TIE DBrRIBurMG Posi- OFYICE. Considerable
feeling seems to exist between the GaIena ana
Dubuque people, concerning the point where
the Distributing Post Office shall be located.
Formerly the Office was ct Galena, but the Post
Office Department ordered it to Dubuque. At
this movement the Galena people protested,
and have held meeting, passed resolutions re-
questing the Post Master General to remove
the Office back to their city, and give them the
same mail facilities they formerly enjoyed. The
Dubuque people kick at this and claim that
the Office shall be located there. And so the
war RACES. We have not examined into the
merits Ofthe question, but we must confess that
we have little selfish feeling in the premises.
We are anxious to get our mails as soon as pos
sible, and if the Office at Dubuque will afford MS
better facilities than at Galena, We 60 for that
If not, we 90 for Galena. Amidst the con-
flictng elements existing between the two rival
cities, we trust the claims of Minnesota will not
be Observation-Disclosures.
1t would require but moments thought and
investigation on the part of the Pioneer editor
to convince him, that, for the present at least,
and in all probability for some time future, it
is the interest of Minnesota to have the distri-
buting Office at Galena. The present arrange
ment ever since it commenced, has caused .
delay in our mails from the East of from one to
three days. This was the case during the season
ofnavigatiOn. when our mails were bought by the
river What further or greater Inconvenience
and delay we are doomed to suffer the coming
winter, in case the distributing office is not re-
placed at Galena, heaven only knows; but GER
tain we are it will be worse than during the
summer. The facts, however, are all before
our Delegate at Washington, who we are conf
dent will do whatever he can to set matters
right.

Dinah probably takes the papers, and see
ing that 'Massa Guthrie was going it, hand
and glove, with the opponents of the Fugitive
Slave Law in New York, concluded it would
be all in the family by thus selecting the same
class of associates in Ohio.
LouIsIANA.-A dispatch from New York, dat

Congressional delegation stands three Wings

WINTER AMusEMENTs PREPARED FoR-Gonp
up town Monday, we met Benson, appearing
more afable and pleasant than usual. The
cause was soon explained: the Dr. Franklin
had been up the day previous and brought his
stock OF elegant sleighs which are to make st.
Paul merry the coming season. They are beau
ties, and no mistake. They come from the most
ceieprated manufacturers East, and are pre-
cisely OF the same pattern, style and finish as
those which will grace the fashionable avenues
OF Boston and New York this winter. Rensop
appears determined to keep ST. Paul in the
front ranks, so far as elegant and comfortable
livery is concerned. We found also, that since
our absence Dick Wilkinson has been employed

that the Mcs>rs. Elicit will break their promise
already made to sell goods during the winter

them. 1t will be given and no mistake.

Keeping up his Express during the winter. His

proper place. This has not heretofore been a
paying business, but the enterprise of Burbank
deserves reward. and we hope he will vet live
to see himself the express man of the North.
