Geological Explorations of the •North Some six months ago, we gave a short - sketch of 11-..

Whittlesey, of this city, his lately returned, and at our 'solicitation has given us some facts of a general nature that he thinks may, with out inipropriely, go before the public in advance of the publication of the Reports of the corps. .The party to which he was attached, have spent Alm summer -on the north shore of Lake Superior and the streams that flow from ;the dividing ridge each way to the Gulf of Mexico, the great Likes, and to the Hudson's Bay. Another party, under Dr:. Owen, in person,ascended the Crow Wing riv er and descended the Red River of the North, to Lake Winnipeg, so the British dominions. Thence by the; Lake of the Woods and Raving Lake to "Lake Superior, at 'Fort William, opposite - Isle RoYal. , Dr. Randall'a party went tip the Des Moines river - to near the soorce, aml thence across to the .Mankato or glue Earth, a tributary of the St. Pe ters;;where he was robbed by some renegade Sioux. Schornard and Mr. Moly were on the St. Peter's rivern part of the season. Mr. Prottan, Dr. Parry, and Messrs. Weeks and Haines, were on the IVBssissippi, below the Falls of St Anthony, and its tribUtaries of both shores. With the ex . ception 'of the sickness of Dr. Schurnard, and the robbery of Di. Randall, the parties have enjoyed 'perfect health, and have returned without any ac cidents _or misfortunes 'Worthy of note. The season has been - very wet and cold. With the exception Of the outlawed- Sioux, on the Mankato, only five in , number, the Indians tribes- and' nations haie given the, eiplorera no trouble: or uneuriness, but.. have-shown themselves every where, friendly and well behaved, Although the Sioux 'nation, which _Occupies the vast piaire region west of the Miss• issippi, is at war' with the Chippeway or Ojibwa) , nation, occupying the Eastern shore and its wa ters;and the shores of Lake Superior, their mutual incursions do nor' interfere with the passage of whites through the-lands of each nation. They seem disposed to sell their country to the Hinted States, but demand high pricei 'Alter coming to . ,the mouth of the Crow Wing River, which is aboni 150 miles above the Falls of - St. Arithony 7 e, the country does not appear to be of much value as far north as the American boun dary. Its characteristics are those of a low, wet, marshy region of vast extent, having numberless lakes of all sizes below -a diameter of 50 miles.— It is in these lakes and swamps that the, wild rice grows in great• abundance and beauty, occupying a greater proportional extent of surface than the -rice lands of the Southern States. The lak lakes are ..._. rich-in the choicest of vll•fresh water fish, the - white fish and many of the streams furnish speck led trout in abundance. The north shore of Lake Superior is very precipitous, thickly covered with timber, and a motley undergrowth of evergreens; the streama, 'a continual succession'of chutes and water-falls. the whole giving rise to the most-livird', and often the most sublime scenery. Abinit Ver million ,Lake, Raving Lake, and Lake of the Wonds, the country is IoW, flat and inundulated. Farther west, a.Red Lake, and the,head of the Mississippi, the-small lakes and swamps are as numerous, with more - dry land intervening ; such es sandy, pine ridges. The *aerie every where pure, cool and abundant—the whole country densely timbered, and its health perfect. It :may be thought very singular, but Dr. Nostwooo and Col- W. were con scantly • surrounded by innumerable mosquitoes, until the frosty weather in September, and were informed that the trading posts of Canada, as far north as York Fort; on Hudson's Bay, latitude 54 north; were annoyed in the same way during the warm moliths. It appears that-no party or traveller had pre viously passed through the country lying between the Mississippi, north of Saniy Lake, the Bounds- FyLine runithe north shore of Lake Superior, with instruments for determining the ger - graphical po sition of the interior rivers and lakes, or with a view to examine its topography and geology.— At Red Lake, which discharges into Red River; the season convened our friends, to think of home Which they, reached by , the way of Case Lake, de. scending the Mississippi to within two days tray. el.of Crow ,Wing river, and thence ti Mille Lac, the head of Ram River. _Along Rum River they name to the Mississippi again, about twenty miles above the Falls of St. Anthony's.---Claveland Her- Progress of American Arts. The public has already been informed that the Jackson Monument Committee of this city base contracted with Mr. Mills, a rising artist of South Carolina,• for an equestrian statue of the Hero of New Orleans, to be cast in bronze. The statue, when completed, is to be erected on Lafayette Sqqape,,iminediately opposite to the President's Square—Congress having authorized the President locate'it, and having allowed, alio, the necessa ry'quartity of copper, taken from the public ord nance, to be used for that purpose.

