Manitowoc and Mississippi Railroad Company.
We have received the Report Of the Directors
of this Company, by which we learn that the
Company was Incorporated by the Legislature Of
Wisconsin, on the 18th day Of March, 1851, and
was authorized to construct &C. double track
Railway from Manitowoc, on Lake Michigan, to a
point on the Mississippi River, in the village of
La Crosse. By an act passed March, 1854, the
Company were authorised to construct branch
Railroad, with single or double track, between
the State Of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and with
the consent of the Legislature of the Territory
of Minnesota, to continue such branch to St.
Paul.-The following route, laid down by the Di-
rectors, is deserving attention:
ROUTE. <tt' "
The Manitowoc and Mississippi Railroad will
have its eastern terminus on Lake Michigan, at
the village of Manitowoc, eighty miles north of
Milwaukee and one hundred and seventy miles
north of Chicago, from thence it will extend west
to the Mississippi river, at La Crosse, distant
about one hundred and eighty miles, with north
ern branch extending over two hundred miles
from point on the main line near the Wolf Riv-
er, to or near st. Paul, Minnesota. The line to
st. Paul will be considered the main and more
important this line crosses many large streams
with either of which the Road win find valua-
BILE connection and important tributary, and the
route can be divided into the following sections,

LIEUT.. HUNTER DIsMIssED.-Lieut. Hunter, of
the Navy, has been dismissed from the service by
the President, for an act of insubordination.
While in command of the Brainbridge, at Monte
video, he wished, as he states, to protect the
Americans at Assumption, and Commodore Nc
Kccver, Commander of the Squadron in those
waters not permitting him to sail to this point, he
tackled sheet, and started for home. The N. Y.
Tribune thinks he is insane. The Secretary of
the Navy has ordered court marshal to convene
Immediately.

CV MIR. Wentworth, of Massachusetts, in b.

few days ago, bill for the better protection of
this country from paupers from abroad. 1t pro-
poses to make it the duty of American consuls
abroad to examine all persons who wish to em-
crate, and the transhpment of any person, without
consul's certifcate-that he has not been for five
years afflicted with unacy, that he is not a pau
per or convict, and that he comes of his own ac-
cord, and not sent by the corporation-is made
punishable by fine and Imprisonment.

which present rather a gloomy picture of the

HONOR TO TRUE MEN!

IL ever men deserved the warm thanks of
the people of this Territory, it is those who, dur
ing the present session of our Legislature, have
stood firm in the cause of RIGHT. No matter
what influences were brought to bcar--no matter
the sneers, the gibes and the anathemas hurled
against them-no matter if those who pledged
themselves to go with them, turned traitors, and
then sold he best interests of our territory for
less than ''thirty pieces of slver'-still amid all
these trials and temptations-amid the sneaking,
snake-like cunning of the majority, the '' immor-
tai eight" Of the House of Representatives have
moved not have stood at their posts have guard
ed the nsidIous inroads of the enemy, and
have defended the rights and the interests
of the people! Borne down by the sea of
corruption which almost overwhelmed them, they
buifetcd the waves, and beat back the minions of
bribery, exclaiming, avaunt foul fends Of hell;
return to thy foul dens from whence thou comest!
They have braved even public opinion, manufac-
tured by Wall street gold, but unscathed they
have passed the fiery ordeal, and like good old
Roman soldiers, stand ready for another conflict
In these times it is matter of rejoicing that
such men live and have their be:ng-no matter to
what school of politics they belong, or how earn
cstly they may advocate the doctrines of Democ-
racy. San honest man is the noblest work Of
God" whether denizcn Of the crowded CITY, or
a pioneer in the wilds of Minnesota whether a
follower of Jackson, or a worshper of CLAY
and whenever or wherever found, is deserving the
homage of the people. Such men we believe to
be Messrs. DAVIS, CAVE, HAUs, BRAwLEY, An
DRos, BEATTY, NORRIS and SIDLEY, of the House
of Representatives of the Legislature of the Ter
rtory of Minnesota, and Mcssrs. OLMsrEAD, VAN
ETTEN and krTsoN, Of the Council. Whatever
may be their future acts, thing is certain, in
the present struggle for Right, they have won
for themselves names imperishablc as time.
When the excitement of this railroad subject
shall have passed away, anl when the people shall
have taken Z" their second sober thought" then
will due honor be rendered to those who proved
true to their constituents and true to the best in
tcrcsts of our Territory.

FKozEN.-Saturday Jan. 26, was the coldest
day we have had this winter. The mercury was
25 deg. below zero, in the morning and did not
rise more than Is deg. through the day. We are
informed that man was lost on some Of the large
prairies in the vicinity of Cannon River, through
the whole Of that day, and was without food or
Paul, so badly frozen that both HE logs were am
pututed nearly up to the body. The wonder is
that he lived through such an exposure, nor will
it be less o wonder if he survives so dreadful q
surgery.-Ofin. Rep. . ~,s- o,.......-.- o.

ANOTHER ssINFERSAL MACHINE" CASE At CIxcrN-
SArI.-A dabolcal attempt was made on Monday
evening, Jan. %, to destroy the family of Mr.. Cy
rus Swisshelm, at Cincinnati, the particulars of
which The Enquirer gives: On the evening in
question Mr.. Swisshelm and family, consisting of
five persons, were seated around the fire, when a
huge ball decended the chimney, and bouncing
into the fire, rolled in bright blaze into the mid
die of the floor. 1t was made of cotton, saturated
with turpentine, and during its brief contact with
ing the burning ball in his hand instantly immers-
ed it in the water and extinguished it. Upon open
ing the ball it was found to be filed with gunpow
der and slugs, and fortunate indeed was it for Mr..
Swisshelm and his family that the water was near,
as otherwise he says he should have hurled it into
the FIRE, in which case, in all probability, it would
have been our painful province to have recorded
another event as horrible in its details as that
which transpircd at the Marine Hospital.

The LkclsLAruRE.-As usual, we find nothing new
or interesting which has been transacted by this
body. On Monday, in the House, an Intellectual
attempt was made to take up the Gov. Veto Mes
sage. 1t was finally moved and carried, that the
Bill and the Veto be laid upon the table. 10 to Z.
Bill was introduced by Mr.. Le-May to incOr-
porate the Minnesota Typographical Union. AL
so Bill to incorporate the Territorial Immigra-
ton Society. Read first and second times.
Miss Helen NJ. Pratt asked leave to withdraw
her Bill for divorce; leave granted and petit
ton was presented by Mr.. J. Q. A. Ward, pray
ing for divorce from his wife. Helen NJ. Ward
which was referred to the Committee on the Judi
ciary.
The Bill to define the County lines, was con-
