the one north has some of the finest
pine forest in the world. From many
of the trees there can be taken SIX IL
foot saw logs, without extending far
into the timber: as we 60 north the
soil is vastly improves; part OF 1t
being well timbered with sugar, elm,
hickory, aspen, birch, &c. For few
days past, | have been at lumber
mans cabin, on business pertaining to
the survey. There are now eleven
saw-mills on Black River, and near
two hundred lumbcrmen engaged in
the pinery. They are a hardy set
live in their own cabins, drink their
own whiskey and cook their own pro-
visions, independent of all but Uncle
Sam, who justly owns the timber, but
as be is a nonresident, they consider
it no sin TO take his timber, saw it in
to lumber and float it down his great
river to ST. Louis. where they easily
exchange it for money. Black River
Falls is in the south part of township
81, and is destined to be place of
considerable Importance, and should
there ever be new county set off, the
Falls will probably be the seat of JUS
Itice. Itnow contains splendid saw
mill, tavern, store, blacksmith shop,
with some six or eight dwelling houses.
The lumbermen have erected their
cabins on the bank of the river, or its
tributaries; construct their RATS in the
spring, and each year thousands of
dollars worth OF lumber is foated
down the river into the Mississippi,
and from there to the southern mar
kets, which by prudent management,
repays them I've fold their privations
and tolls. Their occupation makes
them robust and hearty, and when con-
gregated together, merier fellows
cannot be found, for tn irameetings
are generally graced with = Cards and
bottle of 'cure for all care. -
Illinois Conuention.--The Consti-
tutional Convention, at the last ac-
counts, was hammering away with
considerable force on the clause about
banking. 1t is pretty evident from
several votes that have been cast, that
no clanse prohibiting the establishment
of banks in any form will be inserted
in the new Constitution; but, there
may be danger, that majority of the
Convention are so fearful that the PED
pie are unqualified to choose competent
legislators for themselves, that they
will feel compelled to insert some
clause that will answer the purpose OF
tail or rudder, 10 bring every thing
into a right line again, according to
the habits of seeing common TO their
optics, by reterencebof banking law
TO a direct popular vote. Such a
clause would do no good; il would be
put in merely as sort of foot block,
to enable few demagogues 10 get
down from a acknowledged hobby
with greater ease. We have little re-
spect for them, and care not how they
get down, and would prefer that no
man throw them pole TO crawl of on.
At any rate the whole voting popula-
ton of the State should not be invited
TO become their stirrup holders, at any
time or in any manner. The whole
subject of banking should be left to
the free and untrammeled action OF the
people, in their legislative capacity.
