Rapid Settlement of Wood County.

we feel safe in saying that no county III the
State is being settled more rapidly than wood
On becoming acquainted with the unsurpassed Ier-
,tv of her soil we were satisfied that a general
knowledge of the advantages here afforded was the
only thing necessary to secure rapid influx oI
nopulation 1t has been prominent OBJECT Win
us TO bring before the public such facts as would
be most likely to attract attention. and place them
in a form that would most probably secure them a
place in the papers all over the country IN thls
we have succeeded to our entire satisfaction Inc
fertility OF our soil and the extent OF 'uT improve
men,s are not only known 10 the reading people
of Ohio but the articles designed to daguerrotypa
the interests and advantages Of Wood County
have been extensively copied by the Journals OF
other States. The result of this has been just rs
VIC hone and expected it would be- Our county
is fast being settled by intelligent, enerprising and
good farmers and we are frequently called upon to
place upon our subscriptonlis list the names oil those
who have recently taken up their abode among u.s.
Weundcrstand that as many as ton or dozen
families have purchased farms and settled IN Mont
gomery township during this spring. Other town
ships have received equal additions to their popu-
lation, wealth, and enterprise. That favorable
feeling towards Wood County is being entertain
ed by persons residing at distance, may be mler-
red from tue fact that We have recently received
the names of several new subscribers from abroad
who expIcss a desire 10 take the Journal merely
to learn something of the county. That THIS
immigration to Wood County will continue and IN
crease, is Just as certain as the fact that her soil
and general advantages are equal TO the best IN
the State. We shall continue to publish such facts
as we may be able 10 gather going to show the
real advantages possessed ly Wood County iarih-
ers over those of most other counties in the State
and shall hope to receive suggestions and lacts
from our intelligent farmers tending to the same

The Indian War-New Version of it.

Flaming letters have BEEN use1 by daily papers TO

mors of wars have excited newspaper reporters,and
the numbers and names Of the unfortunate and de-
ienceless victims of savage rerocy have been CIV
en- with such show Of actual knowledge OF the
facts as to carry conviction of its truth with it,
We have been permitted to make the following
extract from private letter received by F. llo-
lcnbeck, ESQ., from his son Geo. w, AMI dated
"St, Paul, April 81, 1857" which gives quite DIFF
fcrcnt aspect TO the whole ALTAR, and is doubtless
correct
"Thc past week has been one OF great excite
sncnt here at least TO a great many. Tuesday
morning was the first OF the outbreak. About day
light l. the morning messenger arrived from 1T
Peter a town about ninety miles up the Minnesota
River, with the startling intelligence that large
body of Sioux Indians were murdcrin.' ami bur =
ing the houses of the inhabitants about twenty
miles from that place. and requesting the Governor
to send troops and ammunition TO their aid. BY
nopn on the same day both the Pioneer and Shields
Guards had volunteered their services, and also
some hundreds of the citizens of 81. Paul, and pre-
pared to march TO glory. The steamer Time and
Tide" was in waiting TO convey them Up the rlv'r.
st noon, another messenger arrived from Fort
Smelling, saying that there was no necessity OF
their going, as thcro had bccn three companies
from the fort sent up, composing one hundred men.
Consequently those who had donned their regimen
tais took them OF put them into their Pic Boxes
and again retired TO private life. At this time OF
writing, the great frontier war has turned out one
grand (izzle 1t seems that the drprcdations com
mittcd by the Inl ans took place in the latter part
Of February or the first of March, not less than a
hundred miles from ST. Peter and the news did
not reach that place until about the tim2 the In
dans had commenced making sugar The coun'
try folks seeing their fires supposed it was the in
dans coming down npon them and burning the houI
es as they came. Thus terminates the Indian war.

Secretary Stanton, the actual Governor Of
Kansas under Walker anil Buchanan, has ar.
rived at his post and issued an alIrcss to tha
people of that territory. The trl~graphic re-

address, that the Administration recognizes the
authority of the bogus legislature anil the lcgili.
~ o! its enactHents; especially the one rela-
ting to the election of delegates to the Const-
tional convention. 1t is not TO be presumed
that Mr.. Stanton makes this statement without
knowing what he says to be true. 1t is matter
OF two great moment to ba tri(fad with, aud we
must, therefore. regard Mr.. BIchanan occu-

MORE SAD EFFEcTs OF CARRYING FIRE ARMS.
The Lebanon o. 10 Citizen, of Friday
last, relates the following sad and fatal oc-
currence at wedding party in that place on
Monday last
"The company had gathered, when one of
tie guests took off his overcoat, from the pock-
ct of which dropped small pocket pistol. A
young lady present picked up the weapon,
when a man by the name OF Frederick Sphor
asked her to hand it TO him, in doing which,
by some means 1t was discharged, and the
ball entered the right eye of the unfortunate
Spohr, penetrating the brain and causing
death in few minutes. Consideration I'd
alarm SEIZED the party, and the bridal scene
was turned into one Of death. The marriage
was deferred, and with stricken hearts the
guests left the scene, aWsulIy oppressed with
the truth that "in the midst Of life we are In
death"
