To put the whole matter in a nutshell, Sweet
ser came to the country to obtain money for
which the traders in the country had toiled for
years, and which honestly belonged to them,
and which both the Indians and the Govern
ment wished them to get. He has been com
pletely and thoroughly defeated, and now wish
es, through the Democrat, to excite sympathy,
hoping thereby eventually to obtain pay for
the goods and provisions he has expended in
his nefarious transactions.
The President's Message.
This document was received by the mail
which arrived the first of the week, and by a
.business “coalition" between the Pioneer, Dem
ocrat and Minnesotian, was laid before the peo
ple of St. Paul early on Tuesday morning.
The Message is a plain business document.—
It is devoid of the special pleading and sophis
try in justification of the course of the Adminis
tration which characterized the final messages
of some of the immediate predecessors of Mr. Fill
more. In fact, there was nothing of the kind
needed, and the author had the good sense and
discernment to know the fact. We are anxious
to see what species of cavil and fault-finding
the Satanic portion of the Democratic press
will adduce in their criticisms upon this docu
ment.
The Message is likewise a fair and satisfacto
ry expose of the prosperous condition of the
Government and country. So long as our
national affairs are administered upon the
principles that have governed Mr. Fillmore and
those associated with him, we may look for a
continuance of this high prosperity. MTe can
but hope that no great or material change will
be undertaken by these who have been clothed
with [tower as their successors.
We Want to Know!
There's no use “ fooling about" and mincing
words —we are honest—we are patriotic—we
arc contending for the pr—no, for the right —we
can't be bought with all the Sioux money'
‘•Ramsey, Sibley A Co." ever had, or will ever
will have—we arc determined that these gos
siping old women, red and white, altout town
shall be satisfied—old Rets and all the rest of
them —we want to know, we say, if it's a fact :
That Sweetzer refused to take any of the
Sioux money merely because it was ofTercd in
paper ?
Did Captain Dodd deny that he certified to
that protest, and pronounce the use of his
name in the premises a forgery ?
Has “ Red Iron's" daguerreotype been for
warded to Washington, with a Dottle of the
tears he shed when Gov. Ramsey “jugged"
him?
Is Purser Smith, of the Crescent City, se
cretly employed to aid in pushing on the Demo
crat's “fillibust," now that the Cuba enterprise
is settled, and are any of those muskets purchas
ed by George Law to lie used in the “ Sioux
war?"
Is it the intention of our fiUibustering neigh
bor, and his adjuncts in their crusade against
“corruption," after they get through with this
Sioux matter, to turn their attention to the
merits of a law suit, now pending, which grew
out of a very peculiar but entirely natural
transaction, occurring on Roberts street a few
days since ?
Did the Democrat man and Mr. Sweetzer. in
their extatic joy at the time of the arrival of
the Greek Stare, with the Governor, Hugh Ty
ler, and the “Sioux money" on board, write to
Frink. Walker A Co., ottering them two thou
sand dollars per head for the horses composing
the teams that hauled (lie Governor. Hugh Ty
ler and that “ SGfiO.OOO in gold" from Rock
ford to Galena : and is it a fact that they have
engaged colts of the breed of “iron horses"
that loeomoted said valuable cargo from Wash
ington to Rockford ?
Is it true, that “ Sleepy Eyes," Jr., is a “ me
dium;" that he is in communication with the
spirit of James Fenniraoro Cooper, and that
•said spirit is anxious the editor of the Demo
crat should continue the “Leatherstocking"
scries of Indian tales, with Sweetzer, Red
Iron, Little Six. Ac., prominent in the fore
ground as leading characters?
Finally, is it a fact that unless Sweetzer &
Co. have speedily forked over to them Forty
Thousand Dollars, in something else than New
York city hank paper, for their disinterested
services in endeavoring to break up the Sioux
treaties, they will leave the Territory for
good?
Heaven avert such a calamity !
S. Lisle Smith, Esq., of Chicago, leased a few
days since, a lot in that city, 112 by ISO feet,
corner of Wabash and Lake sts., for nine hun
dred and ninety-nine years, at an annual rent
al of SI2OO.
