THE MIyERAL WEALTH OF WISCONSIN.

Your correspondent when speaking of the
mineral wealth Of Missouri ia the Seaatiad Of
this morning might have added that Wisconsin
does not fall behind that State in this respect
Our mines of copper and lead are much more
extensive than those of Missouri and we have
whole lodges of iron ore. in the vicinity of Lake
Superior equal in quality, and exceeding in
quantity, the Iron Mountain of Missouri. We
have other resources in our linestones, sand
stones and unknown quarries of granite may
exist in the interior where no one has yet ex-
tended his explorations.
The railroad surveys to be extended across &c
Lake Superior copper and iron mines this seas
on, viii bring 70 light many facts concerning
this almost unknown region that viii add much
to the prosperity of the State and show the re-
cessity for immediate action in pushing forward
some Of the numerous projected lines of railroad
towards that rich district.
Il is to be hoped for the credit of our State
that the geological survey now in progress vii
be continued until our whole mineral and agri-
cultural land manufacturing resources are ascer-
tained-and that report Of the final result:
will be prepared and published.
We have no fears bat that this viii show IN
ducenents for the investment Of capital in Wis
cousin, at least as great as in any other State
in the West.-Sczti57c.

For the Tribune

DEAR SIR i should conclude, by the signs
of the time; that we are on the eve of trem-
cndous change in he Administration of cur
Governments. If President Pierce and his
clique were seeking the happiness, and pros
peritv of our nation as a whole; and to support
the Constitution (as he is bound TO do,) why
such struggles, death throes to extend Slavery
into the Territories, and to enforce laws upon
the free citizens of Kansas laws instituted by
Missouri Rutfians and Cypress the citizens,
who have gone there, expecting the protection
of tleir rights III Tereal Government
Why allow Mr. Barstow to ride over the
heads of the good people of Wisconsin into the
GubernaiionaI Chair, when Mr. Bashlord was
put there by the people Why cali the people
from out of the county and State, to vote the
County Seat at Shullsburg, when it ought to be
at Center! Those cnormities call aloud for re-
dress. There IS a just God who viii avenge
his people Such ffaudtlen; Transactions as
are disclosed, are in keeping with that low cum
ming which seeks for Office right or wrong; and
discards every principle Of right.

ton and avert the threatening storm, by rush
ing to the standard Of Liberty. unfurl the stars
and stripes, aud let them float to the breeze :

THE MISSING STEAMER,

The Arabia has arrived bringing no tidings of
the Pacific The Arabia left Liverpool thirty
seven days after the missing steamer Upon
the supposition that the Pacific was disabled
when she was half way over she had then
nearly thirty days 10 get back to port. Yet OF
course neither this nor any other superstition
can be made with certainty. II still less likely
that she has been trying to make 4 port In the
United States, It is now fifty days since she
put to sea, and if she had met with an accident,
and still kept on her course, she could hardly
have failed to reach our coast before this Pos
sibly, however, she has sailed in crippled con-
dition for the Azores on Western Islands II
she has attempted this, five and-twenty days
would be a fair allowance of time for her to
reach Fayal.
Surprising her to have arrived safely there in
that time, We would scarcely hear from her in
less than thirty days more, and might not IN
der forty or fifty.
The communication VII; The Western Islands
IS wholly by sailing vessels and the intercourse
unfrequent. We ought not, therefore, 10 con-
slider the question before the first week in next

But, notwithstanding the cherished hope o.
her safety, based upon highly probable mode
Of proceeding in the case of the breaking of =

chinery her continued absence creates appre-
hension. She had been out at the sailing of the
Arabia longe.Ihan the Atlantic al the time OF her
memorable disaster; the latter having reached
