THE MINNESOTIAN. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY RFID AY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1855. TO ADVERTISERS The Daily Mmnesotian, baring the LAHSEST OfRCULATION cf any Journal in the City, pre sents superior inducements to those who w.sh to make kuuwn their business to the Saint Paul public. Stehmbeatiag for Uij Compared with Previous Years. The following Article was prepared iu a great measure for yesterday’s iss e: As the period of navigation may now le considered closed for the season, the time for the annual u reckoning up ” has come-. By reference to our files and our Steamboat Register for 1855, we are enabled to present sundry tables, showing the amount of steam boating for the past twelve years, the time of the arrival and departure of first and last boats, the number of, days in each year of uninterrupted navigation, Ac. We may be permitted to remark that the steady growth of the steamboat interest since 184 G, exhib its as much as any other one thing the rapid development of the North-West. It will be j seen that nine years since there were only four or five boats who occasionally visited this region, when there were supplies to bring \ip for thesoliiers,lndians.furtradersorlum \>ermen, and that the capital invested in the boats could not have been more than forty thousand dollars; while during the season •just closed, sixty-eight steamers have been employed, involving a capital of not less than V>ne million of dollars. The following table will show the number of steamboat arrivals for 1855. War .Eagle 34 Montello 3 City Belle.; .. .... 33 Vienna 3 Gblden Era....... 32 Greek 51ave...... 3 H. S.

Of these upwards of 300 have been from Galena, Dunleit'u and Dubuque; 120 from the Minnesota River, mainly from points below the Rapids, as the river has been too low to admit of boats crossing fora great portion of the season; and the rest ViaVe been from St. Louis, Rock Island, and (point* <m the Ohio ‘River. Tire f«>fccfft*ng "Will show the number of arrivals during Vue last 12 years: 1844 there were 41 arrivals. 1845 “ 48 “ increase 17 per ct 1846 “ 24 “ devr’se 50 “ 1847 “ 47 “ increase 96 “ 1848 “ 63 “ “ 34 “ 1849 “ 85 “ “ 35 “ 1850 “ 104 “ “ 22 « 1851 “ 119 “ “ 14 « 1852 “ 171 “ “ 44 “ 1853 « 235 “ « 32 « 1854 « 310 “ “ 32 “ 1855 “ 563 “ « 40 “ This shows thart the ratio of increase has been greater this season tlia'rt any vAr for tl»e last eight years, and that the average rate of increase for the last ten years has been about per cent. Assuming that the average ratio of increase during the tteXt decade will be only half as much—viz. 18 per cent—and it win make the number of arrivals in 1865 amount to 2,900, or aWut 13 per day. The number of boats engaged in the trade in 1850 were 7 ; in 1851, 11; in 1852, 17 ; in 1853, 23; in 1854, 38-, and in 1855, 68. Tliis shows an average annual increase of 59 p r cent. If the ratio for the next ten years is only one-fourth of the above sum, it will give us in 1856 over 200 bolts trading with St. Paul. The following table Witt exhibit the dates of the arrival of the first boat from below 'Lake Pepin, for the same series of years : 1844 Ottter, Capt Harris, April 6; 1845 “ * “ u “ 6. 1846 Lynx, Capt. Atchison, March 31. ■ 1847—Cora, Capt. Throckmorton, April 7 1848— Senator, Capt. Harris. April 7. 1849 Highland Mary, Atchison, April 9. 1850— u “ “ 19. 1851— Nominee, Capt. Smithj April 4. 1852 “ u u « 16. 1853—West Newton, Harris, April 11. 1854 Nominee, Capt. Blakely, April 8. 1855 War Eagle, Capt. Harris, April 17 The following shows the time of the de- j .parture of the “ last boat,” and the numtier of days of navigation during the following 1 period': 1819, November 19—224 days of navigation, j 1850, “ 18—213 “ “ 1851, “ 20—230 “ “ 1852, “ 10—208 “ “ 1853, “ 22—225 “ “ 1854, “ 23—227 “ “ 1855, “ 19—216 “ “ From the above it will appear that the av erage period of arrival during the last twelve years has been on the 9th of April, and the average period for the departure of the “last boat” during the past seven years is on the 19th of November. The average number of day’s navigation for the same period is 211. —lt will thus be seen that the steamboat business of the Upper Mississippi has grown in a few years from a comparatively insignif icant business to one of the largest import ance; and if we are to “judge of the filture by the past,” figures