After hard days ride, {for it as hard
thing to ride whole day in the dust and
turmoil of y steam-train,) ] brought up nj
my accustomed quarters at the fremont
House, and feel at peace again, as if ! were
at home for can say of the fremont, eth
er il is so accommodasingly kept or l have
been here so often, that it seems always like
home 10 me here. There is only one thing
about the fremont that ever troubled me,
and that is, that whenever leave after hay
/ ing spent few days here, my pocket-book
always looks as if an elephant had trod on
it.
| But saw SLOTS and lots" of hogs yester-
day don't mean that class that you al
ways find abundant specimens OF even IN
''Grst class train" hogs with hats and boots,
that yet never fail to display their propensl-
ties at every opportunity they have to feed at
the eating houses along the road, when even
retiring man wants something to eat, but
had rather go without than make swine of
himself, like too many others; but l mean
the regular four-footed gruntcrs that the
Lord of Israel forbid the chosen people to
eat Of. and which it doesn't seem to me that
even a Gentle stomach ought to be burdened
with. In the first lot that saw there were
thirty-6ve carloads towed along by one To-
comotiye. In all, the conductor told me
there were over one hundred carloads Of
hog. upon the track Yesterday. They are
coming on pretty briskly, and are gathering
from every quarter to which the railroad
arms of this city reach. Southern Wiscon-
sin and Northern Illinois have marketed
great share of their pork crop already, send
ing away live this year, instead of killing In
later weather and taking to market dressed,
as they used to do.
This western Gotham is driving ahead like
mad, but it does not seem as if as much WIS
doing this year in the way Of improvement
as have noticed in some former years
Still, they say there is, and it is very likely,
for the city is so large now that far great
er amount of improvement would be less
discernible.
Among the items of news aHoat, Is the b.
nally ascertained result of the gubernstorial
election in Wisconsin. Ny old friend land
an esteemed friend he was too) Coles Bash
ford, is finally conceded to be elected. The
returns are all in, and the thing is settled
And he will make good Governor for our
sister State, too. Public affairs have been
scandalously managed for the last two years
in Wisconsin, and while peculat.on and co.
vert fraud were feathering the nests of the
faithful, taxes were piling up steep and
strong enough 10 brighten man. 1t needed
revolution TO save the State from embar-
rassment. and it needed man Of nerve to
follow the old Governor and cohorts. But
Bashford has backbone enough for any
emergency, and displays himself best when
EN- Urgency is greatest. Besides he is sound
on the great questions of the day,-a tenn
perate, but decided and unfinching Free Soil
Wing. And as such he has been fairly elect
ed on a straight poll. That is pleasure
enough to compensate for the cost OF the
campaign. A State almost always good for
eight to ten thousand Democratic majority
has elected Republican Governor, under
almost insurmountable obstacles in the way
Of Locofoco management and demagoguery.
Wisconsin will be all right next year with
rousing majority, so sure as 1856 comes.
go up to Wisconsin tomorrow, and hope to
be able to be at Madison on the occasion of
inducing the new Governor into Office.
The Kansas troubles, too, are just now the
topic of interested remark and there is strong
feeling hereabouts that the Free State men
have endured enough, have endured too much,
already, and that they are right in opposing
| force to force, in defending the rights and
| liberties of the soil they live on, in organiz
ing and equippng and bringing into active
use legion of free men for defence against
the organiz ed efforts among the citizens Of
Western Missouri to hold Kansas in subjec.
ton by force at all hazards.
am not altogether in humor TO amuse oil
instruct any one to-day, and will say nc
more till feel the promptings OF little more
spirit, or the suggestions of more quie
train.
