has created quite sensation on the banks of
the Bay, and may very justly, be regarded as a
complete eliacher to all the hopes and aspirat-
ons of our dear friends of the Feure Diggimgs.
NEW York, Jan. 90, 1853
Mayor of the City Of Gaiena.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of 9Th inst covering
an Ordinance of the city of Galena, passed Dec
81, so, has been received and submitted to the
Executive Committee
The Board consider that they are bound to
build practicable continuous road from La
Sale to point OF the Mississippi opposite
Dubuque. They are bound to proceed via Ga
lena, but are allowed to pass through that city
without the consent of its Common Council.
The executive Co,nn'ittee understand the act to
require the Company TO ask simply for the per-
mission through the city, leaving all other ques
tons to be settled by the Charter, and the laws
of the State IN force when that Charter was
granted. They do not mean, however, to deny
the right of the City Council to make any con-
ditions they please contingent on that permits
sion but they do consider that if such eondlti-
ons such that they cannot, in accordance
with their duty to themselves or their obgatl.
ons to the State, accept the Ordinance practi'
cally denies the permission asked, and they
have no resort but to take the next best course
that is offered to accomplish the object of their
Charter. 1t is hardly worth while TO enter into
detail on the Objectionable features of the Ordi
nance. No rate of freight or Of passage that We
could ever establish would enable us to begin to
pay an interest on the expenditure that would
be required, and no human intelligence could
enable us to Judge what, under the provisions
it contains would satisfy the successive coun
ellis that may from year to year hold the road
under their control.
/ have also received the copy of a resolution
adopted by the Mayor and Council on the Ii th
inst, appointing Committee to receive any
proposition the agents of the Company may
make, based on stipulation that the River be
not crossed below the corporate limits of the
city.
| am not entirely sure, but I am very conf
dent that it is physically impossible to cross the
river & continue the road, as is here suggested
unless we shout cross it entirely above the
town, and proceed, as | once suggested, but
was not listened to, on an elevated terrace along
the levee on the West side Eof the river. If |
am right about this do INT see that we.can make
any proposition that will be agreeable to the city
but we will endeavor, in the route we have Sc
lected, to give to its citizens and its trade every
possible accommodation, while we shall avoid
any interference with their streets property.
Respectfully, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
u. A. NEAL,
Vice President.

In one of our Western villages few years
ago, there dwelt man whom for convenience
sake we shall call Smith said Smith, was
ugen,us" and had tried his hand at every thing
in the way of business, and 'tnothing long, for
tune would not come at his bidding, and his pat
rmonial estate was fast dwinding away; ms
case was becoming desperate, but he resolved
to make one more strike for fortune. Accord
ingly he rented shop and invested his small
fund in the purchase Of 'sfreslr hides, with tho
hair on expecting to sell at liberal advance
TO travelling SPECTATORS, when they "came
round" Time passed, but no customers appear
ed what could be the reason' Having weigh
ed the matter duly in his mind, he concluded
that it was for the want of suitable sign, and
as there was no funds left to pay the painter iol
one, he (Smith) was thrown upon his own gen
ius to get one up, so borrowing an augur, he in
a very scientific and workman like manner
bored hole through the house, beside the door
then he selected calf skin, the tail of which
he put through the hole, letting 1t hang grace
why had he not thought of it before and rub
bling his hands, IN high glee he took his station
at the window, to watch the effect his work
would have upon the passers by but custo ners
would not come, and poor smiths patience was
we'll nigh exhausted, when richly dressed
stranger came along, his eyes were turned to-
ward the door, would he two pass NO, he hes
itates-stops-hi eyes are fixed upon the work
of genius Smiths heart beat quick, for this
must evidently be the long looked for "first Gus
TONER Bat why did he not enter? Why
stand there gazing upon The sign SO long, when
he (Smith) was so anxious to display his stock
within. Smith fearing the stranger would at
last pass on, thought he had better invite him
in, SO opening his door, he babe him enter, the
stranger made no reply, but stood as one under
a spell, his eyes riveted upon the tail and his
every feature betraying strange mixture Of
perplexity, wonder, and establishment.
"Walk in sir !" suggested Smith.
Still no reply-As the bright vision of prof
table customer vanished from Smiths brain
curiosity took its place. If the stranger was
not trader, what was he? and what his motive
for acting ,hus' Smith must known.
He approached the stranger and placing his
hand upon his shoulder, cried.
oHollo sir Who are you' and why stand
YOU here like one demuted ~
The stranger started as from deep reverie
and without moving his eyes replied. sSir,
am Philosopher, long have studied nature
in all its forms; men too have studied, and
all the works of men no mystery so great have
found up to this time, but that could unravel,
but this sir pointing to the taiD is beyond my
comprehension, for DIN me, if can tell hoc
that calf got through so SMALL hole.

