WE MUST HAVE A RAILROAD.

The Northwest is lagsing. The world
is running away from Us. Look around US.
See our undeveloped resources; our fertile
lands Neutrality-suspicious. rich mineral lands
intellectually scratched ever on their surface
our streams idly running, which ought TO
propc all sorts Of machinery Our villages
languishing--our farmers troubled to barter
off their produce at ruinous prices, for goods
at an enormous proft--our population, as a
whole, living without the convenences
and Injuries which should always reward
patient industry--why is all this! Simply
for want Of easy communication with the
great markets Of the world. Western
Wisconsin must arouse. We have slept
long enough Something must be done;
and If any thing is 10 be done, we must do
il for ourselves Chicago saw the necessi-
~ Of railroad 70 Galena, and she went TO
work at il and win bald L. Western Wis
oonsin must DO put IN communication with
that railroad. a branch Of that road from
Rockford % Japesyille end from GAINESVILLE
west through Madison and Dodgevile to
Potosi, on the river, can and ought 10 he
commenced al both ends within six months
Milwaukee will build a road to Janesville;
and then, upon completion of the whole
system, we should he connected by railroud
with Milwaukee, Chicago, and all the East.
Even The beginning of such work, would
revive the Northwest, like the resurrection
in the valley of dry bones. The main road
viii be buiIt--so can the lateral road be
bnilt. Milwaukee, and all of Wisconsin
west of Milwaukee, would put the shoulder
to such an enterprise. The Union Rail-
road would encourage it--all the people of
our State would lend their aid TO il. The
distance is but one hundred miles. A route
can be taken which would cross no stream
and require little orno grading. IL is a nat
ural ridge or back bone of the globe, for
the whole distance.
Congress would give the alternate Sec
lions OF ihnu upon tue fouic, 10 u'u w It's
completion, as Congress has just done in
Illinois, TO aid 10 constructing the Illinois
central Railroad from Chicago north. Now
is the time to net. We should get memo
rial before Congress, from the Legislature
now sitting at Madison, asking Cor such an
appropriation OF land. TO do this, people
must meet in primary assemblies and discuss
the subject and move the Legislature TO ac-
ton. The lake shores, the Mississippi, the
towns upon Fox and Rock rivers must move
in 1.-THE whole people must put il in mo-
ton, and IL trW more. Who will recon-
mend the time for such meeting in Potosi

important Inventions.

MIR. David lsham, machinist OF Hart
ford, Connecticut, has recently invented
process by which cast iron can be convert
ed, almost Instantly, and with but slight ex-
pense and labor, into steel. Twenty min
iron into steel oil the best quality, a process
ordinarily requiring from six to ten days
The inventor has heen Altered $4,000 for
the patent right for the State of Pennsylya-
MIA alone. Articles manufactured from
steel thus prepared, have been proved and
found equal TO those manufactured from the
best English steel. If this invention is re-
ally what it purports 70 be, it will destroy
one great branch Of English labor and add
much to the wealth Of this country.
The Rev. Mr.. Pepper, Presbyterian
clergyman of Albany, n. Y, has invented
a compound of clay, called Agrillo, which
resembles in structure and appearance the
richest, variegated agates. Ii Is TO be used
for door knobs, payements, table tops, and
other ornamental articles. 1t surpasses in
brilliancy any known variety of marble,
and is equally cheap. The Hartford Wing
speaks Of il IN the following terms:
mo one, who has not seen il can form
an idea of its beauty an iuimitable variety
of color. Ii is so hard as 10 resist any
scratch except that of a crystal or diamond.
Already, Mr.. Calhoun has introduced in
the Senate resolution, which passed in
stantly, to the effect, that all the floors Of
the public offices in the Capitol should be
made of this beautiful material. Spring

Eating and Drinking ON the ocean.

Eating and Drinking on the Ocean.
The Glasgow Herald furnishes The fol-
lowing curious particulars Of the style of liy-
ing on board the Cunard steamers
Each ship on her outward trip il supplied
with % dozen Of port wine, leo dozen Of
sherry. 100 dozen of champagne, so dozen
OF Madeira, 90 dozen of hook, aO0 dozen Of
soda water and lemonade, 500 dozen of
Scotch ale, and 400 dozen of London por-
ter, besides spirits of all kinds. There are
also ample stores of ice and an abundant
supply Of fresh water.
Each ship is victualled for twenty.one
days, aud carries at least 1900 lbs. of beef.
mutton and pork, fresh and packed in ice.
Then there are IS dozen of fowls, 4 dozen
of geese, dozen of ducks, dozen of tur-
keys. o dozen of pigeons, and one dozen of
roasting pigs besides ample store of tongues.
calves heads, &c. Milk is furnished by
the cow, though each ship also carries a
supply of 40 GALLONS, which is packed in
ice, and keeps fresh and sweet till the end
of the passage. The baker turns out 200
loaves or rolls per diem, and the confection-
err is never idle. u
Breakfast begins at half-past eight, and the
cloth is removed at ten. There is lunch at
tWtlfe anu ui1DeT at iouT. cd - server
at seven; and then follow snacks, wine,
punch, toIdy, gin-;lings, &c.-that is, for
those who want tEem--tll half-past eleven,
when the stewards bar is closed, and the
lights are out by twelve. Such is life on
board translantic steamer; and in the sum-
ner it is said TO be becoming quite common
I for parties to make pleasure trip to Amer
/ lea, in the fashion that people go up the
! Rhine. There have even been occasions
in which young married people have spent
their honey moon in trip TO Halifax, fly
4 ing visit to Niagara and New York, and a
return voyage to England, and all in six
4 weeks. s

The Democratic Nominccs.

