GEL 1t is estiwated by knowing ones, that
there are upwards of 10000 persons in New York
city who believe in the Spiritual theory advocated
by the disciples of the Spiritual Rappings. Among
this vast number there are many Judges, Law
yers, Divines, Editors, literary men, merchants
and mechanics. Notwithstanding the unpopular
ity of the theme, we find that there are numerous
firm believers in the doctrine in tho various sec.
tons Of our country, both north, south, east and
west. Although it is true the excitement attend.

about twelve miles from st. Paul, the body of a

of it was much bruised. No efforts were made IA

The large audiences which attend our different
places for divine worship on the Sabbath, indi-
cate that Shakopee and its environs is rapidly ll
ing up with law abiding, religious race. Every
Sunday large array of strange countenances
show that the tide Of emigration has been flowing
in the preceding week. Thereare, understand,

The corner stone of Protestant Episcopal Church

No place in Minnesota can boast Of having
more healthy location than our town. But one
death has occurred this spring. A Mrs. Hutchins
from New Hampshire, who arrived here few days
ago, died from epilepsy. have heard that she
has been subject to epeptic fits for the last twen-
ty-four years.
The steamer Globe returned yesterday from
the rapids, there not being sufficient water to allow
her to go over. The river is yet falling, although
it is anticipated that the July rains will soon
cause heavy freshet.
T. A. Holmes is now building a fine Office on
Holmes street. Holmes is also about to erect
fine three story brick residence, which will be
fitted up with all the modern improvements. A
large and inexhaustible spring of pure cold water
will be within Eve yards of his door, which will
be carried to every room in the house. He also
intends having handsome fish pond constructed.
The saw-mill at Jordan is now in operation,
and RATS f lumber are daily foated to this place.
In fact, the amount of goods and lumber always
upon the leyee, shows to strangers that we ara
going head with almost unparalleled success.
B.F. Davis has retired from the proprietorship,
of the WATSON Hotel. That fine establishment is
now in the hands Of E. Witcher.
A clothing store is to be opened next week.
Reports from the Upper Minnesota, represent
the various towns to be improving rapidly.
Our citizens are very anxious to have the lands
in this neighborhood surveyed, in order that they
may definitely establish the boundaries Of their

to the time when they will be suryeyed9 v.
ca We believe that no order has yet been re-

which our correspondent alludes. It is hoped,
however, that our Delegate in Congress will give
this matter his attention and that survey will be

RuNAwAr.-Mr. A. J. Morgan met with an ac-.
cident on the 4th, which came near being serious
in its nature. 1t appears that he was driving
two horses attached to carriage belonging to
Mr.. David L. Fuller, and when in Bench street,
the whip fell from his hand and struck one of tho
horses, which started OF on rapid gate. In his
efforts to recover the whip he dropped the lines,
and the horses becoming unmanageable they ran
down Third st., throwing him out near Truman
NJ. Smiths and seriously bruising his face, and
other parts Of his body. For time it was thought
that he was dangerously injured, but We are glad
to learn that he is able to be about. The horses
passed down Min. st. to Bench, back again up
Bench the Cen. House, where they ran against
liberty pole demolishing the buggy, and contin-
uing on up St. Anthony st. with only two wheels.
BY the time the animals reached their stopping
place, which was some where in the upper part Of
the city, one of them was overheatsd and fell
dead, and we learn that the other is 80 much in
jurod as to be of no further use. They were val
ued at from $500 to $500, and with the carriagc,
the loss is estimatedat not far from $500. We
believe that this is the only accident of any mag
nitude which occurred on the Fourth.

connection with this subject, we would suggest
that on such occasions as the Fourth, gentlemen
should submit their sentiments in writing, and
should always endeavor to write sufficiently plain
to avoid blunders such as the above.

MILITARY RESERVE CLAIM AssocIATIoN.-We
call attention to the proceedings of this Associ-
alton, which will be found in another column. 1t
is perfectly right and just that those men who
have been to the expense and trouble of building
on and improving the land they claim, should be
entitled to it at Government price. If it is for
their purposes and their purposes only, they should
be protected in their rights but spectators, who
hold the land to the detriment of the honest and
worthy pioneer, who, by developing its resources,
developes the wealth of our Territory, and the
wealth of the country-should be discountcnanced
by every lover Of humanity. Those who would
interfere with the rights of honest claimants,
would commit robbery on the high seas, while
those who would claim land, to which they have
no title, would be guilty of worse deeds. What
ever the issue, let right prevail, and we have no
fear for those deserving of success.

TIE HOMESTEAD BLL.--There are hopes, as we
learn from dispatches from Washington, of the
final passage of this Bill. On what grounds these
hopes are based, it is impossible for US to say,
but we utterly dispair of the same body of men
which passed the Nebraska scheme, giving their
support to so bcnifcient q measure as that of the
the Homestead Bill It is somewhere stated that
out Of evil cometh good. Possibly this may be
the case with the present gentlemen that infest
the halls of Congress, but should they conde-
scend to grant to the actual settler few acres of
land whereon he can build homestead, we
shall then feel inclined to admit that there some
truth in the old adage.
The Homestead and Pacific Railroad Bills were
the most important which could possibly engross
the attention of Congress the present session. and
yet political aspirants, for political ends, land
these truly useful subjects on the table to make
way for their nefarious magazines of dsunion,
which are now exploding in various portions of
the country. Every thing was made to succomb
to their ideas, their interests, their ambition, and
Notwithstanding some of the more honorable adj
mitted the greatness and Importance of the meas
ures, yet the minority were swallowed up in the
cry Of Nebraska and Slavery. By thus staving
off these enterprises, the country has been retard
ed twenty years. We fain would believe that
there is some foundation for the report that the
Homestead Bill will pass this session, but we
confess that we have not sufficient confidence in
rulers to believe that it will and if it does, it
then stands the chance of a veto from Franklin
Pierce. Still we hope, and shall work assidious-
ly towards the consummation of measure which
we hold to be of primary Importance to the
