Northwestern TYiSconSin.-On the outside
of this paper will be found and interesting
and wel-written article from the Polk Co.
Press, descriptive of a sporting excursion to
the trout streams near Lake Superior The
picturesque beauty Of northwestern Wiscon-
sin, and the facilities which IFS vast forests,
dotted with limped lakes and laced by shin
ing streams, affoId to the sportsman for the
use of either rod or gun, are yet but little
known. We believe this locality to be equal,
if not superior to the famous Adriondac re-
gion of New York, and the time cannot be
far distant when it will be as widely known
and as universally admired.

CASHMERE sHAwLs.-An English exchange in
discussing the cost OF cashmere shswls in Little
1hibet, says:
AT best the wool must be dear; large goat
gives at the most about six or eight ounces only
of the gfeyish down which makes the shawl. This
down or underwood Is bleached spun into thread,
and Dyed Of many lovely colors; and then the
shawl merchants give out the yarn to their spin
ners, with minute instructions regarding the pat
tern and quality. The poor oostand," orw weaver,
gets no r;ore than seven eight pice per day for
the exquisite fabric which an empress perhaps
will wesf. But, then, really fine " cashmere"
will occupy a shop OF three or four workers for
whole twelvemonth. The plain cashmeres are
woven with a thin long shuttle alone the richest
are made with wooden needles, distinct needle
for every shade OF color; and quarter of an inch
of such shawl will often take three oostsnds"
q whole day TO complete. Ladies ought 10 know
that somftlmes. to expedite the manufacture, the
Cashmerjes make toe ar icle in eparats pieces,
which tlsey sew together with such wonderful
dexterit1, that in Paris or London many a shawl
is boughf for fl00, which Is not worth half its
price. The weAvers work the wrong side upper
most, with colored paper pattern before them
for 9 gsIde; nevertheless they attain the most
beautiful accuracy.
1t is this mode Of working that puzzles all the
imitators in Lyons, Nsmes and Paisley. Tne true
cashmere is indeed q delightful artcle-so light
and yet. 70 warm, besides displaying a splendid
harmony of tnts, which 1t has taken three or four
thousanS years to teach the weavers; for its de-
sign is ss old as the Aryans. Therefore it must
needs be initiated, and the French make their
warp and weft of the genuine goats wool, and
faithfully copy the figures and hues of the origi.
nal. BIT they cannot, with all their machinery
and manifold shuttes. match the brown fingers of
the Asiatic; and their Paris cashmeres show on
the reverse side cut ends of yarn which the veri-
table shawl never .betrays. Lyons ia bricates an
extraordinary imitation, il is true, of the Oriental
srticle-:cu with such pains and cost that the
price Is scarcely lower than that of the genuine
SrinugRur square. Could we but have the Kush
begl's goat-wool brought into the Puujsb at
cheap rate OF cost, the patient humble spinners
of India would beat Europe hollow, with all Eu-
ropes Ingenuity. We have no machine that will

VaIIandigham's Organ on the
New Hampshire Election.
The Dayton Ledger makes the fol-
lowing Improvement" !" on the news
from New Hampshire:
fsThe result Of the election in New
Hampshire yesterday, again proves
the lesson Of all history, that in unset
tied and revolutionary times in all
countries, and perhaps at all times in
young, growing, vigorous country
ike ours, the bold party is the one
which wins. And, it is our delibeF-
ate conviction, that the prompt inn
peachment, on the one hand, Of An
drew Johnson, and on the other, the
sweet alacrity with which he submit
ted, trusting in ''GOd, the people and
the courts" but without Ekeeping his
powder dry" or making any prePara-
tiOn before venturing to provoke Con-
gress to battle-unless, indeed, IL was
he who bought that nitrO-glyeerine
in New YOrk-turned the scale and
gave the Republicans the victory in
New Hampshire. Last summer and
fall, besitaney, ''pOlicy,' and dissen-
sion, characterized the Republican
party, as bOldness, earnestness, and
harmony did the Democracy, and we
were victorious everywhere. Since
October and November, the picture
has everywhere been reversed. Unity
and audacity again characterize the
Republicans, aud timidity and policy,
the Democracy. The Senatorial cleo
ton in Ohio; the Senatorial election
in Kentucky; the refusal Of the Mary
land Legislature to re elect Senator
ThOmes when denied his seat; the
triumph of the New York World
politicians, in the National Democrat
ie Committee; the inactiOn Ofthe Ohio
Legislature, and various other similar
circumstances indicate that the Demo-
cratic party just now, is not the ,'un-
terrified Democracy" Of ''OId HickO-
ry's" time.

