SAD EEws FROM DlxoS.-Dr. Foster, oil
81. Luke's Hospital, writes, at the instance
OF Mr.. Dixon, thus to the Gazette: 1T may
not be uninteresting to you to hear Of Mr.. J.
NJ. Dixon, formerly of the lows State Regis
ter, Des Moines. He 10 now an inmate of ST.
Luke's Hospital Of this city, and in total dark,
ness, having lost, it is feared, his only re-
naming eye. The last ray Of hope for light
to him, in this world, seems now to be Rlim
mering on the horizon. How soon it may se,
forever can not be conjectured. He is now
under the treatment Of nr. Z. Williams, the
eminent oculist of this city, and all that care
ful attention and skill eau do, is being done
for him. Mr.. D., by his pleasant, even, cheer
full, and truly Christian department, has made
warm friends Of all connected with the house
He often wonders if bis friends of the lows
Press will not remember him, and occasion.
ally send him copies Of their journals, which
his wife and nurses may read to him."
The sad affection Of Mr.. Dixon has nwak,
ened the kindliest sympathies, and the pro-
foundest sorrow in the hearts Of hundreds il
all parts Of the State, who have heretofore
read with delight the genial creations of biz
pen.

A FRESH WATER WHALE.-That our great
lake is inhabited by something bigger and of q
more amphibieus nature than the whitefsh or
the sturgeon is evident. Those who sail the
great deep and know what is going on above
and below the water tell us so, and wherefore
should they lie about so small thing? During
J the season, we have frequently heard sailors
speak of seeing fish that looked something like
a whale off the harbor. Count Mcbride, who
has crossed Lake Michigan times in the thou
sands, says he has frequently had his attention
called to whaley sort of a q fish that makes
much noise and blowing, and always with
huge pun, that can be heard on a still morn
ing Tor a mile out, sinks below the surface of
the water before he can get his boat near
enough to see and describe the beast. Captain
Consaul of the tug Davidson, wide-awake
sailor, says that frequently very early in the
morning or about daylight, when he goes out
into the lake, he has seen the monster lying OIL
the mouth OF the river moving slowly along, as
If devOuring objects that came out of the river.
On one occasion, having the wind stronglyln
his favor, be bore away for the fish, and was
enabled to get SO near that he could plainly
see its back, which seemed formed like that OF
whale, with huge fins attached, that looked
big enough to destroy q boat at one blow. Up
ON discovering the tug steaming toward It, the
fish on beast, whichever 1t was, uttered low
moaning sound as If very much frightened,
and then blowing loud blast, il sunk The
captain cruised about the spot for some time,
but no trace of the fish was afterwards seen
It is described as being much larger than any
sturgeon which has ever been seen in the
lakes, some of those who have seen it estinlat,
ing its length at fully sixteen feet. Its head
is large and its jaws capacous. -t
As another evidence that there are monsters
of the deep in the lake, we have the taft OF
the finding of large-sized fish on the banks,
which have evidently been bitten in two by
something not of their species--something of
the shark species, that is fond of q deleciable
meal, and likes it on the wing.-Milaodukee

AN ARCTIC Boar JOURNEY, in the autumn of
ISoi: by Isaac L. Hayes, Nj. d., Surgeon of
the Second Grinnell Expedition, author Of
The onan Polar Sea."-Boston: Tieknor
and Fields
This is new edition, enlarged and illustrate

o'pt'on ON its first appearance half a dozen
years ago. 1t will be remembered that, in the
autumn of 1854, eight persons, being a portion

aoSe"' uul'ns nearly four months, and they re-
turned 70 the orig unsuccessful. The story of
their adventures and discoveries is. however,
full of interest; and DIR. Hayes, To whom the
direction Of the expedition was committed bv
DIR. Kane, has told it well in the book before
us. The fresh interest which the publication
Of the authors "Open Polar Sea" has excited
in the subject Of Arctic discovery has led to a
republication Of the present work,-a work
which may BE- regarded as the precursor Of DIR.
Hayes later one, inasmueh as the discoveries
recorded in The Open Polar Sea- were made
upon the basis Of plans announced in the
Boat Journey" In note TO the publishers,

