We know not lOhen we have seen more evil

since the publication of DR.. Duncan's late out
rageous doctrines in regard to foreign voting
The rank and file are evidently alarmed at the
consequences. They find that the intelligent
freemen of this country, whether native citizens
or naturalized citizens, will support for office
no man who entertains such odious doctrines.
Already we see numbers of the Van Buren,
party meeting in squads at the corners Of the
streets, some paliating, some partially denying
the remarks made by Duncan, and all evident
" alarmed at the result which the Doctors SEN
timents are producing in this get free and en-

We tell those INSCRIPTIONS supporters of Dun

The Buffalo Commercial states, that the Fee
deral Government has totally abandoned the pub
lie works, indispensable to the construction of
harbOrs on our western lakes AS an instance
of the reckless improvidence of the Govern
ment, it states that dredging machine which
cost S11 600 year or two since, was sold by
order OF the Government few weeks ago, for
$4,000. At the important city of Chicago, where
the public works are very far from being COM
pleted, and on lake where many lives and an
immense amount of property are lost annually,
the implements for constructing public works
have been all but given away. The following
bill, which is copied from the American, exhibits
the true amount received into the bankrupt Ma
tional Treasury by this forced sale of the valu-
able personal property Of the people Ofths U.

SCENERY on THE WISCoNsN.-A writer in
the Wisconsin Enquirer says that the name
of the river Wisconsin is "evidently a cor
ruption Of the Indian word Wahoo-se-rat,
which signifies place where councils are held.
He gives the following account of the scenery
of its banks and its channels:
ssAlong the Wisconsin, there are several points
of most striking interest to the lover OF nature,
and the admirer of the sublime. The falls,
twenty miles above the portage, are, ia natural
grandeur, exceeded only by Niagara; here the
whole volume of the river, (Which in the time
of high water is immense,) rushes through q
chasm in the rock, seven miles in length, and
which, at one point, is only sixty feet across,
and as crooked as serpent's track, and through
this dark ravine, where the sun seldom shines,
the whirling and eddying of the straight stream
is terrific The rocks on either side are high,
bold and projecting, and their lower parts, where
exposed to the action of the sweeping current,
are washed into figures very much resembling
the base and mouldibgs of the Ionic and CORN
THAN ORDER Fertilization rocks, too, Opposite
Sac Prairie, present most noble picture. View
ed from distance, they resemble the embattled
outlines of stupcndous Gothic fortress, with
its extended ravelins and heavy bastions Fur
Their down the river there is another object
of curiosity. About midway between the shot
tower and English Prairie, on the right bank oil
the river, there is very steep hill, of pyra-
midal form, rising to the height of $50 feet from
the surface of the river, surmounted by a huge
mass of rock, with bold perpendicular front
full 20 feet high, and in the frowning forehead
of this rock there is aperture, which, from the
river looks no larger than the mouth eli an oven;
but when you ascend the bill, (wh oh is rather
difficulty you find it to be a door between FIVE
and six feet high, leading into most beautiful
cavern, about forty feet in circumference, and
high enough for the tallest man to walk about
with his hat ON. aa -- f.,se
The sides and reef of this chamber of a
concave form, and as smooth as If they had been
dressed off by mason's hammer; and from this
principal chamber, are three dark, narrow pas
sages, striking farther into the rock, and as we
suppose leading to another cell in the bowels Of
the hill. From the outer door of the cave there
is fine commanding view of the country and
the river, winding its serpentine course IN the
vale below. The cave bears evident marks Of
having once been inhabited, and if this airy and
picturesque vault had a tongue to tell of what
had been tire nsacted there, there is doubt that
| curious tale might be unfolded of the rites o.
Meta and Maniten worship in days OF yore."

OF. LUUIs, OCl.T z4IIJ IUfV.
DEAR CoLoNEL:--At your request state to
YOU the substance Of our several conversations
touching your opinion OF General Harrison,
and your unhappy difference with that distin-
guished officer.
The first conversation which took place be-
tween US was at Fort Stephenson, where you
commanded in the early part of September,
1918, when Major Wood and myself were on
eur way to reconnoitre the sandusky Bay, and
to have conference with Commodore Perry,
on the SUBJECT of our joint operations against
the enemy. That conversation IS perhaps tfe
better recollected, inasm ueh as it has often
been referred to in our subsequent convsrsauo,n.s
since the war; and from the fact that you did
