THE RIVER AMAZON

THE RIVER AMAZON
The New York Times has a glowing descrip-
ton Of the fertility of the soil and delicousness
of climate that renders the country washed by
the Amazon for four thousand miles an earthly
paradise. We give an extract:
OF all that is most beautiousy imaged there
In happier beauty, more pellucid streams,
An ampler either, diviner air,
And fields invested with perpetual gleams
Chimes which the sun, who sheds the brightest ray
Earth knows, are all unworthy of survey
The extent of the Amazonian garden is like
wise marvellous. Used rs we are, in this Wes-
tern world, to the most unbounded physical
magnitude, we are nevertheless started at des'
criptious of a stream which drains circle OF
territory 5000 miles in diameter, and flows for
1000 mles-and is $50 miles wide at the mouth
is fed by 200 tributaries, some ofwhich equal
the Mississippi in size--and into, which the tide
flows upwards of six hundred miles. 1t is a
vast inland sea, all the more valuable, CONNER
cally, for the proximity of its shores-oceans
are inconveniently wide-and navigable for yes.
sells of medium burden to an incredible distance.
The whole population of the globe might colo
nize in those delightful wildernesses, living ca
silly on the slightly aided growth of the soil
and extending their lives, so equable and health
full the climate, to patriarchal length and ener-
gy.
The temperature ever genial and kindly
the soil exuberant, responding to the call of the
husbandman in lavish plenty, and without dis
crimination-the growth of the plant from the
seed to the full corn in the full ear, unsuspend.
ed by any outward sky influence-the region of
the Amazon is indeed the garden of the earth.
Where three or four crops of any grain may be
readily grown in year where trees bear all
the fruits of all climates, and every paradsical
condition of vegetable life thrives greenly-
where diamonds glitter in the ground, and gold
and silver thicken the dust-where the air is
vocal with the music of birds, whose plumage
outshines the iris in the spendor ofits colorlng
the fancy of the sturdiest mathematician may
well thaw and gush out rapturously as does
that of the enthusiastic lieutenant.
And while the region is universally tempting
its relation to our own commercial system is
peculiarly intimate. 1t is branch of that vast
trunk is found in the Mexican and Caribbean
Seas, and the branches the Mississippi, the Rio
Grande, the Orinoco, and the various smaller
estuaries, discharging into that great BASIN
Lieut.. Maury has elsewhere proved by compe-
tent testimony, that the currents of the Misss-
sippi and Amazon converge at some point not
far south of Cuba; and that the North Ameri-
can fiat boat and the Amazonan canoe if left to
fate and the tides, would eventually greet each
other at that rendezvous. To the United States
then, rather than to any other people, does the
wealth of the Amazon belong.

SCHOOL HoUsEs.-We have heretofore
noticed the commendabe spirit, which pre-
walls in some localities in this section of coun-
try, in respect to the building of good school
houses. A school house has recently been
completed in the town Of Somers, in this
county, which deserves being mentioned. 1t
is of ample size, neatly finished and painted
externally and internally. The seats and 9TH
er fixtures are arranged according to the APP
proved modern plans. 1t has also the adj
vantage of being situated in fine, natural
grove of young trees. There are many dis
tricts in the county, which still retain their
old-fashioned, ill-contrived school houses, that
have the wealth and the ability to improve
by such examples as have been set in the
town Of Somers.

. Judge spooner. ,

Some Of the political Journals in the State
seem to BE greatly exercised Exercised because of the
appointment by Governor Farwell, of Wy
man Spooner to the efice of Judge of this
Judicial district. One would judge from the
tone of some Of our fatherly journalists, that
the safety of the Union has really been en-
dangered and a great wrong done the people
1t does not appear that the appointment Of
Mr. Spooner is objected to for the reason that
he does not possess the requisite legal quail
fications or that he is not man of integrity
and moral worth. 1t appears, Judge Spoon
er does not believe in the divinity of the Bal
timore platforms-that he has been heard to
speak disrespectfully of the compromise mea-
sures in general, and the Fugitive Slave law
in particular. Moreover, it is known he does
not sing praises and glorify the dominant par
ty in the State and nation. This being the
case, it seems to be agreed that he is unfit to
occupy the judicial bench, and the faithful
are called upon to denounce him as an A5o-
htionast. There are some half-dozen public
Journals in the State, whose vocabulary ofep-
ithets SENS to be pretty much circumscribed
to the use of the word -AJolitioaist," as APP
piled to political opponent Every man
and every political measure opposed to the
rule of the party in power, is labelled a5oli-
ton. How dignifed! how satisfactory and
edifying is such wondrous political argu-
mentation!