JOsh BiIIings on the Coos,

The gOos is grass animal, but don't
chaw her cud.
They are good livers, about one acre
to the COOS is enuff, althO there is some
folks who thinks one goOs to 175 acres is
nearer right.
These two calculations is so far apart it
is difficult to tell now which will finally
win. But don't think if had farm of
l75 acres awl paid for, that would sell it
for halfwhat it was worth just because it
didn't have but one gOOs on it.
GOOses stay well, some of our best biOg-
raphers says 20 years, and grow tough to
the very last.
Tha Ia one egg at once, about the size of
a COOS egg, in which the gOslins lie hidd.
The gOslin is the goOse's baby.
The COOS don't suckle his young, but
turns him out to grass on somebody's va
kant lot.
That seems to lack wisdom, but are gen
orally considered sound on the COOS.
Tha are good eatin but not good chawin;
the reason ov this remains a profound Sc
kret to the present da.
When the temail COOS is at work hatchin,
she is hard tO'please, she riles clear up from
the bottom in a minnit, and will fte a yoke
of oxen if tina show her the least bit Of sas,
The COOS is excellent for feathers, which
she sheds every year by the handful.
Tha are also ambitious, besides several
other kinds of cuss.
But tina are mostly curious about one
thing. They kan hawl up one leg into
their body, and stand on luther aWl da
and not touch anything with their hands
take notis thar amt but few men kan
do this.

Letter from Hon. 8. M. Armeu to
Judge BIacIkmRns

We are permitted to make the following
important extract from a private letter
received by Judge Blackman, of Lebanon,
from Hon. s. NJ. Arnell, Member of Con-
gress from Tennessee. The letter was
written at Washington on the 21st instant:
al think the conviction of Johnson is
certain. . = >
1t is no time for halfway measures. The
Republican party, with the progress Of the
world in its arms, must go forward or die.
If impeachment fails, liberty will veil her
face, and reconstruction, upon the basis Of
loyalty and human rights, fails. Mid
night murder and secret graves will be
our portion at the South. Ny letters from
there are of the gloOmiest characterised,
praying, despairing! There is no peace
for the country but through the immediate
conviction, removal and disqualification of
Andrew Johnson. He sits in the place Of
Davis and Lee and heads the same idea.
Rebel leaders visit the ''White House" at
midnight. This city at present is full of
them. Mosby was here q week ago and
bought a thousand cavalry saddles. Mary
land Militia are organizing and drilling
secretly. "Kuklux Klans" are known to
exist from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
This creates no fear-nObOdy is alarmed.
But this is the situation.
"Monday viii bring us nav light on the
subject. Don't forget to "pray for ROME"

TURNING THE TABLEs.-A Demo-
Crat talking with a Republican, the
other day, commenced blOviating
hugely about the way Congress was
interfering with Andy.
"Didn't we elect Andy" queried
the Republican.
ayes, sir" was the reply.
"Isn't he our President ,"
The Democrat exultantly: oI'm
happy to say he is"
"Well then," continued the Repub-
lican, ''if he's oar President we i'll
tend to do what we please with him
and it's none of your business. So
stop your blowing. - [ConnersviIle

The principal Democratic orators in
the New Hampshire campaign were
Henry Clay Dean, c. Chauncey Burr,
and Montgomery Blair. John Quincy
Adams, jr., left this delectable COM
pany, and Brick Pomeroy didn't get
in. He was deemed superduous where
Dean and Burr, who ''can dive deeper,
stay under longer, and come out mas
tier" than any other living creature,
had troubled the political pool.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SEN-
ATE.-NOv. 6, 1860, Alexander H.
of Georgia, made his most
famous speech, in which he uttered
the following, which is in point in
the impeachment case:
"The President of the United States
is no emperOr-nO dictator; he is
clothed with no absolute power. He
can do nothing unless he is backed by
power in Congress. Mr.. Lincoln can
not appoint an officer without the
consent of the Senate; he cannot form
Il Cabinet without the same consent.
He will be in the same condition as
George Ill, who had ask Wings to ap-
point his Ministers, and was compelled
to receive a Cabinet utterly opposed to
his views. And so Mr.. Lincoln will
have to ask Of the Senate to choose
for him a Cabinet, if the Democracy
Of that body choose to put him on
such terms. He will have to do this
or let the government stop, should
the Democracy so determine"

Revenue Frauds Discovered.

NEW ORLEANS, March ga dis
patch from Galveston, to-day, says
that Treasury agents Sloanmaker and
Randall have detected astounding
frauds on the revenue here, perpetra-
ted through bonded warehouses, and
having ramifcatiOns at New Orleans
and elsewhere. Several officials are
involved. The frauds are chiefly in
tobacco and whisky in bonded ware
houses at Galveston. Four hundred
barrels, supposed to contain whisky,
were found filed with water, three
hundred empty, and fifty had been fill

a view, probably, Of destroying the
warehouse and all evidences of the
fraud. The Parties implicated have hed.

Some days ago a gang Of Kuklux
left documents at the house Of Patrick
Haney, a loyal man, living near
Waverly, Tennessee, warning him to
leave the country, but he paid no at
tention to the notice, and went on
with his work. Subsequently a large
company of men, disguised and armed,
dragged him out of his house, about
midnight, carried him to a creek three
miles distant, tied a rope round his
neck, and dragged him up and down
the creek, pulled out his hair and
beard, kicked and whipped him, and
left him lying insensible in the woods.
He was found the following evening
by his wife in most horrible eondi-
ton.
