HE MINNESOTIAN. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31, 1866. TO advertisers. ‘Th« Daily Mianaaotian, haying the LARGEST OIKOULATION cf any Journal in the City, pre *-r at * enperior inducement* to those who wish to <nq£* known their business to the Saint Paul pnMic. Republican Candidate for Delegate, WM. R. MARSHALL Conventions. —There will be a convention by the Republicans of Dakota county, to-mor kow at Carr’s, for the purpose of nominating suitable persons to be supported by the Re publicans at the coming election. Dakota county is entitled to one Councillor and two Representatives in the next Legislature, and there are also to be a whole batch of county officers elected. The Olmsted Democrats will hold their convention at tl e same time and near the same place. The Republicans of Goodhue, Dodge and Freeborn counties, also meet in convention to-morrow at Red Wing for the purpose of making nominations for the Legislature. The Republicans are every where awake to the importance of nominating their best men for the various offices to be filled this fall. They deem it far better to be beat with a good and caj«ble man as their standard bearer, than to be instrumental in elevating an unworthy person to a station that he is not capable of occupying. Improvements —Neighbor Marvin, of the St. Paul Crockery Store, is about to com mence the erection of two brick stores on the vacant lot on Tkiid street, belonging to the Goodhue heirs. Mr. Drew will also put up a building adjoining, this fall or next spring Workmen are busily engaged in framing buildings that are soon to be erected on St. Anthonj- street, nearlyaopposite the Presby terian Church. The Democrat says that “ the Min iK'sotian scorns to be very much hurt ” be cause the so-called German meeting of last Saturday evening did not express an opinion on the various questions of the day. Not at all, sir; we care not a fig about it. We only mentioned the matter to show that the Rice meeting was not the true expression of the German sentiment of the place —a fact which any one who examines the proceed ings published in the Democrat would readily set*, and which is abundantly proven by the action of tlie preceding and subsequent meet ings. The War Eagle came in on Wed nesday evening. She reports the river fall ing all the way down. She was detained for some time at Beef Slough. The City Belle will lie the regular jacket for below this day. Abiott Lawkince. —A specimen Ameri can was the late Abbott Lawrence. A co teinpotary, in speaking of his character, remarks: An*.flier trait of his character, which cn- j dcared him to all who knew him, ought not to !•<• forgotten ; we mean his kindness to all, i rich and poor who approached him. Wealth | never separated him from his acquaintances, and the friends of his youth were not shun ned in the days of his prosperity. It was this characteristic, far more than his wealth, which made him so much the favorite of his fellow citiKens. There was nothing selfish or envious in his nature, and during all his life he treated men as his equals. The 11. S. Allen and -J. B. Gordon were in port yesterday from the Minnesota River. Moses, Kettering & Cleland have just received a large stock of coats, which they will disjiose of cheap.

We subjoin tbc following notice of our thriving city, from his paper:— Pr. Pace. —This five year old city is the greatest wonder of the Northwest. Six months previous to the time that J. M. Good hue started the Minnesota Pioneer, the siteof St. Paul was two hundred and fifty miles deep in the howling wilderness, (only there was nobody there to howl.) It lias all the appearance of an old metropilis. Nothing indicative of infancy—no symtom of a new country remains. Here are four daily papers, .all apimrently well supported. The Capitol buildings loom up as grandly as if they hail witnessed a hundred sessions of the Legisla ture. Nothing but gas lights and theatres remain to l*c added to St. Paul’s claims as a first class city, and they will not long so re main. During our brief stay at St* Paul we tarried at the WinsloW House—a first class Hotel, such as no other five year old city can show wc reck* »n. The public rooms are large and elegantly furnished. The sleeping apart ments nd more than ordinarily close and pent up. the bill of fare ample and attractive, and the attention to the wishes and comforts of prompt and civil.

