THAT RIUEE.

The Times thinks 900 would put the city in
possession of ''that bluff" How absurd! Why,
ne:ghbor, we are informed resident of this city
refused $4,000 for his portion of the bluff, a
short time ago, and he is not one of the heaviest
owners either.-DcmOcrdf.
We predcated our figures on the belief that
gentlemen who owned the Bluff would dispose
Of the same to the city for small advance
from what it cost them. If. however, they are
determined to get $4,000 for that which two
or three years ago, cost them only 5000. why
it is all useless for the city with or without the
aid of the citizens, TO talk of buying the prop
erty under discussion. The owners have a
perfect right to ask what they please, and in
discussing this matter we do not wish to be
understood as debating to them. We appeal
to them as men of enterprise and iberality
who we believe have the interests of the
Territory at heart. If they refuse to sell, un-
less they can get an exorbitant price-very
well, that ends the question.

The steamer Africa arrived at Halifax on the

again at Vienna, to arrange the third point. No
reply had been made by the English and French
Ambassadors. From the tone of Austria's re-

At present there are 100000 French, 10000
English, 10000 Turks, and 10000 Sardinians in
the Crimea, making active preparations for a
battle. A severe combat took place on the 10th
of May at night which resulted in considerable
loss on both sides. The Russians retired under
cover of their guns. Attacks were made by the
Russians from the 1lth up to the 22d, but they
were repulsed by the allied troops. Several pri-
zes had been taken by the English cruisers in the
Baltic. Nearly all the ships of war at Cronstadt
had been ordered to be sunk by the order of the
Russian Government. The mortality in the Aus.

"a thing Of Beauty is a Joy forever,
WESTW WARD IgO

For two weeks past, more than thirty emf
grant teams have crossed the Mississippi daily
here at La Crosse. Cattle flock over by hun.
dreds, all bound for Minnesota. And the crowd
accumulates. Teams have to lay over day
waiting their turn. a dozen or more gather
upon the bank near the landing, the balance
lay back in the bushes, and taking camp quiet
Oh the ground. The average complement of a
"wagon load" seems to be man, wife, and five
or six tow-hcads, not counting the dogs OF
chickens.
We clip the above from the La Crosse Dem
ocrat, and by the way, the Democrat should
not get excited over the immense immigration
which is pouring into our Territory. No doub,

Pres EYE BAR-It will doubtless be re-
membered by our readers, that last Fall, when
the water was low in the river, and much diff
Guilty was experienced by the boats at Pigs
Eye Bar, we took the ground that it was useless
to throw up dam there as was advocated by
one Of our cotemporaries, for the simple reason
that the sand from above would wash down be-
low and create another lar, and so on for miles,
What is the result? This year, when the water
is much lower than it was last, the boats have
no difficulty at Pigs Eye Bar, but find it al
most impossible to get over Beef Slough Bar,
which is some distance below the one which
created so much difficulty last year. We were
laughed at for the position we assumed then, just
as we are ridiculed now for the position we as
sumo on the Bluff question; but we think some
of our readers will liveto see the day when
they will acknowledge that our views on these
questions were correct. ..
