A HARD DUry-By resolution adopted
by the City Council at its last meeting, we
perceive the City Attorney has had a very
difficult duty imposed upon him. The res
Olution reads:
RESOLVED, That the City Attorney be in
structed to draft an Ordinance for the reg
ulation of the Fire Department of the
City and also an Ordinance to prerem fires
wtthin the limits Of the City,"
The prevention "of fires within the limits
of the city" is cons1mmation devoutly to
be wished, but We incline to the opinion that
it will require something more than an cor
dinance," to prevent their occurrence. How
ever, we rejoice to see the Council arousing
to the necessity of doing something to
guard against the destruction of property
by the dcvonriug element, even should it be
no more than words. We hope, however, to
see the Council at once adopt some rcgula-
tiOas relative to the matter and after that
body does adopt them, we trust they will
not be repealed By the sane Council, as was
the case with the ordinance establishing the
fire limits Of the city I!

Note of MIR. Forbes.

Below we publish card from our worthy
and accommodating Postmaster. relative to an
uncaIicd for and unprovokcd attack on him,
in the Democrat Of Thursday evening. The
courtesy and promptness with which Mr..
FoREEs and his Assistants attend to tic du-
ties of the Office, is matter of general re-
mark, and to say the least, it is unkind in the
Democrat to publish such an attack on him
and them as that referred to. But we presume
the editor of that sheet is still writhing under
the castigation the people gave him through
the ballot-box on election day; in the giving
of which Mr.. FORBES took no small part:
ST. PAUL Posr-OFFIcE,
Oct. 20, 1854.
Editor Pioneer : In reference to squib in
last nights Democrat, wherein he says the
steamboat Alhambra" arrived late on Tues
day night, and the mail was still on the steam
boat on the following morning at I o'clock, l
have to say, that the Alhambra did not arrive
until long after midnight, and on the morning
to which he REFERS there being no conveyance
at the landing early to bring up the mail, the
letter bags were carried up by my assistants
and the letters distributed before Z O'clock
Such attacks are uncallcd for, and to say the
least, uncourtcous, when the editor of the Dem
ocrat knows well that no cxcrtion is spared at
this Office to expedite the receiving and open
ing of mails when brought within its reach
will here quote from letter received from
the Post-Office Department, 26th Aug, 1854,
for the benefit of the Democrat, so that he
may see whether my duties arc performed cor
rectly or not, as he evidently meant to make
the charge Of negligence against this office.
As follows =
an regard to the duties of the Galena and
Minnesota Packet company, you are informed
that they are bound to take from and deliver
the mail into your office"
1t seems to me, Mr.. Emerson, that after such
instructions received, the fact of our carrying
the mail from the steamboat on our backs, does
not certainly show disinclination to accom-
modate the public, and hope the Democrat
will in future vent its spleen and bile on some
other subject, and not strive to injurc me in
my public capacity.
Yours, obcdientIy,
WIN. HENRY FORBES,

Dcash of Professor Darby.

Under the telegraphic head of number
of our exchanges, received by the last mail.
we find the following simple despatch:
New York, Oct. 10.
WM. DARBY, long eminent as geograph-
er, died yesterday at Washington.
Professor darcy. was certainly the Nes-
tor Of American Staticians. His labors
were uurcquitcd; and he died as he lived,
poor! For several years past he has held
a clclk>hip in ore of the bureaus in
Washington, the duties Of which station
were performed by his wifc-agc and dis
case having impaired his faculties to such
an extent as to incapacitate him for the
task. In 1852, we heard him deliver a
series of lectures on the geography of the
Northwest, over all of which he had
travelled in order to facilitate himself in is
favoritc employment, drawing maps. When
We first met this gentleman he was Pro
fcssor in Jefferson College, Pennsylvania
where bis courtesy and urbanity Of manners
added to his literary attainmcnts, drew
around him troops of friends, who will now
with US, regret his departure hence.

B9LThe Pioneer invites the Democracy
who have been so outragiously whipped in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, to come to
Minnesota. Not so fast, neighbor; you
have got just as much as you can do to
keep your own party in order. Don't adj
wise your friends to jump out of the frying
pan into the fire, for you are not so strong
as you pretend The Wings are not all
dead, as you imagine. They are coming
Times
Why, neighbor, how you talk 4! You
certainly must have forgotten that out of
seventeen members of the next Legislature
now elected, the Wings have managed by
hook or crook to get one soliiary memler
Talk of the Democracy having as much
as they can TO to keep their party in
order, will We? IT'S nonsense. The result
of the late election, proves it foolish! We
want our friends in the States to come to
Minnesota, that they may take lessons of
our Democracy and return home and pro-
fit by what they will receive here! That's

Let me recite to you tie true history Of a
mn whose farm we passed over yesterday.
About f;ieen years ago Presbyterian Clcr-
gynan of New York had a waywalu son.
We have his name and location, but choO,e e
to withhold it at present. Before he was
seventeen he became so reckless and unruly
that lis father could DO longer control him.
He left for tic wicked and corrupt Ciry of
New-Y York, where he became a clerk in a
drinking saloon, but his character was too
bad to be retained there. He next was a
barkeeper in a theatre, and was dismissed
He went lower, and still lower, until he
slept in empty cellars and on the wharres of
the City, perfect nuisance and a disgrace to
his race. At this stage of his career an old
college matc-for our hero Was a graduate
of Que of the best colleges in the State of
Newly k-determined that he would hunt
him up and make one more effort to save
him. He went to New-York, and after a
week of diiliegent search, with the aid of the
police, he found him. He washed and cloth
ed him, took him back to the country, and
by every inducement that could be held out
to him, persuaded him to try to be man.
He made|the effort and was successful. That
friend who sought him out and who saved
him we arc well acquainted with. They 10th
determined to come to Tennessee to teach
school. They soon reached here, and with
the ighrecommendation they brought, soon
obtained good places. The reclaimed son
of the Presbyterian clergyman, within six
months after his arrival, married an orphan
girl worth $40, 600 in cash She had yOun-
ger sister and brother who each had equal
amounts. The sister soon after died, leaving
one half her estate to our hero and his wife,
and the other half to her brother, thus increas-
ING his estate to 100000 When the MeXi-
can war broke out the brother enlisted, and
made u will leaving all lis estate to his broth
er-in-law (our hero) and his wife, in case he
never returned from the war. He, like many
other of our noble youths, was killed at Bu-
cna Vista. thus our hero came in possession
of the entire estate of the family, which at
first was $4,000, which has increased by
advance of lands and increase of negroes to
over 100000. lie is now one of the rich.
