NEW VOLUME OF THE
Wisconsin Tribune,
ENLARGED, AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE D.
PRICE REDUCED!!
CASH SYSTEM ADOPTED.

The THIRD VOLUME of the WISCONSIN InIa
UNE will commence on the 9th day of October
next, and for the purpose of giving greater a
mout OF reading matter, we propose commencing
the new year upon an ENLARGED SHEET
Although we give at present, much more than
many papers of a larges size still we find our pa
per quite too small to contain the variety we de-
sire to lay before readers, particularly
when our columns much crowded with adj
vertisements as they have been for few weeks
past, and as we have reason to hope they will be
hereafter. We desire to make the Tribune both
useful and interesting; and as far abilities
will permit, such will be aim.
The Improvements we design making, viii nee
essary require funds, for the purpose OF prcha-
sing materials, for which we look to those in our
debt. If then, they desire TO see the Tribune en-
larged and improved. we trust they will forward
the amount of their Indebtedness, with little de-
lay as possible. Ii they comply with this request,
quite item will be saved, that will otherwise be
required, for the payment of a collecting agent
Persons SO doing, can pay for their paper at the
advance price, (S2) but the extra fifty cents viii
IxvARIABLY be exacted of those who wait to be
called upon personally.

Sir John Franklin.

Sir John Richardson, in his official ac-
count of the proceedings of his own over
land expedition, gives the following opin-
ion as to the resources of Sir. ] ohm Frank
lin, in case of provisions falling short
"Deer migrate over the ice in the spring
from the main shore to Victoria and VOL
laston lands in large herds, and return in
the autumn. These lands are also the
breeding places of vast flocks of snow
geese; SO that, with ordinary skill in hunt
ing, large supply of food might be procu-
red on their shores in the months of June,
July, and August. Seals are also numer-
Gus in those seas, and are easily shot, their
curiosity rendering them a ready prey to

ing, the stock of provisions might be great
ly augmented. And we have the recent
example of Mr.. Rae, who passed severe
winter on the very barren shores of Re-
pulse Bay, with no other fuel than the
withered turfs of herbaceous andromeda,
and maintained numerous party on the
spoils of the chase alone for a whole
year. Such instances forbid us to lose
hope. Should Sir John Franklin's provi
sons become so far reduced as to be mad
equate to winters consumption, it is no

Another Difficulty with England.

1t will be seen by the intelligence from
Nicaragua which we publish in this paper,
that we are in fair way of getting into
another difficulty with Great Britain about
the Mosquito Shore. Inaeed from the
rumpus that appears to have been kicked
up we may come to blows with old Eng
land as soon as the most warlike of our
citizens can possibly desire. In addition
to the intelligence which we publish in
another column, we have received the
proclama ton of the Ministry of Honduras
relative to the recent British outrages. 1t
is well written document, and confdes
in the American Government for an ad-
justment Of the wrongs which that country
has suffered at the hands of the British
usurper. The following are the conclu-
ding paragraphs of the proclamation:
The President of the Republic, in his
note to the Consul upon these claims, of
the 9Th of June last, not only showed
that they were, many of them, destitute of
foundation, but also desired that person
should oe appointed in order to verify them
and settle the affair in just and amicable
manner. In spite of this just and reason
able proposition, pretexts have now been
made to attack us, to occupy our soil. and
to insult us, resorting to violence, making
an exhibition of power, trampling under
foot the most sacred rights of a free people,
profting of our weakness and inability to
meet face to face the tyrant of the ocean.
People of Honduras, Notwithstanding
our own want of means to resist with eff
feet, and TO defend the integrity of our
soil and the dignity of our Government,
yet we need not submit to the unjust and
violent conduct which oppresses US; for the
Star-Spangled Banner will be unfurled in
our seas to assist us to vindicate our rights
and rescue us from insults. Yes, that
bright flag, resplendent with glory, backed
by immense power, will be our guaranty
Ill vlrtne of solemn treaties, and has gem
erously pledged itself to aid US. The
identity of our principles, and the fact that
we are children of the same continent, is
band of union with that great Power, Let
us, then, confide in her resources, under
the bot.ds which unite our interests. Long
live Republican governments Long live
the illustrious descendants Of the immortal
Washington!

