| Ink NAIL RoAD.-A large ana respectabie meet
ing ofths citizens Of St. Paul, was held yesterday At
the Court House. We have not room for the pro-
ceedings this week. The books for subscription to
the capital stock Of the Wisconsin North Western
Railroad are left at the Office of Mr.. Van Etten.
The Peoples Advocate is tho title Of new and
spirited Democratic paper, lately commenced in
Bloomfield, Perry County, Pa, by J. II. SheibIey.
The paper conducted with considerable ability, and
will render good service to the Democratic in
the keystone State. We deserved at the hands Of
the Advocate, rap the knuckles for neglecting
10 notice the first number received, but the pre-
dominance Of the milk of human kindness in the breast
of brother Shcibey, induced him to good for
evil and in the last number he gives the following
fattering notice:
'When, about six weeks ago, we sent an Advocate
out to St. Paul, in Minnesota Territory, in order TO
get exchange from worthy brother Of the Pho
neer, trembled for fear IT might fall into the hands
Of some big Indian and be tomahawkcd But IL didn't
The Advocate reached its point of destination and
ga hearty welcome" from the Pioneer, and We re-
ceived an SEX with pleasure We glad that
the Pioneer is well patronized. 1t is sound dem
ocratic paper and published at 100 year. An ex-
citing election is now going in that Territory for
member of Congress, and the Pioneer summons the
democracy to the polls and asks for bold and united
front. Success"
The LUMBER AGEsrs.-We learn from the
Chicago papers, that the Lumber Agents Lake
Michigan doing lively business. In instance
a quantity of shingles were seized while the owner
was absent, and Immediately sold at prcqtc sale
and by the purchasers shipped off at once Chicago
This is certainly very summary mode Of procedure
but we presume the Lumber Agent had got short Of
funds. and prompt measures became necessary.
I From all accounts there is an interesting state Of
affairs existing between the Agents and the lumber
men, There has been an instance of seizure by the
umbermen after seizure by the Agents, and the mem
bcrs OF the Bar in Michigan and Illinois are now
very deeply engaged in the study Of the relative legal
! itv Of the two seizures
! The Chicago Press thinks that ''if there is not
great folly and wrong in the conduc, of officials at the
lumber districts, there is great misrepresentation Of
their duty on their part great misundcr standing
on the part Of the people"
The Minncso,ian, in its anxiety ''to notice the snccr
thrown out at that old veteran whg, Col. Wilcox,"
by the Pioneer of last week. admits that our remarks
in regard to the relative strength of the proni-
ment whis candidates for the Delcgacy contained BY
far more truth than poetry 1t may all be very
true that no Other whg 'save the Captain residing
Sin the counties west OF the Mississippi, and in RAM
sey,' will consent TO become candidate, but docs
1t follow that the wings Of ''the counties west Of the
Mississippi Will not support wing from different
section OF the Territory, and one too who abored so
strcnuousy last winter to secure the interests Of the
counties west OF the Mississppi' during the excite.
in the Legislature relative 10 the county lines Of
those counties. How is the relative strength of Col.
Wilcox and Capt W kin ia the ''olhcr parts of the
Territory not alluded to- by tho Minneso,ian,
We arc sill Of the opinion tha, the cold veteran
wing, Col. Wilcox,"i is BY far the strongest man,
but 1t il unimporan, which of the gentlemen runs as
the Democratic candidate is certain Of election lie
could beat btu the wing candidates, ''and not half

son Journal, printed At Hudson ST. Croix County.
