their associations The traveler especially the ican traveler looks on theso wilh deepest in- terest for they are connected with the welfare of the race and life of liberty But there are those on which his eye rests with painful in- terest for while he cannot but stand and der at the achievements of men his heart is pained with the ravages ho has wrought Forty-six yeats ago one night in ber the peaceful inhabitants of iho That were with wonder at the sudden appearance among them uf of men of strange garb nnd language They had just gathered their herds to the fold and were seeking their homes lhat slept amid the pastures when like a mountain torrent came pouring out from every defile and dy pass these strange and unaccountable be- ings From the heights of the Culm precipices the shepherds scarce to tread came streaming with their con- fused jargon around the collages of these ple children of the Alps It was Suwarrow with twenty-four thousand Russians al his back on his march from Italy to join the lied forces at Zurich He had forced the passage of Si Golhard and reached thus far when he stopped by Lake Lucerne and was told lhat and the main body of the Russian Army hud been defeated Indignant and incredulous at tho report ho would have hung the peasant as a spy had not the lady mother of St Joseph's Nunnery interceded in his behalf Hero in this great Alpine valley the bold commander found himself completely surrounded and his battalions ed down on him from tho summit of Iho otta Thai nnd blocked its mouth while Lecourbe hung on his The Russian bear was denned and led for first time in his life to order a retreat Ho wept in indignation and griel and adopted alternative left him to cross the into Glarus Then com- ono of desperate marches un- paralleled in the history of man The sage of Bernard by Bonaparte was a comfortable march to it nnd Hannibal's world renowned exploit mere child's be- side it While van had ascended the Pragel and was lighting desperately al the rear guard encumbered wilh tho wounded was struggling in the with Massena and his battalions Then these solitudes shook to thunder of non and the roar of musketry The startled avalanche came leaping from iho heights mingling its sullen thunder with iho roar of buttle Thu frightened Chamois paused on the high precipice to catch lhu roar that filled hills Simple hearted peasantry saw their green covered wilh batlling armies und iho snow-capped heights crimson wilh blood of men Whole companies Jell like from the rocks while the ploughed tho dense mass of human flesh lhat darkened the gorge below For ten successive days had these armies marched and in eleventh wilh unabated Unable to ibo sage at Suwarrow look iho desperate nnd awful resolution of leading his weary and wounded army over mountains into Grisons Imagine if you can an awful of mountains and precipices and glaciers piled ono above another in savage grandeur Cast your eye up one of those mountains feel above the level of the sea along whoso bosom in line goes a narrow path winding over tho precipices and snow fields till lost in thu summit Up that path und inlo snow had bold Russian resolved to lead is men To increase difficulties that beset him and to render his apparently inevitable tho snow fell on the morning ho set out two feet deep ting all traces of the path and forming as il a winding sheet for his army In gle file anJ will heavy hearts lhat mighty host ono after another entered tho snow drifts and began ascent Only a low miles could be madu the first day and at night without a collage in sight without oven a tree to kindle for a light around their solitary bi- in ho pinu crags around them for Tho next day head of thu column reached of tho ridge and what a scene was spread before them No onu who has not stood on an Alpine can have any conception of tho utter dreariness of ibis ro gion The mountains as far as Ihc oyo can reach lean along iho solemn sky while the deep silence around is broken by iho sound of no living thing Only now then the voice of lanche is heard speaking in ils low thunder tone from the depth ol tho awful abyss or thu scream of the eagle circling round some lofty crag Thu bold Russian stood and gazed long and anxiously on scene nnd then turned to look on his straggling ar- my that ns fur as Ihc eyo could reach wound like a huge anaconda over the white surface of the snow No column of smoke arose in this wild to cheer but ull was lent mournful and prophetic The winding sheet of army seemed before No path guided their und anon a er and bayonet disappeared together ns some poor soldier slipped on me edgo of a pice nnd fell inlo the abyss below Hundreds overcome and disheartened or exhausted wilh their previous wounds laid down to die while the cold wind as it swept by them wrought a snow shroud for forms The descent on Iho southern side was worse than the ascent A freezing wind hud hardened the snow into n crust so thai it frequently bore Ihc soldiers Their bayonets were into it lo keep them from slipping and iho weary und worn were compelled lo struggle every step to prevent being borne away over Ibe precipices thai momentarily stopped progress Ycl even Ibis precaution was in vain Whole companies would begin to slide together and every would sweep with a shriek over edge of Ibo pre- nnd disappear in untrodden gulfs be- low Men saw their comrades by whose side they hud fought in many a battle shoot one