Affairs at NIndISNn.

In addition to the legislative transactions
given in our Madison correspondence, we
take the following from the correspondence
of the Milwaukee Sentinel:
Madison, June 25, SO.
The Managers of the Impeachment closed
their case shortly after 3, p. NJ only reserv-
ing to themselves the right of introducing
certain records and of calling in additional
witness. 1t is now thought that the whole
of next week will be occupied in the case,
and perhaps two or three days of week sue
ceeding. am not without hopes that the
whole matter, trial, legislation, and all, will be
over by the 1th at the farthest; but yet the
debate on the Fox River Improvement sub
ject may possibly extend the session still fur
ther. l hope not. Legislation is moving
along The Fon du Lac railroad quarrel,
which was such sight for gods and men last
winter, is all over The bill for consolidating
the two companies passed the Senate this
morning, and is doubtless before this time
signed by the Governor.
The bill consolidating the Madison and
Prairie du Chen R. r. Co., with the Mil
waukee and Mississippi R. R. Co., is also
passed, the new company uniting the capital
stock (S4,5OO,OO0)and all privileges of the
separate companies. learn that arrange
ments are in contemplation to put on line
of steamers on the Wisconsin River from Prai-
RE du Chen to Arena, connecting there with
a line of stages to Stoughton, as soon as the
railroad reaches that place, which will be soon
enough to accommodate large share Of ira
yel to and from the Mississippi this year.
The Treasury is understood to be "
What do you think of that? The heavy dis
bursements of last session seem to have used
up all that was in the vaults at the opening,
all that came in during the session, and the
$4,000 loan besides; and yet nothing seems
to have been paid of the very large expenses
of the Impeachment (variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $50,00O,) except sundry
bills of the Clerk and Sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate during the recess. Included in the
expenses of the impeachment must, of course,
be the pay Of members and officers, and |
understand that their chance for payment is
no better than that of any one else. That is
a pretty state of things. The members are
now talking of considering Washington coun-
ty as in state of Instruction, and availing
themselves of the Constitutional power grant
ed for that contingency, to raise another loan.
The idea is ingenious, and the brilliant IDEAL
tst deserves to be written down in immortal
verse.

KENosHA AND Rock RIVER RAIL ROAD.
BY reference to our advertising columns,
it will be seen that the Company have adj
vertised to receive proposals for the grading,
masonry, ties, &C., of the entire length of the
road, to its intersection with the Rock River
Valley Road.
This enterprise is bound to be pushed for
ward with all possible dispatch. The Direct
ors are determined to allow of no unnecessa-
ry delay. Confidence in the undertaking is
continually gaining ground at home and
abroad. No disinterested man who exam
ines the route of the proposed road; the re-
gion of country through which it is designed
to pass, and who duly considers the impor-
lance of the roads with which it is designed
to connect, can have any hesitancy in coming
to the conclusion that it will prove paying
road, equal to any west of Lake Michigan.

EE Our Madison correspondence assures
us that we were mistaken last week, in attrib-
uting a scurrillous note, written on the mar
gin of newspaper, to q member from Win
ebago county. Glad to hear it; furthermore,
glad to hear that the members are all gen
tlemen.
Itissaid this piece of obscenity was probably
the production of the Assembly's post master,
who, it appears, has distinguished himself by
sending filthy communications to other Off
ces, as well as this. Well, we had always
supposed that it was well established prin-
ciple, not only in this country, but from the
earliest times of English Jurisprudence; IN
deed, as far back as the days of Justinian,
that employers are responsible for the con-
duct of their agents.

ES" A writer in the Waukegan Gazette
speaks doubtingly Of the prospects of the
Lake Shore road in Illinois. The writer SAYS
"there is nothing to inspire confidence in the
men who have the matter in charge; on the
contrary, the course pursued by them has
been such as to create distrust and doubt as
to their Designs In conclusion he remarks :
at is time the Directors showed their
hands in this affair." and exhibited reliable and
satisfactory evidence of their intention to build
the road. If they are sick of their bargain
we Waukegan people will take the matter
in hand, and build and equip the road in less
time than they have been devising ways and
means, filling their pockets out of the specu-
lation,"

Law to Prevent Railroad Accidents.

