On the right pretty sheet Of water pecped
out from the woods, and in short one OF the
most pleasing of rural prospects that can
we'll be conceived of, met our view.
As we proceeded onward, hills, meadows,
prarie, groves, brooks, rivers, and lakes all
combined to make up as charming country
as could possibly be desired. The river.
which we called ashley, is a fine stream about
fifty feet wide and from three to five feet
deep whose waters are as clear as crystal and
as pure and sweet as water can be. The
banks are pretty high as general thing; and
where they are not, fine meadow land extends
on one or both sides from every acre of
which four or five tons of excellent hay can
easily be cut.
After examining this stream we crossed it
and proceeding about quarter of mile,
the gleam of waters shone through the trees,
and in a short space we stood Oh the banks
of the loreliest lake in all Minnesota.

Minnesota abounds in fine lakes, but it is
nevertheless fact; and l again repeat it
that Fairy Lake $50 we christened it, is the
most charming sheet of water in the Terri
tory. But as this deserves separate chap
ter we will more fully describe its beauties

The Cholera OH its March.

Mlsiortunes gather thick about the human
race the present year. The war in China
the terrible and bloody rebellion in British
India, the incidents which sickcn the heart
the disaster Of the Central America steam
ship-the financial panic and revulsion we
are now IN the midst of-form combination
OF evils enough of themselves one would think
to satisfy the hate of the veriest foe to the
hunlan race that ever existed; but the follow
ing paragraph from the last New Yorl, Er-
press would show that our pis not vet full
and that the plague Of plagues-the Cholera
is also upon its destructive march to slav
its many thousands of mankind:
The news from Central America. by the
"Star Of the West, is of melancholy import.
The Cholera is raging in Guatemala and Sal.
vador, with fearful fatality,-and among the
more llustlious of its victims is the Ameri
can Minister, Hon. w. E. Venable, the wife
of the President of Guatemala, and ST. San
Martin, Ex-Presidcnt of San Salvador. Sew
eral eminent physicians have likewise been
carried off
The intelligence Of Mr.. Venable's death
will be received with profound regret by the
wide circle Of his relatives and friends in the
United States. His death took place on the
22d ult., shortly after his arrival at the seat
Of government.
The cholera,-it will be observed by our
last advices from Europe, is likewise making
dreadful havoc, not only at Hamburger and
Stockholm, but other places in Northern Eu-
rope. Though by almost common consent,
this fell disease is looked upon as beyond
quarantine control,-we understand the
health officer and physicians are keeping a
vigilant eye upon all vessels arriving from in
fected ports .

Democratic ViIlainy.

In Dodge County the Democracy have been guilty Of
piece of corruption hardly equalled in the history
any party that ever existed 1t they issued tick
cts headed Republican, with the names of the Senator
and one the Representatives recesed believing by this
they would defeat the election of both The Re-
pubicans having detected the fraud, Immediately issued
circular warning Republicans to be their guard up
which the Democrats issued another contradictnr IT,
and to which they signed the name of the chairman of
the Republican County Committee. It. however, eIec
ted nothing, it would from the returns of that
receive the condemnation of every honest man. whether
he be Democrat or Repubcan-Red Wang ReL,aLki-
can.
We can add to the above, that gentleman
from Dodge Comfy has exhibited to us the
spurious tickets and handbills. 4 more i'm
pudent attempt at fraud, has seldom been ex-
hibited. 1t was designed for effect in Mower
County, which is in the same senatorial and
representative district with Dodge; and the
names changed, were the Dodge County NOM
nations, and therefore, not personally known
to the Republicans Of Mower. Our inform
ant says, the fraud was so shrewdly got up
that it took the hardest kind of work to con-
vince the Republicans of Mower the fraud
was fraud, and that the Simon Pures were
not the bogus. They finally made the vii
lany understood, and the Democracy did not
take anything by their motion. The tickets
and handbills were got up at the office Of the
Democratic press, of Dodge County, the
Wasioja Gazette. 1t must be a dirty con-
Germ.

The Iowa Election.