another over Iho verge striking bayonets as they went lo slop ress The beasts of burden slipped from bove and rolling down on the ranks below shot away in wild confusion men and all in- to the chasm that yawned al As they advanced tho enemy appeared a- round on tho precipices pouring a scattering yet destructive firo into tho struggling multi- tude Such n sight tho Alpine solitudes er a march no army ever made before In looking at this pass the traveler cannot believe any army of man were marched over il through the fresh snow two pe hi feet deep For five days they struggled a- mid theso gorges and over these ridges and finally reached the Rhine at lianas tor months after tho vulture and eagle hovered incessantly along tho lino of march and beasts of prey were gorged with tho dead bodies Nearly 8000 men were scattered among tho glaziers and rocks and piled in tho and the bones of many an un- buried soldier may still be seen bleaching in the ravines of No Christian or philanthropist over stood on the battle field without mourning over the ravages of war and asking himself when the day would come when men would beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears hooks Yet tho evil is not felt in all its dreadful reality there The ments of the tossing of the unrolling of stirring strains of martial charging squadrons the might and magnificence of a groat battle field disturb the imagination and check tho low of sympathy If he wishes the feeling of horror

whilo their comrads march mournfully by There is a cold a sort of savage malice about this that awa- kens all the detestation of the human family Yet the Russian could do no better The scourge of

rich in mineral resources A few years ago the Government gave permits of location to persons exploring that country on tion that they should work the mines ered by them These permit's were to con- for nine years In consequence of this policy the copper region has been visited we may almost say by multitudes and the whole country is shingled over with permits to such an extent that the Government has been obliged to stop the system of grants entirely The explorations thus made have been but partial except in two places At Copper bor and at Eagle River companies have been formed with substantial capital and the mines have been worked with great success The ore is said to yield from fifteen to eighty per ceul of it are mingled wilh silver amounting lo five per cent of the whole weight worth from three lo four dollars per ton The from the shore of the Lake and become more rich as they descend In other places the metal appears to have been forced up through fused rocks by tho action of volcanic fires In one case tho ore is found in rock six hundred feet above level of the lake j A correspondent of the Boston Atlas who writes from mineral regions gives a de- tailed of Eagle ment He ars now between seventy and y persons employed by the Company al an expense of twelve hundred dollars per month The greater part of this force is now em- ployed upon the mills When these are com- thu whole strength of the Company will be turned iulo the mines It is ed lhat iwo men can raise two Ions of the ore per day and company may put on as many men as it chooses One thousand could work without interruption The stock of the company is divided into 1200 shares and dollars have been assessed and paid in upon each share making in all it is believed will put the cry und saw mill in full operation The Com- pany have sold locations lo the amount of which will leave to its members surplus completion of their machinery The saw mill will be a great of revenue lo Company it being the only mill in thu country where lumber is extravagantly high The works at Eagle are under Iho direction of agents Messrs Gratiot and former a gentleman of wealth and acter and great experience in latter was the Slate Geologist of Michigan under Dr and is the discoverer of nearly every vein now known in the mineral region In the fever of speculation the shares of this company and of other companies in the mineral region have been run up to very high prices Stocks for which twenty have been paid are selling at Mr Henshaw late Secretary of the Navy and of Eagle Hiver Company holds his shares at Of course there are many frauds perpetrated in this sort of speculations Companies arc formed on lhu most imaginary basis their stocks being and the operators in lhu business ly dishonest The process of is also carried on A man lakes some ore from Eaglo River or Copper Harbour and fixes it so us to make it look like a natural deposit in some spot where nature never lodged any per and upon discovery of ibis land is loomed and it company formed Notwithstanding these deceptions however and many exaggerations thuru appears to be 110 doubt of the Tact that rich of per ore abound on shores of Lake rior Tho population of the mineral region is rapidly increasing Some accounts make it as great iw ten thousand already If the future explorations nnd working of the mines correspond wilh the present indications of value the copper region of Lake rior must soon become the scene of dense with villages towns and cities rising up amid of that distant spot a thousand miles from thu confines of The facilities for transportation ded by the navigable waters of Lake or will great advantages to the tors there and enable them to convey the products of their mines to market at litlle