Those who think that GEN. CAss will re-
ccive the united support Of his party for the
presidency, will find themselves wo(ully
mistaken. Barnhurners of New York
and of Pennsylvania, viii nerer support
him. He will meet with strong opposition
from the party IN Wisconsin. He viii new
er get the vote of Maine or Of New Hanip-
shire. The Democracy Of the lakes both
in Illinois and Wisconsin,. win oppose him.

The Springfield Republican says that on
Sunday, about P. NJ, when the foreign
news was going over the Telegraph line for
the New York papers, and nearly half COM
municated, the lightning must have struck
the wire somewhere south of Springfield
The effect of it was to burst the magnet
there, with report as loud as pistol. AT

n5- The National EnteIIigencer says:

g In nominating Mr.. Cas-, il must be adj
mitted that the Conventions have selected
for their candidate a gentleman of talents,
of responsibility, and of exemplary person
al character. These worthy traits, howev-
er, are wofully counterpoised by the wild
and disoFganizing views and principles
which he has Of late years avowed and adj
vocated, and which, if they ever obtain a
firm footing aud aScendancy in the Councils
Of this Nation, viii if they do not make alb
solute shipwreck of this glorious Union,
prove as disastrous to the hopes and objects
of the venerated founders of this Govern
ment, as we trust the issue Of the election
will prove to the hopes of those who have
placed Gen. Cas- in the field.
g Whether General Cass is the strongest
candidate whom the Democracy could have
found in its ranks, we much doubt; but the
strongest, if there be stronger, would have
been equally doomed to defeat by the candi-
date, whoever he may be, that will be offered
to the country by the Wing Convention in
June; and we could have preferred, for
"auld lang syne," to have had some other
candidate to beat.''

tE5- In Illinois great quantities OF lard OIL
are manufactured. They also raise the cas-
tor bean which would flourish equally well
in Wisconsin,. These are cash articles, and
il might be well to attempt such experiments
here. Wool would even now command a
fair cash price any where on the Mississippi,
as il will pay transportation. Our farmers
should consult upon what products would
give the earliest and best reward to their in

IRELAED.-We understand (says the
Dundalk PATRIOT that the people are seri-
ously engaged, both in this and the adioin-
ing counties, in furnishing themselves with
arms for self defence, and to enable them to
resist aggression, whether it proceed from
the base, bloody and brutal Wings" or
from any other quarter. They consider, in
the first place, that it is their right to pos
sess arms, aud next, that it is their duty to
have them really, and accordingly they are
preparing for the worst. Rifles and mus
kets, we are informed, are to be found in
both town and country, in large quantities;
that terrible weapon in the hands of an
lrishman-the pike-is being manufactured
in thousands; forks, the prongs shaped like
a bayonet, are IN great requisition.

Lake Trout and white Fish.


One of the consequences of the opening
the Illinois Canal, will be the supplying of
the river towns with Lake Trout and White
Fish-hed in so much estimation bg the ep-
ienres OF the East. IL will be noticed that
one firm in this eity-karaes and Coe-have
already received consignment, which they
sell 10y the barrel or half barrel. Some of
the groceries in town are also supplied with
them, anil as many of our citizens have al
ready had taste, we have no doubt the de-
mand viii in future equal the supply. A..
konants, has a choice lot of both kinds,
which ohr partner, (lvho is judge of good

or caught IN the Mississippi, and we must
say We coincide with him. Konants has

Fish may be hrough, alive from the lakes

SINGULAR FRAVD.--Considerable excite
nent was created in Meriden, Con, last
week, in consequence of the discovery of a
forgery committed by an inhahitant of that
place, who has heretofore been much es-
teemed by the citizens. He applied for
policy of insurance on the life of his wife,
bat the testimony of the examining physi-
cian was such that the Insurance Company
would not accept the risk. Accordingly he
presented a certificate, pnrportiug to be
made out by DR.. William Allen, and by
means of il affected an insurance, of 50 900
on the life of his wife, who has since died.
Soon after this event be presented the GER
tIicate and demanded the payment of the
sum. The officers of the company, how
ever, determined to probe the matter to the
bottom, and showed the certificate to DIR.
Allen, who instantly pronounced the whole
document, body and signature, a forgery.
