PeMbina.

Old folks brush up your memories,
and young folks get down your maps
and and tell US where Pembina is. Mu-
steal name, isn'tit?
Wen go up the Mississippi make .
wake through Lake Pepin. hear the
evening gun from Fort Snelling-up till
"The Falls of St. Anthony ring on the ear
up till away through the woods on
your left glitter the waters of Elk Lake
ON, till your canoe glides into Itasca
the birth place Of the Mississippi, and
the hurrah for the Red River! Up
you go, till yeu hear the murmer of the
Lake of the Woods on the east and the
hill of Selkirk's Settlement is waited to
the ear by the north western wind, and
just there, in Latitude 40 and longitude
20 west, five hundred miles from st.
Paul's, is Pembina The inhabitants Of
this remote settlement are half breeds. a
cross Of Indian and French, as happy as
the day is long, and affording lisely in
stance of the we'll known affinity of thu
French men for the Indian women. Thi
association of the two races favors thu
side of civilization more than barbarism
there the Pembinas are civilized. They
live in houses; they use carts and rais'
grain. Yet the circumstances of thei
location, or lingering of the Indian in
stinct, lead them to find their chief sub
sistence in the chase. Their arms are
guns their dress is half way between
that of the whites and the Indians
They wear Wild looking fur caps, blan
ket coats, pants secured around the
waist by belt, and deer-skin mocasins.
Their complexion is swarthy, their hair
and eyes black. Their language is an
impure French, though all probably talk
Indian beside.
In the Spring they put small patch
of ground in seed, and pack off to the
buffalo plains for the chase. In the
winter they hunt for furs. These are
their articles of export. AS soon as the
roads are dry in the Spring. a caravan
starts off for St. Paul, with these articles
for the purpose of trade.
The equipage is novel and curious. A
single OK is harnessed into the thils of q
cart, with collar and pad, as we har-
ness horse. The curt has high wheels
without particle ofiron about any part.
Circular strips Of green hide are stretch
ed around the ends, SO that when the
skin becomes dry it makes tight band.
A low covering of linen cloth is hoped
over the top Of the cart. which suits the
squatting posture of the women and
children, who sometimes come too, and it
serves for a canopy at night.
Frequently a caravan of these people
is seen coming into St. Paul. strung along
some twenty in number. Their journey
occupies fifty>6vc days.
These people. says the Minnesota
Pioneer, are simple hearted and accoun>
ted as citizens of the Territory. entitled

English and Anaerican Diplomatists.-
A leading article in the London English
Herald, recommends reduction in the
salaries Of English Foreign Ambassadors,
and especially reduction in Sir Henry
Bulwer's salary, the Minister to the
United States. That gentleman now
receives G4,500 per annum, and $500
for house rent. The Herald advises the
government to knock off one thousand
and remarks that even 81. 900 would be-
liberal allowance for an English envoy
to "Model Republic" The Herald
argues that the American Governments
pays small salaries, and yet the work of
the government is we'll done; and ii
asks: "Where is the commercial treaty
in which the Americans have been OUT
witted ? Where is the negotiation in
which they have not ably, intelligently,
and usefully maintained their rights p
The American Jcffersons, Adames, Mon.

CoURTs. - letter from Monsieur GAILLARpET,
published in the French paper at New York, con-
tains the following paragraphs
"Whilst the Elector of Hesse- Cassel Is implorng
the protection of Austria against his subjects who
are more friendly to law and order than is agree
able to him the Court of Vienna is preparing, it is
said to demand satisfaction of the English govern
ment for the outrage committed by the populace OF
London on Baron HAYsAU, sunamed the ETecu-
tioner Of Hungary. Far from deploring these cx-
cesses, the people ofLondon seem to have applauded
them; for 1t recent meeting, orator who was
very much relished, expressed his regret that the
workmen of Messrs. Barclay & Perkins had moi
dropred Their austrian uisitey in rat Of beer and
subscription was proposed at Liverpool to erect a
monument to these workmen. As off set, the
portrait of Queen Victoria has been hacked to
pieces in coffee house of Vienna by Croa officers

wash this dirty linen at home.'

The same correspondent says
"Messrs Bell and Welsh, who take the place Of
Messrs Schenck and Yinton, are fair sensible men,
who cannot at once make good the places Of their
predecessors Mr.. Welsh Is a middle aged lawyer,
Of high character for integrity but will make no
| figure in the House. Edgcrton, who supplants
Wood, is smart clear headed fellow, land agent
by profession, and in politics 'goes in to win.'
"Jewet, who will probably run out Hunter, is
lawyer of some reputation. The district includes
| the strong opposition county OF Monroe, and was
only carried by Hunter on personal grounds
Townshcnd should represent 80 upright intelligent
and essentially Wing district as the Huron, but
| the distractions and perv ersons there leave
hope Of different result.
'.The three most doubtful districts the 9th,
(Pckaway,) 10th, (Franklin,) and 18th, lMor-
gan. Perry, and Washington) These are all now
represented by our adversaries, and unless we gain
two of them we shall probably lose ground in the
delegation. The candidates are
9h--P. Van Trump against DR.. Edson B. Odds
l0th.-Saml. Galloway against Charles Sweetser.
| 13th.--Wm. E. Fink against W. A. Whittlesey.
al consider Fink's chance best of the three; Gal
loway's is fair; hope Van Trump will beat Olds
but do not expect 1t.
GAS to governor, many Wings say Johnston will
be elected do not think Woods election seems
| to me sure.
"Many Wings quite sanguine of carrying
| the Legislature. ] can only possibility Of it.
The Free soip organization dcprives us of several
of strongest countes, while it takes none from
| our adversarics. II destroys our natural majority
of six to eight thousand for Governor on the Re-
serve, and probably insurcs majority there
against The rational probability is that this
| beats US all round.
