[\ The Region of Lakes. ; 1 i , Hpre we have been lauding oilier regions of • I .Minnesota, for more than three years, without! n any knowledge, or the faintest idea, of the de- 1 “ ; lightful regu u of the lakes, not lit, asl of St. Paul. '! Last Saturday, ue proceeded out through Little ' < Canada, to inspect that part of our own neighbor- ! ’ hood; and it is but truth to say, that it surpass- ! \ ' es our poaer of description, to do justice to it ] >'■ ihe lakes in and around Little Canada, with the i if ; ; (> j small farms that surround them, the sharp-roofed, ‘ t ! I ren It !o'king houses there, huilt of tamarac ; 'ogs, and the log hams, thatched with straw, pre . cisely as they were by the peasantry of ('ranee • in the time of Louts \lV,and as they still ate i ' in I lance and in Canada, (for a Canadian abhors i innovation,) the primitive looking ox yoke, upon ~ the steer' that are about one-half head end horns, > c ' l lie tamarac fences, the patches of beans and j ' onions, and the rudr Hod river cart und the ponv in the door yard, where half a dozen lean dogs are bri*tiiug and twice as many lean swine, all these features are new to hundreds of people liv- ] s ingin St. Paul; and are interesting to us; fori these people are our neighbors, older residents c itere than vve are, and very contented, wort.hv 1 people, whose acquaintance tune of us sutikient- : - ly cultivate, (except perhaps, a day or two be lt fore elections.) Lvt ry thing that these people of! simple habits, want, tiiey raise or procure. >f 1 iut when you hi; one of Benson’s fine horses and carriages, to g-i to Little Canada, you will s> = • soon be there, that Benson will not expect vou I hack, before you have time t< drive half a dozen miles further on. You w ill never be out of sight , r of some heautitul, pebbly lake, large >r small, on the right or the left of you—as you puss on •- through the rolling oak openings—; here vou will 1 V see the spindling spires of a tamarac swamp—the t| tamarac, that in >st pm tie of all the evergreens— e anJ tli re vou vr.ll see a small meadow of natural C ; " I grass, smooth, level, rank, growing m what may _ once hav been the lied of a shallow lake—here is a inlgc ot excellent land, a warm, s;i idv loam, , lir l it. her than it seems, ns is proved bv its culti - vat.on, covered with a sparse growth of gnarled white caks —next p<.%iaps is a Umkei of black oaks, .small, hut numerous, like the family of Jo tin lingers— ; you (ind tli *re id, a! though new, vary goon, and smooth enough for sober people; although fishermen even if editors, returning - with a wagon load of fts'i which they had bought ■ 1 more skilful angler*', might eastlv have gome of then fishing poles j ilte .l of)', without knowing '• it. Now here you come to two lakes, divided hy .. a peninsula; and on the shore of one of these, W n.to Boar Luke, is the house ai d field of Mr. Harnum. It is a charming spot, with a view of r _ the lake in front, extending f.r n i <•*, the lake a ■“ i siirroundt'd with gently swelling bins, covered 3 with t.e 'S, mid the whole shore lined with neh- I'h s, while, red, I» 1 ick, and of ail colors, includ ing some very beautiful cornelian*. In the midst of the lake, like a vast fl over p.‘, ;s an island 1 crowded with rock map e trees—so lark beneath I he canopy of luxur. ml trees, that you can scarce- J .ly see to read hy daylight —a vast temple of trees, i . end i.i the shadowy aisles of which, are birds > that sing most sweetly, of a plumage that shows e them to be strangers to sunlight. Il« re, in soli- : tuile, the eagle builds !i<-r nest of sticks and 1 breeds and educates her fierce children, feeding • them upon the hiss and the pickerel, fresh snatch- ! ed from the surrounding lake, that i* fai.-lv rip-i pong with its millions of finny inhabitants. The island belongs to %Ir Freeborn of St Paul, who - is also opening a large farm ami building a good , i house, on the west side of the lake. Pass vve on, by l)e Webber’s, over a tract of leva I, rich - ground as can be tound in Illinois, lowa, or YVjs- • . ( consul, towards Bald Eagle Lake, a distance of I about two miles. On th» left, is the field of Mr. (leo. W. Moore, of the M rmesoti in otlke, which it is a wonder that the art and mystery of type- J I setjng, can restrain him a single month from the j ; occupancy of — oats grow ing knee high — and west J still further, through the vp.irse oak openings, j I covered with a dense inn rmixture of grass, pea ; vine ind hazel, is Richard McLagan’s new farm, ■ and beyond it, a dense tamarac swamp, belong- | .ling to Mr. Moore; and Mill further east, the I , houses of Mr. \ a nee and M’-.agan, on the shore | • of Lnd Eagle Lake—mother of those charming i sheels ot water, ;> or b miles long, indented with woody peninsulas cf woodland, und fringed all! the way around, outside of its pebbly margin, jwith trees of oak or t; marac, and a beautiful little boquet of an island in I lie midst of it, cov ! ered with rock maple trees, where we found in j the secluded home their mother gave them, two ; eaglets. Mr. Pierce, is also making a farm there i It is about midway between tct. Paul, S*. A mho- ! | ny and Stillwater. But little is known of the re- i gion still further northeast; but so far as vve can i learn, it is just as lovely and fertile and desirable, ‘ as that wc have just described.

Bek ros County Cock r—This Court com menced its session one week ago last Monday, haying, we learn, three cases on it* doc et, two of w hicli wete divorces.

