An Imposter.

We should like to have every publisher
notice Of an old scoundrel by the name of
Aitkinside, who formerly rated around The
Chronicle Office in Saint Paul, pretending to
be printer; and who has since been trav-
eTiing in various parts Of the United States,
obtaining money by false representations
that he was one ofthe partners of the Chron-
icle office in St. Paul; aud Of late, it seems
he is trying to get credit as one OF the pro-
prietors of the Pioneer office; as will be
-een by the following letter:
Ai,kenside, is tall, slender old rat,
about so years old, very voluble, and the
most unmitigated old scoundrel that ever
so long lodged the penitentiary. He is
like an old battered two line plea interroga-
ton point, and is only fit for the place into
which damaged type and ncorrigible sim
ners are cast.

Pembina District. No.

This district extends far as the 49th degree Of
latirnde. which Is the boundary line dividing the
American from Primes Rupert's land cOlnna0nly
known as British North America, The country
lying northwest of Red River, about two hun-
bred miles on this side Of PenIbina, is a splendid
counryin ali seasons, especially in the months Of
summer, June, July, August and September. The
timber on the Red river, is mostly oak, ash and
elm; but not such timber as you generally see
along Pine River, Leach Lake and Cass Lake I;
Leach Lake is certainly one of the best and hand
soonest lakes in the North; its islands are nhabit-
ed by Chippewas, who raise corn, potatoes vege-
tables &c, while the water abounds with fish,
such as white, sun and bass fish, Red Lake is a
much larger lake, aboumds with mostly all kinds
Of fish; but timber very deficient, although the
lands are good. The Indians around this lake
have good farms; they raise corn in abundance,
as well as potatoes and vegetables; the greatest
number OF these Indians have log houses, where
they live very comfortably The Indians al Red
Lake, are very hardy, Industrious tribe; they
appear to go hand in hand to make livelihood,
part Of them go TO the buffalo chase, while the
other pan superintend their farms. Those Indians
for several years, labored hard in clearing away
the large timber off their lands; they were head
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Aver Wright and DIR. Lewis
and MIR. Barnard, Of Cass Lake who have lived for
several years among the Indians Whether they
do good Or not shall not say, only this far, they
have made lazy, negligent Indians, industrious.

The only thing had that could call good,

night, before my tent, the bucks beat the drum
and sang, while the squaws carried the scalps and

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Al special election for Justice of the Peace,
hell tsihe Central House in ST. Paul, last Mon
day, Orlando Siinons, Esq, received 1872 votes,
and was elected, Lott Mcifat receiving 80 votes
The election was no test of the relative populari-
ty ofj;he candidates; but it was generally con-
coded thai justice was due to the upper end of
the town, where Mir. Sincns resides A spirit Of
concession and liheraliiy has been thus exhibited
IN this election, which we hope ever to see exer-
ciscd. As to s. II. Dent, Esq, the present IN
er,6bept Of the Office Of justice Of the peace al
the lower end of town. it is but just TO say, that
doubts arc generally eniertaina, whether he was
eligible when elected, and whether he is, in fact,
lawfal justice, ought to exercise the functions
Of magistrate. MIR. Den, was not a resident Of
this Territory when appointed justice by the Gov
ernor, nor when he was afterwards elected; and
The requirements Of the statute in this particular,
absolute. II Is the general wish, so far as we
can lean, that Esq. Dent should resign his COM
mission, and thus afford the people an opportunity
10 elect him, or some other capable, sober, dis
Greet nan. who is duly qualified to discharge the
duties Of tina, important: office, al the lower end

Mr.. George Oates; of Charleston, has
received letter from Barnum, stating tina, it is
probable Jenny Lind will visit Charleston in De-

expenses are as much as $4,000, which he says
they are, he and his Jenny will do poor bust
ness there.
Welcarn from the Charleston Mercury,
that seventy one planters Of st. Helena Parish,
South Carolina, have "pledged themselves most
solemnly never TO employ any coaster owned by
"a citizen of the North. or manned by Northern
crew. to take any part of their products TO the city
Of Charleston, or elsewhere The Mercury
recommends the same policy to the other parishes
along the coast

thority Of Mr.. Barnum, that Mde. Lind will pro-
badly not again return Boston after this visit las

Worlds Fair and therefore has but about so

Payne, the Minister Of the Treasury, to negotiate
a loan Of $500, GOO on the remainder of the Amer
lean indemnity, and the previous loan of $500,

plenished for a month longer. There still remains
$500, 900, and what is to be done when that is

RUPTURE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
FRANcE.-W We regret To announce n rupture
between England anil France, which, occur
red last week by The Submarine Telegraph
suddenly breaking. All friendly conmuni-
cations between the. two countries were in
stantly suspended, and though il was evil
dent THAT there was "screw loose" some
where, it was only after a deal of fishing
and sounding, that it was discovered that
the rupture was owing to the sofiness ofone
of the ''leaden conductors" This is not
the first time that ''leaden conductor" has
by his softness, created distance between
the two countries, and plunged them. head
over heels in difficulties. The mischief,
however, was soon patched up, and com
muiiicatons from Dover to Calais have
been since forwarded by the same line of
rs before. We only wish
that al ruptlres between England an,l
France were NJ easily mended!
