The F.lection.
(In Tuesday, our unnunl election swept over
the Territory, like it tornado from the pine forests I
of the North, and swept to the ground all the air
castles and towering hopes of the Federal Rice
party, leaving no hook unlevelled, for them to bung i
a hope upon A defeat so signal, an overthrow so
complete, such an absolute annihilation ot a party,
horse, foot and dagroons, has not been since the ;
Earth opened its mouth nod took in lvora and bis
| troops for breakfast. Iu St Paul precinct, where j
! the same Rice faction, beat us a year ago, two
votes, by unparralleled bribery and secret pipe
laying, tie v have this year been signally def-at
jed; having elected only u single justice rtf the
! peace, who was chosen for his qualifications, not
for his politics. We have carried the Legislature
throughout the Territory, triumphantly if not ex
clusively. The yeomanry, the people themselves,
| have thrashed, fanned out, and cleaned out the
j Rice party, most beautifully. The polls wore
ojiened at about nine o’clock iu the morning, with
much spirit. The Rice party took possession of
the poll* and kept possession all day. They of
fered a very largo number of new voters, many
of w bom wire challenged. As no steamboat,
uf!er the fir*t arrival in the spring, could have
brought immigrants early enough to tbe Territory,
to be legal voters at this election, it soon became
I a matter of wonder, how the Nominee, on her
first trip n;», could have brought such a multitude;
1 and that all came by the first boat. In fact, it is
believed there was soiua terrible hard swearing
done, to get in votes. The Rice party have been
very busy all the season in beating an empty bass
1 drum, for recruits, especially for the Irish, who
are an enthusiastic, impulsive people, 'lire lead
ers, without a democratic feeling or principle in
them, well knowing tho power of a name, dts
guised the old Rice party in the panop'y of dem
| ocrary, to attract voter*—being thereby, ostenti
bly to strangers. The Democratic Party; hut iu
, reality, no more tire Democratic party, than a
horde of Mussu'men, seizing the cross for u ban
ner, would be the Holy Catholic Church. 'I hey
have thus attracted some votes, wlii'e they have
repelled even mote votes, by their bold hypocrisy
and bare-faced, nauseous d ouugogulsm. Ten
o’clock in the morning. Half a dozen stage
coaches are engaged in bringing in voters; the
horses and the very coach wheels, tearing and
rattling along up to the Centr.il House, as if they
felt the excitement that convulsed tho multitude.
When on. of the people’s coaches arrived, cov
ered and filled with voters, like a swarming hive,
up rose a shout from the people. When a flic?
coach arrived, up rose u ter:rtic hurrah! for their
side. Around the polls, stood a crowd, who had
no business there; nnd who seemed only anxious
to interrupt the free de|H)sit of voters, according
to their free wishes. Wen were busy in the sur
rounding crowd, in urging their tickets or parts of
tickets upon voters; and a perfect Babel of noises
went up, in (iermuii, English, Irish, Sioux und
Yankee dialect, from a multitude mixed of all
colors, shades nnd kindreds; but all struight-bair
ed, go.id-natured, and earnest. Eleven o'clock.
The Rice folks are doing the most work. Give
the devil his due; und we must lulmit that they
were “ns busy as tho devil in a gale of w ind.’’
They got in their votes early. That gave them
courage to work in the afternoon. Then they had
braggers, who cou!d out brag the world; und who
tod lies, compared with which Gulliver’*Travel*
is veracious history. They alarmed our people
some; offering to bet at odds, &c.; but wo noticed
that Sam. Sergent and perhaps some others, pick
ed up some of their bets quietly and won them.
At noon, it was reported, that the Rice Federal
ist* were 50 votes ahead of us. The people nerved
anew for the work, i:t the afternoon. Roberts,
Collins, Calif, Draw ley and other good workers,
took off their coats and went at it for a day’s
work.
The polls opened for the afternoon. Our friends

Oat Crop.— Mr. John S. Minor, living just
opposite Point Douglass, thirty miles from Saint

opon one acre of his field this season, and the
yield was sixty -seven bushels. Having threshed
them by treading with cattle, there must have
been some three or live bushels that he did not
get llis other nine acres would have yielded ns

Minor thinks th it 20 acres of oats belonging to

“The Dakotas possess four schools, and twen

tract of land by the Indians. In July last, two
treaties were made vviilt the United Stales (iov

all this season, four stages each way between St.
Paul nnd St. Anthony. These urn four horse
stages, one line owned hy Powers St Willoughby
and the other by Mr. Denson. The immense
amount of travel on that road warrants the belief
that a railroad, or perhaps better, a plank road, is
required to be immediately constructed between
the two towns. Tho amount of teaming on that
road, is great beyond belief; not only in summer,
but through all the wiuter, there is a continual
stream of waggons upon it, loaded with merchan

