Through the courtesy Of our friend G.
w. Limbocker, we are furnished with
an abstract of the proceedings Of the
convention held at Portvge City, on the
Goth inst
The convention met in the court house,
which was appropriately decorated for
the occasion. There WAS a representa-
ton Of the past and the future. The
past by the birch canoe Of the Indians
who long have padded the waters of the
Wisconsin and Fox Rivers The future
was represented by brig, armed and
equipped as man of>war. These NETS
uph)ricai representations we're placed in
front of the chairman's desk, and to the
appreciatve mind were doubiy charac-
teristic of the object Of the gathering.
The convention was called to order by
its president, Gov $. Merrill, of Iowa,
Geo Hyer, of Oshkosh, being secretary
Gen. Atwood, Of Madison, was made
chairman OF the temporary organization,
! and the usual committees appointed -

The committee on credentials report
T, ed, through their chairman, Dr. :. A.
Pease, three hundred and thirty>three
delegates present; among them were
men from New York, Massachusetts, and
! other eastern states

Martin; Hon A. Cobb; Hon Sat Clark /;
Hon 6. w. Hazleton; W. Ii. Dec; DR..
), A. Pease, and several other prominent
gentlemen from different sections of the
Union.
Letters were received from persons in
terested in the work, who advocated the
improvement not only as local benefit,
but as Il benefit TO the entire country. -
The letter from Gen. Warren, who has
made survey of the route, was read
and listened to with interest ,ic repre-
scented that the entire cost of making the
canal locks. etc, would net exceed S.
100000 AL the letters received, urged
forward the contemplated improvement,
as great National work, and almost Il
necessity, well worth the attention of the
Government, not only for commercial,
but Tor naval purposes. Altogether, the
convention was a success, and eylnced
the fact that the people of the great
Northwest are in earnest about this mat.
ter, and at no distant day the work will
be commenced and put through to COM
pletion. -. Boscobet Journal

AN EXPOSE OF THE GoLD CONSPIRACY. -
The New York Times publishes an Ella,
borate history of the great gold buling
conpsiracy, showing that it was the plan
of FISK ct al, by locking up $4,000
600 of gold to raise the market to 2OO,
and then, after collecting margins, sell,
throw on their gold, together with (as
they say $50, 900 600, to be furnished by
Assistant Treasurer Bntterfcld, and then
fill in their shorts at panic figures Tbs
Times denies that Gen ButterGela, or
any other Government official, WAS inter
eslcd in the conspiracy.

SPAIN AND tuBA. 1t is stated that
there is an understanding between the
Spanish and Cuban insurgents, By which
the latter are to furnish money to the
former, and when they succeed IN estab-
fishing the Rcpubie, the independence
or Cuba will be recognized II, MS is
stated, the Cuban insurgents have COW
cred two thirds OF tho island with their
rebellion. and kept al bay 10000 men
and So vessels and il, again, the Span
ish government has refused to aid the
Captain General with funds, it looks as
if the Cubans might better afford to play
their game alone, than to take the Span,

From ChatsWorth we went to the
nearest railroad junction, and took
the train for Manchester, where We
stayed one night, and the next morn
ing came to Liverpool. Along the
whole of our route through Scotland.
from Glasgow to Ayr, from Ayr to Ed
inburgh, and from there south through
Carlisle to Lancaster, England, we
scarcely see a house that is not built
Of stone. The roofing is usually slate.
Quite number Of old houses, with
matched roofs, and in the north part
of England are a great many houses
covered with tile, or burnt clay, some
/ fat, some convex. The city Of Pres
ton is the first place we met where
| the buildings are principally OF brick.
In the Manchester region about an
equal amount of these materials are
1 used, but as we near Liverpool the
/ country becomes low and destitute of
stone; consequently brick and wood
constitute the principal materials for
buildings and fences. In mountainous
1 regions the buildings and fences are
/ constructed principally of stone, while
10 the lower lands the buildings are of
brick and the fences are made of the
Hawthorne hedge. Near Liverpool,
/ however, we see quite a number OF
wooden fences. The public roads all

maeadamiZed, and are very fine. They
are usually, / should think, from
twenty to thirty feet wide. Railroads

prevent collision. The English
and Scotch locomotives seldom, il
ever, have a cow catcher or front
light. Their cars open on the sides
instead of the ends. Each car has
two apartments, called first and second
