First Bali of the Season.

Our friend Mr.. Marcus SHAW, lately
finished his fine large two-story stone
building, and it was resolved by all hands
to have a little dance before it received its
occupants. Arrangements were accord
ingly made with the proprietor of the
Benton House, to serve a supper, and on
Thursday evening last, the sturdy sons of
toll, and the fair daughters of Eve, joined
in the merry dance. All enjoyed them
selves, and at eleven o'clock sat down to
an excellent repast, served up on correct
principles" and commenced an onslaught,
on the oysters, v%enison, chickens, peaches,
plums, cakes. apples, &C., &C., that fore
told, If continued long, the production of a
small famine. The party afterwards
continued the dancing until the small hours,
when they ali retired to their homes,
highly pleased with everybody, and them
selves in particular.

IRON IN

The principal objection urged in oppo-
sition to the future prosperity of the Up
per Missouri country, has been the scar
CITY of IRoN and Coal. Recent discov-
cries prove that there is an abundant sup
ply of both articles. At the mouth of
Bow river, fifty miles west of Sioux city,
large deposits of Coal and Iron have been
found, of a superior quality. A Company
have recently located there (styled the
Bow CRY CoMrANY), who intend ma
king q manufacturing town. If their eff
forts are as successful as they anticipate
it will become n of the best points on
the Missouri, and a great benefit to the
Far West.

A Republican Backed Ont.

A Republican in this city recently refused
to take bet of $500 on Illinois after declaring
that he was anxious to bet that amount that Fre-
mont would carry the State.
The truth is, the Fremonters are by no means
confident Of carrying any State but Vermont
They have little confidence in Pennsylvania a-still
less in New York-they are afraid to bet on Illi-
nois, which they have heretofore claimed by 20
600 majority, and concede Indiana to Buchanan
All their gasconade amounts to nothing when
the test is applied to it. And when Fremonts
Romanism is as generally known to the inhabitants
Of the. interior as it is to those of Washington,
Charleston, San Francisco, and other cities where
he has resided, the humbug will explode COM

indirect assault upon the National Americans
OF the North,--it certainly is not found In its
published correspondence over the signature
of" Mercury" for the first paragraph Of Mer-
cury's letter conveys the very opposite idea to
that entertained In the editorial note Of the
Sun. Mercury says thus:
All the Maryland delegation voted for It 1.-THE
army bilD with the whole South, and by the aid of
conservatives national wsr from the North, ii OBJ
tanned majority Of four votes"
1t twould seem that the editor Of the Sun
obtained his information from the letter Of
Mercury" and yet he changes the last por-
ton Of the sentence above quoted from "Mer-
curry" in order to do an act of palpable inius-
tice to the national, conservative Americans Of
the North. We cannot be silent when such
an act Of injustice is done to the American
party by any press, whether partisan or neu-
tral
