IMPORTANT TRIUMPH.

Before this note reaches you you will have received the
gratifying intelligence of the Wing triumph in New
Hampshire The State that sends Gen. JAMES WILSON
Congress sends powerful delegation though it should
sst of but individual No stsncher Wing than
he will go to the next National Legislature As generous
hearted man, ready and powerful speaker ardent pa
ot he will certainly be hailed Washington of the
most welcome members Of the House. There will be
found few taller in that body either in the literal

AMOS TUcK ESQ., elected in the First District, is gen
eman of intelligence and great private worth. He
mpeuous and energetic Gen. Wilson, but COOL deibe
rate, and trustworthy. He originally the ndcpendent
candidate, but supported BY the Wings with great unanimty
at the recent election. He will undoubtedly with the
Wings all great which the national welfare
involved and be found all times the consistent and uncom
promising foe of this Vanda crusade against Mexico.
And here let il be understood that triumph very
sgncan, Both Of candidates have been elected
the strength of their determined and frankly expressed hos
lity TO the Mexican When last year, the first
reached of the collision Of with the Mexicans
and the Wild startling, but deceptive cry rung the

sonal and political friend Of the incoming Governor ANTHo
Colby, poered the latter hervces in they
needed 1t the first impulse Of his heartas honest

guilty of the war, well the mbecty and Ieachery of

fact herean important one While, last March, Gen.
WILSON was considered standing pledged as volunteer
in the Mexican he defeated in this Congressional
district by 1900 majority against hiin-he Independent,
anti-wa party running third candidate. Since however,
he has taken determined aud bold stand against the
and the Administration, standing up in Legislature and
denouncng it, and washing his hands forever of all paric
patton in contest dscredac Government he has
back many Of his old friends We went into the late
struggle the 9Th Of july with the expressed pledge from
Gen WILSON that he would lift finger in the prosecu-
ton Of this war; but would plant himself firmly for justice
and humanity against all the folly Of President Polk and his
advisers See then, the result He is elected by 500 or
600 majority all others Let the contrvers Of the Mex

Allow me, in conclusion, to congratulate you the pros

You will perceive, gentlemen, that the object of thscom

But to return to my pcatoa remarks. Next to The sal
mon, the finest sporting fish Of this region is the trout Of
these have two Species the salmon and the common
trout OF the former believe there is but one Variety but
that is exceedingly fine fish for sport or the table, and
found in the lower tributaries Of the St Lawrence, from five
fifteen pounds They taken chiefly in the salt water
and possess flavor which the Of our Western lakes do
not OF the have least six varieties
differing however, only color for almost entirely
whte others brown, blue green, black, and
others yellow These taken every where in the ST. Law
renee and in all its tributaries Those of the Saguenay
are the largest most abundant and Of the quality.
Upon the whole inclined 10 this river down afford
ing the finest fishing that have enjoyed not
excepting that which have experienced at the Falls Of ST.
Mary in Michigan Almost every bay or cove IN the Sa-
guenay is crowded with trout and generally speaking the
rocks upon which you have 10 stand afford an abundance OF
swing and drop the fly In some OF the cove alluded
have frequently taken dozen twopound trout during the
single hour before Trout fishing in this region pos
charm which the angler seldom experiences IN the
and lakes of the United States which consists in his
uncertainty the character of his prize before he has land
ed him. for may be salmon trout, or irregular
built salmon, these fish all swim in the water tits
reported of celebrated angler of Quebec that he once spent
week the Esquemain, and captured within that time
seventy salmon and upwards Of hundred trout This
very large story but have faith enough believe it true.
And now for few remarks upon the fish of the Lower St.
Lawrence generally Cod taken to very great extent,
and constitute important article Of commerce. Herring
and mackere abundant also the habut and sardine
Shad also taken but in sufficient quantities TO export
The LOBSTER founder and oyster also found in this river,
and with few unimporant exceptions, these are the only
fish that flourish in this portion Of the great river The sea
bass, the striped bass, the blue fish, and the black fish, for
which should suppose these waters perfectly adapted are
entirely unknown And thus endeth another Of my angling
rhapsodes, and probably the last from this region.