We are jr\ease«l to learn that our young
friend Dr. Willey, formerly of Cleveland, has
formed an eligible partnership for the practice
of his profession in St. Paul, Minnesota. Dr.
W. filled the post of Senior Assistant Physi
cian in our Lunatic Asylum at Columbus*for
nearly two years, with unusual ability and
usefulness, and we heartily wish him success in
bis new home.— C/e re. Pla indealer.
The Thing Explained.— The Syracuse Star
says that the election of Mr. Pierce was
brought about by a concatenation of fortuitous
circumstances superinduced by a succession of
unparalleled coincidences. We think there
can lie very little doubt aliout it.
_ Wan ix the Waii Office. —A letter to the
New York Express, from Washington, of late
date, says there has been a war in the Depart
ment of War. It occurred between Secretary
Conrad aud Col. Abort, of the Topographical
Bureau, in relation to the improvement of the
Tennessee river, under the river and harbor
bill. Crimination and recrimination followed.
The Colonel closed the argument by intimating
that the Secretary was no gentleman. The
Secretary peremptorily ordered the Colonel
to quit the room. It is said that the Colonel
vr ill be arrested for contempt, or upon some
other charge, and court martialed. However
this may be. it is about time that we
should see signs of the disbursement of
the appropriations made by the last Con
gress for the improvement of our rivers and
harliors. We have seen no movement of this
kind. The citizens on the Upper Mississippi
have already lost, in the last three months, a
very large sum of money—probably Sioo.-
000—in excessive charges paid for the
transposition of goods over the Rapids,
aud yet we see no officer of the Govern
ment making his appearance, to commence the
removal of the obstructions in the navigation.
It is high time lie should lie here.— St. Louis
Repub.
Dtxrii ok \ Minister One llv.xdred Years
OLD.—- Tliat venerable and useful servant of
God, the Uev. John Mclntyre, rested from his
labors on the 17th inst., at the residence of his
HOB-tn-uU', Mr. Alexander Purcell,in Robinson,
N. C., in the one hundred and third year of his
age. It is comparatively seldom that we hear
of a minister of tiie Gospel preaching three
score and ten ; But here was a venerable man
of God, who had I teen spared to wear the har
nca: for more than a century.—Presbyterian.
FACTS AND FANCIES.
A Merry Christmas ! —The compliments of
the season to the readers of the Minnesotian, one
aud all! We are aware this number is not eery
complimentary to some of them ; and we only
regret that the exigencies of the times require a
sheet so little in keeping w ith the merry-mak
ing of a holiday period. Rut it cannot lie
helped.
Ot R Advertisers, one and all, are prepared,
it will be seen, to accommocate their customers I
during the holidays. Owing to the necessity
of giving this week an unusual quantity of
reading matter, we must beg the indulgence of
some of those who advertise.
The Extertaivmext given by the ladies of
the Baptist Church on board the Greke
Slave, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
was well patronized by our citizens generally, j
the entire proceeds of the sale amounting to
between three and four hundred dollars. The
ladies looked their best, worked their best, and
did their best : and of course everything went
off entirely satisfactory.
Doax, Kino A Co.—Wo invite attention to
the advertisement of this old and highly re-
spcctable house.
The I’ook Ye have ai.wavs with You !—We
hope our citizens who are enjoying themselves
these holiday times—who are feasting at
Thanksgiving dinners, church suppers, ball
room banquets and Now Year's levees—will
not forget this gentle and meaning hint of the
Divine Master. \Ve have the poor in our midst,
even in this new city. Many arc here who
came the past season, and expended their all
in reaching our shores. As was appropriately
suggested by Elder Cressey, in his excellent \
Thanksgiving discourse on Wednesday, they [
are to be found in rude and weather-soai'Cking i
shanties along the back streets, and among the
surrounding hills of the city, perhaps suffering
for food, and shivering with the rude blasts of
this inclement season. We ourselves know of
such. I.adies of St. Paul—ye angels of mercy
—search them out, we beg of you! Forego the
purchase of church bells, and organs, and the
rearingof costly church edifices, throughaspir
it of rivalry, for a little season, and administer
to your hungry, freezing, suffering sister.
