To Col. WEBB,

To Col. WEBB,
Dear Sir,--As you arc intimately &C.
quainted with the Wisconsin territory, and
more particularly with that part of it Dor.
dering on the Mississippi, will you do me
the favor to give publicity to the following
brief view of what is doing there, in the way
of internal improvements and at the same
time, If not contrary to your rules in such
cases, add your own testimony Of its cor
rectness.
Only few months elapsed since this new
Territory came into being, and already have
its citizens evinced determination not to
be behind hand in the march Of improve
ment. At the recent session of the Lcgis.
lature, perpetual charter was granted for
rail road from Belmont to the Mississippi
river with the privilege of extending it to MI
neral Point and Dodgeuillc at the option Of
the stockholders.
Under this act the road has been located
by the Commissioners, and is to terminate
at the town Of Mississippi, eighteen miles
north of Galena, and within tho Wisconsin
Territory. The location is considered
highly judcious one, and the termination is
peculiarly favorable to the growth OF a large
city. II passes through the very hoart Of

WESTERN ANTIQUITY.


u Some notice, hos at different times lately,
been given, respecting recent discovery in
Wisconsin, of what are supposed to be the ruins
of an ancient city. Tho Chicago Democrat
contains diagram of the citadel, accompanied
by the description below. The references show
a brick WALL % feet wide at the base, and four
or five feet high; with butrasses on the outside,
90 feet wide and extending beyond the wall IL
fsst,parallel ridges through the fort, the longest
way, of two feet high, including smooth plain
or road, and across, about three feet below the
sarfacc, n sewer arched with stone,-and mounds
varying from three to twenty-five feet high, and
from one and half to fourteen rods in circum.
ference, are numerous without, and two within
the citadel IAN oblong enclosure of about twenty
acres) arc fifteen feet high and ffty-thre feet
square at the top. With this article, we subjoin
another in smaller type, from Cincinnati paper,
of rather doubling disposition, which may be OF
some benefit as an Indictment to more thorough
investigation. -Constantine Repa6.
THE ANCIENT CITY--AZTALAN.
The discovery Of the ruins of this ancient
civ has afforded fruitful theme for specula-
ton among antiquarians. The city was stu
ated on the western branch of Rock river,
about so miles from Milwaukee, town which
has increased in ten months from rs to near
" 1000 inhabitants. We have conversed
with several individuals who have been up
on the spot and all coincide in their state
ments respecting the monuments Of its prls-
tine splendor and importance. Bya gra'
dual accumulation of earth the walls have
become mostly covered over with moss and
forest plants. They are entirely dilapldat-
ed and have every symptom of being older
bv centuries. than the lofticst of the ada
cent trees. The lateness of the season in
which they were discovered, with the Sc
verify of the weather since, has prevented
any exploration without the Citadel. Num-
erous specimens of the brick bearing nma-
terial, but not in form, every resemblance
to those now in use have been obtained
several of which arc ia this city. 1t will DC
recollected that the use of these was wen
known 10 the Mexicans upon the first DISCO
very of the continent by the Europeans
Some people argue from these runs the
nonulotion of the continent before the flood
bv a race of men far superior to the savagcs
Of the presen. day. This may have beer
the case. But we think the decay Of leave:
alone in a half dozen centuries would BE-
sufficient to embed them as much as they
now are. Some view the whole account az
fabrication to draw the attention of thu
phiiosophic westward. But we can assure
our doubling friends that it is reality
reality, however, which will generate mucl
fiction and that the West, another season
is to become as great theatre OF phlloso

1t was impossible to hold out any longer.
Sir Peter and Maria burst into immoderate
laughter, which only increased the ogita-
ton of the sufferer, until Sir Peter wiping his
eyes, said,
go to her, boy, 60 to her; my plan
has answered, as | thought it would, and
you will be a happy fellow, in spite Of your
folly.
Maria earnestly impressed upon her low
er's mind, that she had most reluctantly
yielded to the persuasions of her guardian
in suffering this little drama to be got up
for his edification, and Frederick having
now experienced the anguish which he
would have endured had he really lost Ma.

