is of highly important character.
The commissioners to whom was refer
red the subject Of the north eastern boun-
dairy, have made their report, which has
been published. The ground assumed in
the report is of most extraordinary cha
racter and will doubtless create much sur
prise to the people of the United States.
The language of the report is decisive as
to the right of Great Britain to the whole
of the disputed territory; and it goes still
further and expresses the opinion that the
British have a right to some part of the
state of Maine, itself! Thus has this long
vexed question, which was a short time

Congress-, for the purpose Of building a
road, from Racine to GAINESVILLE, on Rock
river, and a Commissioner appointed, to
superiLtend its laying out and construction.
Why this road should have been borne a.
way from its direct course, between two
given points, avoiding Burlington; which
is nearly on the direct route, and which
possesses one Of the greatest hydraulic
powers between Rock river and the Lake
"a water power which is pronounced by
competent judges, sufficient to carry 80
run of stone: the writer feels not at liberty
to express an opinion. The afore-men-
toned road, also, avoids Gardeners and
Spring Prairies, which are also on the
more direct route, and through which ma
ture presents the most advantageous
ground, for the construction Of a road
Elkhorn, the seat of justice of Walworth
CO., is also avoided; and Delayan too, pos
sessing great water power Of 70 feet fall;
all OF which places are more on the direct
line, than the present location Of the road.
Why the national road, should have
been taken out Of its direct course, and
carried through country Of sparse, and
isolated population, and made to accommo-
date only one point, possessing any n.y.
draulic power, or natural advantage-is a
matter of just inquiry. Whereas, if said
road had been borne south, through the
places belore-me ntioned, and on the more
direct route, the Fox river settlements
might have been accommodated, with the
facilities Of reaching Southport as we'll as
Racine.
The inhabitants Of Fox river feel bound
to express their sentiments, that the Com
missioner under whose guidance this road
was laid, owed to the country, TO himself,
and to his commissioning give the inhabi
tants on this route, an opportunity to point
out its superior advantages, and claims

From Burlington the road winds around
one of those pleasant hills that overlooks
the Town, and after crossing branch of
the Fox, and rising short eminence, the
traveller finds himself on the border Of
Gardner's Prairie. This prairie contains
an area of about twelve square miles, and
is skirted around with timber. 1t IS rich,
and has all the advantages of timber, and
water. 1t was in the middle of harvest
when passed, and the crops, both cut and
standing, exceeded any thing | ever saw.

Many of our readers will no doubt expect some
notice in our paper of the proceedings of the Terri
toral Temperance Convention, held in this place
last week. Our reason for not publishing the pro-
ceedings of the convention at length is that they
will be spread before the public, through another
channel. The convention resolved upon the estab-
fishing OF quarterly publication, to be entitled the
WISCONSIN Temperance Journal" which paper is
designed to be rally circulated through the Ter
ritory. The Journal will be located at Milwaukee,
and placed under the editorial superintendence of
Messrs. Lyade, Finch and Reed; and from our ac-
quaintance with these gentlemen, We feel assured
that the publication of temperance paper under
their control, will be characterized with talent and
proper discretion; and that it will become an mpor
tant auxiliary, in advancing the temperance enter
prise in this Territory.
Notwithstanding the rain which fell almost inces.
sanity during The first and part of the second day
OF the convention, the number in attendance from
The adjoining counties, was respectable. Our spiri-
ted friends at Milwaukee, chartered small steam
boat, for the purpose of conveying delegates to this
place, and it happened that our citizens were ia
Ken by surprise, by the arrival of some twenty-five
ladies and gentlemen at the dcrk hour Of midnight.
Itwere indeed sin to be otherwise than glad to show
Jul hospitality at suCu TINE ana n0ur; and we
happy to say, thateur midnight visitors from Milwau
kee, met with welcome reception by our citizens
and were disposed of trust, to their satisfac-
ton.
number Of resolutions were discussed by the
convention, some Of which elected much talent and
tact in debate. We believe that no resolutions were
passed, which will be deemed by any one, of an u-
ira character-al those which were finally passed
were only an expression ofthe same principles which
have been adopted at county and state tesnpe rance
conventions, by almost every state in the union So
far as we were able to judge from the votes on the
several resolutions, than threefourt of the
convention were of the opinion that the passage of
any law prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating drinks
would be inexpedient. But all were animated with
spirited determination 10 carry forward the temper
ance enterprise by the power of truth and the polen
cy OF public opinion. The spirit of unanimity and
decision of action which pervaded the convention,
augurs well for the future success of the temperance
cause in Wisconsin. A number of distinguished in
dviduals were in attendance at the convention.
among whom, was Elisha Taylor, ESQ., chairman OF
the executive committee of the New York state tenn,
perance society.

the purpose Of bringing about an adjustment
of Turkish troubles. 1t seems France was
not consulted in the matter, and therefore
the French people regard it as gross in
suit, and are on the point of making war
not only with England but with the rest of
Europe. Many seem to suppose that hos
tilities and bloodshed will grow out of the
matter. The French government propo-
ses to increase the army, which now num-
bers $4,000 to 100000; important addi-
tons are also TO be made TO the navy.

Right Method Of Farming.-A farmer
by the name Of Thomas Oliver, residing
five or six miles from Edinburg, leased
farm for the last twenty years Of one hun
dred and fifty acres, paying annually
rent of ten guineas per acre, (seven thou
sand five hundred dollars per annum) on
which he raised grain, hay, and vegeta-
bles for the market Of Edinburg; this lease
he has recently renewed for nineteen years
on the same terms; and from poor man
he has become independent in his circum-
stances, and now rides in his carriage!-
What American farmer could make pro-
tit that would enable him to pay such an
enormous remit All may be accounted
for on the principles of judcious cropping,
heavy manuring, and careful cultivation.