GE MsErING AT DuTToN's.-The PR

EF MEETING AT DUTToN' s.-The pro-
ceedings of meeting held at buttons last
week were sent to US, requesting an insertion
in the Telegraph. The non-appearance of
the proceedings in our paper last week, will
be explained, when we inform our friends that
our entire edition of the Telegraph for the
county, was struck off and mailed before the
proceedings of the meeting above mentioned,
came to hand. And inasmuch as we have
been desired to publish the resolutions of the
meeting this week, we willingly give them a
place; they are as follows:
Resolued, That we are decidedly opposed,
both in principle and practice, to any system
of legislation, that proposes to tax the masses
for the benefit of the few.
RESOLVED, That we will support no man to
represent us in the State Senate, who is not
uncompromisingly opposed to pledging the
faith of the county of Kenosha to benefit any
private corporation.
RESOLVED, That we hereby instruct our rep
resentative from this Western district, to use
all honorable means to defeat the passage of
a law submitting tbs question to the electors
of Kenosha county.

or the Telegraph.
We had the pleasure of participating in
the festivities of rural picnic on Saturday
last, in school district No. 2, Bristol. The
place chosen for the gathering was in the
shade of a beautiful grove, little distance
north Of the school house. The company
numbered 20 or 80 individuals, a large share
of whom were youth and children, who had
left their books in the school-room, and had
met together to spend holy-day, and their
smiling countenances bespoke happy hearts
There were also present a goodly number Of
parents and friends of the school. 1t was ex-
pected that speakers would be present to in
terest and instruct: but in this they were dis
appointed. A number of swings were sus
pended from the boughs of some of the large
trees, and these afforded pleasant source Of
amusement Then there were songs, sung
with hearty good will, which rang through
the lofty forest trees, and were echoed back
by thousand sylvan voices. Those who did
not wish to join in these exercises, found means
of enjoyment in culling the wildwood flow
ers. At o'clock p. NJ, all were assembled
around table loaded with "good things, y
and we were pleased to note the orderly be-
havior of the younger ones while standing
around the table, Each and all were boun-
tifully served; indeed, we observed one little
fellow, whose supply SO far exceeded his de-
mand, that he had seated himselfupon the grass
and when we saw him he was peeping out
from under large pile of sweetcake.
We took leave of the teacher and friends
of the school towards the close of the after
noon, feeling that we had spent the time hap
PLY and proftably. We believe that such
gatherings arc beneficial to teacher, scholar
and parent. Ii parents can not visit theil
schools, let them meet their children assem-.
bled in the capacity of a picnic party; and
thus manifest their interest and solicitude fol
their happiness and advancement in useful
knowledge. Nothing is better calculated tc
urge on the young mind in the requirement
of knowledge, and to encourage the teacher in
the performance of his arduous duties, thar
frequent visits from the patrons of the school
RUsTIcUs.

nentation

We are informed that the Kenosha and
Rock River Railroad Company will in a few
days lssueproposals for the letting of the con-
tract; furthermore, that the interests of the
enterprise are being pressed forward as fast
as possible. The grading of the Rock River
Valley road from Janesrille to the State line
is progressing well. The prospects of the
Southern Wisconsin road are improving ev-
cry day; the whole line will soon be under
contract and the work inprogress. Dubuque
city and county have voted loan of $780,
600 for extending the road westward of the
Mississippi River. Every thing indicating
progress in this great western chain of roads
greatly enhances the Importance of the con-
nectlon OF our Kenosha road with them, and
increases the necessity for an early beginning
of the work.

CAHooN's GARDEN.-Whoerer desires to
see fruits, flowers, choice shrubbery and veg
etables, growing mostuxuriantly and in great
abundance, should visit the garden of our
friend Mr.. Cahoon-known all over the west
ern country, as the grower of mammoth pie
plants. MIR. O. is raising pie plant enough
this year to supply quarter of the State
To give our readers something of an idea of
the astonishing size of his pie plants, it may
be remarked that single stalk measures ten
inches in circumference, and leaf seventeen
feet in circumference? We should have
deemed such statements incredible, had we
not witnessed the measurement of one of the
stalks As to the measurement of the leaf,
we were satisfied to take the word of the wor-
thy proprietor.

LEGISLATIVE DIGNITY.-Last week we had
few extra copies of our paper, which we
concluded to send to members of the lerisla-
ture at Madison-not however with the in
tention of continuing to send hereafter, be-
cause we understand the legislature do not
design to order any pagers during this part
of the session. Among the number sent, we
addressed one to an Hon, member of the le-
gislature from Winnebago county. Some
three or four days afterwards, the paper was
returned by mail to this office, written upon
the margin in hand writing which it is said
looks very much like that of the said Winnie
bagoan. The literal reading of it is thus =
"Keepe you're danadd acooHey paper at
hum" Now ifany one has hitherto had any
doubts as to the genuine democracy of the
Winncbago member, they ought to be dis
missed at once-the question is settled. We
congratulate the Winnebago constituency of
so chaste and refined representative, and
respectfully recommend to the anteryfed, bis
speedy promotion in the ranks.
