HIGH TEsrIMoNIAL.-The "Ohio Cultivator,',
for April, published at Columbus, Ohio, has the
following testimony to the merits of Mr. Remick's
horse, Wyanooski: $50 .gs
ssGooD Horse FOR IowA.--We laarn that
Mcssrs Blake & Williams of this city, have sold
their beautiful Morgan Stallion, WYANoosK1, to
Mr. C. Remick, of Burlington, Iowa. This horse
was our pet, from among a lot of Morgans bro't
from Vermont, by Mr. Williams, q few years ago,
and his stock since that time has fully justified
our admiration of his style and capabilities. Wy
ANoosKI is of the Sherman strain and of the Gif-
ford style, gets up admirably, and what is of
most consequence, gives his colts style and con-
stitution. Messrs Blake l. Williams have done
much to improve our horse stock by the impor-
tation of many fine animals, which have been
disposed of to different parts of the country, and
as far as we have heard, have given good salts
faction. The Morgan Horse is becoming Ma
tional favorite, no other single breed is so uni-
versally popular, and our Iowa friends will find
this an acquisition which may be turned to prof.
table account, though we do not like to see such
horses taken from Ohio until the stock is more
plenty 5s 3s

Mr.. DuNHAx: 'i
1t seems from the above that the Municipal
mountain after protracted labor of two weeks
has after the manner of its fabulous predecessor
brought forth mouse. With considerable
anxiety I have waited for the result of the mat
ter and the disposal of that committees report.
And should think the thanks of the auctioneers
Of this city we're due to that committee, (who-
ever composed it) for evidence that some lib
erality does exist among the members Of the
council. would avail myself Of your kindnessto
make a few remarks on this, to me, sp.fair aud
partial system of taration. The whole, be-
lieve is not told in the above extract am in
formed that the auctioneers will be required to
give bonds Of 81 900 to make full and complete
returns under oath Of all the business they trans
act. 53,ta.sszt
Had this ordinance emanated from the cham
bers Of the Spanish Inquisition, or been promu'-
gated by His Imperial Majesty Alexander Of
Russia, it might have passed without notice in
the ordinary course of common events; but when
in country which boasts its Republican spirit,
in city which however it might be clouded by
the mist of Old Fogyism still strives to share in
the credit and good reputation, SO rapidly ac-
cruing to our Western cities, special ordinance,
SO strongly tinctured with the worst kind Of
despotism is promulgated, shall We be pardon
ed if we refuse compliance, and cry out, "Why
are we thus persecutcd?" ssWhat have we done
more than any other men, that we should thus
| be made the marks for municipal thunder to be
| hurled at?' "Echo answers, "Done more busi-
| ness" This suppose, sir, is the secret, for We
can imagine none other. Had they confined
themselves to selling tin whistles or brass
| watches, this matter would never have been
started, but because they try to make the auc-
ton business as genuine business as any other,
selling goods which all men need, they interfere
with the privileges Of old traders and must be
4 worried out If the city council is governed by
this interest, it exhibitsa short sighted policy,
if personal jealousy usurp the place of public
duty it should be pulled down. One thing is
certain the men on whose occupation this ordi-
nance tells so heavily are determined that no
means, exertions or legal ability shall be want.

assurance Of the sympathy Of all lovers Of fail

Another version Of the walker Dis
cOmfituRe.

Capt. VIM. E. Bushnell, who came passenger
in the George Law makes the following state
ment in relation to the defeat of portion OF
Walkers army by the Costa Ricans. He says
that the reports at Virgin Bay when he iett'
March 25, were that Col Schlessinger, with $50
men, was met about sixteen miles from Guiana
Coste, BY from 800 to 1000 Costa Ricans, and
being surprised he was routed. but soon gained
a position which he was confident be could hold
until reinforced from Walkers army, which was
about seventy miles distant. His reported loss,
including the missing, was about sixty. Waiker
has from 1000 to 1900 men with whom to rein
force Schlessinger, leaving Col Piper IN com-
mand of the forces at Grenada. Walkers Army
Is composed entirely Of Americans. each Of which
is considered equsi to three Costs Ricans. Wax
ker's agent in New Orleans denounces the story
lof the rout Of Col. Schlessinger rs falsehood
| He says the account received from headquarters
is, that Col Schlessinger had only $50 men, thai
be was attacked By nearly 5000 Costa Ricans, ant
tha. he retreated to San Juan. 5

Discovery OF LEAD ORE IN NORTHERN Iowa.

We learn by gentleman from Lansing, that
short time since, a Mr.. Tichnor formerly from
Platteville, struck valuable lode of lead ore on
Silver Creek, small stream running into the lit
tie Iowa, about twelve miles west of La lsing. 1t
is represented an east and west sheet, in reg
ular perpendicular creyiee, six inches in thick
ness and ten feet in height, with every appear
ance of continuance. They are raising about
four thousand pounds per day. There is quite
an extent of country lying directly west of Lam,
sing where small quantities of lead ore have
been found on the surface, hut it has not, ex-
cept to very limited extent, been mined for.
This is the first regular lode that has been struck
that we have heard of. .z,

Government official at Dubuque, in Iowa, in
official rep rt made to Col S. II. Long, Supcrin-

to be ninety-seven thousand six hundred and
thirty-three tons.
Now as New York has tonnage of 50, los, St.