A bill has been introduced in the Legisla-
ture of New York for the effectual proven
ton of railroad accidents. We notice among
other provisions the following:
The 18th section subjects every railroad
company to a penalty Of $500 that shall en-
ploy any person as conductor, engineer, fire
man, or in any other capacity connected with
the running of the cars, who habitually uses
intoxicating liquors.
Section II provides that if any loss of life
or injury to any passenger shall occur, in
consequence of the intoxication of any person
employed by the company, such intoxicated
person shall be subjected to imprisonment
for term not exceeding ten years.
Now if the use of intoxicating drinks, is
the producing cause of terrible railroad ca
lamities-so much so as to demand such Sc
we're penalties, why not make the application
to all other matters as well as railroads -
Why not pass the Maine Liquor Law at
once, and put an end to the havoc of life and
property occasioned by intoxicating drinks {?

ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN RAILROAD
We learn from the Chicago Press that this
road, running from Chicago in a direct line
toward GAINESVILLE in this State, is progressing
rapidly. Seventy miles are under contract,
to be in running order by the first of Janua-
ry next forty miles are already graded, and
the rails are now ready in Chicago for thirty
miles. 1t is expected Chicago will be in
connection with GAINESVILLE by railroad by the
first of January next.

MADISON, June %, 1853

The bill providing for submitting to the

The friends of temperance will not take it
for granted that the simple privilege of vo-
ting on the question of prohibitory liquor
law is to accomplish the object sought for
The law which has just passed the legislature
only contemplates an expression Of the pub
lie will, as to whether the people desire the
enactment of a prohibitory liquor law, at a
time future. 1t is simply intended to signi-
fly to the next Legislature, what the wishes of
of the majority are. If the will of the peo-
pie on the question to be submitted, shall be
expressed in favor of such law, then the
next legislature will pass it; provided the
people elect the right kind of men next fall
to represent them. A disobeyance of the
will of the people is no new thing under the
sun in our representative form of government;
such things have occurred and may occur
again. Now, then, is the time for the friends
of such law to labor in earnest-frst, to
secure decided expression of the public will
in favor of Maine Law-second, to see
to it, that men are elected, who will faith
fully represent the will of the people in the
next legislature.
For the accomplishment for these objects,
we shall use every fair and honorable means.
We have no personal feeling Of hostility to-
wards any one engaged or interested in the
liquor traffic. We go for the suppression of
the liquor traffic, not because we desire to in
jure any one, but because we honestly believe
the best good Of our country requires its sup
preston. Moreover, we believe that the
abandonment Of the use and the extinguish-
ment of the traffic, would conduce to the in
dividual advantage of every person in the
State.

Turkey preparing for war.


The correspondent of the London Times,
says:
"The Turks are now preparing for war in
right earnest. Thirty thousand troops are
being sent from Egypt; many of them have
already arrived, and troops and ammunition
are moving at all points. 1t is supposed that
i'll Roumelia, the point next threatened, the
government will be able to bring at once So
900 men under arms. The present Grand
Vizier being an Albanian, is able through his
influence, to raise the whole of thst warlke
population.
A meeting of the British merchants resi-
dent at Constantinople, has been held, in or
der to address the Ambassador, and to ask
his counsel in the present state of affairs.
Orders were sent Achmet Pacha COM
mandimg the Mediterranean squadron, to re-
turn Immediately with his fleet. He was ex-
pected in Constantinople in the course of the
present week The fleet of the Viceroy of
Egypt was also expected in few days, and
courier having been sent to Alexander with
orders.
This fleet was to bring reinforcement of
$4,000 men; at the same time orders were
given to Omar Pacha, General in Chief Of
the army, to descend to Shumla with his
corps dornaee, force of from $4,000 to 10O,-
600 excellent troops, Injured to war, and a
great number of whom took part in the ex-
petitions to Bosnia Kurdistan and Monken-
egro. The Commander in Chief has also Or
dered the immediate formation of two camps,
one at Roudjoue, and the other at Broupa.
These two camps, composed Of the reserve,
will comprehend 100000 men, who, joined
to the active army of about 100000, will
form a total effective force of more than $780,
900 men available for the defence of the coun--
try. Beside its ordinary resources, Turkey
has at its disposal the reserve chest, recourse
to which is only had in extreme cases. This
treasury has not been opened since 1927.
Its present contents are estimated at 300,-
600 purses, or 100000 francs at least

