When We were seventy or hundred miles from

PIRACY,

about | | o'clock nj night three boats were seen
approaching the ship. The persons on board
concealed themselves, and the pirates hauled

one of the gang venturing on board was seized
and promptly secured. Those on board were
armed and threatened 10 shoot every person
that intertered with them. stating that their
muskeis were loaded with buck shot. few
round shots into the boat and the falling Of a
large stone upon them, rather jampened their

PIRATIcAL.-.-lt is stated in the New Orleans
Bee. that before Com. Moore sailed from New
Orleans, Commissioners arrived there from Tex
as with instructions from Pfes't Houston, to de-
mand the vessels Of war from the Commodore.
e. TO apply to the United States authorities for
aid in taking possession of them in case their
surrender was refused. They had also proc
lama,ion from Presiden, Houston denouncng
the expedition as pira,ical in case the vessels
could not be taken. The Commodore intima
ted to them that he would proceed TO Calves.
ton, and have a talk with the President, which
induced them to keep quiet. One Of the Com.
missioners went on board the Austin % 90 with
the Commander to Galveston. But at The Ba-
lize he was told that if he wanted to get TO
Texas soon. he had better 60 on shore, as the
Commodore would not be there in a hurry.

MADISON, WISCONSIN.

Important Uofey Po,cer. While on our re-
cent visit TO the East, enquiries were frequent
ly made of Us relative 10 the water power a.
forded by the stream which connects the Third
and Fourth Lakes, between which Madison IS
situated, and which 10 we'll known to be capa'
BILE Of being employed to the most important
extent for milling and manufacturing purpo-
ses.
The Fourth or the most northeTly OF the
chain Of the -Four lakes, is elevated above the
third abou, three feet. The stream by which
the waters Of the former are discharged into
the latter is abou. one mile in length-of great
rapidity Of current. and large volume OF wa
ter, not percep,ibly increased or diminished in
seasons Of flood or drought.
The importance Of permanent supply OF
water, unvaried az every season of the year,
when applied to manufacturing purposes, can
not be TOO highly estimated.
/ Il is now high time that this valuable water
power should be improved. The increased
population Of the town Of Madison and the
surrounding country demands the erection Of
ssw Il gris,-mils a, the Capital Of Wisconsin,;
and we hazard nothing 10 saying, that any in
dividual, or company, who would take the mat
ter in hand purchase or lease the property.
| (Which can be done on moderate ierms) and g.
rect mills, could not fail 20 realize handsome
fortune ia few years.
A capital Of $4,000 or els, 900 so invested.
could not fail to be increased FIVE fold in five
or six years.
The Fourth Lake, from which water would
be supplied to the mills. is thus correctly dss-
cribed by Capt. Cram, Of the Typographical
Engineers. in his report published By act OF
Congress in 1889:
The Fourth Lake, which is the summit lake,
has periphery Of l9i miles, and covers an a.
rea Of 1865 square mles. Its longest diane
tor bears due east and west, and is six miles
in length; and the transverse diameter, perpen-
dicular thereto is A miles long. The water 10
this lake is cold and pure, and Of depth sof-
ficient for all purposes Of navigation for small
s,esmers.--The land bordering upon it is billy,
unduIating and in many places broken. On
the north side ii is well ,imbered. chiefly with
hard wood. and lime and silicious stone are
found in abundance: the quality thereof, how
ever, has no, been sufficiently tested to enable
one TO form just estimate Of its value for
building purposes.
From information derived from his Excel
lency Governor Dodge. it is inferred that ca
nal. having The fourth lake for its summit res
ervoir, might be easily constructed between
this lake and the Wisconsin river. This To-
dams are said to have made their passage thro'
with their canoes, in time Of high water. Il
would be well TO examine the ground along
this route. with a view to test the feasibility
Of opening suitable canal; and, if found prac-
ticable, plans and estimates Of the cost of con-
structon should be made. Wisconsin Enqui-

MlsISG..--We perceive by the Mineral Poin,
paper. tina. Mr.. J. ID. Ansly is advertising for
miners, to go with him to the copper region on
Lake Superior. Mr.. A. with some friends has
obtained permi, to select 81 900 acres of land
in three tracts of 5000 acres each, on which
10 carry on his operations; and from his knowl-
edge OF the country and the mining business,
we have little doubt that he will make it a
profitable undertaking. His frs, attempts at
mining will be in the vicinity of Copper Har-
