Chicago Tribune for 1857.

| TyHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is a bold, earn
| / est and straightforward Republican paper.
| devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle of the Repub-
| lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
| not for a campaign, but during the struggle
| between Freedom and Slavery, 1t contends
| for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress of 1887, that "Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free
| that Slavery shall be excluded ftom ali Ma
| tional Territory, and that the influence of the
| General Government shall be exercised on the
| side of Freedom.
THE TRIBUNE AS A NEWSPAPER.
The City of Chicago has become the news
| centre as well as the Commercial emporium,
| of the great Northwest. The vast system OF
railroads terminating in it, afford facilities for
| gathering intelligence from all directions with
| great dispatch, and the Tribune is unrivalsed
in the West for its enterprise in this department.
It's long and spacious columns are filed with
fresh and entertaining matter, embracing essays,
tales, letters, narratives, poetry, politics, and
miscellaneous articles. The Tribune is elevated
in moral tone, and eminently adapted to the
western home circle, and the hreside OF intelli-
gent, freedom-lovlng families.
TIE TRIBUNE AS A COMMERCIAL PAPER.
The Tribune is the best commercial paper in
Chicago No expense or labor is spared to
make its market reports reliable and satisfac-
tory, not only fer Chicago, but for the princi-
pai eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
are based on actual sales.

Ayers Cherry Pect0l'al.

EOR THE rapid cure of Coughs, Colds;
E Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough,
Asthma and Consumption, is universally known
as the best remedy ever yet discovered for every
variety of Pulmonary disease. So wide is the
field Of its usefulness and so numerous the cases
of its cures, that almost every section Of the
country abounds in persons publicly known,
who have been restored from alarming and even
desperate diseases Of the lungs by its use.
When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine Of its kind is too apparent to es-
cape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what an
tidote to employ for the distressing and dam
gerous affections Of the pulmonary organs
which are incident to our climate. by its
timely use many, nay almost all attacks Of
disease upon the Lungs or throat. are arrested
and thus are saved many thousands every year
from premature grave. No family should
be without il, and those who do neglect to pro-
vide themselves with remedy which wards OIL
this dangerous class Of diseases will have cause
to deplore it when it is too late. Proofs Of the
surprising efficacy of the Cherry fectoral need
not be given TO the American people, they
have living proofs in every ncighborhood. But
those who wish to read the statements of those
whose whole health has been restored and
whose lives have been saved by its use, will
find them in my American Almanac which tn.
agent below named has to furnish gratis TO
every one.

Kossurn CouSry.-A friend recently
arrived from that beautiful and fertile
county, informs us that it is improv-
ing very rapidly. Claims are being
made almost daily, and settled upon
by actual cultivators of the soil, with
q view to making it their home. He
also speaks highly of the new and
beautiful town Of Irvington. Several
new buildings have been erected the
present season, and many more arc in
process of erection. lie informs us
that Judge Cali, the original propric-
tor of Algona, has lately become large

lrvington, and has plated it as an
addition to that town. He is building
a fine residence upon this tract.-Aam-

Broken Telegraphic Cable.

The following facts, stated by a
writer in the Washington National
Intelligcnccr some days ago, may
perhaps account for the accident to
tho tclegrapl,ic cable:
ain the first place, he says that the
soundings that have been taken are
probably the least satisfactory portion
of tho whole undertaking. They
were taken by the navy and coast
survey, and by the telegraph compa-
ny, and there arc great discrepancies,
and they do not dovc-tail with each
other in any reasonable degree. In
crossing the Atlantic on the usual
route to and from Great Britain,
colored water is frequently met, in
dicating soundings at no very great
-, '--s.,t extending overa compara-
tiveiyrm.:rfacc.
Nothing is known as to the form or
material Of the sides Of these subma-
rine mountains. They may be very
prccipitous and very rugged ; so steep
where they decline down into deep
water of two or more miles, that the
telegraphic rope will not accommodate
itself to the side, and may therefore
remain suspended in the water for a
long distance from the crown of the
sea mountain to the deep bottom of
the ocean, or they may be of so rugged
and hard material that the slightest
motion of the rope from the movement
of the water, would chafc it through.
There may be and probably are, deep
cllasnB at the bottom of the ocean,
where again the telegraphic rope
will not accommodate itself to the
steep sides, aud where it must remain
suspended across the aperture for a
long distance unsupported by the bot
tom. The general inequalities of the
ocean bottom, to say nothing of the nu-
mcrous accumulations from foundercd
vessels for centuries, such as anchors,
guns, stone ballast, and the indistructi-
bic portions of cargoes, must add to
the dangers as to the durability of so
small and comparatively SO frail a
cord.
Another danger is mentioned in the
pressure of the water, which at the
depth of two miles is estimated at
more than 5000 pounds to the square
inch. The effect of this immense pres
sure may be to contract or rather to
condense the gutta percha to three.
fourths, onc-half, or even less of its
present Dimensions, and thus entirely
disconnect it and its present outer sur
face of wire coating for the pressure
would not compress the wire andmakc
it follow the contraction of the gutt;'
percha, as the water would go through
the interstices of the wire, and thus
be all aroud it, pressing equally
on all sides and retaining its present
form and position. This would great
ly impair the strength Of the rope, by
thus separating the materials of which
it is composed, besides more promptly
and effectually exposing it to the cor
roding influences Of the water"

