A few days ago we were shown letter from
New-York. stating that abou. 500 families are
ready 10 embark Cor Green Bay-ail bent uron
forming settlement some few miles from town,
being convinced, tney say, from all the infor1na-
,on thev can gather that this portion OF The Ter
1tory presents create, advantages to the emigrani
than any other; from the fact that NATURE hes
hardly single attraction but is here presented to
,he as,onishcd and be,yderea vision of the pass
ing traveller. The widespread prairie, decked in
the Sumner by flowers of every hue-iar as the
eye can reach, the tall, luxuriant grass waving
and flashing in the golden sun-beans-the lmPid
brook, gliding noiseicssiy through the distant
yale-now covered with the SHOWS of Winter,
anon in the Spring, smiling in al its loveliness-
the seoues,ered nook aud quiet vale; tie foamns
river and the roaring lake, all, all present their
yarjee ated charms on every hand.-Bu: a truce to
our wandering.
Good timber land and prairie arc found in abund-
ance TO suit the taste or fancy CT those desiring
either the one or the other, or portion OF each.
1t cannot be denied that this region affords better
and cheaper faclics for building than any other
part of Wissonsan; but on the contrary, great

portions of thi, Territory and the State of Illinois.
!. exported from Green Bayi consequently, we
have a decided advantage in this respect. 1t may
be alleged by our enemies, that our farming lands
arc 50 poor that they yield nothing but productions
of this kind Past Experience has taug ht US other
wise proving tho reverse to be the case; for there
is scarcely single agricultural production but can
be raised with ease, and brought to perfection, IN
great abundance.
The WATER. PowER in this section of the Ter
yitory is of ines,imabe value, it is found to any
disputed that is Of more importance than any other
West of Rochc,ter.) Six miles above this place,
{DEpgRE} there has already been created water
power of immense value, sufficient TO drive ma
chinery of almost every description, or 10 any e&-
tent: The dam is thrown across Fox ftlver-
keeping a double ssw-mil in constant operatan:-
we are informed that the present proprietors are
row busily engaged in preparing timber and other
materials for the construction OF an extensive
FIGURING. Mill, which will be completed during
the ensuing Summer; and understand also, that
an extensive building will shortly be erected for
machinery Of various descriptions such as for
plsniag flooring, siding, Sc. and turning lathe

upon our inland seas. There is large number OF
other Saw Mills in the immediate neig ghborhood CT

water-power can be found in great abundance
sufficient for any purpose. What more can be de-
sired when we remark, that with all these advan
tages our country is entirely free from all fats!
diseases, it being the most healthy part Of the |
Western Hemisphere
We have frequently conversed with gentlemen
who have travelled in almost every portion of the |
West, and there is not All instance within our
recollection where the palm has not been awarded
10 this section of Territory. Nature has done
every thing for Wisconsin; all we need to dcvelopo
her Internal resources as 10 proh. BY them, Is

NEW FOREIGN GRAss.-A grass has been
discovered in the Falkland Islands which is de.
scribed as we'll calculated to fauen stock, and 10
furnish food ct cheap for millions of cattle
we find the following account Of this valuable
grass in one OF our London papers Isis given in an
extrac, Of letter by gentleman connected with
Capt. Ross's Antarctic Expedition.to a friend III
Germany. The grass is especially mentioned as
being adapted for the heaths of Great Britain
The splendid ,ussack grass is the gold and glory
OF these islands. 1t will. hope, yet make the
fortune of Orkney and Irish landowners of peat
bogs. Every animal here feeds upon it with avid

ed and cut like the guinea grass of the West In
dies. The blades are about six feet long, and
from 200 to 800 shoots spring from oae plant. ]
have proved, by several experiments, that one man
can cut 100 bundles in day, and that horse
will greedily devouI FIVE of these in the same time.
Indeed so fond of i, are both horses and cows,
that they will the dry tussack thatch from the
roofs ofshe houses in preference to good grass
About four inches of the roo, eats like mountain
cabbage. 1t loves rank wet peat bog, with the
sea spray over it. Indeed, when the sea beats
with the greatest violence, and the spray is carried
