RESOURCES or WISCONSIN.

1t may not be amlss at the present time
when the newspapers of adjacent States
are making such 4 pompous display oil
statistical tables, to take cursory view
of the resources of our Young territory.

as well premise that our population mum
bers only about 200 00) who are scat
tered over a territory larger than any OF
the States. save Texas and that exact
statistics of trade cannot well b. obtained.
Nevertheless, by careful estimates we can
approximate near n correct result. Oar
great staples are grain, (wheat,) mineral,
(lead,) and lumber. The surplus of wheat
this year was not less than 200 600
bushels, and the average price on the lake
shore was not less than $3.50 900. Ii to
this we add corn and other agricultural
productions, the amount would doubtless
reach S2jO,O0O more - making 1,O0O,-
coo in the aggregate. OF the lead trade,
it is safe TO say that Wisconsin produces
eight-tenths Of the whole yield. The cit
izens of Galena, il is estimated, will paw
rising Of 90 100000 for it this year, and
our miners will doubtless get s 100000
of This sum. In the lumber trade it is
more difficult to estimate, but we think it
may be stated at s5OO,OOo. Here, then,
from these three branches of industry, our
citizens receive in cash or goods, at least
50, 600, 900. This would give to every
man, woman and child in the Territory,
$50; or, estin ating families 81 four per-
sons each, $500 to each family. This
sum, althougR not very unequally distrib-
uted. we are satisfied is rot far from the
present yearly gain of industry in this
happy country. Nowhere does the same
population produce a greater amount of
wealth - and, we may add, in no State is
1T more equally divided. WIS Argus.

A GOOD ONE.

4 laughable incident occurred at Nam
.;ucket, a short time since, which is too
good to be lost. A couple of young ladies,
whose high spirits are equalled only by
their beauty, and who love an innocent
prank with intimate friends, have really
seen the elephant the modus operandI
OF which will not soon be forgotten By
them. Just at twilight they called 1.-THE
Ocean House TO see a gentleman and his
wife, and, as usual, proceeded to their
private parlor. Upon entering, they saw
a gentleman with his back 10 the door
and. presuming IT was their friend. they
silently approached, and one clapped her
hands over his ewes, the other seziBg his
hands. The gentleman struggled man.
fully, but, taken by surprise, for some
time his efforts to free himself were una
,vailing. At length, after severe tussle,
his tormentors laughing right merily the
while, he shook his asscihntS OFF and
confronted them. The laughter instantly
ceased, and gave place to solemn looks
and deep bushes. The fixed fact stared
them in the face that instead Of their
friend, they had been playing their pranks
upon an entire stranger - none other
than his honor Judge Ward. 1t is unnec-

BENNETT, OF the New York Herald, in
bis recent correspondence, thus speaks of
the condition of England:
The aristocracy maintain 400 900 ser
wants, 900, 900 horses, 500 900 dogs, 100,
900 grouse, and 500 900 game of all kinds,
al! to minister 10 their pride and pleasure.
These men. beasts and birds, consume
the food of idIeness which would feed the
starving Irish and others of the lower
class. Here is the dangerous condition
that is increasing In magnitude every
year, and reaches o crisis whenever any
of the crops fail.
In population of 1000, 600, which
Is nearly the number of the three king
doms, only about 5000 are electors, OF
which 43, 900 hold oil The land Of the En-
pire, including mountains, hills, rocks,

POSITION OF Gen. SCOTT.


The feelings manifcstly prevalent a.
mong the population of the city of Mexi-
CO, since 1t capture, are calculated to in
crease greatly the difficulties of our army.
The New-O cleans Times says:
All the letters we have seen from Mex
leo, treating of the feeling on this subject,
represent the population that is the masses,
In the capital rs extremely sore, in look
ing at the occupation of their city by the
occurring, through the carelessness of our
soldiers; as many as eight or ten night
have been killed.
We cannot help believing that much of
this active treacherous hostility is gene
rated by the sight of the mere handful of
men by whom the metropolis Is held
Their personal vanity is wounded as well
as their national pride, in viewing them
selves subjugated and kept down by SO
small numerical force. If Gen. Scott
had 80 or 10000 men with him, there
would be an excuse for their quiet resig-
nation to their fate; but their hearts are
co-roded by the reflection that the Amer
leans are equivalent to them in The pro-
portion of one to ten, and with the fact
of the small army of barely 1000 men
which keeps them down, staring them in
the face, they will plot, and cabal, and
stab, and murder our defencoless soldiers,
as often as they have chance.
The New-Orleans Bulletin SAYS:
We have heretofore felt no anxiety for
the safety Of Gen. Scott, and have so ex-
pressed ourselves, but we now see great
cause for uneaS ness, and shall most sin
cerely rejoice TO hear of the successful
progress of the achievements un Ter Maj.
Lally and Gen. Lane. The enemy, OF
course, will be fully aware Of the import
ance to impede, and, # possible, to cut off
these columns, and viii make every pos
sible exertion to do so.
As they have lost their capital. and as
there is he probability that Gen. Scott can
