Seek whatever thoroughfare you may, and you will find it lined with emigrant wagons. In many instances large droves of stock of a superior quality are met with. On our last day's drive into Iowa City from Fort Des Moines, we met 69 covered wagons seeking a home in the valley of the Des Moines. It is safe to say that the emigration to Iowa this year, will be double that of any preceding year. Dubugue Express [the above was in the Meigs Co. Telegraph July 10, 1855 followed by the below paragraph] The Ohioan who attempts a journey over the fertile and beautiful plains of that great Prairie State will be surprized, at almost every village, and in almost every stage coach, to find some old friend and neighbor from the Buckeye State. Inquiries have satifified us that the emigration to Iowa is more numerous from this State than from any other in the Union. Almost without exception they are persons of intelligence, character, and means. They have farms of one or two hundred acres here, but they have families growing up about them, and, as they could sell their Ohio lands at - from $20 to $70 per acre, and could buy just as good land in Iowa for $1.25, they are rapidly making the exchange. It seems by the above from the Dubugue paper, that this operation is going on with increased vigor.
