Tlie orjjanizatiou is now perfect, and it will be seen that ilie first meeting of the Directors of the Board will be held this evening. St. Paul and I lie Commerce of the Great Lake*. ' How many of us have considered the import | ant fact, that St. Paul will be, next summer, I within less miles of New York and Boston, by | way of navigation down the Lakes, than is Ga lena? The Saut Ste. Marie Canal is finished, and tlie head of Cake Supciior in no mom din i taut from Buffalo, by water, than is the city ol Chicago. The largest class of steamers, pro pellers, brigs, schooners, and all manner of Lake craft, cau, as soon as navigation is open ed iu the spring, start simultaneously, some for Chicago, and others for the mouth of the St. Louis river, within the Territory of Minnesota, and all things being equal, the two fleets will arrive simultaneously at their different points of destinat'o 1. Freights thus shipped from Buffalo, aud consequently from New York or Boston, will cost no more for transportation when landed at the head of I.ake Superior, within one hundred and fifty miles of St. Paul, than they will landed at Chicago the same day, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles from Galena. Thus we have thirty miles in our favor in land transportation, ailtltd to the whole difference in water transportation, and the at tendant costs, between St. Paul and Galena. Taking other words to express what we mean and counting the distance between St. Paul and Galena at 1170 miles, we are by way ot Lake Su- j perior, lor all practical purposes of heavy trans portation, 400 miles nearer the great cities of the East than by way of Galena and Chicago. It does not require a moment's reflection by the practical business man, to see the advan tages that are to accrue to the whole of Minne sota by the opening of this great thoroughfare through the Saut Ste. Marie Canal. Why, if we of St. Paul should have next summer (and we should have!) as good a wagon road hence to Superior as we have to Fort Ripley,we could bring our goods through this channel, at as lit tle or perhaps less cost from the East than we now receive them by way of Chicago aud Ga lena. This is a stubborn fact, that can be de monstrated by figures, and we have uo fears of its being successfully controverted. But give us a Railroad, and that speedily, be tween the connecting points of the navigable waters of the Mississlopl nnd Lake Superior, and then calculate the amount that will be sav ed iu transportation from Hie nasi to Minneso ta ! See how the supplies of goods and wares which have flowed into Minnesota by the old line ofcommunicationwill commence coming the other way. As fardown the river as La Crosse, and Lansing even, the merchants can ship with profit from the East through tlie I.ake Superior | route ; for added to the less distance to be over ! come by land transportation, freights can be carried down stream on the Mississippi, or its ! great eastern tributary, the St. Croix, much i cheaper than they can upward. Here are a few commercial facts, worthy of thought by those who still would chain the Iron Horse by selfish policy or groundless doubts and scruples. Si’eeii Increased. —Passengers who left Du buque by Walker's line on Wednesday morn ing last, arrived here on Saturday of the same week at four P. M.—less than three and a half days. Steamboats s.-ldom do much better. jjjf)- We are now having some seasonable weather, and the sleighing is measurably good. pi3~ Burbank A Co. started out a very hea vy Express yesterday morning. The Express now goes by way ot mail route to Dub que. The ice on the river is rapidly improv ing under the prevailing “spell" of hard win ter. The Storm East. —The papers from the East are filled with details of the great storm which occurred recently on the sez-lioard and Lake Coast. Much property and many lives were lost. Gen. Cass not Laid Up.—The Detroit Times announces that the friends of Gen. Cass will bring him forward before the Baltimore Con vention of 185fi, for the Presidency. He is to stand on ilie old Baltimore Platform, which he himself has already interpreted to embrace a Popular Sovereignty plaDk. It is expressly stated that the friends of Gen. Cass will not surrender their claims to Judge Douglas. p:ij- The October earnings of twenty of the principal railroads in this country in ISJ4 and 1853, the New York and Erie not included, foot up as follows: —In 1854, $3,018,343; in 1853. $1,953,413. Among these, the New York Cen tral takes the lead ; the receipts for the last month reaching the sum of $638,789. The next highest is the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad— s323,l3s. Timely Aid. —The Glasgow Times says that one hundred persons lately left Saline county, Mo., for Kansas, and were in that Territory in time to look after the election of Delegate to Congress. Hard Times in Socth Carolina. —The Gover nor of South Carolina, in bis message to the Legislature last week says there has not been as great stringency in money matters since 1837. Happy and Lucky. —When Gen. Lafayette was in the country, two young men were in troduced to him. He said to one, “Are you married?'’ “Yes, sir,’’was the reply. “Hap py man,” quoth the General. He put the same question to the other, who replied. “I am a bachelor.” “Lucky dog,” said the Gen eral. This is the best essay on matrimony ex tant. For the M iimraottan.

