Hard Times for De
cember Trip from Prairie du

=
We had call yesterday from Mr.. A.V.
Merrill, editor Of the Courier at Prairie du
Chen, where, we are glad to learn, he is
doing well, and building up fine business.
He gave us some items Of bis experience
on his journey hither which will serve to
| illustrate the obstacles which the Mil. q
Miss r. r. Co., like other western com
Ipanies, have to encounter as the result of
the late heavy snow storm.
His party left Prairie du Chen tao
wceks ago, and arrived the same night at
Boscobe.., "a miles this side, being the first
station on the railroad. The snow drifts
were deep, and no trains could get away.
Getting fair start on the shovelled track
after two or three days delay, the train
brought up in deep drift some sixfniles
this side Of Boscobel, and then commenced
the work in earnest. The train would
plunge into the drifts, the snow being
sometimes as high as the top Of the cars,
and coming to dead halt, wait till the
Ishovelers ~ passengers and all anus
ling themselves that way-could clear the
wheels, and then running back dash in
Iagain. So they struggled, but three days
land nights passed in making dozen miles
progress. Provisions were all gone; only
Iscanty supplies could be obtained from the
flew farm houses accessible. Parties were
detailed to cut and bring wood for the en-.
lgines, and they kept up steam with diff
Iculty in the four locomotives. At length
latter almost despairing Of being thawec
tout till spring, one Of the working parties
returned to the train at about 2 o'clock one
morning, with the joyful report of having
heard the whistle of engines coming from
the eaetward. and the excitement was ia.
.ltense till, just about daylight, tho rel.a1
ltrain from Madison, with four engines,
which had been working for several days
from the eastward, drove through the
drifts, and '.litching on the whole train
moved to Muscoda.
After cleaning out the provisions at Mus
lcoda, which were scanty enough for fam
Iished people, the train, with engines
worked through with considerable speed
1.-THE track was then clear to this city, bu
!, Mr.. Merrill was obliged to stay day or twe
lin Madison, and meantime the rain storm
'lhad packed the snow so as to dam up tn,
trains, and the water stood deep on the
track in many places and in this condition
lof things the mercury fell below zero, and
congealed the water to ice which seemed
to be as hard as iron, so that nothing bu
the slow work Of the pickax could clear the
track for the wheels, and the train was two
ldays getting to this city milwaukee,

Old Bullion Ola Eaepemtance-He
concludes the Nortia is ala right
On the Uzai0n-is going South.

The stupendous Col. Tom. II. Benton
lately visited the heathens of New Eng
land to preach against the disunlonlsts' but
he found men. women and all for the Union.
His astonishment at not finding any OF the
northern disunionists, so often cited to him
by donghfaces and Niger drivers, may be
imagined. His hearels told him to 50 to
South Carolina for disunionists, whefe the
tories did dwell, and the Col. said he'd go
there as missionary.
It has become common taunt Of South
ern orators that the Slaves on the planta-
tons were better fed, and happier than op-
eratives of the New England manufacto-
RES Col Benton has investigated the
matter, and is surprised beyond measure
at the luxurious fare Of the latter class
He says:
an all the useful and ornamental arts,iE
what contributes to the advancement and
perfection of tho human being, New Eng
land has gone ahead, and has gone into
other parts Of the Union, rendering educa-
lion, educated young MEL to instruct her
y5utlls, pious and learned parsons to fill
their pulpits, eminent men in every walk
IN life, and artizans, though mentioned last
they are among the most useful and hon
orable of the ioie. New England has
done it. And |, who have been through
sterile fields, have found everywhere, for |
have examined into everything, an album
dance ofhosptality and comfort with which
/ was before unaclaainted. have gone
through their factories from top to bottom.
have been astonished at the perfection Of
their machinery and sometimes have asked.
did you get that invention from Old
England ~ for l knew | was putting them
to theil mettle, and they would instantly
answer, sNo; we did that ourselves. -
Not only was surprised by the perfection
of the machinery, but also by the cleanli-
ness which peryadel every Department.
The rooms are ample and well ventilated
in Summer and Il warmed IN Winter
The operatives, too, were comely, male and
female; aud this, too, struck me as | pas
sed through. / made It my business TO
converse with them, and with the young
women. / found them to be attractive
and comely, modest without being bashful,
confident without assurance, and quite in
teligent. / went also through the board
lighthouses and there all my ideas were re-
versed, for had before supposed that the
operatives in New England as in Old Eng
land, were living in small, narrow, confined
and uncomfortable buildings, with poor
food But, on the contrary, found them
II say it without disparagemens to any
tejy-sltuated as wellas members of Con-
gress are at Washington City Applause
They were in large, stately and elegant
buildings, in long rows, and entered in the
same manner in which you enter the par
Ic.>:n Washington, by ringing a bell at the
entrance. In the parlor there was furni-
ture equal to that which can be found in
Congress boarding houses.

SUPPOSED Loss OF SENATOR BAHIA
Tennessee paper says Senator Bell will
loose about $4,000 by the insurrection
panic. -Four Of his negroes, in his absence,
were hung by one Of the local courts, and
five more BY the mob, without Judge or
Jury. Yet there seems to have been little
or no evidence to inculpate them. Here,
people are so frig btened that they dare not
let the negroes assemble in church, Sunday
nights. The penalty for meeting for any
purpose" even for social party or prayer
meeting, ranges from fifteen 20 thirty lash
les under the Virginia law. It has been in
flicted in several cases on both men and
women, in the neighborhood Of Alexan-
dria, recently.

VILLAGE ORDINANCES. The laws Of the
Lancaster Village Corporation, just adopt
ed by oar Corporation authorities, will be
found in cur paper this week. They are
all revenue laws, excepting ono for restrain
ing hogs running at larse.
Circuses are to be taxed $500 which
they will not mind paying, and little exhi.
billions $3.50 for each exhibition, which
they cannot afford to pay. The effect will
be to drive away small exhibitions and adj
NIT the big ones, but that is the way
the world is governed encourage the
great, cripple the weak. This is just what
earth, ocean and armament are quarrelling
about--the big fer join to swallow the
little many and the latter are getting too
big to 60 down the Threats of the former
Instead of taxing one horse scientific exhi-
billions, premiums ought to be paid them,
churches and public rooms freely thrown
open for the public to go III and see and
earn. We are at loss to see what there
is deserving tax or license to exhibit tc
our village men, women and children tue
wonderful works IF Nature and Science, land
illustrate such works with Astronomical
Chemical and Philosophic apparatus; here
however, is an actual prohibitory tariff up
pom the like. We may be wrong; oul
views may be too liberal; the laws may be
just, wise and patriotic, butwhen our cali
bre grows small enough to see anything o.
the kind twill be after this.

THE SLAVE TRADE.-A correspondent
of the Augusta, (Ga.) Chronicle and Sen
tinel, reviews the positions Of the Democrat
lie party for several years past on the sla-
very question and concludes as follows:
II therefore prophecy that within foul
years the opening ofthe African slave trade
will be plank in the Democratic platform
that every man tina. does not subscribe tc
it will be branded as faint hearted and an
enemy to the North: that it will elect q
Northern man for President, opposed to
Democracy; that it will be charged that
the whole North has become abolitionized,
and a dissolution Of the Union moved on
account Of il; that a certain saucy stump
orator in Georgia will swear he has been
in favor of it all his life, and that one hun.
dred llck-spHrres will 5t.n1 raady and offer
10 swear they heard him SO swear, and will
give him time and OCCASION"
