BuiSnesS.-There are strong indications of return
ing confidence in business throughout the country
in general The channels o. trade are becoming
more settled and staLlity is gradually assuming the
place of certainty. The price Of produce in cas-
tern markets is slowly improving. The farming
interests Of the country encouraging, and The
producer may confidently look forward 10 better
markets fer The fruits OF the earth. The prices of
wheat and flour have advan ced from twenty -iN to
fifty per in markets, during the last six
weeks. Il hardly &C expected, however, that
heat and .our will maintain their present prices in
the Atlantic cities; sudden impulse has been given
10 The market in consequence of reported and an'ici.
pated failures Of Ike crop in some of the principal
" heat growing sections Cf the country. These re
ported failures will no tonht in measure prove ex-
agera,ions; still advance CT prices those of
last year may he expected.
The revival of prices of " heat and flour and othe"
agricultural products, very naturally Will give add
ditional impetus ali Other kinds Of business. The
farming interest is the support ofalaos; every other,
and when farmers prosperous life and vgor will
be given to other trades. We gre 70: among those
who affect 70 see in the revnMg prosperity CT The
country, the power of any special policG! influence
or the result Of an ascendency faEy particular par
ty. The country abCunds IN men, who are either ig
norant enough to believe arrogan, enough pre-
tend, that high and lew prices, good and bad times,
tho effects Of political aecendcncy. The Ceasons,
the harvests, and the stale of tie market if they
prove unav orahc, are charged to mal-admnstraiion
or if they prove favorable ascrbed political
agency. With oyv' heated Pcttzans, nature has
nothing to do with productive crops and overlooking
granaries, neither with canine AM want.

BEWARE OF SPL CULArons.-We are credibly in
formed that the most gross imposition, has lately
been practced upon many of the farmers in Wal
worth county by eastern specuaturs Taking ad-
vantage of the late sudden rise in the heat market
spectators have passed rapidly through the county
in advance ofthe price current news, and contracted
for the crops now Inc ground. Thus many far
raers who not informed Of the advance on wheat
and flour in eastern markets. have disposed Of tier
crops for third less thaa the present value. Two
respectable farmers Sugar Creek Prairie who are
neighbors 10 each ether contracted their W heat
to Spectator last week one of them for four shil-
lngs per bushel, and the other for five shilngs and
sxpence per bushel. There was no perez ptble diff
ference in the quality of the two crops, and neither
farmer Of course informed by the buyer of the
price which the other had received
We give this as a specimen Of the unfair dealing
and deception of travelling wheat speculators-we
of course do not include ali. Where the farmer no
disposes Of his wheat acquainted of the state of the
market the buyer censurable for endea oring
TO purchase cheap. But when the purchaser in a
clandestine manner, takes advantage in the manner
above described he is deserving of the seyerest rep
rehenslon. The man who buys property by with
holding truth, and rendering what he knows 10 be an
unfair nd dishonest equivalent is unfit to be trusted
in community.
Farmers should at all times TO market their wheat
in some one Of the commercial towns on the lake
shore. " eat N Southport is worth six shil-
lings per bushel And we can assure those who have
wheatto dispose of that the price here will always
be regulated by to eastern market, and that wheat
at all times will bring much here in New York
dsducng the necessary charges Of storage, lighter
age, freight, insurance, &c.

We received the proceedings ola temperance meet
ing, which was held at Racine on the 9th inst too
late for insertion in our paper of last week. The
meeting was held for the purpose Of forming a coun-
ty Temperance Society. The several towns in the
county were generally we'll represented. A consti-
tuition for the society was reported and adopted
and entitled the " Racine County temperance
Society, which recognizes the principles of total
abstinence from al intoxicating drinks as beverage.
Doct Dyer Of Burlington elected Presdcal of Tie
Society and jason Tothrop Of Southport Secretary
An executive committee were also appointed CON
sistng member from each town in the county.
We hope the society will be an efficient one, and
give an additional impulse to the cause of temperance
in this county.

