fifth large enough. Standing by the side of the
massive masonry of the City Reservoir, it has
the appearance of being smaller than it really
is. 1t is beautiful building, perfect in its ar
chitectural design and deliberately finished.
More than 500 patterns for castings have been
used in it's construction. The English Palace
was built with about 100. The English Com
missioner, the Earl of Ellesmere, arrived yes
tcrday in the ship Leandcr; number Of the
English nobility attend him. 1t is understood
that he makes western tour before the open
ing of the fair. 1t is possible but not probable
that he may go as far westward as the Missis-
sipp. At this present time, and for few days
past, the city has been full of the Charter
Election" excitement. 1t seems that the party
caucuses, conventions and pot-house politicians
had taken possession of the city and all the
goods thereof, and were in the habit of acting
strictly upon the maxim that to the victOrs be-
long the spOils, and the honest, busy. interested
citizens have suffered themselves to be hood
winkcd by the bandage of party, and then
pluckcd to pay the fifer. AT the election held
few days since, men of all parties joined hands
to defeat the plunderers and pilferers who have
made politics debasing bargain and sale of
votes. Thus our political evils effect their own
cure.

Well shall not attempt description of that

All the eligible points or town sites on the riv-

cling quite rivalry-many amusing evidences
of which have frequently been witnessed On
board the steamboats, running on the Minneso-

tors would get to discussing the merits and de-
merits of their respective places. The fact is,
all have their advantages and disadvantages

PRAIRIE stretching off from the place. parallel
with the river. some eight or nine miles i'm
length, and averaging miles in width, is being
rapidly settled and improved. 1t is divided
from large tract of heavy timbcrcd land bv a
considerable stream, upon which are several
good mill seats. With this combination of cx-
cellcnt prairie and wood land, timber and water
power, it certainly presents inducements to
farmers, rarely to be met with. But enough;
let strangers visiting that valley examine for
themselves, and if some of them don't form the
same opinion l have, l will admit that have
too hastily formed my opinion.
With regard to the town of lie Sucur. I need
only add that it was only laid out last winter,

A Card.

"THE MILITARY REsERvE.-Licut. J. W. Albert
of the corps of Typographical Engineers, has
finished the survey of the Fort Smelling Reserve
tract We hear that he will probably be APP
pointed to take charge of the Roads i'm the Ter
ritory, in the place of Capt. Simpson, who has
been ordered below. We hope the report may
be true. Lieut. Albert is an accomplished gem
tleman and gallant officer, of high reputation
in his profession. His reports of explorations
in the southwest rank among the most able
that have been published by the Government.
His appointment as the Typographical Chief
OF this Territory, would be a fortunate event,
both for our citizens and the public service"
The above is from the Democrat of this week
The public will notice the sly fling which Mr..
ID. \. Robertson has, just before retiring from
the editorial chair, chosen to cast at me. Mr..
Robertson is at liberty. as journalist, to think
and write of me as he pleases but thanks to
a discerning public, editors do not in this COM
munty make or unmakc men at their caprice,
or just as their selfish personal interests may
dictate. If there is anything which in this Ter-
ritory goes to slow that virtue and morality,
as displayed in the outward man, are the alone
recognized basis Of individual worth and con-
sidtration, it is the striking fact that never,
probably. has there been community where
the press has been so powerlcss whilst pursuing
a devious, wicked course, as it has been in this

could have predicted for him-thc continued
good standing and consideration of all those
whom he has in his Quixotic race attempted to
annihiate.
| In regard to the facts set forth in the cdtori-
al alluded to. they are about near right as
Mr.. Robertson has generally been, when his

later than last evening, informed me that he

to say whether so foolish a writer has any pre-
tensions to he accounted one of her progeny.
But have already, fear, bestowed more at

therefore close with the simple remark that my