Shakspeare ix Demand. —We hunted all over
the office the other day for our copy of Shaks
peare, and were compelled to give up the
search. When the Democrat came out, we at
once could account for the missing volume.—
Look at those glaring, staring quotations in
every column! Is it not clearly evident that
the editor has swallowed a copy ol Shakspeare.
and may it not as probably have been our copy
as any other? Here's the editor's opinion of
himself, as drawn from liis late literary and
classic eolation :
There Is no terror in your threats,
For I am arm’d so strong in honesty ,
That they pass by me, as the idle winds,
Which 1 respect not.”
Modest mail, that neighbor Proteus of ours,
is'nt he ! 1 lonestv, forsooth— honesty, and lend
his columns to carry on the personal quarrels
of such mere adventurers in trade and principle 1
as those who are now backing him! Bah !!
i
Minnesota Productions. — A lady of foreign
nativity, Norwegian we believe, the wife of a
farmer residing ea>t of St. Anthony, has three
of the finest, healthiest, rosy-eheeked little
daughters, nil of one birth, nged about nine
months, that were ever sent upon earth to
bless parents. They were born in the Territo
ry and we hope measures will lie taken to
send them to the World's Fair at New York,
next summer, as about the best specimen of one
of the great staples of Minnesota that can lie
“ scared up" anywhere.
Grinding. —The grist mill at St. Anthony
lias now one run of atones in operation, and is
producing a most excellent article of corn
meal. In a week or two they will be prepared
to grind wheat, of which, by the way, there is
sufficient in the country to "keep the mill go
ing" till next spring. Persons who expect to
get eight and ten dollars per barrel for flour
before the opening of navigation may as well
•• hang up their fiddles.” That is a piece of im
position ivltat “ can't be did."
Jr. vies Burns Booth. —We notice in our
outside columns to-day a paragraph alluding
to some recent excentricities of this personage.
The last mail brings intelligence of his death.
He recently landed in New Orleans on his re
turn from his professional visit to California,
which had proved highly successful, and died
on board a steamboat while coming up the
river. Nc was a man of genius and mark, and
when “Richard's himself again," was the mas
ter of tragedy. The cup at times was his banc,
and withered the laurels otherwise worn so de
servedly and well. Mr. Booth has just closed
an engagement at New Orleans, ami the Pica
yune says his “Bertram was a master-piece of
acting. From the commencement of the piece
to the close he enchained the attention of the
audience, and it was hard to say in which par
ticular scene he was the greatest, though the
last was fearfully grand."
Our Hennepin county neighbors, we learn,
are making preparations for opening a school
on that side of the river. We believe they also
design establishing a Lyceum, and expect to
have a series of lectures Irom prominent indi
viduals in the Territory. Success to all sueli
laudable undertakings in our youthful ‘sister
city.'— St. Anthony Express.
Among other improvements which we no
ticed during a recent visit (o Hennepin, was
the laying out and establishment of a straight
road from the line of the present Reserve at
Little Fallscreck to Crystal Lake. The county
seat has been established about half a mile
west of the Falls of St. Anthony. S. Ste
vens A Co., are progressing rapidly with their
mill near Lake Minnetonka ; also their steam
boat, which is to navigate the Lake. We have
before us the constitution of a claim associa
tion, now forming in New York, the second
article of which roads as follows: “The ob
ject of this association shall be to obtain, for
each of its members a farm of 160 acres on Lake
Minnetonka in the Territory of Minnesota."
They have already made their location on the
south side of the Lake. Hennepin is thus
marching forward to high importance and sure
prosperity. She has had the right heads and
hands to give her a good start.
Accounts state that eight tons of gold
were recently stored at Port Philip, Australia,
and no owner could be found for it. The very
place for Sweetzer, that. No “bank rags’’
there to annoy him and worry his qualmish
conscience. If he hurries ou, he may happen
to get a power of attorney ou that little pile.
