% On Friday morning last, the extern
s,ve circus and equestrian troupe of Col !.
Mann crossed the Suspension Bridge, en-
route to Canada. The company occupied
twenty-five horse teams, headed BY the large
four horse band wagon, together with their
baggage and paraphernalia. As little delay
occurred as at any ordinary bridge, nor was
any fear evinced by horses or men, there
being certainly, ITO appearances nor cause
for any.

The Mails.

Would any one believe that in the nine
teenth century, our Government would limit
Minnesota, situated here in the very heart
of the Republic, to one mail week? We
ought to have mails at least tri-weekly du-
ring the summer by steamboat, between Ga
lena and Fort Smelling. In the winter,
mails ought also to be tri-weekly and ought
to be conveyed between Galena and ST..
Paul, in two days each trip. Are we to be
blocked in here half the year, and is the
rest of the world to be cut off from that
communication with Minnesota which is
now so essential to their welfare, for whole
week together, for the sake OF saving few
hundred dollars Of expense for mail service !?
The other Territories and the thirty States
in the Union have abundant reason to oom-
plain of being thus exiled from Minnesota;
and we hope their presses will speak out
boldly for the reform we ask for. Nor is it
alone Of the want Of more mail service up
and down the river, that we have reason to
NOu1P'""'3 VIZ "ohb otSOs-
We want mail from St. Paul to Saltwater
and back, at least twice week.
The enterprising proprietors of the stages
between St. Paul aud Saltwater, have, to
our knowledge, been doing gratuitous mail
service to large amonnt between the two
towns, ever since they put their stages
on in the spring. This is too much to ask
Of them. There ought to be mail estab-
lished in the winter Immediately, twice
week; and we would go for having the line
extended as far up the river as St. Anthony.
In fact, there ought to be mail at least
once week to Crow Wing, 100 miles up
the Mississippi river. We ought also to
have at least weekly mail between Point
Douglass and St. Paul. Does Congress ex-
pecs US to assume the functions of Govern
ment, to fegisiate, TO hold elections, to pro-
mulgate laws, to print newspapers, to make
speeches, to do all that an organized Terrific
~ of freemen may Of RICH. do, without fur
nishing us with mail facilitiess Must we
make brick without straw! Give us mails
sustain them now and soon they will sus-
tain themselves and afford revenue.

Whom shall we Trust to Legislate?
Let US try to find out some class of per-
sons who can be trusted to make laws for
us. Farmers have direct interest in lay
ing all taxes upon personal property, SO as
to exempt their lands from the tax ROLL
Physicians, if elected to the Legislature,
will Of course 60 straight to work to repeal
the statute against body-snatching and to
enlarge their sphere Of medical practice.
Carpenters, If elected, will make it point,
to lumber the statute book with mechanics
lien laws, to the prejudice and injury Of all
other creditors. Undertakers would join
the doctors in repeating every law that con-
f1icts with the most extensive traffic in cof-
fins. Clergymea would be careful not to
frame laws so perfect as to make their eff
forts ip the pulpit to dssuade men from do
ing wrong, less requisite than now, or IN
other words, to diminish the demand and
the pay for preaching. lux manufacturers,
paper makers, rag dealers and stationers. if
in the Legislature, would of course go for
swelling Legislative journals, increasing
the bulk Of the statutes, encouraging liti-
CATION for the sake of increasing the sale of
blanks and stationery, and thus lining their
own pockets. A blacksmith would not do
to legislate; for the very first blow he would
strike would be to break up the law of inn
prisonment in jails and penitentiaries and
substitute chains, manacles and iron cages,
so as to enlarge the business Of blacksmith
ing. Wheelwrights in the Legislature,
would Of course 60 their death against ca
mails and railways and all other Legislation
that would not favor the making and mend
ing of wheels and carriages. Lawyers in
the Legislature, as a matter of course, go
for weaving nice, intricate web of laws,
SO as to catch all the clients they possibly
can. Merchants, if there were enough of
them elected, would of course go to redu-
cling the standard Of weights and measures,
so as to increase the profits of their sales.
Where then shall we turn to find safe, up
right, disinteresteI legislators? The great
difficulty is, that SO many of all classes,
professions and trades, are engaged in ma
king money and have an interest in legisla-
ting for the promotion and advancement Of
their own calling in life. There is one class
Of persons in our country, only, against
whom no such objection lies. That class
has its representatives in every town and
village in the United States. 1t is class of
men, too, who are willing to serve their
country as legislators--ip fact they have
nothing else to do, and are class evidently
born to rule; we refer to that influential
class of persons who devote their valuable
time to whiskey and whiting sticks; and
who are commonly denotninated-loaf ers. .

