Last Saturday the following special despatch waa sent from Washington; wbiob if thentic, seems to confirm our first view of the matter :A cable despatch was received here uu Frida, last from London, announcing that the mditory expedition to Wirmepe| had been abandoned. This haS I een paFtiaUv coaBrtned by information received herefrom Ottawa. The fiome government he., agreed that the Red River couairy shall be erected into a new province, with representation in tbs Dominion parliament, and -bat (he gov-enmentof the Dominion sha i pav all the expenses of the organintiou of said province. As this eabatantiaUy removes the principal grievances of the Winnepeggera, it is regarded as a final settlement of tho matter. Tiia recent discussion in Congress, looking to the annexation of that portion of British territory to thiB country, has done more than anyihing else, it- is said, to se-°“ra a. Peaceable solution of the question., he military expedition otherwise would have left Ottawa the last of May.After'her expensive experience in Abyssinia, tbe JEcglish government will naturally hesitate before ma war upon the Bed . River inhabitants, particularly as she at this time trying to reduce her expenses.' Although Beil has but a small number of followers at the present time, it must be remembered that bis location an inaccessible one, while the Indian tribes in his vioinitycould.be easily exerted, 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 raoh.'policy as is indicated by the above despatch) and not tise force ex-cepfc a3 a last resort.The newspapers of some of our leadiDL cities are having an interesting time just now 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 tThe Tribune is a free love organ, and The Tribune says The TimeB iB a liar 1 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 oi 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, resorts to blackguardism, calumny and falsehood . He meets the charge against 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. That slander was refuted many years since. We inform the editor of The Independent that as;we have kicked nothing mean for a long time, he will be very likely to be introduced to our calfskin the first time we chance to meet him.. It is the only way to treat such fellows. We shan't hurt him but merely kick thiB Uriah Heep-of theGreen Buy in 1835.In the last number of the Green Bay Advocate we find the following:We have before hs a copy of the Green Bay Intelligence and Wisconsin. Democrat da*ed Navanno, Sept. 5,1835. published by A G Elhs and CO P Arndt. This paper, yeltow with age, brings up curious scenes and pleasant reminiscences of me old residents. Let U9 look at it a moment.Here 19 a card from “the Bettlersat Milwaukee,’' tendering thanks to the Green Bay residents for the handsome manner in which their claims to the land wasreodered. An editorial remarks that this happy ad fuato ment may “perhaps result in its final success as an important point.'’Stock had jast been taken up for a new town called “Birmingham,” ai the Rapide des Peres. The Navarino folks were indig* nant at the temerity of those who would establish a new town adjoining Navarino on the south, (To outsiders we will explain that Green Bay is composed of the old villages of Navarino and Astor, arid the “new town” referred to is the south ward of this city ) The editor was confident that the new town would in time be a mere extension of Nava* ricv. .This place was spoken of as being a good site for tbe manufacture of lumber. . • \John P.

