well as geography Of the country from
Eau Claire to Lake St. Croix, and
thence. to St. Paul, we can scarcely avoid
the conclusion that railroad designing to
tap Minnesota at st. Paul, or in any way
to make the acquaintance of the Saint,
must pass directly through our town, and
cross Lake ST. Croix at Catfish Bar.
Our neighbors, Hudson and Prescott,
for few months back, have been sorely
troubled about this stvexed question. =
But more recent developments have qui-
eted their nerves, and each comedies that
the danger to which they were exposed is
no longer of a threatening character; and
they now rejoice that in their efforts in
trying to crowd each other into the way
they have tumbled the thing, with all its
concomitants, into our heretofore quiet
town.
We'll, now, it is wrong to exult over the
unfortunate, and we have that generous
confidence in both of our respected neigh
bors, to believe that they will extend that
charity towards us to which we are prop
erly entitled; and more especially will
they consider our condition when they re-
fleet upon the fact, that the Author Of na-
ture has SO fixed our location in relation
to other important places, that we cannot
well avoid this connection.
| have no desire, gentlemen, to unneces-
sarily alarm you or your readers; but a
word fifty spoken" in this hour Of dan
ger, may be Of service to them. 1t may,
also, be a timely hint to others who have
an idea Of coming hither to tarry with us !;
and if they are duly forewarned, they can
never bring an action against us for {" ex-
emplary damages"
With these few remarks [ submit the
question for the careful consideration and
calm delberation Of the people of our town
and vicinity. JAKE.

To GEN Renders.

We now lay before you the first copy
Of the journal" 1t is the largest coun-
ty Paper ever started in the North West.
It's size is now equal to any and superior
to the most. We present large quantity
of reading matter this week, more than
we usually shall, though we shall never
permit our paper to be so oyer-run with
advertisements, but that it will contain %
large amount of other matter. We enter
the field Of Newspaper publishing mean
ing to deserve and secure success. We
do not expect to manage paper with the
ability Of a veteran Editor, but we believe
that with honest intention, and earnest
endeayor, we can present our readers with
a sheet which they viii be pleased to re-
ceive, and we not ashamed to own. We
send this paper to many who have not
yet subscribed for it. We hope they may
give it a welcome and also give US the
small sum which will pay for its weekly
visits. Not having got our Office com
pletely arranged yet, our next paper will
not be issued until one week from next
Wednesday. After that we expect our
course viii be Ike that Of a good mans

An Impending Bangor.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: - 1t is said that
"coming events cast their shadows be-
fore;" and if any reliance can be put
upon present reports and prospects we
may rest assured that our heretofore quiet
village is now in extreme danger, and it
behooves all candid, thinking persons in
the village and vicinity to resolve at once
to take proper means either to avert, or
with becoming fortitude endure, the i'm
pending calamity.
It is said that all effects have their
causes, and that all causes have their le-
Ultimate effects; and, therefore, the proper
remedy, in many cases, is to remove the
cause. But we apprehend that the cause
of this threatening catastrophe lies entirely
beyond our reach or control; and under
such circumstances it Ill becomes us to
murmur or complain.
The danger to which we allude, and
which is fraught with such important con
sequences to our peaceful and quiet town,
arises from its location, since it is now
nearly certain that we must be afflicted
with railroad, and the town is said to be
exactly in the way.
That the Superior & St. Croix railroad
must pass via this pace to Prescott, we
deem no longer problem, and we may
as well prepare to meet the consequences.
And when we look at the topography, as

there is a splendid opportunity to make q
place there. The best water | found
all day was in the stream which unites
with Rush river at this point From here
! found road running up to Pomeroy's
mill, after following which mile or two,
| came to the house of Mr. Lawrence,
where a good supper and comfortable
lodging made me feel quite improved.
The timber for twenty miles East of
Rush river is the best | ever saw any
where. Oak, elm, maple, and Eastwood
predominant. The land is quite level and
available for farming, and on nearly every
quarter section may be found clear cold
spring brook, and occasionally large patch
es of rush, which is always green, furnish
ING IN mid-Winter good pasturage for
cattle. All things combine to make this
one Of the richest natural agricultural and
timber districts under the sunshine of hea-
ven, and pleasant for those who choose the
timber. But at present the main body of
the land is untouched by any stroke of
Improvement. Although it was entered
originally by spectators it may be bought
at very reasonable prices.
When the State road from Prescott to
Eau Claire Is putin a travelling condition,
it viii open up this rich and excellent coun-
try. | learn also that q road is projected
from the Eau Gale at the mouth of the
Arkansas creek, to cross Rush river either
at or south of FL Passo.
That part of our County lying cast Of
Rush river, and which the road passes
through from River Falls eastward, is
magnificent, and to notice as it merits
would protract this article to weariscme
length. but should any of the eastern rea-
ders Of the Journal chance to visit this
portion Of the West. a day or 50 will not
be misspent in passing through it.

The Province OF a Newspaper.