The Latest News, • Market Reports, ac., will be found under Telegraphic Mead. We have read the Message of Gov. DEGTEIt, to the Wisconsin Legislature, with more th an ordituul feel ings of gratification. It is a very able document; full statistical facts interesting even to us here;. and breathing the true spirit of the times in the giant— the progressive west. We review its contents hasti ly : The population of the State is rapidly increasing ; the mineral resources are being frilly developed.— ImMenee beds of iron ore, unsurpassed in quality and inesaUsible in quantity have been discovered. In Dodge county furnaces are in process of erection. In the country north of the Wisconsin more of this mineral abounds. . The Governor strongly recommend. the individua liability principle in all acts of incorporation. Ilia arguments are irresistible. There are smite remarks on the subject of the Ju diciary, that are worthy of notice. , In speaking of the evils of delays caused by the presept system, he says: °The utility of laws for the collection of debts may well be questioned by political economists when judicial relief is obtained with so much delay, and attended with such heavy expense and loss of time. It is intimated that the loss to community growing out of litigation, exceeds the amount of the debts col lected!" This is a subject that is now receiving in vestigation in every State in the Union, and certain" ( ly in a few years great reforms will be exacted o the legislators. The Governor urges that steps be taken for the erection of a State's prison, from which we infer that there are some evidences of rascality already in the young commonwealth. We copy a portion of the remarks of the Gover nor.on. the "Homestead Exemption" law of the last session : SC I trust that this humane provision will forever remain on our statute book ; it throws the mantle of protection around the unfortunate, and shields them from unjust oppression; its tendency is to elevate the moral and social conditions of the people. I would suggest as matters of detail in carrying out the mea sure, that the person wishing to avail himself of it, should make a selection of his homestead, and have the same described and appraised in a manner to be defined by law, which selection, description. and appraisal he should cause to be recorded in the of fice of Register of Deeds of the proper county. These details would prevent fraud and make defi nite what is now certain." The important subject of Education is urged upon the attention of the Legislature. On the subject of Rail Roads we quota the follow- "The construction-of Rail Roads connecting the waters of the St. Croix River with those of Lake Su perior, and one extending from some point on the Mississippi to near the mouth of Black river through the Wisconsin Pinery to Green Bay has been suggest ed as feasible and well worthy of the liberality of Congress. Among the moat important works of the kind requiring attention, is the construction of such a road south of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers, con necting Lake Michigan with the Mississippi. These and the subject in general is commended to your notice. If we do not askiwe shall not receive." On the Land question the Governor speaks as fol lows : . “The present manner of disposing of the Nation al domain in unlimited quantities has become a stri kini evil -many parts of our State. Individuals, and some are not even citizens or residents of the U. S. have purchased large quantities of the best lands, and the-settlement of the country has been thereby greatly retarded. Settlers have been compelled to pay an advanced price for their homes,„ and to in crease by their labor the value of the wild lands of non-residents, without any corresponding benefit to the holders, and the investment in many cases is un profitable. To show the extent to which this monop oly of the public !domain reaches, I would state that in one county, a single individual vrholis not even a resident of the Union, holds upwards of 20,- 4)00 acres, entered -in the early settlement of the State: Such monopolies are truly great-evils, and inducements should not be held out by enlighten ed and free governments to create them. The propriety of representing this subject to Congress and urging it to restrict the disposition of the p ublic lands to actual settlers in limited quantities is-re spectfully.recommended for your actiOn.” The Governor rejoices on the happy result of the late, war, and expresses determined opposition to the extension of slavery into acquired territories. Our neighbor of the Gazette has had several well written articles on the subject of a Plank Road from Pittsburgh to Erie. This is a new idea in Pennsyl vania, lire believe; but the utility of such communl cationa.bas been fairly tested in other states, and the rohittainplesuecess has been the result. A good, safe, permanent road is very much needed to Erie, that can be traveled over with speed and security at all seasons of the year. Owing to the uneven ness of the surface of the earth a Railroad is out of the question. It is very, expensive to keep a turn pike in good repair. All things considered, it is be lieved that a good Plank Road is the easiest and cheapest that can be 'built, and is quite as durable as any other. The citizensof Flrie, Meadville, Mercer, Butler, &c., are alive to.:the importance of such a work. The newspapemvif those places are also wide awake on the"subject. A correspondent of the Crawford Democrat, in writing from Harrisburg, states that the Crawford sad Erie members of the Legislature intend to intend ems a bill, at an early day, to incor porate a f.iminpatly having for its object the construc tion of the road in question. The last' Butler Her ald tal‘eis op du, subject in the proper spirit. That papet-says: ~W e do not know of any feasible pub lic 'cork that would afford tho town and county of Butler more incalculable advantages than the coup plet'om of the proposed road. Those who know the great difficulty and trouble of travelling from tom to Pittsburgh, on account ofthe almost capons. .ole state of the roads during not less than half the year--will fully appreciate an improvement that would be so much for the better. We hope our citizens will take some action upon this subject, so !cry important to them for many obvious reasons.e FATHER AND Son.—A. C.'Dodge, of lowa, is the son of gettry Dodge, of 'Wisconsin.

