that the mercury was down to ID degrees be-

coolest parts ofRussia, it is common courtesy
and kindness among the people when they meet
to look at each others noses and ifthey discover
signs of freezing, they snatch up hand full Of
snow and violently rub the endangered nose.

BAYFIELD,, WIsCONsIN.-This eBterprisng
town, On Lake Superior, We notice, is attract
ing the attention Of capitalists. 1t is situated
en- the southern shore Of the Lake, in Lapointc
county, about eighty L lies east Of the town of
Superior. The channel is two miles wide, with
an average depth of sixty feet, and is so en-
closed by the group Of islands known as the
Apostles Islands, that it is protected from any
and all diret tiens. On the Goth ult O severe
storm prevailed on the Lake, and the steamers
Manhattan and Superior sought this harbor for
protection. They started out once or twice,
but had to return until the storm abated. The
latter steamer tried to lie at several other
docks, hut found the water too low for the
swells, and returned to Bayfel VIM. M.
McAboy, civil engineer, says that - the chan
nels Of entrance into the bay are wide and
oeep, making it one Of the safest and most
conmodious natural tarbors in the world -
Its geographical position for commercial ad
yantsges, as will be seen by reference to a
map of the surrounding country, is equalled
by few, and eIcelled by none Of the most ia.
vored locations in the Northwest Owens. in
his geological surveys speaks of the harbor in
the same favorable manner. Congress, at the
last sessiop gave grant of land for the con-
struetion of a railroad from the St. Creix
Falls to this place, thus placing it in direct
communication with ST. Paul, Minnesota, ON
one side, and Milwaukee and Chicago on the

sPIEIr OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Unfon replies 70 the Titeitigeneer',
article of yesterday, and invites the attention
of that journal to the speech of Mr.. Fillmore
made nj Albany in Jnne, 1856, where. allud-
ing to the possible election of a sectional can
didate, he scouts the idea that " our southern
brethren would submit to be governed oy
such Chief Magistrate as " "Taanes' anu
"foiiy" The Union thinks
"Tbere are passages in Mr. Filmore's re-
marks which the editors Of the lntelhgencer
might study with profit, especially that noble
declaration in which he says: L might, by
soft words, hold out delusive hopes and there
by win votes but can never consent to be
one thing to the North and another TO the
Soutb ;" and that other equally noble re.
mark: Law and common sense hold a man
responsible for the natural consequences of
his acts and must rot those whose acts tend
TO the destruction Of the government be held
equally responsible Pr Impelled by such sen
timents, MIR. Fillmore gave the highest evil
dtnce Of his patriotism by fearlessly warning
his eountrymen Of their danger. These warn
irgs the Intelligen condemns in unmeasured
terms when repeated by democrats, but has
no fault to find with them when coming from
Mr.. Fillmore. That Journal thinks it would
be better for the democrats TO follow the rule
''fuficient unto the day is the evil thereof, -
and not to have declared in advance what
ought to be done in the event Of Fremont s
election. Unfortunately, however, the Intel
ligencer makes as bad use Of Scripture as
many others who quote it with facility, but
fail to follow its teachings Upon this rule
why could not the editors wait until the con-
tingency should happen, and then come for
ward with their pOnderous cOunsels? If they
can violate the scriptura' rule by declaring
in advance that they riH submit, we see DO
reason why others may not with equal propri
ety,avow their determination NOT to submit
The only difference is, that the Intelligencer,
by making proclamation to the sectienalists
that they will have its influence to sustain
them, gives them encOur cement TO go on
whilst those who warn them Of the danger ma y
eau them TO pause in their mad career"
The InteLitgsncer is devoted TO news.
