Another Land Dispute

The title to the small isla nd in The Mis-
issippi in front of Prairie du CHEN, is ii
dispute. It contains about thirty-five acres,
and is entirely submerged in highwater
times. 1t was not CONSIDERED of any value
until the Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail
road was commenced to be built to Prairie
du Chen, and as the island stands in front
Of the depot of that road, the company are
endeavoring TO getit. II was understood
to be conveyed to the State of Wisconsin
in the cession by the United States of the
contiguous shore section, and in that faith
it was bought of the State by some private
individuals. The railroad company, how
ever, thinks there was an omission of some
formality in the survey, and petitions Cong
ress to make the company present of the
island over the heads of the men who have
paid the State for it i'll good faith, and a
bill is now before the Senate with this OBJ
icct.-TGal. Courier.

The BUsIN Ess OF THE SEssIoN.-The
Madison, Wisconsin, Journal gives the fol
lowing general view of the business of this
session Of the legislature:
The whole number of bills introduced
during the present session OF the legisla-
ture is 1101. In assembly 310 memorial
have been introduced, and 1914 resolutions
acted upon. The rivised statutes have
been more than half completed. and some
six or seven laborious Investigations have
BEEN undertaken and nearly completed
The report of one of these, including testi,
mony, will make volume larger than the
revised statutes, and probably quite as
useful.
Judge KEEP, of the South Eastern
Circuit in this State, has sent his resigna-
ton to Gov. RANDALL, to take effect in q
short time.

THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN HHN4EttH
AND THE RIVER PIRATES.

On Friday night the two river pirates,
who landed in Dunlieth that afternoon,
were arrested in Wheeler Bowling Saloon,
together with two Others were arrested on
the flats, and locked up with them. Yes
terdav morning the Vigilance Committee
met, and determined to deal with them.
They were accordingly taken from the cal
abose, surrounded with men, and conduc-
ted to the neighborhood Of the passenger
depot. In the consultation, some were
for lynching them, Others for shaving the
heads of the four unshaven ones, tarring
and feathering the whole party, and send
ing them adfift without taking further &C
ton. The shaving party being in the
majority, that case was decided upon, and
preparations were at once made. Every
thing being made ready, they coutmencsd
operations upon half breed. First they
tarre i portion Of his coat, and then cut
his hair as close as possible with shears,
preparatory for the razor. AT this june
ture Commodore Bogy interfered. He
said it was wrong to shave their heads, rs
it would prevent the men, if they were in
clinsd to be honest, of being so, for in such
a plight they could not approach any COM
munity, but would h. obi ged to steal to
sustain life. He counseled them to send
them out of town, and then if they re-
turned again they might adopt more Sc
we're measures.
This wise counsel wag listened to, and a
party sentout to purchase skiff, and pro-
cure some provisions, which they accom-
plished in a short time. In the mean
time one of the party had friend who
knew him, come up and vouch for him,
and he was permitted to leave A second
was sent into Wisconsin. This left four
the two river pirates, the half breed,
and another young fellow Of about 81
years of age. These four were taken to
the skiff, and they entered. Then dis
cussion arose about sending them adrft
without oars. A party was sent of, who
returned with pieces of boards, and plac
ed them in the skiff, when the oars were
taken out. A cry was made against this
procedure. "Give them the oars" was
shouted from dozen quarters. Cemmo
dore Bogy, who was on the deck of the
Peosta at the tins, lifted his voice against
this procedure, and the oars were return
ed. The skitf was then showed out from
the shore, and as a parting salutation they
were babe to take care of themselves here
after. They responded they should en-
deavor 20 do so. The fellows seemed
completely whipped, as they rowed off il
the rain, down the river Dubuque

DI-SULpHITE OF LIME.

Nav ORLEANS. September LIST. 1857.
S'r:-PerIn!t me to invite your attention
to the following in relation to the n1anuiactu-
ring Of Bl-SuLPHITE OF LINE, which
| from the first discovery of the valuable prop
critics it possesses as a depurative of cafe
Juice until this time, ] have prepared at the
New Orleans Chemical Works, in larger
quantities and greater strength than any
other establishment. My laboratory con-
tains every requisite for its preparation, and
neither labor, care nor expense is spared to
re m!er 1t every year more worthy cfthe ex-
| tensiYe patronage with which 1t has been ta-
vored. Rival manufacturers have entered
into competition with me in vain nv
Bi-snlphite having, as the sutjoined tes-
timonlals from leading city journals will
show: always commanded from experienced
Planters the preference.
It is unnecessary to remind Planters, as
they are already aware Of the fact.tt1at this
Bl-sulphlte of Lime, when properly used,
never fails 10 produce a beautiful white and
yellow chTystaliZed sugar that aiwa VS. COM
mands the highest price in this market, and
the very best recommendation it can have,
with Western and other buyers is the fact Of
phite, as they consider that a guarantee
against any loss in weight, and are al wars
willing to pay higher prices for it. The
high repute and favor in which Planters gen.
orally hold this Bi~su]phite, is 50 much a
matter Of notoriety that it is quite unnecessa-
r. to publish here and of the many hatseriag
testimonials received daily from those who
have used it, and invariably succeed beyond
their most sanguIne expectations in not only
making the best sugar ever previously made
by them, but also realizing the highest prices
with less loss in weight than by any other
process. Already large orders are on my
books fol- the approaching rolling season, my
customers wisely taking advantage Of time,
so as to have at the commencement of sugar
making a supply on hand.
AS there is not South of Philadelphia so
extensive and complete an establishment as
the New Orleans Southern Chemical Works,
capacity to manufacture with the greatest
despatch and of the strongest quality the BIZ
salphite of Lime, | am compelled to inyifes
the orders of Planters in advance so that no
disappointment may be experienced by old
Or new customers when sugar boiling COM
merces.
The best and staunchest barrels have been
provided tor the Bi-sulphite they are guar
anteed not to }eak.and when returned will
be refiIled and shipped and fifty cents each
allowed from the price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
though their merchants to specify that none
but Fl. Bonnabel's Bi-sulphlite be sent to
them.
All orders must be addressed
