MINNESOTA.
BY THE EDITOR OF THE PIONEER.

With a hurried pen, we proceed, this
week, to delineate a sketch Of Minnesota.
The entire boundary of our Territory, is as
follows:
Beginning in the Mississippi river, at the
point where the line Of IS degrees and so
minutes Of north latitude, crosses the same,
thence running due west on said line, which
is the northern boundary Of the State of
Iowa, to the N. w. corner Of Iowa; thence
sOutherly along the western boundary Of
said State, to the point where said bOunda-
~ strikes the Missouri river; thence up the
middle Of the main channel Of the Missouri
river, to the mouth Of the White Earth riv-
er; thence up the middle Of the channel of
the White Earth river TO the boundary line
between the possessions of the United
States and Great Britain; thence east and
south Of east, along the boundary line be-
tween the possessions Of the u. S. and
Great Britain to Lake Superior; thence in
"a straight line to the northernmost point Of
the State of Wisconsin, in Lake Superior;
thence along the western boundary line of
the State of Wisconsin to the Mississippi
river; thence down the main channel Of the
Mississippi, to the place Of beginning.
This is a vast arca-certainly large enough
for State, extending through more than
six degrees Of latitude, and in width, from
the Missouri OH the west, to The St. Croix
on the east: that is, it extends east of the
Mississippi river. The portion lying east
Of tho Mississippi, or between Wisconsin
and The Mississippi, a comparatively narrow
segment, has been bought of the Indians,
and is our present home; but of the part
even on the east side, all the northern pOr-
lion, still belongs to the Chippewa Indians;
g S<~ A
and of pine, through which the Mississippi
and il tributaries, roll their dark, solitary
waters; while all the land west Of the Mis-
sissippi, belongs to the Sioux, being en-
bracea in the treaties negotiated last sum
mer.
NAvIGABLE WATERS OF MINNESOTA.
Ia the north, is Red RIVER, a sluggish,
deep river, navigable for batteaux and Dur
ham boats, and doubtless for steamboats,;
but what is the real capacity of that river
for navigation, we do not know. Ii rises in
Minnesota, and flows northeast, that river
and the Mississippi, flowing off in opposite
directions, and the Portages between their
waters, icing very short.
The Missouri river, not navigable for
steamboats,, as far up as the Minnesota line
ordinarily, without the removal of obstruc-
tions.
The Mississippi river, navigable always
when open. to Fort Smelling. which is four
miles aud half south west Of 81. Paul! and

Element.
How swecily in this best retreat
The cool, calm evenings fall,
Whilst scenes and sounds familiar once,
A far off land recall
Or morning when the hill side green,
IL bright with golden beams,
And flowers as large and fair as those
OF childhood's widest dreams.
How deep the solitude which reigns
In yon thick forest gIades;
Where under tangled leaves and flowers,
Bright morn to twilight fades.
While Ger thy fertile prairie wide,
The silvery streamlet flows,
Its music heard, but not 10 break,
The spell Of deep repose.
SelkHk! thy sweet vale contains
All good this world can give;
Peace. Health, and Comfort, what remain.
To wish Tor but TO live.
/ feel thy beauty and thy charms,
Demand from ME no feeble praise;
l have no power, Jet fam l wouid,
A better-warner tribute raise.
For could leave this cheerful vale,
And quit thy hospi.able roofs,
Without one ssh-one keen regret,
And Of thy merits leave no proofs,
should unworthiiy repay
The kindness Of those friends,
Whose worth deserves as warm a lay
As love or Friendship ever pens.
My footsteps fate pcrchance may lead,
To other lands and clmnes,
And treacherous memory may forget,
The joys Of bye past times.
But thou, sweet Selkirk, from ny heart,
Though weary then and worn,
Though care and sorrow cloud my path,
Thy name shall not be torn.
] love thee; for thy woodland scenes
Recall my chiidhood's hours,
And as my native State is dear,
So aro thy woods aud flowers.

FISH AND GAME.

Wild game, except water fowl, we do
not consider abundant, in these parts; but
we have the latest ducks and geese feeding
upon the rice lakes, and the most OF them.
that you ever saw OF heard of. As for fish,
it is no exaggeratiOn to say that Minnesota
her rivers and streams, but especially
lakes, are alive with them. We will war
rant all fishermen I'M all parts of the world,
M abundance Of sport and of success, in
fishing. You can catch just as many bass
and pickerel as you want. In the river,
right before the dooF Of the Pioneer office,
We catch not only the catfish, (none Of
your Shiny, muddy cats ether but also the
wall.eyed pike, MOST delicious fish. In
many streams, the speckled trout ahounds,
varying in size frona ; inches to 2 pounds.
But 1t IS idle for novice, to try to catch
trout. 1t is as tickliah business as fortune
hunting.

The GermanianA.

