GALEsA. III. Oct. l. lsH.
An Election took place week ago yesterday
IN our neighboring Territory of Wisconsin for
Members of the Legislative Assembly From
the returns have been able to gather, believe
the Locos will have majority IN both branches.
Gov. Tallmadge has arrived at Madison, the
territorial Seat OF Government. From what l
heard, have no doubt that he has turned an
other sumulerset, and is on; FOR Polk and Texas
The Wings in tie Territory seem glad OF TINS
detection, for they say row they will have
straigh,out Wig Governor soon after the Ath
OF March next, and one upon whom there IS no
Tyler curse. Gen. Hugunia has lately been re-
moved as Marshal of the Territory, to MAKE
room ior NJ. Provost, nice young man, ana
a son.in.law OF Mr.. Sutherland, the great Tyler
Loco Foco of Philadelphia.
The steamboat Potosi, on her upward tnp
from St Louis to Galena, burst one OF her boil
ers at Quincy by which three men were IN
s,autlv killed ana about twenty sca!ded. 1t was
doubtless The result Of gross carslessness.
A new and valuable discovery OF Copper Ore
has lately been made in the kickapoo country,
Wisconsin. about twelve miles above Prairic du
Chien, and SIX miles from the Mississippi River.
The propretors Of the discovery, Messrs. Ster-
ling and Messersmith have sent specimen OF
the ore, weighing about one hundred pounds, 10
the Editor OF the Galena Gazette. The ore is
said tc be about seven per cent. richie. than that
found about Mineral Point, and, from its appear
ance, should Judge it would yield about twenty
per cent. OF pure Copper. About 1000 pounds
of the ore is raised daily, and the lode is proved
for some distance ahead, and the mineral in
creases in quantity the farther they go. There
is no doubt in my mind that the Mineral Point
and kickapoo country is much better Copper
region than the Lake Superior country, which is
making 50 much talk just at this time.
The following, from the Galena Gazette, will
show that our little Governor Is again fishing for
Mormon votes What language is sufficiently
strong to characterize such conduct?
