The Rock Island Kallroad excursion has of late 0 filled the columns of newspapers both East and ‘West with its details, that the jotting down a few motes after leaving the excursiouists may probably Prove a supererogutory work at this moment, par- ticularly as my route bas been over » beaten track, and, in the present day of easy locomotion, known to thousands of your readers; however, as I have been scribbling away in my note book, I may as well open 3 page ortwo fer your inspection, and, if you choose, for the infliction of the millions who daily read your columns. At Louisville I left the delightful companionship I had enjoyed forthe past week, and which truly might have made the veriest eynic happy. Whilst wending my way by the IIli- nois Central Railway what a crowd of reflections en- gendered by the iate excursion rashed throagh my wiad. Many bave viewed our trip into the Far West as a mere pleasure excursion, in which the eye has been gratified with gazing on beaatifal and romantic scenery, whilst we have formed most @esitable end veable acquaintances, which, @oubtlers, will 1 into triendships perhaps exer- @ing an imp.riunt influence upon our future; but itis pot in this light only that so important an era in the bi-tory of the West should be viewed; it ia@ tucaloulable what results may not accrue, and thore mo:t immed ately in those regions 80 lately Weited by a thousand people, who probably never Would have penctrated so far West unless impelled by yome such incentive as the invitation forwarded them by the spirited railway company. Wealth bas visited a splemsio country, fitted by natars to receive its superabundance; the eye of intellect has keenly écanned the vast prairie, the well wooded and well watered jands cotempting to the immigrant farmer, ano that intellect guides the pen, advertising to the world the ferti fa couatry already rapidly set- ting, bot w will be advanced ut least ten yeurs by the late irruption of the “wise men of the Yeast.” “Whilst indulging in thoughts such as these, 1 was wafted with speed and comrort turough as magnifier nt ay eericuliural conntry as ever plough went into.

Vast, indeed, is ‘the improvement visible, not only in this asin tad ‘but ip the general aspect of everything. Fine stores and warehouses nave sprung up in all parts of the city. The new court bouse or city hall ia nearly completed, and at last the custom house and post offive make ashow of going up. Three handsome theatres are also generally in fall blast here. The Varieties, built by stockholders, is the property and resort of the so-culled aristocracy, and conse quently, beautiful us it iv, itisa failure, and only rr érags on anexistence. The People’s Theatre the last built, is saree 08 commo tious, and the people, consideriog it belongs exclusively to them, contrive to fill it pretty well. John Bates, of Cin- cinnati, well known in the theatrical world, owns the other house, where all the principal stars do congregate. Three theatres in a place of not mach ever 2 hundred thousand inhabitants, are too many for its requirements, particulariy as the Ger- mans form a& Jarge numeri item in the lation of St. Louis. The office of the Eivouri Republican looked dull as I crossed its pertels, Tbe rnbicund face and cheerful smile of Col. Chambers was wanting for a greeting; a few weeks ouly bed elapsed. wae xniverally known and respected through the West, he somewhat pre- maturely bustied off this mortal coil, and sleeps with bis fathers, Itaving a living monument of his epterprise and industry, in one of the best conducted and most wisely circulated daily papers out of New York. [also strolled into the sauctum of Hid and e brothers McKee, who conduct an extensively read paper, the Musouri Lemocrat. This is the ecknowledged organ of Old Bullion, as you all call him.

Scene in the Village on the Fourth—The City Par- ties on Shore—A Hepe for Future Consummations of the Great Jubilee. One of your casual correspondents at the water- ing places in this season of recreation, forsaking the busy hum of the metropolis, where juvenile patriot. ism, paying homage to the return of our national anniversary, renders it obnoxious for nervous men toremain, sought this favorite retreat yesterday; and here, by the placid waters of the noble Hadson, would tender, in silence, his reverence for that great day—seventy-eight years ago—when this, the mode] fabric of the age, was inaugurated in the catalogue of nations, 8 monument which all freemen contem- plate with pride. And there is something peculiar. ly fitting in selecting this resort for the untram- meKed pulsation of that impulse, springing from a generous and liberal love of the lavs and institvtions of this great and growing republic; for here those arms have been trained to wield the implements of war, iusepsrable from the founding of a tree nation. Here the guabing instinct of true patriotism has been nourished and ennobled, andthe manly spirits who bave shed an unfading lustre upon our arms on the battle field, many of tuem have here drawn their most potent inspiration. The village this morning presents a lively appear- ance. All are equipped in holiday costume, and enjoy the review of the,troops with unmingled satis- faction. Some lounge on the piazza of the hotel; others roam through the rich green foliage of the woods thas stud the river’s bank to the water's edge; the balance acmirirg the beauty of the river scene ry fur tothe north and south.

Nicolay’s auction sale of stocks and bonds will take place on Monday, at half past twalve o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. We learn that several ronds—smong which are the Soutbern Michigen and Northern Indiana—have agreed to invite public investigation into their management, and | especially into their transfer of certificates and mode of conducting the same. We find the charters of Western roads have in most cases been drawn up with more care than those of many roadaatthe East. For instance, the charter of the Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana Railroads have the following provision, regulating the mode of making transfera :-— : Section 10 of an act to amend an act Prise the charter of the Southern Michigan Railroad, &e., passed | by the Legislatare on the 28th of March, 1850, provides tbat “certificates of stock shall be granted to the atock- hol’ers, which shall be evidence of the stock held. They shall be signed by the President, and countersigned by the Clers (or Treasurer). The stocks shall be tranafera- ble on the books of the corporation only, persoually, or by an agent, attorney, or by the administrator. executor, trustee, or guardian ; but such stocks shall at oll times be holden by the corporation, or for any sum thet may hereafter become due on apy coutract made with the #aid corporation prior to such transfer. | Mr. Echuyler simply acted as transfor agent, and issued certificates bearivg his own signature alone. Here and in all other Western roada, os weil 4s moat Eastern roads with which woare acquainted, no leas tham two signa tures are required, anu in some cases, such as the Ga lena and Cr cago Raitroed, three rigeatures are afixed to all certit of stock, vin: the name of the Presi eeatand Secretary, w reafterenrds countersiyne! or endorsed by Messrs. Wadsworth & Sheldon in this city. Had the New Haven Railroad charter contained a elocse similar to that of the Soutvern Mchigan and Northern Indiupa, above quoted, Schuyler could not hove swindled it to the extent he id; because, when those to whem he bud hypothecated the certificates came to have them transferred in his name (o another, the railroad ould have claiseed the stock, on the ground that its owncr, or the man in whose name it stood, owed the road the full amount of ite value, and thus got rid of it as | & part of its stock. ‘The Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company will not | troope tlmost ia disorder, and probably a1 | nereafter issue certisestes for aheren or obligations of loe Ht io Lopez, and with him march the company unless regularly countersigned by an audi- | tor appointed.

According to this, there has been an increase in the property of the company, from January 1 to July 1, 1854, of $583,904. Besides this, the sum of $119,137 of the company’s bonds has been paid. The net income of the company, at the close of the six months, amouate! ty $441,135. Had nothing been deducted from the net earn- ings of the steamship but the current expenses of the transit route und of the company, the net income would have been $69%,0€8. The company is so well provided now with facilities for carry ing on its business, that here- after the expenditures will be quite moderate and the net income, of course, greatly increased. The actual net earnings during the past six months were equal to more than nine per cent on the entire outetanding capi- tal of the company.
