Going West.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Satin
day Post, gives the following humorous, but in
manv respects true, account of some of the
Western States. Those familiar with South
ern Illinois will readily endorse it. If Eastern
men would fiud a home where none of the mis-!
eries described in this article exist, let them
come to Minnesota, and then judge for them-,
selves :
Jacksonville, HI., May 10, 185-1.
In your paper are some inquiries about the ;
West, made by men in the East, which 1 shall j
take the liberty of transcribing and replying!
to in my own way. The article, it appears, j
was copied from the New York Tribune, but
as i lirst noticed it in your paper, 1 send you
the reply.
To my personal knowledge, the West has
been Hooded with just such queries, for the last
twenty years, uutil we are heartily tired ol
them. We know by experience that if we tell
the truth in the matter, about the agricultural
facilities of the West, not one in ten thousand
of all those who live in the East, and have nev
er been fifty miles from home, will believe it;
of course, it is a matter of indifference to many
what they believe.
The first question comes from Cambridge
port, Mass., and reads as follows :
“ Which is the best time for going West,
spring or autumn ?”
The best time for going West is when you
have the most money about yon. "ml tt>o Kast ■.
fear of losing it. If you come in the spring, I
you are sure to shake yourself to death before
fall, with the ague. If you come in the fall,:
you may live until spring if you don’t freeze to j
death before you get here. If you come at all,!
you had better get your stomach lined with j
water-proof cement, so as to be able to digest
corn bread, bacon and whisky, for this is all
we have to eat, except a few French frogs and
billious looking tadpoles, which we catch when j
the river runs down.
Second question —“ What part of the West
is the best to emigrate to, taking into consid
eration the healthiness of the climate?”
A variety of opinions about that, my dear
fellow. Our Senator, Mr. Douglas, says Ne
braska is the best. So it is, if you want to go
into the stock business, raising an unruly kind
of mixed cattle, that will stray to Canada, in
spite of the compromises ol 1820, 1850, or,
Senator Douglas. Or, if you want to specu-l
late in papooses, white scalps, and get vour own
scalp taken off scientifically, go to Nebraska
by all means. If you want to play poker for a
living, or set up whisky drinking forabusi-J
ness, live on corn bread and bacon week days,
and slippery elm bark and tadpoles on Sun
days, come to Illinois. If you want to go
where they don't have no Sundays or nothing j
to eat, only what they brought from the East,
go to lowa ; or if you want to go to grass, go
on all fours, and do as other kiuds of cattle do.
go to Salt Lake.
Third question—“ Does the fever and ague
prevail much in Wisconsin ?”
Of course it does. N"ubody out West is fool
enough to ask such a question. Every body
shakes, even the trees ; you can't coax a crab
apple to stay on when it is good for anything.
It will shake a man off the bed, kick him out
of doors, and shake the bedstead at him until
he gives it up.
Fourth question—“ How long does a pre
emption hold good ?”
That depends on circumstances. If you have'
viHo, and ltnow lion tu ll, VOU lIUVC j
one chance in teh that you may live till you
starve to death. IJut if you can’t stand lire,!
and are not a good shot and a quick one, take
my word for it, you had better tarry in Jeri
cho until your beard be grown ; they are all
much too smart for you up in that neck of
woods.
Fifth question—“ Is land to be had in the 1
northwest part of Ohio for 81,25 per acre, and
is it good?”
That's all fudge, got up by speculators to
gull green horns like you and me, for to the
best of my knowledge and belief, Ohio was worn
out ten years ago. The whole business of the
railroads iu warm weather is to carry back
persons who have been fools enough to come
West. All the business that the railroads had
the past winter was carrying dirt into Ohio
from Michigan, to raise a lew beans and oats,
to keep the folks from starving to death next
summer.
As to the land in the northwest part ol
Ohio, it is eighteen inches under the water for ,
most of the year, aud will probably be worth ,
81,25 per acre, when water-suukes uud copper
heads bring as much per barrel in the New
York markets as potatoes are worth per bush-1
el iu Alton. j !
And lastly, he wants reliable information— *
a short article in your paper relating to the j <
subject—and he wants to go to a healthy loca- j
tion, decent land and fair water.
Exactly! Why, my dear sir, there is no
such a thing as reliable information out West, I '
unless you pay well lor it. A lawyer won't c
tell the truth unless you give him five hundred u
dollars, aud even theu you caa’t believe half he 11
6a vs.
A witness won’t tell the truth in court un
less you tirst scare him hail’ to death and make
him swear that he won’t lie, and then neither
he uor anybody else knows whether he tells the
truth or not. The preachers call us an invete
rate set of sinners, but from w hat 1 have writ
ten to you, you must know we are a pretty
good sort of people.
If you ask a miss of stout, blooming sixteen
for a Kiss, she pettishly says no, when every
body kuows she means yes, ot course.
On the whole, if you feel obliged by our
" short article,” so do 1. If you want to go
to a healthy laud, stay at home, and don't be a
fool like myself and come out West. And, as
for dccc.it laud, why, my dear fellow, what do
you mean ! You must Know that all our wild
prairie is very indecent, especially when it h
uurut over and left as naked as it was born.—
Tis true, nature weaves a sort of tig-leaf apron
every summer out of a coarse kind of grass,
but it soon gets burnt oil', aud is as indecent us
ever.
Aud fair water, we have none; it is all a
billious compost of liquid uiud, dead bulliiloes,
aud rotten rattle-snakes.
Our common drink, when we can’t get whis
ky, is one-third coU'ee, one-third prairie inud
aud tobacco juice.
Upon the whole, if you have good water, aud
can get enough to eat, stay where you arc.
Yours truly, * P. P.
The Terre Haute (Ind.) Express tells
an amusing story as follows: A fossil frog
has been discovered in the AVabash bottom
several feet below the surlace, with half a dozen
strata of mud above him ; to the formation of
■which according to well established geological
principles, a period of 6000 years each may be
attributed. When this astounding ante-
Adamic fossil was brought to light, all the
live frogs gathered around it and exclaimed,
*• Pentateuch.! Ug! Humbug Enoch! Abime
teck! Balalc! Amalel: ■' Arnold; thus express
ing their utter dir belief in the Mosaic history.