The Railroad connection between Cleveland
and Philadelphia is now coinple, and the whole
time of travel between the two cities is only
twenty-four hours. A Committee of the Phila
delphia Council will arrive in this city this
evening.— C/eve. Her.
j Thaxksgivjxg. —It has been customary since
• the organization of the Territory, among all
the Protestant churches of St. Paul, save the
Episcopal, to unite in religious duties upon
Thanksgiving day, and to have service in but
one church. This is not only highly becoming
an infant and isolated community such as
ours, but also tends to illustrate the good and
true Christian feeling existing among the dif-
ferent denominations in our midst. May it
ever continue! In accordance with this cus
tom—whice we hope our children will be ena
bled fifty years hence to write down as “ time
honored"—the service for this year was held at
the First Presbyterian Church (Mr. Neill's) on
Wednesday of this week. The discourse was
delivered by Rev. Mr. Cressey, of the Baptist
Church. He was assisted in the services by
Rev. Messrs. Fullerton of the Methodist, and
Neill and RiheldaU’er of the First and Second
Presbyterian Churches. As we have been
promised a copy of Mr. Cressey‘s excellent
sermon for publication, we refrain at this time
from remarking upon its many appropriate and
practical points and suggestions. The choir
deserves commendation for the excellency of
the music on the occasion.
“ Dancing is probably less in vogue in the
I'liited States of America than in any European
country. Our Puritan fathers, when they set
tled upon these shores, deeming it one of the
‘vanities' of life, discountenanced it by every
means in tlieir power."’
The above is going the rounds of the papers,
as a part of an article on dancing. It is an en
tire mistake in fact, and a misrepresentation of
the manners and habits of our pritnive ances
tors. Dancing was one of the favorite amuse
ments of the Puritans, with exceptions, of course,
among the sternest and most ascetic. One fact
j is sufficient proof of our statement. Hundreds of
! private houses, erected by communicants and
deacons, in the strictest congregational churcli
| es in New England, one hundred and one lmn
ui'Ctl and fifty years ago. were originally built
with, and bait" still, a hall, constructed on pur
pose for dancing, with a box at one end utf the
musicians : and it was customary for neighbors I
to meet every week and enjoy asocial evening. !
in which one of the chief and essential amuse- j
ments was dancing. The practice of dancing !
was not only common, but universal. The pre- j
jttdice of late years against dancing has arisen i
from the objection which all decent and pure
minded people have to lascivious waltzing, ex-1
pensive balls, late hours, and dissipated habits. I
Rut dancing at an evening party is an innocent,
healthful, delightful recreation, and no people
practised it more generally, or enjoyed it more
intensely, than the New England Puritans.— ,
Troy Post.
As this is the season of dancing, we copy the
above for the purpose of ‘setting matters right,'
in regard to the social habits of our Puritan i
fathers and mothers. We could never sec the :
point to be gained in morality and a correct
state of religious feeling, in denouncing danc
ing, when practised after the good old fashion j
of our ancestors. Assemblages of young poo- ]
pie for any other purpose, where the object j
seems solely to work upon the feelings, and ;
produce an unduly excited state of the mind, ;
in our opinion, go nearly orquite as far to pro
duce, in the end, impure or immoral results as
dancing parties. In all cases, correct training
and principle must be the safeguard of the
I young. If the one has been neglected, the oth
i er will, most generally, be found wanting; and
it matters little whether the baser passions are
aroused in the ball-room, the political festival,
or lieneath the fanatical harangues of the reli
gious bigot or zealous "reformer;" they will
develope themselves.
A Great PtTV. —-Vs the Democrat man lias
appropriated to himself our Shakspeare, and j
devoured it—paper, ink, leather, boards and ■
pictures—we must quote from memory ; and it i
is, perhaps, lucky for us in onr efforts to get
, even with him in the way of flaming quotations,
j that wo happen to recollect a certain fellow of
the Sweetzer stripe is mentioned in Henry IV.,
; as regarding it a
That villainous salt-petre should be digg ? d
Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
Which many a pood tall fellow had destroyed
So cowardly ; and, but for these vile puns,
He would himself have been a soldier!”