The traveller as lie wend* his yet solitary way
along ibe picturesque valley of the Minnesota,
follows the old Indian trail, which, avoiding the
continual meandering* of this winding sbeaia,
keeps nearly parrallel to it on its south side Irom
Mcndota to Traverse des Sioux, a distance of 70
miles This route pisses through oak openings,
i prairies of small extent, near groves of poplar,
| willows, and other trees, with here and there a
glassy lake embosomed in a pleasant grove; and
! until )ou reach whit the voyageurs characteris
j tically cull the “Bol* Frauc,” when the enure uc
' pect of the country and scene is changed.
| Crossing a little gurgling stream called the “Ili
‘ viere des Unis Franc,” you enter immediately in
j to heavy timber, very high, beautifully tapeiing,
aud mostly sugar maple.
} Farther onward, vistas of lakes of clear w ater,
.some of them many miles in circumference, and
j marshes covered with the most luxuri nt grapes,
; open to the view, in the very centre of this great
b.-lt of timber. For ten miles, the road runs
! through a high country, six to eight miles distant
from the marshy bottoms of the river. It first
! approaches the stream at the “Grand Cota” or
1 big hill, where the traveller emerges suddenly
I from the forest, and beholds far below him the
; Minnesota winding its rapid length along; and one
of the grandest scenes in all Minnesota or the
1 Northwest.
Over the tops of the highest trees of a great
forest of ninny square miles in extent, the eye
ranges, and embraces with distinctness, the dis
tant outline of the beautiful piairie a la Fleche,
thirty miles in circumference, and suriounded by
timber. On the opposite side of t*ie river, the
terraced prairie of Traverse des Sioux is also
clearly visible; while in the far distance, to the
horizon’s verge, the eye catches glimpses of the
groves and prairies near, the mouth of the Blue
Earth, thirty-five mile* distant, showing to the
mind's eye, the truth and beauty of the poet’s
line,
“ ’Tis distance lend* enchantment to the view.”
From the “Grand Cote” to Arrow Prairie, the
usual track is through the bottoms; but the Min
nesota this season having received an overflowing
share of the floods, we were compelled to t ike to
the hills, and swim the small streams, a difficult
and almost impracticable route. Once on Prairie
a la Fleche, however, we soon made cur way
over its beautiful load to the Traverse, where a
singular incident happened to us. The river was
rapidly rising, and bad already overflown the Lot
tom near the usual crossing place. While here
busily engaged in swimming over our animals, a
great cotton wood tree caved m from the bank
upon which I stood, and fell into the river within
a few yard* of the canoe in which were two of
my companions de voyage. Twenty minutes
sooner, all the animals would have been killed or
drowned, and perhaps the men who were guiding
them. Two minutes later, the tree would have
fallen on the canoe—as it was, it, (the canoe, not
the tree,) came near being swamped by the surge.
While at the now solitary Traverse des Sioux,
I am reminded of the stirring times vve had here
during tho treaty in July. Since then how chang
ed the scone- The caves of the Council House,
which afforded us such a pleasant and cool shade,
aud of the arbors placed over the tents—“places
;of nestling green, not for poets made," have
been blown to the four winds. The rude pillars
have been cut down for fuel. Even the spriug
discovered near our encampment has dried up,
because it had no such thirsty souls, as whilom
it was wont to coil —to supply.
Fro.n Traverse des Sioux la Lacque Parle, the
People’. Ticket,
route is by tlie traders old beaten road, which is
ordinarily good enough for any vehicle, from a
Red River Buggy— te, a wooden cart with buf
falo skin bub tires, to a four horse coach. But
this season—ail the months of which, the lied
Republicans would cull Pluvial—the road is al
most impassable. We had to swim the small
streams in some places, and in many others on
the prairie, the water came into our w aggons and
carts. We were twelve days ploughing our way
through mud and mire, 125 miles.
This road is mostly across prairies, of which 1
will give you an inkling, by rext express from the
Lake of Echoes.
You will recollect that quite a number of the
Sissetoans living 011 the lar. Is cod' d, were absent
from the treaty, al a great distance 0:1 a buffalo
bunt. Well, it inay be satisfactory to those in
terested iu the treaties and friendly to the Indians,
to know that these people since their return, have
expressed their satisfaction with what has beeu
done for them, and entice confidence in the Gov
ernment, and the Commissioners r-iio effected the
treaties; with a firm faith that all tlieir stipula
tions will be fulfilled punctually.
These upper bands will, however, have one
more winter of suffering to endure. Their corn
crops have failed to a much greater extent than
was at first apprehended, and the upper Sisse
toans have had as usual, to bear the burden of
feeding a horde of erratic and vagabond Yanc
toans, who cam: in among them as soon as their
corn was eatable, and devoured the lion’s share.
They have since wandered westward in pursuit
of tlieir usual prey, tint buffalo. These animals
are at this time said to be at a great distance—
high upon the Cheyenne—ard from present indi
cations, we are apprehensive that there will be.
but few, if any in this neighborhood this season.
The Yanctonnsure now,to the cumber of at least
three hundred lodges, between our Indians and
present buffalo range, and driving these animals

weather of January will show. At thus time the

Extinction or Veicvius. —We learn
from late English papers, that the suggestion of
"putting (HI” Vesuvius, by turning into it a gi
gantic canal, has been acted upon. A company
his been formed, seriously eno igh, ft r the purpose
of extinguishing the volcano, the speculators
hoping to recover, for agricultural purposes, \ast
tracts of land on the slopes and in the vicinity of
the volcano. The committee of management
hav_‘ applied to the king of Naples fi;r the neccs
saiv nutboii/.a lions. The Reform Agricole, a
French journal devoted to the consideration of
questions connected with the soil, states that the
mineral ‘‘constitution” (as it cal!* it) the land
about Vesuvius is a guarantee for much ultimate
gain. Inexhaustible riches are said to be certain
for those who will stoop to gutlwr them, the min
eralogical elements of the soil being proof suffi
cient for maintaining such a conclusion. Engi
neer* of celebrity are stated to have declared that
nothing would lie easier tnan to form a canal, the
waters of whieh should extinguish a volcano—
