The importance of the mineral wealth of Wis
consin, cannot, as is remarked, yet be estimated
with any degre. of accuracy. for its mining opera
ton have hardly commenced, and nothing like
system science has yet been resorted to- for the
purpose ofdeveloping its riches
Our own state and particularly our own city,
have great interest in the Improvements of that
region-as we demonstrated in a forme, article on
the subject, that the entire lead trade, vast il is,
and great as will be its future augmentation, is
susceptible of being diverted from the channel Of
the Mississippi, and made 10 seek the eastern and
foreign markets by shorter, much cheaper, afer
and more expeditions route. This route which was
pointed out a, the time, would make Buffalo an
important depot in the transit Of that valuable
staple from the west, to the various points pre-
| senting the most advantageous demand.
~, and capital is freed from tho embarrassment
and distrnst which now lock up its usefulness, we
hope TO see, intelligent and spirited men take hold
matter, building up fortunes for themselves,
and promoting the interests of the country at large
by pushing forward the plans which have been sc,
on foot for accomplishing the great result of which
we have spoken.
We like to see papers Of tho west, generally, de-
vote attention to their local interes, and endeav
or to call public attention to their several advan
tagcs adducing statistics exhibiting the actual i'm
provements effected among themselves.--Such fact
furnish deta, ON which the sober mndad aud bonn
dc settler base his calculations, far better thar
the glowing generalisng descriptions contained j,
the letters Of visionary knavish speculator.
whose statements often lead the unwary into YER,
serious disappointment-[B Buffalo Patriot.

The best way 70 regulate the currency II seems to
us-as we are pretty much agreed that over srad-

PRE.EMrTIoH SENTIMENT AT BUNKER HILL
AT meeting ON the 4lh of July At Bunker Hill,
where there were between o,,e thousand and fifteen
hundred citizens Of Boston and its vicinity, the
following resolution was unanimously passed after
some opposition. Resolved, that the public lands,
instead Of being regarded and held rs source OF
revenue, ought in certain fixed quantities 10 DO
free at price merely nominal to all persons ,oho
may scas to settle on, and cultivate them, and that
in no case schateueS ought their sale 70 any Dat &C.
tual settlers, be 1lloi1ed." Nothing could DO more
expressive, nothing more honorable, and nothing
more disinterestcd, than such sentiment when com.
ing from intelligent, patriotic citizens thus remote
from tho public domain. IL shows that those who
have seen the effects Of western land spscua ton.
are aware of its base influence to the general vel
fare Of the nation, and oppressive in its operations
upon industrious, enterprising farmers. 1t shows
too that il 10 considered alike beneficial 70 tho cas-
tern and western states.
lthas heretofore been claimed, that tho eastern
states had . just right to their proportion Of the
avails of the public lands, = I'd that the revenue
should bs increased AS much - possible by such
sales, to DO divided equally among the states. But
It seems now TO be considered inudicious for gov.
srnment to allow monied monopolies, and design.
ing spectators 70 Withdraw the money from among
tho laboring class Of community; that they may
purchase immense quantities Of land, and obliee
the farmers 70 pay An extortionate price for IT, II

shal secure the right ofthe honest working elias, ~

TAG IsprANs DELEGATION. paragraph
copied ia the Evening Post Of the 18th Ut. from
tho Washington Globe, it was stated that one of
the expected delegations from the Northwest had
reached w ashington, comprising twenty Sioux,
of the Medawakanton, the SUBSECTION, WaDeeton,
and Wahpaakoo,a bands.
1t is said they represent four Of the sever fannie
lies or council fires Of the great Dahcotal tribe,
who are supposed to number ~ GOO souls.
On their way 10 Washington, tho delegation
rested at Philadelphia, where they were vidted by
several citizens. among others by the edition of the
Pennsylvanian, who describe them amalg the
| mobiles. specimens Of the aboriginees ever een in
Atlantic cities.-[N New York Post.
That paper says:
"They are generally tall, finely formed men,
muscular and powerful in frame, with features be.
speaking shrewdness and intelligence. Several
warriors are among them renowned for their feat.
in arms. One in particular was designated, re.
clinins with lordly indifference upon sofa, who,
single -handed, had encountered four advesaries
and had como off victorious. We have rarely met

FcRT SEELLING.--A valued correspondent
who has just returned from this post, informs
US that an application will shortly be made t.
the Secretary Of War, by a company Of gentle.
men, for permission to erect fine Hotel q,
this place, for the accommodation Of the throne
that now visit the Falls Of st. Anthony, 40 I
few years ago It did, and. indeed, still does
the Falls Of Niagara. The ground upon which
Fort Smelling stands, and that immediately
adjacent, belongs to the government, was pur.
chased exclusively for military purposes, and
hence it becomes necessary to make the appli.
cation referred 70. We hope il may be grant.
ed---and il 1t be, the Falls afSt. Anthony will,
for ~ western folks, at least, bs a place Of
great sescrt--a fine summer retreat. But hea,
.... ee..espondent-.-
..If this project succeeds, it will afford de.
lightful resort in the summer from the cares Of
the world, for the man of business. and the
invalid will be invigorated by healthful breex.
co and delicious climate.
t.Many who have heard Of the Falls of St,
Anthony, are not aware Of the splendid scene.
~ with which the country abounds. Smooth,
glittering sheets of water, verdant meadows,
and high bleak bluffs, give elegance and gran
deur to the landscape.
ss'The wide extended prairies we'll stocked
with grouse and blooming with variety Of
many kinds Of aowers-the Lake Astounding
with fish, and their shores covered with beau
tiful specimens ofcornelian and incrustations Of
shells, offer great attraction to the sportsman
and the man Of tastes.
aIhe savage can be here seen in his wild
est state, and an Indian dance will be no rare
occurrence. In truth, lido not believe few
weeks o. months could be spent moro pleas
antly any whore, il proper accommodations
could be had, than At the falls Of ST. Anthony.
