~ The Revue des Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose Of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. II is
proposed in this collection to give a prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
labors of it's politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
des Deux Mondes now makes public appeal TO
American Authors and Editors, by sending TO it,
through Mr.. Putnam, of New York a copy of each
Of their publications. The Revue is in better po
sition than any other organ in Europe TO serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps
Each number of the Revue in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of " Chronique de la Qunzaine,' hstori
cal summary of the principal events Of the political
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture Of the European move

aud medicine men or prophets dwelt.
These are constructed likewise with bark
turned inside to the building, on which the
family distinctions were painted. These
are the records of that particular house, and
the histories of achievements in war or the
chase. They are also furnished with q
suitable number of little places for the feast
or revel. But over the whole the eye sought
IN vain for the hand that erected or embel-
lished them. All were now silent and de-
serted. Their fires were out and their foot
prints dim. 4 winding trail through the
tall grass alone remained to point out their
course over the hills, towards the Iowa
river, whittier they had recently fled for
safety. II was touching thought on en-
tering their town, now left desolate, that the
Indians had just gone on their destination
towards the setting sun--that their lights
were gone and that We're so soon to kindle
( their extinguished fires and introduce tho
4 lights of civilization upon the cooling hearth
stone. We rambled around this deserted
village adnHring the beauty of the scenery
the historical records on the walls and cell
/ ings of the houses, and every relict left to
us, the intruding pale faces of the North.
/ IL was agreed by all of us that every eff
fort should be made to preserve the lastves-
tige % savage life, as memorial to the
adventurlng enigrant.
! But soon after this that same spirit of
Vandalism which applied the blazing torch
in ancient times To Rome and Carthage,
and stripped them of their splendid decora-
tons of art aud genius, set fire to this In
dim village, and nothing now remains at
mouth Of Catfish creek to show that the
place ever existed. The land is now pow-
ed and cultivated, and not one in ten per-
haps of The present inhabitants even of our
city, know that IN 1880 u fine Indian village
was there standing.
/ We passed along through large cornfelds
adjacent on the bottom grounds, now we
look in vain for the hand that TILED them.
I Over the entire country there regned a
perfect stiffness, bur the signs of habta-
ton were so recent that we almost expected
now and then TO be startled with the shrill
war hoop. Instead of this however the
owl hooted from the cliff, and the wolf
howled from the hills. AS we traversed
the country in this vicinity, the old diggings
[ of Julien Dubuque were discovered at fire.
quent intervals grass grown, with ranges of
bushes marking distinctly the excavations
of that early adventurer. II was scene
rich with romantic interests, one on which
the imaginative mind would delight 10 lin
ger. Here the swnrlhy Spanish MINER with
Dubuque himself, wooed and won their In
dian brides.
Here they opened the rich mines Of ore,
and erected the rude furnace for smelling,
instructing the natives in their arts and in
ducing them to labor, minglng their Gus
toms and manners together. Where Du-
buque now stands, for thousand acres the
land was covered with tall grass waving in
the wind like some extensive rice field, de-
serted by the reaper. But this subject we
will leave for another time.

From the Dnbunno Telernph.

In the early part of the summer of 1880
the writer in company with several others,
crossed the Mississippi little below where
Dubuque now stands. We were IN search
Of that better country which always lies of
in the distance, just over mountain desert
or sen. As we approached the shore at the
mouth Of Catfish creek, could not but note
the mir Of loneliness that seemed % pervade
the place. Here stood n beautiful Indian
village Of perhaps hundred buildings
They were constructed with upright posts
supporting slender poles, and the whole
covered with the bark of trees placed inside
Of the building. Through the middle Of the
village ran a broad street parallel 10 the riv-
err. This was inicrseeted IN the middle by
cross street, and the whole covering near
fifty acres Of ground. The council house
was Of large dimensions, say 200 feet long
10 so or 40 feet wide. Over all the delicate
inside bark which lined the interior Of the
building. was spread rude paintings Of eX-
oui.ite colors, some Of which disclosed
hieb degree Of taste and skill. Here might
~. seen a war dance TO the tune Of large
SHAPED instrument filed with pebbles, shells
&c and ratified by the hand of a medicine
man. On another part Of the room you
would discover "A Buffalo hunt 10 the prai-
RE, where feet horses and arrow armed RI
ders were chasing the terrified animals in
vast herds over the plain. Then again the
desperate fight with their ancient enemies,
the Sioux, where Bonded bow and pointed
arrow marked the desperate encounter,
where chief meets chief and warrior meets
his man.
Here you see the well contriyed ambus-
cade. where pluncs and spears are gleam-
ing from out the covered brake, aud then
rush o. horsemen in mock retreat along the
copse wood wild, and then the mingled rush
Of desperate war from brake to brake.
There were probably as. many as fifty
furnaces ranged along on each side Of this
building, 10 which kettles were wont to be-
placed to furnish feast af friendship or Of
war. In other parts of the village there
were also bgildings larger, and more con-

Is also reporting at Washington, gave lee
