now expresses: that the Telegrap is UNI
worthy the notice Of the American, or whe
Their the opinion is merely expressed as
necessary to perfect this humbug. When
the first article of the Telegraph appeared
some weeks since, it is known that the
American showed no disposition TO reply
to it, but permitted it TO pass in silence.
This gentleman who now thinks the Tele-
graph unworthy of notice by the American
was then highly dissatisfied with the Anne
rican for this neglect, and it is matter Of
notoriety to the public, that he did again
and again threaten to discontinue the ten
copies Of that paper for which he was
subscriber, which threats were continued
until the American entered into the defence.
Did he then think the Telegraph unworthy
Of notice, or has he since modified his opin-
ION, 10 suit the necessity Of the case which
we have mentioned. AS we'll acquainted
as the public are with these facts, we are
surprised that the gentleman should place
himself in the ridiculous position he has,
by the publication Of this card. But enough
on this point.
With regard TO the latter part Of this
communication, it would be highly crafty
ing were it not for the saving clause, en-
closed between parenhesis'. Every body
knows that whilst the evidence the gentle
man wants could readily be procured, it
would be impossible to convince him of It,
AS our cotemporary would say, he i" is
blind and in love with Darkness" on this
point This matter Of personal motive,
would be construed to apply to any and
every circumstance, which might arise.
AS pos1-masters are not appointed for the
benefit of party, and as President Tyler
distinctly condemns any connection what
ever between post masters and politics, we
do not see the propriety Of the gentleman's
resting the case exclusively with his own
party, and more particularly as this party
is in a very considerable minority Of the
| town. But still we should be content to
| fairly submit the matter on this ground
We do not anticipate however, that any
| thing short Of the interference Of the Post
Master General will effect change here,
and this card tends as much as any thing
else TO convince us Of this
In conclusion, with regard 20 the mo-
tives Of the editors Of the American in en-
tering into the defence, aware as were the
public Of the threats Of the postmaster we
mentioned above, coupled with the time
which elapsed between the appearance Of
the two articles, we at least had ground for
suspicion. We do not say that these
threats were uttered directly to the editors,
but will they say such threats did not
reach their ears? And too, when we couple
these threats with the statement Of the
editor, that he heard the post master say he
did not wish the article in the Telegraph
noticed, what conclusion shall we come to?
Either that the editor or post master has
travelled a very little way out Of the truth.

Death sends his arrows after us ALL
Now and then he gives US glancing
wound, and it heals, and we wrap our
selves up in the fond belief that we shall
long go untouched again by his weapons
of assault. We almost feel inclined to
look at our ccatrized wounds and console
ourselves with the thought that we are
safe from any further harm. till he gives
us his final blow. Even the venerable
patriarch. who totters and trembles as he
PAGES along the pathway Of existence,
seldom, if ever, realizes how near he is 10
the crumbling verge Of his last step
There is but hairs breadth between time

and hence we can hardly be said to know
even when we arrive at that feint line in
the shadow and valley Of death. A be-
ngnant God, while he has cast all the 9TH

PRESERVATION OF GRAIN.--The fol-
lowing curious facts with regard to the
preservation of grain in Europe, will
doubtless be interesting TO our farmers.
They are contained in a letter from
Wurlzburgh, dated September l8.--The
Silo (gran pitt on the ramparts of this
city, was opened to-day by Royal COM
mission in the presence of Connt Fugger,
the President of the Government. In the
year 1888 there were deposited in this pit
$50 Bavarian bushels Of rye. The pit
was opened, and the contents examined.
for the first time, in 1885, and for the Sc
cond time in 1887. To-day the pit was
opened for the third time, the grain hav-
ing lain in it for eight years. After the
removal Of some slight degree of moisture,
which had collected at the top of the walls,
the rye was found TO be quite dry. and in
state of perfect preservation. The sue
cess which has attended this experiment
will probably lead to the formation Of 9TH
er Silos on the hitherto useless ramparts
Of our town, which may thus be converted
into provision magazines for the supply Of
the army. The term "Silo," used above,
is Spanish word, and signifies subter-
rancous granary.

STATE GOVERNMENT The agitation of
the question, whether it is expedicnt for
Wisconsin TO become a State is not impro-
per. The advantages and Disadvantages
which would result, should be carefully
canvassed, and a general willingness
should be manifested, to advance the best
interests Of the people. If it should be
found that the arguments in favor Of our
becoming State, have preponderatine
weight, we should not hesitate to take pre-
paraIory measures for the accomplishment
ofthe object; or if on the contrary,i it shall
be made TO appear, that our present con-
dIilon renders il ncXpedient for us to an
ply for admission into the Union, then
should we abandon Cor the time being apv
measures Tor becoming a State. There is
one consideration which in the outset of
this question. should have influence with
the people. If a state Of entire freedom
and independence is better adapted to the
condition Of the people, then state Of
comparative vassalage and colonial de.
tendency, then should no small sacrifice
present a barrier, to our emerging at once
INTO the fall exercise Of republican rights
and privileges. The argument that our
condition of dependence upon the general
government, possesses pecuniary advanta-
geS over condition of political independ-
cnce, is i'll BETTING the character of free.
man. To calculate the cost Of free ex-
ercIse Of political rights, by dollars and
cents but little COMFORTS with the dignity
of a free bora American citizen. Liberty
is priceless GENT is base to calculate
ITS worth and set price upon it.
For the benefit Of those whose chief OH
lectlons to our becoming a state. arise from
fears of our pecuniary inability 10 sustain
the burden Of government, few estimates
both real and Problemalical. NAV not be un-
interesting. Under our present Territorial
organization, our government expenses are

CHNA WAE.-The renewal Of hostili-
ties in China by the English, forms a
chapter in the history of human events of
a dark and damning character. There is
scarcely on record more unjust invasion
OF national rights, than IS exhibited on the
part Of England in the unrighteous war
which she is now prosecuting against the
Chinese. 1t is inSIigatcd by the mo sheer

We should not be surprised if the revo-
luton of public opinion now in progress as
manifested by recent elections, should
eventuate in the reversal by Congress of
those measures which were deemed Wing.
and which have even passed by large ma
iorities. That such will be the ultimate
fate of the Land Distribution bill, we feel
confident. The only doubt on our minds
is, whether the effect Of an actual change
in the representation of Congress will not
be anticipated by the force of public opin-
ion, in the repeal Of this ac:, before such
change takes place; nor would we be sur
prised if such should be the fate Of the

FURTHER FROM CANTON.

Previous to the Narraganse,t leaving
Whampoa, the Chinese had agreed to pay
six millions Of dollars as a ransom for the
city of Canton, one million of which had
been delivered on board Her Maiesty's
Ship Hvacinth, on the 9th Nav. On The
1st June before she left the Macoa Roads,
news was received that fighting had taken
place with some newly arrived troops, and
that few foreigners who had returned 20

again obliged 10 return 10 their boats.
