CbeaD Postage.

This subject so much talked Of, and action
upon which is so loudly called for from every
quarter, IS now under discussion in Congress.
We presume that some reduction will be made
on letter postage, but not sufIic ent to satisfy
the demands Of the people. All plans for
modifying the present unequal law regulating
Newspaper postage, meet with opposition
from large portion of the men bers of Con-
gress, particularly those from the south. The
following remarks by the Editor of the New
ork Tribune upon this subject, we presume,
will meet the views Of very large majority
of all classes, and we would commend them
to the ct.ent.on Of Congress:
:. thousand Tribunes sent by mail into
Iowa or Texas ought to pay more postage than
SO many of he Journals printed and clrcula-
ted within tse limits Of those States respec-
lively, and generally within a Few miles of
the place # public alton. Unforni is a
good thing ii its place, but uniform tax of
50 much per head tor the support Of the Gov
emmett woald not be good thing, neither,
w0I!d a uniform allowance of Mileape-so
many dollars TO each-to Members of Con-
gress from Mary aud and MINES TIA. Unifor-
nifty is convenient, but Justice is the para
mount consideration.
journals of not inordinate size, carried
less thsn thirty. forty OF fifty miles through
the Mails, ought to be delivered on the pre-
payment Of very small annual charge-we
prefer ten cents per anuun for a weekly and
IN lae ratio for those published more fire.
Gently. The expense Of carrying these is
ii thing that Of mailing very liz lie and the
Postuasters who oliver them generally Coun-
Try >t-re-keepers who gain custom by their
olfcclclu well afford to deliver them without
ehas-e " believe ten cents a year in ad-
vance t9r each Weekly carried less than forty
nail through the Mails would fairly reim-
burse The Government for the expenses Of
suca transportation, and that is al that should
be required. But 1t IS entirely wrong to car
" anything free except tle official correspon-
dence IT the Post-Ollice Department. Ey-
erythlng should pay its share-the Govern
ment as we'll as the humblest indiviual If
one package is allowed to 60 free on one pre-
text, another will slip through on another, and
there viii be no stopping the leak thus open
cd. Make everything pay, bat tax each class
as lightly a. possibe-slch is the correct
princil q. We still hope to see t recognized
and couioraad to by Congress"

of "the big Lead recently discovered in

" The cave IS several hundred feet in

Milwaukee and Mississippi RliI Road.

We ask the attention Of our readers to the
following communication upon the subject of
Rrl Roads. 1t IS one in which he people Of
the Western portion Of our state are deeply
interss od-one upon which immediate action
is necessary. 1t is no way certain that Galena
viii be Sue terminating point Of the Chicngo
Road. There is yet contingency which
may throw i: 10 some other point. Should
such be the result, the next move viii be to
unite with Milwaukee and become the termi-
mating point Of that road. Its highly neces-
sary that our citizens take hold of this matter
and see that the Milwaukee and Mississippi
Road is not only carried through, but that it
takes the right shoot"