Later from Santa Fo.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. IL.
Dates from Santa Fe, to the 3Oth Oct.
have been received at this place, which
brings farther accounts of Indian depreda-
tions. The troops had taken five Apa-
chese prisoners. who had been offered in
exchange for Mrs. White and daughter.
Mr.. Aubry had also offered, in addition.
the sum of one thousand dollars.
Information had been received, that
thirty-six California emigrants had recent
ly been killed by the Indians, near the
Copper Mines. The troops stationed at
Ell Paso, had started IN pursuit of the enc
nv; but, at last accounts, had not met
with them. Three Mexicans had been
killed at Ell Paso, on the 9th of October
and several others were reported to have
been murdered near Santa Fe. The In
dians were daily committing fresh dePre-
dations, and had Become quite hostile 10
the emigrants. Dates from Chihuahua
to the 3Oth of September, represent the
cholera as raging fearfully at that place
Not less that rs to 100 deaths were oc'
curing daily. A new Fort, called fol'
Barkey, had been established on the Mofo
river; and Lieut.. Simpson had selected =
site for a fort IN Navajo county.

JOhnStOWn and Ebensburg.

The Johnstown Echo in its remarks in
favor Of the new county says in relation
to the conduct of the citizens of Ebens-
burg, that "heretofore in all the relations
OF life, whether social, political or other
wise, they have entertained feelings of the
most vindictive contempt for our citizens,
and have used every device those feelings
could invent to retard the progress of our
people, and the interests of this portion of
the county" We must confess that we
are totally at fault in our knowledge of the
grievances of which our friend Smith COM
plains. We cannot call to our recollec-
ton single instance in which the citizens
of Ebensburg have manifested toward
hose of Johnstown, any such feeling or
conduct that he has unjustly, we think,
attributed to them, and we would like to
see Mr.. Smith coming out boldly before
the public, and letting them know in plain
terms the wrongs which Johnstown or that
portion of the county have suffered at the
hands of Ebensburg, rather than attempt
ing to create sympathy in their favor by
making assertions which we believe have
no. foundation in truth. Our southern
friends must admit that they have always
been well represented in the county Off
ces, and that whenever an attempt has
been made to raise a question between the
north and the south, it has always origina-
led among themselves. Will Mr.. Smith
let us know in plain terms what are his
grievances, so that we may no longer be
kept In the dark, relative to matter oi
which we are SO profoundly ignorant!-
We know that there are men, whose love
of excitement is paramount to every other
feeling, who are ever ready to jump into
the advocacy of every new movement, nc
matter how absurd or ridiculous it may be
and perfectly regardless of the consequent
ces or the difficulties it may create. And
we are disposed to think that this move
ment in favor of a new county, has origi
mated in a feeling of this kind, and has
been started by men who care as little
about the welfare of Cambria county il
general, as they do about counterfeit
copper.

The Boston Herald of Saturday has the
following. Ut is to be remembered that
the Herald has been the foremost to pub
lish suspicious of Professor Webster's S
guilt
A man by the name of Cobb, living in
Pleasant street, and who knows DIR. Park
man well, says that he met DIR. Parkman
on the common at half past two O'Clock
on Friday afternoon, the 23d ult., when
DIR. Parkman was last seen, and is willing
to swear that it was him and no one else
that he saw on that day; and that it was
at no other day or hour that he saw him.
This evidence will 60 to show that DIR.
Parkman, if he went into the Medical Col
lege at half past -one O'Clock on the day
alluded to, must have come out again, and
may account for the finding of his hat on
one of the wharves the day that he was
missing. There are also many others
who Will swear that they saw DIR. Park
man on the afternoon of Friday, the 23d
Of November.

full report of the proceedings of. her ma.
Jesty's ships Enterprise and investigator
under his command, between the date of
his last dispatch to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, from Uppernavick, in Julv
ls4s, and the arrival of the expedition off
Scarborough, on the Sd instant. Both
ships (the Investigator and Enterprisel
wintered in Port Leopold, where the party
suffered more than usual, partly from de.
preston OF spirits on account oftheir want
of success. Here many white foxes were
caught alive in traps. and were set at lib.
erty again when copper collars had been
fixed round their necks, on which collars
were engraved notices of the position of
the ships, and of various depots of provis-
ions carefully made at different points
of the coast, for the benefit of Sir John
Franklin's party. Some of these four.
footed messengers may yet, it is hoped
convey intelligence to the lost explorers
which may be of use to them IN extremity.

manded by Sir John Ross, traversed the

The Slate of DeSeret.