only will be able, in a few years, to convey an idea of the commerce of the Northwest The trade on the Minnesota has grown up from nothing in the last three years. In 1850 was the first season a steam boat ever ascended that river above the Rap ids. In that year the Nominee, Anthony Wayne and the Yankee all went above that point—the Yankee reached a point above the mouth of tbe Blue Earth. The next j'ear witnessed tire treaty with the Sioux, and the year following (1851) was the first season that boats began to make trips up that riVer with any kind of regularity, and that year tbefe wSrc hut 13 arrivals. WiacMsia Eleetiea— t>oajla» «U La Palate Cona tie*. The Superior Chronicle of the 13th brings us the returns from the counties of Douglas and La Pointe. Much to our surprise, Doug las county, and its great city, Superior, have not nearly done as well for “Barstow and the balance” as they did for Rice and McCrack en, in Minnesota on the 9th of October.— Our DslegHtfe’s brother Orrin, it appears, does not go to Madison officially, this year, as we predicted some days since. Below we give the figilres, its Jwt forth bj’ the Chronicle. Strange as it may appear, Minnesota Point, a barren and uninhabited I sand-bar across the bay from Superior, gave more votes for Rice on the 9th erf" October than the great city of Superior did for Bar stow on the 6th of November. Perhaps our amiable neglibors of the Chronicle can unrav el the mystery connected with this feet. We copy the returns from the Chronicle. The editors, it will be seen, appear to rejoice at the election of Mr. Gray to the Assem bly over Orrin W. Rice: “The whole number of rotes cast were one hundred and two: FOR GOVERNOR Barstow, - - - - 88 Bashford, - 8 The vote for the remainder of each State ticket is in about the same proportion; FOR ASSEMBLY; Hiram Hayes is elected District Attorney; J. C. Hanley, Clerk of Circuit Court; E. C. Becker, Teasurer; Coroner, George Hall; Justices of the Peace, A. ZachaU, Charles Felt and Saxon Lyons. La Pointe County. —There Weft forty votes cast in tbte cOUnty. Barstow received the entire votei FOR ASSEMBLY. Rice, - 35 Gray, .... 5 We are glatl to know there are five Dem ocrats in that county who were tnle to their faith.” This intelligence, taken in connection With that already received from other parts of the State, renders the fact certain that Bashford is elected ! Three cheers for Republican Wisconsin!! Col. George W. Morgan, of Ohio, has been appointed by tbe President Consul to Marseilles. The Colonel was a distinguished officer in the Mexican War, and is an elder brother of our neighbor, the editor of the St. Peter Courier. John Van Buren —The Washington Union reads John Van Buren out of the Locofoco parly after this fashion: “ We have indicated pretty distinctly our opinion as to the propriety of allowing him to run at large in the Democratic fold any longer. As we have caught him secretly going over and ploughing with the abolition heifer, we shall use our influence to have the door closed against his return, llis perfor mances in coarse humor and slip-shod buf foonery have secured him from responsibility long enough ; it is time to treat him, tint as a political mountebank, but as a traitor to the Democratic party.” The Spanish language is said to be spoken by seventeen millions of persons in America and five millions in Asia. Where the Specie Goes.— The Presse, a Paris paper, has the follow ing explanation why the b&riks of England and France are impoverished in specie: Every one is aware of the principal rea sons which caused 6uch large quantities of specie to be drawn from the banks of Franee and England—money required in the Eastern war, and by the negotiation of the Turkish loan in London, the insufficiency of the crops which forced France to buy her grain abroad and also the high price of silver in compari son with gold. Every packet ship sent to China or to the Indies take on board more than feh millions of francs in silver, and there are also very large quantities sent to the United States. MiLAKdiT.