S^KDEll AND THB 1 „,".'.:,' "i«oi*tiB. IWEDBt AT' ax asv. w. A. aioaois. From the Chicago Advance. .,' .' Sweden is riohly worth a visit and I sna surprised that mora foreign tour ists do not include it- in their plans of travel. It is spprosehed among isl a beauty aad, inhndL it ia so interspers ed ^Hh small lskej that, whether on© travels by rail or bost, he seems to go equj«lr|^%e-titer/-•j?Th.e faoo of the country is mainly leyel yet rendered rugged by long ranges bare rock nt ing fifty or a hundred feet, and often extending for miles. Most of the ground is also very stony. The soil.to a considerable extent is wot, hence cold and sour, while the upland ridges are sandy and light. The farm nouses aro mostly rainll sad in a dilapidated condition, with aurrfundings of a thrift less appearance. The natural features of the country are mainly such as to train an 'industrious and: frugal people to live contented with slender means. Most evidently, the Swedes, from the throne to the peasant, are fully con-, seions that they are not -what they once were. From tho fall of Charles the Twelfth, they have in some respects, been gradually on the decline. The. military dress which this warrior-king wore on the, day he received his mor tal wound, his hat perforated with the bail which took his life, aad his gloves stained with heroic blood arc still shown in the Museum at Stockholm but the national vigor and the elastic spring whioh animated the people of that day are not there. With depreciated soil whioh was scarcely second rate, at best, the products of agricultural labor are moderate in amonat and ordinary in quality. Stockholm is beautiful in its harbor and situation, and Gottenburg (Goethebnrg,) the principal city, has a good degree of commercial life, but ev ery thins/ is done on a comparatively small scale. Their pait money, the "Riks-dalor," is but little more than one-fourth of the Federal dollar, and to this standard measure the whole sys tem seems well to correspond. The are of an inferior kind, the oxen, so far as I saw them, looked like cows kept on short feed. CI hope they have better ones somewhere for beef. With honorable exceptions, the general order of things is, evidently, small outlays, and small income. But tho people have not lost their excellence of character, though the na tion may have passed the period of its highest prosperity. They have good manners, and are uniformly civil to dtrangers, as every traveler.will experi ence. They seem to think almost asinterests much of other people as they do of themselves, which is -quite remarkable for a national characteristic, but more than all, the religions sentineof, with them seems especially deep sad strong. The dry rot of rationalism has not destroyed the elasticity and strength of Christian emotion, nor does the am bition of military greatness make them proud, and aspiring after national pre eminence. I passed a Sabbath in Got tenburg and attended a service in a Lu theran church with.a capacity to ac commodate at least a thousand people and not only the pews, but all the aisles were full, though it was at four o'clock p. M. Five-sixths of the women wore upon their heads, simply, a silk fringed kerchief tied under the chin. So they worshiped with their heads covered, and, in this respect in a more Scriptu ral form than ladies who attend church in fashionable hats. The preacher had not the advantage of a beautiful head of hair, a fine set of tooth, a well turn ed personal figure, and a rich, musical voice, all which are very desirable aids in connection with higher qualities but having attained, if I mistake not, the age when spectacles are a needful supplement to natural vision his form was stooping, and his voice, pitched high,' .was shrill, at times almost squeak ing. But he was earnest and seemed as one who has a message to deliver, and not simply a piece to "speak." The hearers, evidently, did not stiek in the Litter, .but entered into the spirit of the occasion, for as soon as the ser mon commenced, many of the yonng people with pencil and paper prepared to take notes. As the diseouNC pro ceeded, ona and another of both men and women roso np and leaned forward toward the speakor, till at the close, as many as fifty or sixty held this posi tion. There was considerable weeping in different parts of the house, and as I could not understand except by nat ural signs, I began to imagine that I had been strangely carried baek to the time and place where President Ed wards was preaching his memorable sermon, "Sinners in the hands of aa angry God." The samo indications in the United States would haVe led to the conclusion that a thorough revival had already oommeaoed, and yet, from all I learned, 1 hsd witnessed only an ordinary service. Tho Swedes are tepidly emigrating to America, sud surely no better elsss of foreigners can go to take possession of our wild lands, to lend the bone and muscle needful to reduce and develop a new country, aad be the moral stabil ity of unformed society. Their indus trial habits and trained economy will help them to get afoot-hold with small meant, and constitute a safe bans for broader operation in their new circum stances. The more wealthy Swedes at home feel anxious for their poor breth ren in the United 8tates, lest they be left to starve before they can eat bread 1 iron* P. Blair, m$ 'tijbjGr1 own planting. They spoke to me with deep regret that so many-of them should leave their native land wah these dubious prospects. I desire to bay an earnest word in behalf of the Swedish emigrants to my native land. For in some respects they are the New Engenders of Europe, and when their training and character snail W applied on a suitable scale they may become Ysnkees lengthened ont. DONNKL.LY PAUL AHD TH ST. PRSMS.:- Si^' The country papers of th State seem to be waking up to the faot that the Republican party is misrepresented by the so-called organ of the party at St. Paul, the Owatoona Journal in some very sensible remarks takes the iVesa to task for the course it has pur sued. The majority- of the voters of this State do not care for the private quarrels of the conductors of a newspa per any, more than they care for the quarrels of any other members of the same party, and while it is a fact that a judicious exposure of the faults of a politician by a newspaper will injure that politician, it yet remains true that that warfare can be carried to the ex tent of benefiting the person assailed. ID tho case of the St. Paul Press and Donnelly, there is no doubt that the hard names that have been applied to Donnelly by that newspaper have help ed his chances for a re-nomination.