comes from the heart. OF all things to be dep
recated on earth, is an unmeaning man or an
unmeaning woman and town made up of
unmeaning people is less to be desired as an
abode than a residence among community of
Dakotas. Galena is not of this class have
remained here longer this time than upon any
former occasion, and have thus had abundant
opportunities to speak knowingly of the kindly
and hospitable character of the Galenians No
stranger, with the soul of man in him, after
becoming even partially acquainted with the
good folks of this city, can leave them without
many regrets.
We were welcomed this morning with a full
Minnesota mail-the first that has come throu Oh
by land since the close of navigation. 1t came
through in exact time, at least SO far as getting
down to Prairie du CHEN was concerned. In
fact, passengers who came through say that
Willoughby Powers are doing things up in
grand style, and that it is less annoying and
perplexing to make the journey between Prairie
du Chen and st. Paul than between here and
Rockford. But 1 will have an opportunity of
judging for myself in few days.
Mr.. Whitall, father-in-law of Mr. Rice, came
down the trip here alluded to, bringing the
welcome news that Mr.. r. was convalescent.-
His numerous friends here are, of course, all
heartily rejoiced at this. At such time as
this, Minnesota and the North West has no such
the country, whatever may have been their
personal feelings heretofore, cannot but feel
thankful to Providence that this blow has been
averted. Mr.. w. also brought tidngs that Mr.
Oakes and others of our citizens who were
compelled to leave the Nominee at La Crosse
were getting along towards home comfortably
and conveniently.
Until this morning, / had seen but one copy
of the Minnesotan since left home. 1t looks
as natural and familiar as an old boot and the
sight of it makes me more anxious to get to St.
Paul. l see confirmed what had previously
an inkling of in Ohio, that our friend BabcOck
has followed in the footsteps of his illustrious
predecessors" and taken back with him "a

season has been very generally followed up

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

GALENA, Nov. 22d.
send you herewith an advertisement show
ing the winter arrangement for travel over the
N. l. and S. N. Railroad On my journey East
was passenger over this road and although
not so fully "under way" in every particular
as the Central road, yet everything p done up
with great care and attention, aud he time is
as good as upon the roads generaYy in the
West. Until the road through Canada, from
opposite Detroit to Niagara Falls, Ia finished,
the Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan
must, from its connection with the lines around
the southern shore Of Lake Erie. take all or
most of the winter travel from the Worth West.
The Canada road will not be completed for
year yet; and consequently all of our folks 60
ing East this winter will find it to their advant-
age to take the Southern road from Chicago
In the Galena Advertiser of one day last week,
you will find paragraph giving correct infor-
nation as to how the connections are formed at
the present time around the Lake shore, which
presume you will publish for the benefit of
our citizens who intend going East this win
ter.
When the East can be reached in this safe and
comfortable manner, the man is a fool who will
trust himself upon Lake Erie after the middle
of October. 1 have enough of November
Lake navigation to last me the remainder of
my days; and think the hundreds who came
over about the time did have come to the
same conclusion. l know of one old gentle
man, at least who you never again will catch
upon those waters during this month. 1t was
on the good steamer Ohio, coming up from
Cleveland, on the goth inst. The gale was ter
rifle !; and it was the general opinion of all on
board that they were about as near eternity as
people generally get without really arriving at
that final bourne. The old gentleman alluded
to, very deliberately called for writing materi-
ais, and during a momentary cessation Of the
storm, dre,c up his ,ciN in as legible characters
as the fury of the elements would admit. As
serious time as all ON board felt it to be, no
one could repress a secret laugh at the old fel-
low, when the difficulty of getting the ,ciH
ashore, and safe on its journey to the probate
judge of the proper county, flashed upon his
mind. 1t was suggested to him that he adopt
the expedient Of one of Willis Gaylord Clark's
heroes, who was caught in a somewhat similar
predicament upon this very lake. He said he
:" saw how things was goin'--so he Just took
his hat and ualked ashore,''
The weather continues in the "melting
mood" although we had some five inches of
snow last night. The stroots this afternoon
sloppy, and the sleighing bad. We expect
mail from Minnesota tonight, which will decide
as to the time of my leaving. Mr.. Anderson,
of Willow River, leaves for home in the morn
ing, with his own team Scrgent arrived this
afternoon from Rockford. He says he will
push his goods through by land to st. Paul.
Yours truly.

GALENA, Nov. "a.


