History ef Minneapolis.
In our ln.«t wo gave an account of the latest
improvements in this thriving town. We will
now give a short list of the principal busiuess
houses now in operation. Among the first that
call for notice are the
HOTKLB.
The principal of these is the Minneapolis Hotel
or Bushnell House, owned by Bushnell A Keith.
This is a substantial brick building on Fifth st.,
and is in the central portion of the town. It was
commenced in 1556 and since that time has done
a Nourishing Lusiaess. It is now, without doubt,
the best hotel in the place.
The Minnesota House is a new frame building
on Third street, between Oregon and California
streets. It was erected last spring and was
originally kept by A. 11. Hotchkiss. The present
proprietor of the house is S. M. Uosoy. He keeps
the house m excellout order, and his table is as
well supplied as the products of the country will
allow.
The American House is a two and a half story
frame budding on Second street at Bridge street.
It has always been kept by L. M. Ford aud en
joys au excellent reputation.
In addition to these hotels, there are several
• boarding house, which are always well filled.
The increasing number of travellers in the
Territory will, before long, make a new and
capacious hotel in Minneapolis desirable if not
absolutely necessary, and we hope that, before
another season is past, a second editiou of the
Cataract House, revised and corrected, will sltow
a bold front iu this city. ,
Next in order coine the
CaOCKKV, PROVISION AND FRUIT DFAI.XRS.

North Minneapolis. —ln this flourishing addi
tion to the original town, there is already a good
business done. There are*in this place some 12
or li> houses, besides the mill.
j-?euo A Lewis have opened a large stock of
goods of all kinds at their Store.
ltowo A Ward have begun a Cabinet Factory.
Walcott A Co. have a Blacksmith shop in ope-
ration.
Next Spring a large Hotei and several Stores
will be put up, besides a number of dwellings.
Tnis point, we think, is an important one, and
the activity of the proprietors will soon find its
reward in the increasing value of property.
Tkavbler.
G« it, Girin!
We noticed—there, that’s tho way articles al
ways begin—but we were going to remark, a trio
of beautiful girls flew by our oflico on horseback
yesterday morning, before the birds wero up, and
gavn rise to some pleasant reflections. The
sparkle of life was in their eye—the flush of rosy
health upou their cheek, —and a vigorous inde
pcndencti in their movements, while the honest,
unrestrained laugh told us that each had a merry
heart. The ride without an escort had increased
their seif-reliance, while tho oxercise und tho
morning air had added a blush to their beauty.
A spontaneous “ Go it, girls !” involuntarily es
caped our lips, and wo vowed, that, as soon as
we could find a pen we would say to all the fair
deputy-sheriffs of Cupid, “ Go ye, and do like
wise.” Girls, there’s nothing like it. For the
headache and heartache, for Dyspepsia and com
ing Fevers, for homesickness, lovesickness and
the blues, a good gnllup in the early morning air,
while the sleepy world is rolling over towards
sunrise, and tho sentimcntals are snoring away
ainid dreams and feathers, is better than all tho
pills that Balus A Co. ever invented. Is there a
languor upon your frame, a sicknoss in your
honrt, a vacant glare in your eye and a hectic
flush centering upon your cheek ?—Mount the
saddle, and lasli some headstrong charger out
upon tho Prairie, and you can run away from
Consumption in half an hour! Death lingers on
velvet sofas, and sleeps between the leaves of
yellow-oovered romances. Oh ! that the daugh
ters of this generation would care more for
health, vigor, self-reliance and genuine worth,
aud less for the prudery and sentimental moon
shine, rho hoops, feathers, fixings, and fol-de
rols, that are giving us “ angels” instoad of wo
men, and doll* for the parlor instead of wives
for the world ! Girls ought to be great romps—
it is better, ten times, than paying doctor’s bills.
Why will not the ** dear creatures” learu that
the Future wants some of them for mothers , aud
that it is bettor that they be wild as Amazons,
than lackadaisical, love-sick, feeble, faulting,
fashionable fools, ready to go into hysterics if a
fly lights on their flounces, and inquiring of the
dairy-woman—if they ever venture into the coun
try—which cow gives the butter-n»ilk!
Girls, stand np—stand np ! Bo healthy at all
hazards. Run out in the garden and dig in the
dirt, or rido a fiery Bucephalous around the sub
urbs— anytluug to give to your face a ruddy glow
of health, and to your whole frame elasticity,
and you will be respocted by all sensible people,
and loved ten-fold better by everybody except
those mincing monkeys, and silly, brainless noo
dles who court brandy punches all dav, and wed
themselves to a lamp post every other night.
Will you lake the hint ?