Mature is gifted with something
wonderfully like Imagination forever
reproducing herself, but always in
new forms, new combinations, new
lovelincss, and her humblest tree
passes through as many phases as her
faircst moon. Now the summit is
crimson and gold now it rolls
great billow Of green, and now it
stands dark as the folds Of storm
cloud. So Nature busies herself all
the day, and all the year long, in do
ing something new and something
more for that tree when it buds,
when it blossoms, whcnit is full of sum-
mer glorics.
In the morning, she amuses herself
in laying its shadows all to the west
ward in the evening, she trails them,
like mourncr's robe to the cast, and
at noon, she bundles them up under
the tree.
What mockcry of sunset, of fame
and Of gold, when she touches it with
frost What a decoration %
land, when the Winter endows it with
pendants Of diamond and pearl.

western shore of Lake Michigan,
twelve miles north of Chicago. The
institution was founded by Mrs. Eliza

"We trust that the wise men Of the

dead forever, beyond the prospect Of

From the McGregor Times
Letter from Senator Jones.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. l7th, 81.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. 18th, 81.
Col. A. p. RlcnARpRoN, McGrcgor, Iowa.
NY DEAR SIR My esteemed friend,
Col. Heath, who is also your warm
friend, informs me that he asccrtaincd
when re reccntly at your place or in that
vicinity, that belief exists there il
the minds of many that the bill which
passed Congress making grant Of
lands for Railroad purposes in this
State, contained, as it originally
passed the House of Representatives,,
a clause making grant for the pro-
posed road from McGrcgor TO the
Missouri River, and that the said
provision was stricken out in the
Senate on my motion or through my
influence.
Will you allow me to say, through
the columns Of your excellent paper,
that there is not the least foundation
in truth for any such insinuation or
charge against me-that the bill
passed precisely in the form in which
it passed the House Of Representatives,
and that l cxcrted myself to the ut
most, and successfully, to prevent CIV.
en- the reference of the bill to the com.
mittcc on Public Lands of the Senate,
the object being, as well knew at
the time, 80 to amend it, as to make
provision for a Road to start from a
point on the Mississippi River in Lou
lisa County, to the Missouri River, at
instance of Mr.. Schcnck of Ohio, and
other spectators without the limits
of our State-which amendment, If
adopted, honestly believe would
have been the cause of the loss of the
bill at that session as it would have
been for all time to come. Such felt
confident would also have been the
case, had any other amendment max
ing material change been adopted in
the Senate. Hence, and for no other
reason, did oppose the proposition OF
Senator Foot to refer the bill to the
committee on Public Lands.
There never was time when l
would not have been rejoiced to obtain
a grant of land for either or all Of the
roads from McGregor, Louisa or Lee
County, to the Missouri River, all Of
which were desired. And l would
freely have consented to the insertion
of an amendment to provide for one or
all of them in tho hill referred to, il
had not been entirely satisfied that
any such amendment would have been
fatal to the bill in the House, even il
made in the Senate.
As a Senator, l feel as much bound
to work for the interests Of one portion
of the State as for another,-as think
my acts either in relation to Lcgisla-
tion in Congress-, or recommendations
for Office will clearly show to all un-
prejudiced minds.
Should the friends of the McGregof
and Missouri River Railroad, and the
people along the line desire, as learn
they do, the passage of an Act of Con-
grcss, granting them the right of pre-
emption or even donation of the al
ternate sections of the Public Lands
to aid in the construction of that road,
they may rely with implicit confidence
upon my earnest and untiring efforts
to procure the same for them.
Respectfully,
Your Obcdient Servant,
GEO. w. JONES.

Late adviccs from the special Com
missioner sent to Minnesota have been
received by the Indian Bureau. As
part Of Ink-pa-du-tah's band has al
ready met with summary punishment,
and the Sioux arc generally disposed
to be friendly, the Bureau has decided
to pay that tribe the annuities which
have been for sometime withheld.
The crops Of the Indians have been
complete failure in Minnesota, and
it is feared that scarcity Of food will
make the Sioux and other tribes very
troublesome during the winter.

ArFRAY IN MINNEs6EA-From the st.
Paul Times, of the 26th inst, VIC lear
that Ex-Governor German made a
cowariiy and brutal attack, on tho
25th inst, upon Mr.. Wilson, q men,
Der of the Republican branch Of the
Constitutional Convention of that Ter
ritory. German and Wilson were
members of committee of conference
Of the two Conventions, to agree up
on some plan for submitting the two
Constitutions to the people on the
same day and at the same poll. Some
misunderstanding arose between these
two men, when German sprang up
and with heavy ebony gold-hcaded
cane, unexpectedly struck Mr.. Wilson
a cowardly and treachcrous blow on
the head, just above the left temple,
breaking his cane into pieces with the
violence Of the blow, and knocking
Mr.. Wilson and the chair upon which
he sat both over ON the floor and
then, while Wilson was almost stun.
ned, followed up his first cowardly at
tack by striking him several blows
with his fist while he was lying upon
the floor.
Col. Aldrich, as soon as possible,
caught hold of German to prevent his
repeating his blows. Mr.. Wilson then
quickly obtained his feet, and scizinS
his own cane, rushed towards German
when the cowardly fellow cried out
in great terror, don't let him hit me
don't let him hit me with that cane =
forgetting that he had just taken VIII
son by surprise in cowardly manner
and broken his cane over his head.
This man German is becoming
somewhat notorious. 1t is but q short
time since he was whipped in tht
streets Of st. Anthony, by Col. No
blcs.
