Facts and Fancies.

The New York National Democrat
says: 1.-The first election at St. Paul,
Minnesota Territory, took place on the
18th inst, and we are proud to state the
democratic ticket was carried by some
500 majority. This place which is al
ready Inhabited by some $4,000 citizens
and thousands more are focking there
every day-promises to support, TO the
utmost Of its strength, the democratic
ticket; and we feel proud in boasting that
the first electian which ever took place
in that promising country turned out in
the support Of the right cause"
We see the above going the rounds of
the Democratic Press; and find it last in
the Washington Union. Its absurdity
alone contradicts it; but to refresh the
memories of our readers abroad, we will
state, that there were not five hundred
votes in all polled in this place; neither
was there single Democrat elected,
who run on the "regularly nominated
democratic ticket Take the figure 5
and the from the enumeration of our pop
ulation, as above given, and it will show
very nearly cur strength. But all this is
not more absurd or supremacy ridiculous,
then hundreds of other faslehoods which
have been sent hence the past six months.
and sown broadcast over the land.
SrEAL1Nc.-The person or persons
who took from Mr.. Neill's store room on
last Saturday night. 80 pounds of fresh
beef, one half kit of mackcrel, crock of
butter, "the better half'' of deer, ('a
doe!'' an Indian orator would say,) are
kindly requested to return the same when
the have finished with them.-Pionecr.
The same night of Mr.. Neill,s loss. a
barrel of pork was stolen from Mr.. Bass's
lumber yard. The barrel was unhcaded,
the meat extracted, and the head replaced.
We have heard of several instances of
cloths being taken from lines, axes and
tools stolen, SC. We have evidently
reached that degree of importance in the
world, as to be thought worthy of visit
from a gang of thieves, reared and taught
their profession among the ''outsilers" of
the States. Minnesota is not a breeder of
these gentry. The Sioux Indians, even,
who surround St. Paul, are proverbialIy
honest. Let Marshal Cashier and Con-
stable French do their duty.
Rev. E. d Neill has been appointed
by the Governor, Superintendent of Com
mon Schools for the Territory. This ap-
pointmcnt, we feel assured, will give gen.
eral satisfaction. Few men have done
more for the infant cause of education in
Minnesota than Mr.. Neill. An appro-
pirate and timely circular from the Super
intendent will be found in our columns to-
day. 1t is to be hoped the series of school
books which he recommends, will meet
the appreciation of trustees and teachers,
and be uniformly adopted. This is
matter all-important to the success of our
schools, and must not be overlooked.
''About these days." as the almanacs
say, the Pembina delegation TO our legisla-
ture, will leave their homes, six hundred
miles north of us, for the Capital. They
will come with dog train, which many
who have never seen that kind of "con-
veyance," may imagine to be a very cosy
way of travelling; but in truth it is no

LETTER FROM GEN. FOOTE.
BENroE, July s, 1851.


M Dear Str:
When had the pleasure of seeing you in
Lexington, a few weeks since. you gratihed
me highly by avowing your entire opposition TO
the assembling Of the proposed Southern Con-
public if chose to do so. Since that period
have referred to your change of position upon
this point, repeatedly in public speeches. AS
this is the only really practical point left open
between the two parties now eontending for
victory in Mississippi, or at least may be fairly
regarded as embracing all others; / trust you
will allow an old and warmly attached friend
to enquire whether your views upon this subject
have undergone any change since we last met,
or whether you agree with me in being utterly
opposed to the sending Of delegates from our
own State TO that Congress, and apprehend
therefDm the most deplorable consequences.
/ am now, as / have ever been, your devoted
friend, II. ,. kOOIE.