Being engaged yesterday with some business
operations outdoors, failed to write you. To
tell the truth, one who has been so long from
a home and a business that he loves as have,
gets his mind on continual wear with anxiety,
and hardly knows what to think Of or what to
write about
The close of the business season here at Gale
ma gives food for reflection to those. like us of
Minnesota, who are SO closely allied with her
in trade, as well as to her own people. 1t is a
well-known fact, that no town in the West of
its size, has so large. a trade as Galena. Leav-
ing out her mineral trade, and yet she is far
ahead of any other town north of Quincy, and,
perhaps, north of st. Louis With her export
of lead, which in value is more than onc-half of
all she sells, she occupies commercial stand
ing and position that can never be taken away
from her, if she is but true to herself have
no correct data by which to estimate the value
of exports the past season out of Galcna (; but it
is very evident that they have increased over
last year considerably. Galena has partaken
of the general prosperity that has overspread
the country, with the additional advantage that
through the enterprise of her citizens in con-
trolling the carrying trade above here, she has
reaped a small harvest from the rapidly in
creasing emigration to Minnesota and northern
Iowa and Wisconsin. All the business men
here join in saying that this has been can ex-
cellent season :" and, even if some of our up
country folks are little behind in their pay
ments. they have confidence in them generally,
and appear in good humor with us, and anx-
ious to extend their business in that quarter
next year. We hope this good feeling is recip-
rocated thoroughly by our people for in truth
has Galena been nursing mother to us in the
days of our infancy. We cannot. without in
gratitude, forget her to the last day of our ex-
istence. Her enterprising merchants (Galena
has merchants, which is more than some towns
not hundred miles off can say,) have from the
start sent us their boats, their goods and their
good soiV; and no true Minnesotian can forget
these things, even now when the day of our
prosperity and comparative independence is
about to arrive.
When get home, 1 may have something to
say of Galena and her future destiny, as con-
nected with the great railroad enterprises of
the day. At present, have neither the time
nor space to go into details. But the right
kind of people are here, if they only address
themselves properly to the task Of building up
and holding the trade naturally incident to
this point. And socially, too, the Galenians
are among the very best people ever mingled
with. Free, generous, amiable, polite and re-
fned-no ill-bred exclusiveness or miserable
aping after something which weak minds call
gentility and aristocratic bearing-they greet
the stranger who may be tarrying among them
with hearty good WILL and receive you into
their midst with a welcome that You know
means something-that you are made to feel

purposes and objects. and they have no fear Of
any interference by this Government for they
will not, as they say, do anything that is ille-

yet commit 10 act in violation of the neutrali-

MIR. Laws Purchase of Arms.

The Baltimore Patriot the other day referred
to Mr. George Laws purchase of Government
muskets, and suggested that a desire to realize
profit upon them might partially explain his
apparent anxiety to hurry the country into war
against Spain in behalf of Cuba. The Patriot,
after alluding to the failure of Mr.. Laws nego-
tions with Kossuth remarked:
SNOW, as these muskets cost Mr.. Law some.
where about eighty thousand dollars-or he A.
greed to pay for thcnl-he has not paid all vet
it is very losing business to keep them on
hand. The Kossuth affair has blown oyer-the
expectation of fight in South America. which
would eausn q aannanA fnr fhon, hoe disd quay
and there is no hope more favorable for get
ting up a demand for them than filibuster
movement on Cuba. This hope is desperate as
the accounts show; but would it be strange
that, as the muskcts were bought in the expec-
tatlon OF row. that the row should now lie
got up in the expectation of selling the mus
kets! 1t must be heart-sickening-or pocket
sickening-tO have only SO desperate case,
as this getting up row in Cuba seems to be, in
the hope of selling the muskets?''
The Patriot underestimate the amount of
Mr. Laws investment considerably. ..Ion,'

For the removal and per nauent cure of all dis
eases arising from ali impure state OF The blood, or
habit OF the system.
The value OF this Medicine is now widely
known. and every day the field of its u>eIuluessis
extended Il is approved, and highly recommend
ed by Ply sicialis and admitted 10 be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice.
It's operation extends to the remotest parts OF the
system, and consists in removing diseased action
in the absorbing and s~ecreting organs. In man,
Nature seldom effects, unassIsted. the cure OF any
virulent disease, but requires the aid of stimuIant,
Alternative or antiSeptlc medicine. In diseases OF the
skin and flesh, a combination OF these three classes
of medicinal agents is highly desirable. All these
properties are combined in this preparation; and
instead of operating successfully upon the system,
as they must necessarily do when taken separately,
they operate simultaneously, and in perfect harmo-
nv when administered in this form. Its tonic pro-
perty strengthens the digestion, and improves the
appetite. Its Alternative tendency carries 0tithe ac-
cunulations OF morbid matter,-and It's antlseptlc
influence neutraiizes the virus, by which the dis
ease is tostered. Its uniform success in curing and
relieving the various diseases for which it is recon-
mended. is established by a multitude OF attested
facts.
