NUMBER I.

Leaving Spring Green BY private con-
veyance, on Friday, the 18th inst, the
writer made his way toward the Getty CT
bluffs" Baraboo; over the ridge to ilar-
risburg, then on toward Prairie du Sac,
the sun disappearing and a glowing moon
appearing in its stead, made the journey
pleasant after the heat Of the day, and,
amid tho ever changing scenes and shades,
filed the mind with romantic sclitari-
ness bewitching in its rarity and subdued
sweetness.
Parallel with the river, but inside of the
range Of bluffs which skirt it, our road
wound and curved itself, round, over, and
past the hills, across or along the valleys,
through sand and soil, past hop yards,
farms, houses and novels. We sped along,
crossing. Honey Greek by the old stone
mill, standing so silent and lonely in the
shimmering light Of Luna's beams, root
less and dilapidated, like some grey old :
world ruins of hall or abbey; away, over
and through long stretch of sand, then
northward past thrifty orchards and hand
some yards, whose wealth of shade trees
half reveals, half conceals, the pleasant
and, some at least; costly homes buried
amid their dense and clustering foliage.
IN tho west road to Kings Corners, then
easterly, till we swept past large church
with its convenient cemetery, and then up
the "bluffs" we climb. Higher, higher
still, as we 90, till we sweep round the up
ner edrc Of the basin, which holds the
Devils Lake, 400 feet below, and away up
hill and down, over rut and rock, till we
cross railroad track, rattle over long
bridge, and find ourselves in town, and at
stand to find quarters for the nigh.
4 charactc~, whom We had passed on
the road, and who seemed TO be driver
mail carrier, guard and passenger allrolled
into one, of a dissolute looking stage
coach he was endeavoying to steer down
the steep and rugged road few miles
from town, had endcavored to instruct US
how to find mine host Of the Exchange,
but being so bewildcred with the extraor-
binary condition of himself and vehicle,
he forgot the difference between left and
right and sent US in the wrong direction,
Failing to find home or friends on the
left, we tried the right, and soon found a
door that looked likely to furnish an en-
trance, so we raped on it, till we started
things, and then raped more, till We
raped Moore ont Of bed and house
which caused US to receive an abundant
entrance and a hearty welcome from friend
Moore. More anon, **

- Gen. Grant has never been defeated
and never will be.-Horace Greeley.
Gen. Grant will be far better qualified
for that momcntous trust in 1872, than he
was in 1868. Horace Greeley's speech,
January 9th, 1871
AS to secession, 1 have said repeatedly
and here repeat if the people of the Slave
States, or Of the cotton States alone, really
wish to get out of the Union, l am in
favor Of letting them out If their votes
shall indicate their settled resolve to get
out Of the Union, I will do all | can 10
help them get out a. an early day.-Hor-
ace Greeley, over his own signature Jan
nary IS, 1861.
And now, to-day, if the nation were to
be imperled, and there were just two
modes of saving it, to trust 20 the chances
of civil war, or the chances of a free vote
of the Southern people, [ would very
greatlcy prefer to take the latter chance
rather than the rorner.-Horace Greeley
Pittsburg speech, Sept. 10th, 1872, as re-
ported in the New York Tribune.
The personal views Of Mr.. Greeley
impel him to deprecate Democratic
National triumph as one of the creates
national calamities.--N Y Tribune, Aug
IS, 1871.

davif are these: Ar. o. G Smith, an en-
nlovee of the CHRONICLE, having facilities
for knowing many things which might be
made public or used to the disadvantage
of his employers, was publicly charged
with the political letterspublished in the
Democrat over the nom de plume, Liberal
charge was correct. Mr. Smith declined
to say that it vas or was not, aud was
dischar ged.
Now, we contend that the discharge
was not only justifable, but absolutely
demanded by the circumstances. The
charge against Mr.. Smith reTnaining IN
denied, it would Of course be accepted as
true. Mr.. Wrigglesworth, had he retained
Mr. Smith in his employ, would Of necss-
ity have been obliged to exercise survell-
ancc over him, that he might have as little
opportunity as possible to procure in the
office information which if published
would be detrimental to the cause for which
Mr.. W. labored. Rather than have such a
state Of things, was it not better for
| both parties that Mr. Smith should leave
the office
Mr.. Smith, by his affidavit, says that
be was discharged because he ao0uyd fle'th-
er admit nor deny the authorship Of thf
letters not because Of political sentiments
as stated by Liberal Republican" It
has been known to Mr.. Wrigglesworth
and many others for months before his
discharge that Smith was a Greeleyite
yet he was retained in the Office. + his
political sentiments were the cause Of his
dismissal why was he not shipped si1
months ago the same cause existed ther
as in July.

More anon,
From the Lakes.

