Our Wisconsin Cerrespondence. Vatiry or Canaay, Curerewa Co., Wis., Jan. 6, iss. | A Voice from a Log Cabin Out West—Advice to the Starving Denizens of Large Cuties—The Valley of Canaan a Land of Promise—Squat- ting the Easiest Life After Al—A Veteran Pvoneer of Sixty—Prices of Land—Encourage- ‘ment to Laborers. Here in my lonely but comfortable log cabia, 1,500 miles from the city of New York, and seven from my nearest neighbor, I sit down, after pe- rusing & package of twelve copies of your useful paper, of which, after the lst of April next, I hope ‘to see & Copy in every cabin in this thriving town- ship—I say I have been led to write to youand add my voice to your so oft repeated advice to the citizens of fluctuating New York, tego West, and there for & trifle procure a home that hard times or de- preasion caunot rob them of; and to confirm your judgment, I shall cite a little of my own ex- perience. In consequence of the derangement of business and the severe pressure of the times, about fourteen months since I left your city in search of a farm, for a permanent residence for my family and my- self, Since that time I have journeyed far and wide through many of the Western States, but could not get hold of anything to suit me until I was led into Northwestern Wisconsin. Ilanded at Lacross,a flourishing place on the Mississippi river, and, through the gentlemanly kinduess of Mr. Lord, the Register of the Land office ther>, I was persuaded to visit this town. On the 27th of July last not a foot of land was as yet entered in it. He informed vme that it was as good prairie land as there is in ithe world, well watered, timber on or adjacent to it. ‘He also farnished me with plots of the four adjoin- ing towns, and told me to go and take my choice; that it was in the immediate neighborhood of a very extensive pinery, that would furnish one with -@ market at hie oN door, better than New York market, and where @ man’s produce would fetch ‘him more money than it would in New York city. Well, I came here in company with two gentlemen from New York, and I had got but 2} miles into the town before I was satisfied, and remarked to the gentlemen that the land suited me, and tixed upon A@quarter section. They both located alongside of me. On the way to Lacr 'ss to enter the lund, chey bought a mill site on the liue of the adjoining town; it had a few days before been entered at the Land Office tor $100." They paid u tritle over $100 to the party. Last month it changed hands again, and was sold for $3,500 in gold. Itis one of the best sites in the State, or in che world, and could not be t to-day from the parties now in possession of it for $20,000. They have appointed me their agent to lay out a town in its immediate vicinity, erect a saw mill, planing mill, sash and blind facto- ry, and all necessary buildings, to improve the place forthwith. The mill is to cut 30,900 feet per day of timber, as good as can be; the land produces trom 26,000 to 30,000 feet per acre, (cost here $1 25 per acre, in New York $1,) and the lumber when sawed is werth $18 per 1,000 feet. Beat this at the East if youcan. I am an old and experienced lamberman, ‘and am convinced that this is the greatest lumber country on this continent. ‘We have four towns adjoining us, that will make five hundred rich prairie farms, and timber withm a short distance; that will give to each farm forty acres. There is now about one half of them taken up by actual settlers, that move their families on here early in the spring. The remainder are still in market, and many of them I consider are a3 valua- ble tarms as can found in the Western country. Ti is 3 home here for enterprise, a home for industry, and soon there will be an open- ing for intellect and talent, and Chippewa county will stand up to many of her sister counties that are at present somewhat more advanced. It is destined to take the lead; for my word for itas a ntleman, when we visited this town last summer, was a perfect “ garden ot Eden,” flowers grew in profusion, deer bounded through the wood, a3 ey Btill do, and prairie heas were almost as plenty as birds, and 5; led trout abounded in the brooks and streams; we also have 2 great many grouse and other e. Wheat brings two dollars per bushel, and Greeti else in proportion. Yes, sir,soon such a farming country as this, and such a class of enterpris- ing le as are now settling it, will support a vil- I to egreven a city, and next yeac this time I ex; hese on the ground on which [am now writing, the merry pealsof a West Troy bell, calling together this prosperous and happy people to return thauks to the ‘Almighty for the blessings he has so profuse- ly showered down upon them. Iam possessed of 420 acres of pratric land, and 80 acres of timber; 160 acres of which I received from the United States government for my services in the war of 1812, on brooklyn Heights. Besides this, in connection with a gentleman from Albany, N.Y., [have 1,000 acres more, which we expect to - convert intou mammoth farm this spring, and, at , present prices of produce here, we can clear the Price of the land, stock, buildings and all improve- ments, in three years; then the improved farms will sell for $25 to $30 per acre. ‘This beautiful valley is located on the O’Clare river and Bridge creek, with many beautiful streams of clear cold water pacing tothem. Thesprings are all soft water; there isno limestone here, anda more