1t is certainly gratifying to learn that Wlskon-
San is becoming generally known, and her
nunberless attractions are being properly appre-
ciated by those who arc seeking genial climc IN
which they can establish themselves in the iull
possession and enjoyment of quiet home. we
have been led to make these remarks by the
cheering intelligence which salutes our ears
hundreds and thousands are constantly pouring
into every part Of the Territory the tide oi cm-
grafton is flowing to WISCONSIN, and some thou
sands have already landed and are choosing their
homes from the choicest locations, while thousands
more are preparing to follow. From the present
indications we may well suppose that our popn-
lation. at the next census, will be upward oil
seventy thousand. If there is any section TO DE
found in the Territory that offers attractions, or
presents advantages superior to any other portion
of the luxuriant and fertile West, 1t IS GREEN
BAY and the surrounding couptry. a large por-
ton of the land in the immediate ncighborhood
10 heavily tInbered; the soil cannot be exceeded !;
the climate will vie with the sunny cline oil italy
in regard 70 mii,lness and for health, challenges
the world. Ito produce specimen. The greatest
fuult TO be found with this section OF the ler.i-
forv fif il Gin be Yaa a fault, Nature mas
uone TOO much Tor US; as 1t seems TO nave
created an apathy rather than stmuant We
lack energy; tina, energy which causes other
communities to make exer'ions so that they may
be improved and benefited by a proper use of the
advantages bestowed upon them by the liberal
hand OF Nature. In addition to the privileges
she has bestowed upon us. Nature beautifully
supplies us with watcr-powcr sufficient for any
enterprise, and the extent Of which is almost IN
limited she has furnished timber of every de-
scription suitable for the construction of whatever
the mind Of man can coniurc, from the little cot
tugc, to the floating mansion that SKINS over the
blue wavc like q thing of life. Not only has she
proyited all this, but bene2th the surface she has
Embedded rich treasures only needing enterprise
and capital to develop and benefit by them. Iron
ore is found in great abundance IN the immediate
vicinity OF the town Of Green Bay; specimens oil
Copper, discovered near by, lead TO the suppo-
siton that large quantities OF this valuable mineral
abound at no great distance from the surface OF
the soil. Specimens of Stone Coal have also been
picked up. Nature has not forgotten to bcstow her
rich blessings onthe Agnculturis! ana the Minerals
ist alone Commerce shares them literally. a
1horoughiare is provided through the heart OF one
of the most delightful countries the eye of man
ever rested upon. But Nature has, IN marking
ont this great channel By which communica-
ton can be formed between the Atlantic cities
and the interior of Iowa Territory, left something
the imagination 10 overcome the few trivial OBJ
struc,ions, and gaze upon the sublime grandeur
OF the stupendous work, when completed and III
operation. The difficulties can be surmounted
with very little labor and expense, considering
the Important benefits the whole country expects

been, and still IS looked upon us q work Of Ma
tional Importance; consequently, nothing has
been done toward Its accomplishment BY the CHI.

done nothing, and the people have based theig

Ii now behoves the people TO take the matter
into their own hands, and devise means to pro-