Goon Sell.” —The N. Y. Express editor at
tended the late German Fremont gathering in the
Tabernacle,- and ths next day his paper came out
with a most disgusting caricature of it, insulting
to the emigrant Germans who were chief in cal
ling the meeting, insulting to those in attendance,
and outraging the public generally by its abuse
of foreigners who had the manlinoss to declare
for l rcuiont. Tbo paper containing this disgust
ing article, of course sold like hot cakes, and the
publishers found it necessary to issue another
Urge edition. One friend—so the paper an
nounced in its next day*e issue—took fifteen
thousand copies! and from that it was inferred
how approvingly the public looked upon each on
slaughts on the Germans. But tho seeret soon
came out: those fifteen thousand oopies were
ordered and paid for by an agent of the Central
Fremont Committee; ten thousand were given
away gratuitously among the votere of the 11th
and 17th Wards of the city, and the other 5,000
were sent to Pennsylvania as Fremont election
eering documents. Thus was the vipor made to
sting itself to death. It is said that article
would make ten thousand votes for Fremont in
New York.

The weight of censure which hangs like an in*
oabus upon ths present imbecile cabinet, and the
gibbet of public indignation which has just be
headed America’s Chief Magistrate, ought to
convey a lesson of stern rebuke to those whose
deluded confidence elected him to offioe. We
really sympathize with him, hot much more with
the people who have suffered by hie inoompetency
and recklessness.
They havo now learned, we hope, to place no
confidence in men who are in any way dishonest,
or unworthy. They Lavo discoverod a vast mis
take in placing gn the Presidential Chair the sick
soldier of Cerro Gordo—tho biHiard-plaver of
Hampton Beach—tho insignificant pettyfogger
of Conaurd—ths weak, effeminate tool of Cush
ing, and Jeff. Davis, and Wni. L. Marcy—this is
tho omnipotent Brigadier-General, whom his own
friends have kicked out of the Cincinnati Con
vention and Rinded high and dry upon the Gra
nite hills! He was put into tho White House by
tho greatest majority—except one—that a Presi
dent ever received, and that one was the one that
kicked him out. He was elected boc&use nobody
knew him, In was rejected beoauso everybody
knew him too well!
They passed avoto of ••unqualified approbation
of all Ins acts,” but they dared aot further
face the breath of outraged justice, while many
of the very delegates who voted against him,
were at the some time eating their bread-and
butter off from his executive table! Does the
state of American demand another Ad
ministration tin very prototype of this? Do the
people wuot an elongation of the present executive
villainy? Another edition of Pierceism? We
shall see soon.
Neither B:;c*.anan nor Fillmore has got the

SCUYLER COLFAX MOBBED BY THE
BLUDGEON DEMOCRACY (
T«TO MEN RILLIBt
MEN AND WOMEN ASSAULTED !
From a reliable correspondent we have re
ceived an account of 4 he. riot at Bourbon. Mat
shall Co. at the ducussioh between Judge
Stuart and Mr. Colfax.
A wagon containing four men and a num
ber of ladies catne from Kosciuake county; to
attend the speaking. In toe wagon was borne
a banner representing a buck on his last leg.—
Threats were made against the wagon before
jt reached the ground, and during the speaking
thirty Irishmen, who wele Employed upon the
railroad, prepared hickory clubs, and as the
wagon passed a grocery f t the oposite end of
the town, it was attacked by these men who
knocked down the horses and commenced
an indiscriminate assault upou ail in the wa
gon.
The screams of the woman as they begged
jor iheir lives and the shouts and murderous
blows of the attacking party were awful, and
presented a scene which drove in terror the
mui .tude. which was largely made up of wo
men. Men endeavored to save (heir dwn
families, and there was nc» rime to assist tbetm
iortunate wagon load, winch was soon over
powered by the infuriated brutes who forgot to
discriminate between women and men in their
mail attack.
Whilst one of the mob stood with his club
elevated with both hands, and iu the act of strik
ing. he tva3 shot, and fefi dead. The persons
in the wagon were serior.sly bruised r.ud injur
ed, arid were only saved front death by the at
tention ol the mob being attracted to another
object*
in the wagon wa3 the wife of a Mr. Leflle,
a Citizen of Kosciuake county, who, hearing of
the danger of his wife, rode back to protect
her. On approaching the wagon he ami bis
horse were knocked 00-.vn, and finning the odds
aga.nst him too strong, lie re* reared to the bouse
oi the Rev, Mr. James, whose family, with
himtelf, had been witnesses of the terrible
scene at Lie wagon. Mr. Leifei was pursued
by lire mob, who picked up axes as tney went,
ovowe at the door and a’.v.iuovv and brutally
murdered him in the presence of the terrified
family. His body was horr.abiy mangled, ids
legs aud head being nearly cut to pieces.
Mr. Cohax had been to v-upper a third of a
mile from the scene or l.ancm ’ions, and
in a short time at.er, passed Ike grocery where
were congregated tiie ;is .adanis of the wagon.