WASHINGTON, Jan. -.
The death of Senator Douglas wife wal an
nounced last Wednesday, and the funeral was
to occur to-day. There are three strong reasons
to doubt whether she is not still living in
trance. She appeared to die without disease.
Up to late hour last night, gentle friction pro-
duced flush on the cheek, and one OF the
usual effects Of dissolution have yet appear.
ed.
OF course she will not be inferred until more
conclusive proofs of death have presented them
selves.
If the hopes excited by these circumstances
shall be realized, there will be great JOY here,
among large circle which she adorned, and
who sympathize deeply in the bereavement OF
the Senator.
The funeral Of Mrs Douglas took place at
noon to-day, and was attended by large con-
course of private friends and distinguished citi-
zens. Rev. Mr.. Samson, Pastor, of East Eighth
Street Baptist Church, of which the deceased
was member, pronounced a brief discourse
The Chaplains Of Congress assisted in the servl-
ces Senator Douglas appeared stricken down.
The remains were taken to the Congre

HoMIcIpE AT DIS Arc, ARKANsAs.-Wa
learn says the Memphis Eagle Of the 4th, that
an ARRAY occurred last week at Des Arc, in
which Sam Dixon was killed. This Dixon who
it appears was the most notorious desparado,
! has some time since shot man, and was under
| indictment for murder. Last week he crossed
over to Dies Arc, and got into one or two rows,
beating and abusing one or more persons: DIR.
A. R. Wilson, quiet and exemplary citizen,
made some such remarks as that such outrages
ought not to be tolerated which coming to the
knowledge of Dixon. he assaulted the Doctor in
the street, knocking him down with brick bat,
and beating him most brutally. The Doctor
who is man of small physical power, procured
gun loaded it, and shot Dixon on sight, the
same day killing him almost instantly. We
hear, that upon examination before magistrate
the Doctor was discharged.
Doctor Wilson is an emigrant from Tennes.

Hon. Augustus G.. Dodge

II called upon to designate the individual in the
United States Senate, TO whom the people of Mime
sofa are most indebted for firm and unwavering ad-
vocacy of their interests in that body, should
hesiiangly name the Senator from Iowa, Hon. A.
c. Dodge.
From the time the organization of our Territory
first agitated in Congress, up the close Of the
last session, he has stood prominently forward the
firm and steadiast friend of Minnesota through evil
well as through good report. But by the aid
dered by his respected Father, Senator from Wiscon-
would have been organized in 1919, and it is abso-
utely certain that but for their efforts, the vtay m
portant Sioux Treaties would have been rejected.
The Territories being unrepressnted in the Senate,
the Delegates are wholly dependant upon the atten-
ton Of friendly Senators, for carrying out
for the benefit of their respective constituencies
which have been passed by the House OF Represen-
tatves. Minnesota, we have the pleasure to ac-
knowledge, is under cations many other distn
guished gentlemen in the Senate, for the deep inter-
est they have manifested in Territorial prosperi-
;y, but is gratitude due, in larger
proportion than to Gen. Dodge.
Essentially Western in his tastes and feel
ngs, and of rreproachable private character. Gen.
Dodge combines a strong and cultivated intellect with
remarkably correct judgment Of men and things.
lie is ardent and untring in the discharge Of his Of
fetal duties, and to him, first Delegate to Con
gress and since its admission into the Union, SEN
ator. is Iowa greatly indebted for the many avors she
has received at the hands Of Congress. No man
commands in greater degree, the respect and conf
dence OF the General Government, for nc is known
TO be scrupulousy correct in his statements, and to
be sternly opposed to all profse and improper expen
diture Of the public treasure. In word, he is
model Democratic Senator true to his State and to
the Union and Iowa may well foster him repre-
sentative without fear and without roproach,'' to
whose hands her dearest interests may safely be
trusted.
