less serious than at first supposed. The depth of

both in respect to time and money, only fraction
of what was supposed to be needed for repairs will
be really required. On the eight and nine-nile

sufficient to keep back the passenger packets which

terday, that left the mines on the 10th

Wisconsin one from Columbia coun-
ty, who left home On the 4th of Nov.
last; the other from Richmond county.
The latter had been there two months
and halt, and said he labored hard all
the time and had not realized
enough to pay for the clothes worn
out while engaged. He stated to me
that there were thirty or forty Of them
prospecting for io.. weeks faithfully,
and did not get five dollars amongst
the whole of them.
1t is generally believed among the
returned miners, that about one half
of the letters that are published in the
Border papers, purporting to be writ

it is perfectly ridiculous to impose on
the public in that way, and should be
exposed. The only probability in do

From the N. Y. HeraM we clip
the following apt remark regarding
Willard Fillmore and others Mr..
Fillmore during a visit to Cincinnati
last week, was called upon at his hotel
by the National American Association
and in response to their congratula-
lations he made little speech. In
the course of this speech, with care
fully qualified puff of the American
party, the amiablc ex-President said
that, "WhiIe he was thankful to his
American friends for their expressions
of confidence and regard, he had re-
tired from public life forever" Very
good. Mr.. Crittenden has also lately
retired Gen. Sam Houston has also
retired and at this rate we shall soon
have respectable retired list of Pres
idential soldiers. We suspect, howev-
er, that at the call of their country,
through some party convention, nei-
Their MIR. Fillmore, nor Mr.. Crittenden,
nor General Houston would decline to
"pick their flint and try it again. -
But it is quite likely that cx-Prcsident
FILLMORE, and the Texas cx-President,
Houston, will be graciously permitted
to remain henceforward, in the peace
fnl walks Of private life, in the same
undisturbed rcpose as that of exPresi-
dent Van Buren,, and ex-Presidcnt Ty-
Ter.
With the expiration Of his term Mr..
Buchanan will also retire from pub
lie life"-not with chagrin and disap-
pointmcnt, but calm Iand serene as a
summers evening. Gen. Cass, too, in
closing up his books in the State De-
partment, will be content to leave tho
turmoil Of politics to the new genera
ton, in the midst of which he and his
official chief stand most prominent
among the few remaining political
relics Of better age. Meantime, let
Mr.. Fillmore adhere TO his present
resolution. 1t is the wisest one, or next
to the wisest, that he has adopted for
manV wears.

During years past Mexico has been in
state Of discord andl confusion, SO
universally COMPOUNDED that it has been
almost impossible for even person re.

MUsCATINE IsLAND.-The Muscatine
Journal learns that the contract for
building the levee to prevent the over
flow of Muscatine Island was let on
Tuesday last to Messrs. Curtis g. Car

gentlemen IS a guarantee that the work
will be done speedily and in the best
manner.

The Republicans are much exasperat-
ed at their defeat. They attribute
the cause to various reasons. Some
assert that it was occasioned by split
in their party, while others lay the
blame upon certain individuals, who,
itappears were not satisfied with their
nominations. The Republicans had all
their best men on the track early in
the morning, backed up by one Of their
old wheel horses, who, it appears, hac
been promised the Marshalship for
past services. They drew off their
candidates at six o'clock, badly beaten.
probably owing to the heavy roads,
and the real strength of the Demo
cratic party. Several Of the defeated
candidates think Of going to Pixies
Peak as there is no hope Of getting
an Office here. Gideon declares it 10
but few days more that he will re-
main with the good people of Wilton.
The Clinton Herald says there is
scarcely house for rent in that city,
and the call is immense.
The same paper thus records the ad-
vancemcnt of the Clinton Bridge -
"Thc piling for pier No 4, which
stands on Willow Island, was finished
last Monday, since when the driver
has been idle, waiting for the boat on
which is to be placed for operation at
the piers between the Islands. The
boat, We understand, is now done and
the driver will be at work again as
soon as it can be got aboard, which
will probably be the first of next week
the weather permitting. A large
amount Of stone is now quarried, and
sufficient dressed for the commence
ment of the masonry which will be
made next week. The style of dress
ing is that known as..the rustic rock
work; the face being dressed smooth
~ for about one and half inches
from each edge, while the center il
left rough. The .up-river end of each
pier is to be dressed smoothly with
face curved like plow--the best form
for resistance to ice.
Henceforth the work will be pushed
with increased energy, and a. the
causes Of former delays are now re-
moved, We may reasonably expect to
see all the piers completed before the
first of june"