The form in which thought seeks ex-
preston is continually changing. In the
pallny days of Romo pantomine rivalled
oratory, and action and gesture spoke
eloquently to the applauding populace.-
Then the drama appeared, and Shakes
peare and Ben Jonson, and the host Of
lesser luminaries, revolving around them,
shaped their thought into graceful dia-
logue, and the actor was the medium
through whom they approached the pub
lic The narrative poem too had It's day
of favor when Scott gracefully struck the
''Harp of the North" and Byron hymned
the stern and mournful music of "Childe
Harold" More lately, the novel has
attained wide and almost universal favor.
Many of the best intellects of our own and
other lands, have chosen it as fitting
vehicle in which their royal thoughts
NAV ride. Yet now the life of intellect
is being determined more and more to
the weekly and daily papers. Instead of
being mere news carriers, they are often
the receptacles of the finest poetry and of
the most finished and elaborate prose-
All the varied subjects of interest, from
the sublime mysteries of religion and the
gravest questions Of legislation down to
the breadth ef skirt and the style of
bonnet are freely discussed in its pages
With SO wide field before him, the Jour
nalist if fitted for his post, need never be
at loss to present bis readers with some
thing interesting and useful We shall
strive to make the Journal valuable to the
lovers of good literature. In our Sec
tons, we shall seek for that which is not
only pure in sentiment, but which in style
and rhetoric viii be safe criterion by
which those beginning to write may COM
pare themselves. Poetry, isa great refiu-
ing and educating power, and we shall
take special pains to have each copy OF
the Journal contain one poem, elegant
IN dietion, eloquent in meaning, be-
sides far share of the lighter forms Of
verse, whose object is merely to interest
or amuse by exciting transient emotion
The Farmer viii not be neglected in our
pages. knowing agriculture to be the
basis upon which our prosperity rests, we
shall make such selections from the lead
ing agricultural papers and insert such
original articles on this subject as we deem
best adapted to meet the wants of the
farmer. The general news Of the day

That Comet.

Every body has heard about ''that
comet" Poets have written 'oaaes" to
it. Prosers have almost exhausted them
selves, and quite exhausted the patience
of their readers, in discoursing about it.
Scientific men have discussed it aud jo-
kers have make fun of it, and some nerv-
Gus men and weak women have been
"lreadfully skeered' by ii. In common
with others we meant to "pitch in and
have our say, but we see it stated in an
exchange, that the monster has,
"Ten million cubic miles of head
Ten Billion leagues of tall"
and we grow cautious. discretion is the
better part of valor." We have made
up our minds to let the Comet alone, if
he will us.

Cur Position.

In entering the field Of journalism, we
feel it is due both to our readers and our
selves that we briefly define the position
which we shall occupy. In politics, we
shall advocate those principles which are
now upheld by the Republican Party
We regard slavery as great evil. We
believe it to be condemned alike by every
sound principle of political economy and
by all the better and holier instincts of
humanity. We believe Freedom to be
the normal condition of every Territory,
and that slavery if it exists, must be the
creature of positive legislation. We be-
lieve the further spread of slavery to be
dangerous to the interests of our country
and that it is the duty of Congress to de-
cree Freedom to I'll Territories under its
care. These opinions we shall freely adj
vocate, yet those opposed to Us in senti-
ment will have access to our columns
In all political matters we shall strive to
oppose measures, not men; to deal fairly
and honestly with all, and not merge the
man an the gentleman in the partisan. The
journal will be decided it It's support
Of the cause Of Temperance. While VIC
believe there has been hurried and unwise
action on this subject, we think it the duty
of the Press to discuss it, so that the
People may be prepared to act wisely and
well. We have no dogmas of religious
faith to defend, but shall strive to pro-
mote public morals, popular education
and whatever else seems to us to be con-
ducive to the welfare of society. Finally
we shall strive to be liberal and catholic
in our treatment of all subjects; radical
enough to accept the New, when it comes
with sufficient promise of blessing, and
conservative enough to cling to the Old
while it continues to be useful and true.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1857-06-13

we shall carefully gather and present to
our readers. We shall strive to make
our local department full and interesting,
that our paper may be valuable to all who
would know of the growth and resources
of this section OF country. Finally as our
paper is a country paper, we trust that
the freshness and vitality of country life
shall prevade it that. our readers may
welcome il, as they welcome the summer
breeze and the breath of roses.
How to Have "a Coed Paper.
The following communication has been
handed to us for publication. It so clearly
expresses our own thought, that we do
not need to preface it with any remarks.
But while we shall try to faithfully perform
the duties Of an Editor, we earnestly de-
sire our friends to act upon the suggestions
here given, and be prompt in furnishing
us with such items Of local news as may
interest our readers.
1t is comparatively easy to start news
paper enterprise; - it is not SO easy to
carry it forward successfully. To secure
such result two things are essential.
/. The Editor must be competent for
the post. He must know the particular
wants of his locality; he must understand
the interests Of his patrons, SO as to defend
them when right and urge to correction
when wrong, and, beyond all else, he
must be guided in everything by those
principles of integrity and fidelity to truth
and duty which are the basis Of all true
civilization.
II. The paper must have good subscri-
bers. That is to say, it must have a good
many good subscribers. Of course, no
paper viii live long life that has them
not And the only way that a good pa
per can be maintained is that it have an
extensive circulation.
These two requisites VIII cause the pa
per to thrive; gil the Editors heart with
content and his stomach with bread and
butter; and give every reader the worth
of his money.
In country village remote from the
centers Of trade and intelligence, a news
journal is driven to rely for its chief inte-
rest almost entirely upon its record of local
matters, and its comments upon the cur
rent household topics Of the community.
To accomplish this with most success there
needs to be constant intercourse between
Editor and reader. Whenever the latter
becomes possessed Of g fact likely to inte-
rest his neighbors, let him communicate it
for publication. An Editor is not onni-
present. or be would do it himself. He
need not be if each reader will take the
trouble to write briefly the facts OF any
accident,-a new commencement of any
enterprise or more vigorous prosecution
of an old one,-in short, shy remarkable
occurrence Of whatever kind that falls
within his notice. III this way the news
paper becomes the medium through which
the intelligence and life of to-day are made
the common property Of the entire COM
munity.
= If the readers Of the Jomnaz will
cooperate with its Editor IN this endeavor,
| doubt not it may become living insti-
tuition that shall be not altogether unwor-
thy their patronage. DUrToN.