There are some symptoms of dissatisfaction still
apparent at the famous city of Erie. The Common
Council have already taken some action with refer-
ence to the “railroad nuisance” so long complained
of, .and now the citizens of Harbor Creek have held
a public meeting, at which they passed resolutions
that nuisance should be tolerated until after the first
week in June, the time appointed for the Supreme
Court to act on the same, and that soon after the nu
isance should he abated. It is not unlikely that the
disiuibauces will be soou renewed.
It is stated that the Boston Submarine and Wreck
ing Company, who have been negotiating for some
time in relation to the San Pedro contract with the
government of Veneuela, have closed an arrangement
with Mr. Whipple for working the wieck,by which
the entire wreck is to l>e removed. The statement
of the government is, that there were 82,000,000 in
specie in the ship at the time of the wreck, liesides
the plunder of the city by Gen. MoKILLO.of which
amount only §300,000 have been recovered.
Dakii;s Davidson, a celebrated naval architect
of Bo stun, proposes to construct an immense steam
ship, 700 feet in length. She is to lie driven by 16
.ofHiratr. cosines, having a fot:.l of 5000 tre ao
er, at the average speed of 25 miles per hour, and to
have berths and state rooms for 3.000 passengers
These figures seem large ones, but we are fast travel
ing towards their realization.
The Minersville (Pa.) paper makes a calculaum
that the demand for Coal u| on the Atlantic seaboard
in 1834, will exceed the supply at least 500,000 tons,
and that 1,000,000 tons of coal could be disposed of,
over and above the amount, say 6,000,000 tons, tint
will be sent to market. The demand for coal, in the
same ratio, in 1860 will fully meet a supply ol 13,-
000,000.

l An Unusual incident occurred in Washington, at
t he funeral of Lewis Alei.nzershammer, a late
Seigeant of Marines, and a member of Union Lodge
of OJd Fellows. After the procession had started
in the received order, namely, first the marines, sec
ond the Odd Fellows, next the body, followed by the
mourners, General Henderson, commandant U. S.
Marine corps, ordered the Odd Fellows to fall in the
rear of the body. They refused to obey the order,

not one left alive. Of these, twenty-nine were from
Prussia, one hundred aud live Loin linden, one

A Cincinnati paper states that several thousand

Napoleon and Cuba.
The last news from Europe lias the follow
ing item :
The Emperor Napoleon is reported to have ex
pressed his derided disapprobation ot the American
(lo.ign u,,oii Cuba, and declared that his policy would
be the same in the West as in the East, by a faith
ful observance ot the treaties, and that he was op
posed to any attempt on the part uf any power to
take advantage of an enemy, or deprive him of his
right.
The American people will never submit to
any foreign intervention in their affairs. If
the Allies think to interfere in the West as
they are now doing in the East, with impuni
ty, their calculations will be sadly mistaken.
The policy of our government must sway the
Continent, whether it be annexation, or any
thing else. However alarming may be the
contention between the North and South, the
moment the (lag of an enemy is seen in Amer
ican waters, the troubled elements of discord
will find rest; and all sections, forgetting, their
late auimosities, will unite as one, to repel the
aggressor. The moment that France or Brit
ian attempt to re-enact their Turkish opera-
tions licre, will the whole Nation rise in arms.
With the rotten monarchies of Europe we have
nothing to do. Some of them deserve our com
miseration, and others our unmitigated abomi
nation. What dynasty reigns, or where the
lines of national demarcation are drawn, are
matters of no consequence to us. We have in
carrying out the policy of non-intervention, re
fused aid to the eloquent appeal of imploring
Greece; seen Poland blotted out from the list
of Nations; Hungary lost to independence ;
and Ireland oppressed. Nothing but sympa
thy lias gone out to aid them. Shall it be
allowed to any power, theu, to dictate what may,
and what may not. be done here ? Shall an
Adventurer, sitting a brief time on the
throne of Charlemagne, decide the destiny o'
America, by saying, “ thus far slialt thou go.
and no tart her ?” Magnanimity may induce
us u» overlook for a time insults from a weak
and fast decaying nation, whose enterprise dis
covered and planted tnc first settlements of
civilization in the New World ; but let France
have the audacity to exemplify her doctrines
by practice, and she will be told by the
voice of a million volunteers, and the thunder
of a thousand cannon, that a new era has;
dawncu here, and that we are resolved to a -
low no potentates to mark out for us a line < f
duty, oi hem in the boundaries of Bepublican
Government.
The Sacked Circle, a Magazine devoted
to Spiritualism, contains it *• Vision of Life"
front the “ Better Land.’’ given through Dr.
Dexter, one of its editors. It opens thus :
]am seeing.’’ We wonder what spiritual men
would be doing if they didn't see any thing. It
is therefore a matter of congratulation that the
| celestials have their eyes open. The ••Vision’’
i goes on and says that “there are cattle here
!on a thousand hills.” Well, that is a comfort
! able thought, that we are all eventually going,
to a good grazing country. It further says
that fields of grain and grass in those regions
are laid out and fenced in with great regulari
ty. That is another item of interest. The
adventures of the Spirit were satisfactorily
ended by taking a ride down a River bounded
by high blutl’s. Upon the whole, from
this description, we think that the Spiritual
land won't compare with Minnesota. Save us
from Humbug.

