the I'd of June. The worst thing she can
do; but there arc leading ducks in the
Territory who want to 60 to Congress, and
their advice, of course, is for admission
They should read Johnson's Colorado veto
if they would know when they arc well
off ...... Winona and Lacrosse, through
their papers, are having nice time wran-
Cling about the great Minnesota and Wis
consin Bridge location, the late high water,
&C., &c. Winona is beautiful town, and
it can take water without being injured ex-
cept for day or two-per contra if La
Crosse should have water visitation it's
foundation of sand would leave for down
the river. Judging by the papers of La X
that must be quite gassy sort of Sahara.
......A dress-maker in Lockport declined
to swear positively to the number of dress
es she had made, and the Assessor pro-
cured warrant for her arrest. She was
jailed, and in u few hours bailed out 1t
was 81 ,O0O, 900, wasn't it, that our pres
cnt patriotic Congress voted for negro aid
and how much was voted to protect indus
trious white women from the insolcnce of
officials !...... Some one says that gentle
punch from Gen. Thomas induced johnson
to prohibit Semmes, of "piratc " memory,
from holding the Office of Probate Judge
ut Mobile. Punches do not seem to affect
Andy much unless they be made of eau de
rie. AS Andy has always said that no UNI
pardoned rebel should be allowed to hold
Office, we see no justice in attributing his
decision in this case to political punch:
if he is SO easily affected why does not
Congress employ Gen. Howard to bring
him to taw? The RAIDS. are sorry that
Andy did not permit him to oficiate; it
would have furnished them grand howl
ing spell.
There was negro row in church at Mo-
bile: on hearing of it at Washington, Ell

Louis Napoleon, in recent speech at Aux
ere, denounced the treaty of lsl5-this
is the treaty which to certain extent held
continental Europe in shape, and its de-
nunciation is virtually throwing down the
gauntlet to the other powers. Count Won
Bismark, of Prussia, and Napoleon are
the two diplomats of Europe, and they evil
IDENTIFY are bent on war. Austria, Italy,
| Prussia, Denmark, France and the small
German States arc all Frightening up their
war tools and filling their armies to the
maximum. 1t is believed the attack will
begin with Italy against Austria. Securi-
ties are trembling in every capitol of Eu-
rope. LIN London the bank failures of
the last few weeks amount to over $50 mil
lions of dollars. American bonds are re-
turning to us and gold is shipped at the
rate of nine millions week; this heavy
export of the precious sent the premium

was blown off on the blue sea of Michi-
gan and no tidings have yet come from the
daring little seamen!