CmirMNem tf the HlnutUu. Panton, VL, August 15, 1855. Dear Mixnesotian:— l am still, as you see rambling among the green hills of my native State. Last week it was my pleasure to be present at the annual commencement exercises of Middlebury College, an- old and renowned institution. It is in a prosperous condition, with President Labaree at its head and an able corps of Professors. The gra duating class acquitted themselves with dig nity, and honor to themselves and their Alma Mater. We stta.ll be disappointed if some of them do not eventually amount as high on the ladder of Fame as some who before, on like occasion, have stood upon that platform. The addresses before the Philomathisian and Philadelphian Societies and Alumni were by Professor Lewis of Remin College, Rev. Byron Sunderland, of Washington, D. C., and Rev. Dr. Stone, President of University at Kalamazoo, Michigan—all rich in thought, sound in logic, and sparkling with poetic fancy. The Poet orator was Mr. Parker, of Brooklyn. The poem was a rich gem of inventive genius, but the brilliant mind of the writer is evidently soon to glow in brighter spheres where it can swell in more glorious strains. His voice was too feeble to be heard distinctly but a few feet from the stand, and “passing away” is written on j every lineament of his lace. Alas snch | talents should so early withdraw its potent influence from earth. The whole terminated in a grand levee at Professor Bobbin’s in the evening, where learning, wit and fashion, vied for the mastery. And now commencement over, “ I stand upon my native hills again,” while emotions pleasing and painful at once swell my heart. Ever}' spot is fragrant with childhood memo ries. I roam amid the green old trees and the same dancing shadows intermingle with the merry sunlight. The same flowers are growing from the crevices of the same grey old rocks. The same gooseberry bushes are growing upon the ledge, and I pick therefrom the same rough fruit. The same birds are singinging in the basswood and elm. But the friends of my childhood where are they? Echo answers, “where are they ?” Igo to the country “grave yard,” and upon a white stone read the names of some with whom I have “taken sweet councils,” with whom.l have vied in school days and with whom “I have walked to the house of God in com pany,” and there comes a spirit whisper to my spirit, “They are before the Great White Throne.” The old Church is torn down, and one of more modem style in its place. The old homes ted remains, but I seek no kindred there, and the rose and myrtle vines which my own hands had trained with so much e-are, are overrun with weeds and thistles. The lofty elm, whose sweeping branches em braced the old farm-house, is cut down, and the dense foliage of the fruit trees is gone — they have withered and died from neglect. Home is home no longer. The murmuring brook flows untiringly on, and by its side still stands the stone school house where 1 learned my A. B. C., but its internal arrangement is changed and stranger faces appear behind those painted desks. The same dignified maps shadow its front, and as I see the merry children at play in the dark shade I apt lost in a dream of the Past. lam a child again, gathering pebbles from tbe brook to adorn our tiny play-house. I sit beneath the natural bridge which spans this streamlet whiling away the sunny moon, and watch the bird which always builds her nest in the crevice of the great blue rock above. But the waters have been gathered in an unruffled pool. A face is reflected therefrom, I start in surprise—my dream is o’er—it is tbe same, but change is legibly written there. Its roundness is gone and rigid care has left its traces. In short it is older than when the long warm summer days would seemingly never be gone, and when I only tired with chasing the butterfly and im prisoning the grasshopper. I start with the vague consciousness that years have flown, and that I have grown to be a woman—have battled with life’s stern realities in a far off land—yea, the beautiful West. But in my heart’s deep, inmost core, this is a sacred spot! “ Tlio’ years liad elapsed since T gazed on the scene Which my fancy still robed In its freshness so green— The spot when a school girl all thoughtless I strayed By t ie side of the stream in the gleam of the shade.” All! balmy childhood ! Thou art rich in fragrant SM-eets, and little, amid thy cherished sports, dids’t thou foreshadoM- Life’s real design —Life’s battle-field filled with thorny 1 laths and floM'ery lan-ns. But courage arms for every conflict. What a high and holy commission is life! What a sacred trust re posed in erring mortals. What M-eal or woe accrue from its use. Change is written on all bcloM' the sun. Few of my childhood friends remain—they are gone, “ Some to the bridal and seme to the tomb,” And I this moment stand amid earth’s most familiar scenes— alone! A century hence and those who are now the busy actors in life’s drama will all have passed away and another generation will tread upon their dust. The dead art; thfc tfeachefs of the living. The sweet odor of a good name and a life well spent, how precious. Florilla Fleetwood Wetting Bricks. —lt is important that every one engaged in building should be well inf inned in regard to the durability of ma terials. W e publish tl e following