CALoRIc SHIP.-But little has been said
respecting this extraordinary invention for
some time past. Capt. Ericsson, the invent

~The editor of the Wisconsin is quite
sure, because some lawyers in Rock CO. want
Mr.. Doolittle for Judge of this district, that
he will be elected next fall. We would sug
gest to the editor that this district comprises
several counties, and people generally, as well
as lawyers, vote on the occasion, and that con-
sequently, his conclusion is much too large
fof his premises.

THE TRIAL OF ANN WHEELER-We sta
ted in our last that the Jury in this trial had
failed to agree, and were discharged. A new
trial at once, was demanded by the prisoners
counsel. Efforts to postpone and to change
the venue were made, but being objected to
by prisoners counsel, were refused by the
Judge, and the trial was again opened on Mon
day last. AS might be supposed, much diff
ficulty existed in getting aJury. Several pa
nels were exhausted, but the Sentinel of We'd
nesday morning says that ten Jurors had
been obtained at that time and no doubt the
other two would be during that day. The
trial no doubt will cover the same ground as
before, and of its result we will inform our
readers.

KENosHA AND Rock RIVER r. RIVE
learn that the surveys on this road will be
completed this week. after which the plats
and estimates will be perfected as soon as pos
sible. We are assured that the. directors are
pushing forward the interests of the road with
all possible diligence.
We are pleased to learn that the farmers
of the county west ofus, regard this enterprise
with increasing favor. The evidences which
come from almost every direction, of the in
fiuence which rail roads produce on the val
lie of real estate, are SO conclusive, that no
land holder in the vicinity of proposed rail
road, can for a moment hesitate as to his true
interests. No improvements ever projected
have contributed so largely to increase the
aggregate value of property within the past
three years, as rail roads.

N The kenosha Telegraph states as a
matter of information to farmers, that there
are forwarding houses in that city. We know
of no place where the merchants are so re-
CARELESS of their true interests as in Kenosha.
Many a small country village from the looks
of its newspaper, would seem to be doing
more business than Kenosha.-Her promi-
nent merchants had better each pay $50 a
year for Advertising, than to pursue their
present course.-lMa. Free Dem.
There may be cities of no greater size than
this, the columns Of whose paperss manifest
more life and enterprise in the business of
such cities; nevertheless, we have no dispo-
sition, nor indeed much reason, to complain
of want of liberality on the part of our bu
siness men in the matter of advertising. They
generally advertise in our own, or some other
paper of the city, and the few who do not,
may be presumed to be the best judges of
their own interest, as we'll also as that of the
city generally. Butwe would suggest to those
who do advertise, that there is art in adverti
zing as well as in every thing else; and the
appearance of want of business in our city
in that respect, arises, we suspect more from
the manner of advertising, than from want of
it. AS a matter of individual interest to the
advertiser, and of general advantage to the
business appearance of the place. we think
advertisements should be frequently renewed
and changed. A running fire of advertise
ments should be kept up, to accomplish any
thing. We have some doubt whether the
same advertisement attracts attention more
than very few weeks; and for our own part
we had rather change them frequently with
out any extra charge, than to keep up the
same monotonous unattractive appearance to
our paper month after month.

EE- The Tribune contains another letter
from N. P. Tallmadge, on the subject of spir-
itualism, which is interesting, as it is devoted
entirely to facts Of. his own experience in con-
nection with the matter. He concludes as
follows:
at proves,
/. The Immortality of the soul.
2. The power of spirits to revisit the earth.
5. Their ability to communicate with rela-
tives and friends.
4. The identity of the spirit to all eternity.
How ones soul expands with these sub
lime conceptions How resistless is this tes-
timony of their truth! How surprising that
men can doubt, when this flood of living light
is poured upon them by spirits who, in the
language of Webster, "revel in the glory of
the eternal light of God"

