st. Pant.

This town, which was but yesterday un-
known, for the reason that it had then no
existence, is situated on the east bank of the
Mississippi river, about five miles south of
latitude forfy-6ve degrees north-beins
about in the same latitude with the northern
extremity Of New Hampshire and Vermont,
and the central portion of the State of
Maine. St. Paul is at the head of steam
boat navigation on the river. being only eight
miles by land below the Falls of St. Antho-
ny, Of which we shall say more hereafter.
In approaching St. Paul by passage up the
river, after making large bend around the
Sioux reservation on the western shore-a
beautiful tract Of wellwooded land-at
distance OF about half IL mile below St. Paul,
the entire village breaks suddenly upon the
view, resting upon a bluff nearly one hun
dred feet above the level of the river, and
extending up the river about half mile.
At each end of the town, the bluff is cloyen
down, so As to afford moderate grade down
to the river; and these two points of access
TO the river, make the Upper and the Low
er Landing. 4 more beautiful site for a
town cannot be imagined. Unjust be added
that bilious tevers and the fever and acu.
are strangers TO St. Paul. "A description of
the village now would not answer for a
tor month hence-such is the rapidit, of
building and the miraculous resurrection of
every description Of domciIs. Piles of
lumber and building materials lie scattered
everywhere IN admirable confusion. The
whole town is on the stir-stores, hotels,
houses, are projected and built 10 few DAYS.
California is forgotten, and the whole town
is rife with the exciting spirit of advance
rnent
Aside from every consideration of the i'm
portance attached to St. Paul as being the

"a, and independent Of its advantages mere
