&c The GAINESVILLE Standard has a reply of
some length, to the letter o: Mr.. Durand, alluded
to in our last In it occurs the following in alIu-
sionto the prospects of the Racine and Belot Rail-
road which we copy not for its personalities, but
Tor Its illusions to the proper channels of trade:
" Had the Racine Company man at its head,
OF ability and honesty, who would look strictly to
the interests of the company,-Racine might be
benefited by important road, the stock in which
would be worth par after being built. But under
present auspices, we fear the company will only
bring upon itself contempt and ridicule~and RAJ
cine left as a competitor of Kenosha far in the
back ground. Instead of looking, like a sensible
man, to the west and northwest, for freight, pas
sengers and support of Racine Durand is made
the dupe of Beloit, and the Milwaukee and Mis-
sissippi Company, and induced to believe that the
legitimate channel therefor is TO be sought in the
southwest.
This may and doubtless would be beneficial to
Beloit, and we are very far from blaming the peo-
pie of that place for endeavoring to make the fell
low believe it is all right. We are, however, sur
Prised at the Racine Company, for permitting such
folly
They may go swimmingly awhilc,-during
the expenditure of the per centage on stock sub

experience in railroad matters, they will be laugh
ed at for their wild scheme and credulity.
Those men will tell them at once, your legiti-
mate course is westward into Iowa and where you
can get freight from up the Mississippi, not from
down that river, unless you are going into the ne

The Kossuth Charge--HKis trisi Isa phant
Position.

The discovery of arms, ect., in the Rocket
Factory at Rotherhite, by which suspicion
unjustly fixed upon Louis Kossuth, has ere
ated no little excitement in England and in
this country, But the investigation of the
matter proves that kossuth had no interest
or connection with the establishment; that it
was all the property of Mr.. Hale and had
been offered for sale by thegoyernment, The
triumphant defence of KoSSuth fastens censure
upon the British government and shows a
dastardly attempt to propitiate the favor of
Russia and Austria The last mail brings
the following particulars respecting the mat
ter:
The exposure of the rocket factory hoax
put forth by the London Times, has brought
that journal into rather difficult position.-
On the 18th, it had an editorial, in which it
still insinuated that he is at the bottom of the
affair. In the same paper denial published
by koSsuth, through captain Msyne Reid, is
dismissed by it in a contemptous style. VIM
Hale, son of the proprietor of the Rocket Fac
tory, publishes declaration that Kossuth had
nothing whatever to do with the business
that not an ounce fgunpowder was found on
the premises-that the factory was a bona
tIde establishment, carrying on patent bust
ness, and that the owner intends to prosecute
tho government for damages. In the mean
time the rockets are sent to Wolwieh The
y. Y. Times SAYS that 1T is not unreasonable
to infer, that the proceeding on the part of
the government Was aimed at Kossuth-that
it was part and parcel of that infamous system
of espionage by which England, for the graf
itication of Austria, has for some months past
sought grounds ofproceeding against the ex-
lied Hungarians; and that the Times received
its information from some government source,
and gave it publicity for some government
interest. The London Press is unanimous iu
branding this assault of the Times upon Kos
suth as disgracefll to British journalism, and
degradingt to English hospitality. Its in keep

paper has pursued him from the beginning;

Orr VMage.-Seeing the examples of our
sister villages in the state we were about to
ask for a city charter; but some ofour friends
in the cities, advise us not to do it; they say
they want one village left in the state, that
their children may be able to see it
1t is encouraging to see the new buildings
springing up; we counted twelve new dwell
lings in progress to day, besides several shops
and one respectable sized church.
Well there is room for more, a few spare
lots left and the Public Lands are going to
be sold here soon.
And when you get here, if you should not
like our village, there is Little Bull Falls,
Dubay's, Wausau, and Jenny Bull Falls, above
here all fine thriving places offering no COM
mon inducements to settlers. Wausau isthe

Lake Erie.-1t is stated that a full chart
of Lake Erie has been compiled from surveys
made under the direction of the Topographic

divided into three sections; the first extend
ing downward from the head of the Lake to
Point Pellee Island the second from that Is
land to the base of Long Point; and third be-
low that point to the Niagara River. The
first section is the shallowest, and presents
general plat or level, with an average depth
of thirty feet water. The second division
presents another and much more extensive
plat or level, with no Instructions to naviga-
ton, with a depth of water from sixty to sew
enty feet. The the third section is the deep
est, as well as the most uneven portion of the
Lake, ranging from go to 204 feet in depth.
This greatest depth is a short distance below
Long Point, where the Atlantic lies. All
reefs, shoals, bars, and other Instructions are
laid down with great accuracy. Lieut. Mac
