GYPIt costs the corporation of New York 81, >

Our OF EMPLOYxENr.-It is estimated that al
ready q, 600 laborers are out of employment in
New York, and as it may be considerd reasonable
to count that three persons are more or less de.
pendent on them for support, that would make
100000 persons in a state of comparative suffer-
ing-that is one-sixth of the population of the
great city of New York. Such condition of
laboris almost unparalleled in her history. What
renders it more despairing is that the future looks
even darker Wisconsin.
And if we continue to send our money to Eng
land to purchase iron, &C., there will be anoth-
er 10000 out of employment. Restore a pro-
tective tariff upon some Of the important articles
that can be made here, and you will thereby fur
nish employment to manufacturers and create q
demand for labor. As long as labor is made Sec
ond to capital, the poor will DO distressed.

Az EGG AND GuAxo IsLAxD.-Bird Island, east Of
St. Thomas, and said to belong to the Dutch Gov
eminent, heretofore only visited for the largo
quantities of it, eggs, deposited by single spe-
cies of bird, has lately been found to contain
some 400, 900 tons Of guano. The egg hunters,
from the neighboring islands, go there with small
sloops and upon their arrival proceed to break all
the eggs they can find, 80 that they may on the
next visit get only fresh ones. When they return,
in the course Of thirty hours. they will sometimes
take up between one hundred and two hundred
thousand eggs. Two American vessels are already
taking cargoes from it, and they are said to have
landed fifty men to occupy the place, and to drive
of intruders, with two pieces Of cannon. FL

EXTENSIVE RoDBERIEs IN New YoRK.-Upwards

weeks. The articles taken were mostly from
Jewelry stores, one of which lost $4,000 worth

robbed of 5000. The depressed state of bu-

We had supposed that the Minnssotian had
ceased to miaepresent rs, binding that such .
eourse only injured itsslf moro than il did the
Times,) but in this We ere misaken. With its usa-
al meanness, in its issue Of yesterday morning, it
asserts Ne follows:
"But twas soon discovered that WHO At
tachment was needed to be placed on to the tail
Of the Pioneer, and so the Times was started
The Times came out under the Wisconsin Rail-
road colors and despite its assertions and aver
ments to the contrary, has steadily opposed the
Minnesota Railroad, connecting the waters of the
Mississippi and Lake Superior, and aided with
might and main the Hyatt Smith Wisconsin pro-
.ject. Charles II. Parker, banker Of St Paul,
and the main spring of the financial wheels Of the
Times, is one Of Hyatt Smiths and John B. Ma
cy's men," 8f fftr5
We propose to refute this Islander by Offering
few I" decided facts -
l. The idea Of starting the Times was conceiv-
present editor Of the Pioneer placed his foot on
the soil Of Minnesota. So much for that!
2. The Times never advocated the Wisconsin
Railroad, nor did it ever allude to it only in way
that it would allude to any other Railroad in
course of projection, and when the Minnesotian
says anything different, it says that which is false
So much for that!
3. The Times never opposed the Minnesota
Railroad, but on the contrary it was the first pa
per that published the passage of the Bill dona-
ting the lands to the territory, and rejoiced over
the result; but when it found that fraud had
been committed, it spurned brides and threats,
and threw its influence in the cause of Right, and
for this we have been stsmatized as recreant to
the interests of the territory, and by those too,
who to-day would suck her life's blood if thereby
they could line their own pockets. We have in
variably stated that were in favor of the rail-
road but not at the price of rascaity and corrup-
ton. So much then for that
4. Charles H. Parker, Esq. is gentleman well
known in this community, and needs no vindica-
ton from the base insinuation of the Minnesotan,
at our hands-he is abe and will do that him
self. In justice to Mr.. p. however, we will say
that he has nothing to do with the Times, further
than to write such financial articles as he deems
essential for the dissemination of correct informa-
ton on the subject, and which subsequently APP
pear in his own paper-the Financial Advertiser.
1t is mean and contemplate spirit that will thus
drag him before the public without provocation.
1t was not our intention to have alluded to these
misrepresentation, which are usual with the Min
| nesotian, but we have done so lest some ninny
would be fool enough to believe them.

NIGHT RUNNING UPON RALRoADs.-There is q
very general impression that night travel upon
railroads is more dangerous than in day time,
and upon first thought this seems to be the case,
but writer in the Railroad Advocate takes q
different view of the matter and certainly makes
out good case. He says there are many circum-
stances which make night running comparatively
easy. All work upon the track is stopped. No
drawbridge would be likely to remain open in the
night. Switches are more likely to be right than
at other times, as they are zot in for trains,
and are locked. The signals for night trains be-
ing made by night, would scarcely fail to be OBJ
served and obeyed, and what is important would
be seen at greater distance than any other sig
nal in day time. The engineer has less to attract
his attention than in the day time, while, after ALL
a rock or tree falling across bend in the track
in broad day light, or an intended obstruction, 10
nearly as much 'shidden danger" as if encoun-
tered in the night. There are many places in
nearly all roads where the range of view is less
than the reflection of the shead Light at night.
So, after all, it would appear that one can
take nights rest in a railroad car with compsr-
alive safety.-Detroa MSsiry. --.,
