Green Bay and Minnesota Railroad.

This important project, which is engaging
the attention and active support of those resid-
ing along the eastern sections of the contem-
plated line, as well as that of Canadian and
English capitalists, is either never preached
here, or is treated with the utmost indifference.
Governor RAMSEY, deemed the matter worthy
of favorable mention in his last annual mes
sage, Of the Goth January. 1853 but so far as
his recommendations, or at least no suitable
response has been given to the efforts of those
who are seeking to place us in direct and spec
dy communication with the great Eastern
world.
a company has been organized under a
charter granted by the Legislature of the State
OF Wisconsin. and the amount of capital stock
necessary to enable it to commence operations
actually taken, and the percentage paid. The
corporators are wei known in Wisconsin as
men Of wealth, and Of the highest official and
personal standing. We have been permitted
to peruse letter lately received by J. +. Nc.
KusIcK, Esq, of Saltwater from the President
Of this company, from which We gather the fol.
lowing facts relative to IFS present condition
and prospects:
Surveys have already been made of routes
west from Green Bay TO some distance this
side the Wisconsin river. and the country is
reported as admirably adapted to the binding
of a railroad. A competent surveyor now en-
gagged on the Grand Trunk (Canada) Railroad
is soon to take charge of the survey Of the
whole distance; and various routes will be ex.
amned, and the most feasible adopted. Inter.
est has been made with the Grand Trunk
Road, whose line is in operation from Montreal
to Portland, and through that company nego-
tiations have been opened with English capi
tailsts which, ii is confidently anticipated, will
prove successful. 4 road is now in progress.
Of construction from Georgian Bay to Toronto
which, connecting with the Grand Trunk line
furnishes almost entire railway communication
from st. Paul 10 the Atlantic coast in a direct
eastern line. The only water travel viii be
from Green Bay to Pentangushlnc. This line
will bring St Paul within ten hours of Lake
Michigan, and fifty-six hours of Toronto. TIE
President urges upon the people Of Minnesota
the necessity Of cooperation, and he is sam
gnlne that with the united efforts of capitalists
al each terminus, and with the help of com
munities along the route, the road can at once
be placed in process of constructions He re-
commends that subscriptions be taken immcdi-
ateyy, TO defray the expenses of a thorough sur
vey
We shall soon be placed more fully in poss-
ession Of the facts connected with the enter
prise, when we will again make it the subject
Of an article. Meantime we invite the atten-
ton ofour men Of capital to the project, as
one worthy their energetic support

The Two Angels.

Two angels, of Life and one Of Death
Passed Ger the village as the morning broke;
The dawn ON their faces, and beneath,
The sombre houses hearsed with plumes of smoke
Their attitude and aspect were the same,
Alike their features and their robes of white;
Aud one was crowned with amaranth, with fame
And with asphodes, like fakes of light.
saw them pause their celestial way;
Then said |, with deep fear and doubt oppressed
Beat not SO loud my heart lest thou betray
The place where thy beloved are at rest -
And he who wore the crown of asphodcls,
Descending at my door began to knock,
And ny soul sank within me, as in wells
The waters sink before an earthquakes shock.
recognized The M n,elcss agony,
The terror and the trcmor and the pain
That oft before had filed and haunted me-
And now returned with three-fold strength again
The door opened 10 my heavenly guest,
Aud iistened FOR thought heard Gods voice
And knowing Whatsoever he sent best.
Dared neither to laInent nor to rejoice
Then with smile, that filled the house with Eight
My errand is not Death, but Life. he said
And ere answered, passing out Of sight
On his celestial embassy he sped.
Twas at thy ioor, friend and not al mine
The angel with tlle arnarauthine wreath
rausing descended aud with voice divine
Whispered word that had Il sound like Death
Then fen upon the house sudden gloom,
shadow those features fair and thin
And softly from that huShcd and d,rkcned room
Two angel issued, where but went in.
All is of God If He but his hand
The mists collect the rain fall. thick and loud
Till with a smile of light on sea and land
10 he looks back from the departing cloud.
Angels Of Life and Death alike His:
Without his leave they pass no threshold Ger;
Who then. would wish dare, believing this,
Against his messengers to shut the door?
