DEVILS LAKE, SAUK COUNTY, WISCONSIN, THE
Sauk County Democrat speaks Of the scenery
about this lake, which lies some two miles south
of Baraboo, as sublimely beautiful, and worthy
the attention of those who appreciate the true
and beautiful Of nature It is reported to have
received its name from an Indian legend, to
the effect that great Indian battle was once
fought upon its borders, in which the successful
tribe was totally annihilatsd by the Monomo-
nees, who threw the bodies of their slain ene-
mics into this lake. Since that time no Indian
has eaten Of the fish from that lake, which,
from the time Of the battle, has been called by
them DEVILS Or Spirit Lake. The Democrat
gives the following description Of the lake and
its surroundings:
s'The water lies in deep, triangular chasm,
which has the appearance Of being rent by vol
canic force, the rock of the ehasm presenting an
angular appearance and bearing visible marks
of heat. Its banks are composed of three pre-
cipitous and almost perpendicular bluffs, one
on the East, South and West sides, which in their
arrangement, form three deep valleys dipping
into the lake, one at the Sou Least, South west
and North corners. The bluffs varying from
one hundred to three hundred feet in height, are
faced entirely with angular rocks, among which
are scattered few eVergreens of cedar and pine
varieties, whose roots are fastened in the cre-
vices, and the summit is surmounted with q
heavy growth of oak. The shore Of the lake is
filled in many places for several rods with the
large boulders which have fallen from the sum-
nit of the cliff, and rolled in the water, whilst
many remaining rocks of immense size yet stand
in tottering condition, only waiting for little
assistance, which is often bestowed by visitors
for the purpose of seeing them dash down the
precipice striking fire, breaking rocks and crush
ing trees in their path. In autumn, the plea
SAINT waters, frowning rocks and countless shades
of vegetation, afford as pleasant treat for
amusement, or to awake the latent energies Of
the soul, as We ever Witnessed

How THE MESSAGE IS RECEIVED. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
in s recent letter:
The Presidents message continues to be the
subject of general remark in all circles, and,
on the whole, is more acceptable than docu-
ments of the sort generally are to oil parties.
I am confirmed in the opinion that the views Of
the message as to the state Of negotiations with
England, meet with general appreciation. But
at the same time there is nothing in the whole
dispute some of Lord Palmerston's precon-
ceived opinions aside-that presents an obstacle
to the adjustment of the question relative to
Central America. Our s'manifest destiny will
soon settle that matter without the cid of diplo-
macy.
To majority Of Congress, judging from the
votes given to-day, the views of the message are
also acceptable, and that this majority repre-
sents the opinions and feeling Of vast mass
of the Northern people, and of the whole South,
there is no doubt
The convention Of six or seven Southern
States, which will be held on the Sth of Janu-
ary, will receive these views with great satis-
faction; and the message may have an effect
very favorable, therefore, to the present Admin
istration, and, perhaps, may promote the re-
nomination of President Pierce as national
man.

The CAUSE OF Ir,-It is said to-day among
those usually well informed on such points, that
the President determined in Cabinet council
only as recently as Saturday night last, to send
in the Message Immediately. The English Par

Of the utmost Importance to the future Of our

in length if in intensity. On Christmas Eve we
had smart snow storm, and on Christmas

Since then, through sunshine and rain, we have
never been without ice. This morning it was
freezing on the river sides. We are apprehen-