So indeed is it now a pity that so many honest
aud determined officers, here and at Washing
ton, were resolved that the Indians should pay
i their just debts. And but for this, Swcetzcr's
! power-of-attorney might have operated, and he
himself, together with the Democrat and clique,
have had the money. Is it not a great pity,
that vile gold should be digged in California—
-1 then converted into “bank tags” at New York
—and after all fall into the hands of the very
! men who were justly entitled to it?
j “The Oi.n Yellow Horse." —Who does not
I remember (lie old yellow horse, that drew
.water for all St. Paul last winter? Who can
fail to remember his shaggy. .Scotch-snuff col
: ored coat—so long and so rough that it re
minded one of that “woolly horse" which Col.
Fremont did not capture, and the owner of
which “Old Bullion" did prosecute as an im
postor! Who fails tocall to mind his slow, go
easy, carc-for-nothing gait, even at the time
when water was in such great demand—when
j the edict of popular opinion allowed nothing
but water—when the Maine Law was all the
; go, in and out of the Legislature, and, like the
Ancient Mariner in the midst of his phantom
comrades upon the deck of his calm-bound, rot
ting vessel, the cry was
“ Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink !”
No man, “ nor bird, nor beast." can be so ea
sily recalled to the memory of the dwellers in
St. Paul last winter as the “old yellow horse,”
save, perhaps, the dog Teton, of Pembina, and
the sprightly, intelligent and highly educated
poodle, belonging to “the gentleman from
Cass. TV ell, what does all this amount to,
you will ask. V\ hv, reader, “if you have tears,
prepare to shed them now!” The “old yellow
horse" is dead! Peace to his manes!
We understand the editor of the Democrat
positively denies that Okawasta had anything
to do in getting up the articles in his paper of
this week, or that the cause of delay in issuing
this number—one day behind the usual time—
was occasioned by the absence of old Betsey
aud her sister from town. We give him the
full benefit of this denial.
Goods landed by the latest boats at La
Crosse, Lake Pepin, Ac., are beginning to ar
rive. The teams that were despatched for thorn
have been greatly impeded by bad going and
running ice in the rivers below. The cargo of
the Tiger, in the shape of two sled-loads of pork,
arrived here last week.
The editor of the Democrat denies ever
having eulogized Mr. Sibley, ami says he has
continually differed with that gentleman polit
ically. A print that makes so perfect a Pro
teusof itself as the Democrat, of course is liable
to forget this week what shape it assumed lust;
but its own columns will show that we have not
misrepresented it, and moreover on one occa
sion it endorsed Mr. Sibley'6 democracy to the
fullest extent. All Minnesota knows that.
Galena Items. —They were having “a spell
of weather," when wc left Galena on the 2CtU
ult., which appears to have continued some
days thereafter, judging by the following para
graphs from the Advertiser of tlie Gth inst:
"Tiivndeh Storm. —The wet and warm weath
er continues. Last night ive had a shower, ac
companied by vivid lightning and heavy thun
der. The roads have rarely liceii in a worse
condition."
"Navigation- Resumed. —The Lamartine ar
rived this morning from lielow. loaded down
w ith freight and passengers. There can be no
obstruction now to free navigation.”
Some swindler has been passing himself ofi'
with the honest name of our staid old friend,
the editor of the Advertiser, w hereat the latter,
very justly, waxctli severe and pointed, as fol
lows :
“A Great Rascii-—A man calling himself
Col. Houghton, has been swindling the good
people of Bloomington, in this State, in various
ways, but we are glad to learn, lie lias been
caught in St. Louis. We suppose the chap was
the more successful, because lie had covered
himself up with an honest name, which we hope
they wili strip off from the rascal aud make him
disclose his true one.”
The Advertiser's “head is right," also, in re
gard to the Sioux payment. It discourses as
follows in reference to the recent attempt at
repudiation on the part of the Indians:
“ Siocx Payment. —The Minnesotian says,
that the sum of SIOO,OOO of the Sioux payment
has been set apart to meet u portion of the in
debtedness to the traders of (hose Indians.—
This is all right. Most of what they are owing
is for goods advanced to them to keep them
from starving or freezing, and under circum
stances of great uncertainty whether they were
ever to be repaid. There may be some bogus
exceptions, difficult to distinguish, but the most
of the indebtedness is as justly due as any other
contracted in tlic common business of life where
both parties are better civilized.”
