This has been peitiaU. confirmed by information received herefrom Ottawa. The home government has agreed that the Red River country eoail be erected into a new province, with representation in the Dominion parliament, and that the gov erimentof the Dominion shall pav oil the expenses of ifce organintion of said province Aa this substantially removes ihe principal 'grievances of the Winneseigers, it is regarded as a final settlement of ths matter, The recent disoussion Its Congress, looting to the annexation of that portion of British territory to this country, has done more thaii oyihing else, it is said, to se-cur3 a peaceable solution sf ths question. 3 ha military expedition otherwise would have left Ottawa the latt of May.After'her expensive experience in Abyssinia, the lEaglisb government will naturally hesitate before war upon the Red River inhabitants, particularly aa she at this time trying to reduce her expenses. Although Bsii has but a small nnmber of followers at the present time, it most be remembered that his location an inaccessible one, while the Indian tribes in Ids vicinitycoaid.be easily excited to open hostility towards the whites, so that a war with him would Be no insignificant matter. Under these circumstances we think it extremely probable that the English government will adopt some such pjlicy as is indicated by the above despatch) and not use force ex-cepfc a3 a last resort.The newspapers of some of our leadiD0 cities are having an interesting time just cow in the way of exchanging compliments. In Cincinnati, The Enquirer and Commercial arp engaged in a little personal controversy which promises to terminate in a duel. The New' York Times says ‘The Tribune is a free love organ, and The Tribune says The TimeB is a liar ! The Sun calls Young of The Standard a thief and a liar, and The Standard reciprocates by saying that “The Sun is a shameful libel upon the American press.” And now Hugh Hastings of The Commercial Advertiser gives Theodore Tilton the following notice:Mr. Theodore Tilton evidently dislikes the truth, and, like moat people when unable to refute charges thrust home upon them, re* sorts to blackguardiBth, calumny and falsehood. He meets the 'charge againHt him and his loose free love~and blasphemous letter to Mrs. McFarland by republishing a retraction of a libel, which purports to have been signed by the editor of this paper nearly thirry years ago.

I would suggest that this cir-cunstanoe rather fuiniehea evidence that in that goodly city and county stern justice metes out punishment to crime as provided bylaw, while in many counties crime goes unwhipt of justice. It must, however, be conceded thot Milwaukee has not only made generous contributions to the cqnviet population of Wauputi, but that, under tbe cir« cumatances, her ambition to secure a State edifice should bo gratified. It would, be handy for Milwaukee, besides which the State would be relieved of the expense incidental to the transportation of her delinquent citizens from thence to Waupun.Milwaukee is a beautiful and prosperous city, ihe commercial emporium of the State, of which we are in fact proud, while we rejoice in her prosperity. She can furnish food, clothing, fuel, and all else that may be requisite fot;:ihe operations and support of a prison at cheaper rates, and furnish more remunerative and constant employment to convicts than can be done at any other point in Wisconsin-Serious Shooting Accident.—Tbe Black River Fall’s Banner of tbe 7th gives the following accidental shooting item: Last Tuesday evening tbe report circulate ed through the village that E. £. LeClaire, cashier of the banking house of S’. W, Bowman, had been accidentally shot, and was. seriously injured. The report proved, to be .true. The accident Happened as follows: Mr. LeClaire and DavidHumbird ‘ were walking up Mason street together, talking on various topo ics,-and Mr. H. unfortunately had in bia hand a loaded Derringer pistol, which by aome unaccountable means wsb discharged, the ball passing through the fleshy part of VOilOff Humhird’fl IpFf.

At first it was feared the wound was mot til, but on examination by Dr. H. P. Cole, who was immediately called, it was announced that he might pas.-’ sibly recover. The ball could not be.found, and it ia supposed to be lodged between the ribs on the right side. At the present writing, Thursday noon, he is prone on ced. as comfortable as could be expected, and hopes ure entertained that it will not pr-ve fatal.The Chippewa Jah.—The Chippewa Herald of the 7th gives the folio wing in* formation concerning the logjam:Work has been progressing at the jam since our last, and the prospects are that by the middle of next week, there will be a channel right through. The engine has b8en at work night and day for the last eight days, and has done considerable service. The U, L. Co, are sorting fogs—the present stage of water rendering that kind of business easy.The story so industriously'circulated by the Eau Claire newspapers and copied inte The Milwaukee Sentinel, that tbe jam was becoming more solid each day, that no logs could be got down—and that half of the mills would be idle—will injure no one but thedp Bensition stories.The Northern Whig (Ireland)- says;During the past week almost 1,900 emi- - — grants left Londonderry for America, Up- this wards of 499 of these went1- *L —* •dian and Anchor line steamers.

Mr. Dahlman thought this method of lettiog contracts taking too much responsibility. He wculd never vote for letting them ao- He wanted it let to the lowest responsible bidder. He had heard Some time ago of thi9 letting, but could not belieTe it p3ssible until he learned now that it waa really so.Mr. Douglass knew Mr. Hardiog to; be a competent artist . It was impossible to fore* tell precisely what the work would cost bea forehand. This contract provides for paying only what the work is worth. Mr. Harding has in good faith sent to New York for workmen, ia pursuance of the agreement made with the old board. We could possibly re” nK) pudiate »he contract with Mr. HardiDg, but tiljf wa mast not break faith with him.Mr. Walter read a rule of the board in relation to contracts, tending to preclude Che idea that the county inennoi obligations until contracts were formally executed.Mr. Hyde said this board could annnl anyaotofthe old board except it be done at the next meeting. The time for doing eo had expired.Mr. Douglas thought the board under ob* ligations to give the work to Mr. Harding, bat was not obliged to give him. f2,500 The work can be done in a cheaper mailer.

In bnilding rails roads “ now-a-days” one cf two meth.l ois was almost always adopted. If the cm lemplated road waa to ran through a wild: or sparsely settled country, the company procured a grant of land as a foundation for commencement; or if if was to run throoehmore cultivated and.thiekly settled region, the. towns and counties interacted were asked to issue a^reasonable amount cf bonds in aid of the enterprise. The speaker then spoke of the present wealth and pros-pective development of the region lying he. tweeu the lake shore and the Norihwestern road, all of which would by this proposedroad be made tributary to this city.The company which ho represented had perfected.its orgsnizttion and induced men of undoubted means, both at home and abroad, to raise funds for making the preliminary survey to the Sheboygan road; and a complete and thorough one as far as Ce. darburg sad Grafton. To those places the road ia permanently located. We asked them for moderate assistance—not $50 OGO nor $100,000, hut the reasonable snm of ■$ 16,000, and these towns will vote on the question of contributing this amount on the l?th and 18th of this month.
