The Falls Of st. Anthony, Minnesota.
Are located on tho Mississippi river, 5000
miles from its mouth, and some 500 miles
from its source. I he river, before it leans
the barrier at St. Anthony, has an almost
unrufiicd flow nearly the whole distance
from its source, through far-extending
realm of prairie. Here it hastens down an
inclined plane, about one fourth of mile
in extent, to level forty-fve feet below the
upper stream. Midway the rapids, the en-
tire volume Of water is precipltated Is I-2
feet over shelving rock which extends
nearly from shore to shore. Near the east
ern shore, an island which divides the seseam
to the top Of the rapids, occupies a similar
position. to Goat Island in Niagara. The
fall has also horseshoe shape, almost per.
fecting the similarity of St. Anthony TO Nj
agaia. Butthe similarity is rendered still
more striking by sccae behind a section

Dispatches from the Gulena Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
SENATE.-Yesterday, MIR. Hale replied
to Mr. Clemens, and remarked that the
Senator from Alabama had convinced him
OF one thing, but had failed to, convince him
of any thing else, that was that concession
to fanatics never satisfied fanaticisni, and
continued speaking ut some length in de-
fence Of the resolutions.
Mr.. Butler following said that Mr.. Sew
ard and others, had avowed doctrines that
must necessarily tend TO the dismember-
ment of the confederacy. The South had
never in any respect, or for any purpose,
desired dissolution of the Union. For
one, he could not sit and hear sentiments
expressed calculated to degrade the South
ami not on behalf of himself and his con-
stlluents express his Reproduction. He ask
cd when slaves when freed, found hospital
ny equal TO that at home, and referred to
the case Of John Randolph's emancipated
slaves, who he said were driven out of the
State of Ohio at the point of the bayonet.
Mr.. Chase replied that Mr.. Randolph's
slaves were now living in the State of Ohio.
No sufferers are driven from her borders at
the point OF the bayonet. .......
Mr.. Hunter said they were driven of by
n company armed with offensive weapons,
and if permitted to return he was not aware
of it.
Mr.. Butler resumed. The gentleman
had denied that society existed whose OBJ
Ject it was to circulate incendiary pubica-
tons among the blacks. He referred to
the ncendlary publications found in south
ern post office.
Mr.. Hale. VIII the Senator say wheth
er those documents W ere directed 10 blacks l.!
Mr.. Butler.-1hey were directed to just
such white men as you. (Laughter.) Per-
sons coming from free states are traitors to
the Institutions under which they have
elected him to live.
Mr.. jefferson Davis replied to Mr.. Hale,
and proceeded to depict the aggression Oil
the South, sal! they know their rights, feel
their wrongs, and will maintain their rights
at every hazard. If gentlemen were come
here to iasul, one section Of the Union, to
diStrust and discover it, if they were here to
bring about a civil war-here then let the
first battle be fought.
He felt no excitement as TO this motion to
print. He would Only say that no matter
how offensive and unjust, insulting, untrue
or reasonable, the resolutions, he would
vote for printing.

Mr.; Phelps, will vind'cate the Resolutions.

The Southland hath its fields of cane, y
The Prairie boasts its heavy grain,
And sunsets radiant gates unfold -.-=--s---z-s
On crowded marts and sands Of gold.
Rough, bleak, and Geld, cur little Stale
Is hard CT soil, of limits straight;
Her yellow sands are sands alone;
Her only mines are ice and stone.
From Autumn frost TO Apri! rain,
Too long her winter woods complain;
From budding flower TO falling leaf,
Her summer time is all too brief.
But OH her rocks, and ON her sands.
And stormy hills, the school house stands;
And what her rugged soil denies,
The harvest Of the mind supplies.
The treasures of the Commonwealth
Are free, strong minds, and hearts Of wealth
And more to her than gold or gram,
Are cunning hand and cultured brain.
For well she keeps her ancient stock,
The Stubborn strength of Plymouth rock;
And still maintains, with milder laws
Aud clearer light, the Good Old Cause.
Nor heeds the skcp,c's pury hands,
While near her school the church-spire stands
