e From the Upper Country.

We received call yesterday, from the
Rev. w. D. HALEY. Of Alton, Illinois, who
has just returned from an extensive tour
among the Chippewas. He speaks in high
terms of the character of the lands obtain.
ed from the Chippewas by the late treaty,
and predicts the rapid settlement of that
most interesting region, when its value is
made known to the public. He found
many indications Of minerals. especially iron.
Steamboat navigation from the Pokegemon
Falls to Little Bay, via Leech Lake and
the Lake Winnepeg is perfectly feasible
He has also made discoveries of ancient
Notifications near Winnebagoshish and
has succeeded in obtaining much valuable
literary and scientific information.

by the President, will be signed by every
one The grave and palpable wrong the
proposed measure would inAict upon the
hardy pioneers, poor and toiling to secure a
home as actual settlers, and the fearful pow
er given by it to capitalists and spectators,
helped on by the immense issue OF Land
Warrants now going on, makes the ques-
one above the reach Of party or sectional
differences. The voice of the,whole North
West should be raised at once, and with all
its strength against it. Its execution would
bring ruin to thousands whose little all is

The United States Attorney General has
decided that under the laws of the United
States, aliens are entitled to puinhase the
public lands, subject only, as to their tenure
to such limitations as particular States may
enact, with this exception only, that pre-
emptions ore secured to aliens who have de.
clared their intention to become naturalzed

native.born or naturalized- and none other
The same distinction is maintained in the
graduation, with the further condition that
the limited quantity of land purchasable by
any person at the reduced prices can be
purchased only for personal use and for &C
tual settlement and cultivation.

The RELIGION OF PAYING DEBTs.-One
Of our religious exchanges has the following
just remarks on this subject :--"Men may
sophisticate as they please. They can new
er make it right, and all bankrupt laws in
the universe cannot make it right for them
not to pay their debts. There is sin in
this neglect as clear and as deserving church
discipline as in stealing or false swearing.
He who violates his promise to pay, or
withholds the payment of debt when it is
in his power to meet the engagement, ought
to be made to feel that in the eyes Of all
honest men he is a swindler. Religion may
be very comfortable cloak under which to
to hide, but if religion does not make man
deal justly, it is not worth having"

Sheriff, she dressed herself in all her best
and with her face wreathed with smiles
and locking quite blooming happy, set on,
upon her journey to her prison home. Her
conversation was very lively, but wandering,
and the opinion grows strong and general
that she is insane.

has been expended in preparations for gold

p~A medical writer says that the fail
ure of appetite in the summer, is apt to be
considered as an evil, to be doctored and
removed; while it is only sign of mischief
itself. Instead, therefore, Of resorting to
stimulating condiments or medicines to
force an appetite, one should live abstemi-
ously for few days, and as the system
works off the causes of disease a natural
appetite will come back. In those rare
cases in which a failure Of appetite de-
ponds on absolute deficiency of food, re-
turn to more generous diet presents the only
hope of relief.

THE LATEST.NEWS,
DETAILS OF THE LOUISVILLE RIOT.

- - Louisville, Aug. :.
While the election was passing off quietly
yesterday at 9 4. NJ, in the first ward, William
Beerge, an American, was assaulted at some
distance from the polls and beaten till suppos-
ed to be dead, by party of Irishmen. The
assaulters were arrested and lodged in jail. In
the afternoon three Americans were fred on
while passing German Brewery.
A gentleman riding with his wife in a
carriage was fired on, while at the same time
several squares below, shower of shot and
bullets were rained from the windows of the
German houses. Many were wounded. Fo-
reigners were seen in the whole vicinity arm
ed indscriminately.
The firing drew an immense crowd of infur-
lated Americans who we've fired on from the
windows, when they Immediately burned the
brewery al d sacked several houses.
The most serious affair, however, occurred
in the 9th ward, at P. NJ. Three Americans
passing on Main Street were fred on by ten
Irish. Some fifteen shots were fired, and one
American named Rhodes killed. Both of the
others were wounded. The Irish took refuge
in house on the corner of Chapel and Market
streets. whence several shots were free, wound.
ing several Americans, and killing two, named
Graham and Hobson. The firing from the
house continued for half au hour, until the
Americans procured arms and reinforcements,
and broke open the house. They captured the
murderer of Graham and hung him. A po-
liceman cut him down while hanging, and he
was afterwards shot. He died this morning.
Meanwhile the "Fusilade Rifles" fred guns
from row of Irish houses on the corner OF
Eleventh and Main streets on all passing Anne.
ricans, several of whom were wounded. A
crowd of Americans assembled, and failing to
dislodge them fired the houses and sent for re
Inducements. They soon arrived with muskets
and cannon. Several of the Irish were shot in
the burning building. No attempts were made
to put out the fire. Two or three blocks were
burned.
On leaving the Eigth Ward, the mob, now
infuriated, marched to the Times Office, which
was only saved by speeches from Prentice aud
other Americans. This morning there were
rumors of more disturbance, and large crowds
collected about IL o'clock. The mob started
to the Levee and attacked row of Irish
houses-and it is reported several shots were
fired.
Every effort is now being made to restore
peace.