healthy country there is not on the globe. There never been a cace of fever and ague here; we are about half way between Black river falls and Chippewa falls, and fifty miles trom the Mississippi Tiver. Some of your very best families have had the wisdom to break loose from a vacillating, precarious ity life (and becoming more eo every day,) and ugh me have located and entered farms in this valley. May God grantthat this may meet the eye of many of your good people that will do the same thing before it is too late, and secure to them- selyesa beavtiful farm, which with prudence and eco- nomy, will be worth in three years several thousand dollars, with an abundance of all that mortal man can wish for, for I do not think that in this immedi- ate valley, where there will soon be a village or city, mills, churches and schools, there will be a good farm to be got after the first of Miy next, at government prices. When I sit here and rellect what my situa- tion has been, and what the situation is oi many, very many, in your city, it reminds me of the advice that Mr. Secretary Corwin gave to a young man that was applying for a clerkzhip. He said, “Young man, go West—squat, build you a cabin—live like a freeman—I may give you a clerkshiy today—you may not have tt to-morrow; but if you own an acre of land, it is your ee your cabin is your cas- tle; you are a sovereign, aud you will feelit in every throbbing of your pulse, and you will thank me for thus advising you.” Labor is very high here—carpenters and masons get from $2 to $2 50 per day and boarded; laborers 1 50 and boarded. But in fact itis hard to get labor at any price. Land is so easily obtained, that almost every man is a sovereigu; he may go and pre-exempt land, and if he can manage to get in a crop, the first year’s produce will more than pay lor it. There are many in this Western worid—no longer ago than two or three years—that came here without a second garment to their backs, and scarcely a dollar in their pockets, who new are able and wealthy frmers, and can boast of their broad acres, got vy their own indas- try. I have already made this communication too lengthy ; but, in conclusion, through your extensive medium, I would say to the good people of New York that none need despair, for the writer of this has this day arrived to his sixtieth birthday, and he tells you and them that he intends to open 1,420 acres of this virgin soil the next season. I would also add that about three months since I located a 160 acre warrant within half a mile of the village site, for Mr.8., an engraver, in Fulton street, New York, and I have just been offered $5 per acre (in Rd for it, and have written to him to that effect. ie warrant cost him abcut $1 per acre in New Yerk, and he would thereby make $640 off of one - quarter section of land. Every person now has the same chance. Good locations sre yet to be had ; and, in fact, I think that some of the very best are yet to be taken up. If this should meet the eye of any that would desire more information from this land of plenty, direct to “J. G. Y., Black River Falls, Jackson county, Wisconsin,” and I will cheer- fully give it, and locate their land for them too.

There are now four bills be’ore that nody—the House bi 1, providing for the unconditional repea! of tbe present law; the oili com monly known as the Wilkins bill, which provides fur Meensing notels to sell by the @xrek; « bill offered by Mr. Browne of Philace!phia, which probibite the sale in less quantities than cne gailon; iso, one offered by Dr. McChntock of Pittsburg, whick provides for the licensing hotels, urents, enioons, beer shops, &c., tosell inany quaxtity desired. ‘This bill ulso requires the Ju'ges of the Courts in each county, in coniunction with the Pro- thonotary, Sheriff, Recorder of Leeds and Register of Wills to meet at # fixed time, annualiy, and vec: three competent wen, who aie rot in any way, direotly or in- Girec'}y, connected-with the maunfacture or sale of in texicating liquors, to be styled & License Board, whish shall have the exclusive control in granting licenses in their reapective counties, Which of these bills will finally be adopted is beyond the conjecture of the chrewdest taciician. There wili be a great deal of time absorbed in discussing the merits of each, and the strong probabi.ity is that no decisive action will be taken for a month. An act for the security of individual transporters on the public works of this comm nwoalth passed its second reading iu the Senate yeoterday. Tne act provides that in the event of # tule of the pudlic works, the company or perron purchasing should be required to purchase along with them, at a fair cash valuation, all boats and cars built by transporters and put on the works after the pacsage of theact. This bill ts locked upon 2y the friends of the sale of the public works a8 a restriction to em>ar- rass their sale, It was opposed by the friends of the aaie, and supported by the opponents, or those who c msijered that it is not the poucy of the Siate to dispose of the public works, The bili will pass Gnally, as sv0m us it is consicered again. Tre application and the introduction of a bill to change the venue of Passmore Williamson vs. Judge Kuno, has aturacred a great deal of attention im potitica circles here of late. A petition was received and read in the Senate a few days nince, from Passmore Wiuiamson, sgaivst the removal of his