Ma. EDITOR: Having just returned from
New York and Philadelphia, which places We
visited on business conn ected with our Rail
road, we wish to report that the prospscis
are most favorable for the early completion
Of the road, and hence strong encourage
ments are presented to prosecute the work
with the utmost energy. Our line has been
adopted as part of the great midland through
route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
the interest felt in the construction, the as
surance of aid for this purpose, and the sec
ending of our efforts by the powerful associa-
tons forming the connecting lines East, will
be seen by the following extracts, showing
the action of prominent railroad parties,
herewith appended.
By recent arrangements we have perfected
our western as well as eastern connections,
and it only remains now for the people along
the line of cur road, who are vitality interest
ed 10 IFS completion, to come up in their
might, with the aid which they are able TO
give, to assure the early opening of this line,
anu mus ENJOY tue OtheHiS Oh one OIL the
most important roads in the West.
Our agents along the line report favorably
the renewed interest felt by the people
throughout the entire route in the success OF
this grea, enterprise, and we only add our de-
termination to push the work as vigorously
as possible. E. ROBINSON,

The STATE CONVENTION. All the Dele

day didn' go. And reasons enough, top, for
it. For. land travel by water, or water travel
by land-we don't know which is the proper
est way of putting the case when the land
seems IS at present, made for the purpose of
holding water. In any event it was no easy
going when railroads we're impassable and
streams uncrossable, and mud Questionable,
and roads untraversable, and rains
Unreasonable. And The record shows
that of all appointed from this county
the following was the list of delegates present
at the Convention B. s. Merriam, 8. NJ.

A. j. Wilkinson, W. R. Stewart, and Geo.

started Monday morning, and be got to Des
MONIES easily enough. So, too. had our
friend j. B. Morrison, who started the same
morning, taking with him charming young
wife, and there was no earthly or heavenly
reason why be should have any trouble in
getting to Des Moines And he didn't. But
the rest of US started Tuesday morning rim
burlington. That noon, just off the coast of
Fort Madison, our steamer, .New Boston =,
went into magnificent storm Of wind and
rain, and the concomitants in this electrical
season. And the storm went into our steamer
beating her down the river for mile or more.
Then It thought better Of treating anything
feminine in that way-even q steamfhler-
and the storm scudded away up the river ID 4
riotous, nad-cap, rollicking old way. The
steamer went after the storm. And General
Psrrett, who had come to Iowa more Years
ago than some Of us had lived, looked ont ove,
the old landmarks and told the most enter.
tanning, not old sailor, but old soldier, stories
of early Hawkeye life. Then We were At
burlington, and at midnight in Ottumwa in a
rain as bountifully bran new q though il
hadn't been raining almost necessarily since
we had started, and for days previous.
At noon Wednesday We started npon the
