ceived from an authentic source at Lake Supe-
rlor, that the Chippewas are so well contented
with recent arrangements on the part of the
Government officers, that they propose, ofthem-
selves, to remove to the Mississippi.

The NAILS SOUTH.-The time of departure of
the Mail south from st. Paul has been changed
to eight o'clock on Tuesday and Saturday morn
ings. The mails coming up will meet those go
ing down at Hudson, (Willowriver) and arrive
here upon the same evenings. Burbank & Co.'S
Express Messenger will leave for Galcna on

MAIL ARRANGEMENTs.-We are thankful for
the prospect of more regular mail service
from Minnesota this winter than last. We are
now to have three mails week-two by Will
loughby 4 Powers Stage Line and one by the
river We notice also that these proprietors
have extended their stages to Galena and will
come from that place TO Prairie du Chen in
one day. But their mail service ceases at this
place consequently the mail must lie over
here one day unless it happens to intersect with
BOrctte's Route. Now why not extend the SER
vice to Galena, and thus have an uninterrupt-
ed route through to Minnesota twice a week.
and to Prairie du Chen five mails a week .
| This would be but trihing additional expense
|
make the trips to carry passengers. MnncsO-
tians, give us lift in this mattcr-Prairie du
| Chen Courier.
! Certainly we will. We have faith that our
neighbor of the Courier will do all he can to
shove our mails through. Let that "laying
over" at Platteville, Or Prairie du Chen, or
wherever it may occur, be done away with at
once. We have not only a right but duty to
be fulfilled by those having this matter in
charge.
| WOoD UP.-Subscribers and others who have
promised us wood in payment for their subscrp-
tons, &c, are respectfully reminded that now
is the acceptable time for its forthcoming, and
that the Wood up Quick Step" would be a
very pleasant tune to our ears these cold frosty
Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.
We thought Burlington was a City, and her
editors were in full communion with the frater-
nifty throughout the country, as City Editors !
Why then this Anticipated, thread-bare, country
call for wood? 1t always reminds us of Ram
age presses, ten year old plea, sapling stands
bound together with hickory withes-editor
with elbows out briskly plying scissors, while
boy, with the extremity of neither garment dit
to, is ''setting up" lighted by one pane of
greasy glass-the rest of the apertures in the
sash closed by bits of paper, cast-off unmention-
ables and old hats. Think of these things. Mr..
Telegraph, and do not again degrade yourself
in the eyes of your city brethren up this way,
by believing out for rood with all the stento-
rian lustiness of parish pauper calling for
"soup.' If we can't find a proper degree of
editorial dignity among those of the fraternity
such as you, Colonel, where in creation shall
We look for it? Where is that high tone and
military bearing that was wont to grace the
editorial columns Of your sheet? Remember
the plains Of Wabasha sir, land no more of
this!;'
RAILROAD lTEMs.-The gross earnings of the
Michigan Central. and its competitor, the Mich

as follows: Central, SlG2, goo Southern. $780,

S37G.S3S. a new feature has recently devel-
oped itself in the Railroad Bond Market On
the 10th ult., Immediately after the arrival of
the packet from England, two millions of rail-
road bonds were sold on foreign account OF
this amount, 100000 were bonds of the cOun-
ties of Ohio and Kentucky, which class have
not heretofore been saleable on foreign account !;
but they yield the capitalist much larger in
terest than others, and this is the temptation to
take them.
The Hoe MARKET.-Hogs continue to range
high all over the country. Sales were made
in Cincinnati on the goth ult., at Sc %, at
which price they were firmly held. 1t is said
to be well ascertaincd that the number to be
packed in Illinois, this year, will fall consider
ably short of the number packed last year.