PosOay time and placti,and we will advocate it if you are not unreasonable in:the use of a carte b/ans. ,, we are not certain that we have any more right to call a Convention, than the humblest member in community. We'have earnestly advocated a Rail road from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, via Steubenville, :Mt. Vernon, &a., because we have been honest in ithe opinion that it is the true ‘ Western Route, to which the attention of Philadelphians and Pitts burghers should be directed. Without consulting with any of the active and influential friends of this route, we feel a delicacy in naming the time and place for holding the proposed Convention; but as our friend of the Commercial appears desirous for us to assume that responsibility, we therefore sug gest that all those who are in favor of the Railroad in question, shall assemble in Convention, in St eu_ benville , Ohio, on 'Thursday, April 26th, 1849. As to the place, no person will surely object to Steubenville. It was there that the /abject was first advocated with any degree of earnestness. The city is easy of access to all the friends of the Road, whether they travel by land or water—the place is beautiful and healthy, and its inhabitants generous and hospitable. As to the time : The 26th of April is not too fa r distant, we think. By that time general circulation can be given to the notice, and the attention of the public can be aroused to the importance of ,the sub ject. The rivers, at that season of year, are in a fine stage for steamboats , and the roads are generally in good condition for travelling. Besides, that season of the year is usually pleasa in. Now, we have done all that was required of us by the Editor of the Commercial—so let him go-ahead in his advocacy of the Convention, and urge Cincin nati to send a large and influential delegation there to. Congress will, doubtless, at the present Session, provide for taking the census. A writer in the American Statesman presents some etatistics found ed upon the proportionate increase of the population by Which he estimates the population of 1850 as over twenty-two millions of persons. He supposes that the present basis of representation will be increased to one hundred thousand for each representative, al lowing no additional representative for each fraction of fifty thousand. Were the present basis to be preserved, the number of representatives would consist of about 320—by the proposed increase to one hundred thousand the number would be about 211—or nineteen leas than the present number of representatives. If this basis be adopted, New York would lose four members, Pennsylvania one, Ohio one, Michigan and Illinois would each gain two, and the other North-Western States one each. The following is the proportion each divison of States would have compared with the present census : Eastern States, Middle States, Western free States, Sonthern States, The St. Louis Republican publishes a table or the census of Missouri, just taken. From this it sppearn that the population of the State is as follows: Free White males 268,603 . 4 4 . females 241,932 Free Colored persons 1,379 Slaves 76,757 Total population In 1840, the population, as ascertained, by the United States censua, was 383,702. In 1844, the population according to the State enumeration, was 511,987 ; and now, at the end of another foar years, the population is increased to 538,971. Of thin in crease, nearly one-half is in the city and county of St.Lonis. The increase in slaves is inconsiderable. In. 1844, the number in the State was 70,300, and now it contains, 76,757. Grsr. QUITMAN'S BEIVMM—A Nero !—The Nat chez Courier, in recording the marriage of Henry Nichols, a colored man belonging to Gen. John A• Quitman, to one of his masters female servants, a few days ago, says : Henry Nichols, by the name and style of " Har ry," has been the faithful and confiding body-ser vant of the General, for the last eighteen years.— Through exultation and depression, victory and de foat, sunshine and storm, Harry has ever been pres eat, and faithful to execute the mandate of hia mas ter. lie has made the tour of the United States and ths Canada., and when the infant Republic of Texas was struggling for a place among the stars and stripes, lie accompanied his master, who was then Capt. Quitman, through these perilous scenes, and while walking over the battle ground of San Jacinto looking very sad at the sight of the numerous dead, his master asked him what be was thinking about. He replied be was thinking what fools those yellow mea were for fighting white folks. But it was re served for Harry to illustrate the annals of his race at the storming of Monterey, for it will be reccol lected that General Quitman had the charge of the brave Mississippians and Tennesseeaus and was in the hottest and thickest of the fight, having several horses shot from under him, he places of which were immediately supplied by Harry, although he bad to make his way to hie master through grape and canister. But to crown the enchantment of the scene, when the gallant Wm. O. Butler fell wound ed, Harry immediately ran to his rescue and carried him off the field. While conveying the General from the field, he inquired after his master. Gen eral Butler told him he " feared he would never see him alive, as he was in the most dangerous position when he saw him last." Harry replied, with that deep seated feeling of the faithful servant," Don't you believe that, General, master was not born to to be killed by them mulatto rascals 1" When Gen. Quitman was ordered to the conquering col umn of Scott, he carried Harry with him, who was side by side with him at the bombardment and storming of Chapultepec on the 13th and 14th, and the