HARBoR AT MILwAUKEE.-There has
been considerable excitement in town for
the past few days among the citizens, on
account of the rumors afoat respecting the
location Of the Harbor. In order to place
the matter in the right shape, it will be ne
cessary to state that from some cause or
other portion Of the people here are frm-
ly in tho belief that Capt. Cram, Who is the
superintendent Of the work is hostile to the
best ntereets OF the town; being, as is re-
ported property holder at Racine. and
the owner Of real estate west Of that place.
The Trustees o. the village held a mee-
ting on Saturday, and sent their clerk with
a note to Capt. Cram, requesting him to
inform them Of the probable location of q
Harbor. The Captain replied TO their note,
and stated that it would be improper for
him to divulge what was blended only for
the Typographical bureau at Washington.
The citizens generally assembled, and senr
committee also to wal, upon the Captain.
He gave them the same reasons that were
given the Trustees. The citizens not be-
ing satisfied. and fearing that the harbor
might be located, at a point detrimental to
the interests Of commerce, The village and
the country, resolved to raise the WAYS and
means, and to send an individual forthwith
TO Washington; to ask Of the Bureau, tina,
a corps of disin,erestcd Engineers may be
selected to locate the harbor. The resou-
ton was carried into effect, and on Monday
morning the Hon. Mr.. STow started for
ashington. MIL. Sen.

ston are preparing grave stones. &c. from
marble found in this county, which is E.
quail in many respects to most Of the sec.
ondary marbles found in the United States,
as any Of our readers NAV ascertain for
themselves by calling at their shop IN tho
west ward. See advertisement in another
co'amn.) 1t is said 10 exist in exhaust
bic quantities. and in layers Of from two
to six inches in thickness. The color is
light grey with darker colors in irregn-
lar spots, but there is so little difference
in the color that at "A little distance it ap-
pears uniform. In hardness and fineness
of texture. and consequently in durability,
the Milwaukee ma rble exceeds most Of the
other marbles Of this country. 1t is capn-
bic Of receiving a high polish and its APP
pearance is clear, uniform and beautiful.
We congratulate the people Of this county
in having found so valuable an addition to
our resources Of wealth andIit il to be-
hoped that this marble will enter largely
as a material in all the ne ~ buildings about
to be erected in this town.

THREE PERSONS MURDERED BY
THE INDIANS.

We are indebted TO a correspondent at
Prairie du CHEN, for the following eytraet
Of letter from gentleman al Fort At
k'nson, on Turkey River, Iowa Territory.
to friend at the former place dated March
9th. 1S43:
Last evening, about 6 o'clock, Mr..
Lowry and his son Syvanus came up
here, bringing the news Of the murder Of
three whites, living in WiIcox's settlement,
particulars as follows:-Three Winneba
goes, belonging to Little HIPS Band. went
down on Thursday night or Friday morn
ing alter whlskey, rs they said; not find
ing a sufficient quantity on hand, they re-
manned until Friday e.ening,-at which
time one Banel arrved--they pretended to
find fault with the price, &C., so as to get
up quarrel. One Of the Indians then shot
man by the name OF A,well; they then
bound the other and killed him with toma-
hawk; his name was Zegardner, Cor T.
Gardner.) They then tonaha wLed three
children. five persons, being all there was
in tho house and supposed that they had
killed them. They then took possession
of the whiskcy, then set the house on fire
and left. The eldest boy, aged 10, and q
little girl were not killed-one received
five stabs, the other threc-the bow so far
recovered before the building burnt, as to
be able TO take his fathers watch, over coat
and boots. and fifty dollars in gold, and
alsoIhis little sister, land then started towards
WilcoX's house, which was distant one
mile. He was found in The morning. both
etfrozen to the ankle. 1t is supposed
that he and his sister will die soon.
Capt. Sumner, with MS usual prompt
ness, left the Fort with his mounted men,
within fol tyminutes after the news reached
him; determined that neither cold nor the
darkness of the night should prevent him
from bringing to justice, the perpetrators
Of this horrible deed.
He returned this moning. about past 8
O'Clock, with nine Indians as hostages. and
at O'Clock started again in pursuit Of the
murderers. He overlook them about four
miles south Of the agency, (Winnebago)
and returned here ut 10 O'Clock, A. NJ.
with them. He released the hostages. and
put balls and chains on the guilty: they
cannot escape. A more prompt movement
was never made with troops; they were out
all night, and a very severe night it was

A BALLAD.
ny TOM HOOD. IN

BY TOM HOOD, JR.
There nved an honest fisherman,
knew him passing we'll
Who dwelt hard by little pond,
Within little dell.
A grave and quiet man was he,
Who lov'd his hook and rod
30 oren ran his line of life,
Ills neighbors though it odd.
For science, and for books, he said
He never had wish
No school to him was worth fig,
Except "school of fish,
This single minded fisherman
A double calling had
To tend his focks in winter time,
In summer, fish for shad.
In short, this honest fisherman
All other tolls forsook,
And though no vagrant man was he,
He liv'd by shook or crook"
All day that fisherman would sit
Upon an ancient log,
And gaze into the water, like
Some sedentary frog.
A cunning fisherman was he,
His angles all were right
And when he scratched his aged poll,
You'd know he'd got bite.
To charm the fish, he never spoke
Although his voice was fine,
He found the most convenient way
Was just to "drop a line
And many "gudgeon" of the pond,
If made to spead today,
Would own, with grief. this angler had
A mighty "aking aray."
One day, while fishing on the log,
He mourn'd his want of luck
When suddenly he felt bite,
And jerking-caught Ii duck.
Alasl that day the fisherman
Had taken too much grog,
And being but landsman, too,
He couldn't "keep the log"
In vain he strove with all his might,
And tried to gain the shore
Down. down., he went, to feed the tish
He'd baited oft before!
The moral of this mournful tale,
To all is plain and clear
A single "drop too much of rum,
May make watery bier.
And he who will not sign the pledge"
And keep the promise fast,
May be, in spite of fate, stiff
COLd- o1Gter man at last.