case with Kane from tne De- Isware courts to the Sup'eme Court sit'ing in Philadel- |, phia, Mr. Buekalew, the leading spirit of ne dem crate in the Senate, seid hat the dill hat been introduced by menin the party that he repressoted, withou: a fair consideration st the suviect, and that when it came up, he should oppose it and votre against it. Buckaiew’s influence in his party in the senats is grea ‘er than any other man m that bocy; there is, there'ore, no probabi 4 of arem+val of the case to the Pailadelpuia courts. The bill is looked upon as a cemocratic mew- sure, and cannot pass the Sena‘e it Bucxalew’s influence is ageinst it. The sutject of establishing city passenger railways ap- pears to be absorbing the time and a'tention of the mem- bers from Phi adel bia. @ petitions against the estab- lishing ot the various braffehes are very cumerous. trom which I shoula judge tuat there ig quite an excitement on the subject in Phiiadelphia. Mr. Buckelew offered, yesterday, amendments to the State consutution, fhe amendments reler to the State debts; municipal subscrip:ion, the ereetion of new coun- ties, and the division ot cil into single rep oxen ative districts. Ifadopies, they will make tue ousiness of the Legislavure less cumbro &. ‘Ihe House, to-day, had under dirousston a bill to in- corporate the “ Fra: ciscan Brothers of Camoria County.’” ‘This bill provides tor tne incorporation ef certain persons named in the act into the ‘ Third Order of the Fransia- can Socie 5,” with tne power to receive donations, and the property and inc me to be exempted from taxation. The objects, ss set forth in the bil, are for the pro‘ection of the destitute, and the home of orphsns. This bill drew ovt o epirited discussion the democrats at once raising the cry thet the opposition to the bill was on the ground of 'ne persons applying for the corporaticn being Catnolics. Tae subject of rel.gi us intolerance was discu-eed 1m a’l its bearings, the Catholics lauded io the sky by the friends of the ill. This till is believed to he intorduce: to estadlish anotner institution of those Sisters of Cherivy, like the one at Fxwitisburg, and cne nevr Pittsburg. The members of the lsgislature who are oppored to the preent national administration, met in caucus last even- frg and made sn atvewpt to fare the republicans and Americans, or in otber words unite all who sre opposed to Pierer’s dynasty inte oce party. Some rich scenes were developed in course of the ciscuseion. Nearly all of the members crowded upon the anxiour seat, anxious to fuse, After a lengthy discussion @ committee of five were appointed to dratt = platfrm for the new party, avd istue a call for a Sta:e convention, to be com- pored of ail shades and graces of opposition to the present national administration. to nominate & State ticket ard thoroughly organize the party under the name of—it is imporsibie to ray whut; bat something that will ps the tusioniats, and de mon- grel in its mearing. e new party, judging from the ccmplexion of the committee, ix to be ‘one fifth adoli- tionists,” ‘‘iwo fifths black republicans’’ and ‘‘two fifths American,” or in other words, they iuend ‘o put ‘Sam’? and ‘“‘?ambo” in bed together, in hopes that they will wake up as thorougbly unrred as the siane-e twins. Alreacy there isa grea: deal of dis-ati fac ion among the Amevican membern who went into the caucus; they express their fears that ‘Sam’? will be swallowed oy “Sambo.” The caucus mee‘s to mrrow Lighs, waen the ccmmittee will report a platform and the time oe fixed upen for the meeting of he convention. a rich time my be exvected—‘‘Sam’’ will find that ‘‘Samvo” is a wolly subject to ces! with. David E. Swall, the delegate elected from the Sixteenth Congrestioval oisirict, composed of the counties of York, Cowberland and Perry, is a Gouston or a Law mao either of whom he pre‘ers to Fillmore. He is tastructed to vote for the postponement of the nomivation for Pre- sident. Hon. Kick Haines, member trom Perry county, is the alternate. The election has taken place in thie district; Hon. Jobn W. Rillenger, of Lebanon is the delegats. Mr. Killenger is ons of the Senators who wrete the letter fiom the Pennsylvania Legis- lature to George Law, inst winter. thus bringing the Live Oak candicate into the field. Iam told that the councils in the district tave been voting for the Presi dency; what the result is 1am unabie to say, It ix, how- ever, generally conceted that “Law” has carried whe Gistrict. I wil inform you a& soon asl can givan the result. The Filmere men appear to be down in tas mouth about the election, and remain perfectly mum upon the subject; fur that reason it is evident that they are beaten. Politicians in this los are waxing warm; the Gemocrats and Americans ave exceedingly busy, each fring up mat ers for the coriogcumpsign. The develope- ments of the nex' two monthe will be in eresting, The cold weatber still lingers wih all its severity; this is raid to te the culdest weather known here in the last fifteen years. Tnere bas no’, in the remembrance of the o'dest inbabitazts, been a winter when co iarge « body of snow fell, and remujned 89 long, as this Ica on tke Susqochanna, at this place, is three feet thick, and daily growing thicker. A great deal of anxiety is {elt fer the bridges scroas the river; it this snow goes off with a yain, it will surely sweep the bridges on the river. Stockholders are exceedingly uneasy.

