MINI ESOTA AFFAIRS,

The FALL TnApE.-Every boat that comes
to Minnesota this fall is loaded down with pas
sensers and freighr. The Upper Mississippi was
never known to be more favorable TO navigation
at this season Of the year. Since our las, publ
cation the Nominee, the Excelsior nd Dr. Frank
lin, No. |, have arrived. The Excelsior, besides
being loaded down to the guards, had in tow Il
large barge, heavily loaded; and it toot her near
ly "a hours to discharge her freight at this place.
The Galena Advertiser of the 2lst says:
at seemed yesterday as If the Nominee would
never get Off, SO nninterruptedly did the merchan-
disc continue to arrive. Cattle and cutters, goods
aud groceries, freight and passengers, were piled
upon the boat till late in the day She went off
at last, crowded from bow 10 stern, and from pilot
house 10 kelson.''
REMOVAL OF SEC. SMIrH.-This long
hoped Tor event has at length taken place On
Thursday of last week these glad tidngs were
irst promulgated in Saint Paul; and no, since the
ever memorable night of the 18th of October has
there been so joyful an occasion. Ii even ex-
ceeded the former jubilee; for a, that time we
knew of several individuals who did not fancy
the result of the election; while on the latter &C.
casion, every body was pleased Capt. Alexan-
der Wilhin has been appointed Secretary of the
Territory. This is an excellent appointment, and
so far as we can learn, gives universal satisfaction
The Ex-Secretary is a visit TO Ohio.
Al the same time that Capt Wilkin received
his appointment, as Secretary, Gen. ]. w. Fur.
Der, OF Cottage Grove, received the appointment
Of Marshal Of Minnesota, vice II. l.. Tillcn, re-
moved. This announcement surprised our ci,i-
ze"' as much as the preceding one sratifcd them;
and II is a matter Of mach speculation Is to The
cause Of Mr.. TiIden's removal.
We are panied to learn that Judge Goodrich,
Of The Seventh Judicial Circuit of the Supreme
Court of Michigan, and brother of Hon. Aaron
Goodrich, Chief Justice Of Minnesota Territory.
died in Detroit, on the 18th inst, of Typhus Fe-
yer. lie was formerly from Erie county, New
York. and resided in Michigan since 1887. He
was barely th;rty-sik years Of age. The Detroit !
Advertiser renders 4 warm and eloquent tribute
to his memory.

The MIssIssIPPI.--The Rev. +. II. Kava-
naugh, editor Of the st. Louis Christian Advo-
cate, who was for three years Superintendent of
Indian Missions of the Upper Mississippi river,
has settled the much disputed point Of eiymology
and precise meaning of the name given to the
noble and majestic river which waters the ''Grea,
Valley He says it is composed of two distinct
words: .NesseS (sreat) and .Seppe (river,) and
signifies ''Great River and not s.Father of Wa
ters.' or "Father of Rivers as has been here
tofore generally believed. DIR. Kavanaugh saws
that the word is pronounced by Us as it is written
and called by the French, which does not give
the true pronunciation according to the English
sound OF letters. "To obtain the original Chip
pewa sound Of the words, we should write it
'Mes-ses-sep-pe,' and give soft, gliding accent
to each syllable
An AFFRAY.-Senator Borland concerned.
The Little Rock, ARK Banner, states that on
the 18th inst, Messrs. Whitley and Reardop, cdi
tors OF that paper, were assaulted BY Benz +.
Danley, the Sheriff of the county, c. {. Danley,
Auditor Of State, VIM Danley, a steamboat en-
gineer, and Scion Borland, L. s. Senator. Blud-

knocked senseless with bludgeon. The paper

MExICo.--THE New REpUBLIc OF THE
RIO GnANpE.-.1he government Of Mexico mp
peurs to be the eve of dissolution The trea s.
ury is empty, the people dlsaaected, business
is prossrate and there is no master mind in the
country iranght with sufficient energy and possess
sing sufficient influence to meet the crisis. con-
venton of State Governors has been held, but il
proved an abortion. They could devise no plan
10 ameorate the general distress, and separated
without having taken any decis We action. The
cabinet were equally at fault, and being utterly
without resources, resigned IN body on the I'd
of September
We believe that the best thing for Mexico, un-
der present circumstances, would be the restora-
ton Of Sauta Anna with dicta,orial powers. He
seems 10 be the only Mexican Statesman whose
intellect Is of vigorous and commanding type,
and his reinstatement might possibly inspire the
dishearened and paralyzed nation with some
thing like hope and confidence.
Taking advantage of the present state Of af-
fairs NJ the capital aud in the central provinces of
Mexico. the projectors Of the long talked Of 'BuE
ialo Hunt ON the Rio Grande, have opened the
campai 5n with vigor and success in the States Of
Tamauiipas and Coahua Caraiaba, the well
known partizan leader al the head Of ii guerrilla
force and two companies of Texan Rangers. has
taken Ca,nargo, and al the last accounts was In
tail march for Matamoras. Canaes is with him
and We see thut a Captain Trimble is in com
mand of a portion Of his American allies 1t is
said that no government force capable Of arrest
ing The progress of the reyoutionsts can be con-
cenirated east Of The Rio Grande; so that the
slice of territory lying between the Sierra Madre
and the Rio Grande is probably by this time lost
to Mexico. The manifesto Of the insurgents does
not proclaim republic, except as dcraier re-
sort, should the Central Government refuse to
make the concessions they require. General
Arsta Is reported TO have taken part with the
revointionlsts; but this is doubtful.
These things are merely the beginning Of the
end. The Republic Of Mexico appears to be
breaking up; and perhaps The only question ere
long will be-What shall be done with the frag-
ments: The people Of Tamau!ipas and Coahua
are said to be very DESTROYS Of being adopted into
our political family; bat treaty faith foFbds that
we should receive them. In case Of a disruption
OF the Republic, other States would unquestiona-
bly,, be anxious to take shelter under our flag and
the question of their admission into the Union
would become an element Of political strife We
earnestly hope that the Government Of Mexico
may be able to ride out the storm which at pres
ent threatens it; for We have quite as many ap-
Piles OF discosd to quarrel over require, and
certainly do not want more territory. There is
stormy time coming, and our country and IFS III
stutions have hazardous ordeal TO undergo.

Ills of success and prosperity as lie vouchsafed to
