A MUMMY INDIAN CHIEF.--A correspon-
sdent writes to the Galena Jehersonian, as
TfoIlows: "While Mr. Churchill was Dig
Fging on a lot belonging to l.. w. Low &
eco, in Columbus, The county seat of Ala
5makce county, Iowa, in removing am Indian
Snlound, he found, buried in n canoe, an In
fdian, whose appearance indicated his hay
ling been chief. He had buried with him
ia military coat, blanket, shaving box and
glass, and great variety Of other Indian
9rnkets, and 81 Mexican and Spanish mill
sed dollars; all of which are te be seen 1T
their store in the above place." One cir
{cumstance leads us to doubt the above story :
aan'l that is, that Capt. John A. Wakefield,
sau,hor, &C., philosopher as well as his
storan, gentleman no takes q deep inter
fest in the natural sciences, resident of
lAlamakee county, was here in ST. Paul The
iOther day, and never mentioned the fact Of
,any such discovery. If the story be true,
s't is to he hoped that Capt. Wakefield viii
prepare learned and scientific paper upon
the subject, for S,lliman's Journal, or to
,be read before The Natural Institute, or for
lwarded to the Royal society in London.
III Our nesLbors of St. Anthony had a
merry time Of it on Thursday night last, the mo-
wing cause beng the arrival of the Franklin No.
II, which, after much ribulation, bein. insured By
the faithful Land costing $500 premium for the
"Trip from St. Paul, did in fact reach Cheever
landing. We have no doubt but steamboats, can
'set 10 Cheeyer's at any reasonable stage Of
water, but very much doubt the pecuniary utility
;Of steamboating TO that point, or that many boats
Jean be induced to 90 there for even a high pre-
lmium. But do not wish to discourage or fret
sthe steamboat ambition Of our neighbours or throw
;word or rock in their way. Their prosperity and
!ours are CLOSELY allied; their advancement i our
gin IL they can steamboat 1t TO the Fails. well
land good; If not. unite the twins by ailr0ad
II hat ought 10 be done whether steamboats, can
run Up to and over the Falls or not. That will pay
iccrtain.
Mn. SiBLEY.-The following letter from
,lhe able democratic member from Wiscon-
sectional interests in Congress, with the ut
'most force and zeal, does no more than ius-
stice to our excellent delegate.
WAsHINGToN, June %, 1852
DEAR SIR: Your treaties are ratified

slower than snaIls pace mails, will take TO
you this letter, for the lightnings swiitest
messengers are winsing their rapid tight
lover hill aud dale aud wood and waste
nearing the glad news which shall cause one
long, loud, joyous shout Of gladness 10 90
sup from that whole land.
| he case of thes. treaties has been a
Iheavy and al uncea>ng burden upon your
lievoteI and ever vi gilant and efficient dele
,gate, for he has lahored ia their behalf ever
since the commencement of this session of
congress, patiently, and with zeal as con-
.stant as It life Itself depended upon The re !
;>ult. No heat or cold. no storm or TEMPEST
|no alIurenent IN the way of pleasure or
'pastme could win from him a moments
.pause in bis eXeriion until the final vote riv-
tied the compact as tirml, as the Constiiu-
lion itself. If there ever was man who
deserved the ''we!l done thou good and
faithful servant" of IA well served people ia

Every one knows, who is at all acquainted
with the business of legislation, that in order
10 carry through measure, there is some
thing more to lie done than to ''introduce a
,bIl'' and thus suffer it to take lis course
rhe biz would find its way to the commit
&c room, and there it would rest until Gal
briefs shrill bugIe shall herald in the morn
ling Of eternity unless it was watched aud,
!nursed; but every one does not know how
Imuch more that is the ease here than III "a!
State legislature. Why here, i, is generally
supposed that measure of any Importance
and that merits passing vii! have friends i
and that too III proportion To the friends nj
bill has, and on The zeal these friends mani! !
fest, ccteris pariJus, so are the chances of

er>tanIs, and he practices upon it, aud heI
believes that eternal vlgilance'' is not only
the price of liberty, but the sure means oil
