Southern Wisconsin Road.

Our readers will recolect that the railroad pro
jected across the southern part of the state from
GAINESVILLE to Dubuque which was long ago char
tered and has been much talked about, was last
winter, by the Legislature, put into the hands o.
the Milwaukee and Mississippi company for the
purpose of ensuring and expediting its construc-
ton. That company made great promises and
great prctensions with reference to it, but the
people along the route interested, begin to sus
pect that nothing is to be done. The company
show little disposition to go ahead, and the pco-
pie are calling upon them to develop their inten-
tons. 1t seems to be a hard job to get that road
fairly under way.

The Fourth in Kenoslla.

1t is hard task to get up an old fashioned
celebration y of Independence, such as they used
to have fifteen years ago. However much we
may calculate upon it, it don't come. The Fourth
is used for a holiday by almost every one, but
they don't celebrate it as they used to- 1t may
be that we have not as much patriotism as our
fathers had in their younger days, or it may be,
friend suggests, that we have more, but that
it is distributed throughout the year so that there
need be no especial day for celebration. But that
has nothing to do with yesterdays celebration,
WHICH was very good one. The day, which
was remarkably fine, was ushered in with a ma
tona salute of thirteen guns the ringing of bells,
&c Early in the morning our friends from the
country began to come in, III goody numbers
We have never seen so large crowd in town at
once. The Military and Firemen were out in
fine style, and were the principal attractions of
the day, Judging from the numbers that followed
them up. Young America Hose Co.. from the
neatness Of the uniform of its members, and their
orderly appearance, excited peculiar attention
and elected universal admiration. The Fircmen
were reviewed by the Chief of the Fire Depart
nent, at the Park and elected the highest ADM
ration of the multitude OF citizens and strangers
In the Park, at the appointed time, the deca-
ration Of Independence was read by Rev. Mr.
GRiDLEY, an Grafton was delivered by &c. Bun
NER, Esq, of Racine, and short appropriate
speeches were made by Messrs. Denling, Fish
Mattocks, Coe, Ross. The Grafton was brief
but excellent. The ceremonies were attended
and witnessed By a large concourse of people
The usual amount Of noise aud confusion pre-
vailed in the streets, from the explosion Of fire
crackers, torpedocs, &c, for " Young America -
could not forego the opportunity of exploding
any quantity of superfuous, precoeious patriot
ism.
In the evening there was very fair display OF
fireworks, from the Park, which to most of the
crowd closed the festivities of the day. but from
the number of times we were awakened during
the night by hideous and discordant noises, we
conclude portion carried their celebration into
the night at least as far as the fifth. .a
The Ladies of the Methodist Society had a
booth erected i'll the Park, from which they sold
refreshments, and from the number of customers
we noticed, we presume they realized quite q
handsome sum. The proceeds are to be used in
repairing and decorating their Church edifce.

tcrlnincd not to forget the existence of Brother

HEALTH OF NEW Y oRK.--The ". Y. CoDtiHcr-
ciai says the public health is unusually good this
season. AS the summer advances, the mortality
dininishes instead of increasing. For the week
ending May 5, the city inspector reports 493
deaths, and the returns for the subsequent weeks
have successfully decreased until last week, end
ing June %, the number of deaths was only 322.
This seems to be the case throughout the eoun-
try We hear of no unusual, indeed scarcely
rtsHal, mortality anywhere prevailing. The Chi
cago Tribune, few days since, suggested that in
those seasons when lightning prevailed eNtcn-
sively, cholera was rare, and argued from the
character thus far of this season, that little ehol-
era was to be apprehended.~ .'8 Pa '"t.r s-