Sand for Glass. —lt is a fact not generally
known, that we have in our neighborhood, vast
bodies of beautiful white sand, from which a
superior article of glass may be manufactured.
Wo arc informed that Major McLean, of Ft.
Snelling, bad several articles manufactured
from this sand in "t. Louis some time since.—
The glass is said to lie exceedingly clear and
entirely free from blisters and defects Cf any
kind. No purer sand is lound any where in the
Valley of the Mississippi, and in abundance it
is inexhaustible. Capitalists concerned in this
department of manufactures, would do well to
give these facts their attention; and avail
themselves of the opportunity thus offered for
a profitable investment of their money.— St.
Anthony Express.
Our neighbor has made one trifling error in
the above statement. The articles in possess
ion of Maj. M'Lean were manufactured in Cin
cinnati instead of St. Louis. The sand of
which they are manufactured w as taken from a
well, excavated in the centre of St. Paul, du
ring the fall of 1811*. Three years ago, wc
called the attention of glass manufacturers to
this fact; and would now repeat, that the
chances of conducting this business here, with
great profit, have in no wise abated by the
lapse of time.
Politics at Washington.— While hundreds of
good citizens throughout the country are con
tinually in exceeding great turmoil at the
prospect of the “ country going to ruin,” the
“ great men” at Washington are taking matters
coolly, and laughing in their sleeves at the “ver
dancy” of the “ sores,” For illustration, read
the following truthful and life-like sketch by a
sprightly correspondent of a Southern ex
change :
Loth Room i.v titf.Capitol, —The best lunch
to be bad in the “city of magnificent distan
ces," is in the lunch room of the Capitol. The
readers of the universal Cotton Plant must
not be surprised to hear that within the walls
of the Capitol of this great Republic, is just as
snug and cozy a restaurant as can be found any
where in the world. Here chubby looking
pigs, that seem to have been (caught as the ar
tists have it) choaked in the agonies of death ;
turkeys and chickens kicking up their legs:
ducks with folded wings: beef beautifully
roasted: ham in champagne ;” suspicious look
ing bottles; long necked do.; short do.; silver
capped do.; black do.: blue do.; green do.;
square do.; and stout do.; with eggs, and but
ter, coffee, and sugar. Ac., are congregated to
satisfy “the assembled wisdom that all's right
in the country.” (The roast pig which looks
as though it had died of apoplexy, shows
that.)
It is a marvellous sight to see Gen. Cass and
Gen. Husk talking over the “Texas boundary"
with their mouthsfull of bread and butter; to see
Sumner and Clemens, visa vis, over the agoniz
ing turkey ; to deliberate upon the sublimity
of Seward, preferring his fingers to a fork, as
he munches away at the “ drumsticks" of a
chicken, (of which lie is fond) I say it is a mar
velous sight :
Just fancy Old Jacinto and Borland—after a
tilt in the Senate to a breathless audience.
Houston —“ Borland, I rather got you on tlie
con-sti-tu-tion-al," —(his voice lost in a huge
mouthful of roast beef and dry crackers.)
Rorland —“ I don't know exactly,—(piece of
pickle)—l think the Constitution is clear on
the point. (Piece of ham.) There may be
some slight modification, (brandy and water.)—
duo the question ill all its expansions—(unbut-
tons the lower button of his waistcoat) —but
I'm of the opinion, General—(another piece of
ham) —that you arc wrong—(finishes the bran
dy and water.)
Just behind these Hale is making Hunter
laugh his eyes out ; near at hand .Soule and
Sibley, representing the extremes of the Miss
issippi V alley, are earnestly and fluently en
gaged, in French, touching the proposed Lou
isiana and Minnesota Railroad, while in a cor
ner you will see a couple of cabinet men, (the
“undertakers” of the Administration)—with
the “Speaker.” mingling the probability of a
war with England with a “ toddy," that would
even tempt Sam Houston.
The room is always open, but conducted
with great propriety.
There are many other “ nice little things"
about the Capitol.
