MINNESOTA AFFAIRS.

GEN. Mlx.-To this interchangeable mail
agent, we are largely indebted for our sum
mer arrangement for mails by stea mboat to
Minnesota. We only wish that his and Mr..
Sibley's earnest exertions did not avail TO
giving a mail by every one of the Galena
ami St. Paul packets.
SAT THE END OF HIS RopE."-It is said G.
X. Smith. ex-Secretary, is the wretch who wrote
that long. stupid thing, that was published and
mailed 70 members Of Congress, called a "circu-
lar True, it is quite harmless--one Of those
''circulars" that is fiat i, can never be got

less old rattle-snako. I.may be said tina, the old
Spunge had "taken Z drop too much Not for
suct an act lG he had taken the last DROP from
tie hangmon. it would rot have been drop TOO
much for the old rascal.

ieriln Conv enton, the churches of Minnesota. He

about SAINT Paul, that the boundaries and limits

Now if eur people ut something perrnanen, and

MINNESOTA LITERATURE.-A letter from
MIR. VIM. w. Turner, of N. Y. CITY, in
forms the Secretary Of the Minnesota His
torical Society, that the Dakota Dictionary
IS gong on well, under the direction of the
Rev. 5. Il. Riggs, Of Lac qui Parle. MIR.
Turner aids: "Mr. Riggs is interchangeable
in pushing it forward. No better man could
have been charged with it. He is a good
gramnarar, clear-headsd and cautious al.
though ready to admit every thing which he
Is satisfied to be an Improvement, AMI hi,
knowledge is evidently extensive and acu-
rate"
Mr.. Turner, (Secrctary we believe, of
the American chronological Soriety) further
says: by the all chiefly Of the materials
furnished IN Lieut.. Simpsons Report, !
have recently made what consider TO he n
discovery Of some Importance. II is that
inc APaches OF New Mexico, belong TO
what DIR. Ia!iatin has called The Atbapas-
can stock"
III an address before the chronological
Society, MIR. Turner spoke very flatteringly
OF Mr.. Simpson. The Savans Of n. York,
are delighted with the interest taken by our
Historical Society in Indian History.
During the last ten months, Sc, 500 have
been contributed in the lower Wards of
New York and n portion of BROOKLYN To-
wards the National Monument. |
