THE RISE OF REAL Estate IN ST.. PAUL
Elgibly situated, property in st. Paul has more
than doubled in value each year for the past
four years, and we have doubt bat much Of
it will continue to advance at similar rate for
the next two years. We may reasonably exc
pect that our population and improvements will
increase 80 per cent during the present year.
Less than five years ago, the land up n which
this city is located, was purchased at the Land
Office for 81 rs per acre. Before that, it was
held by no other title than sqnatters claim.
A number Of town lots have changed hands
since the opening of navigation, at prices rang
ing from 800 to $3.50. The lots are usually
SO feet front by $50 deep. Those sold for 800
each are located in the additions TO the original
town plat. On the.squares around the Capitol,
owners are asking from $500 to $500 per lot

New Orleans, May 27.-Dates have been
received from Mexico to the 18th Santa Anna
had issued many other arbitrary decrees-legis-
lave authority everywhere suspended; private
citizens disarmed; civil merged in military
authority. The remains of those soldiers who
fell in the Mexican war are to be disnterred and
placed in suitable sepulchres. A new govern
ment bank has started upon government loan
of from eight to twelve millions.

&c, &c because the Legislature is denied such
power.
In concluding all we shall have TO shy on this
subject, we desire our readers to determine il
the arguments advanced by the opposition to
County stock, have ever been met-whether the
proposition has not been clearly shown to be
everse to the constitution, and equally SO TO
common sense, to common law, to reason, right
md justice. And then, let them ask themselves
E the stake is sufficient to justify them in disre
gardng the conclusions Of their judgments and
the instincts Of their consciencrs.
We advise all those to vote for county sub
scription who can reconcile il with their duty to
themselves, the laws, and their fellow. men.

ENGLISH ADMIRALTY DECISION IN THE
CASE OF AN AMERICAN SHIP.-On the 10th
of January last, the American ship Daniel
Webster left Liverpool with a cargo Of general
merchandise, bound to Boston. The next day,
when in the Irish Channel, and while the wind
was blowing northwest, and the Daniel Webs
ter was close hauled on the northboard tack, she
observed the English bark Alert at a consider
able distance running before the wind and STAN
ding as if to cross her bows. The Daniel
Webster kept her course until she saw that
collision was unavoidable and then ported her
helm to ease the blow which she received
amidships. The Daniel Webster brought suit
in the Admiralty Court, to obtain compensation
for the loss arising from the collision. The
Alert entered cross action. The case was
tried on the 4th inst. On the part of the Daniel
Webster, it was alleged that the accident was
owing to Alert, either not porting her helm or
not doing it in sufficient time. 1t was answered
the part of the Alert, that the collision arose
from the Daniel Webster starboarding her helm
instead of keeping her course. The Court de-
cided that the fault was to be imputed solely to
the bark Alert.-N. Y. Courier and Enquirer

THE ERIE RAILROAD FARE REDUCED
FROM DUNKIRK TO N. Y. ONLY FIVE DOLLARS
AND FIFTY CENrs-Capt. E. II. Castle re-
ceved telegraphc despatch on Saturday, sta
ting that the fare on this magnificent road had
been reduced to FIVE dollars and fifty cents from
Dunkirk to New York. This is less than one
cent per mile. The road is one of the noblest
achievements of American energy and genius.
1t passes through a section of country whose
scenery is unsurpassed in beauty and sublimity,
a sight of which is alone worth ride to New
York It is constructed with six foot guape,
and has the most airy and spacious cars in
which it has ever been our good fortune to lux
uriate. Starting from Dunkirk in the morn
ing you arrive in New York the same evening.
1t has been the great instrument Of cheapening
the fare between the east and the west, and
with the other roads connecting with it, it has
shortened the time from days and weeks to only
thirty six hours. The west is greatly indebted
TO the Erie, and we are glad to know that in.
debtedness is being repaid with interest Chi.

BLOOD. &c.

Late aaviccs from Mexico indicate that the
government is.preparing to make and
making threatening demonstrations in the di-
rection of New Mexico, Gov. rrias was at FL
Paso about the last of April, with $50 men and
l6U officers {these latter always abosnd in Mex
lean armes,) and had issued calls for several
hundred more. Montenegro moves up from
Sonora with 5000 men, Morales from Durango
with 1000, while "war and death to los AmeIi-
canos" seems to be the evening and the morn
ing prayer of the Mexican. Bayonets, lances,
swivels, bombs and cannons, distinctly Wis
ible in the proclamations in fact, they sparkle,
whiz and boom from every sentence, while the
ink s,inks vilanously Of gunpowder. The Mex
lean Boundary Commissioners says that his gov
eminent has resolved to regard the refusal on
our part to recognize MIR. Bartle,,'s boundary as
a declaration Of war; Very we'll. Should that
event come, however, we doubt that Mexico
will be much benefited by the result. The
Mexicans are the most extraordinary selfdelu-
sionists in the world. Not enc out of fifty per-
haps, doubts the ability of Mexico to wage war
successfully against the United States. In less
than eighteen months, during the late war, they
were SO thoroughly nauled that scarcely thou
sand men could be mustered in one body in any
part of the republic beaten, baffl-d, routed, dy'
ing, the only show of resistance was made by
small parties of guerrillas, who made it conve-
nient to butcher any unprotected straggler
whom they might find miles from camp or from
his train. Aud yet such lesson is lost.
There seems to be no hand to stay that un-
happy country in her mad career. The selfish
leaders will not allow the people to draw in
struction from the story of the past. Some are
anxious to hurry crisis with this country, hop
ing 10 find their profit in the commissions; 9th
ers, perhaps, regard it as the best means to ac-
complish their object, viz: annexation to The
United States Santa Anna may regard it as TIT
excuse and the aid to the military despotisrn
which he now aims at. We however, give hin
credit for more sagacity, and are inclined t.
think tina, these late reports are not reliable.

are not founded in justice or sound policy p
We say, then, that the doctrine that a majority
of the people of the county may compel mi
nority to become stockholders in any corpora.
ton, is bad in principle, bad in practice, bad in
policy, bad in it's tendencies. The majority, with
just as much reason and just as much right,
would compel the minority TO become stock,
holders in any manufacturing monopoly which
they might choose to erect, or in any bank cor.
poration they might see fit to create might
force them to contribute their means 10 any pro-
)ect, which, to their arbitrary judgment, might
seem beneficial to the county. The inevitable
result Of such doctrine, put in practice, would
be the destruction Of all individual rights. 1t
is maxim Of common law, and the dictate of
common sense, that every man shall be secure
in the possession Of his property, and may use
the same in any manner he likes, not interfering
with the rights of others. The proposition then
to make the people invest their means as stock
holders in corporation, contrary to their judg
ment, contrary to their wishes, is fragrant in
vasion of their absolute personal rights, is sane
toned neither BY reason, right, nor law, but is
equally hostile to them all.
We have heard the doctrine advanced that the
powers not delegated by the constitution, re.
main with the people; true but not, as it 10
further argued, with the counties. From this
hey draw the conclusion that authority denied
% the legislature may be exercised by the PEG.
pie of counties. This 10 wrong, FIRST, because
he people Of q county are not the people who
framed the constitution, and, when acting (as
hey will act on the proposition now before
hem) as county, and with respect TO their
'ocial relation to the State, they do not act in
heir primary capacity, and cannot, therefore,
ieclare upon any reserved rights. Besides, the
anne doctrine leads to the palpable absurdity
hat the people Of county, can create county

be perfectly soluble and deprived of its unpleasant
