Geological Explorations of the •North
Some six months ago, we gave a short - sketch
of 11-.. Government Sunny, with'reference tovniner

Superior, and the upper Mississippi. One of the
extdorers„Sol. Whittlesey, of this city, his lately

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

Lake Winnipeg, so the British dominions. Thence

'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

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

the country is IoW, flat and inundulated. Farther

New Orleans, to be cast in bronze. The statue,
when completed, is to be erected on Lafayette

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

The Cincinnati Commercial seconds our, sugges
t* le relation to the hildirieef a - Convention on
-
the Atiubject of a WesterWißallioad.. That paper
I ; naymcr ; :pkre second the sogrestioh or the Post,. and
brii.vention will beheld on this` subject:., NU.
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

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

has become a sound Democrat, and we look upon

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.

We find in the last number or the African Reposi

of Lonl Howdeni British Minister to Brazil, 60,000
Africans were imported as slaves into that empire in:
1647. One vessel alone made five successful

three thousand slaves. Of 62 slave vessels sailing
from Rio de Janorio in 1546, fifteen were Ameri

the offiCer), he must be punished or he may put his
threats against your life in 'execuiion." She at last
consented to let him go to jail. There was nothing
strange in alt this, for such scenes are exhibited in
the police offices daily ; but her story , was thohisto
ry of the decline of most degraded men: ".We
have been married two years; my husband never
said a har:sh word to me before ; I think he loves me

their courage, but certainly the fact proves - that
there is a virtue in them that should not be crushed

There have been more petty villanies during
the, past Week, within the two cities than, we ever
knew in the same space or time before. The rea
son of it is the unusually cold weather ; for the'ar

Cuatous.—on Monday morning a man wascom
mitted by the Mayor for disorderly conduct. In the
evening a friend came and paid his fine, and got a
release; but the jailor refused to let Itini out. For

the practice is new. '

the meeting to-morrow evening. Speeches will be
delivered by Hon. Walter H. Lowrie, Hon. Walter
