What We are Coming To-

On Saturday last President JoHNsoE
sent his message to Congress retoing the
bill commonly known as the Military De
stuetion BtH, by which ten States are to be
kept out of the Union, and the people
thereof governed by shoulder straps. The
House of Representatives, however, passed
the bill over the President reto, BY vote
Of 135 to AZ.
Previous to the vote being taken, Dir.
ELDRIDGE, of Wisconsin, in the name of
the Conservatives members, said that no
effort of theirs could prevent the passage Of
the bill, as they thought dissolution of
the Union inevitable. They only in the
name of the republic, Of all they hold dear,
protested against the action OF Congress.
Mr. LIE BLOND, of Ohio, also said that
he believed the bill would be the death
knell of Republican liberty on this conti-
nent, and he, if he had sufficient number
of members to stand with him, would never
allow it to become law He would leave
the next Congress, with sixteen states ur-
represented, to take the responsibility OF
striking the first blow at the government
What are re coming to? Another war.

not be obliged to fight alone

IRoN DISCOVERY. j.. 7. Ireland
of Menominee, has left with the Green Bay
Adcocote a specimen of remarkably rich
iron ore, taken from a bed recently discov-
cred by him on the Menominee, about 20
miles from the Bay shore. The iron
deposits on the Menominee have long been
an established fact; and the only difficulty
in the way of their being valuable is their
distance from nayigable waters but if this
discovery shall prove to be of sufficient ex-
tent, the 20 miles distance will not be an
objection among capitalists.

Biscuit \ LUXURY FOR ALL.-The pop
ular notion that people suffering from dys
pcpsia or predisposed to that disease,
should not eat biscuit, has grown out of the
fact that the common Saleratus has been
used in the making of such biscuit And it
was right; the article is mischievous. But
light and healthy biscuit, such as dyspeptic
people may eat with impunity and with
positive benefit, are made from ID. b. De

New Way to Pay Old Debts. +"


The Madison Jonrnal of the lst inst. has
the following:
A bill has passed both Houses OF the
Legislature accepting from the county Of
Marathon forty thousand five hundred and
forty acres of land in full payment of the
sum of S20,270 due from that county to
the state for unpaid taxes. These lands
were entered by spectators. sold for taxes,
and bid IN by the county. The resident
population of the county are unable to raise
the amount due the state, and asked the
passage of the bill, which was prepared
and introduced by Senator Brown, as a
measure of relief The lands to be ccn-
veyed to the state are, by the terms of the
act, to be taken from such lands as are held
by the county, beginning in towns 26 and
extending north until the amount named is
obtained. 1t is probable that much of this
land has been stripped of the timber which
alone gave it value, and that the state
might as we'll have cancelled the debt as to
have accepted tax title to the lands in
payment of it, especially in view of the ex-
penses which will be incurred in their Sc
lection and care.

VINO SAILED THE 'SrEED ?"-On Sun
day evening last a clerical gentleman, in
one of our churches, preached on the evils
of Sabbath breaking, and instanced the
case of a Captain REED, whe once sailed the
schooner Andronleda, and made forty trips
during a single season-all because he re-
vered the Sabbath, and never allowed it to
be dcsecrated either in loading, unloading,
or sailing on that holy day.. On the other
hand, he mentioned that Of the schooner
Sped, commanded by worthless, Sab
bath breaking, God -forsaken, bible-hating,
Captain, who made only thirty y-eight trips
during the same time. As the Reverend
gentleman did not give his hearers the
name Of the latter evil disposed person, we
are at a loss who to designate, and have
made some enquiries concerning him. One
fellow, in reply to our question, had the
impudence 10 name our tellow-cltlzen,
Capt s. W. MORGAN, as the culprit,
which charge, Of course, we repelled with
honest Indignation, for those who know Kim
would rather believe that his Reverend
and lay accusers would be more likely to
violate the Sabbath than Capt. NJ. Is
there no law to protect the moral character
Of pious sailors ike Capt. MORGAN from
