There are also men from the North who are in

the foreigners to take bold stand in favor of the
project. They are busy in the work of drilling
them for the contest, and already boast of having
ten thousand voters.
The struggle for division will soon commence
and although natives of the State wouldylikc to see

whether they move or 1.-THE foreigners will move

natives of the State delay action on this subject
the worst it wl'be for them for their opponents arc

overwhelm them sooner or later, unless our present
patent process Of naturalization is speedily ar

A Petrifed Iadian.-While engaged in exca-

Crosse railroad, near Schlesengervle, Iowa,
the workmen came upon the petrified RENAME
of an Indian, and with the remains of SONS
singular relics of olden times. The body was
perfect, not having suffered by decay. His
height, at the present day would be considered
gigantic-measuring seven feet two inches
On his breast wasa pkts'of copper, on which
were engraved bumeross hieroglyphics, the
meaning of which can hardly be imagined. But
there they gre a record of the past. Could
these hierosIyphics, be read, they might, per-
haps unve some Of the mystery which hangs
like dark cloud over,the history of the red
man. An arrow Of considerable stength and
curious construction was also found with him
and especially invites the attention of antiqua-