Six Hoi rs from Bitfalo to Clf.vei.am>.—
The new line of Railroad between Buffalo and
Cleveland is completed, going west, a* follows:
First, the Buffalo and State Line Railroad,
reaching from Buffalo to the line between the
States of New York and Pennsylvania; second,
the Eric and Northwest Railroad, reaching
from tiie Eastern line of Pennsylvana to Erie :
third, the Railroad from Erie west, to the line
between Pennsylvania and Ohio; fourth, the
Railroad from tiie last mentioned line to Cleve
land. The passage can now be made between
the two cities, at all seasons of the year, in six
hours. The distance is about two hundred
miles.
The Fir Trade. —The furriers are beginning
to do a pretty brisk fall business, ami furs will
be very generally worn during the coming
winter. Some of*the last descriptions bring
extravagant prices—$1.">0 or S2OO not being
unfrequentlv given for a set. A large portion
of the most valuable imported furs go East—
the Boston ladies paving high prices rather
more readily than tiie New Yorkers. The
stock of furs now in this market is supposed to
be worth not far from $2,000,000. The largest
traders have stocks on hand ranging from s!>(>,-
000 to SIOO,OOO. While American ladies can
not lie suited with any thing found this side of
Hudson's Bay. Greece, or Germany, European
ladies are equally anxious to get furs from the
United States, and the rough skins of tiie fox.

The Washington correspondent of the Journal
of Commerce says, the surplus revenue of the
United Staees will be at least twenty millions
of dollars at the end of the present fiscal year.
Milwaukee by Gas Light.— On Wednesday
evening last our City was lit. for the first time,
with gas, and the manager of the Company, Mr.
John Lockwood, gave a handsome entertain
ment, in honor of the occasion, in Voting's Hall.
A capital repast, served up by Beldeu of the
“Home, the prince of caterers, and -qualified"
by Champagne of Home Manufacture (Long
worth's "sparkling Catawba") received full jus
tice at the hands of the invited guests: ami af
ter this business bad been satisfactorily disposed
of, speeeiies. songs and sentiments followed in ,
rapid succession till [east midnight. The occa
sion was a joyous one. and so the assembled
company deemed it. and a right merry time
they had; Mr. Fpliam, who 1 * presided, kept the
ball in motion with great spirit, admirably sec
onded bv his Honor, Mayor Crocker, w ho made
the speech of the evening.
The event deserved commemoration. It is the
fortunate cnnsuniatioti of an enterprise which
speaks well for the public spirit and liberality of
Milwaukee. All credit is due to Mr. John Lock
wood and bis indefatigable right hand man. Mr.

M'e learn that the Cleveland. Norwalk and
Toledo Railroad is short so much iron, by loss
on the Lake and delay in carriage, that the

Samlnsky Hegisti r.
Don't “ lay that flattering unction to your
soul,” neighbor Register. The last shipment
of iron for the road has boon made at Oswego,
and “ wind and weather permitting." the road
w ill be completed through by the first day of

Gkx. Scott. —lt is gratifying to perceive that
political hostility has not rendered the Demo
cratic party insensible to the brilliant militari
services of General Scott. At their New York
celebration, the following was given from the
chair among the regular toasts, and was drank
amidst hearty cheering :
“ Major General Winfield Scott: His emi
nent services as a military chieftain entitle him
to the grateful thanks of a free people.”
Several of the speakers referred to the reli
ance which the whole country would feel in
General Scott, as tin* commander of its atmics,
if war should unhappily break forth ; while
General \\ albralge went so far as to express a
hope tlia 1 the I’resiilent elect w ill recommend
the Senate to fvvest his late antagonist with
the honors of a Lieutei.'put General.— ltepublic.
G. G. Howland, Esq., who died s'pic months
ago in New \ork. left an estate valued a? near
ly tw o millions of dollars. A large portion Cf
his estate was in the stocks of various compan
ies, which were sold at auction on the lfith nit.
Hie stock of the Panama and San Francisco
line of steamers sold tor 12">, aud the Panama
Railroad sold lor 111 D>r every lUO paid in.
