CORRESPONDENCE.


EDITOR OF THE V1s1TER Through
your paper we would like to make few
enquiries in reference to Railroad lands,
outside of six miles,
It appears by the act Of Congress that
after the roads arc located and there is
deficiency of land inside Of six miles that
they can select from odd No. sec. enough
to make up the deficiency by going fifteen
miles back. Now we wish to know if they
have done this or have they merely filed
in on it with the chance of having a year
or two to select whatever they like and let
the rest fall back to Government. 1t GER
tainly would not be fair that they should
have that privilege over the honest settlers
that are coming in daily and wish to get
land for farms. And further we would
say to the company that they should be
gracious to a few sparcely settled neighbor-
hoods and leave them land enough .ad Join
ing to form decent sized neighborhoods
that they may have schools and social priv
ileges as we'll as the rest of mankind.
AIarysville June 6 1858.
in. K.
We know Of no better way to answer
the above enquiry than by copyinga part of
private letter from the Commissioner of
Of the General Land Office to one of our
citizens, in direct reply to similar ques-
ton.
Since the R. R. Co. filed their plats in
the Land Office here, there has been {:
great deal OF anxiety upon tihiis subject,
the part of those who have made claims
since July 9th, 1857; (the time at which
the lands were withdrawn from prevention
for four months, 2nafthe people have not
as yet had the means relievI..s their
suspense, for the Official Instructions from
the Department to,this Office were slew in
coming, and when they did come, were so
ambiguous that their meaning could scarce
be defined. Mr.. HAYES, the Receiver,
(tEe Register is ABSENT says that this let
ter is more clear and satisfactory than any
thing that he has received, and that he
shall act in accordance with its purport
But we give place to the letter, which
will speak for itself:
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON April 9th, 1858.
j. N. MASON, ESQ,
SIR In reply to your letter of the 18th
ult., have to inform you that &c., 81, T.
1923 R. % west, in the Sank Rrpids Dis
trict, appears to be outside of the six mile
limits of the Branch Line of the Minneso-
ia and Pacific Rail Road, and if SO your
claim on said Section will be good, provi-
ded you have complied with the pre-emp-
ton laws.
The right Of the road attached to the
odd numbered sections within the six mile
|
limits Of the route from the dates of sur
veying, making and stalking off the same,
from point to point, on the face of the
ground. But the odd sections outside Of
the six and acithisa the fifteen mile limits
of said road and branch line continued sub
ject to presumption until the 18Th Of Jan-
ua'y last, at which time they were selected
for the road by the authorized agent, and
ceased to be pre-emptible, except to per-
sons who had made bona .dde settlements
prior to that date. s.. Iii. -

ported II bill to appoint seven delegates too con

such a convention he called by n majuiitg VI the

sano dollars pay expenses. The object. pro-
posed by the convention referred TO, is to devise
ways ard means to effect a dissolution OF the

TO prevent this patriotic" State from carrying. it's
noble design into execution. Since dissolution
IS preferable 10 submission to the will OF the ma

DIR. MACKAY.

The Scotch poet is now travelling in tie South
and SO demeaning himself rs to secure the sdmira
ton Of the people Of that section, though juetiJ
considered very select in their friendships, anO
very suspicious Of strangers. Mr.. George fi'h
hugh. a southern literary gentleman has written
for the National HteHigencer a warm eulogy OF the
Doctor as a man. a scholar and reformer. In the
latter capacity, he thinks the poet gifted with d re-
markabls discrimination and prudenc. One
which enables him to discern and pros. aim the
suHefings, sorrows and wrongs of free labor
while it is utterly dumb in regard to the trials.and
expressions Of Stare labor. Indeed, the Southern
eulogist thinks DR.. Mackay unsurpassed in this
admirable feature Of his reformatory character, ex-
cept by Mr.. Grayson, a South Carolina poet who
has outdone the Scotchman by d%evoting his mag
nifcent genius to depicting theiblessipgs and hap.
piness of Southern slaves. On this subject, we let
the reviewer speak for himself.
cit is strange that the condition of the free labor
eI should be the themo for universal wailing and
lamentation in poetry and prose. whilst negro sla-
very inspires u strain of the opposite Character
MIR. Grayson, Of South Carolina, has depicted 10
excellent poetry the contented, happy and comfor-
table condition Of Southern slaves DR.. Mackay's
poems are important political and historical facts,
and independent of their pure morality, their sim
cere and ferveBt piety, and poetical ability, are
valuable for tho insight they afford into the work
ings Of the boasted system, of Free Society, which
is no better on this side Of the Atlantic than on
the other, for the New York papers inform us
that, just now, one.sixth Of the population Of
that city is receiving aims. 1t is probable another
sixth are stinted or suffering, but to proud to beg.
DR.. Mackay has thus far distinguished himself
since bis advent in this country; Let By his praise
OF wine bibbers; End by his obsequiousness to the
shareholders. lie lacks conscience and manhood,
and in the estimation of the admirers Of
these sterling human qualities, he con never hence
forth realize the ideal, which his beautiful and
hears stirring songs Lad created in the minds of
thousands of the most estimable Of Americans.
Alas for human genius when it stoops SO low.

Monday morning the corpse of a
man was found in a cellar in St.
Louis, having evidently been thrown
there through the cellar shutter from
the street. He was recognized as
Hugh Downie, a droyer from Illinois.
He was in the city with a drove of
horses. His death had been caused
by strangulation, aud he had been
robbed Of a considerable sum of mo-
ney, and some valuables beside. Gar
Totefs are OF course suggested by the
circumstances. His coat and private
papers were found in a lumber yard.
There is much excitement in ST.
Louis about this strange and awful
affair.