—This name is becoming most popular in Paris. It is to be given to a new French steamer, which will be unchristened of its present name in consequence. Many horses are already in possession of it; a book has been published finder it j a shop has beeti dedicated to it) and a great-coat has been invented ia commemoration of it. Why was King Saul the first Know Nothing ? Because, when he got into a scrape, he called upon the spirit of “Samuel;” Land Surveys in New MEticb—-The Surveyor Geaeral of New Mexico writes to the Commissioner of the General Land Office from Santa Fe, that he has closed a contract for a survey of 6ix hundred miles of the cor rection or standard parallel lines east of the ■ principal meridian, and also west of Said me i ridian, and south of the base line. The dif ficulties of carrying forward these surveys during the dry season are represented to be very great. The deputy surveyors have been paying 75cents per gallon for water for them selves and nmles w hile sunning a large por tion of the work. Mr: Estate —The executors of the estate of Haniel Webster, have sent printed circulars to persons having claims against the same, m which it is stated that the nett amounts oT assets in their hands is $35,180 89, and the ffmount of claims is about $185,000. The executors are now making a distribution among the creditors. They divide twenty-one and three-quarters per centum, retaining in hand about one per Centum to defray the expenses and changes in the iffit against the city of New Orleans for a claim of $25,000 for counsel fees in the Gaines controversy.; _ _ Last Movement* at lha FlUlkMlerm. Everything was quiet on the Isthmus on the 3d insL, when the Northern Light left, and the passengers crossed in good time and 1 erfect safety. Col. Walker, leading the Democratic party in Nicaragua, had concluded a treaty of with the Chamorro party. Don Phw, River was appointed Provisional President (Col. Walker resigning) and sworn intooffict on the 31st of October, in the presence of A large assembly of the people at Grenadan Colonel Walker was appointed General arid Commander-in-Chief of the forces of Nica ragua. Parker 11. French, E6q., formerly rif the Sacramento Tribune, was appointed Com missioner of War, etc. General Chiiion had been sent to Leon with 150 men. It i§ re ported that he had had an engagement at Nicaragua with Mendez and GOO trdbpS, and defeated him. Don Mateo Alanforga, Secretary of Stated was execdtbd bn the Plaza, his party having fired into the American passengers on the Uncle Sam and Star of the West. The American Minister and all the prisoners had been released. The people of Nicaragua seemed much pleased with the change in affairs. Great satisfaction was expressed with the treaty of peace and all the appointments. Walker punished severely all offences among his own or native troops. No misconduct of any kind was allowed. Ihe Sierra Nevada brought down a large force of volunteers to join the Democratic party under Gen. Walker. Col. E. J. C. Kewen, a distinguished lawyer of San Fran cisco, was among the number. Kinney still remained at Greytown with only ten or twelve men—some of whom are suffering from sickness—Simeon Forrester, of Salem, Mass., one of his party, having died. Walk er’s men were anxious to be allowed to drive Kinney and bis men out of the country. WuUajlw Territory—ladian Disturbances. We have received by the Columbia files of the Puget Sound Courier to the sth inst. They are principally taken up with the In dian disturbances m that neighborhood. We copy the following from the Courier of the latest dates: By persons from Seattle we learn that five citizfcns of that place, who left in different companies for the Coleville mines, have been murdered on the east side of the Cascade mountains. We have the particulars con cerning two, Messrs. W alker and Jameson. The names of the others are Stevens, Fanioy and Eaton. J Mr. Merrilet, one of those who escaped, reports that the patty left Seattle w ith pack animals and provisions, to prospect the east ern scope Of the Cascade Mountains. The party, consisting of five persons, crossed through the Snoqualmoo pass, and prospected to the Yakima valley. W hen within twenty miles of the Catholic miseion they concluded to start for Colville. After they had started for thd Colville COttdtfj they Were overtaken by two Indians mounted ah<l well armed, who inquired where they were going, and on being told to Fort Colville, replied that they were on the wrong trail, but if they would follow them they would show the right otie; The party assented and wheeled about, trav eling back nearly to the camping ground of the previous night. Two of the party, Messrs. Jameson and Walker, got ahead of the party