THE BURLINGTON ROAD.

1t will be remembered that at a re-
zen meeting of the Lexington Business
Association a committee composed OF
Messrs. Henry Sinauer, James Went
worth and the writer, was appointed to
confer with the officers of the Chicago,
Burlington & Kansas City Railroad
with a view to inviting the manage
ment to visit Lexington that the advan-
tages of extending their road to this
place might be fully set forth. Mr.. Il.
J. Potter is the first vice president and
general manager of the road. A letter
was therefore addressed to him, invit-
ing him or any officer he might desig-
nate, to the inequalities of the city of
Lexington.
To this letter the following reply has
been received from the headquarters of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy sys-
tenn:
Messrs. A. Lesueur and others, Lex
ington, Mo.
UCHtIcIucu lCttCl JuoO ~
ceived. l have enclosed it to Mr.. Rob
ert Law, general superintendent of the
c., b. & K. G. Railway, with instruc-
tons to go to Lexington, with his engi-
neer, some time soon, and meet your
people. Very Truly Yours,
T. J. POTTER.
The Importance of the connection
with the c., B.. & Q. can hardly be over
estimated by our people. 1t is only
after a great deal Of correspondence,
and several personal interviews with
Mr.. Potter in Chicago, that so much
has been accomplished as we announce
above. Since the reception OF Mr..
| Potter's communication, a letter has
been written to Mr. Law urging him
to bring any other officers of the road
with him that he can, aud also any cit,
liens of Carrollton who can be induced
to come. Steps will at once be taken by
the Business Association to see that the
gentlemen are properly received. wher
they come, and we feel assured that
nothing will be left undone by our peo
pie to make their visit to u city
pleasant and convincing.

KEEP THE STEAMBOATS, IN THE
RIVER.

The Dacotah now runs as far up the
river as st. Joseph. We print else
where a notice of her last trip to n a
place, taken from the Gazette. Inc
merchants of St. Joseph, if they know
their own interests, will patronize the
Docotab literally. The railroads
oueeze them, as they do the merchants
of all other places where they have the
chance, and yet because Of a little sup
posed rapidity of freights merchants
are prone to neglect the steamboat, a
means of regulating rail freights thai
is expeditions and effectual. And' as
q matter-of- fact, steamboats, carry
freights, especially for long distances
quite as quickly as railroads, and in
yery much better condition.
st. Joseph sells a great many heavy
goods, her wholesale houses being
among the most solid IN the country.
Take her heavy, imported goods, ana
the sugars. sirups, and other southern
goods which she handles largely. There
is no reason why these should not be
shipped to her up the Mississippi
to St. Louis, and thence up the Missouri
river to her W wharf, at one-half OF
what it now costs to get them by rail.
Whether or not one-half of her freight
bills on these articles, Tor halt the year
or more, is an object, is for her own
merchants to consider.
At this city was organized a few years
ago the placing of an independent boa
in the Missouri, with the same Geo. u.
Keith who now commands the Daco-
tab on her roof, which broke down a
freight combination then in force be-
tween the Missouri Pacific railroad
the Wabash railroad and the Star Line
Packet Company. These three wealthy
and powerful companies thought they
could control freights to western Mis-
souri,, yet one little steamboat demor-
allied their tariff, and gave to Missouri
river points, and in consequence even
to other points, cheap freights, which
enabled the merchants to stock up on
heavy goods, especially on salt, lime,
plaster, &c j., articles which cost but
little and upon which freight is a very
considerable item.
Therefore, we say to st. Joseph mer-
chants, foster the Dacotah ; give her
frelghts ; keep her in the river, and
justify her running as high as st.
Joseph. She can be made the means
of saving that city thousands OF
dollars in freight bills. Lexington
is interested in keeping the Electric
Line boats in the river, and 1T wants
st. Joseph's aid. Our own merchants
NAV take to themselves some OF the
advice we have taken the liberty te
offer to the merchants of st. Joseph.
There is only one thing that we car
see in the way, and that is, the high
rates of insurance, which have been
brought about by railroad influence t.
kill the river business. In a tow1
like st. Joseph the merchants should
easily be able to organize a company
to insure them, Or strong houses could
afford to ship without insurance. LIE
us all try to keep the steamboats, in TIT

The German government has form

occupation of the Caroline islands, the
plea being reported appeals from Ger
man traders. The Spanish cortez at
their last session appointed Il special
governor to the Carolines, who started
for the islands before they were seized
by Germany. So here is a chance for
