The Walled Lake.

The wonderful Walled Lake Il situated
in the central part Of Wri VI county, Iowa.
The shape Of the lake is oval. II is about
two miles in length and one wide, in the
widest part, comprising an area of some
two thousand acrls. The wal inclosing
this area is over six miles in length, and is
built or composed of stones varying in size
from boulders of two tons weight down to
small pebbles, and is intermixedlwith earth.
The top of the wall is unifort in height
above the water in all parts, which makes
its height to vary on the land Eide accord
ing to the uneyenness of the country, from
two to twelve feet in height I'm the high
est part measures from ten u twelve fees
in thickness at the base, and from four to
SIX at the top, inclining each way, outward
and inward. There IS no outlet but The
lake frequently rises and fowsB'FF the top
ofthe wall. TIE lake al the deepest part
IS about ten feet Ia depth apds abounds
with large AID iine fish, such as + IKE, pick
erel, bass, perch, &c. The water. is clear
as cTTsral, and there is no bRbbing or agi-
tation to indicate any large springs or feed
ers. Wild fowls of all kinds are plenty
upon its bosom. AT the NORTH end are two
small groves Of about ten acres each, no
timber being near. 1t has the appearance
Of having been walled up by human hands,
and looks Iike huge fortress, yet there
are no rocks in that vicinity for miles
around. There are no visible signs o. The
/ lake being the result of volcanic action, the
bed being perfectly smooth and the border
Of regular form. The lake is seventeen
miles from Boone river on the west, eight
miles from the Iowa on the east, and about
one hundred miles from Cedar Rapids. 1t
is one Of the greatest wonders Of the West,
AMI has already been visited BY hundreds
Of curiosity seekers.

sahouy's Reception,

DUBUQUE. IOWA, Nov 10Th. 1852.
Mr.. CovER:- You will see probably an
account of the arrival Of Dennis A. Maho-
nv from the Old Capitol Prison, before
this reaches you; but as the accounts may
be exaggerated, l will simply state that,
this evening, the ra5ble Of this place head
ed by Gen. Jones, Judge Wilson and the
Germania Band, proceeded 70 Dunleith to
await the arrival, and escort Mr. Mahony
TO his residence. After The arrival Of the
cars. aud as soon as they had espied the
"dear man." they rushed up to him and,
elevating him on carriage, drawn by the
"unterrifed," proceeded to parade the
streets of Dubuque. yelling as it fiends just
let loose from the bottemless pit, and |
should Judge by the way they reeled from
side to side, that the most of them had
been there, or very near, j. e., in the whis-
KEY shops. After the mob had passed,
| followed leisurely up to his residence,
where the grand reception was to be gwen.
Judge Wilson proceeded to expand himself
and after the expiration Of about 10 MIN
utes, bursted and sat down, when Ben. NJ.
Samuels did the same thing only on little
larger scale. Mr.. Mahony's reply was
composed Of as much treason as you could
crowd into the space Of Is minutes, after
which the mob dispersed after much yell

rE Gen. Pope has captured, and tired
and convicted about three hundred OF the
MINI. Indians wLo perpetrated the murder
and destruction on the MINI. frontier. The
ST Paul Press says the people Of that State
demand their execution,and intimates, that
if the Government viii not do il. the peo-
pie will. We can conceive that the feeling
there against the Indians would be OF
PAINFULLY intense character; but all things
considered. their conduct has pretty
even parallel with that ofthe whites Of the
South.

CoUxrERFE1T "GREEyBAoEs. " - Mr.
Wolf. at No. $50 Third street, detected
on Saturday an excellent Photographic
counterfeit live-dollar Treasury Note 1t
is well calculated to deceive, and would
never be detected at a casual glance BY one
man out Of FIVE hundred. Compared close
" with the genuine bill il was found 10 be
about a sixteenth Of inch longer and the
paper harsher aud sitter. The signatures
show more plainly on the back Of the bill
than in the good money, and the shading
Of the engraving Is heavier and darker.
Other defects would probably be disclosed
on a very critical examination. II i likely

Letter from Prairie da Chen.

Mr.. vER:-We scarcely know how
to dispense with the hebdomadal visits of
the old Herald. We greatly miss its old
familiar, frank, and pleasant face.
Yesterday was one of most intense and
exciting interest here. Our soldiers COM
posing the 3lst Regiment Wis. Vols, left
camp Messmore. Some of them 90 to
Madison and some to Racine. 1t is whis-
pered that their services may yet be requir-
cd to enforce the draft in Milwaukee, and
in some other localities.
Many of onr citizens turned out to say
good bye to the brave boys, who have been
so long among us, and we saw more than
one maiden and matron with eyes suffused
with tears as they babe husband brother
and lover an affectionate farewell. As
we gazed upon the manly forms Of these
fine looking, athletic set of men, we could
not avoid exclaiming what unaccoUnt-
able infatuation could ever have induced a
few black-hearted traitors to attempt to
break up this best government that ever
the light of Heaven shone uponl
But so it Is, and suppose it is still true
"that whom the Gods intend to destroy
they first make mad Yet this is Gods
war aud / sometimes feel like thanking
Him for it One thing is absolutely GER
tain--slavery will die e'er this fearful san
culinary struggle comes TO close. That's
so.
Our sympathies, best wishes and pray
ers accompany the 3lst regiment Wis.
