OUR DUBUQUE VISITORS.
The Rol-Cau Of the Excursion.
Meeting at the Gardner House--Reso-
1utions.

Our sister city Dubuque, turned loose IN our
streets yesterday fine looking regiment OF
business men. They came to celebrate thelf
new connection with Chicago, by way OF CLINTON
and the Northwestern Railway. To Chicago al
well as to both Dubuque and Clinton, the open
ing Of this road is an event Of great Importance
connecting both the latter cities (when fnished)
with Lake Superior, st. Paul and the great
Northwest. This connection is now complete,
with the exception of q link Of thirteen miles,
between LII Crescent and Winona, and that Will
be completed by the 4th of December, open-
ing for Chicago new route to Minnesota and
Northern Iowa and the upper Missouri region.
OF course, our visitors we're astonished, but
new comers here always fall so far behind our
own citizens in astonishment at this seasou's
work that it leaves no words for strangers to e1-
press themselves. The List of our visitors is
worth publishing, as the ron-cau contains many
names known to the trade Of our city. The
new road has been built by these men to reach
Chicago and secure the advantage Of Compel
ing route for freight. When J. Il. Graves and
his associates undertook the work thoy wero
severely laughed at by the wise men with no
Imagination. It could not be DONE Well, it
is done. and Dubuque is the gamer, and with
Two strings to her bow, and another promised,
she 1s no longer at the mercy of any single line
