ST. O E O A A u. SWISSIIXLX. to rr.oruiETou THURSDAY, MAY 17th 1*00 TOL.S iSJ0...4e. 0 W N S. SAIUTOLOT] St. Cloud it the point at which, the Rett Riv er trains cross the Mississippi on their way to tit. Paul, which proves it to be the natural Junction of land travel between theao two great arteries of trade. It is at the present head of steam navigation on the Mississippi. Boats run regularly, during the Spring and early Hummer months, from St Anthony to this place. I The map gives its position correctly with reference to all the most important points in the Territory, but the peculiar beauty of its location, and fertility of the surrounding coun try cannot bo transcribed. Within fifteen mile of St. Cloud, on opposite sides of the river, and at dtifercnt poiuts of the compass «re eight lakes varying in sixo from 1 mile to 5 miles in circumference, ail, save one, beau tifl, exceedingly, three ol them at least, deep enough to float a man-of-war. Wooded banks, dean pebbly shores plentifully mixed with •ornelian and waters abundantly supplied ih fish. WhcUn or. Stevens made his survey of_ a northern railroad route to the Pacific in '63, he camped "on the western side of the Mis sissippi below Sauk Rapids." The place was nameless—the present site of St. Cloud but it is here his route leaves the river. In the sum mer of '65 a claim cabin was built on the spot where we now write, a good saw mill, the frame of a large Hotel and eight ot er dwell ings were put up that summer. This last fall thore were three hundred and thirty-two votes palled in tho precinct. Not the votes of Indi ans or Half Breeds, for there are none here.— A majority of the inhabitants of the country are hardy"Germans, with sturdy wives aud children cultivating the soil and working at mechanical employments. The subsoil is sandy and although the soil is from one to threo feet deep, a rich black loam eupporting a rank vegetation, the drainage is to perfect and the air so pure that breathiug la a perpetual pleasure. As yet, our physi eians have discovered no diseases peculiar to the climate, no indeg -nioua complaint except the "Minnesota Appetite" which requires one fourth more treatment than a modest Pennsyl vania or Ohio attack of a corresponding dis ease. Any body who wants to drink whiskey in peace had better not come here, for tho treaty by which the land was acquire I from the Sioux forbids its introduction and the Legislature has passed a law enforcing that provision but people of moderate means and industrious hab vrlio have children to educate, will find few places where the opportunity for correct moral training, healthy development of muscle, and the means of pecuniary independenee are bet ter combined. There areimmense tracts of pine lying above, from which the mills at St. Paul, St. Anthouy, and the Minnesota Valley are supplied. These employ a iarge and ever-increapiug force of men, horses snd oxen, who aro to be supplied wiih provisiona, clothing and feed. The soil is waiting for an opportunity to produce unlimi ted quantities of food, without troubling the farmer crushing clods while the Mississippi from 3t. Paul to Little Falls can afford to turn •:n a* ivimoet anv uoint and has water pow er eiic".t»h to do Ike manufacturing for a Con tinent Our natural meadow3 produce a grass from four to six feet high, and the beef killed off our prairies is quite equal to any stall fed we I ave ever eaten Our venison is fine at ten cents per pound, rabbits, prairie hens, partridges, ducks, &c, plenty. Thousands of bushels of eom-us for the hogs that are not hero to eat them. Fuel lor tne labor of cutting and haul iog off the ground and there is no likelihood •f the supply running out soon as the "Bigbeautiful Woods" extend from this place some twenty miles or more, down this side of the river and from eight to twelve miles back Our prairies are a 1 dotted with strips of wood land, "Oak Openings which just look like old orchards, dense thickets of plum trees bearing delieious fruit, grape vines, doing likewise, thousands of seres of hazel bushes and strawberry vines,en gaged iu the same business while some hun dred acres are in the cranberry trade and turn out an article, which for quantity and quailty eonnot be excelled. The blackberries red rasp berries and hops tack up their shingles in the woods and seldom dissappoint the most san guine expectations of their customers. There i.? still land ten or fifteen miles back Which sot tlera can get, at government price, hy building cabin and living on it until it comes into market. Actual settlers can buy lots here at from one to five hundred dollars, and specula tors can have the same lots at from five to fif een hundred la some of the river towns back, places that will be pleasant villages, lots can be had gratis by those who will build and live on them.— This, in places where a house can bo built for fifty dollars, that would be a palace compared to the rented in iargs eitie3 for and 5 dollars per month, while the lot, with only the aid of a grubbing hoe and a few days labor, would bring vegetables to feed a family, and every township has 600 acres appropriated to the support of schools. Seventy thousand acres are appropriated to State University. A fine building has already bejn erected for the use of that instic ution. It nituated a St. Anthony, built of stone on an emmer.es cominindiug a view of the falls, and so State in the Union has a better foundation for a good system of popular education. No ether prairie State is so well timbered as Min nesota and no State more abundantly supplied with ciear water. In the country surrounding St. Cloud and as far North and West as we have any reliable account, settlers find no difficults locating land on a running stream or trany P.trout lake with plenty of timber at hand for building, fencing and fuel, and as the land en the West side of the Upper Mississippi ig only open to pre-emption, there is little opportunity for speculators, and settlers have assurance of neighbors and that rapid increase in the value of their lands and in social