As places spring from obscurity, and assume positions of importance in the commercial world, the wants and necessities of such, at first limited aud few, become wide and far | reaching. | St. Paul, which but a short time ago, was a , meagre collection of log buildings, has advanc ed rapidly from that obscure beginning, and is . now regarded as a place of rapidly rising im | portance throughout our entire country.— ! Probably no place within the limits of the | United States, if we except the almost magical | growth ol the towns and cities of California, has advanced as rapiply as it has done in all that constituted the elements of a truly pros j perous place. Its position at the head of prac j tical steamboat navigation of one amongst tlie | noblest rivers of the globe, lias been, no doubt, ■ one of the chief causes of its unexampled pros j perity. But in addition to this, it is the capi | tal, and at the same time, the metropolis ol a , large Territory w hose prospects for the future are in the highest degree bright and flattering —a Territory possessing a soil not surpassed for richness ami fertility by any portion ofour ! widely extended country—with a climate j bright, healthful and invigorating iu the high est degree, stimulating the energies of man in the varied pursuits of life, —together with a country abounding with bright streams of the purest waters, and innumerable lakes of the rarest beauty, lying nestled in the bosoms of its gentle undulations. A Territory possessing these natufal advan tages, of far greater importance to it than w ould be the richest mines of Mexico or Peru, must, in the natural and irresistablc course of j | events, become very soon, the home of a dense, : industrous and enterprising population. St. j Paul, from is position, is naturally, and from its rapid advance, unavoidably the business centre of this Territory, and as such, has a du ty to perform, its citizens are called upon to employ their energies in doing w hatever may ! contribute to the prosperity of itself,and there by indirectly promote the welfare of the Terri tory. As a step in the performance of this duly, the business men ofSt. Paul have recently mcl together and organized a ‘’Board ot Trade,’’ ' a measure imperiously called for by the de mands of its constantly increasing business.— The sphere of the duties of such an organiza tion is indicated by the title. Its operations 1 will legitimately extend to the consideration of everything w hich may affect the business in terests of the community, and the performance of w hatever will tend to the increase and ex tension of the trade, nnd the just regulation of its business affairs. Trade constitutes the great business of life w ith the most of men.— The numerous wants of a civilized community render it a necessity and it is therefore inti mately connected with the happiness of man kind. Such being the case, its proper regula tion becomes a permanent duty with every community. i In the operations of trade, difficulties are con- j stantly arising between parties, w hich from the | different habits of thinking among men, and from the struggle of the passions, are difficult iof adjustment. It will be one of the legitimate duties of tlie Board of Trade to settle such dif ferences when referred to it. Another import ant duty will be at some future time—the nc j cessity for it at present, hardly exists—to fix uniform market prices, at different times, to the principal and most important articles of I commerce, in order to establish as much uni formity as possible in business operations. A further duty will devolve upon it, in the prevention of fraudulent practices among busi ness men. as well as to give some attention to the business character of the merchants of St. Paul, iu order that the worthy may not suffer from the acts of the unprincipled and design ing. Money being the great medium for the exchange or values, will, as a mallei ol course, claim a large share of attention. It is rather a misfortune for the people of this country that we have not some more secure system of bank ing amongst us than those already existing. Every day's experience sadly demonstrates that these systems, through the dishonesty of men, arc liable to the worst abuses, and repeat-, , ed losses are entailed upon the community, j which too frequently fall upon those who are the least able to bear them. The well-inform ed and shrewd business man can, in many cases, avoid the falling ruins, whereas many classes ' of the community, destitute of proper informn -1 tion, find too often that the rewards of their toil and their means of sustenance lies in the promises to pay ot some skilful and unprinci pled financial juggler, or of some rotten, broken down banking institution. The severe and bit | ter lessons of the past does not seem to teach wisdom in the future ; aud as we despair of ever seeing a much better state of banking af i fairs than we already have, it becomes us to do | the best wc can. under the circumstances. It will, therefore, be among the first, as it is in deed the most pressing duty of the Board, at this time, to take into consideration the state ot the currency, and endeavor to establish some regulation by which order can be brought out of the chaos and confusion which exists. The chief difficulties, in reference to this mat ter can be lessened, and in a great measure ob viated, bg a prior and united action on the part of the Board and the community. Another important matter for the conaidera- EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS tion and action of the Board will be the cen tralization ot trade to this point, by aiding in the establishment of steamboat lines, and the opening up of good roads, by wli'ch access to it can be had. Other matters, arising from the diversified operations of trade in tlie communi ty, will necessarily demand its attention. Such being the objects and aims of tiiis organization, seeking to gather strength from the united ef forts of the business men of this community, and having iu view the present, as well as the future welfare and prosperity of our city and Territory, it commends itself to the interests of all, and is but one of tlie steps which we hope to see takeu, in order to advance the true in terests of the city of St. Paul, and the Territory of Minnesota. Datem-out, lowa, Dec. S.

