has done good
work in Appanoose and Monroe coun-
ties, having all the right Of way in the
former-twenty-f milcs-and about
half in the latter, together with stock
subscriptions for nearly all the money
required. The Supervisors Of Appa-
moose, Monroe, and Mahnskn counties
appropriated $4,000 frem each county
for the surveys. A Committee was APP
pointed to Immediately let the contract
from the terminus of the North Mis-
souri, Railroad to Abba, in Monroe
county, distance of thirty-ive miles.
VIM. I. Smith, A. D. Barnuln, and the
writer constitute the committee.
The Board also directed Capt. Tracy,
Chief Engineer, to make up another
corps Of engineers (being the third and
commence and finish the survey from
Eddyville to north line of Mahaska
county Immediately, so that we may
put the entire line under contract, with |
the exception Of Poweshiek county
and hope the surveys in that county
may soon be completed.
Our articles Of incorporation were
SO rs to extend our road from
Cedar Falls to the State line on the
North thus our road will stretch over
The entire length of the State, connect
ng on the South with the North Mis-
ouri Railroad, and on the North with
he Minnesota Central Railroad.
There were many other things of i'm
,ortance attended to of which I have
lot time to write. / am now off for
Davenport, Burlington and Keokuk-

Governor Stone in Missouri.

When it was announced that Cover
nor Stone had consented to take the
stump in Missouri in support of the
Radical ticket, the Dubuque Herald
and papers of like political complexion
were very funny over the prospective
castigations in store for him at the
hands of Blair, Rollins, and other
champions of the Conservative politics
Of our neighboring State. Now that
the reports Of these castigations are
coming in, the Herald and its kindred
find no joy in giving them publicity,
from the simple fact that Gov. Stone is
not the man who is being withered."
Governor Stone is establishing good
reputation for himself in the canvass in
Missouri, and rendering great assistance
to the cause he SO ably and eloquently
defends. He spoke at Macon on the 5th,
at st. Joseph on the 7th, and at Chilli
Gothic at a subsequent date. We have
read reports of the Governors speeches
at these places, which are commented
upon in the highest terms of praise by
the press of Missouri In regard to his
speech at st. Joseph, the Missouri Den,-
ocrat says: H.. .....s..
Lieutenant Governor Smith presided,
and introduced Governor Stone, who
was received with three rousing cheers.
After announcing friendly feeling from
the Hawk-Eye State to Missouri, and
passing deserved eulogy on both the
1 nd II L.,
passed to the discussion of the great
questions of the day.
About this time Gen. Blair and few
friends came into the hall.
The Governor had proceed but mo-
ment, when he stilled the massive au-
dience with wrapt attention, which he
held during the delivery Of his speech,
which lasted two hours and a half
The doctrine of my policy" was han
died with master hand, and the Con-
servatives present WINGED under the
logic and sarcasm of the Iowan, while
the audience applauded with enthusi-
asm frequently rising to their feet ana
cheering.
On tho question of reconstruction and
impartial suffrage he spoke the true
sentiments Of the Union party, and re-
ceived positive evidence of appreciation

thoroughly fiayed than were the Con
servatives.
\ If Blair is susceptible of sensitivness
he must have felt ashamed of himself
He will not seek further to meet Gov
Stone in debates. "
The Governor retired. Three cheer.
were given for him and for Iowa.
The success of Gov. Stone thus ia,
has been great, and the Union men O
Missouri will remember him with tn,
warmest sentiments of friendship.

A CITIZEN OF IOWA CITY.

IT is time, we think, that the call for
the Congressional Convention in this
Dist. was made. The Com. Is DIR. Sheldon
G. Winchester of Hardin county; Chas.
Pomeroy of Boone county; Martin H.
Moore of Black Hawk county; Daniel
ID. Chase of Hamilton county and Dr.
VIM. r. Smith of Woodbury. county.
Mr.. Moore is now Of Dubuque, and we
understand that DR.. Smith has remov-
ed from the District. We should like
to have the Convention called to meet
at Iowa Falls, as we think the delegates
of the District would be better accom-
modated at that point than at any 9TH

A despatch dated Des Moinss, 9th,
says: "Taylor county has elected q
delegation pledged to Gen. Dodge for
Congress. Cass county is also for Dodge.
There is hardly doubt but that Kas-
son will be defeated. Warren county,
which will almost certainly go for
Dodge. holds her convention to-day,
and will decide the question:

IT now seems quite certain that Mr..
Kasson will not be returned to Con-
gress in the Fifth District. At last ac-
counts there were seventy-onc delegates
pledged against him out of the whole
number Of one hundred and thirty-six.
Gen. Dodge will probably be nominal

is also our own Member, Mr.. Hubbard.

In the Republican ward meetings il

In the Republican ward meetings in
Davenport, OH the 9Th, three wards
unanimously elected delegates for the
Hon. II. Price, the present member OF
Congress, In the other three wards,
$40 votes We're polled for Price, to 50
against. Scott county will be unani-
nous for Price. The Mnscatine and
Jones county conventions, held on the
Sth, elected Price delegates throughout.
Clinton county did the same on 9th.
This secures Mr.. Prices denomination
and indicates an emphatic opposition
to the Presidents policy.

Cedar Falls Compared with other Towns
and Cities.

Iowa CITY, June Sth, 1865.
Correspondence Of the Cedar Falls Gazette.
Mr.. EDITOR During my peregri-
nations for some time past, have had
an opportunity to make some careful
observations in several principal towns
and cities in Iowa, and have arrived at
the conclusion that Cedar Falls has not
been ovcrrated even by its most ardent
friends. "..-... ..-. "t
Beyond doubt, the watcr-power at
your place Is unequalled in the State
1t is also well supplied with timber
probably better than any other locality.
Lime and stone for building purposes
are found there in great abundance.
1t is generally conceded at various
points in the State, that the Iowa Cen
trail Railroad will soon be completed
through Cedar Falls. This, in addition
to the roads now in operation, will most
certainly give Cedar Falls prominence
equalling, at least, any other city in the
State.

The positions of those who maintained that the

organized the only question was the admission OF
their representatives Congress should act separ-
ately on the cases from each district, and admit
those Who can take the oath. We have to live with
the South, and good policy, as we'll as patriotism

WRONG CREDIT.

Fame is hardly worth having unless the proper
authorship is attributed by those who cater for the
public A few weeks ago the Intelligence e1erted
itself to give the Mills House decent puff, and
our friends of the Greenrille Mountatneer have
copied the same as emanating from the Anderson
Gazette, which journal has been defunct for sew
eral years. We hope our cotemporary will not
deem us captious about small matters, but really
it is annoying to find ones productions attributed
to another, and that other deceased member OF
the craft. 1t would be provoking indeed, if a man
should fall in furious battle, and the fame of his
prowess and deeds heralded to he world as those
of comrade We reverse this case, however, and
are not willing TO become q pensioner upon the
reputation of worthy journal now extinct.