strength of his attachment. Beach Cot

the mineral region; and such is the convic-
ton of the people in that quarter of its be-
coming place of great importance, that
the agent Of tho Company is now selling
lots on the site, at from two to five thous-
and dollars.
At the other extremity of the rail road, is
the already nourishing town of Belmont,
situated in the center of a mining. region,
unrivalled alike for the quantity and qAality
OF its ore, from whence will be annually cx-
ported between twelve and twenty millions
of pounds of copper and lead, and nearly
the same amount of merchandise pass into
the country for its general supply; and |
think am safe in saying, that the stock OF
this rail road is destined to yield larger in.
terest than any other road in the United
States.
The capital stock of the company is fix.
cd at SS250,000, of which $4,000 has
been taken in Philadelphia. The estima-
ted cost Of the road is only 1925, 900 and the
amount subscribed authorises the company
to commence operations. Indeed, sim
gle capitalist stands pledged to take the re-
mainder of the stock but in accordance
with the charter and what we think the in
terest of the company, we are bound to o.
pen the books in this city, and receive SUBJ
scriptions if offered. Accordingly, as you
will perceive by an advertisement in your
columns, the books are to be opened at the
Merchants Exchange tomorrow. Itmay
be proper to add that this road is only q
link to road across the territory 10 lake
Michigan, terminating at Milwaukee on the
lake but the latter is under the direction
of another company.
My object in this communication, is first
to call the attention of capitalists to the fact
that they may subscribe to the rail road
stock tomorrow if they feel so inclined; but
secondly and principally to what shall con-
slider of still greater importance,-the ad.
vantages of an investment in the stock OF the
torn laid out at its termination. This stock
has been divided into one hundred shares
of which fifty reman TO be disposed of, anc
for which | am the agent. Considering the
vast resources of the mineral district of the
upper Mississippi Of which the town of MIS-
sissippi is PROFESSIONALLY to be the depot,
feel no hesitation in recommending TO cap
italists investments not only in the shares
of the town, but in the stock Of the rail
road.
| am comparatively stranger here, ant
therefore, venture to ask of you to say how
far my recommendation may be relied up
on, and also what your impressions are ii
relation to richness Of the mineral Dis
trict of Wisconsin.
Respectfully yours, &c.

where she had hidden him could save her from the
ture. And will that do q said she. Yes reptile
the governor Il will pass my word for safety on TIN
condition. Them replied She Il have hidden hi
In my heart"
STERN faces were around her bent,
And eyes of vengeful ire,
And fearful were the words he spake;
OF torture, stake and FIRE;
Yet calmly in the midst she Stood
With eve undmmed and clear,
And though her lip and cheek were white,
She breathed no sigh Of fear.
Where is thy traitor spouse p they said
A half formed smile of scorn,
That curled upon her naughty lip,
Was back for answer borne:-
Where is thy traitor spouse 2 again,
In fercer tones, they said
And sternly pointed to the rack,
All rusted o'or with red
Her heart and pulse beat firm and FREQ
But in a crimson flood,
Der pallid lip, and chesk, and brow,
Rushed up the burning blood
She spake,-but proudly raised her tones,
AS when in hall or bower,
The haughtiest chief that round her stood,
Had meekly owned her power.
My noble lord is placed within
A safe and sure retreat
sNow tell us where, thou lady bright,
As thou would'st mercy meet;
Nor deem thy life can purchase his
He cannot 'scape our wrath,
For many warriors watchful eye
Is placed DER every path.
But thou may'st win his broad estates,
To grace thine infant heir,
And life and honor for myself
So thou his haunts declare
She laid her hand upon her heart;
Her eye flashed proud and clear,
And firmer grew her naughty tread
MY lord is hidden HERE
And if you seek TO view his form,
Ye first must tear away,
From round his secret dwelling place,
These walls of living clay
They quailed beneath her naughty glance
They silent turned aside,
And left her all unframed, amidst
Her loveliness and pride.