Prospects Brightening Tlio Boston Courier notices several indica t.ous for the better ill the business circles. Among them it mentions the following: 1. Foreign exchange has now fallen to such an extent that it is believed that very little fur ther specie w ill be exported. 2. Monetary affairs are improving iu the West. 1 lie receipts of gold from California by tlie George Law, w ere considerably larger than was expected. ■f. The Atlantic fur Liverpool took out only $226,000 in specie. 5. The general imports continue to diminish and the orders for the spring are quite inude ral e. 6. The drain of specie from England to the In dies is slopped, and it is beginning to return in large amounts. 7. The Indiana Bank excitement lias subsid ed, and the Auditor at Indianapolis cancelled about $50,000 in bank bills per day. .Statu bonds are given in exchange, so that the aggre gate circulation of tlie banks is now less than $ 1.000.000. 8. The banks of most of the leading Atlantic cities have contracted their loans sufficiently, and will now be able to act on a more liberal policy. 9. The new cotton crop is coming, and the prospects look favorable. 10. Recent rains have swollen the stream*, aud thus enabled many mills to go into action that imd been compelled to stop by tbe long drought. 11. The New York Railroad Journal says that various new roads, the aggregate cost of which has been something like 00.000,000, will he rendered available next year, and thus divi dends may soon be expected upon this vast out lay. 12. The cholera and yellow fever have disap peared from the Southern and Western cities, and activity and cheerfulness have taken tho place ot despondency and gloom. These are certainly gratifying indications, and we revert to them with pleasure. A little more courage aod a little more confidence ami all will soon lie well again. Murder of a Wife—A Warning to Mischief Makers. —On Monday last a most brutal mur der was committed iu tlie town of Bose, Oak- Imul tuuiiii, I*/ a man namcl Footer. It ap pears that Foster has returned from California, alter a sojourn of about two years. While he was absent his wife remained at his residence in Rose, surrouuded by neighbors who respect ed her for goodness of heart and correct deport ment. Foster, however, never had been a fa vorite, and no sooner did he return than his enemies, under the guise of frienpship, began throwing out inuendoes concerniug the con duct of his wile while absent. They finally succeeded, fiends as they are, in poisoning his cup of domestic peace, by making him jealous ol his wife. The most trifling circumstances, under their devilish insinuations, grew to be crimes of the first magnitude, and tbe result has been the innscent wife was coldly murder ed and the husband shut up in jail, whence be is sure to go to the penitentiary for a long pe riod, if not fur life. The man whom those med dling fools have implicated with tbe alleged crime of the wife stands above reproach, and wc forbear to give his name to the world. On last Monday morning, Foster, excited by stories w ith which his neighbors bad been con stantly torturing him, boldly accused bis wife ot guilt. His threats and menaces became so tearful that she left tbe bouse to go to a near neighbor's, to escape from his wrath. Foster seized a large bowie-knife, pursued and over took her. He rudely seized her—and npou her refusing to return, he stabbed her cutting her breast and abdomen in a shocking manner, killing her instantly. This done, be surren dering himself to the Deputy Sheriff 1 , and was taken to Pontiac, where he is now confined, to await bis trial. — Detroit Daily Advertiser, uYov. 22.