QCJ* A vei y serious discussion has ai isen beiween
the independent orders of “ Have Nothings,” and
“Pay Nothings,” as to which reaches faithe.-t back
'nto antiquity with his history. The memory of man
runneth not to the contrary ol the time when they
have not gone hand in hand through the wor d
incidents in Excursion.
The Galena Jeffersonian of the 20th June,
relates the following incident as accuring on
the trip:
On board the Sparhaick, the passengers of
that boat held a meeting, one evening, to listen
to public speaking. Mr. McCurdy, late
American Minister at the Court of Vienna,
was among those who entertained the auditory
with appropi kite remarks. Mr. McCurdy said, i
that during the time he was in Vienna, he was!
invited bv a government official, to attend the j
celebration of the opening cf a line of railroad, I
thirty miles in length, connecting the capital j
with a neighboring town. With his invita
tion lie received a note requesting him to state
the number of tickets he should desire for the ;
use of his countrymen then in Vienna: he
complied with the request by sending the names 1
of some half dozen Americans whom he had in !
vited. Soon a return message covering a;
single ticket, came, saying that the expense of l
the excursion was so large, that, though back
ed up l»y the Austrian treasury, the number of
invitations must necessarily be very limited.— j
This one ticket he sent back with a note, dip
lomatically telling his correspondent, that lie:
could not, under the circumstances, think of j
making so heavy a draft upon the national
finances. Nevertheless, he used his own ticket
aud was present at the ceremony. Though,
said Mr. M. the affair had been long talked of.
and though the government desired to make it
grand and impressive, it was. compared with
what we here see accomplished by an Ameri
can corporation, ‘-mean and contemptible!”
The Austrian Vice-Consul, resident at New '
York, was an attentive listener to Mr. McCur
dy's remarks, and so kneenly did he feel for
Austrian honor, that, early next morning he
sent Mr. McCurdy his card, demanding an
apology, or a fight. We have not heard how
the mutter was arranged.
The Rochester Daily American in speaking
of the Excursion says :
The papers are filled with the favors of “our
own correspondents'’ giving sketches of the fa
mous R. R. excursion, from Chicago, to St.
Anthony's Fulls. The party was two or three
times as numerous as had been anticipated,
and hotels, cars and boats were loaded to ex
cess. Six steamboats took the party up the
river, and these thronged with pleasure seekers.
Hundreds left the party at Rock Island, and
returned to Chicago, or went to St. Louis, as
they could not endure tin* packing that await
ed them. As a general thing, the party have
enjoyed themseves vastly, and all are loud in
their praise of the magnificent scenery of the
Upper Mississippi, In such a party there arc
multitudes who have never seen the west, and
whose towards sun-set wanderings have been
1 mited by Nia .ara Kalis. Those go to a new
world iu going *• West,” and they could not
have been more enchanted, had they been trans
lated to some fabulous Arcadia. Vet fable or
dream land shall forever lack that thirst of en
terprise. and struggle and energy, and devel
opment of human power, which marks the
growing population of our Western .State®,—
N o such problem of destiny lias ever yet Inxri
wrought <ait.
If we mistake not, this Rock Island excur
sion will i»e of great l>enefit to the west, and
particularly to Minnesota. Filling the papers
with letters therefrom, it attracts hundreds of
readers, w hile each excursionist returns to re
late the marvels of his tour to his circle of
friends. Shrewd canitalists are there, far
iug si a esmen, acute j oiitieiai.s. reflect i g wri
ters. and earnest hard handed laborers are
there, each chi-- to avail itself of the manifold
advantage? which may oiler. It is tl*.«* (jucen
of .Sheba, paying her visit to Soh man, assert
ing that halt had not been told her. and wi n
dering at the inuneiH ty of the power and tl e
extent of the wealth which are developed.
