Chicago and Galena Railroad—Pereription of the Counties—Stephenson, Elgin, Belvidere, Rockford and Freeport catni(ts), etc. We have now, carefully, in the forego* chipter dAposed of our views anal descrip tions of the country along the Chicago and St. Louis road. We shall now proceed to a short descriptjOn of that country through which the Chicago and Galena railway pass( 11. The Cliicago and (Miens road is said to be the. bent paying 'mid th th'e United Stat. 4, slot Judging from the amount of business done upon it, and thd• densely inhabited country it passes throtigh, we would' feel convinced that it does an extrsoidinary bu- :Armes. The road is a pretty good .one, but we have rode upon bettor ; at sonic places it is vary uneven and rough, aiel-at others it is very Mee and level. The cars are well nothing of speed is twenty-five miles per hour The rend is as erooloA.l its the Mississippi river, wlelst the int. 416011, e prcsutne, the stock liol,l( r !rid, tt as to accommodate every man living iii the North Wlit, by running the track close by his dour The distance front Chicago to Freeport, which is now the ter- Lihu.s Life-the road, is one hundred and twenty-one miles, and the fare is three dol lars and sixty cents.' The Illinois Central company purchased the right of way from the Chicago and Ga lena stockholders, consequently the latter company only ruff their cars to Freeport, whtie the former take them to Galena and the State line. Passengers who have no through tickets to lowa will have to pur chase a ticket at Freeport for their desti nation. The Galena Cars loft their depot every mix hours. There is not much to be seen from the time you leave the city until you arrive at the junction of the Rock Island or Bur lington and Quincy road. The land Interve. mug between those two pieties is marshy, thodgh high and rolling lands are visible in the ilistaifce. Junction is in Dubuque county. Kane and Brown counties are two of the oldest settled counties along the route. The land lays high and rolling, with plenty of timber, good running water, and pretty good soil. The principal town in the former county is, Elgin; which is handsomely on a high table land, whose' base is wa tered by the limpid waves of Fax river. There am many handsome buildings in El gin, it presents quite a city-like appearance. Extensive beds of yellow building stone are .found within its vicinity, and the quarry ing of stone has become quite s business. Belvidere, is the county seat of Boone county . .. It is tastefully laid out ; Pulaski river forms the casternboundary of the town, and empties its waters into Rock river a few miles south west of the town. The populatithr of Elgin is about four thousand, and tha t t of Belvidere about two thousand. Winnebago Bounty Is a very hilly and uneven-county, well timbered and watered. Rockford, the county seat, is a flourishing city, beautifidly laid out. There. aro several beautiful buildings, churches and hotels in the place. Rocleriver ruts tO tho cast side of it. It hash population of about five thousand. StephensOn county, which lays west of Winnebago, is one of the healthiest, tiretti est and best timbered counties in the State, The water is pure and good, the land rich , and fertile, and the prairies high and rolling. It was never our good fortune in 'tdl . our journey South or West, to get into a country Iso suitable to all mu tastes as this is.

It is the intention of the stockhold ers to make ono continuous, route of it, through to Fort Des Moines, lowa. If they fulfil their designs, and we have no doubts to the contrary, the toad will pass through some of the prettiest and largest populated counties of lowa, namely.; Clinton, Cedar, Johnston, lowa, Powesheek, Jasper and Polk.
