promised to give you an account of Milwau-
kee, as soon as had time to turn around But
am sorry agreed to; he fact is there is moth
ing to write about, that one of their six dailies
does not pick up and retail, while am thinking
whether it is worth anything. Perhaps your
readers have not heard about what has been
going on here the past two or three days. A
most beautiful church, (called the Plymouth
church, has been built at cost of $4,000
tits understood by good many about here, that
this church was built in honor of a carpenter
who tlourished number of years since, whether
this was so or not it was dedicated to Almighty
God, on Saturday evening last; this pageant was
/ performed by the assistance of Mr. KIRK of
Boston, Gin preachinga sermon) and a few less
err lights that revove in this hemisphere.
The music on this occasion was furnished by
about so singers, directed by Mr.. ILsLEY of
this city; who is the main stay of the Yankee
F9Usic in this city. Well, was a going to tell
yon about the dedication. They dedicated it on
Saturday night, as said before, to Almighty God
And on Monday at 10 o'clock will you believe
1t they had an auctoneer there selling all
the pews out from under him.! | thought at
first it was Peter Funk auction, but they said
it was genuine, and no mistake ! could not
buy one Of them little pews, Uhey are only
about feet long and feet widc,) without pay
ing more for it, than the cost Of some dwelling
houscs-and SO did not buy. Besides had some
qualms of conscience about taking a deed of
pew, when | knew that only two evenings b.
fore il was given to the Lord, where his children
might meet together to worshPhim And be-
iicyc the understanding is, to preach that same
gospel in that church, that was to be preached 10
everybody, 'without money and without price"
But that is nothing for Milwaukee folks-thcy
arc proycrbal for spending more for nothing and
tom foolery than all the rest Of the Towns in
the State. Sunday night the Rev. Bachelor
! Or. kirk preached again on the 'prolical SON.
to the largest audience ever assembled in Mil
waullce, $50 the Wisconsin says.) | suppose it
was because your correspondent was present ::
but i'll am not mistaken about the kenosha folks
you would have turned out more on a fast Gay or
clarity sermon
They have no PoZitics here now, or would
say something about them. Their religion
have told you about.
Milwaukee has already expended in geological
explorations, more money than any two States in
the Union and it is quite doubtful whether they
have ''struck Lead of anything that will pay.
They would have had quite pretty place
here if they had but let it been, just as it rolled
out from the creators hand. The fact is they
seldom improve anything they touch, unless we
except the Goose pond in front of the Court
House, and that immortal work Of art-the
Spring st. bridge. But.this is not true o(pryate
enterprise, Martins Block, and few now stores
on East Water street, built and going up-thc
new cathcdral-and tasty dwelling houses in diff.
lercnt parts of the city tell a diff rent tale
The rappings here, we understand, are ''de-
functibus non est disputandorum." wish Won
would tell us how they flourish down in your
place. | believe there has not anything hap
pcned in kenosha for more than a week. You
must start something, or there might as we'll not
be any kcnosha, for all practical purposes.
was going to ask you you knew when that
hanging was to come eff, that is to be celebrated
in your city, for the sake of deterrng a locker
on from ever cOmppitting similar crime. There
are about COCO here that want to come down,
but think you had better tell them through your
paper, that it is none Of their hanging ard per-
haps some of them will stay at home. We
should have enough of these cases to attend to
ourselves, if we ever convicted one of the crime
he is guilty of. 1t rains here halfthc time, that
! gives US mud all the time.
| think there must be $4,000 inhabitants here
reckoning the dogs and hogs, who are free com
moners. Say 1900 Of the latter, and 10000
of the human Xxi nd
That was bad blow for Mi!waukcc-that
railroad from Fond du Lac to GAINESVILLE. The
only way she can save herself at all, is to club
with the other lake cities and build a railroad to
Chicago. Milwaukee has as many Inhabitants
now as She will have in ten years unless this
thing is done. Yours,
