Saint Paul is quite anxious to extend naviga-
ton up both branches of the Mississippi, that is
to say, up the Upper Mississippi and the Minnesota
rivers, which unite between Fort Smelling and
this town and form a river suitable to be naviga-
ted by large boats. SAINT Paul intends to have
small boat or boats constructed, expressly to
run, when Practicable, up the rapids, TO the foot
of the Falls Of Saint Anthony, or as near as it
is possible to get, TO the landing Place of the Gov.
Ramsey above the Falls. Saint Paul also ill.,
tends to have several boats built suitable to nav
igate the Minnesota river and is just near the
head Of steamboat navigation as any town can
be, that expects to concentrate the river business
of the Upper Mississippi and the Minnesota val
leys "a business, which viii be carried on by
changing the mode of conveyance and the class
Of boats, at Saint Paul. Our town feels none of
that feverish anxiety on this subject, that seems
TO nett!e the Express but rests secure ia the pre-
sent enjoyment of this trade, which nature and
the laws Of commerce have made inevitably
ours, unenyious of all the great natural advanta
yes Of Saint Anthony, its unrivalled cataract des
tined to turn hundred mills, its delightful seen
cry and It's commercial resources, which by
connection with the lower river trade, either b,
light steamboats, running to Saint Paul, or, (Which
would be better) by plank or railroad, will max,
Saint Anthony also an important place Of trade

Or The Chicago Tribune thus notices the re
turn Of Mr.. Mccormick, palentce and manufacu
rer of the "Virginia Reaper" from the scene o
his triumph at the Worlds Fair to his western
home:
Returned We had the pleasure yesterday o
extending a welcome greeting 10 our iellow-clt
zen, e. II. Mccormick, Esq, who has iust arriv'
ed home from the scene ot'hs splendid triumph in
England. Mr.. McCormick's visit to Europe, ia
connection with the exhibition of his reaper AT The
Worlds Fair, has been an event which, besides
rendering him famous as an inventor and beneac-
tor, and as the medium through whose genius the
honor Of his country has been INST nobly sustained
abroad, will result unquestionably in securing him
a fortune little short Of princely.
We learn from MIR. Mccormick that he has
made arrangements for the manufacture of from
five hundred to one thousand Of his reapers in Lon
don in time for the harvest Of next year. lie has
also taken out patents for his reaper in Scotland,
France, Belgium, Austria and Prussia, and will
probably introduce his machine into each one OF
those countries during The next year. indeed, as
soon as is was learned by the yisters al the fair
that he had made arrangements to commence the
manufacture of them in England forthwith, there
were quite number ordered by citizens Of The a.
boyenamed countries. We doubt not that in the
course of another year Mr. Mccormick will find it
b MANUFACTURES n ess's whsat
growing Stale of Europe, and that all along the
shores of the Mediterranean, the Baltic and the
Black Sea, his reapers will very SION cuIne into
general use.

THE WIFE OF KossUTH.

The New York Express, in an article on the
expected arrival of Kossulh, relates the following
incident, Illustrative of the devotion of his wife to
her husband after being exiled 10 Turkey:
With him Games his heroic wife, who, after his
exile commenced in Turkey, with Incredible sacri.
fees and devoted disregard to ih"nsand dan
pers. traversed HUSTLE territories, submitted 10 dep
rivanns and underwent sutfcrngs Of every kind,
Joined him al his retreat, by the not III N1onnt "
lympus. II was under the protection nf passport
from the British Consul General, at Belgrade, that
as British subjects, under assumed names, she and
her companions were enabled 10 accomplish this
great adventure, and when, on The twenty-elghlh
day, courier was sent in advance OF them 10 APP
prise Kossuh OF their approach to Shumla,-(he
was i'll /; and on account OF the many plans OF Inc
Ausrians TO assassinale him, the Sullans authorl-
ties would no, allow him leave Shumla and g. 10
meet his wife, the news of her dellverance and
her approach occasiuned the velest satisfaction TO
all the refugees and The llnngarians and Poles
went as far as the gates OF the city TO meet this
heroic martyr of,he cause of Hungary. 1t was night
when the carriage neared The city and as it en-
tered the gates she found the streets lighted with
hundreds of lights, green, white, and red, the col
iors of the Hungarian flag, and was welcomed with
the most friendly shouts from the Whole body OF
the refugees. And the account from which we
have quoted goes on 10 say
"When Madame Kossnh descended from her
carriage she found herself in the presence of her
husband, who had risen from his he'd Of illness 10
receive The poor "Maha F--n," Of the plains of
Hungary. In place Of receiving her in his arms,
NJ Kossu,h, overcome by feelings of admiration
for the sufFerngs which his wife had undergone.
and by gratitude for her devotion 10 the cause of her
country, threw himself al her feet and kissed them.
She endeavored to speak and offer her husband
consolation 'and tranquility, while her own poor
feeble heart was ready to burst with emotion. Her
voice failed her, and amid the reiterated shouts of
the Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman was
carried to her husbands apartment" =.
In OUT rejoicing, therefore, at the liberation and
the coming hither Of The great pariot, let us not
forget the heroic adventures Of his noble wife, and
let the same interest which the British Consul at
Belgrade, and the united population of Shumla dis
played in her success, the same respect for her viz
tues, the same jy at her happiness, be manifested
by the fathers and suns, the brothers and husbands
Of American women.

The LoAvEs AND FisHRs-A speech was made

neale, If Rockingham, gentleman whose name,
before the nomination OF Mr.. Letcher, was promi-
nently mentioned as one of the candidates Tor the Pc
Jestal Just made vacant BY the removal Of Mellow
ellis giant statue. MIR. Deneale appears 10 be
person VI infinite candur. His language, especial
| y when applied to his political opponents, sayors
/ rather Of the strong than The elegant. Thus, IN
one Of his speeches, he described The Wings as
"Me jacka!s Of federalism" and declared that ''if
e. w. Summers should come To the Valley, the
plough boys, if mol able TO throttle him. would trip
up his heels" That is certainly not exactly in
the Mcdowell vein. But we must concede the
candur of this representative Of The Tenth Legion.
The fuIuwing extract from his speech, portion Of
which we have italicsed, will establish that quail