—• Even in local matters the Press seems to have lost its judgment with its tem per, and in ridiculing the Grant aad Colfax Club formed in the eity of St. Paul, they have raised up a large num ber of active workers against them selves—some of the men belonging to the club would not before have made any exertion whatever to defeat the wishes of the owners of• the St. Paul Prtu, that now as members of a ridi culed clnb, wUl leave no stone upturn ed to defeat whatever that paper may most desire.—Northfield Recorder. ARJ 1BDIOBTAHT O E S As Bepublicans, deeply interested in the success of the party throughout the State, and on behalf of subscribers to the Preu who are most heartily sick of reading, day after day, whole columns of vituperation* against a Republican who has represented the State in Con gress for six years, we piotest against the course of the Republican State or gan towards Mr. Donnelly. We do not now undertake to say that Mr. Donnel ly is wholly blameless touching the matter of this newspaper war bnt is this a justification for the Press in prostituting its columns to further its in a private quarrel If Mr. Donnelly has wronged the publishers of the Press let them seek satisfaction in the way that other private citizens do, who do-not happen to own an or gan. If, however, they are fighting this quarrel in the interest of Mr. Ram sey or anybody else, then they must confess to having made their paper the mouth-piece of an individual, aad to having ignored the paramount interests of the Republican party in the State at large. Mr. Donnelly has many friends among the subscribers of the Preu in Southern Minnesota and each one of them feels that by the course of the Press, he is made an unwilling assail ant of that gentleman's political and private character. If the publishers of that paper could be made to comprehend the intense disgust which their Party-cidal war, for the last two months, has excited in. the minds of all candid-, reflecting men, they would change their course. Otherwise, they are olesn daft.— Mankato Union. IMPORTANT POSTAL UAW. The new postal law adopted by Con gress is an important measure.

Sonthsy, in his "History of the Pen insular War," relates the lollowiag:— "Two of the Spanish regiments which had been quartered ia Fenen wars cat. airy, mounted on fine, black, laag-tailed Andalaaian horses. It was mposaiblo to bring off those horses 1,100 in number- and Romano was not a mau who could order them to be destroyed he was fond of horses himself, and knew that every man was attached to his beast, which had carried him so fsr and so faithfully. Their bridles were therefore taken off and they ware turn ed loose upon the beach. "A seene ensued such as was never before witnessed. They became aware that they wero no longer under the re straint of any human power. A gen eral conflict ensued, in whL-h, retain ing the discipline they had learned* they charged each other in squadrons of ten or twelve together, then closely engsged, striking with their forefeet, and biting and tearing each other with the most ferocious rage, and trampling over those who were beaten down, till the shore, in the course of an hour, was strewn with the dead and disabled. Part of them had been sat free on ris ing ground st a distance. They no sooner heard the roar of battle, than thoy came thundering down over the intermediate hedges, and catching the contagious madness, plunged into the fight with equal fury. Sublime as the scene was, it was too horrible to be long contemplated, and Romano, in meroy, gave orders to destroy them. But it was found too dangerous to at temptthis, And after the last boat had quitted the beach, the few horses that remained were still engsged ia the dreadful work of mutual destruction." FORTY BUSOKXS TO TO I ACRK.—- Capt. John Rollins, of St. Anthony, informs us that he has just completed threshing seven acres of wheat grown on his f*.nn between this eity and Min nehaha, and that the yield is most forty-one bushels to the acre! Tho ground had been used as a pasture for a number of years, and this is the first crop since breaking it. Let us hear from some one who can beat it. On the same farm he has large field which has been under enltivstion for sixteen successive yeaw, and this year, having threshed the wheat from it finds that he has an average of twenty seven bushels to the acre 1 Truly, Minnesota is a Wheat growing State.—Minneapolis Tribune. —Commissioner Wilson, of the Land Office,.received several/letters yester day morning from prominent men in Sweden, announcing the intention of a large number of the Swiss farmers to emigrate at once to this country, and seeking information in referencetothe purchase of the unoccupied public lands in the West and South. These Swiss emigrants are preparing to leave their native Country in the fall.— Washing ton Chronicle. —In the death of "Commodore" Ed win A. Stevens, who died in Paris on Friday last, in hit, seventy-third year, Hoboken sustains a serious loss and the Camden and Amboy railroad loses its father.