EARBoR.-The work of dredging is stead
lily progressing; the piers are also being lev
elled up, and the cribs filled with stone. All
that has been done thus far on the harbor this
season, has been at the expense of the city:
the harbor has not been aided yet dollar
from the government appropriation. We are
confident of being able to announce before
the close Of the present season of navigation,
the completion of the harbor for all practical
purposes. This will be done whether the
government appropriation is made available
or not. The resources now at the command
of our city authorities are sufficient to insure
this result.
The government appropriation of $4,000
made by Congress a year ago, is shamefully
withheld from being applied to its legitimate
object by the management of those who have
it in control. The city of Kenosha would
probably have been much better off to-day,
if no reliance had ever been placed upon gov
crnment appropriations; our harbor would
have been completed at least SIX years ago,
had not the people relied upon the govern
ment to do that which they would have done
themselves had there been no such reliance
What is true of"this place in this respect, we
believe holds equally true of most other
towns on the Lake shore. 1t is now fifteen
years since Congress was first pettioned for
aharbor appropriation for this place; the Peo-
pie year after year were in earnest expecta-
ton Of obtaining government aid sufficient for
speedy completion of the harbor. During
the time before mentioned, but three appro-
priations have been granted-the last of which
has not yet been expended. The appropria-
tions made were small-expended at unsea-
sonable times, and, as every one knows, SO
injudiciously as to result in no great benefit
But Notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
ourcitizens have now the reasonable assurance
that the harbor will soon be completed, so as
10 afford facilities to steamers and vessels navi
eating the lakes, adequate to the necessities
of commerce

THE PACIFIC RAIL ROAD.-Four route:
are about to be surveyed to the Pacific, to try
and find which would be the shortest and ca
siest. One extreme south, by Texas, Ell Paso
and the ella, to San Diego, where magni-
fcent city is laid of, which will and sale for
its lots if it gets the road or a favorable re-
port; one extreme north of Puget's Sound,
where another magnificent city is projected,
and a charter for the road obtained from the
Minnesota Legislature by Robert j. Walker,
James Doty and their associates, which char
ter and city will become immensely valuable
on the success of Gov. Stevens magnificent
expedition. Then the Memphis and Albu-
querque route, which two places will also be-
come valuable if these points are taken from
the road. Finally, the central route from st.
Louis and San Francisco, which two places
will become the grandest cities in the world,
whether they get the road or not. Gov. Ste
vens is to start from the Upper Mississippi,
and Lieut.. Duncan and his party of sixteen
have gone around by the Isthmus, to start at
Puget's Sound, and meet Gov. Stevens party
in the mountains. Another division of the
Stevens expedition is in Canada collecting

CALIFORNIA NEWS.

The steamer Crescent City arrived at New
York yesterday with eight days later news.
She brought the mails, $4,000 on freight,
and 100000 in the hands of passengers
The news from the California mines is of the
most encouraging character. 1t is said the
yield of gold this summer will exceed that of
any former season. Agricultural prospects
are fine, and the crops Of grain will be album
dant. Gov. Bigler has been authorized by
the Legislature to organize body of men to
pursue the robber Joaquin. The sum of
$4,000 had been deposited in bank at San
Francisco by miner, the proceeds of atwelve
months labor. Among the list of deaths in
California, are VIM. F. Drew of Milton, Mass,
Frederick c. Hall of Me-, and Isaac F. Woods
of Mass.
The rainy season season had set in on the
Isthmus. Among the Crescent City's pas
sengers are several returned Australians, who
came up to the Isthmus in the ship Argo-

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Niagara.