from an exchange: Very few people, or even builders, are aware of the advantage of wetting bricks be f >re laying them, or if aw are of it, they do not practice it. A wall twelve inches thick, built of goo l mortar with bricks well soaked, is stronger than one sixteen inches thick built dry*. The reason of this is, that if the br'cks are not well saturated with water, they w ill abstract from the mortar the moisture necessary to its crystalization; and on the contrary; they wiN unite chemically with the mortar, an l become solid as rock. On the. other hand, if the bricks are put up dry, they immediately take up all the moisture from the mortar, leaving it to dry and hard, and the consequence is, that when a building of this description is taken kown or tumbles down of its own accord, the mortar from it is jike so much sand. telegraphic. Arrival of the Aefcrgi L«W, New York, Aug. 24. The sfasjaer George Law arrived at 6 o’- clock this morning, M’ith Calfomif dates to to the Ist iust, and $1,300,000 in treasure. She connected M-ith the Golden Age, which brought down 1,600,000 to Panama. The chief consignees are Wells, Fargo & Co., W. Hogo, Metropolitan Bank, Drexel & Co.. A. Canney, Winott & Hooper, Read & Wait. The Electric Telegraph At the Isthmus is finished. Recent intelligence from Acapulco states that Alvarez is fost making his way to the city of Mexico, with a constantly increasing force. A gentleman came down in the Golden Age, on his way to the United States, with dispatches summoning Gen. Wheat, who is in the U. S. recruiting service to return imme diately, with or without recruits. When the Allied fleet arrived at Petropo lovrski, she found the town dismantled, the ships having sailed some time previous, tak ing with them their guns and stores. The Allied had sailed from Stika, whence they would proceed to San Francisco to refit. The second mate of the steamer Sierra Ne vada had been arrested at San Francisco, charged with committing a robbery of $40,- 000 in gold dust, while on her passage down in February last Capt. J. L. Fulson, one of the first settlers of San Francisco, died on the 2nd day of Ju ly. He was a native of New Hampshire and a graduate of West Point. The funeral cere monies were the most imposing ever held in California. All the city military, United States troops, Gen. Wool and staff and the various civic societies of San Francisco were in attendance. A magnificent cane, intended as a present for Gov. Gardner, of Massachusetts, from his Boston friends in San Francisco, was on ex hibition. It cost SSOOO. The visit of the Allied fleets to Stika was of a peaceful character. A compact existing between the Russian and English Govern ments exempts that place from molestation, it being the depot of the Russian America and Hudson’s Bay Companies. The machine shop of B. F. Case, on Ste venson street, San Francisco, with twenty other buildings, Mas destroyed by fire, July 18th. Loss $30,000. It M'as reported that neM' developments of a curious nature had turned up in the affairs of Adams & Co., in M'liich Santa Anna was implicated. Santa Anna’s complicity it is said had relation to the earnings of Mexican ounces. An expose of the M'hole affair, from one recently connected M'ith the house, Mas to be made soon. The steamship Cortes, M-hich arrived up July 30th had 19 death from cholera on board. The mining nou s wns flattering. Markets moderately active. Flour in moderate de mand. Ilaxel & Gallagher were jobbing at sl3. Suffolk at sl2. Pork $23, per bbl. The Allies at PetrapantroloM’ski bleu- up all the fortifications, storehouses and public buildings, which the Russian had forsaken. It is said to be a very strongly fortified place. A dispatch from the French and English Admirals says a French and English fleet had already proceeded hither from China. The Pacific fleet; after refitting at San Francisco, Mould, it is said, proceed there M-hen severe fighting might be expected. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 24. The yellow fever is still increasing. May or Wood has been attacked by it. During the 24 hours ending at noon to-day there were 178 deaths. New York, Aug. 24» The j r ijcct of starting a new paper as the £ * Liquor Oracle” in this city is said to have been abandoned, and the $12,350 that Mas to have been subscribed for the purpose is to be devoted to campaigning purpose. It is stated that Mayor Wood is about to prohibit tbe police from interfering in poli tic ? every M ay, under penalty of immediate dismissal from office. Rev. John Johnson, who lias been for more than half a century pastor of the Ist Presby terian Church in NcM'burg, died in that place last evening. Boston, Aug. 24. A Knou'-Nothing State Convention Mas held at Bellow’s Falls, Vermont, on Wednes day, and nominated Gov. Royce for re-elec tion. This meeting M’as considerably split up in opposition, and for from being unani mous. Mr. Abbott Lawrence bequeathed in liis will te.n thousand dollars to the Boston pub lic library—fifty thousand dollars to the law school in Cambridge. His other bequests are not yet made known to the public. Abdication .of Santa Anna Nem- Orleans, Aug. 25. The steamer Orizaba has arrived from Vera Cruz, with dates to the 22d. Santa Anna left Mexico August 7th with an escort of 2,500 men. On arriving at Pe rote he signed an abdication and embarked on the 17th at Vera Cruz for Savannah.