No decisive action, however, has yet been takem upon it, and will not for some tine to come, Whilst the question was under discussion in the House, the temperance men, to all sppearance, were perfectly inective and indiff.rent upon the subject ; but compara- tively few petitions wore then received against the re- peal, whilst those for its repeal numbered hundreds— many of them of immense length. In the Senate the scale appears to be turned. Petition from the tempersnce men are pou'ing in from ail direc- tions, remonstrating against the repeal of the presen law. Amongst the petitions received in that body 1s one J ™ Phi'sdelphia, eigned =y “ five thousand four hun- used and eighty-six women, against the unconditiona repeal of the law of 1855.” This peti:ion was received With no little applause trom the galleries, and called out elequent remarks from # number of the Senatora—durin which Senator McClintock, from Pittsburg, applied to the ladies the sentiment of the poet, ' Brightest progeny of heaven, where select the roneate huea to emulate their bloom.” The feeling in the Senate 1s daily growing stronger sgainst the unconditional repeal cf the ensct- ment of last seasion. What disposition will be made of it remains yet to be +een. Time alone can solve the mystery. Let their action be wha: it may, an act, affect- ing an this does the appetite and passions of the ‘people, wul meet with severe opposition from many quarters. The act to incorporate the ‘Third Order of the ran- circon Society ’’.{s still under discussicm in the House, and is drawing out a great deal of ig debate; one sice claiming that the Catholics are the most loyal cl4- zene of the ccmmonwealth—the other that creatures of the Pope. One of the main argu by the opponents to this bill is, that the power of gcant- i to euch cdrporations belongs to te court rt Legislature. This is the technicality that the lawyers are wrguing upon, whilst others who speak for buncome raise the Catholic and Jenuit question, During the ofscussion this morning, allusion was made to the institution in Elk county, purporting to ve a school, and urder the contro! of the prisau, who hed ctosed the commun rehool in that oistrict, and were avrempting w draw the public money appropriated to that district, and at the same time refusing to let the county Superintendent of that district visit the rctoois or examine the teachers, ‘he House adfourned until mithout teking any decutve ion upon the yt to wee nome rish ‘lopementa upon the subject before it is decided; both sides are busy tes rc! ing documents.

