en-, in another column, some reports from
that region, which bear as much evil
dence of credibility as any we have seen
on the opposite side, and they fully con-
firm our opinion of the non remunerative
character of the mines. We certainly
think that more definite information than
has been up 10 this time published,
should be demanded by every man be-
fore he leaves home on such a journey,
and at such expense, as is involved in a
trip TO Pixies Peak.

DEAR GUARDIAN i herewith send
you the answer to my second problem,
in the Guardian of January 9th, reserv-
ing the answer to the other, by request,
another week.
ISOLATION :: Multiply the circumference
of each wheel by the distance between
them then the sum of both products,
multiplied by 3 II, and that product by
10, will give 9749 81 feet, nearly, for an
answer.
In answer to Cono's" question in
last weeks pepper, would say, that it
would make a material difference in what
shape his field is, he not having given
the form of the field. l will assume
thats he meant square one, and will
give the solution accordingly, by analy-
sis as follows: lst If the field was to
be fenced only upon one side, it would
require, according to the other condi-
tons, one side to be long enough to con-
tain | 4 acres in the width of one rod, or
14x160; but as it is to be fenced upon
four sides, the length of one side must be
4 times that amount, TO wit 14x1GOx4
5000 rods If the field is round, the
answer may be found upon the same
principles. l will continue the question
by requiring the length Of one-side of
an equilateral triangle which, when
fenced with IA rails to the rod, shall
have as many rails as acres. A.

QUAsQUEToN, JAN. 16, 1859.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have before me the
Anerican Eagle, published by DAVID p.
DANIEL, in which there is a short epis-
tie, headed "Quasqueton Items, No 5"
which pretends to give a description of
the several different kinds Of amusements
chosen by the people of our place on
Christmas and New Year. Eve | deem
lit a duty owe to those who are SLAM
dered to reply in their behalf. The au-
thor of the g Items" says Some few
gathered at the house of Mr.. BURNETT,
for tie purpose of participating in the
dance, and we regret to say that men and
women in Quasqueton will do that which
compels them to secrete themselves by
dropping the window curtains. But you
know men choose darkness rather than
light sometimes, and perhaps you know
the reason why they make this choice .
In reply to the above, ! will say, that it
is calumny of the deepest dye-a false
and base fabrication-and no gentleman
would stoop low enough to be its author.
When it comes to this that neighbors and
friends cannot meet together without be-
ing made the subjects of censure by
some outsider, who has no business of
his own, il is time such were hunted out
in order that The finger of scorn may be
pointed at him. for he is fit subject for
derision and censure. 1t may be well
enough for the author Of the above to
speak in favorable terms Of the church,
after he gets done slandering his neigh,
bors, but | think, if religion is produc-
tive of good works. he cannot be blessed
with much of lis spirit. We hope he
will take the advice given by boy to
another of his Paternity That if every
body would mind their own business,
then everybody's business would be
minded" Yours, w. G.

TO tie Western Patrons Of the Merchants
DESPATCH Fast FreiqM Line

In consequence of the repeated attacks which
have been madefon me by Forwarding d Com
mission Merchants of Dubuque, through the
columns of the Express q Herald, for not deliy-
ering Freight destined west of Dubuque to them
when the packages were simply marked to their
care, but not consigned to them on Bill OF La
ding, / deem it my duty as Agent of the Mer-
chants Despatch TO place the matter before our
patrons as it really is, and allow them to judge
for themselves of the business of the course pur-
sued by me during the last season in regard to
consigned freight do not deny that ! have
repeatedly refused to deliver goods to Dubuque
Commission Merchants, even when the packa-
ges have been so marked, because | supposed
that all persons who shipped 10y our line, did SO
in order to receive their freight promptly and
at the lowest possible rate per hundred pounds,
therefore ! have not considered it right that
Freight contracted by us should be subjected to
any extra charges at Dubuque when it could
easily be avoided. Great care has always been
observed to deliver goods gong west to the Du-
buquc & Pacific Railroad Mt contract rates, col
Letting the same amount of charges OF the Rall-
road that would have been collected of Dubuque
Commission Merchants, had the freight been
delivered to them, thereby saving to the owners
Of the freight commission of from Ten to ~;
teen Cents per Hundred Pounds which they
would have paid had delivered the goods as
marked on packages. And further,l wish it
distinctly understood by our patrons that it
makes no difference to me, peeuniarily or other
wise, to whom | deliver their goods Ii have
erred by taking this course, it is because
thought by so doing was advancing the inter
ests of our patrons. If the Western patrons of
the Merchants Despatch wish me to deliver
their goods to Forwarding Merchants in Du-
buque, and thus subject them to the extra
charges, all it is necessary for them TO do is to
say so, and it shall be done but, they will also
please bear in mind that will deliver them on
board the Dubuque d Pacific ears at the same
rates. And in conclusion, will say, that if it
is your wish to pay a Dubuque Commission
Merchant for shipping your goods, when you
can easily avoid and get along without it, of
course it is none of my business have dis
charged my duty to you a common carrier.
and it now remains with You to say whether
the course ! have pursued has been right or
wrong.
! remain, gentlemen,
Yours very truly,