The Niagara arrived at Boston on the
oath. The following is summary of news
brought by this arrival:
RUssIA-Prince Gortschadkaff has been
appointed Commander-in-C Chief of the Rus
sian army in Besarabia Up to the 4th In
slant the Russians had not moved up to the
Puth.
st. Petersburg letters say that the Empe-
ror's course is generally approved.
The attitude taken by the Sultan is much
approved by both Greeks and Turks in Sy-
ria as well as Turkey. A voluntary subscrip-
ton was making towards the expenses of ar
ming
The latest accounts were less favorable for
the MAINTENANCE of peace.
The messenger sent from ST. Petersburg is
said to have no discretionary power,-he
merely carries demand from the Gar that
the Porte shall within eight days accede to
Menschikoff'a Mtimatun,, or take the conse-
quences.
Meantime the Porte prepares bravely for
defence Orders have been given to Namik
Pasha, formerly Governor of Arabia, man
of much energy, to attack the Russians with
his forty thousand men, if they attempt to
cross the river Pruth.
Abbas Pasha's force of 10000 Egyptians,
commanded by SULLIVAN Pasha with the
Egyptian fleet of II vessels, were daily ex-
pected at Constantinople.
Mustapha Pasha, Governor of Therregonie,
offers to raise 100000 Albanians and march
them on any point. Renderhan Bey also de-
mands permission to raise force in Kurde-
stan.
The arming of the fleet was progressing
with vigor, and all the spare labor in Con-
stantinople was employed in conveying am
munition to the forts.
The present Ottoman force musters 1885,
900 regulars; and there are in all 100000
land forces with fleet of 500 guns besides
7 steamers and % smaller craft
A Russian force of 10000 infantry hangs
on The Moldayian frontier, and it is rumored
that the Gar himself will come to Ismail.
1t is stated that the Turks will make not
the Danube, but the range of the Ball1on their
line of defence.
While thus preparing for war the Divan
does not neglect the chances for peace. Ar
bitraton had been spoken OF, and Reschid
Pasha was in favor of such solution, but Sc
veral of his colleagues opposed it.
Rumor states that Austria offers informal
ly to mediate, to allow the Car an apology
to retreat with honor.
1t was positively stated by the London and
French press, that the English fleet had or
ders to join the French in the Bay of Bisika,
but on the ID Of June they had not left Nal
tn.
AT St. Petersburg, June 4th, there was
sufficient uneasiness to cause general dizziness
in the markets. The tendency of exchange
was still in favor of neutrality-suspicious. 36s

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

1t is the prevailing opinion among those
best competent to Judge, that crisis i'll Eu
ropean affairs is near at hand. The note Of
preparation for coming events is heard all
over the continent. Turkey has refused the
demands of Russia, and the consequence is,
both nations are getting in readiness for a
terrible conlct-the one for invasion, and the
other for national defence. Switzerland is
menaced by Austria because the former is
so liberal in affording shelter to the repub
lican refugees from Austrian despotism. The
Emperor of France is entirely averse to the
project of Russia to become the conqueror
and the possessor of Turkey, and will inter
pose the military strength of the Empire to
defeat such an acquisition. Never since civ
ilization began to throw off the habiliments
of barbarism in Europe, were the affairs Of
the continent apparently in a more complca-
ted condition. The ideas of freedom and
of self-government are gradually working
their way among the masses of the people
giving them aspirations after liberty and en-
reimbursement. Revolutions and overturn-
ings in Europe must come, sooner or later,
and the ardent hope of every true friend of
humanity is, that they may be speedily effecs
ted by the force of an enlightened public
opinion, and not by the dread alternative of
war and bloodshed.