deadly conflict of the Garita de Bolen, and final ly, his triumphant entry into the city and palace of the Montezuma°. Harry, was the first Anglo-African in the Halls. He is known by the entire army, and greatly respected by officers and men, as an hum ble, laithild and honest servant, who will bo'gladlo see this notice 'of him. A bill has been introducedinto the Legislature of New York to modify the existing laws in regard to usurious rates of interest. In that State 7 per cent. Is the legal rate of interest. By the present law, if the lender charges more than 7 per cent., it works a forfeiture of both principal and interest. The bill now before the Legislature enacts that no contract shall be void in consequence of more than 7 per cent. interest being charged, but declares that no more than the principal and interest at the rate of 7 per cent. shall be recovered or allowed, in any transaction, upon which suit shall be instituted. Thus, if a man lend another $l,OOO at nine months at 2 per cent. per month, say $lBO for the time, if the borrower pleads usury, the whole is void ; but by the above bill, if he pleads usury, the lender may recover the $lOOO, but only 7 per cent. per annum interest. We observe that several of the newspapers in other States have named the Hon. S. R. HOME, as a suitable person to fill the important office of Post master General under the new administration. The service of this gentleman as First Assistant Postmaster. General for the last twenty years, the experience he has had in reference to the postage system of this country and Europe, and the great ability he has brought to the investigation' of every subject that has come under hie notice, shows him to be one of the most competent men in the United States for this office ; and, if Gen. Taylor ,adheres to his oft repeated declaration that he would nothe the President of a party, he could make no better appointment than that of Mr. liobbie.--Harrisburgh Union. vr' ~.'.r4~.~v',<~`~~.~+~~-,'F+~-'t ~~ ~ :'~ +~ a~ ''.

Mival Engagemenl of•lliaracatbo. . . We have been favored, says the Journal of Com 7 melee, with the following extract, giving some par= titulars of the naval engagement off Maracaibo, between the flotilla of Gen. Pries and that' of the Venezuelan government : Pesaro C.s.nuto, Dec. 28, 1848. The Lermer arrived yesterday morning from the bar of Maracaibo, and brought despatches giving an account of an attempted surprise of the Govern. ment fleet at Bajo Seco by the Maracaibo squadron, with considerable loss in killed and wounded, and the bark and schooner went on shore and were taken possession of by the Government forces, while another schooner was sunk. ' It is said that the Maracaiberos fought with great desperation, and that Celia threw twenty bodies overboard from the Constitution, which was much crippled, having led the van in the attempt to board. The authorities report a loss to the Maracaiberos Of nearly 200 men in killed, wounded, and prisoiets,, while they acknowledge only 17 wounded and none killed on board their own fleet. The Augusta, steamer, had twenty shots in her, only one between wind . and, water, which was plug ged after letting two feet water into her hold ,What the effect of tins repulse may be, it is difficult to foresee, as the Maracaiberos still hold the- castle, under which the remainder of their squadron is said to have taken refuge. We fear that there is little doubt of the cause of General Paz having sustained a severe check, though the accounts of loss may be much exaggerated. Dr. Elder a Demoerat. The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times, in enticing the discontinuance of 'Dr. Eldees paper, The Daily Republic, of that city wide : ,‘ In fact, Dr. Elder, has become a sound Democrat, and we look upon him as one of those valuable accessions to our polit ical ranks whom circumstances shonld Mat be per mitted to thurst out of the way of public usefulness.. He used to be a Whig, but having abandoned t b platform the moment he became aware of its rotten ness and instability,'he is just the kind of s man that the Democratic party should be delighted to fiad in our nhble phalanx, and is the very man to do our political principles justice, by carrying the war in to the heart of Federalism, through those secret avenues of which ho has obtained a knowledge so intimate." What will the Doctor's old political fnehds in this city say to that t Mr,. Shitak. The Legislature of this State, a few days since, unanimously passed a bill, allowing to Mrs. SlittrlK the balance of the year's salary from the time& the death of her late husband, Gov. Shenk, to the 16th inst. The sum amounts to 61657. Governor John. son promptly signed the bill without a momcnt'ahes itatioo. Some persons, no doubt, will object to this kind of Legislation ; but they must ronember an , example was set by Congress, in a!ipropriating a year's salary to the widow of President Harrison. The Colonization Cause. The American Colonisation Society have recently sent out 440 emigrants, volitch has exhausted• their funds, and they are now appealing for aid to send out 570 more to Liberia. Applications of this kind. are rapidly increasing, and unless pecuniary help be afforded, the Society must become embarrassed at the very time when vast openings of usefulness to the African race are rewarding their philanthropic efforts, and when owners of slaves am willing to release them if they can be transferred to their own land. s , •S t frl I We find in the last number or the African Reposi [env, some interesting and startling facts in refer-. once to The slave-trado. According tv tbe estimate of Lonl Howdeni British Minister to Brazil, 60,000 Africans were imported as slaves into that empire in: 1647.