about half a mile, accompanied by the Indians, When two shots were heard by the party in the redri nothing was t.h/*»ght of the report at the time, but oil cPmilig up to the spot, found their two comrades lying in the trail, shot through thfeir backs. Wal der was shot dead, but Jameson was alive when first discovered, and remarked that they were shot by the Indians, and imme diately expired; The Indians had stripped them of fire arms and accoutrements, and driven off their horses. The party after a few moments consultation, cut the pack saddles from the animals, and taking some pork and Hour, left the trail and took to the hills, traveling till midnight. Next day on striking the trail they saw the tracks‘of a band of Indians following them, whereupon they took to the hills again, and after six days of toil and privation reached Seattle. A fort is being built at Seattle, by the ci tizens residing there, for the better protec tion against the Indians. Great apprehen sion is felt that they may attack the place ; about all the people living back have left their farms and irioVed into town. A company of U. S. troops, commanded by Lieut. Slaughter, had left Steilacoom for the purpose of chastising the hostile Indians east of the mountains. Sisters of Charity it Alton. —A cor respondent of the St. Louis Republican states that the Sisters of Charity are about estab lishing themselves permanently at Alton.— They have purchased a large building in the lower part of the city for educational purpo ses, and will open a Young Ladies’ Seminary in due t ime. The lots are already purchased also for a hospital, of which the Sisters will have charge. The efforts to establish these institutions are partly due to the action of the recent Provincial Catholic Council in St. Louis, whereby the Alton Church was made the head of a diocese for Southern Illinois, and they have been aided in a very liberal manner by the Protestant portion of the people. M :ss Andrews.— The Washington papers notice among the guests at the National Ho tel, Miss Anne M. Andrews, the young lady who so heroically devoted her services to the suffering poor of Norfolk during the late ep idemic in that city. Some testimonial to show the appreciation of her service is sug gested. Seeing the Hawk. —ln a breath of prom ise case recently decided at Sprihgfield, Mas sachusetts, Mr. Frederick Dwight was re fieTed of the sum of $2,500 for the benefit of Eunice C. Culver, whose affections he had trifled with. Among other facts brought out during the trial was one in relation to a very large hawk, which Fred had exhibited to Eunice. The way it hSpphned was detailed by Eunice’s mother, in Court, ifa this wise : “At one time Dwight SaW fetiniee mopping the floor. He asked her to come to the door and se a big hawk there was there; She went out, and in a moment I went oiit to see the hawk too. I did not see any hawk, but I did see Dwight with his arm around Eunice’s waist. I saw him kiss her, and tell her he didn’t want to see her mop floors.— She said that she could do it better than mother.” Belgium is the great glove manu factory 6f the world.

We are indebted to Mr, Galbraith, of the Crescent City Express, for the following par ticulars of the openitig of an Indian war in Rogue River Valley- As to the leading cau ses of this outbreaki tfite massacre of the mi ners on the Upper Rlamath. in the latter put of July, the murder of Several packers, teamsters and travelers,, on the different routes near the Oregon bd’indary line, and more recently, the killing of two wagoners and ther six teams near Cottonwood by the Indians; all these must still be fresh in the recollection of our readers. T 1 e military at Fort Lane, Oregon Territory, seemed to be powerless in either restraining or punishing the marauders, and the goadea population tvere at last compelled to rise fdr their own protection. Mr. Galbraith left Jacksonville on Tues day, the 9th inst., and the fidlowing are the tttftin events which happened np to that time: A Volunteer force of 100 or 124 men had been formed, and after having completed their arrangements, they proceeded on Sun day evening, the 7th inst., to the mouth of Butte Creek, in the vicinity of Fort Lane, in several parties, according to the number of the Rancherias and befinteanded respectively by Major Dupton, 3G men; Captain Williams 14; Messrs. Bruce, Miller and Hays, 11 men