of Gregory's success in accommodating the

A friend has shown 1--WE do not receive
it, u. the last number Of the above most
excellent and reliable democratic paper,
which brings US the announcement that it
has celebrated the thirteenth anniversary
Of It's natal day. Thirteen years old
What has it not witnessed within that
time. Wisconsin has emerged from a
territorial condition with population Of
300 900, to that of State soveI eighty with
a population of 100000. Green Bay,
which was then upon the borders, has be-
come the mart of the commerce Of large
and denseiy populated country. The i'd
yocate has advocated constantly and well
all measures which has tended to make its
locality what it is in prominence among
the towns of the State, and toimprove those
regions upon whose population and bust
ness it depends for its future growth to
become one Of the first cities in Wisconsin.
1t has advocated the principles of the Dem
ocratic party SO well, that we have seen
OLD Brown roll up 100 democratic major

as long as Democratic principles shall last

BARBARIC TROoPs FOR THE BR1T1sH
ARMY.-The adoption of the Zouaves and
Turcos into the French army, and their
success against European troops, have in
cited the British government to attempt
the organization of similar corps from
their colonies in the West Indies. Some
time ago the black soldiers in Bermuda
were uniformed a la Zouave, and we now
learn that orders have been issued by the
War Department for the transportation of
three thouAnd Jamaica negroes to Eng
land. Once arrived, they are to be drilled
in the use of the latest and most destruc-
tive pattern of small arms, and trained to
serve the new rified cannon. When this
first squad has been incorporated with the
army it will doubtless be followed by
others, until the English will have black
division which will cope, in barbarity and
ferocity at least, with the Turcos. In case
of war between England and France, it
would be curious to see these troops pitted
against each other; but they are edged
tools, which the European governments
may find exceedingly dangerous play things.
Failing an enemy to contend with, they
may one day initiate the Sepoys, and cut
their white masters throats.-N. Y. Her.

from England to Canada, with the wife of
the Rev. DR.. Cummings Of the same
Church. The pair ran away from Chef

The clergyman whose wife was seduced
was heavy creditor of the Reverend ras-

bed of his money, but also of his happiness.
A photograph of the scamp was sent the
New York Police, and the runaway pair

Mrs. Cummings left husband and eight

little pin money she had, on some slight
pretenCe.

Schenectady county, N. Y, on Sunday, a
young man, by the name Of Nicholas 30
hanna, killed his father. lie first struck
him over the back part of the head with a
heavy club. The father was probably
struck senseless by the blow, and while

the brutal son, breaking the skull and
causing instant death. The News says

A MAMMOTH STEAMSHIP PRoposED =
Captain Randall of Philadelphia, proposes
to build, by stock subscription, steamer
four hundred feet long, and forty eight
feet BEEN, with accommodations for 5000
passengers, and 5000 tons of freight. The
ship will have diagonal braces around the
frame, be iron bound inside the planking,
and iron bulkheads, dividing the ship in
seven compartments. The propelling pow
er will be two marine engines of $500
horse power, and two sets of wheels. The
ship will draw but thirteen feet of water,
and the protector believes that one con
structed on its plan, would cross the ocean
in seven days. The cost of the vessel is
estimated at 100000. The Ledger says
that Capt. Randall has had great expert
ence in steamships, both on the Lakes and
in California

EXTENSIVE RoBBERIEs FOR SERIES OF
YEARs.-We are informed that an en-
ployee of the Boston and Worcester Rail
road Corporation has been detected in
robberies at the freight depot in this city
These have been carried on for series OF
years, enabling the man to accumulate, as
result Of his long practiced knavery, a
property Of some $4,000. He owns two
houses in the city, a large amount Of bank
shares, and has made investments general
ly with free hand. His salary has not
been more than enough to sustain himself
comfortably, and be could not have laid
up $1,000. In his operations as an assis-
tant, he has had woman in disguise.
The goods stolen have been taken to a
store in this city and there sold.-Boston

The Railroad.

