Dog Express.

The Minnesota Pioneer gives the follow ing account of the "dog train" which lately arrived at St. Paul from the extreme north west:
 s'The train arrived on Monday last, with a heavy mail from Pembina and the Sel- kirk settlements, distance five hundred miles. Shows are reported very deep in the north. The three dogs, having made fifty miles day, some days, were much fa- tigued at the end of their journey. Being fed, they laid down in their harness for sev- eral hours and slept, but moving their feet, while sleeping on their sides, as if they were still travelling. Their sledge is light board, with sides to it, of green hide, making a sort of open shoe, with a prov turning up in front, skate fashion. The sledge con tained the mail, and provisions for the dogs and two men-pemican, &c.--there being no dwelling to stop at for many hundred miles. One of them, half breeds, travelled ahead of the dogs; and the other, with a stick to drive them, and a rope to hold back the sledge in going down hill, came behind. The dogs are sharp-eared, little above the medium size, and look much like wolves. We have been thus particular in describing this travelling equipage, knowing that it will seem novel to our readers in the States"

lems to be solved, planets to be discovered and measured. The air we breatheis yet to be made an element upon which to navi- gate vessels of commerce and pleasure. Some one is soon to become the Columbus of the skies, and there is wreath of fame for millions unborn.
 But l do not urge the doctrine of inven- ton .or discovery being the most praise worthy. It is true he who brings hidden things to the knowledge of the public has done an act for which he should be reward ed by public regard. But there are sci ences and enterprises which are inchoate, and which were long since discovered. And he who will develope new beauty or value upon the discovery or inventions of others is equally entitled to praise.
 But my subject is the cultivation of the mind. Look at that young man with a fine dress, a graceful walk, fashionable laugh, and a cigar in his lips. His head is almost as empty as his, purse. But we do not deny that he is natural genius. By half study he converses huently upon any subject. He is lettering his time away discussing some question upon which he knows but little and really cares less. He swears, frequents the Ball room and the opera, drinks liquor, tells long yarns when at the tavern, post-office or coffee house, and smoothes his whiskers, and seldom thinks of, and never performs a noble action. Young man, there's work for you to do. Ifyou have not employment as clerk, or have no opportunity of studying a profession, there is a work for you. There's vacancy in some workshop, a vacancy in the agricultural resources of your country, and there's vacancy in your own head and heart; and if you lay your hands to the work of improvement of your mind, you may yet become eminent in some laGdable enterprise. Constant and determined effort should be your motto. It will make a man of you. Persevere, and you will certainly become eminent, and shed a happy influence on all around von- God speed you!

"0ld Whitey" on a Bust"

That parsonage, says the Republic, oi whom our locofoco friends were wont to write and speak in past times, "Old Whitey,' yesterday had his war spirit considerably revived. We are informed that as the fire mans procession passed with its martial music, his rejoicing knew no restraints, and that, with mane and tail erect, he plunged into the midst of them, and spread dismay and confusion along the whole line.
 A correspondent of the Charleston News gives the following amusing account of the scene:
 We have had stirring time with the New York Bremen to-day, all our Fire Companies have turned out to do them hon. or. At noon, accompanied by half dozen bands playing martial music, they visited the President, who shook hands with all and asked how they dd.-As they were re- turning through the grounds in front of the Mansion, they beheld no less an important listener than "Old Whitey," the faithful an- imal on whose back Gen. Taylor won all his victories. Attracted by the powerful blast of martial music, he pricked up his ears and elevated his mane as though he smelt gun-powder, and was again about to rush into the shock of contendng hosts The next moment the old war horse gave snort and charged headlong through the New York band, who happily, however, escaped without injury. It was fine sight to see the heroic animal with his fiery eyes and arched neck, eager to have another dash at the enemy. Poor old fellow, he does not know that peace has been pro- claimed with Mexico, and that the war has been transferred to Congress.

 WHAT AN lNFLUENCE.-Therea are atleast three millions of mothers in the United States. These mothers, aside from older children, have, it is supposed, between two and three hundred thousand infants in their charge. No influence, at present, can reach these infant minds but that of mo- ther. These minds may be moulded at the will or discretion of these mothers. Ii this army of mothers should combine to accom- plish any given object, what might they not do? If every mother should initiate the example of Hannah the old, and con- secrate her infant to the service of the Lord, what could withstand such a moral intiu- ence? And yet from these infants are to come our rulers, our judges, our ministers and all the influence, either for good or eVll' which is 10 sway the deslinies of the nation

wont believe it We should be very unhappy if we
believed these noisy disclaimers could dissolve the

the South pays thirty Millions and gets back fen millions
The North pays ten millions and back thirty millions.
Will Mr. Orr publish bill of particulars and
specify the items. So long as orators confne
themselves to figures ofrhetoric, they are on safe
ground, hut figures of arithmetic are stubborn
