dreamy distance. with its praires That surround
island groves, far toward the Missouri, inviting
all the honest iaborers Of the world, to industry :,
comfort. independence and afiluence.
Brokers AND CApirAI.--To do business
requires cash. 1t is men Of industry, force and
capital, who are new in demand in Saint Paul, to
meet The grand exigencies Of our time and posi-
ton; and when and where there is want of men
or capital, however great, that want will present.

LIFE OF GEN. Scorr.-The Galena tdver-

bers. Capt. John A. Wakefield, of Aam,axe
county, Iowa, author Of 1.-The History of the
Black Hawk War" also of an unpublished novel

BoArs.--Since the Ben Campbell lief. on Mon
day, boats until the West Newton came on
Wednesday morning. Then an hour afterwards
the Nouiinee-and before noon, the Dr. Franklin
No. 2; (Which boat, learn, stopped to tow
rats, and this was the reason Of her detention
on "Wednesday. She charters herself To ST. An
thony, committee having come dow n to take the
management Of the boat and officers, to see tina,
she makes fair, honest trial to run up the Rap
IDS 10 ST. Anthony, and earns the $500 for winch
she incurs the hazard Of the experiment. If the
boat cannot run up there empty, in the present
stage Of water, what will boat do in low water,
when cattle and horses ford The river any where
along below the Falls, for miles, as if it were
mere spring branch?
NEW CANpIpArEs.---The Harrisburg Tele-
graph says, "there some gentlemen in Ba,i-
more, anticipating that he difficulty will be so
gren, in regard to Fillmore, Webster and Scott,
that new may he selected, stand ready to
propose Gov. Ramsey, of Minnesota, us the can
didate for President, with Edward Stanly, of
North Carolina, as Vice President.
We clip the above from the Philadelphia Sun;
and have mol the least doubt, but that if Alexan-
der Ramsey had been nominated, he would have
been very hard candidate to beat
ScENERY.-We have heard men Of the most
cultivated tastes, aver, within week, that they
had never seen any spot on the Mississippi river,
above or below the Falls, that would at all COM
pare with ST. Paul, for beauty and magui6cence
OF scenery and grandeur of perspective. The rv-
er is visible for many miles, above and below our
town, shining afar up and down its serpentine
cha mel.
THE CAP1roL.-We are glad TO be informed
by Mr. Daniels, the contractor, that, contrary to
week in the Pioneer, the work Of building the cap
itaI is progressing--a the stone-work for the
foundation and cellar being completed, and forty
thousand Of brick being delivered on the ground
for the walls. This correction is made cheerfully:
and those who know us will believe us when we
say, that we had no knowledge that the work
had been touched since last autumn; as it certain
ly had not been when we inspected it few weeks
ago. Will the ST. Anthony Express please to no.
tice this correction: The fact is, our town is SO
long and so broad, that it is very easy matter
for church a capitol to be half built before we
know it. The capitol ought to be so Ear compile
tie as to be ready for the use of the Legislature
next winter, and for aught we know, it viii be.
AT any rate, Mr.. Daniels expresses the utmost
determination TO put it through without delay.
PRAIRIE DU CHIEN.--NVe have now be-
come well satisfied, that with proper manage cement
and the help of proper influences, the Milwaukee
railroad will pass down the valley ofthe Wiscon-
sin river, and terminate on the Mississippi river
al Prairie du Chem and that Prairie du Chen,
