A company of q S. engineers, detailed
by Gen Wilson, under the authority of the
Secretary of War, are now engaged in q re i,
survey of the canal extension TO Rock
Islai d. We understand it is their purpose
to make u complete survey of the main line
and feeder to Dixon. They commenced at
Hennepn and are now near Sheffield
They expect to complete the work in about
six weeks. 1t is understood that the Gov
eminent works at Rock Island make it
desirable in a national point of view to
open this channel. So what looks discour
aging as a state enterprise, may vet be done
by Uncle Sam.-Princton Republican.
Very shurely are the immense advantages
of our location and of the establishment OF
the Government Works at this point making
themselves felt and will bring more bene-
fitted than the most sanguin of Us have
dared to hope for. Nature has done much
Tor us. Uncle Sam has done q great deal
and the rest must be done by ourselves.

RIVER NEws.-The Phil Sheridan went
up and the Molhe McPike down this morn
ing.
To morrow morning the Dubuque will be
up and the Rock Island down.
The river is on stand, with a good
stage of water,
There ia now a project on foot among the
wealthy steam bostmen TO build at St. Louis
An immense steam barge, with machinery
sufficiently powerful to drive two iron
screws or propellers. Those who are inter
ested in this project contemplate building a
craft with carrying capacity of about
!. 500 to 1000 tons This barge will be
without any accom- mod atoms for passengers,
but with all necessary conveniences for the
officers and crew. Such boat would be an
experiment, but an experiment which, if
proved to be a success, would, within a very
few years, revoiutioDize our entire system OF
river transportation. Steamboatmeh will
await the result of the experiment with
great interest.

his Davenport operations upon the oseiVle

exciting (?) game was witnessed by large
crowd of Davenporters and Rock Islanders
at the Scott county Fair Grounds, between
the "No Names" of Davenport, and the
Forest City" club of Rockford-the first
amateurs and the latter professionals. The
challenge originated with the former club
not with the expectation of victory, but
simply through q desire to see the crack
playing of the Rockford boys. The game
resulted, of course, In favor of the latter
club, the score standing at the close -
Rockford 80. to Davenport 8. The playing
exhibited by the champions was pronounced
