The lands in the mineral regions, embrsc'.
ed ~ the anove proclamation OF the Pres.
dent Of the UHlted States, are believed 10
contain The richest mines oil lead that have
yet been discovered; the ore yielding about
eighty per cent. of pure metal. Copper.
also, has been found in this region in con-
siderable quantities.
Great advantages are said to exist for the
manufacture of lead in various forms, par
ticulary into shot; The river banks being so
elevated as TO require little 70 no expense in
the erection II towers; aud The ore. iIom lis
great purity, may be manufactured into shot
by the first sEIslti0g.
The location Of these mines being near the
Mississippi Iiyer, affords great facilities OF
transportation, the average cost Of which 10
81 Louis is about fifteen cents per hundred
pounds. The sol! is represented as being
unusually fertile. producing all the small
grains in great abundance, and furnishing
excellent range Tor caille-thus presenting
equal inducements 10 The agriculturisl anu
the miner.
The DUBUQUE mines in fractional
tow aslPs eighty eight. eight nine, and
ninety, CT range two east, situated on The
banks Of the Mississippi, are considered the
most importaOt, the DURANGO mines in
townships eighty nine ami ninety. Of range
one east, are the next in value; and The
CA T!ESE mines in fractional town ship
eighty eight, OF range three east also On tue
river, are the third O,her mines have been
discovered in this region; and it is very pro,

light Others as rich and productive as AM

Try, but for The especial benefit Of western

dy unsurpassed in ability and practical

GEkrus AND CRrME.-If we regard
narrowly the lives Of great criminals, we
are often very much startled by the extra
ordinary acuteness 1.-The profound calcula.
tion--the patient, meditative energy which
they have employed upon the conception
and execution of crime. We feel inclin-
ed to think that such intellectual power
would have commanded great distinction,
worthily used and guided; but we never
And that these great criminals seem TO
have been sensible to the opportunities to
real eminence which they have thrown
away. Often we observe that there has
been before them vistas into worldly great
ness, which, by no uncommon prudence
and exertion, would have conducted honest
men, halt as clever, to fame and power !;
but. with strange obliquity Of vision,
they appear to have looked from these
broad, clear avenues, into some dark tang
led defle, in which, by the subtilest inge.
inui.y, and through the most besetting
perils they may attain at last to the success
of fraud, or, the enjoyment Of vice. In
crime once INDUCED, there is wonderful
fascination-an the fascination is, not
rarely, great in proportion to the intellect
IF the criminal. There is always hope Of
reform for dull, uneducated, stolid man,
led by accident or temptation into guilt !;
but where man of great ability, and
highly educated, besots himself into the
intoxication Of dark and terrible excite
ment., takes impure delight in tortuous
and shiny ways, the good angel abandons
him forever Bulwer.

Vagaries Of the Moon.

aYes, knows all that said the watch
man; s'but it's no matter whether l does

"You shall get quarter -that is, three

said the watchman.
"Thsn you exiinguish the light Of my

g Not bit of it, said the Waterman
sfor instead Of putting you out, put you
in.' And SO, without saying more on
the subject, he took of Moon to the Gala
boose, place where he had often been
before.
He was Immediately recognized by the
officer Of the night, whose first saluta,ion
to him was
s'Why, Moon, when do you rise!''
az don't rise at ALL said Moon--"I'm
on the Decline"
"And so you have let yourself be taken
up again." said the officer. '.Well, Mr..
Moon" he added, 81 will not pretend to
say that you are made Of green cheese; bu!
from the number Of times which you
have recently let yourself fall into the
hands Of the watch, l do say that you
must be composed of some very verdanl