The Journal. ?f laat SMdtdaj contains the following lvfron» tteiwii'smter:\ I have, In a trevious communication eo-atavortf tdtlt;ft|ltoir that; in an economical point iff MetK ^ would be advisable to aban-don the state Prison at Waupun and con-strnd^ a new one at Milwaukee. Permit me to et ue an additional reason in favor of the proposed measure.It appears 'from the report of the state pria«;»®fflfesioner of September, 1869. that up: to that time there had been incarcerated iff aUl,428 convicts, of which 535, or 371 per cent, of tbe whole number, were sent from Milwaukee county. Now, leal fiome ill* naiured or iricousiderate person sboald jump at tbe conclugion that Milwaukee raorala are slightly below, and Milwaukee criminality just so much above a general Wisconsin average, and that Milwaukeeans are sinners above all men. I would suggest that this Cir-cuustanoe rather fuxniehe* 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 thut Milwaukee has not only ma'de generous contributions to the cqnviet population of Waupuh, 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 ia a beautiful and prosperous city, the commercial emporium of the State, of which we are iu fact proud, while we rejoice in her prosperity. She can furnish food, clothing, fuel, and all else that may be requisite foi;:the 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 the report circulate ed through the village that E. £. LeClaire, eashier 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 hia hand a loaded Derringer piBtol, which by aome unaccountable means waB discharged, the ball passing through the fleshy part of young Humbird’g left hand, and striking Mr. Le Claire in the front of his right aid§, and then passed under the ribs toward the back on the inside. At first it waa feared the wound was mot til, but on examination by Dr. H. P. C.ole, who was immediately called, it was announced that he might pos* Bibly recover. The ball could not be foucd, 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 prave fatal.The Chippewa Jah.—The Chippewa Herald of the 7th giveB the following 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 wetk, there will be a channel right through. The engine has been 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 Glaire newspapers and copied inte The Milwaukee Sentinel, that tbe jam waa becoming more solid each day, that no logg could be got down—and that half of the mills would be idle—will injure no one bui the authors of such untruthful assertions. There will be plenty of logs—the jam will be all ’ through with next week, and the only ones left to.feel bad will be the Eau Glaire newspapers who thus lose an opportunity to get tip sensation stories. .*Tbe Northern Whig (Ireland)-aays:During the past week almost 1,900 emigrants left Londonderry for America, Upwards of 499 of these went in the sailing ship Minnehaha and the remaining by the Canadian and Anchor line steamers. To^day (Monday, April lb) the incoming trains are bringing ireah 8upDlie8 of passengers. Up to the present the number leaving this port is far in advance of the corresponding period of last year. These emigrants are chiefly from the counties of Tyraue, Donegal and Fermanagh.The tide of emigration from Queenstown still continee, and Beams to be rather ine creasing thau diminishing as the season advances, notwithstanding the excellent con* diiion of the crops.Rev'. Robert Collyer, in a recent lecture on “The theatre, the opera, and church,” said: “I confess, that I never saw auoh power; I never remarked such nature in a Christian pulpit that it was ever my privilege to sit under, aa in Joseph Jefferson’s ‘Rip Van Winkle.’ It ia nature not art. No sermon scarcely in tho world except that of Christ, when he stood with the aduitroaB woman, ever illustrated the power of love to conquer evil and to win the wanderer, as that little piece, so perfectly rendered by this genius which God has given to illustrate in the drama the power ot love over the sine of the race.”MIIWAUKEECQUHTY.Proceedings of the County Board of So-^ p$rrisors of'Xttwnfcee County.

A v Saiichdiner, and the committee on public buildings, was received -from the county auditor with hia approval.Mr. Dahlmann thought we bad a tremend-oos elephant on our hands in this court house matter, and thought the matter of freicoing could be postponed, or entirely dispensed with, it done at all it should be thrown open to competition,and proposals invited for doing the work whereby every fresco painter in the state oould compete.In answer to inquiries the chairman,-Mr. Bentley, explained that the old board art ranged with Mr. Harding, then the only fresco painter in the city, by the advice of Mr. SchmiJtner, who expected it to cost twice that amount. Mr. Dahlman thought this method of letting contracts taking too much responsibility. He would never vote for letring them so- He wanted it let to the lowest responsible bidder. He had heard Some time ago of thi9 letting, bat could not believe 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 gooff faith sent to New York for workmen, ia pursuance of the agreement made with the old board.

If the,:'con-lt;f lemplated road was to tuq through a wildr. or sparsely settled country, the company procured a grant of land as a foundation for' commencement; or if i it wa3 to run through a more cultivated and thickly settled region, the . towns and counties interejted were aBked to issue a ^reasonable amount cf bonds in aid of the enterprise. The speaker then spoke of the. present wealth and prospective development of the region lying be* tweeu the lake shore and the Northwestern road, all of which would by this proposed road be mads tributary to this oity.The company which he represented had perfected.its organization 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 aa Ce*» darburg and Grafton. To those places the road is permanently located.
