tains the following, in which there are some
Inis-ssatements to be corrected. The Pa
triot says
" Fhe federal papers are making Jacks OF
themselves by extoIling the character and
qualifications Of E. b. Washburne, Esq.
of Gaiena, Illinois, the newly appointed
Judge of Minnesota Territory The new
ly appointed Judges of that Territory are
Aaron Goodrich, of Tennessee David
Cooper, of Penn; and b. b. Meeker, of
Kentucky, according to the official announce
ment in the National Intelligencer. 1t is
probable that Mr.. w ashburne wanted to be
one of the Judges, and that these pufS were
prepared beforehand in expectation chat he
would be appointedn
Mr.. WAsHBURNE, we understand, was
not an applicant for Judgeship in our
Territory. He was strongly presented for
Governor, bu, in selecting another man for
that station, it was determined to offer Mr..
w. the appointment of Chief Justice, and,
but for the unwarranted interference from a
certain quarter, he would have been APP
pointed. All who know Mr.. WAsHBuRNE,
will agree, that he is deserving of any sta
ton he has aspired to--and that he is espe-
cialy well qualified for the Office Of Judge,
to which he certainly did not aspire.

Cur Territory.

There is not probably a region in the
Union, says The Minnesota Register, which
is so well watered as the upper portion OF
Minnesota Territory. Independent of the
many streams which irrigate the country,
there are nunbsrless lakes of pure limpid
water. which abound in fish, and which are
surrounded by dense bodies Of timber. The
soil is adapted 10 the cultivation Of all the
cereal grains, even ground-seed corn has
been raised as far north as the mouth Of the
ST. Peters in favorable Seasons. tits known
that large crops of wheat are annually har
vested at the Britich Red River Colony, in
SO deg north latitude The wild rice which
abounis ia the smaller lakes more than
compensates for the lack of that in common
use, as it is more palateahe, and affords a
larger proportion of nutriment than the lat
ter
Unfortunately for Minnesota the Wiscon :
Gin boundary includes ali of the southe IN
shore Of Lake Superior, leaving to the for
mer only that portion of the northern shore
between Fon du Lac and the line of the
British possessions. This may in time
prove valuable for its fisheries, if for nothing
else. la return for their fish, the, hardy In
habitants Of this region will receive the
-four and pork of their Miss; ssippi neigh
bors. There is a very incor rect impression
prevailing as 10 the extent and value of the
country which constituted the residue o,
Wisconsin Territory oft err the State of tina,
name was admitted. In the House of Rep
resentatives a leading member characterized
it as nothing more than a pEA-PArcH and
unworthy of any particular notice. The
gentleman was evidently ignorant of the
fact, that this PEA PATCH contained more
than $4,000 SQUARE miles, aud comprises
within IFS Limits As large an amour, of no,
only arabic ie.nd, but land equal in produc-
tIveness to any of the Western States. |,
Is true that it Is not equal To the country on
the west OF the Mississippi river as whole
for the latter contains less proportion OF
waste tracts, but It is equally true that the
soil OF the really GOOD land is not surpassed
for fertility. ~~
The summer Of 1850 will doubtless wit
ness the extinction of the Indian title to that
magnificent region west of he Great Riv-
err which is now in the possession of the
Sioux. II has been the lot of the writer to
traverse this country hundreds Of miles IN
every direction, and he can say conscien.
tiously, that for beauty Of scenery, for ex-
celience IN the quality of the soil, for the
salubrity of the climate, for the abundance
of pure and wholesome water, and for every
other desldera.um to make an earthly par.
adise. it cannot be excelled. IL is princi-
paliy prairie region, but interspersed with
groves of all kinds Of timber. Standing on
the shore of some of the beautiful lakes,
and looking across their wide expanse, it is
almost Impossible to believe that one is not
gazing at cultivated grounds and ornament
ed villages. SO beautiful is the prospect. =