. Asa InefHniant Police

MESSRS EDIToRS:-I think your correspond
ent 81 O. Pc" who wrote under the above head
in your last number, should have used little
more discrimination in his remarks and charges.
That an individual member of the City Police
failed to discharge his duty. and may even have
countenanced the commission of the outrage, is
probable from what have learned. But have
reason to believe that the President of the Coun-
Gil, (the Mayor being absent from the City at the
time) and the Marshal were not remiss, and there
fore not culpab,e. The former reached the scene
of the trouble with as little delay as possible, on
learning the condition of affairs, and though on
hand too late to prevent the disgraceful and I'M
fortunate occurrences and results referred to, did
efficient service, assisted by Aldermen Crosit and
Stebbins, in preventing the further progress OF
the disturbance The latter exertedhis authori-
ty to the utmost during the former part of the
evening in suppressing the manifestations of a
disposition to riot which exhibited themselves
and left only when he supposed all danger of an
outbreak had been removed. His faithfulness
fearlessness, and integrity as an officer thus far
forbid the idea that he would have left the post
under any other circumstances
This article is written as a simple matter OF
Justice to some of the officers implicated. For
the same reason trust you will publish it

[REMARKs.-The above comes to us from a
respectable and responsible source. The com
muncaton we published last week, to which this
is a reply, came also from source equally res
ponsible and respectable, and we published that
as we do this, because we think responsible and
respectable men have a right to be heard on mat
ters of such general interest 1t is matter about
which there is a difference of opinion in the pub
lie mind and such articles as have been given
are not only very natural but very necessary
for those implicated as well as for the public ge
morally. For our part, we had little knowledge
on the subject and expressed no opinion with re
ference to it-simply allowing our correspondent
to say what he conceived to be necessary. I'm
der such circumstances, would any person, par
ticulary one conscious of innocence find faul
with us for our course in the premises? No sen
sible man would. Yet enc individual, whose
name we will rot mention unless it should here
after be made necessary, not only indignant,
denied himself the pleasure Of having our pape
hereafter, but is determined to spare no effort tt
induce othersto be equally foolish in consequence
of the publication in question. Further common

"Supa rior City."

The city of Superior is new city recently To-
Gated at the west end of Lake Superior, which
is beginning to attract considerable attention.
There is already paper published there from
which we extract the following:
Only one year has elapsed since the first blow
was struck towards subdueing the dense forest
which then covered the site of Superior; and those
who struggled through the trials and hardships
incident to anew and unbroken country, and laid
the foundation of this town, have the qualification
of beholding their infant enterprise assume the
life and vgor of mature growth with a rapdity
greatly exceeding their brightest anticipation.
The first sermon at Superior, i'll the English
language, was preached on Sunday, 10Th inst,
by the Rev David Brooks, Presiding Elder of
the Methodist Church for this Northwestern cir
cult. The audience was quite large and attell-
tive.
We suppose the Rev. David Brooks is the same
man who was once a citizen with us. 4 friend
informed Us a day or two since that after per-
sonal inspection Of this new city he had invested
in and around it all the means he could raise, and
he was quite sure it was an investment which
would yield rich return. Those who look at
the map win comprehend the advantages Of the

Most sincerely do we hope that our Courts
will, at an early day ordain this act to be dead
letter; and such, we are persuaded, is the wish
OF nlne-tenths of the reasonable, moral and staid
people of this State"
SO says the New York Courier and Enquirer
OF the New York Liquor Law. Suppose we
should ask that journal or any one of the many
others which agree with it, the following ques-
tons:
Does the welfare of Society need the indiscrim.
mate sale OF intoxicating iquorsl No. Yv
Isany personreally injured by prohibiting their
sale, OF by his inability to get theml No
Is not their indiscriminate sale hurtful to indi.
viduals of society and to society at Target Yes
If there was not drop of liquor in the world
to-day would not the world be vastly better off
Yes.
Nine tenths of the reasonable, moral, and staid
people OF any State would answer these questions
as we have, aud so would this journal, if it gave
a conscientious reply; and yet we have such ar
teles as we have quoted going the rounds of the
papers. The spirit of conservatism is so deeply
rooted in some people, that if it were possible tc
obAterate the itch by law, and proposition were
made to do it, they would stand by the institu
ton to the last because their fathers and grand
fathers scratched before them.