Hog Sfeculation-. —lt is said that .Mr. David
White, of Indiana, lately made the sum of SOO,-
000 by one sale of hogs, ow ing to the lute ex
traordinary rise in the price of that extraordi
nary animal, and he calculates to make $200,-
000 before the season closes. The spirit of
speculation is getting to be not a little rampant
in the land.
Child Exposed. —On Friday or Saturday last,
we understand, the conductor of one of the
trains on the Lake Shore Railroad, observed an
obstruction placed across the (rack of the Con
neaut bridge, timely enough to stop the pro
gress of the engine. On approaching it prov
ed to be a box, which w hen opened exposed to
view a fine, smiling babe! The child lias been
placed with the Superintendent of the Countv
infirmary.— Ash. Til.
Gold by the Ton. without Owners !—The
correspondent of the London Times, writing
from Melbourne, Australia, says:—
“ One circumstance is not, perhaps, altogeth
er undeserving of notice. There isnoiv at Mel
bourne a large quantity of gold, which was
sent from the diggings by escort, and which has
never l>ocn claimed. The amount is stated at
eight tons, and these eight tons of gold are
watched and warded bv a corporal and five
men.”
The same corrcspninMH* hfter noticing the
scarcity of means of transport to and from the
“ diggings,” adds:
"The last Government escorts of gold
were loaded in bags on the horses; The project
of a railway to Mount Alexander has been
started at Melbourne. The preliminaries are
settled, and great hopes are entertained of the
undertaking. There are just now 00,000 peo
ple at the Mount, and the cost of carriage for
Hour alone amounts to $120,000 per month!”
California Light House.— The first Light
House on tlie Pacific coast within the possess
ions of the l nited States has been erected and
lighted at San Francisco, by private enterprise.
Cpon the declivity below tlie light house a fog
bell has been placed. Both, the San Francisco
M big says, will prove of much service to ships
entering the harbor.
There is a report that some of the Sioux
chiefs have been behaving badly, and that Gov.
liamsey had been compelled to put one of
them in irons—something which the Governor
would not hesitate to do if the chief deserved
it.— Galena Adv.
Periis of the Deep.— On the 21st nit. the
propeller Sciota picked up a small boat on
Lake Michigan, containing several persons,
which had been ten days adrift, without fire nr
Avarm food. One of those rescued was an old
tar, w ho fought under I’erry on Lake Erie.
Mass-hthsetts. —The Electoral College of
Massachusetts met on the Ist inst., and C2 e *
thirteen votes for Winfield Scott and William
A. Graham, for President and Vico President
of the l nited States. Old Massachusetts is
walking out of the fog.— Catena Adr.
More noon Hi-.vrrxo.—Mr. C. A. Desilva. of
Dodgeville, brought us a tine fat buck last week,
weighing 120 pounds. This wasonc of 23 of the

The F. S. Steam Ship Princeton is a bad fail
ure. In her recent trip to Halifax six knots an
hour was the most that could be got out of her.
As one of the Japan Expedition she w ill prove
an incnmberance. The Mississippi is also very
slow. The Government, so far, has licen most
unfortunate in its construction of steamers.
None of our Public Vessels compare with the
Merchant Steamers. Why is this?—With ample
means and. as is supposed, able and experienced
Naval Architects and Engineers the Govern
ment ought to construct first-rate Vessels.—
Albany Journal.
The Liver Fills. —The Liver Pills of Dr
M’Lane w ere first used bv him exclusively in his
ow n practice. So efficacious were they in all
cases of Liver complaint, that they became fa
mous, and attracting the attention of the med
ical faculty, passed into general use. They act
with great certainty and regularity; the patient
almost immediately feels the dispersion of his
disease, and is gradually restored to health.
With some the effect is almost miraculous, fre
quently experiencing immediate relief, after
having, for months,resorted to drugs and mod- 1
icines of another description in vain. Diseases
of the Liver are very common in this country
ami are often frightful in character. Those who
experience any of the premonitory symptoms
of this dangerous and complicated disease,
should at once procure a box of Dr. MTame's
Pills, and perhaps, thereby, lie saved a world
of misery.
