The Press remarks:
What a practical illustration the above facts
afford to the wo iderful, tho scarcely credible pro
gress Of the west-what an index 1t furnishes to,
the fertility of her soil and to the industry and
enterprise Of our people--what a prophesy of the
destiny that awaits her when every foot Of her
long streaches Of prairie, and her rich valleys shall
have been reduced to a thoroughly scientific til
lage! How long, ut this rate, will it be before the
centre Of population and Of wealth will have ar
rived at the meridian line of our city, and Chicago
will have indicated her right to be recognized as
the great commercial metropolis Of the United
States. We verify believe such u destiny awaits
her.-Ledder.

ter a hearing before Alderman Beebc, they were

On examining the persons of the men arrested
passports emitting them to travel through the
United States were found concealed in their under
clothing. They were thoroughly questioned, by
the assistance Of an Interpreter, rs to the manner
of their leaving the old country and declared that
they had not been prisoners in Belgium, but paid
their own passage money.
Finding, however, that their statements were not
believed, one Of the party confessed the whole aE-
fair, d~iyulging the particulars Of the system re-
gently adopted by the Rclgian government. Pris-

ment for n Territory not yet ten years old.