The PEOPLE OF VIRGISIA.-We have
often heard Virginia eulogised as noble and
patriotic State; the generosity of her people
have long been theme of praise. 1t is true.
Virginia has produced some noble specimens
of greatness, but the condition of many of
her population is degraded in the extreme.
AS an evidence of the truth of what say, we
make an extract from an editorial article in a
Lynchburg, Virginia paper, now lying before
us. Speaking of the condition of the inhab-
itants in district of country composed of
parts of the counties of Floyd, Patrick and
Carroll, the editor says:
"Will our readers believe, that in the State
of Virginia, there is fertile section of coun-
try inhabited by a people who do not know
the use of iron-who know not even the use
of clothing, save to keep them warm-who
neither read nor write-who never saw the
bible? Even the Minister never had BIZ
bic until one was given Eim."
The same paper publishes letter from a
minister of the gospel, confirming his decla-
rations in regard to the degradation of the
people, of whom he speaks. The following
extract from the latter, will serve as speci-
men:
The lamentable condition of the people, is,
| think, mainly attributable to the great want
of education among them. You have heard,
and Perhaps met with persons farming in this
country, who besides their axe, have not so
much iron and steel all put together, yet the
generous old mother earth, notwithstanding
their scanty labor, yields bountiful harvest,
To improve this country, the people must
first be improved; they cannot afford to spare
the time for schooling their children. The
sunday school established among them last
summer, was literally patronized; parents and
children were in the primer class together.
Young women walked five, and men six and
even seven miles, to attend the school, many
who came, were ashamed of their clothes, 9th
ers were prevented from coming, because theirs
were not better.
Whether this sad picture of the condition
Of society, results in any measure from the
fact that one of the great business interests of
that section of country, is the raising of hui
man chattels for a more southern market, our
renders can draw such conclusions as they
think proper. AS to the need of education
among the people, the matter is invested with
great difficulties. 1t is only some two or
three weeks ago, that some of the Virginia
papers informed us of the arrest of a Virgini-
MAN lady, for the crime of teaching children
of color to read. While legal enactments like
these exist there can be but little hope of the
general diffusion of education, either among
the white or the colored population.

@-The New Supreme Court commenced
its first session at Madison, on Wednesday
last. Its business was to appoint Clerk,
and to decide by lot between the associate
Judges which should hold two and which six
years. The Chief Justice holds, by law, four

re- Many of our Free Democratic breth-
rem throughout the state as we'll as indiyidu-
ais of other parties, are exercised upon the
subject of possible coalition at the next state
election, between Free Democracy and Wing
gerry, and have taken occasion to free their
minds in the matter, according to their likes
or dislikes. We have no horror of coalitions
in the abstract; coalitions are good or bad as
the results sought are good or bad, and we
are quite ready for any coalition which pro-
misses good fruits. Nevertheless, we can see
no reason for formal coalition of the kind
apprehended, and have no idea that any such
will take place. There is quite as much affinity
between Hunker and Free Democracy, as be-
tween the latter and Whiggery, which makes
the reason for coalition in one case no better
than the other. We have no ambition to
beat the Democracy merely for the sake of
beating them; if we cannot accomplish some
enduring vital good by their defeat we have
no great desire to defeat them, and we can
see no possible good from formal coalition
of the kind alluded to. If there is any prin-
ciple at stake in the NATTER it is our duty to
vindicate it by voting for men who truly re-
present it; ifthere is not, as party we have
little interest in the matter, and may consult,
as individuals, such preferences as we choose.
We know of no good reason for any formal
coalition between the Free Democracy and
any other party. The Free Democracy will
never grow strong on coalitions. It will grow
as the other parties weaken, and what it re-
quires Is, the entire dissolution of old parties
that parties may be reconstructed on the ba-
sis of living issues, ground it already occu-
pies. This is what it requires, and certainly
coalition will do nothing for that end, on
the contrary, retard it. Old Democracy and
old Whiggery, as parties, are both without VI
tally; they have both fulfilled their mission
and are ready to die, and will die just as soon
as they get a chance Nothing keeps them
in shape and form, but outside Influences
The Democracy, to all appearance, is all pow
erful at the present time in this state. Per-
severing opposition will only serve to keep
up and perpetuate its strength. Let it alone
and twill crumble to the dust. Policy then
is against any coalition having no other end
in view than simply to defeat the democracy.
In conclusion, there are three plans of ac-
ton either of which we would be satisfied with
l. To recommend ticket without respect
to party, composed of good men, with special
merit for the places to which they are nomi-
mated.
2. To make an exclusively Free Democra-
tic Ticket.
8: To stand quietly back and let our dem
oeratic and wing brethren have another shout"
quite sure that when the former come to strike
the resistance will be so slight, that both will
tumble over together.