The River Mails.— Although we arc enti- ; tied to three river mails each week, to and from | Galcnn.it somehow so happens, from want of j connection we suppose at Galena, that we have I scarcely averaged two mails a week, since the j boats started. Hew does it happen, tint the P. O. Department cannot order mails lobe made up forthe West Newton, the swiftest boat on the Cpper Mississippi, which arrives and depart- 1 regularly twe e a n*-ek : Falls or thi Ohio.—Tho editor of the Minnesotian happens to disagree with Capt. Lod wick, about the navigability of the Fall)* of the i Ohio at Louisville Capt. I.odwick says it was at infinite peril, that the Ken Campbell was taken , down the Falls. If our neighbor's opinion about • it were correct, it was a very foolish expenditure of money ever to have built the locks and canal there. ! Freights.—Now is the time to get your transportation up the riser. Freights were never i lower. By the way, we intend to take notice ; next fall ana report wiiut boats take advantage of j ! our necessities, just before the close of the river, : i and charge exorbitant prices for Freight ami p as- j , | sage. Remember them. The Capitol.—The St. Anthony Express inquires: j “Is there anything to be done towards the Cap -1 itol this season? What lias become of the turn- i ! her deposited on the proposed site, for building ; purpose.*? What lias become of the money ap propriated by th» Government for erecting public i buildings’ Who has the contract? Who are the * bendsmeti? Would be obliged, if the Pioneer ' (which is generally posted up on local matters,) ! 1 would throw u little light on this subject. There . j art* certain rumors afloat in this vicinity, not par- ; I j ticulariy creditable to some parties connected with ; this matter.” , w e regret to inform our neighbor, that this is I one of the “local matters” of, and concerning 1 which, the I’ioneer not being yet sufficiently ad ! vised, lias taken time to consider.

Paul “is, in every sens ', the rnetiopolis of our Territory. She is the ecclesiastic .i, political, educational and commercial centre o: .Mi;.in sota.” A.v Error Corke ted. —The St. Anthony T.xpress savs. “A family from Pennsylvania eon*i*iini» ~f • nine persons came up on one of the boats, and - landed at Stidwute’* someday last week—only f three of whom are now living.—six having di**d of cholera.

Oration by Dr. Waterman of Ga lena. True Time.—Mr. Robinson, jeweller, has a time piece, that may be depended upon in any weather. The eflect of iieat and cold, upon the length of the pendulum, i« counterbalanced or' , compensated, in this clock, by an ingenious de ! vice. The clock is warranted not to vary one minute in a year; and this clock, regulated by ; the quadrant, will giv e u.s something more accu rate than mean time. ! I Minnesota River.—Mr. Douglass, ol the Senate, on the Bth iu«t., de.ivercd the follow ing j message to the House: “Mr. President, the Committee on Territories, to which was referred the joint resolution from the House of Representatives, changing the name of I the St Peter’s river, m Minnesota Territory, have directed me to report it back without amendment | and recommend ils immediate passage. The fact |of the case is simply this: This river is soine ] times known as the St. Peter’s, and sometimes as the Minnesota rixer; some acts of Congress j designate it by the one name, and some bv the i other; this produces confusion; the Legislature of the Territory of Minnesota have risked us to fix 1 I the name of the river by law. I ask that the I i ! joint resolution be acted on now. There can be t I no possible objection to it. I There being no objection, the joint resolution 1 | was considered as in Committee of the Whole.! | It provides, that the rixer heretofore known as j i the St Peter’s river shall hereafter be known and ! ! designated on the public record* a* the Minnesota river. No amendment being ottered, it was re- I ported to the Senate without amendment, or- 1 ! dered to a third reading, read a third time, and x n isscd.” * C Acts for the Tehritonies. —On the Btb instant, n message from the House of Represen- j tatives was received by Mr. Forney, its Clerk, announcing that it bad passed the following bills: An act to run and establish the boundary be tween the State of Texas and the Territories of ; the United States.

U{>- 1 j on it let tfie responsibility rest, far whatever of 1 injury and wrong may be the result to Mianeso )l la upon this unreasonable procast in atior; Oir W estern Senators have made ninny xttempts to biitig up these measures, but they have met with unfbrsean opposition from odier quarters. lam f not at liberty now to divulge what has come to ,my knowledge; hut when the treaties are dispo j- sell of, the injunction of secrecy will probably be removed, and the history of events connected • xritli their fate, whatever that max he in the Sen -1 ate, will be nmle public. The Deficiency Bill has h 'on debated for six long weeks bv Senators 1 . to the exclusion ofall other busitv-ss. Now that , ifle vote has been recorded upon it, there is good ground for hope that the proceeding* in secret , session will be resumed, and as the treaties are among the first n the calendar, that they will be taken up and ratified. To-day a part of the ses ' sion xx a* spent in the transaction i f Executive bu- I stness, but our treaties were not reached. There is every reason .o believe that the Sioux treaties i x\ a he ratified. Senators have been repeatedly I told that tinder no circumstance* could the ceded lands revert to the possession of the Indians, and I there are very few of them who Jo not acknowl- I edge the necessity of opening the country west 1 ■’ of the Mississippi, within our limits, to settlers l j I regard the ratification, therefore, in some form ■ or other, as almost a lived fact prospectively. • j Ihe House has pa*scd a resolution designating 1 the 1 tit 1 1 of August for the adjournment of Con" : ' gross.

Them is u derided majority in both Houses in fax ir of the bill, r.ud th > only I hope of amending or defeating it, wnl he by some such ruse as has been resorted to already; but ii 1 ■ must be confessed there is sliglti hope of repeot- ' ing it in tiie face of u largo and determined ma- ! jjority. I ant constrained in think that our citi zens, by no means, attach to this bill the import ance which it deserves.
