DU BUQUE, SATURDAY, JULY 1#.
To CORRESPONDENTS.—An apology is due
to "Du BUQUE" for the non-appearance of his
article last week. The manuscript was mis
laid was the reason it was not then published.
The lines of R. G. E. are inadmissible.
The Mississippi for the last few days has
very heavy rains on its head waters. It rose {1
at about tho rate of one foot in twenty-four'
hours, and is now yearly a? high as it was du
ring the "June rise."
On-Wednesday evening last, Gov. DODGE
passed this place, on board the Irene, for St»
Peters, whither he is going as a Commission
er under the Government of the U. States, to
treat with the Chippewa Indians, for the pur
chaso of their lands lying on the Mississippi
and Cbippewa rivers. General SMITH, ap
pointed in conjunction with Gov. Dodge, has,
for what cause we know nol, been detain
ed, and will not, we presume, be able to
reach Fort Snelling by the time appointed,

In the last "Miners' Free Vreas," the Se
cretary of the Territory received a mild, but
merited, rebuke. It appears that the Secreta
ry has been, sincc his appointment, but two
days near tho Executive Office, so that Exe
cutive Tnisfness couTJ be done. This is
subjecting the people to an inconvenience to.
whieh they ought not to be subjected and we
think that if thc salary and honor—the latter
of which seemed to be the moving cause with
him—will not justify the Secretary in leaving
the plate where he has heretofore resided, and
been the scene of his speculations, to settle
at some place accessible to the Governor, he
ought to resign the office, and let some one be
appointed, .who has lime to ATTEND to it. It
was several months after his appointment be
fore he made his appcarance in tho Territory.
On the first page of to-day's paper will be
found a communication from tho Hon. Henry
L. Ellsworth, on Cultivation of thc Prai-|
ries, which contains much information. Some

Among the passengers on board the Irene

becoming a citizen of Illinois.

EXPERIENCE.—In adverting to the embarrass

the editor ofthe Boston Statesman holds the follow
ing language:
"Asa roan become*

own experience of evil. Hence, much good may
arise from the present circumstances of the com

Bargains to toe had.
THE
subscriber, being desirous to move farther
south, will offer for sale to thc highest bidder,
on the twentieth of July next, his farm he is now
living on, and with it his crop. There is about
five acres enclosed and all in cultivation—the crop
is mostly com, nnd stands well—the balance of
the crop is wheat, potatoes, cabbage and beets, por
liaps as good as the country affords. This farm
lies one mile south-west of Durango, half-mile'
west of Mr. P. Samuels1 farm—and one mile north
of his mill, nnd the location does not clash with'
other improvements in the neighborhood. Those
that are fond ol good water and a handsome situ
ation will do well to call—for 1 will sell if I can'
get two thirds value. I will take time to show any
person the rni\ge line about one mile north of m*
premises, and convince them that my claim is on a
distinct quarter. And alter sale of premises, I
will sell one yoko of work cattle, one millh cow, V
farming utonsiU, household furniture, nnd one chest
of mechanical tools, &c. all of which will he sold
either for cash or lead the lead must be delivend
at Du Buque, and I will allow the cash price for
said lead in exchange for my property.