The excitement and activity in Wall street this morning were greater than we have known for years. Crowds collected in all the brokers’ offices long be- fore the adjournment of the board, anxious to get the first intelhgence of prices and sales. The im- provement in the former and extent of the latter must satisfy the most sanguine bull, in or out of the street. Outside orders to buy are coming in with great rapidity, and orders withdrawing stocks from the market are plenty enough among the brokers At the first board, Virginia 6's advanced j per cent. Erie bonds, 1871, 1; Mlinois Central Bonds, 2; New Youk Central 6’s,1; Canton Company, j; Nicaragua Transit, g; Cumberland Coal, 1; New York Cea- tial Railroad, 2; Erie Railroad, 1; Hudson Railroad, 4; Cieveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, 4; Reading Railioad, 3; Michigan Central Railroad, 4; Michigan Southern Railroad, 1$; Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, 14; Galena and Chicago Rail- road,1; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 34; Chicago aud Rhode Island Railroad, 14. The aggregate of sales at the first board to-day was greater than we have known in any day for the pust five years. Nearly every stock in the list participated in the movement. Nicaragua, Cumberland, Erie, Reading, Michigan Southern, Cleveland and Toledv, appeared to be equally active. Illinois Ce tral Bonds solu to 8 large amount at the advance. After the board the markes slacked up a little. The ad- vance in Reading to-day was less than in any other leading railroad stock on the list, while the transactions were quite | arge, running up about six thousand shares. The rise in Western Railroad shares ia the feature of the market, It is very gene- ral,and seems to have but just commenced. In Michigan Southern there is a decided corner. The street has been pretty well impressed with that fact to-day. Since the parties interested in the deve lopement of the resources of the road commenced purchasing, buyers have rapidly increased, until the stock has become exceedingly scarce, and some of our strongest houses were unable to-day to fulfil their contracts. There was quite an excitement among the shorts, and at the close of the market this afternoon a very active demand ex- isted. We know of several holders who were unable at the close to make their deliveries and the probability is that to-morrow they will have to pay pretty round prices. The corner is about as clean a thing as we have known for a long time, Ithas been very shrewdly managed; and if ; “MUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1856. the flattering domonatra- | the parties concerned intended % at ‘he start they can tale to themselves great credit fo "the success of the movement. We understand thes, large calls have been made for the stock, deliverabhe & “Morrow. Ifso, the shorts may look for prices af a, Pint or two above par.

Prices were well sustained. After the | board, Michigan Southern Ruilread sold at 100 per cent; Hrie, at 57 pencent. At the close, the ten- | dency was upward. We have ro doubt Michigan Southern will open at par in the morning, and run rapidly up. The shorts must have-several thousand | shares to fill their contracts, and it-will be difficult to get without paying high priees. It is along | time sinee the bears got. into sucha. tight place, and | they are likely to get severely twisted before they | get out.

The balance, $1,600,000, is sunject to further fivanciering. Perhaps there is a new party 4m Mexico to buy off before the protest will be with- drawn, At all events, the balance will not be avail- able at present. The Michigan Central Railroad Company earned in January $156,954 63, against $122,469 83 for the same month the previous year, showiug an increase of $34,484 80. The Chiriqui Improvement Company holds in addition to very extensive coal fields, other impor- tant and valuable grants and privileges; amongst which is the exclusive right to improve, and to con- trol for sixty years, the old mail road from Bocas del Toro, on the Atlantic, to Darieland Golfo Dulce, on the Pacific, whizh embraces advantages of no ordinary character, especially when we look to the spacious and truly magnificent harbors on each side of the Isthmus, in which the whole naval power of England might ride in perfect safety. A rail or Mac- adamized road of about 70 miles, including branches, is altogether practicable, as will pe seen by the re” port of James B.Cooke, Esq. The latter description of road can be: constructed at a comparatively mode- rate expense,, over which freights could be trans- ported in feniy hours, and passengers by post coaches in eight hours, and that, too, through a dis- trict of country altogether unequalled for beauty, salubrity and productiveness by any other in the world—in confirmation of which we refer to an editorial in the Panama Star of July, 1853, and from which we make the following extracts, In speaking of Chiriqui, the editor says :-— So little bas been known aboysthis province hitherto, that it is only within the past tw. years any definite an- derstanding bas been arrived a notween the g-vernmeata oft New Granda and Costa Rica sy to the boundary line which separates the two repudligs. Indeed, had it not been for the importance whicla Chiriqui has derived as the storehouse of the Istnmus, sioce the Ca ifornla emi- gration, it ia very probavle that magnificent country und «in mense resources would still remain vegiocted and unapprep: fated. Tne few foreigners who have visited tha: part of the coast during the past ten yews have, however, taken #0 much peinsto develope the advantageous position and internal worth of the country, that it is already attract- ing 100 much attention to be ceglected fa future; and had the reme knowlecge relative to that province been ac- quis ed four years ego, we are cafe in reyiog that Chiriquit would this day have been the leacing route between tne 8, instead of Panama. Botn on the Atlantic and Pacific are ports superior, both in safe:y und coavenieace, to any on the ocast; and the fact has been tully es'ab- lisbes that in the immedia’e vicinity ot these ports are extensive beds of coni. of excellent quality, which could be worked t great advantage if require |.
