cen pleased to say of the towns of Buchan

been pleased to say of the towns of Buchan-
an and Beaver Bay; yet we regret that the
editor has passed over another point by no
means insignificant, and, if We may judge
from the indications. one that has a future
before it." We mean Du Luth. 1t was
laid out last spring, and at the present time
can boast Of dozen or fifteen houses, good
saw mill, pier, and an Industrious and intelli-
gent population. Du Luth property meets
with ready sale, and we arc creditably in
formed that average lots are selling in Saint
Paul for $500 each.
Encampment, too, is point worthy ofno-
ticc. 1t possesses natural advantages which
will attract the attention of the passer-by.-
Favored with we'll sheltered harbor, rich
and abundant mineral deposits, and a fine
farming country, it can well claim to be
among the important points on the North
shore. Its enterprising propretors are now
making extensive improvements on the town
site. About twelve acres of land have been
cleared this fall, several streets cut out, and
| three or four temporary buildings erected
A winter road has also been opened from En-
campmcnt to Burlington, a distance of about
ten miles and We understand it is the in
tention to continue it on till 1t intersects the
road opened last winter from Du Luth to Blu
chanan.
At some other time, and when we can
gather more complete data we shall speak
at greater length of the various towns on the
North shore.

REMARKABLE MIRAGE ON THE CoAsT OF
THE RED SEA.-A late London paper pub
fishes the following The Secretary Of the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company has forwarded the following extract
of letter from the Company's agent at Alden,
dated Alden, September Is: Yesterday,
little afternoon, the signal was made a
"a steamer to the eastward and was kept
flying the whole afternoon towards evening
the signalman reported that the steamer was
gradually receding, and supposed that she
had either broken down or run out of Goals.
On this the political resident ordered the
Hon. Company's steamer Queen to get up
steam and go to her assistance. The Queen
accordingly left about nine o'clock, and met
the Oriental at three o'clock this morning
steaming along all right. At the time the
steamer was signalized she was one hundred
and fifty miles from Aden!"

tors of the Cedar Falls Banner, started from
Independence on Tuesday of last week, with
a buggy and pair Of horses, with the inten-
ton of returning home. When but few

in reaching grove on the head waters of
Pine creek near night. This grove was about
twenty miles south east of his destination
The next day he succeeded in reaching Gill
bertville on horse back; his buggy having
been left in snow drift about five miles
from that place. On the next day he return
ed. His sufierings were extreme, but lucki-
ly he escaped without being frost-bitten.-
He says that for this winter at least, he may
be considered as safely housed.

LAKE SUPERIOR RAILRoAD.-Notice Is
given in several of the Canadian papers, that
application will be made at the next session
of Parliament for charter authorizing
company to construct a railroad from the
shores of Lake Superior to the valley OF the
Assiniboine, the intention being to continue
it on to the shores of the Pecific. An ex-
change says -" 1t would be no feather in tn
cap of the Yankees, if after they had origin
ated and long discussed the project of rail
way line to the Pacific, their Canadian neigh
bors stepped in and quietly consummated the
important enterprise. But if the next Con-
gress shall take prompt and vigorous meas
ures preliminary to the construction of the
road, and giving earnest of the intention on
the part of our government to continue the
work to its completion, we shall probably
hear no more of the Canadian scheme"

The POSTAL ARRANGEMENT WITH CANA.
DA.-A letter from st. Catharines, Canada
West, says A very great error is made by
United States correspondents, who some.
times pay the postage to the line-three
cents-which is Of no avail, and is lost, as
letters conc with the full charge, ten cents
By the postal arrangement between the two
countries, it is optional to pay, or not pay
but partial payment, on either side, is struck
off by postmasters.

The MESSAGE AT WAsHrNGToN.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says no Northern Democrat here de-
tends Pierce's pettiogging in the message
relative to the late election and sectional par
ties. On the contrary, it is generally de-
nounced as insulting, impertinent and silly.
This opinion is concurred in by all Southern
men even, who are not Pierce's partisaus.-
Senator Bright denounces it openly!

ask permission from the New York Councils
to allow them to lay their wires underneath
the streets of the City of New York, instead
of on poles, as they are at present. The mat

under the ground, and less interruption be
experienced. The wires will be placed in

A buchanan Paper on the Presidents
Message.


The Missouri Democrat has an extended
and able review of the late message OF Pres-
ident Pierce, somewhat novel in tone LOT a
Democratic paper published in Slave State
The following will show its spirit lit does
not bear many of the characteristics OF a doc
ument that should come from the Executive
of great nation but on the contrary is de-
voted chiefly to vanishing up and setting
in the best possible array tho measures
which have marked the expiring administra-
ton. If we regard it for any purpose OF ex-
tracing therefrom expansive views of states
manship, or correct and energetic application
of the true principles ofgovernment, we shall
be disappointed. The tone is not d'gn'fled'
the argument is only ingenious sophlstry'
and the whole design of the paper is not, as
the Constitution expresses it, to recommend
to Congress such measures as the President
may deem necessary, as we'll as to inform il
of the State of the Union, but rather to spir
out an elaborate defense ofthat domestic pol
lev which has already stigmatized the name
of Franklin Pierce with universal contempt

Only News.

The only important news we find by the
slow mail which arrived last evening is that
the notorious Lecomptc is really removed
from his position as Chief Justice of Kansas.
Our weak President was forced to make this
sacrifice to his personal "phclinks.'

The imports Of the Island for the year
1852 were about $3O,OO0,O0o, being in ex-
cess of the exports some 100000. Of tn
imports, S6,s5O,OOO were from the United
States, and of the exports, nearly one-half of
the whole amout were sent hither. The to-
tai revenue from all sources, legitimate and
those devised by the peculiar ingenuity of ex-
tortion possessed by Spanish policy, reached
in 1852, possibly Sl6,OOO,OOO.- The bona
fide revenue of that Island, however, among
civilized publicists, would hardly be placed,
at present, above $l2,OOO,OOO.
