THE TRADE on THE MIENEsoTA.-Thus far
the business the Minnesota has far surpassed the
expectations Of the sangune. Three boats have
been steadily employed, with high water and heavy
ireigh,s. There is doubt but the business on the

boats long the river remains navgable, as but
very few supplies have yet gone up for individuals
compared to that taken for the Government
We are glad learn that immigrants to the Terri
tory are visiting the country themselves, and not
trusting tie report Of others. This class Of per-
provides large proportion of the passengers

object.
