The Chances for Trade-Iu.proye-
HsRenf Necessarys

The Handoc took from our landing on
Tuesday hast, the first LOT Of wheat wor-
thy of note) ever shipped from Potosi--
amounting to about $500 bushels. I'm
less another new warehouse be erected
here this summer, there will not be room
for the storage Of half the amount of that
article that may be bought for shipment
from this point next spring. There will
be an enormous quantity of grain the CO..
ming fall that should by all means be-
bought up by Potosi merchants, ii they
neglect TO provide for lis storage, then
ot course they will not buy it, thereby
losing thousands Of dollars of Trade
we say look ahead; don't let rival riv-
er points, or back country merchants dc
the business that belongs TO you; now
that you have favorable start keep it,
Our county is rich in agricultural and
mineral lands; their products seek
market or an outlet TO one; Potosi can
have it nearly all if she wills it. Tose.
cure this something must be done. The
fact is, most of the buildings in which
our business is done are unfit for tho
use for which they are put; cur roads
are generally Of the toughest character
therefore improvements are necessa-
ry. There is ne reasonable excuse for
not erecting commodious and substantial
buildings it is poor one to think that
the influence of railroad terminus or
depot is going to render worthless the
property CT a village two miles distant,
or that It wiz remove IFS entire trade
Far from it. A wholesale business NAV
be done there Eve instance La Fayettel
while our citizens can keep their private
residences at the upper end of town
nor can there, for some time, be but a.
small retail business removed from
where it is now transacted. Go-ahead,
then; pull down old buildings and
put up new. 1t is a DISGRACE to the
county the way improvements of the
town have been neglected here for the
past five years. We must to the work
at once, if We ever expect Pot osi to be
a place of more note than it now is.

awe are mixed Protestant, infdel
and Catholic people. The non Catho-
lie element, however, predominates
and owing to our vast extent Of cheap
and fertile lands, we are free from
many of the material evils of older
countries. But in real Oell-being, IN th'
refnensents Of IJs,in the culture of the soul
in higher civilization, or IN true national
and individual virtue and happiness, WE
ARE FAR BELOW THE LOWEST CATHOLIC
STATE. We can boast only of our indus
try. Our literature is not worth nam
ing; our newspapers, for the most part
are public nuisance ; our common
schools amount to little, and cannot b.
named NTH those of Aushia; we nav
not a respectable library or university
in the country; and the liberty we
boast of is merely the liberty Of the mot

perhaps, no people on earth that ha:

We are slaves Of committees, associa

formed by ignorant, and fanactical

and demogogues. A man can be a free
man here, and speakand act as a trus
man, conscious of hisindividuality, only
at the expense of becoming Pariah-

| BY an Extra Of the Baraboo Standard
we learn that the women of that town
have taken the matter of regulating the
Liquor traffic int their own hands. II
seems that great Indignation had been
kindled against The liquor dealers, for
being too free with their vile stuff to GER
tam men in the town, who were unable
to resist the temptation % drink when
ever they could procure liquor. The la
dies determined to put stop TO further
proceedings of the kind, and last Tues
day morning procession Of some fifty
females was seen sallying forth for the
work of destruction.
They made their first descent upon
1.-THE Wisconsin House, and in double
quick time barrels of whisky, beer, bran
dy, SIC. were being rolled tue and their
contents wasted upon the unappreciating
earth, amid the shouts and hurrahs Of
the crowds of citizens who had collect
ed to witness the performance. They
next proceeded to saloon near by and
l"cleaned that OUT in similar manner.
Going thence, they next laid seige to an
other saloon, the doors of which they
found fastened, and the owners wife in
side informed them that if they got in
they would have to fight for ii. While
they were consulting upon the piazza as
to the proper mode Of attack the muzzle
of gun was suddenly thrust through
pane of glass to the utter route and dis
comfture of the assailants, who scatter
ed in all directions. Some men who
were standing by interfered upon this
and urged them to break into the saloon.
This Immediately aroused opposition in
other bystanders who favored the grog-
geries, and general rush was made for
the door-some to break it in and 9TH
ers to defend it. The Standard says that
for few minutes it was feared that
"blood would be poured out instead of
whiskey." At this juncture the Sher-
if appeared and read the riot act, and
the excitement was quoted. The ladies
We're assured that their grievances sho'd

lived in fear of having their buildings
burned. She was told by the court, that
he should take care she wouldn't treu-

be the last of me in Milwaukee, it'll be
a saving to the State, dropping her
voice) do you mind that" Court. "But
Mrs. Ry an, you get drunk, and make
these threats, putting the neighborhood
in fear" Deft. "Well what do they
give me liquor for! If they didn't give
it to me shouldn't get drunk. Oh if
could only get to place where they
wouldn't give me liquor could support

the defendant, who remarked as she left
the court, ''it's better for me than to be

has been consumated Threats and prom
ises, unblushing bribery and corruption,

power, have again triumphed and the
North is again betrayed. To be sure,
the bill, being shorn Of the Clayton Cor

Senate, and several Senators may there
fore refuse their concurrence but it
will doubtless pass. Slavery has again
won victory over Freedon-has added
another wreath to its crown of laurels
for triumphs gained by the miserable
trucking of demagogues who are sup
posed to represent the interests of the
Free States, and Of free People, in
Congress. If there is spark of man
hood left in the breasts of the Northern
people, this is the last victory which the
Slave Power will win. AL through the