We think, from the expressions of opin-
ION We have heard among the people, that
If Messrs. JoyEs ana LEUPs will organize
Their Company, and then make application
for tie issuing Of Village Bonds to aid in
the completion Of the Railroad to Menasha,
guaranteeing that these bonds are not to
- out Of the hands Of the custodian except
On the purchase Of the iron for the Road,
and that the iron so purchased shall be
laid down upon this Road, the bonds will
lie issued at once This is certainly not
asking too much, for those gentlemen, if
'hey can trust themselves or their own con-
stitutcd agents, can run no very great risk.
Nil the citizens ask is, that the Road be
built, and the bonds will be issued on such
reasonable assurance from the parties hav-
ing charge Of the enterprise. Let there be
rs little delay as possible-no one cares
with whom they contract for the building
# the Road.

communication Of Gen. CLARK, was hand

BE found interesting, as it goes over the

at II years of age. The daughter i'm

TIE REvENGEs OF NAPOLEON III.-An
editorial signed CO. and we suppose from
Caleb Gushing, in the Boston IraUclr,
concludes:
Napoleon, 10y the actual aid of Great
Britain, has balanced the Russian success
of Moscow by the reduction of Sevasto-
pol. He has, with the passive counten-
ance of Great Britain, balanced the Aus
trian occupation of Paris by the victory
of Solferinc The debt to Prussia remains
to be paid off; and above all that to Great
Britain. Trafalgar and Waterloo are
memories of rage AMI shame in the hearts
of all Frenchmen, and especially of all
Bonapartists And If, in this respect, the
turn of Great Britain is to come, she will
only have herself to thank-for the present
powerful and proud position of Louis
Napoleon is her work quite as much as
that Of his own genius. Certain we may

Empire, the fourth and fifth and greatest
of his acts are vet to come"

Of Minnesota, was present and made a
speech at the Democratic Convention in
Rice county, in that State, on the 3Oth of
July. After congratulating the democracy
upon the harmony which prevails in their
ranks and upon the prospects Of victory, he
said;

its secret-and don't want the Repub
licans to know it. | think LII give it to
YOU if you promise to keep it to yourselves.

and what is more, two thirds of the people
of Minnesota will vote for him, and when
they do they will vote for Green Noun

Mr.. Henry GKATTAN.-The Irish papers
announce the death of Mr.. HENRY GRAFT
TAN, NJ P. for the county Of Meath, and
only surviving son of the great Henry
GRATTAN. The event took place rather
suddenly on Saturday, the 10th ult., at
his residence in the county Of Wicklow.
Mr.. GRATTAS, as was natural, was devo-
ted friend of liberalism in the widest &C.
ceptation of the term, and was among the
faithful few who adhered to Mr.. O'CoNNELL
throughout his stormy career of Irish agi
tation. Mr.. GRATTAN leaves no male issue
his children consisting Of two daughters,
both recently married, and who, 1t is to
be presumed, will inherit his large estates.
Disease of the heart is supposed to have
been the cause Of his death.

of population, this rise in the value of

zen of Manitowoc, in the same manner, if
not to the same extent, that it benefits the
gentlemen who comprise the r. r. Co.
who have already exhausted their individu-
al available means to forward this work of

lage demand of the members of this com
pany, that they--the few-should pay the
interest and principal of the Village Bonds
1 issued to aid in the construction of the
Road, which is to benefit the whole COM
munty?
The answer to this question given by
the narrow minded and illiberal is, that the
members Of this company own SO large an
amount Of Real Estate in and about the
Village, that the benefit of the Road will
be greater to them than to most others.
l would remind such people that Messrs.
JOKES 4; LEUPs, the present company
have already expended from their private
resources, an amount far greater than their
due proportion of the cost Of this Road
aud that If the Bonds Of the Village are
issued, and the property OF the Village
taxed 10 pay the annual interest; Messrs
