Happening few days since to be in Hud
son, l was invited BY . friend to take .
stroll and visit the scene Of operations On
the Hudson and Bayfield, Railroad, which
l gladly accepted, having heard much con-
corning this important Road, and being de-
sirous Of collecting few facts in regard
thereto.
We found upon our arrival there, some
eighty men, busily engaged in excavating
and filling in, which was . scene cheering
to behold in these gloomy days Of Railroad
troubles. The grading has been completed
for distance of two miles, over q country
rough enough to strike terror into the heart
Of the boldest Engineer. We were told
that this piece Of the road was more than
equivalent in amount Of labor and expense
to any six miles OF the work the company
have yet to perform, and that when the
bluffs were conquered they would be able to
proceed at the rate Of five or six miles per
month. II is the intention Of the contrac-
tors to put on . much larger force as soon
Is the frost is out Of the ground, and by
the frst Of September they expect to com.
plete twenty miles Of the grading. The
rails and iron for this road will be landed at
Hudson next summer, and during the win
ter the superstricture will be laid.
The company intends upon the opening Of
navigation on Lake Superior, TO commence
extensive operations at Bayfield,, and for that
purpose large force Of men, with the neces-
sary implements, will be landed there from
the first boat. The people Of Hudson and
that portion OF Wisconsin to be benefited
by this road, are much elated at its pros
poets, and they all have the strongest faith
and confidence 10 the earnestneS Of the CON-
pany to prosecute this work vigorously urto

satisfy themselves as TO the correctness Of
the statements, who will take the trouble to
do so), that we are soon really to have a
railroad communication with Lake Superior,
something We have 80 long needed, and from
which immense advantages must accrue 10
the people OF Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
merits Of this enterprise however, II is not

The Prospects Of War In Europe.

All eyes are now turned upon Europe
and the news by every steamer will be anx
iously looked for, so long as affairs bear the
present warlike aspect. The n. Y. Even

note dated Paris, Feb. g., and written by
an intelligent American now in Paris, who
has access 10 the best sources of infOrmA-
ton 1t will be recollected that Mr.. Bio.
FLOW, one Of the editors OF the Post, is now
in Europe:
Here, / think, the sentiment is almost
universal, that war must come that the
Emperor is determined upon it--that il
may be delayed little time, but that Il Is
the only termination 10 existing troubles.
1t is undoubtedly true that the utmost
activity prevails in all the French arsenals,
navy yards and dock yards. A large add.
tonsl number Of men has been employed,
and the work il prosecuted with the great.
est energy by relays OF hands, working ex.
ira hours, aud night as well as day. Arms,
munitions and provisions are accumulated,
and are transported exactly TO those points
where, il war was TO exist tomorrow, they
would be wanted tomorrow. The army
and navy have both been reinfOrced-large
additional numbers Of men have been added

The Trath Csming Oct.

Almost every reader Of the newspapers Of
the day has had an opportunity Of perusing
some story OF the Pixies Peak gold mines"
written by persons now in or near this re-
gion. The following letter, written by II.
L. BoLroN TO the ST. Louis Democrat, gives
an interesting glimpse at the other side Of
the question. The writer is on the ground
and knows whereof he speaks, He says:
Some persons have already commenced
working in the mines; but 80 far II pays
poorly. Digger who have been the most
successful have not averaged three dollars
per day, and some have not made fifty cents,
working bard at that. The gold is very
fine. II takes from 20 to % particles to
make the value Of cent The largest speck
which have heard Of, will not weigh more
than IS cents in value All the large Jumps
that you have received in st. Louis, as Pike IS
Peak gold, was never obtained in this re-
gion--they belong to California.
All accounts OF gold findings OF an extra
VACANT character are the fabrications Of
Spectators. wish to put you and Others
on their guard against these stories espe.

But as seeing Is believing let all who
wish to have sight at the elephant come
on. am beginning 10 get view Of him.
There are more than two hundred cabins
