western Wisconsin.

One of the editors of this paper has just
made a somewhat extended tour In South
western Wisconsin, and he returns complete
ly enraptured with the country. In min
eral resources, agricultural capability, in
health and and in external beauty it is not
surpassed by any part of the West. Taking
that large trace lying between the State
line and the Wisconsin River, bounded by
the Mississippi on the West, and line in
the longitude of Monroe on the East, the
settler will find more to make residence
desirable therein than in almost any other
part of the Northern States. The country
is flling up with considerable rapidity and
with an excellent class Of emigrants; the
attention Of the people is turned more and
more to agriculture, though mining is not
neglected; thrifty towns are springing up,
and old ones are improving; schools and
churches are every where organized and
going on prosperously; the general health
is admirable; and the evidences Of prosper
ity are universally flatterilg. Grant county
is especially designated aa Offering induce
ments to the industrious farmer, rarely found
in any other locality.
1t is strange that emigrants will not see
the advantages of good roads, bridges,
churches, schools, well administered laws,
a quiet, orderly and well-to-do commune
tyi and pitch their tents this side of the
Mississippi, rather than to build up settle
ments where everything is to be brought
out of raw material, and where half q life
time must elapse before living can Begin
The difference in the price Of the first crop
of 40 acres of wheat in Grant county, Wis,
and the same in Chickasaw county Iowa,
would much more than equal the difference
of the price Of farm in the two localities;
but men either will not or cannot take
note of what must be so obvious; and of
course they pay the penalty Galena
Jefersonian.

We extract the following most truthful
article from the American Jubilee, new
and excellent periodical, by William Good
ell:
PopULAR1rY--INFLUENcE.-Popular
men are seldom men of influence.
Popularity is acquired and preser-
we'd by swimming with the current
Of prevailing sentiment, q process by which
the popular man is influenced by others,
instead of influencing them. The man of
marked, extensive, and permanent inhu-
ence is the man of innovation and of agi-
tation, who contends with prevailing sen
timents and in time produce marked chan
ges, such men seldom become popular.---
Popular orators, popular preachers, popu-
lar statesmen, very seldom produce any
great changes. When such a one, after a
long life of popularity, passes off the stage,
no one can put his finger upon any great
work of public utility he has ever accom-
plished 1t would be easy to mention re-
cent instances of this kind. On the othc,
hand, when marked changes in public SEN
timent or in social conversation, are TO be
witnessed and accounted for, the faith.
full historian who looks beyond the
surface, will be compelled to trace them to
individuals, who We're never popular in their
own times, however much they may be O.
serrated afterwards.

18th and 10Th OF March last. She went ashore off
Long Beach al o'clock on last Sunday morning
aud her passengers and crew, 200 in number, were
all lost Thirty three bodies had been picked up
on Long Beach. Not vcstige of the wreck was
left The Powhauan was of 600 tons burthen about
- years of age and worth SIS 600
The schooner Manhattan, of Bangor, Maine. was
also wrecked on Long Beach on Sunday morning,
and all on board persisted except one OF the crew,
who in such condition to be unable to give any
particulars.
Possibly the schooner Manhattan above alluded
10 may have been confounied with the ship of the
same name, which was reported ashore, but has
since arrived at New York.
The n. Y. Journal of Commerce of Wednesday
evening says:
PAINFUL RUMoR.-Its currently rumored in the
street. that the ship before reported ashore oD Long
Beach. Nj, and supposed to have gone to pieces,
is the Hamburg ship Humboldt Pauisen master,
which sailed from Cuxhaven, March 7th for this
port, with migrants, and that all on board have
persisted.
The Alexandria Gazette, of yesterday, has the
following dispatch confirming the above:
The ship Humboldt, from Hamburg, is ashore on
Long Beach. Several hundred emigrants are sup
posed have been drowned as fifty dead bodies have
already washed ashore.
1t will be perceived that these statements are
contradictory az to the name of the vessel 1t is
probable, however, that both the Powhattan and
Humboldt are lost, as the localities mentioned
(Absecom Beach and Long Beach, are some dis
lance apart.
