UNPARALLELED FIsCAToRY ExPLo1r.-A
correspondent Of the Charleston Standard,
furnishes that paper with the following extra
ordinary fish story
a gentleman Of this city. in company with
a friend, some time ago. while in Florida de-
termned upon IA fishing excursion. 4 large
eight cared boat was procured, and two stont
able-b bodied negroes to row Z. They took with
then, cast net. and proceeded a short distance
from the shore where they soon found them
selves in a school Of mn'lets. The net was
thrown, b1t it enclosed such prodigiou5 mul-
titude of fish, that to draw it in was found to be
utterly impracticable. In the meantime, me
fish began 10 jump into the boat. when it he
came so full as to be in danger Of sinking -
The net was eut loose, and they began to phil
for the shore, but soon found themselves unable
to propel the boat through the fsh until after
considerable exertion and delay, they finally
reached the shore just in time to prevent her
sinking, the gunwaes were down TO the surface
Of the water. After drawing her on the beach
they proceeded to unload their cargo, which
consisted Of eight cart !oads Of 6sh, from the
heads Of which they had 6sh stew for two
months What think you of that for a fish
story, every word Of which IS literally true

Negotiations for C~ba.-The same cor
respondent writes 1t is said that Mr..
Soule, believing the O'Donnell party in
Spain moro opposed to the cesson Of Gu
ba. or to a reasonable settlement Of the
Black Warrior difficulty, .han the Queen,
has been pressing upon the latter all the
influence which he could bring 10 bear to
fleet an immediate cesson Of the Island
for money consideration. The question
of ahlic ,tion has been under serious con-
sideration, not only before but since the
breaking out of he O'Donneh revolution {;
and it is sad that Mr. <.loue had strong
hopes at one time tha; the Queen, IN an
ticip1;ion of this eyen;. would accept the
large sum which the United States Gov.
eminent has authorized MIN to offer. so as
TO place q sufficient sum in her private
purse 10 meet future emergencies. Hopes
are still entertained that the Government,

country, and the depressed state Of its
FRANCES, will change It's views on the suo~
iect, and accept the terms offered.

MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1854


We hear encouraging reports of the progress
Of the work on this road. between this city and
Warren. The laying down of the track is going
ahead rapidly; and within twenty or thirty
days the cars will run UP to Scales Mound,
and from there into Galena in the latter part of
September. The entire force is Withdrawn be-
tween here and Dunleith even on the deep
rocky cut near the bridge across Galena river,
there are no men at work. We understand
that there is in the officers of the Company a
determination to complete the road as far as
| this point. where it makes o most important
connection with the Mississippi in time to Sc
cure the Fall-trade. now sought for by the
Rock Island road. Better late than never
Galena Jefersonian.
| We sincerely hope the above information
may prove true We have advices from other
sources which lead us to suppose the Je1erso-
mans confidence in the present intention of
the Central Company to complete the road into
Galena within the time named, will not he mis-
placed.
1t would prove serious drawback to the
business of the entire country above Galcna.
should the fall supplies of goods from the East
he subjected to like delay and loss in their
transmission that has attended the receipt of
Rock Island route. During the season of nav
igatiOn, our up country business men have had
a partial remedy; as while the boats were run
ming. there was no great danger that they
would not receive their goods some time in the
course of the navigablc season. But had these
vexatous delays attended the forwarding of
the fall and winter supplies instead, the ice
would have closed upon the heavy stocks Of
our merchants in the depot and warehouses
at Rock Island, and there they would have re-
manned until long after the remittances cX-
pcctcd to be realized from their sale in this
market were due to the Eastern jobber.
A better state of things, We trust, is about to
attend Minnesota's fall transactions with the
East. If the Illinois Central Railroad Comma.
ny wishes to do immensely paying business
upon this upper end of their road yet before
the close of navigation, and at the same time
make demonstration that will save thousands
of dollars to the people above Galena, they
will send their trains into Galcna at the time
mentioned by the Jclrcrsonan. If they can
accomplish the end a few weeks earlier than the
last of September, so much the better for them
selves and all of us up this way. After they
reach with their iron horses the nayigable
waters of the Mississippi, Of course our mcr-
chants will give them every pound of their
freight, and thus save charges and delay over
the hundred miles of uncertain river navigation
between Rock Island and Galena These char
ges upon our fall supplies would amount to no
small item-all coming, in the end, out of the
pocket of the consumer. All in ALL the Cen
trail Company has now very fine opportunity
to do " the handsome thing" toward the people
OF Minnesota and all the country above Gale
ma, and at the same time make money by the
operation. They can if they will.

SONG, song, for the prairie wide,
Through whose broad waste we swiftly ride,
A song for It's plains in spring bec:ght
with wa. ing grass and flowers bright;
For its isIets green with the shady oak
That never hath known the woodman's strnkes
For its boundless plains and free clear air,
And its beautiful herds Of tlmid deerl
In the early spring the prairie free,
with its blooming Howers so fair to SEQ,
Its wide expanse Of level plain,
Extending far, like the trackless main,
with here and there to relieve the eye.
A glimpse of woodland scenery,
Is sight the fairest that Ger was seen
But when autunn's wiuds blow Ger the earth,
With the cutting sleet and dssbins rain,
And the snow that closures the wanderers path,
O, then he signs for his own warm hearth
Fur evil, alas, the wight betide
Who loses his way In the prairie wide:
Yet autumn's winds in the twilight grey,
That follows brief and dreary day,
We oft have me: in the prairie waste,
Though pushing our steeds to their swiftest pace,
And we hear no sound As We swiftly pass,
But the wind 1t signs through the long Wild grass
Or the rapid flight of the timid deer,
As he lightly darts from the footstep near,
Or the distant ravens discoriant croak,
As he sits on the limbs Of the old gnarled oaks
Which spreading its boughs in the waste above,
Looks grimy and wild the sun goes down,
Willie the grizzly bear Its shade beneath,
With his angry growl and his crashing teeth,
Looketli around with q sullcn pride
On tho trackess waste Of the prairie wide;
Then sweet to the weary wanderers ear
Will the cow-bcll's tnkling note appear,
Or tho distant bark of the watchfu hound,
A cheering note and household sound,
And the light that CLEANS through the cabin walls,
Is blight As the ray from the rich mans halls.

The LAST "SwINDI.E. The Times of Monday

General Land Office, who. it appears. has been
withholding from sale, without authority, for
the benefit of the Wall street Railroad Comma
ny, one million seven hundred and niuety-sey-
en- thousand acres of land, part OF which lies in
Wisconsin.
How much ola "swindle" Mr.. Wilson was
guilty of in the premises, he has abundantly
shown himself, under his own sign manual
But it appears he labors under the additional
sin, in the eyes Of the Times, of being the
"Whig Commissioner of the General Land Of
fice." This question is no wise a party qucs-
ton; but We had hoped the fact that Mr.. Will
son is Wing, would not have been tauntingly
thrown In his face as additional evidence, in its
opinion, of bis unworthiness, by the rampant
new Whig "organ" of st. Paul.
