Col. +. s. DESSIs, former U. s. Marshal,
for Kansas, is now on visit to his former
residence, In Illinois. lie is greeted by his
neighbors as an honorable gentleman, and
by the Democracy Of his State as a sterling
member Of the party. But he is one who
has suffered persecution from the administra-
ton, because he could not sacrifice his con-
science to sustain Lecomptonism. He was
sent out to Kansas, on the recommendation
of Judge Douglas, as U. S. Marshal of the
Territory. He was present at one Of the
election precincts last fall from which about
400 fraudulent votes were returned. In the
course of the Investigations ordered by the
Territorial Legislature, Col. Dennis was
summoned, and in giving his testimony, he
stated, as he was bound to do under oath
that there were not over $50 legal voters in
the precinct, instead Of the 700 or 500 return
ed by the minions of Calhoun. For this
for swearing to plain matter Of fact, which
he could not have avaided without perjury
he was forthwith turned ont Of office.

LIFTING HOUSES IN CuIcAGo.-One of the
chief curiosities at work in Chicago now is
the raising of entire brick blocks TO 4 level
with the newsstreet grades. Innumerable
small screws are used. The row of buildings
is disjointed from its connections; stout joists
sustained by powerful screws, arc placed in
each doorway, and every possible precaution
taken to procure perfect safety. The labor
progresses with great rapidity, when once
fairly under way, and it is really a remarka-
bic sight to witness an immense brick block,
with all its customary occupants goods, &C.,
rising steadily into the air, while sense OF
entire security pervades every one who
dwells, or does business there. The success
which has so signally crowned the expert
ments, will tend much to improve the city's
appearance, and fine buildings which are
now squat dumply down seven feet below
the street, can DO elevated to becoming
level with great ease.

AZ The contractors for the overland

CT The contractors for the overland
mail from the Mississippi to California,
claims Of the Government protection
for all their stations along route OF
$500 miles, nearly all the way Of which
is through wild Indian country. They
alledge that it is impossible for them to
fulfil the contract without such protec-
ton. To guard their lives with soldiers
will cost more than to carry the mail
1t is said that the administrator after
considering the matter, has ordered
the new Texas regiment to guard the
route from Preston, in Texas, to Ell Passo,
and another regiment will be stationed
If they can be spared from the Utah
war-along the line from the Rio Grande
to the Colorado. The better plan would
be to form line Of settlements along the
route, by giving the settlers gwen guam
tity Of land, and allowing for two or
three years an annual stipend of half
the wages Of solaier, to each able bodied
settler, upon condition that he remain on
the line and be ready, on call, to act
against the Indians. Such settlers would
support themselves with a pay that
would not be one-fourth the cost of sup
porting a military force. Such plan
would soon settle the route and secure a
rapid growth of population, which will
form living link, binding together the
East and West, more strong than iron OIL
steel. The settlements along the route
would soon form the main artery Of the
body polite, by which the life-blood o
the nation would flow from ocean tc
ocean, and soon subdue the tribes o
wild Indians, that rove through the in
terror plains.
The Government will expend in tenn
porary expedients, and mail service, il
the space Of five years, more than i
would cost to build the great Pacific
railroad, and at last ibe obliged to con
struct it at the public expense. In ;
recent debate, Mr.. Douglas estimated the
cost of maintaining the army in Utah
and transporting its supplies from $25,
100000 to S30OO0OOO, annually, ant
predicted that before the Mormon diff
culties were settled, the Government
would have expended more than enough
to have built the Pacific railroad; where
as if that had been begun three year
ago, and built far enough to give partia
facilities for the transportation and in
tercourse with Salt Lake, no war O
difficulties would ever have occurred.
