continue to enjoy her well-earned reputa-
ton.
wrote few words from Galena about
our new steamer St. Paul. l say our
steamer, because we feel that we can be
familiar with her, not only on account of
her name, but because of the genuine good
feeling and will which her owners have
ever manifested for the growth and pros
perity of our young city. We always
feel as though they were "with us and of
U.S." You have had a good time of it, ere
this, welcoming the Saint Paul 10 Saint
Paul. l should have been highly pleased
could l have been there. Iregret to learn
that Col. Goodhue was also absent. 5000
rilla" editors must have been scarce upon
that interesting occasion. Neighbor At
water, opine, would hardly condescend
to honor the occasion with his presence,
so anti are his to S.. Paul feelings. Well,
old fellow, don't be envious of our renown
and prosperity. The next new boat that
comes out, we will try and have the saint
of Padua recollected.
All the Harrises desire is to be sup
ported in fair and honorable competition
with the old line. 1t is our interest as
Minnesotians, and particularly we of St.
Paul, to see this done. l believe our bu-
siness will support the four boats to Ga
lena and support them well. The old line
is set, and we'll established. Now let us
give the Saint Paul ''fair shake;'' and
for the honor Of our city, for which she is
named, as well as for our interest in hav-
ing competition in the trade kept up, let
it not be said that the Saint Paul could
not exist upon the line she was built to
grace. feel certain she will be sus-
tanned.
Below Galena is packet the exact
twin sister of the Saint Paul in every re-
spect-built by the same artisans and fin
ished in the same style. This is the COL
den Era, Capt. Hiram Bersie. l came
down on her the other day, and found ev-
erything safe, comfortable and faultess,
albeit editors are not on the free list. The
Golden Era will make one trip to St. Paul
this season.
The city is full Of Minnesotians. We
have here at the Virginia, Orange Wal
ker, of Marine, Bart. Presley, Frank COL
Inns, Doc. Hichcox, and one or two 9TH
ers of st. Paul, and G. A. futile, of St.
Anthony. Up at the Planters are Borup
and his lady and his son, THEODORE
Combs is at the Monroe, on his way to
Ohio after wife. He is in good health
and spirits-he appearing to have got up
finely since he left st. Paul. Who is his
physician ? have heard DR.. Goodrich
spoken of as the man. LIE Due and lady
passed here the other day on their way
East. Lieut.. Johnson is also here, on his
way to join his regiment in Texas. His
good lady accompanies him to that wild
and distant frontier. l have always
thought that being married to soldiers and
Methodist circuit preachers were the hard
est lot women were called upon to bear
in this world. Stees goes up on the No.
2, this evening, having made extensive
purchases in his line.
All the world east of this as far as the
interior of Germany, appears TO be emf
grating. The rush is towards the land of
gold; but at the same time hundreds are
pouring into the new States above here,
and into Minnesota. There has been moth
ing to equal the extent Of this migration
heretofore. The Western Farm and Vii
lage Association have selected spot in
Wabashaw Prairie. The pioneers are al
ready upon the ground, and last evening
some thirty or forty went up on the Ex-
celsior. They are sober, industrious far
mers and mechanics, the very men for
new country. They came from their
homes at the east prepared to encounter
the privations of new country, and are
determined to stay. May God prosper
them! q

1t takes time TO get over this city, and
do it thoroughly. Therefore, if you and
