have heard OF 10 movement towards its proper
Observance in this place, and presume that moth
ing OF the Kind is contemplated We understand
our Franklin neighbors making arrangements
for a Celebration aud desire the attendance of
the citizens of Mineral Point, as well those of
other portions Of the county. An Grafton is ex-
pected from l. f. MEssuonE, Esq, of this vii
lage; Mr.. Andrew 8oLsrER, of the Wisconsin
House, is to provide dinner, and we have no
doubt it will be right. We hope citizens will
meet with them and participate in the pleasures
of the occasion. There is no time more suitable
Tor manilesting thas unity OF feeling that should
characterize the citizens of all portions of the
country, than celebration OF this kind, and on
such day. The distance from Mineral Point is
not too great for a pleasant ride, and if the day
is fair, citizens would enjoy it much. We
hope TO see liberal delegation from this place at
franklin, on that occasion

RIoody Affray--Seyen Men Killed

One of the crew OF the canal boat Flying Cloud
owned by Sheppard & Houghteing of this city
arrived in the city yesterday and brought intelii
gence OF a terrible encounter between Capt Henry
Brown, and party composed principally Of the
crew of the repairing scow, at Ottawa, in which
seven of the latter were shot down. The circum
stances as related follows:
At Lasaile, while the Flying Cloud was coming
through the locks, one or two Of the scows crew
came on board and wantonly threw favorite do

thereupon put the off the boat, and in gen

a party of twenty more. and took wagons and
came mp to Ottawa TO lie in wait for the boat and
take vengeance. A messenger dispatched
from Ottawa by friend to meet the boat and
warn Captain Brown of his danger He loaded
two Colts revolvers and shot gun and on arfiv-
ing at Ottawa gave of the pistols oil his
men, and taking him with him. started for the

and then fled, leaving the Captain alone light the

as the jumped on him he discharged his
weapon with fatal precision, each shot dropping a

Captain regained his boat, somewhat bruised from
the blows he received, but seriously wounded.

The War News.

Some OF the New York papers come to us with
such headings over the European News, as to IN
duce belief on first sight. that some very impor-
taut intelligence had been received, but upon ex-
animation it is generally found to turn out some
thing like travelling Circuses. the greatest interest

kind we'll calculated TO lead the reader to suppose
he was about to lean some important victory
and that some definite action had been had by the
great armies. But when we come 10 peruse that
sheet we lnd that all the interesting news Is, as
LAWYER would term it, all In posse; in other
words vet to be learned. Many OF our readers,
we are aware are very impatient to learn that
great battle has been fought, and thousands of their
fellow beings slams we actually had one man dis

have not before this informed him that the Turks
and their allies had annhated Russia, and 'con
quered peace Now it is not cur fault that the
Gar the Sultan, Napoleon and Queen Victoria,
together with Charles Napier and all the rest of the
adrnirals have not received a severe drubbing
and the masses permitted 10 attend to their own
affairs, unmolested by the curses of war. BUT We
have no idea that such will be the result for a long
time. More than year has already elapsed since
the Gar and Sultan commenced action and serious
preparations for war, for nearly that time, war
has really been waged between Russia and Turkey.

victories gained by the armies of the latter enough
one would suppose, to end the contest. Several
months have elapsed since the Angl 10 French decla-
ration of war, which expected by some to be
followed by an almost instantaneous subjugation
of Russia but as yet nothing has been done in
that way England has already expended two
millions sterling, Turkey has become bankrupt,

over thirty thousand lives have already been sacri

age to nay one The Russians are said to have
sustained slight loss in the Dobroda, but after
summing up nearly two pages of closely printed
matter IL the New York Tribune, we cannotlearn
that the prospect of any thing decisive is any
more favorable than it was SIX months ago. and
in our opinion, those who have calculated that
the combined armies and fleets of England, France
and Turkey, would achieve easy victory over
Russia, will vet be doomed to wait for years be-
fore they hear of such result.
