STATEMENT OF 4 PASSENGER.

STATEMENT fAssb-'ohh'
Nr. Edward Aver, passenger from San Francis %
by the Orizaba to Panama, states that the Sierra Ne
vads brought down 20 passengers, Of which ten de-
serted at Marzania and were sent to the silver mines
by the natives. The Orizabs brought down twenty
recruits to Sar Juan del Sur for Walker, under the
command Of Cspt- Cbatfeld. When they landed they
all got drunk aud Major Torey was obliged to repi-
mand them, telling them that the Costa Ricans were
in the neighborho,d and might attack them at any
moment. Ilearned from Consul Priest and the Off
GERS Of the United States sloop-ofwar st. Marys, at
San Juan del Sur, that they knew nothing about
Walkers cordion or prospects, having had no COM
mupcstion whatever for three weeks past with him
Walkers men there bossted that he had 800 men, but
there were no grounds for such statement. There
were frequent rarcrs of fights, in which Walker was
ssd to have killed hundreds, whtehe lost but few or
no men himself Bu. this was old story. told oniT
by Walkers men, which nobody credited any more
From al could learn of Walkers men, they had In
camp been furnished half pint Of corn. piantains
and some little feeh beef day; but provisions were
getting scarce. There was hardly anybody at San

The Wisconsin River.

We learn that a great number of
RATS have been tied up above the Mil
waukee and Mississippi Railroad cros-
sing on the Wisconsin river, for a
number of days. The water is very
high, filling the channel up to the
floor of the bridge, and is still rising.
This stage Of the water has prevented
the RATS from passing under the bridge
and OBTAINING many million feet that
the owners were hurrying to the south
ern markets.
The RATS are manned by large
number Of stout men who have little
objection to row, and foray upon
the bridge has been expected for some
days.
Last evening, we understand, par
ty came to this city and after consult
ing the best legal talent, gave the
representatives of the company notice
that tomorrow the bridge must come

All the hands that the Railroad com.

down to defend the bridge.
We did not understand whether the
first bridge, below Mazo Mamie, or one
lower down was the cause Of the
trouble, but suppose it to be the first
one. Madison Argus, 18th.

ARoosrooK. The western fever" in
Aroostook County, Me-, has received
an antidote in the shape Of letter
from certain parties who left that re-
gion last September for Minnesota
After spending the winter there, they
have all concluded to go back, as soon
as they can muster enough to carry
them back. They write that they can
do much better in Arnnstook County
than in Minnesota.
A writer, speaking of the popula
ton, &c, of Aroostook County, says
that their productions are barley, oats,
onions, and children, the last of which
they raise without trouble indeed,
in this respect, they may safely chal-
lenge comparison. One woman on
Green river is the mother of twenty
six, the youngest being fifty-three
years younger than the mother. An
other married at fourteen, is the mother
of twenty-five children and to find
women with more children than they
have been married years, is too COM
mon to excite attention.

The st. Charles Intelligencer comes

drawn from this improvement is, that
St. Charles is going ahead rapidly, and
that its business is increasing-Eay-

We thank our contemporary for his
friendly notice, and in return would
say that the Journal is a new paper

removed the same to Fayette. The

st. Charles Republican Intelligencer.

This very handsome paper came to
us enlarged to eight columns, and, if
possible, improved in appearance. 1t
is printed on paper Of the same size
as the Times, though the material it
now uses is far preferable in quality
to ours-this is their luck and our
misfortune-in a short time we will
have as good paper as can be purchased

The 1ntelligencer is. beautiful

suitable doubtless to its readers. We
are pleased to see that its advertising
columns are well filled, and we trust
that those who employ it will be great
ly benefited. Mr.. Hildrcth, its chief
Editor, has an occasional attack of
trouble about our morals, but we can
not persuade ourselves to find fault
with him for it. If it is at all promo
tive of his happiness to air his sar-
casm by reference to the "egotism'
or the want of purity" of the Times,
we are disposed to regard his conduct
as dictated by charity and designed
for our improvement. We will be
obliged to him however, if he will
avoid quoting as our language, that
which he kno,rs is written by a cores
pondent; he may subject himself to a
charge of wilful misrepresentation, and
it would pain us exceedingly to see so
handsome a man, and SO distinguished

Enterprise.

It leaves its own record. Every CITY

inhabitants In business Of all kinds
it is enterprise that tells the story
Capital is necessary to certain ex-
tent, but after all, it is not capital al
together that does the business. One
man will embark in an undertaking
with very small sum of money, and
by his superior enterprise will far out
do another who began at the same
time with ten times his capital.
Instances are common enough in
our midst of the results that have
been wrought by the aid of this most
powerful of all instruments in life
One will employ the columns of a
newspaper to give constant publici-
ty to his bushes, while another will
make a spasmodic effort in the same
direction, become prematurely fright
ened at the money he is spending,
and draw of his forces just as he most

Real Estate Operations.

We understand that the proprietors
of town property in st. Charles have
sold building lots to the amount of
over $1,000 within the past three
weeks. In majority of cases the
purchasers have stipulated to build
d velling houses upon the lots within a
specified time.
We also learn that one firm in town
Gland agents) sold real estate last
week to the amount of over twenty
thousand dollars. Other dealers in
real estate here, are also doing brisk
business, but of the amounts sold By
them we are not informed. An ex
PLANTATION of this activity in land sales
is had in the fact of our beautiful anc
advantageous location, and the low
r.;.os al wnicn our town property anO
farming lands are held, as compared
with similar property of other locali.
ties possessing far less advantages
The impression appears to have pre-
vailed, to some extent, that real estate
in St. Charles is held at high figure,
and many have been induced to pass
by us on that account; but after ma.
king Investigations elsewhere, they
have finally returned and made their
purchases here. 1t is a pleasing con.
ISOLATION to know that casing" and
an inflated valuation of lands are not
commodities of the St. Charles market