There is delegation in Washington
from the Mormon settlement, at the Salt
Lake, in Oregon, whose chief design is
to secure, if possible, the admission of
Deseret into the Union as State. From
the showing of the delegates themselves,
they have not to exceed 10000 inhaltants
upon the area of territory they seek to
have brought into the Union as State.
They could propably secure an act giving
them an organization as territorial gov
ernment, and this has been suggested to
them by a number of members of con-
gress. One Of the delegates states that
from twelve to fourteen thousand emf
grants will leave Europe this winter in
time TO cross the country for Deseret by
the opening of the Spring, and that they
have all embraced the Mormon faith

make him rich in spite of his profigacies.
Again; men are flattered by the prospect
of making immediate fortunes by the aid OF
bank credit and protective duties, and en-
bark in business far beyond their means
and this must inevitably bring ruin on
themselves and all connected with them.
A man by this means places himself in a
dilemma from which it is impossible for
him to extrcate himself without injuring
the community around him. He must
either defraud his laborers out of their
wages TO supply his want of means, or he
must suffer himself 10 bI eak, bringing ruin
on all dependent OH his business. This
feature alone is sufficient to condemn the
protective policy in the eyes of every true
friend of the permanent prosperity of the
country.

Or Will the editors of the Johnstown
Ne,oS inform us how far it is from Eb-
ensburg to the town of Jefferson, and ac-
company the information with the ac-
acknowledgement that he lied in his last
weeks paper! He knows, or he ought to
know, that it is only seven miles from this
place 10 Jefferson, and yet he has the au-
dacity to state that the nearest possible
point of the line of the contemplated new
county to Ebensburg, is from eight to ten
miles. The boundary of the proposed
new county must run in northwest di-
rection from the point designated on the
Railroad in order to strike the waters of
the Blacklick, and must of course, run a
considerable distance this side of Jefferson,
which makes the Ne1cs' assertion still
greater violation of truth Come out,
then, and acknowledge the corn like men,
and do not permit your anxiety to get a
jail in Johnstown to destroy Your ideas OF
truth altogether.

Congress-.

This body has not..yet organized, They
have now been balloting for a Speaker of
the House for more than two weeks and
were at the --latest dates further from an
election than when they commenced.-
During the past eight or ten days consd-
cradle excitement prevailed, and some of
the members on one or two occasions got
to calling each other hard names, but the
feelings of members appear now to have
moderated, and they begin to view the
want Of Speaker in about the same light
the old woman did marriage, as beng
nothing when they got used to it. The
House will, in all probability remain in
this position until after the holidays,
when the members will be more anxious
to proceed to business, and the necessity
of electing a Speaker will present itself
more forcibly to their minds than it does
at present. The idea of wasting a thous-
and dollars day of the peoples money
in their jangling for Speaker does not
appear to disturb their cosciences in the
least.
On one occasion, VIM. J. Brown, q
democ ratio member from Indiana, receiv-
ed 1l2 votes, being within two Of the
number required to elect, and his pros
poets seemed very falterng. But before
another ballot was taken, an inquiry was
made relative to certain pledges which he
had made to the free soilers, which knocked
his prospects of an electo into a three
cooked hat, Neither party hasa nominee
but every man votes as he thinks proper
On Saturday last, Mr.. Boyed, democrat
from Kentucky, and Mr.. Stanley. whig
of North Carolina, were the most pr omi
nent candidates, but neither received the
entire vote of his party. Mr.. Boyd had
Sc votes, Mr.. Stanley sc, and Mr.. Scat

The patience of the Senate, however
appears 10 be exhausted, and they are de-
termined to proceed to business whethe,