% The Pioneer, in surveying the growth
Of Minnesota, aptly remarks, that .
" Scratch up, scrabble up, tumble up, any
way to get up seems to he illustrated in the
sudden growth Of buildings in St. Paul.
California, with its wondrous treasures,
seems in nowise to have injured the pros
poets of this embryo State. Settlers are
crowding thither in large numbers, and are
finding on its fertile soil, amid its beautiful
scenery, 10y its calm placid lakes and fine
vigable rivers, better homes than can be
found among the struggling anarchical mass
es at the gold placers on the Sacran,ento.-
In Minnesota everything hetokens the as
senbiing together Of an orderly, quiet, in
dns,rious community, intent upon the thrifty
pursuits of agriculture and traffic, anil pa
tiently expecting, in due time, as the suitable
reward of their labor, happy homes, where
IN may he found ease and cOnten.ment. To
California many thousands are pushing inn
patiently, who will form but transient pop
ulation there, ami whose sole idea is the
sudden acquisition Of wealth. Both terri
tories, nevertheless, furnish an illustration
of the gaIvanic energy with which our coun-
try is struggling onward. Harrisburg Tel.

The New York papers announce that the
81 900, 900 capital stock Of this road has all
been taken, chiefly by New Yoshn-
Some subscriptions were received III
Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylya-
MIA. The Journal of Commerce adds:
The above amount will be sufficient to
put railroad in operation from Panama,
on the Pacific, to the navigab|e waters of
the river Chngres, which flows into the At
lantic; sufficient, in short, to establish a
steam communication from ocean to ocean,
ssthrough in twelve hours" which is the
limit required by the terms Of the grant
from the Granadian Government. Such a
road can be made in about year, more or
less, after which the investment will at once
become productive. The remainder of the
Railroad from where it crosses the Cbagres
river, to Mansanilla bay, "a branch of Navy
bay,) can be made at any time within six
years, according to the convenience or in
terests Of the Company.
We congratulate our readers, and the
commercial world, that this most important
enter prize is at length placed beyond con-
tingency. In a year or two, at farthest,
the chief communication between the At
lantic and the Pacific, for passengers and
valuable freight, will he by way of the Pa
mama Railroad.
Already line of British steamers runs
regularly between Panama and the South
American coasts, as far down as Valparat-
so, touching at various points-and line
of American steamers between Panama and
the coast of N. America, AS far up as San
Francisco. And this is but the beginning
Of what will be hereafter.
A fact which has just come to our knowl-
edge, Of much importance in reference to
this railroad enterprise, and to steam navi-
CATION in the Pacific, is the discovery Of
Bitumipous Coal ON the Isthmus. 1t is Of
very fair quality. and is represented by en-
gneers to be all that could be desired for
driving steam engines. A specimen of it
may lie seen at this office. The mine has
been described by our informant, who has
seen and examined it, to be inexhaustible.
1t is situated in the province of Veraguas,
where the Company has right TO select a
portion of its lands. We do not know that
it is on the public lands, from which alone
the Company has right tn select, or if so,
that it is on the main land, to which also the
Company are restricted. Nor is this ma
terial. The great point is. TO have the coal
there on the spot, where it is wanted, and
Of Il quality suited to the purposes for which
1t is required.