each; Mr. Harris, 18; and Mr. Newcomb, 17 men. Early on Monday morning, the volun teers approached Rancherias and tbe Indians first fired i pin Harris’ command. The fight then became general and cr.de:! :r the tetr! defeat of the Indians, forty of whom were left dead on the ground, and afterwards bur ied by the mditary from Fort Lane. Of the volunteers, twelve men were wounded; one of their number, Major Lupton, who had re ceived an arrow in the left breast, died on Monday night; and another, named Shep pard, wounded in the abdomen, it is thought will not recover. Mr. Galbraith also states that on Tuesday it was reported at Jackson ville that the Indians had burnt the house of Mr. Jones, while the owner himself was kill ed and his wif£severely, wounded. Dr. Bark well was called to atteild on the lady, but it is thought she cannot recover. Messrs. Wag oner, Evans and Tuff, are also supposed to have been killed and their houses and prop erty destroyed. Dr. Crane, U; S: A., and Dr. Barkwell were indefatigable in their ex ertions to assist and relieve the wounded. Major Haller Surrounded. —The Belle has jwst arrived, and brings the startling news that the troops under command of Major Haller have been sbrrounded by the Indians at a point about twenty-five miles from the Dalles toeacfe tricto Haller’s position is upon a hill, with ra vines and brush around him. His troops and animals have been without water for forty eight hours. The Indians are constantly fir ing upon them. He was enabled to send a messenger through the ranks of the Indians ih the night, and he reached the Dalles Mon day evening at 8 o’clock. The steamer Was co left immediately for the Cascades and the Belle brought the express to Vancouver forth - with; She arrived here to-day about twelve o’clock. Immediately on the arrival of the messenger at the Dalles, Lieut. Day prepar ed to leave for the seat of war with the re maining foment thp Dsilles, numbering about ohfe hundred and fifty meh. He was to leave this morning about daylight* Major Haller calls for a thousand mctl to aid him. We learn that a requisition has been made out for that number and forwarded to the proper officers. Frottt bur informant we learned that several of the beseiged had been killed. Our information was hastily feceived and may be incorrect ih some of its parts; but we give it as we received it, hoping it may not prove so disastrous as we understood it. Now is the time for action: Mcrder or Mr. Bolon, Indian Agent. —The report that Mr. Bolon had been killed is confirmed by further testimony. A Cath olic Misslofiafy at the Yakima haS reported his death to the Mission at the Dalles. The maimer of his death was as follows: Bolon had been to the Yakima Mission and was re turning to the Dalles; three Indians came up with him, and after riding along some little distance, one of the party, son of a Chief, fell behind the others, ind shot feolon ih the back of the head. Another report 6ays that aftfer shooting him they cut his throat. Net*' Tdßk, Nov. 14. The Washington correspondent of the Daily Times says the Administration has not the slightest evidence that the British fleet intends to menace the United States on any ground, and that all statements in regard to the harsh correspondence regarding the Central American question, is positively false, no demand having been made for Brit ish acquiescence in our construction of the Clayton aud Bulwer Treaty. The sloop-of-war Saratoga, which sailed from this port yesterday, is bound for Port au Prince, to bring the barque recently seized there by the U. S. Consul, to New York for trial. The Washington correspondent of the Tribune says the Secretary of the Navy has ordered a ship of the Pacific squadron to proceed at once to the newly discovered Islands, to protect an American ship master who is the discoverer of the Islands, which are said to contain immense quantities of Guano. New Orleans, Nov. 13. The latest election returns indicate a De mocratic majority for the State ticket of about 2,000. We are in receipt of later dates from Tex as. Gov. Pease had sent bis message to the Legislature. He justifies the proceedings of Capt. CalUh&n, but Opposes unauthorized expeditions in Mexifco for the purpose of chastising the Indians. A patient in the iunatic afeylum at St. John, ?L 8., named John E. Clark, killed two of his attendants, on the 29th, by cut ting them to pieces.

