% The mail and stage facilities in Wisconsin,
under the new arrangements which took effect on
the first instant, greatly increased. There is
now trl-weekly line of mail stages, from Chicago
to Madison, via, Southport, Racine, Milwaukee,
and GAINESVILLE; and from Madison to Galena, via,
Mineral Point, and Platteville. Another trweekly
line, to be established in the early part of this
month, by Frink Walker g. co. will run direct
from Milwaukee to Madison, via, Fort Atkinson or
Aztalan, and from thence to Galena. Also, two
tr-weekly lines from Chicago to Madison, via
Rockford and GAINESVILLE.
traveller will now be enabled to reach the Mis-
sssippi in good stage coaches from Milwaukee, by
the way of the seat of government of Wisconsin, in
about two and half days, and probably in less
time.
The competition on these routes will have the eff
feet greatly to reduce the rate of fare and good
stage coaches to be furnished travelling through
Wisconsin will not only be hereafter very cheap,
but doubtless very pleasant.

she has added insult to injury, by sending among

moving a Governor whose efficiency and honesty

LEAD AND CoPpER.-Lead and copper are I'M
portant items of export from some of our lake ports
this season. From the quantity which has been
transported to Milwaukee alone, from the MIN
ing country, one would be led to suppose that
the business of Galena is pretty seriously nterfered
with, this point has heretofore been tie grand
if not the sole depot of the Wisconsin mining
region; but we informed, and credibly so too,
that there is not the least perceptbe diminution in
the lead trade of that town-that its purchases and
shipments of mineral are equal to what they have
at any time been. The only conclusion then is
that the quantity of lead and copper raised and
smeted thus far this year, has been greatly increas
ed, notwithstanding the depression of prices which
has existed and still exists -
An almost constant train of was CONS loaded with
the produce of the mines may be seen vending their
way from the mining region to Milwaukee; from
which port several millions of lead will doubtless
be shipped during the present season of navigation.
Most of these teams return loaded with lumber,
salt, &C., enabling the inhabitants in the interior
to get many necessary articles of consumption, at
much cheaper rate, so far as transportation is
cerned, than heretofore
A considerable quantity OF lead has found its way
to Southport for shipment this season. Ten or
twelve tons came in during the last week. About
fifty tons have been shipped from here since the
opening of nayi CATION.
We know of no why much lead and
copper should not find their way here for transport
tation to eastern markets, to Milwaukee. In
deed considering the general superiority of the
roads leading in this direction, those leading
toponts north. Considering, too. that the distance
to Southport, from the richest portion of the min
ing region, is less than to any other port upon the
lake, and that the facilities for shipping here are at
least not inferior to those possessed at northern
points, we are induced to believe that this place
must eventually have alarge share of the lead trade.
The only reason why this is not the case now. is to
be found in the fact that the advances made upon
the article at Milwaukee, So per hundred
while here but 81 have been paid.
We trust that by another season we shall have
of capital here prepared to enter into the pur-
chase of, or to make liberal advances upon, lead
which will secure to US large siprs Of this desi-
rable and increasing trade. SS

MILWAUKEE AND Rock RIVER CANAL LANDS
sale of portion of these lands, under authority
of an act of the Legislative Assembly, ordered
by the Governor of the Territory on the 9Th inst.
No bids are to be received at less than So so per
acre. The settlers the canal grant appear to be
much excited in relation to the matter, and they
have abundant reason to be so. Jud gng from the
tone of the resolutions passed at of their meet
ings, they determined to resist the sale. They
speak of the object for which these lands were do
naed-all hope of the accomplishment of which has
now entirely failed:-of the false inducement viz:
''the speedy construction of the canal that led to
the settlement of the reservation, at double the
price of other public lands and which it was said
would enhance the value of the lands to much more
than the increased price the settlers compelled
to pay Tor them. They speak of "golden promi-
ses set forth already broken and contend that the
lands cannot be secured to the Territory according
to the act making the grant, but must necessarily
revert to the source from whence they derived,
and come into market at 81 % per acre, or be d.
verted from their original and legitimate object, and
be offered for sale at uncertain and perhaps ex-
travagant price, to the detriment of settlers. They
say, too, that the money is sought to be obtained
from the sale of the land for the purpose of creating
a hydraulic power at Milwaukee, instead of con-
structng canal; and among other things
ReSolred, That it is inexpedent for appli-
cants for canals lands under the act Of our
Legislative Assembly Of February, ID,
1912, to purchase their lands at the ensuing
lands sale on the 9th Of July, but that their
interest is to wait the further action Of our
national Legislature, whose agnanimity
aud sense Of justice we confidently believe
will secure to us our homes upon The same
footing as other settlers upon the public
lands.
Reso1red, That we will use every exer-
ton to proven, the sale Of any canals lands
at the coming sale, and that we request the
citizens Of our neighboring towns on the
reserve, to unite with us in preventing the
sale of any Of said lands until the further
action Of Congress on the subject.

Diet betaceen James Watson Webb and Thomas
f. MarshaU--The New-York Sunday Morning
News, of The Goth ult. contains postscript giving
an account of duel having been fought between
James Watson Webb, of the New-York Courier
and Enquirer, and Thomas F. Marshall of Ken
lucky, member of the House of Representatives of
the United States. We publish the substance of
the particulars, but cannot vouch for their correct
ness.
The parties met at 4 o'clock on the morning of
Saturday, the Goth ult. They fought with pistols
at ten PAGES The first fire proved Intellectual on
either side; at the second fire, Webb received Mar
shalrs ball in his right leg Immediately below the
knee AT this stage of the affair the seconds inter-
tered, and the parties expressed themselves recon-
clled; having satisfied the demands of honor. The
scene of action was near the dividing line between
Delaware and Pennsylvania. On the termination
of this honorable meeting, Mr.. Webb Immediately
returned to NewYork City, and Mr.. Marshall
proceeded to Washington. Such in substance, is
the account, as contained in the above mentioned
paper if it be correct it adds but another stain on
our national character.
But yesterday, we eulogized Thomas F. Mar
shall, and attempted to hold up the brilliancy of
his under the glorious reform in which he but
recently enlisted: to day, we tell of his acts of false
honor, and leave him to the scorn and contempt of
the virtuous. As for James Watson Webb, he has
no reputation to lose, for he is man proverbally
unprncipled and prohigate. And if the wound he
is said to have received sends him limpng on his
journey to the grave the remainder of his days, but
few will regret it.

THE CROPS.

Notwithstanding the long continued drouth in
the early part of the season, and the severe frost
with which some parts of the Territory were visited
few weeks since, there is likely to be, Judging
from present indications, at least an average ifno
more than average crop of most kinds of grain,
raised in Wisconsin this year. Corn has been Sc
verey injured by cold weather and frosts, and fears
may reasonably be entertained that this article Of
produce will fall short throu ghout the west gener-
ally, but wheat, both winter and spring, so far as
our observation has extended through the interior
of the Territory looks fair, and many farmers with
whom we have conversed, anticipate an abundant
harvest. Accounts generally quite favorable,
so far as the prospect of good wheat crop is con-
cerned; and we cannot therefore believe that there
is any ground for the approximations we have heard
expressed that there will be failure, any serious
extent of this great STAPLE in any part OF
try this year.
