ENTERPRISE OF THE WEsT-The Herald
thinks that New England is fast losing its
prestige for enterp Use and public ~pirit,
while the Great West is advancing in the
opposite direction with gigantic strides.
The last great project that has attracted
pablo attention is the work of tunnelling
the lake at Chicago, for distance of two
miles-a great work, but one that is guar
anteed to be completed within the space of
eighteen or twenty months. The State of
Massachusetts, has been laboring for some
thing near a quarter of century in the
work of tunnelling small mountain called
Hoosack, for railway purposes of highly
advantageous character to the State, and
the undertaking is now about as far from
completion as it was five years ago. The
comparatively infant city of Chicago might
construct a tunnel across Lake Michigan,
while the rich old Commonwealth of Mass
achusetts is engaged in this work of boring
through one OF its most Insignificant
mountains.

his neighbOrs. There being high wind

SMALL Pox.-We are gratifed to learn

by them to prevent the spreading of this

of tie very few officers who look out for

Committee on Commerce, reported joint
resolution setting forth among other things
in the preamble, that on the l 18th Of Sept,
1854, for the purpose of extending recip-

Fremont intends to be candidate in the ap-

a Democratic pro-slavery nomination; but if
the Democrats choose to adopt his platform,
which is well known, and to vote for him, he
will, of course, be glad to receive their suf-

Tammany Democrats and radical Republicans
on an anti-slavery platform, with Fremont at
the head of the ticket If the bill to retire un-
employed Generals should pass before the NOM
