the best route from the Lake to the Missis-
sippi.
How the ''Fox river settlements" would
''have been accommodated with the facIi
ties of reaching Southport as well as Ra
cine," by the establishment of the national
Road on the southern route, any more than
they now are accommodated, is a point
which we will not ask the Burlington VIII
ter to explain, as we think it would puzzle
him entirc1y. We will conclude our re-
marks, upon that communication, bya lo.
ticc Of the concluding paragraph. 1.-The
inhabitants Of Fox River" the 6 :ntlomaa
says, "leel bound 70 express their scn-
ments, That the commissioner, under whose
guidance this Read was laid, owed 10 the

porlunity to point out It's superior advanta-
ges and claims. Bat no S@ch 7pD2yinnjli

sentiments in regard 10 the Commissioners

irrcSisttl, obligation 10 ''egpreas'' it, there
press, and that is, that the assertion in the
last sentence Of the foregoing quotation is
untrue. In justice to that able end Impair
till officer, who was the agent in cstah-
fishing the Road under consideration, we
do feel bound TO state, (and we challcng,
contradiction that the southern route re-
ccIyed his attention as much as the north

been assallcd sometimes, we perceive, but
Messrs. Editors, allow Us to express our
sentiments, that in his official capacity in
our Territory, he has consulted the true
objects Of contemplated improvements,
economy in public expense, and the bcnc-
fit Of the greatest portion Of community;
before the chims Of The boastf'ul, the sell

In CONCLUSION OF this article, permit us
to say, that it has been dictated by 10 vir-
ulent feelings towards oar ncighbors at

has advantages, we are glad Of it, As our
mind travels down the fine River, to which

greater, then, would be our country. We
would sooner add to the facilities Of any

itself, by fulsehood and misrepresentation.

LUMBER TRADE.-To give our readers
something Of an idea, Of the extent Of the
lumber trade in the village Of Southport,
we present some statistical Information on
the subject, with which we have been IA
vored by one Of our citizens. The amount
Of pine lumber, which has been landed at
this place the present season, is $50, 76l
feet. Shingles, 800 thousand. The amount
of pine lumber, landed at this place during
the season Of navigation last year, was
about $50, 600 feet. The excess Of this
year over last year, amounts already to
about 100000 feet. In addition to the
amount Of lumber, which has been landed
at this place the present season, it is esti-
mated that about 500, 600 feet more, will
be delivered here, before the season Of
navigation closes which will make up
wards Of 100000 feet Of pine lumber,
brought to this market the present season.
This at the average price for which lumber
is selling at this place, will amount to
$4,000. 1t is also estimated that in ad-
dition to the SEQ thousand shingles, which
have been landed here, the present season,
that at least 200 thousand more will be
brought this fall; making in all 500 thou
sand; which may be estimated at $1,000.
This added TO the foregoing estimate, will
make the sum OF &14,0 as the result Of
the lumber trade, in Southport in a single
year.
The stock of lumber brought to this
place last year, was entirely exhausted
before the opening of navigation this sea-
son, and from present indications the stock
of this year, and that which is expected to
arrive, will be disposed of before another
season. About two-thirds ofthe amount of
pine lumber, brought TO this place, has
been shipped up the lake, from the pine
country about Manitouwoc. and SheLoy-
gan. The lumber business of Southport
will of necessity, continue to increase
from year TO year. The whole region of
country west of this place, to Rock river,
and to the Mississippi, is altogether desti-
tute of pine timber. The pine regions in
northern Michigan, and in northern Wis

''He sold to others mineraltracts which
were held and worked, under permits grant
ed By The lead mine Agent, at the time OF
sale, and had been SO occupied from the
year 1927. (See affidavits of A. Al. Nea-
will, A. Loony, A. Bean, w. S. Bean, U.
SaIIee; Document No ID, pages f, 7 81
He sold several mineral tracts, and
also lands claimed by pre-emptors, after
the applications had been referred to the
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
and before his decision and contrary to his
express instructions. (See Vests Report

MEssRs. EDiToRs In an article in
your paper Of Sept. lst, commencing with
$ the Importance of good Roads from the
Lake to the INTERIOR" the evident object of
which is the venting of local spleen at
! the location OF the uurtonal noad from Ka-
cine, and also at the efficient officer who
| established It; there are some remarks and
statements which we claim the privilege
to notice and correct. The article observes
"Why this Road should be borne away
from direct course between two given
points, avoiding Burlington, which is nearly
on the direct route, and which possesses
one Of the greatest hydraulic powers be-
tween Rock River and the Lake; a water
power which is pronounced by competent
Judges, to be sufficient to carry 80 run Of
stone--the writer feels not at liberty to OK
press an opinion" With the cuIogy,w (which
the Burlington writer has contrved to work
into his composition, we have little to do;
we would only remark that, if it is as ex-
aggerated as his statement is ncortcct,-
that burlington is more nearly on the d.
! rect route between the two given points Of
the national Road, than the present loca-
ton Of the Road--our Burlington neigh
bors have little to boast Of. That writer
has only to examine the late sectional map
of Wisconsin,, which has the national road
laid down, to discover that its present eros
sing Of Fox river, at Rochester, is conside-
rable nearer the "direct route" than Bur
llngton. In regalG to the remainder Of the
route, by way of DeIayan, he has only to
consult the same authority to discover that
it Is more circuitous and unnatural than
the present location; and we do know from
our own personal knowledge Of the princi-
pal part OF both routes, that the one by way
Of Burlington and Delavan, would have
been far the most expensive in its CON
struction, and never could have been made
as good, at all seasons, as the present route.
We believe the national Road to be wisely
located. We would challenge any one to
point out better route, from the Lake TO
Fox river. ltpasses through an excellent
country. Sugar Creek Prairie and the
north side of Rock, cannot be surpassed in
natural beauty and cXcclIences, and will
not long, in artificial improvemcnt-be

complains of, on the northern route; but
we would defy him TO point out a spot on
the whole route, one half as dreary and
uninteresting as the southern route would
have been from Ives grove to Burlington,
and from Spring Prairie to Elkhorn, and
nearly the whole distance from Delavan to |
Evansville.
Thegreat stress which the writer places
upon the hydraulic power on the southern
route, if such wonderful power exist might
be an argument in favor Of that route, if |
it had been the object of Government to