T:;ey assaulted his horse with clubs and
nearly knocked it down, ami li.r-aiensd tbeiife
o. Mr. Col-ax. fie was ab.e to keep his horse
in motion, and excaped. Tri-* mob i : ubbcu a
man riding a short diiunce behind Line, and
threatened the life of a Captain Sterling, who
had recently become a Repubii. itir, and also
beat a young man named Samuel D,slier.
They took complete por esr-ion of the ’own,
while the people anxious for the safety of the
women fled in confusion.
It is hoped that the murderers may be found
and punished.
Kanin* Affair*—G*v. Geary llarr/luj; n;> tbs Work
«( Making Kansas h Si.its S'a'.e.
Mr. John M. Geary, the now Governor appoint
ed under the direction of Jefferson Davie for
Kaueas, ie pushing on hie work of making that
Territory a Slave State with groat energy. lie
does not unnee matters. He makes no pretences
to neutrality hetwoen the claims of conflicting
of Border Ruffians and Free State settlers. Ho
understands bis instructions and knows what ho
is expected to do.
The Administration Border Ruffians had a wil-
ling, but very poor instrument, iu Governor
Stiannan. His late long-winded manifesto is a
piecious confession of imbecility, indecision, per
plexity, and incompoiency. If it proves more
than this, it proves that poor Pierce attempted to
shelter himself under the wings of poor Shannon,
while Shannon considered himself entitled to the
sheltering wings of Pierce. Gov. Geary, on the
other hand, having reooived h:s orders, lias gooo
out to Kansas to fulfil them, And Without aqy
squeamish fears of public opinion he seems to
have entered boldly"upon foe task of makiog
Kansas substantially a Siave State before the
Presidential election.
Our latest advices from Kansas .show that Gov-
Geary is a perfect Napoleon in the modern dem
ocratic art of making a Sieve State out of Free
Territory. First, with the United States dra
500ns at his service, he dismisses the armed Bor
er Ruffians, with the complimentary discharge
of a volunteer militia force, no longer needed ;
then with his dragoons he forcibly expels Gen.
Lane and his armed defenders of the Tree State
settlements; and thirdly, he proooeds to arrest
the unarmed Free State Settlers remaining in the
Territory on charges of treason. Onr readers
understand very well what constitutes high trea
son in Kansas. A fraudulent legislature nas en
acted a code of laws of the most infamous, cruel,
bloody, savage, shameless nnd lawless character—
code full of unconstitutional oaths, pains and
penalties; and the free born white American cit
izens of that Territory, who prefer the Constitu
tion and their rights under it to these spurious,
and atrocious laws, are slaughtered or denounced,
hunted, arrested and imprisoned, on these admin
istration charges of high treason.
According to tho latest accounts from Kansas
(iu addition to wholesale arrests for high treason)
n hundred Free State men were confined at Le
compton on still another trumpery charge of mur
der, in having defeated thewseives, lbe:r families,
and t-keir property, against our democratio Pres
ident’s robbing marauders. Those prisoners ware
strictly gaardod by Un ted States troops, in a
small log house, with a loaded field-piece near
the door to serve as a reminder tint thev must
not rise against their masters. Of course the
wives nnd childred of these prisoners must take
care of themselves. The ruffians remain in the
Territory—some of them vagabondizing and
plundering what little subsistence t>f the people
has been left by the United .States army,—others
cuiistiug as three month’s volunteers i.t the U. S.
service Under this pressure numbers ef the Free
State settlers, from impelling starvation, are
leaving toe Territory; and many of those that
remain—men, women, and children—have sub-'
sisted upon green corn and squashes—neither
flour, meal, nor meat of any kind being left them.
To the settlers of a new country their horses are
invaluable. It is taking sway tbo right arm of
a frontier settler to rob him of hie horse. He is
robbrd at once of the faithful servant upon whose
services he had depended for raising the neces
saries of life. The administration Ruffians in
Kansas understand this well; and, accordingly,
a prominent feature of their system of op«rat|oiis
Ims been the wholesale stealing Or taking of the
horses of the Free State settlers, according to the
official democratic dootri ie of the Ostead mani
festo. The Missouri Border Roiiians have only
applied to rbe hones ot their Free State neigh
bors ol Kansas, the identical doctrine which Mr.
Buchanan is pledged to apply to the island of
Cuba —tho good old bucraueeilfig doctrine of
u wresting it from Spain if we hare the power*”
There is nothing, therefore, remaining to pre
vent the erection of Kansas into n Slave State,
through the system of terrorism, blood, robbery,
and fraud adopted by Piotco and the rotten dem
ocracy, except the election of Fremont as our
uext President His election, however, will put
a peremptory stop to this x-ohey of terreriauv
and restore the Constitution, the laws and the
sovereign rights of the peohle to Kaunas sad the
South, where tho Constitution is almost ae much
a dead letter as in Kanes*.
