A writer in the last Democrat over
the signature of Alpha, attempts to make
thrust at the reputation at Hon LEVI
STERLING, which neither Alpha nor any
sother man dare do over his own signature.
The writer of the article is so well known.
] and his objects so apparent to all in this
vicinity, that a notice of it might appear
unnecessary, but for the purpose of setting
I the matter right with those at distance
not particularly acquainted with Mr. S
we propose to notice some of the asser-
] tions and faISeh00ds of Alpha The state
ment that Dir. Sterling remained in the
Fort" when the Militia was called upon
to aid the settlers at Fort Hamilton, is
Eevidently intended as an insinuation of
lcowardice. Now, we are told by per
son who knows quite as well as Alpha
that Mr.. Sterling remained in the Fort
not from choice, but as guard, he being
the only officer present on whom that du-
Ity devolved and we are further told that
mo man in the Black Hawk war, did bet
ter service than did Levi Sterling.
Alpha complains that Mr. Sterling has
held Office for long time It is true,
Mr.. Sterling has held several offices, mostI
|of which have been conferred upon himI
without solicitation and contrary TO hisl
own wishes and it is also true that heI
has performed the duties of al of them inI
Ia manner that has given him reputation
of which he may well be proud; and this
has brought upon him the envy of such
would-be great men as Alpha,-a man
who has often been rejected by the peo-
pie when he desired their suffrage. Mr.
Sterling has held office, and proved him
selfa faithful public servant, and the peo-
pie are willing to trust him to hold office
Iagain~
That Mr.. Sterling did not arrive at
Madison last winter on the day the legis-
lature convened, is true, but he was at his
post Immediately aftera organization was
effected, and before a single act had come
1 up for passage; and more faithful and
industrious representative was not known
at Madison during the recent session
He laoored both early and late, and thro'
his influence many acts were passed high
sly beneficial to his constituents, among
which was the charter Cor the Mineral
Point Railroad
The statement that Mr. Sterling occu-
! pied lis time while acting as Senator, lin
correcting and copying field notes" &c
and that he went to Dubuque twice dur
] ing the session Of the Legislature we pro
:nounoe unequivocally false. He went to-
Dubuque but once, and that was dur

Gen. Scott as a Peace Man.

Brilliant and successful almost beyond
|all precedent as Gen. Scott's services have
.been IN the field, (says one of our contem-
Iporaries,) he is yet no lover of war for its
own sake. On the other hand, he has
ever shown himself the lover and the ad-
,vocate of peace. His conduct on many
memorable and critical occasions-such
for instance, as during the trouble in
South Carolina, threatening civil war. the
y ortheastern Boundary disturbances. and
THE negotiations in Mexico-show him to be
THE great Pacifcator, as well as the great
military commander
The following brief note to the editor
,of the Madisonian, ten years since, has
been quoted as showing that Gen SCOTS
craftsmanship is ''of the right sort-the
craftsmanship of peace"
WAR OFFICE, AUGUST, 1912
SIR - perceive In the Madisonian of
this morning that l am charged with be-
ling opposed to the treaty between the
united States and Great Britain. to which

.rumors. | have neither the influence nor
the desire to interfere with the action of
the Senate upon it-always contenting

Hoping that you viii take pleasure in
correcting the injustice you have done
me, L remain, sir, your obedient servant

Daniel Webster is Dead

Another brilliant Star in the galaxy of Amcri

the intelligence through the Madison Daily Jour

MINERAL POINT Raj ROAD.


An adjourned meeting of the Directors
Iof this road was held on the 22d inst. for
the purpose Of electing the officers of the
Company, and adopting Bylaws. The
following officers were elected
MOSES NJ STRONG. President,
THOMAS S. ALLEN, Secretary,
FRANCIS VIVIAN, Treasurer.
Col r B Mason, the Chief Engineer
/. of the Illinois Central r R, had pre-
syiously been appointed Chief Engineer of
this Road, and had accepted the appoint
ment. One of his assistants, Mr. Johns
] ton, has just completed the survey of one
of the routes from this place to the State
line, following down the Mineral Point
branch to the Peketonica, thence down
the valley of that river to Wolf creek, and
sup Wolf creek to the State line; and we
.are informed that the Directors intend to
Survey another route down Otter creek.
and up the valley of Ames' branch. and
thence by the ridge to the State line
The route already surveyed is represent
ed by the engineers to be a very favora-
bic one.
The Directors have adopted code of
bylaws which will facilitate their oper-
|ations such as the experience of other
has suggested Among the
bylaws is one to allow interest to Stock
holders on all payments on account of
Stock, at the rate of ten per centum per
annum from the date of payment until
the road is completed, aud in operation.
The Directors have also adopted the prin-
ciple with reference to Stock subscrip.
tlons, to form one of the conditions of
that not more than So onI
each share shall be called for during the
present year, not more than S25 duringI
the year 1858, $50 during 1854, and s40I
during 1855
The amount of Stock subscribed UNDER
the direction of the commissioners is I048l
shares, and almost all of it IN small sums.
every dollar of which will be punctally
paid. The subscriptions average only a
bout FIVE shares to each person. There
are % subscribers Of share each. so of!

3 Of 5 shares, 5 of 20 shares, 2 of 25I
shares, l Of 50 shares, and / of 40 shares.
The Directors intend soon to make al
exertion to obtain an additional
subscription OF 1900 shares, which theyI
suppose will give them one half tue amountl
necessary to construct the road, and theYE
are confident that they can raise the 9th
er half in New York on the bonds of the1
company. The extension given by the!
Directors to the Stockholders of one. twoI
and three years, will enable them to in
crease the amount of their subscriptions
very materially. A little exertion nowI
will insure the completion of the road