This took place on the same day with that
in Minnesota. Judge r. =. Lowe, was the
Republican and Ben. M. Samuels, was the
Democratic candidate for Governor. The
canvass was pretty sharp, and the State was
contested by the two candidates, county by
county. on the stump.
The Dubuque Express and Herald of the
l4th contains the result of the election in
Dubuque city and Julien precinct, Of which
it is a part. For Samuels (Dem.) 1882 4; for
Lowe (Rep.) 673; making Samuels MAORI
ty 992, instead of the 400 maj cast for Bu-
chanan in 1856.
We think Iowa is Republican, beyond a
peradventure; but it will take few days to
tell the whole tale. "a

From Kansas we learn that Jefferson Co.
is largely Republican. Delaware and Kick.
apoO give Democratic majorities of so and
430. johnson County is conceded to the
Democrats, but it is thought that Douglas
County will give large Republican majority.
Commenting on this dispatch, the .4yJany
Journal says:
In the bend Of the Missouri River, where
it quits the Kansas border and sweeps east
ward through Missouri, lies Platte County,
Platte County is nest of halfcvilized,
drunken, brutal Ruflians. notorious from
Maine to California. 1t always pours a horde
of them into Kansas on election day. So 1T
was last week. The county of Lcavenworth
is reported Democratic. 1t lies next 10
Platte County. Atchison is Democratic. IL
lies just north of Platte Co. Johnson IS Dem
ocratic. 1t lies just south of Platte county.
Delaware which gives a Democratic majority
of 80. is on the line of Platte County. Nlck-
apoo gives Democratic majority OF 4oO, be-
cause Walker marched the dragons to the
polls, there to aid the voters" of Platte
County. But the counties OF Doniphan, JEFF
fcrson. Calhoun, Douglas and Shawnee, are
almost unanimously Republican, for they
were out of the reach OF Platte County,
Topeka, Lawrence, Palmyra and Willow
Springs, cast hardly any but Republican
votes They were too far off from Platte
County. One cannot compare the election
returns with the map of Kansas, without
coming to the irresistible conclusion that it
was not contest among the people of Kan
sas, bu: between the settlers of Kansas and
the Ruffians of Platte Go.

The Galena Gazette Of the 18th seems to
anticipate in the FLOWING paragraph revi-
val of the lead mining business in that vicin-
ity. with something of its pristine vigor. We
trust its anticipat;ons will be realized. Dig
ging and delvinS and strict economy in ev-
erything, must be the watchword of every
community. Speculation is over and real
work is the only guaranty hcnccforward for
pr spcrity
LET TIE MINERS CONE On we are
gratiied to find that public attention is being
turned to the mining interest as one that will
afford profitable employment the ensuing
winter to tens of thousands of industrious
men. We want to see return of the good
old times when our Lead Mines swarmed
with earnest and labOrious men, who were
not afraid to handle the pick and tie CAD,
who plunged into the bowels of the earth
and brought mineral Sin sight, and sorereigas
into their pockets. Winter is the favorable
time for Lead Mining, and now is favorable
time TO select grounds, build cabins and Law
i'll supplies. In all directions from Galena is
ground open for mining, either prospecting"
or work in old digyings. The hills in our
immediate vicinity abound in lead ore, and
we hope to see their riches speedily developed.

Odd Fellowship In Polynesia.

The Odd Fellows in Australia have q
large Relief Association, composed of con-
tributing members, who annually expend an
enormous amount in relief, besides assisting
distressed brothers who are sick. A similar
association existed in California few wears
ago, before the Grand Lodge was instituted
there. The Australia { (American) Odd Eel
lows Associations work without a charter,
although numerous Lodges chartered by the
Manchester (Eng.) Unity Of Odd Fellows
are in operation. Brothers arriving there
are received, cared for, provided with moneys
and employment if destitute, and attentively
nursed if sick. TO the large amount of dis.
tress relieved, should be added the greater
amount timely prevented, and the philanthro-
pist will perceive the humane tendency and
great good to our race of such institutions. -

Frauds HatcIling.

LAWRENCE, Oct. 9.
The pro-slavery party concede that Parrot
is elected, but talk of contesting his seat
1t can hardly be doubted that the Free State
men have legally elected majority in both
Houses. But the bogus officials at Lecomp-
ton have already commenced tamperiDg with
the returns. On account of some alleged in
formallty in the appointment of the precincts,
all the returns from the county of Franklin,
save those from one precinct, have been
thrown out. The returns thus refused were
from four precincts, and gave Free State ma
jorities.
The same fraud is being enacted with the
returns from several other counties. This is
the work Of Secretary Stanton.
A letter dated Lawrence Oct 9, from Mark
Parrot, Free State delegate to Congress
states that there are 24 Free State members
of the Legislature out of tie 80 elected. and
that his majority as far as received is 5000,
and increasing with additional returns.

Daily Times from all the returns received ND
to the 10th inst:
"The returns are encouraging, and yet it
is certain that the vote, in the Northern part

have not exerted themselves as much as the
principles at stake would warrant the expec-

The election in Ohio took place on the

date for reelection, against Payne, demo

five counties; that the Legislature is proba-
