"AzTALAN."-For some time past
two articles have been coursing the race
ground Of the press, bearing the title with
which we have commenced this para
graph. One, giving an account, uuder
the authority of Judge Hyer of Mil
waukie, of the ruins, or remains, of
what was believed to be an ancient city,
in the territory of Wisconsin--n which
the traces of walled town or fortfica-
tions were plainly to be discovered,
which burnt bricks were to found, &c.
The other article is letter, from tou-
rist-a Mr.. F."-to the editors of the
National Intelligencer, contradictng the
statement of Judge H, and asserting
that the famous ruins consist OF nothing
more than few inconsiderable Indian
mounds and insinuating that the whole
was hoax to sell village lots.
This letter has called forth another
from Judge H. to the Chicago Ameri-
can in which he re-asserts his first
statement, and adds that Mr.. F., who
ever he may be, never visited the site
of the ruins, but wrote his contradiction
upon hearsay testimony; and further,
the Judge says, no village has been laid
out at Aztalan, in which to sell lots,
though such village might be laid out.
Taking every thing together we are, for
believing Judge Hyer, until Mr.. f.
dof1s his incopnito, and comes out with
the facts.

The most audacious robbery we have

The most audacious robbery we have
seen an account Of, was attempted on the
rail road baggage car, short distance
below Little Falls, on the night of the
27th ult. The villain must have Jump
ed upon the car Gn the rear) when the
train started, and unloosed it therefrom
at the curve above the bridge. Three
miles below, the collector gave notice
thatthe car was missing-when the train
was ordered back to the bridge, and two
hands proceeded stealthily and caught the
robber within the car very scientJfcal-
ly searching the trunks. Theyknocked
him down, and he is secured in Herki-
mer Jail. He is a shrewed little 4 and
a half feet, gray-haired Scotchman, who
will answer no CUSTOM it is enough
for you,. he says, TO know that | am
caught.

at corresponding season, yet is cheer
ing to see any improvement. On look
ing along South street yesterday, the
cartmen and labourers appeared 10 be
fully employed, and the wharves quite
crowded. Pearl street also exhibits more
signs of life."
Another reason asignned by the Ex-
press for asserting that business had re-
vived in the city, is, that the advertising
patronage of the paper had been very
greatly increased within short time.
This is the strongest evidence that the
Express could have adduced. Nothing
marks so strongly an active state Of
trade, or the capacity Of men and places
for business, than to see the business col
umns of a newspaper crowded; and
none know better than the merchants OF
New York the value Of advertising free
| ly.

don | Experiments prove that electrici-

means of common iron wire eight miles,
and the writer attempts to show that
communications more perfect than by
Telegraphs, may be made between dis
tant places in an instant by means of
successive electrive sparks from sepa-
rate wires, attached to such letter of
the alphabet. Copper wires coated with
non-conductors, and protected from ex-
ternal injury, laid under turnpike road
between Edinburg and London, dis

between those cities, according to John

Extract of a letter from an Officer of the
Army, dated

TAMPA bay, Aug. ~ lc5I'
"Within few days past, the Semi
noles have come in the neighborhood Of
this place and stolen, at night, about 2s
horses, which evidently shows thelI
intention of renewing the war and
expect they will commence their thieve-
ry and hostile habits by their small par
ties, as usual, until the arrival of troops
sufficient to take the field; and i! is
doubtful whether another express, for the
present, will 60 through the country to
Garey's Ferry.
A party Of mounted men has gone in
pursuit Of a party, that stole six horses
from the neighborhood last night, and
we are in hopes that they will overtake
them. Gen. Jessup is expected here ir

STEAMBOAT LAw.-The state OF llli-
noisha set an example, in enacting law
for the prevention of Steamboat Disas
ters on the waters within her jurisdiction,
which should at once be followed by ev-
cry State in the West and South West.
This subject was up before the Kentuck-
Legislature last winter, but we be-
lcve resulted in nothing but lite talk.
In backwardness of Congress to legisate
in the matter, it devolves upon the States
individually to pass such laws as may
be in their power, for at least the lesscn-
ing ofthe frightful destruction of life in
our interior navigation and it is hoped
that they will not be slow in following
the example of Illinois. Wisdom, jus.
tice, and humanity, alike demand that
they should without delay, give their at
tention to the subject.
The law of Illinois makes it necessa-
ry for every boat navigating her waters,
to have "a competent master, officers,
and crew." and ga substantial and suffi-
cent engine" at all times "kept in good
order and safe condition" 1t points out
the duties of the officers of boats in de-
scending and ascending rivers, states
their obligations when they chance to
meet in narrow channels or shallow pla-
ces, and makes penal any neglect to keep
good regulations and proper trim. 1t
bliges them to land when putting way
passengers ashore, if possible, and fnot,
10 put them off in "good, sufficient and
comfortable boats" 1t makes it their
duty, if there is any freight of powder a
board, to stow in the safest part of the
boat, and state on placard in the cabin,
that they have such freight. The most
important sections of the act, are the
fourth and fifth. The former of these
makes the master and oUners severally
and jointly responcible for damages
which any person may sustain. by the
neglect or refusal lofthe officers TO keep
the entire craft in good and safe condi-
tion; and provides. that if any loss Of
life shall ensue from any such neglect
or refusal, the officers on match, and con.
ducting the boat for the time being, shall
be deemed gully of the crime ofman-
slaughter, and upon conviction thereof
be punished accordingly. The filth Sec
tion, above alluded to, is preventive OF
steamboat racing; and as in the fourth
makes the owners and officers severally
and jointly liable and responsible for all
damages which any individual may sus-
tain from any accident that may happen
during race. Itregards loss oflife in con.
sequence of a race, as high crime and
misdemeanor and makes the penalty
on conviction Of the person or persons
having charge Of the boat for the time
being, imprisonment in the State Peni-
Tertiary for any term not exceeding ten
years.
This act goes into effect the first Of
next month. Had such law been in
force generally on the Western waters,
for the past ten years, scores of individ-
uals who have been as truly murdered as
if they had died of pistol-shot or dirk
wound made with intent to kill. would
now be in the land Of the living.-Ihe