These splendid musicians gave their first con-
cert last evening at Carusi's Saloon. The hall
was filled to overlooking by highly delighted
and fashionable audience, The Germanians played
superbly; several of their pieces were encored.
Mr.. Schultze played Davids glorious variations,
for the violin, on a Russian air; and we must
confess that his performance that difficult in
strument pleased us more than any other we
have had the pleasure of listening to for a long
while, He was most rapturously encored and
gave us the ever fresh "sounds from home"
Mr.. Alfred Jaell, the celebrated pianist, made his
first appearance in this city, and performed sew
eral fantasies on the piano forte. He is decidedly
the best performer on that grand instrument we
have ever heard: we even think him superior
to the far-famed Leopold de Meyer Everybody
should 60 and hear him. His Carnival Of Venice
was most marvellous performance, which, of
course, was encored, and in response he gave his
own Bohemian Polka in most spirited manner
The Germanians give their second and last con-
cert this evening

The Pennsylvania of yesterday contains the
following, which we prefer to quote without COM
ment:
tIMPoRTAET MovEMENT.-We have 1t from high
authority that the Southern Wings who seeded
from the Congressional caucus on the ground
that the friends of Scott intended to play fast
and loose on the slavery question, are now en-
gagged in preparing a manifesto to the people Of
the South. Information has reached US that the
friends Of Scott are waiting for an occasion to
check-mate them and if the Southern Wings
are not exceedingly careful they will be caught
by the willy leaders of abolition Whiggery-
Seward and Company. 1t is stated that the
Southern Wings will recommend Fillmore for
President, and make him the Southern Wing
Union candidate. In this event 1t is alleged that
some startling developments will be made show
ing that Fillmore is really the most erceptionabie
candidate that could be presented to the Southern
people, Of any party. The Southern Wings
would do well, therefore, to make no hasty
committas in reference to individuals, but stand
prepared to rally upon the platform of the
National Democracy"

In our kilograms of yesterday was statement
to the effect that the captain of Quebec vessel,
in the spring Of 1861, saw two vessels imbedded
in the ice, drifting towards Davis's Straits, which
vessels were believed to be the ships of Sir John
Franklin. This news, we are further informed,
received great attention at the Admiralty. The
London Times of the 18th contained three columns
of documents on the subject; but that paper of
the 18th put damper on the story by showing
it's impossibility, and the probability that what
the captain saw was only reflection of his own
vessel from two different surfaces of an iceberg.
Perhaps so.

National Theatre.

The opera has done an excellent business since
the weather has been good. Mrs. Seguin is al
most as successful as she was years ago: her
voice astonishes by its depth, its melody, and its
tone; and her execution of difficult music is as
perfect as ever. Of Mr.. Seguin it is unnecessary
to say word in praise: as o singer and an actor
he has few living equals in opera. Mr. Bishop,
though by no means eminent as tenor, has a
sweet and pleasing voice, but his falsetto is awful.
1t is due to the management of the National to
say, that the pieces are all beautifully produced
the appointments, dancing, music, dresses, &c.,
being unexceptionable. Tonight we are to have
an opera new to many of our citizens-the opera
of Masaniello.
Miss Eliza Logan's engagement will begin on
Monday evening next, the Sd of May. 1t was
postponed to allow our citizens an opportunity,
during good weather, to enjoy the music. She
will be assisted by her beautiful sister, Celia, and
by her father, always favorite. Miss Logan is
probably the most promising actress in this coun-
try. She has great advantages Her ambition
to excel in her profession has made her q close
student; and the fervor of her STYLE added to
her powerful voice. her distinct enuncation,
and her expressive untenance, give her the
advance of most of her competitors. The versa
tility of this young lady's acting is wonderful.
After Miss Logan, Mr.. Forrest will open at
the National. He will be assisted by Madame
Conisi, and also the best talent in Mr.. Marshalps
numerous corps. He finishes his monster ensl
gagement at the Broadway after playing to full
houses for more than seventy nights F.

Mr. BRADBURY introduced a bill providing Tor

bility of the judge.
Mr. Gw1S moved to take up the bill to create
= hoard of commissioners for the examination
and payment of claims against the United States
rowing out of the conquest Of California; and
the motion was agreed to. After some debate,
the bill was recommitted to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
The subject of non-intervention was then taken
up, and Mr.. COOPER addressed the Senate thereon
HOUSE OF REPREsENrATIvEs.-M OLDs asked
cave to introduce resolution calling upon the
President of the United States for information
relative to the Gardiner, Mears, Hargous, and
other claims against the Mexican government;
but objection was made
After further proceedings, the House resolved
itself into Committee of the Whole on the state
Of the Union and resumed the consideration of

port.

MCDONOUGH'S Patent Universal Re.
Nl frigcrntOr.-I would respectfully call the aten
ton Of hotel ropretors and others to the
Universal Refrigerator lately invented by A. McDonough
specimens of which be at my establishment
This Refrigerator is altogether different from all others be-
fore the public in its combinations apartments vessels
and the philosophical principles of its construction The
case made of wood which is free from SMELL and lined
with metallic surface, and its interior Is of stoneware 1t
arranged that each article of food provision is kept
entirely separate and removed with facility By the plan
Of its construction Of cold air is in constant crc
aon around each vessel and within each apartment while
by simple ventatng continuance the complete purity Of
the whole apparatus is insured thereby obvating all the
old objections that have been made in every other invention
for the same purpose, viz by avoiding that liability to
gender local relative odors from the viands meat fish,
vegetables, pastry fruit which be contained therein
The convenience which affords for retaining the purity
and sweetness Of good butter particularly cannot be
passed and the small quantity Of Ice that required keep
everything cold, is a most economical desideratum.
The proprietor challenges the country produce
thing that will compare with IT. and he guarantees to keep
provisions colder and sweeter with half peck Of ice in
twentyour hours than any other Refrigerator with
peck The cost of the Universal Refrigerator is low
that of the ordinary kind and will hold provisions.
