PUBLIC ScHooLs-THE BAPrrsrs.-At an asso-
citation lately held in the city of Philadelphia,
the following resolution was unanimously adop-
ted:
ResoIved, That as an Association, and express
sing as we believe the earnest convictions of
one million of commandments in this country,
affiliated with us. we earnestly protest against
any sectaran appropriation of public school
funds. Although from our numbers division
OF such funds would secure to the Baptist de-
nomination large apportionment vet we
cheerfully acquiesce in the wisdom of not rec
ognizing any religious sect in our public sys-
TENS Of education.
MORE STEAMBOATS, Losr.-Since our last pa
per was issued We regret to have to record the
loss Of three more steamboats,, the Lunette. Ro-
bert Campbell and the Golden Era The Lu-
nette and Campbell were burned at st. Louis
at the time the Montauk was burned, and the
Golden Era was sunk below the Rapids. The
Lunette was loaded for the Upper Mississippi
and had large quantity of freight for ST. Paul,
principally consigned to Rey & May and John
Harrington. 1t was published at the time that
Messrs. Rey May were fully insured and that
MIR. Harrington was not, but the St. Louis News
of subsequent date, says the person of whom
Mr.. F. bought, had his purchases fully insured.
Below we give list OF all the freight consigned
to st. Paul. taken from the manifest of the Luz
nctte, which We find in the St. Louis News

MORE TRoUBLE-The New York Evening Post
one OF the Barnburner organs in that city is
down upon one of the late Presidential appoint
ments. In speaking of the appointment of John
Y. Mason, as Minister to France, it says that the
French Court is sphere for which he pos
neither the natural nor acquired endowments
neither the capacity, the political and diplomat
ic knowledge. nor the business habits which are
necessary to fill it with honor. The lobby at
the capitol has lost ford and good -natured
member, but the diplomatic corps of our coun-
try has gained nothing. There is yet one point
of view, in which, as political optomists, we
are bound to present the case to our readers
The removal of Mr.. Mason from the Hobbies at
Washington puts an end to the danger of mis-
chief from his agency in that qaarter, and res
torres him to his original inactivity"
ANOTHER VIEW OF ST. PAUI.-Mr. J. E. Whit
ney, Daguerrean Artist. who has just returned
from the East, made arrangements while absent
to have his picture of St. Paul engraved on
stone and published. His view was taken from
the bluff below the residence of Mr.. Dayton,
and being Daguerreotype is of course natu-
raj, with the exception of the new buildings
ken.
R. p. RUssELL~-This gentleman, who has
been member of the board of County Commits
sioners of Ramsey county ever since the coun-
ty was formed. will retire from the board on
the 3lst of December next. During this time
owing to peculiar circumstances. not necessary
to mention, the whole care and responsibility
of conducting the financial business of the coun
ty has devolved upon his shoulders His labors
as a member of the board has been so arduous
and often times embarrassing, that it is no won
der he should wish to retire from it though il
is unnecessary to add that his duties have been
performed to the entire satisfaction of the citi
zens of this county. We hope his successor is
as fully qualified to conduct the public bust
ness.
- The Lacrosse Democrat says:
"A late number of the ST. Paul Minnesotian
says that they have not had frost there yet
Wonder if they never have winter there?"
| There, neighbor, you have us. We do have
winter here and such winter as you outsiders
mot you either, because you live so near Min
nesota, that your winters must be in measure
like ours, only not quite so much SOY may wish
for in vain. We have none of your cold. damp
drizzly, chilly, misty, foggy atmospheres of the
States. but one of uniform stiffness and cold
ness. 1t is not cold one day, warm sun the
next, so that farmers are thinking about pillow.
ing, heavy rain and deep mud the next and
the day following windy and cold enough to
freeze the tail off a east-iron dog; neither dc
we have all these kinds of weather on the same
day as is frequently the case among the barba.
rians of the Atlantic coast and in the country
about the great lakes. Our winters are very
cold. ECONOMICALLY, mild and beautiful
practically, and very pleasant socially: and we