.oirgu7ar Fact.-A respectable passen-
Cer by the CaIenGona, which arrived in
Boston in March last, mentions the fol-
lowing singular circumstance. The Caledo-
ria was in the gale of the middle of that
month, in immincntdan5er, in consequence
Of not being able TO get head to wind.
The crew were worn out by previous eX-
ertions. Luckily there were five masters
Ct North American traders on board
= .csc men put on their pea-,achets, went
c!oft, cleared away the wreck, got Up
terrauinos in the mizzen rigging, and
aided Ivy tho captain and crew, finally sue
cecdcd in bringing the ship head to wind.
This alone, ii is thought, saved her.-The
next day, when the wind lad abated, the
passenger in question observed the five
North American masters in conference by
,hemseivs; they invited him to join them;
lie rlost active Of these masters then said
10 The passenger: "Note what | now tell

cultivation, and covered with extensive
crops of growing grain. The mob have
forbidden under the penalty of death any
persons from harvesting the crops.
Bridge, whom we stated last week as
being one of the murderers o Campbell, has
been arrested, tried, and acquitted. We
learn from the Galena papers, that the Of
fee of the "Rockford STAR" was entered
by the mob on the night of the 9th instant,
and the type and fixtures so much injured
and mutuated, that the paper has been
obliged to discontinue. The alleged cause
for this transaction is, that the Star has
spoken out in condemnation Of the proceed
lngs Of the mob.
IN a good government Lynch Law can
never be justified. Lynch Law is the
stepping stone to anarchy, misrule and un-
comfortable violence. To say that the laws
Of the states, are inadequate to perform the
demands of human justice, is a libel upon
our government and institutions. 1t is a
foul charge, which the enemies Of repub-
licanism in Europe, have ever attempted
10 fastcn upon us, but one which we IN
theory have ever repudated and denied.
The Iynchcrs of the Driscalls, plead in Just
ifcation that the friends of good order,
were too wea., to enforce the law. and
bring the offenders to merted justice.---
his cannot be true. The same powe-
which was brought into requislion to bring
the Driscai.s before lynch tribunal, was
amply adequate 70 have brought them be-
fore leGa! court Of the State Of Illinois.
The laws of illinois for the apprehension,
conviction, and punishment of felons and
murderers, are as speedy and as rigid as
in any other State in the Union

SOUTHPORT, w. T., JULY %, l84l.

The village Of Southport was never better supplied
with goods and merchandise, than at present. Al
though we rank the second town in size Oh the Lake
shore north of Chicago still have nearly as ma
ny stores, the claiming to be the first in
rank. If our town continues to increase in popula-
ton and business in the manner il has done during
the two past years, the time is distant when we
shall rank the first in size among the towns in the
Territory. There have been a greater number OF
inhabitants added TO our population during the last
year than TO the population Of any :ownin Wiscon-
sin: there have also been greater number of build
ngs erected in this llage the past year, than have
been erected IN any other town in the Territory
Merchandise of every description can now be pur-
chased as cheap in Southport, in any other town
in Wisconsin.

Ic2fqee.-Tho system Of penny post
age, adopted in England, is beginning to
attract the attention Of this country. The
Providence Journal has the following re-
marks:
"Tho manner in which the sytem Of
penny postage is working in England must
be gratifying to the friends Of intelligence.
The reduction in the revenue Of the Post
OGce, wh:oh followed re change, is grad
uaIly diminishing. and the time will speed
liz cor1c VIXEN the revenue will be great
,r under the present system than under
the OLD one. The effect of this should
net be lost upon this country, w.:are the
rates Of postage are so enormous as TO
jr-rcdc The circulation Of intelligence and
10 diminish the income Of the department.
From enquiries hat We have made, vs.
are of opinion that not more than one-third
--propa5Iy not more than one-Guart0r Of
thc letters that pass between this city and
New T. or. are carried through the mail.
Was The postage reduced from Is 81 cts
10 5 cents, nearly all these letters, and
many CHEERS, would be sent by the mail
The same IS doubtless true Of other routes.
The high rates of postage check cores
pordenco, and drive n great portion of it
through pyivato conveyance. Few mea-
surcs could rot be more popular,o attended
villa r.ore solid advantage TO the country,
than G. reduction Of the rates of postage.
The vas. extent of the country and the
eparseress of the population in many dis
tricss forbid a reduction as great as thai
reduction to five, ten and fifteen cents, the
latter lor distances over five hundred miles,
might be made without any difficulty
We hope the sub, ect will be brought 10
the cerious attention of Congress,

One characteristic particularly no.ioe@
bic among the numerous fourth Of July
celebrations, which we're held throughout
the country is, that e unusual number Of
the celebrations were conducted on tempe
rance principles. This argues veil for
the progress Of correc: sentiments. Pa
tional men can appreciate rationa! liberty,
without intoxicating stimulan.s This in
teIlectual man, can appreciate the Ma
TONS birth day, and ENJOY good cheer,
without the aid Of the wine cup. The man
who needs alcoho! to quicken his mental
faculties, and to en!ven his social feelings,
must be sufferin5 under the affection Of
some mental discrepancy