— Tmo days after he left Mexico seven or eight of liis escort revolted and killed tM'o of his escort and jbined the insurgents. The Alvaras platform M'as adopted and the mob destroyed several houses, including that of Santa Anna’s mother-in-law. The appointment of Vidal, as Minister to Washington, had been revoked. A fight occurred betM-een two batallions and a regiment which had remained faithful to Santa Anna. The former u-ere beaten and lied to the mountains leaving 20 killed. Order M as fully restored. New York, Aug. 25, The Alta Californian says several well known citizens sailed in the Golden Age for Acapulco, to join Alverez’s army. Some of them were to take high official grades in the Mexican army. New York, Aug. 24. Our census are all in. The total population of the city is 624,000, being an increase of 109,00 since 1850. The Buffalo Republic gives an inci dent connected with the recent death of Capt. Titus, which is worthy of being made a note of. The wife of Capt. T. has for a long time held an insurance policy on his life, which expired about the time when he last sailed. He was notified of the fact, but stated that he could not then renew it, as he had not the money to.spa re. Before the thirty days time for renewal had elapsed, and only a few days before his death, a friend who was informed of the fact, paid the premium, and the wid ow is now entitled to $3,000 for her future maintuinance. The relief will be most ac ceptable, as it in reality r constitutes her en tire legacy. Look out for a Crash !—Our latest dates confirm the determination of some of the wealthy bankers in this State and Illinois to run out the Atlanta bank, Georgia. $250,- 000 more of their bills w ill be returned in a few days. We say to our friends look out for a (rank!—La Crosse Republican. Repablican Neetiag la Dakala Ce.

BARTON, Chairman. O. C. Gibbs, Sec’y. Mean Height of the Atlantic and Pa* cific Oceans the Same. —The Panama Star says: On the authority of Col. Lloyd and Capt. Falmar, who, in 1827, by order of Bolivar, made a series of levels from Panama to Cha gres, it has been very generally believed that there existed a difference of mean level bc tM-een the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and many ingenious theories have been devised to account for this (supposed) fact and elabo rate deductions m favor and against the prac ticability of a ship canal have been drawn therefrom. The difference of the mean height of the tu-o oceans M-as stated to be 3.52 feet the Pacific at Panama, being that much higher than the Atlantic at Chagres. It has been lately decided by Col. Tolton, after a series of careful tidal observations taken here and in AspinM-al (Navy Bay,) and connected by accurate levels along the line of the Railroad, that the mean height of the two oceans is exactly the same, although owing to the difference in the rite of the tide at both places there arc, of course, times M-hen one of the oceans is higher or lower than the other, but. their mean level, that is to say, their height at half tide, is uom- proven to be exactly the same. There is no doubt that Col. Lloyd’s error arose from imperfection in his instruments, and the difficulty he labored under in taking a large number of observations in M'liich mis takes are peculiarly liable to occur. More Butchery in Wisconsin. —The fol lowing is a letter to the Madison State Jour nal, dated Wiiitem-ateb, August 16. A man by tbe name of Burge, (or Birge.) residing at Whitewater, attempted to murder his wife, yesterday, by cutting her throat. He is an old man—some GO years of age. lie and his Mife lived M-illi one of .his sons. It scents that there had beenTnckerings between them for some time jmst. Yesterday, his son being absent at Janesville, the old man came home at noon, found his wife, daughter-in-law and grand son—a boy of 15 or 10 years old— at dinner. lie stepped up to his wife, threw one arm around her and M-ith the other drew a knife and attempted to cut her throat. He succeeded in cutting two horrible gashes, but from M’liich she may possibly recover M-ith proper treatment. In the meantime the grand-son sprang up, seized a revolver that M-as in the room and fired twice at his grand father, one charge taking effect in his right shoulder, inflicting a wound that will prove mortal. We are informed by a gentleman, m lio saM the old man after the affair, that the latter said he first conceived of the idea of murder ing his wife, last M eek, when absent at De troit. He lias been addicted to strong drinks, and M-as under their influence, M-e understand,. M-hen he attempted to carry out his fiendish purpose. Boston, August 20. A great fire occurred at Lewiston Falls on Fridav. A number of stores and other build ings M*ere burned, including all the business part of tbe town. The fire spread u-ith such rapidity, that scarcely any merchandize M'as saved. Loss SIOO,OOO, on which there Mas a partial insurance. The Auburn Bank build ing M as destroyed —all the books and papers belonging to it saved. The. Democratic Ad vocate office M'as also saved. The merchants of this city held a meeting to-day in Fanuel Hall, in testimony of their respect to the late Abbott Lawrence. Speech es Mere made by Hon. R. C. Winthrop, Ed- M-ard Everett, and J.