DEAR SIR II have been asked by sew
eral of the Dodgevile people who are at
present in this part Of the country, (and
who expected to see something flom the
pen of S. Northey, Esq on his visit to
Lake Superior,) to write you, and give
You some idea of this place and its sur
roundings. Portage Lake, from the entry
to its head, is about thirty miles long and
about fifteen miles from the entry from
Lake Superior is Houghton, the county
seat of Houghton county, and hancock,
each town on either side Of the Lake.
Both towns are situated on rising ground.
On leaving the town Of Hancock we meet
with Quincy Hill, which is about II miles
in length. 1t will amply repay lover of
nature to visit that pace, and from It's
summit look below and see the Portage
Lake frora its entry, with its various
bends and turns, to see the splendid
steamers, seemingly in enc place, yet max
inc Roadway toward US. 1t is beautiful
panorama of nature to look around you
and see noble forests on every hand, and
hear the busy hum Of life from the fur
nac.s, foundrys, rolling and stamping
mills, to hear the various whistles from
the mines, mills and steamboats,; to see
Huron town, Houghton, with Portage
Lake separating them from Hancock.
But we will leave these pleasant scenes
behind and proceed to what will seem to
some the very reverse Of beautiful.
We will visit the mines on the Hancock
side Of Houghton county. The first We
come to is the Quincy mine, which is
large concern, ana one Of the principal
ones in the county. For the month of
August this mine yield ID 40 tons-l4o
pounds Of copper.
Next comes the franklin and Pewab;e
mines, which are now worked on tribute
- three Coraishmen, who have accuma-
ated fortune by their speculation.
Next we come to tie celebrated Mesnard

Fey The following which we take from
the Darlington Republican shows clearly
the estimation and love the soldiers have for
the famous wood chopper" They know
too we'll the trials and privations they
passed through during the war, to ever
give their support to vindicator Of the
Southern Rebellion. =
By special permission we make the fol-
lowing extract from a letter received by q
man in this village, f,cm his brother
$50 you are going for Greeley Well,
beg to be excused from supporting man
who trains with the crowd of rebels
thieves, X. K. KS, that H. c. does. Il
is Just ten years ago, the 9th, day Of this
month, that we were fighting his friends
ct Cedar Mountain, and from that until
the II of September. His supporters
were every day and night "whooping US
,upn along the hot and weary road, from
Cedar Mountain to Antietan, and until
forget those days of blazing sun, binding
dust, and parching thirst; those night
made hideous and sleeplcss by rebel shot
and shell, and sudden chargo-until mem
orr ceases to bring all these before me
so long sha my vote be cast for the party
which saved our nation, instead Of for the
party which struck at the nations life,
and instead Of for the man who said, as
did Fl. G. that the 'south had right to
secede," and again, that "the planters
should be remuaerated for their slaves"
lie is the most infamous, lying time
serving, old dotard on the face Of The
globe, to day.

A Discovery !

In looking over the files Of the La Fay
cite County Independent, published az
this place and edited by Hon. II. II. Gray,
we find the answer to two queries, which
have been repeatedly propounded in our
hearing.
The first query is, Why did Allen " ar
den leave the Democratic party and join
the Republican We quote from the
issue of October "A, 1868:
"The Republican party haven't got
brains enough to run this government in
tines of peace, much less in times Of war
Allen Warden"
The next question is, Why did he re-
turn to the Democratic party? Wequote
from the same issue:
Z" am lying up ammunition to give these
Republicans fits when this war is over
Oh I will.-Allen Warden
lie joined US to furnish brains to carry
on the government, and to collect ammuni-
ton with which to give US fits. We have
had the use of his brains for about eight
years, and have consequently succeeded
IN running the government We should
not now complain if he administers the
fits he has been preparing for us.-Dar-
lingt0n Republican.

Didn't Like Mutton.

A good story is told Of the recent
excellent performance of Handle s
Messiah at the Broadway Baptist
Church. A farmer took his wife to
hear the grand music, SO splendidly
rendered on that occasion, and after
listening With apparent enjoyment,
the pair became SUDDENLY interested in
one Of the grand choruses',: eve all,
like sheep, have gone astray' First,
a sharp soprano voice exclaimed
eve all, like sheep"
Next deep bass voice uttered, in
the most earnest tones
1--WE all, like sheep
Then all the singers at once assert
ed
eve all, like sheep"
"Darl1'd if I do |" exclaimed old
rusticus TO his partner. [ like beef and
bacon, but I can't bear sheep meat p
There was an audible litter in tl:at
vicinity, but the splendid music at
tractcd attention from tEo pair and
hey quietly Slipped out.-Lonis-

g-y- Last weeks Democrat contained
something purporting to be an affidavit
from o. G. Smith, iel.tiva to his discharge
from this Office That Mr.. Smith was
discharged from our employ is fact, but,
that he was discharged for the reason
stated in that affidavit is false. Not half
She conversation that he reports ever took
place. lie has wifully misconst ued near
~ every sentence in the whole production.
lie was not discharged because he was a
Greeley man, because he was that or "any-
thing to beat Grant" over year and half
ago. Still be was working for US in this
Office all that time We have never found
it necessary to employ party men. We
have had The most bitter Democrats to
work for US, but they knew enough to
keep their place, mind their own business
and not try TO injure their employers. In
order to show what some Of our newspa-
per men think of the matter at its present
stage, we publish the following from the
Mineral Point Tribune:
Liberal Republican, alias o. G. Smith
D ubiishes in the Democrat an affidavit Of
o. G. Smith. alias Liberal Republican"
which he seems TO regard as conclusive
proof that he, The said L. R. alias O.C.
S., was discharged by Mr.. Wrigglesworth
from the CHRoSIoLE Office on account of
his political opinions hut instead Of prov
ing what he wanted to, he only proves
that his discharge was justified by his
actions. The facts as shown by the affi-
