Dear Times Here goes, trusting an

The week just closed, has been an un-
usually lively one hereabouts. On Tues.
day, the 9th Regiment, Col. Solomon, left
here to take hand in the war. The 9th
has been quartercd on the lake shore, in
the north part of the city, and during the
cold weather of the fore part Of the month,
suffered considerably. They were un-
douhtedIy glad to leave. The regiment
is composed entirely of Germans of the
poorer class and many Of the seems en-
acted by members Of the regiment, and
friends and relatives they left behind"
during their march to the depot, and at
the cars, were very affecting, and brought
tears to "eycs unused to weeping

Correspondence.
Editors Times I'm your issue Of Jan
goth, you have an editorial, in which you
say that the wild cat speculating interest
Of North McGrcgor, sustained by Colonel
Dousman's interest on the Island, has ever
since the Depot Of the Milwaukee and Pr.
du Chen Railway, was located at Prairie
du Chicn, been intriguing for its removal
I hardly think if you had been acquainted
with the facts connected with the sale of
property Of North McGrcgor, you would
have made such a statement, the price OF
Lots in North McGregor, where a title
could be obtained from the commen cement
Of sale, down to the present time, have uni
formly averaged about cne-t tenth the price
which the sqnatter sorereigns Of South Nc
Gregor, ask for their claims; so much fol
the wildcat part Of your article. Now as
to the intriguing portion. No person who
is interested in North McGregor, has at any
time attempted to intrigue with the Boart
Of Managers Of the Milwaukee & Prairie
du Chen road, or to make an arrangement,
with any person connected with that road
having for its object any change Of location
Of the depot. Nor do believe that sin
gle person who is interested in North Nc
Gregor p' 'operty, as proprietor, or other
wise, would think such change would b.
beneficial to his interest. l regard tn,
change proposed, decidedly hostile to tn
interest Of both North and South McGre
gor, as believe the object to be ultimatel,
to make crossing three miles above Nc
Gregor, and when road is constructed
West of the Mississippi, to have it star
from that point. am led to this conclu
sion, in part, from the fact that that com
pany refuse to have anything whatever t.
do the McGrcgor Road. Some of the pro
minent members in that company have
large real estate interest which would b.
d r city benefited by adopting line FUR
thcr north than the route selected by tn
McGregor company. And the County o
Allamakee Through her citizens, stand rea
dy to make to the Milwaukee & Prairie d,
Chen company, liberal offers Of land ant
donations. AS an additional inducemcn
to have the Road it behoves the citizens tn
citizens of both north and south McGrego
to act together, to he up and doing if the,
desire to prevent the western terminus o
the Milwaukee & Prairie du Chen Roa,
being made four miles from their business
center. Respectfully yours,

Turned and scofFed.
But never feel them now,
Smooth the dark hair from my brow.