advantages which arise from the system of land in limited quan tities to actual settlers. The country around St. Cloud, west of the Mississippi was purchased' of the. Indians in a treaty made with themjiy the Hon. Alexander Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by thi senate the same year. The Sioux had owned the land from 1827 but had not occupied it, and it was used as a hunting ground by the Winnebagoea whose land reached within four mile* north of St. Cloud. Their eountry was ceded to the United States by a treaty began with Commissioner Manypeny and ooaclnded at Washington in Feb. 1855 and ratified by the oeaate March 3d of the same year. In. Mayprize following they removed to their reservation on the Blae Earth river and only eince that time Las Siearxs County clamed kindred with oivil itatioa. -Thefirsthouse within thecorporated Units ofSt. Cleud was built by James Hitch ens for General Lowry. James Hitcheas being the first white man who sleptin a house here, is entitled to the distinction of being the "old- en innabitaut." The site of Lower St. Cloud was taken up as a claim by Martin Welly, a Norwegian, who sold his right to George F. Brott, who. surveyed and platted it in the spring ef'56. About the same time John L. Wilson surveyed and platted what is now called middle town, which adjoins and lies higher up the riv er, while General Lowry surveyed and platted upper town, called Lowry'a Addition, tho win ter following. It was Mr. Wilson who gave the town the name of St*. Cloud by this name it was incorporated in the winter of '55 '56.— The Land Office was removed in April '58 from Sauk Rapids to the Upper town. The post office is in Middle town, which is inhabited by in dustrious and well to do German Catholics.— The Catholic chapel is here, and the bell be longing to it, is the first church going bell in Stearns County and has also the distinction ot being the first audible in Sherburne and Benton counties which corner on the opposite side of the river. There too is a school kept by a com pany of Benedictine Nrns where music, draw ing, needlework and German are well taught by ladies ef polished manners and unusual proficiency. Lower town has two protestant churches, in process of erection, one quite completed We have a public school in the Everett Sehool house, and a handsome Library dedicated by Hon. Edward Everett. The engines of an ex cellent saw mill and plaining mill, sash facto ry and of a good flouring mill are this mo ment puffing away within half a dozen rods of our office. We have from five to six steamboat arrivals here weekly and the smallest propor tion of drones we have ever seen in any hive. In the fall of '56 Grasshoppers came tn a cloud and settled down in this and adjoining counties, destroying the greater portion of the crops. They deposited their larvse and died. Early in the spring of '57 the young brood came out and made such havoc that serious fears of famine were entertained by a large portion of the people but they left in July.and so many of the late crops survived, that with the full crops of particular places, where they did not appear, there was a large amount of food. In autumn it became a question wheth er there was enough for winter consumption with what the peoplehad the means of purchas ing from below. The German settlers were generally of the opinion that there was not,and tke Priests sent commissioners to Dubuque to ask contributions. When this became known in Lower St. Cloud Indignation meetings were held, and strong resolutions passed condemn ing measure as altogether unnecessary, and one calculated to do the country great injury by preventing emigration in the spring. The Correctness of this view of the case is now pro ven. The third week of May is here, potatoes sell at 26cts. per bushel, corn $1,00, wheat $1,26, oats, 80 cts. and we have heard of no instance in which any have suffered for want of food while a very large proportion of the emigrants who had last year designed emigra ting to this point have been deterred by this bugbear cry of famine, and have gone else where. The. time is now past at which the Grasshoppers appeared last spring, and the minds of the people are set on rest as the ques tion of whether they left lavte, last year, be fore they emigrated. It is evident that they went to other localities as they came here to eat, deposit? their eggs and die. There is no sign that they have left any deposits here, and as everybody is putting in a crop of some thing good to cat, we expect next fall to be en umbered with a surplus of the good things of his life, and to inundate St. Anthony Minne apolis and St. Paul, with vegetables and grain after supplying the Pine regions and the la borers on the Rail Road. ALEXAISTB-RI-A.. DrwabAO CoUBTT. This town is beautifully located in one of the finest Agricultural regions in the North West. It is inthe centre of the County and is admitted by all to occupy a natural point for Town.

Situated on the State Road to Breckinridge and Fort Abercrombie—equally distant from either—under the management of men possess ing the utmost energy, Alexandria bids fair to be one of the largest inland towns in Min nesota. The country to the south and west is Prairie and Timber in the finest proportion while to the North and East there extends an unbroken body of Woodland, the greater por tion of it being of good size and quality. The Prairies and Lakes in the vicinity de serve particular mention. Eden Prairie is ten miles long, and from one to one and a-half miles wide, with timber along the sides and is Well watered. It offers'superior facilities to Farmers and at many points along are beauti ful building spots on the shore of a beautiful lake. Garden Doer and Sedge Prairies are also worth the attention of Farmers, being of moderate size high upland and entirely enclosed with timber. These Prairies all di verge from the Town Site and are accessible to the State Road. Lake "Agnes" and "Wi nona," skirting "Eden Prairie," charming bod ies of water and for picturesque beauty cannot be surpassed.