JOSffCA BRAD LET, In the 84th year of his age. Mr. R. had for several weeks previously been confined to his bed with the illness which resulted In his decease, aud through the whole of It practically discovered the possession of that peace and hope whicb he bad so often declared ibe Christian alone bad a right to eujov at the portals cf the gra/e. He sweetly saok away, break I nj: out a short while befofe hit death in a stream of melody and triumphant Joy, which they who heard It will ever recollect as the expression of a faith and confidence In the Savior, which in hia life time since his youth hail never been shaken, and which now that he was to pass through the gates of Death seemed more assured and triumphing than ever. The life of Father Bradley, (as he has ever affectionately and reveredly been Called among us) has bee* an even ful bue Ills untiring and successful effort in the establishment of schools for the education of youth any the promotion of piety among men are known to many; but it is due to the pnblic and to the virtues of the deceased, that a more extended nc tce of these efforts should be jflveh. Such a a dice It is hoped may yet appear from the pen of s ms one of his numerous friends among the clergy, who may Ie competent for the task. Mr. Bradley leaves a widow, who has watched over the deceased with all the affection and tenderness it a devo ted wife ami faithful Chrti-tlan, to mourn his death. May that Saviour who has proved so glorious a stay and comforter to the deceased In his long and eventful life, and whom he found still more precious In death, be not less her stay, comfort and crown in life and death.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF BRIER ROOT, The best, most effectual, safe and Tellable Medicine ev er used lor Dysentery, Diarrhoea, CLolera Morbus, Cholera Infantum, Summer Complaints, Week and Relaxed Bou els of Old and Young; also a sover eign REMEDY FOR ASIATIC CHOLERA, IN ITS FIRST ST/.GES. fBl HIS medicine has been in u?e some yi ars, and has A established a ret utation, as far as it Is known, unsurpassed by any medicine iu the world, without the aid of puffing or advertisements of any kind, and the present proprietor is only induced to resort to the col umns of Newspapers for the purpose of giving to the whole body of the American people the knowledge which experience can only give to the few. THE BRIER ROOT SYRUP is the result of many years Investigation < f the causes of Bowel Complaints, atid the adaptationof vegetable rem edies to their cure. The properties of the different druga Anil uiNiiciues in the shops are so well known, that any person with a common share of knowledge and judg ment, tan tell what will have a tendency to relax, and what to constipate the bowels. All know that opium, while It stupifles the system, has a tendency to check the action of the bowels, and that castor oil, and Jalap, and a variety of other medicines, have an opposite tendency. And who does not knew that an over dose of opium li death ? and so of most of the medicines In use. The great aim among physicians has been to compound medicines of this kind in such quantities that the diseased wliibe removed, and the medicin e fall short of produc ing death ! This object Is generally accomplished, by a knowledge of the strength of the poison; hut the result ts, that while one property of the medicine is remo\!ng the disease, another Is poisoning the system, and sap ping the foundations of health, so that each cu r e bring* the unfortunate patient one stage nearer grave, or to an impotent aud unhappy old age. Doctor Gallup vas early struek*r, nh this peculi arity In the nature of medicines ap'fi their effects, and devoted hls time to the discovery of a remedy. Aftet several years spent in fruitions labor, he finally succeed ed iu demonstranlng the fact,that, In vegetable extracts, the poisonous principle can he separated from the cura tive, and that they are no way dependent upon each oth er for their effects. He a Iso succeeded in discovering a method of separating them, that was easy and practi cable. THIS GREAT DISCOVERY enabled him to accomplish what he had been seeking after lor yea*s ; a compound of estringedt and healing properties, which willcure all the dangerous and anoy i ihg diseases of the bowels, withoui endangering the Ufa of the patient’ ! Su hls the origin of the Syrup of Brier stich fts advantages o»cr other medicine. It.effects a cure in one quarter the time reqired by or dinary medicine! It leaves no mineral or vegetable poison la the’system to be removed ! It never carries the system to the oppotltc extreme, but restores the equilibrium, and leaves the bowels la their natural state! ltnever induces a diseased action of,the system in any respect! It is pleasant to the tastrs and never produces nausea. It will also effect a cure if taken before the patient is absolutely incurable! It can in no case produce death, or induce disease ! Its effect on children is astringent andquieting, being! the best cordial known ! Thousands Of Certificates as to Us effects, and the cures It has wrought, can be produced, but a medicine, having the proprietors oi this * Syrup, needs no pralsa but its own merits. I have done my uuty in bringing the "medicine to the notice of THE PEOPLE, and It Is their dufy to investigate themselves, and the only sure way to do this ts to GIVE IT A TRIAL. It is manufactured only by DWIGHT CHAPIN, suc cessor to G. Cook, at No. 49 WASHINGTON STREET, ALBANY, N. Y., and all orders will be promptly attended to by him or hls agents, and the medicine may be had of Druggists generally throughout the country. APPLY AS ABOVE, OR TO A. W.