NEW JULEsBURG, the present terminus Of
the Union Pacific Railroad, is either place OF
great expectations" or the special correspond
ent of the Missouri Democrat has an imagina-
tion OF several Arabian Nights-power. Accord
ing to that enthusiastic authority the present
and prospective condition of the settlement is
as follows:
New Julesburg was settled by Messrs Allen
and Seward. Although it has only popula-
ton as yet of forty men and one woman, in
six months it will have population of $500
souls. North Platte intends general exodus
to New Julesburg. Next week it will have q
newspaper called the Frontier Index, publish
ed. In two weeks the town will be city-the
city will have mayor. In three weeks we
predict that it will have a theatre. In four
weeks the citizens will have branch railroad
to Denver and st. Louis. In six weeks New
Julesburg will be the capital of Colorado. Col
orado will be State, and statesmen will gath
er from the east and west to see this prodigy OF
modern times. Such is q brief sketch of the
present position and future destiny of this
Western town. Beuyeuk il Allohi 7" f

ANOTHER PRINCELY VIsIToR.-The Wash
ington Chronicle, probably on official author
ity, confirms the statement made by foreign
papers that the Russian Grand Duke Alexis is
about making tour which will include the
United States. Alexis is the third son of the
Emperor. He is in his eighteenth year, and is
Colonel of an infantry regiment After a visit
to Constantinople he left that city in the last
ofJune to visit the monasteries OF the Greek
Church. He is then to go to Cadiz, where he
will embark on the frigate Alexander Newski,
in which he win visit the West Indies, and
then come to this country, landing first at New
Orleans, and extending his journey to Mobile.
He is expected in Washington early in October,

correspondent OF the Springfield Republican
writes: "s Aa
Just before the adjournment of Congress,
three or four of the oldest Republicans in il
called upon Gen. Grant and had long con
yersation upon current political events. He
knew well enough what their object was-that
they desired to know if he was sound enough
to run for President. They found out two
very important facts, firstly, that he is with
Congress in its scheme of reconstructiou and
consequently against the President, and sec
ondly, that he is for manhood suffrage. On
this head he has made rapid progress Last
winter he used to talk after this fashion: "1m-
partial suffrage is coming, but the prejudices
OF the people are strong, and / would humor
them, and | confess it does seem a little hard
that we should force equal suffrage upon the
South, when we lack the moral courage to en-
force it at home. He used almost exactly this
language this winter, but he talks in differ
ent strain now. He says now that manhood
suffrage has been established at the South,
and the North must follow and make it uni
versal. He believes it impossible to stop now
in the manhood suffrage movement, and the
part OF wisdom is to make it universal as
quickly as can be. But he does not believe

A distinguished Californian, who is stay

which each assumed a puglistic attitude, and

THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-T. J. Carter,
Esq, Government Director of the Union Pa
cific Railroad, reports to the Secretary of the
Interior, under date of Omaha, July 23, in
formation touching the progress OF that
road. He states that the road is in operation
for traffic to Julesburg, 377 miles; the track
laid 41O miles, and grading completed $50
miles, and in active progress, with efficient
force to Cheyenne, near the base ofthe Rocky
Mountains, 597 miles. There has been some
delay in the delivery of iron, from difficulty in
crossing the Missouri during high water, at
three several periods this season, much enbar-
RAISING the operations of the road, and demon
strating the great Importance of bridging the
river at the earliest period practicable for the
interest of the Company and the public.
Large quantities of iron material, engines,
and cars are now waiting delivery across the
river at this point, causing delay in the prog
ress of the road, which is likely to occur often
unless a permanent bridge is erected. j.
