Minnesota Exporting Wheat.

L. HERrzELL, Esq, of Point Douglass, in
forms us that in the latter part of May, a ship
ment of Two Thousand bushels Wheat was
made from that place to Saint Louis. The
Republican, Of that city speaks of a sample Of
this wheat as among the finest specimens ever
brought to that market. The winter variety
was sold at 81 60 per bushel. This is the first
large expectation of the kind we have noticed,
and it is worthy of remark on that account
Hereafter, when our rich uplands, rolling prai-
ries, and beautiful valleys, shall be brought
under cultivation by the thousands who are
continually thronging upon them, such things
will be of common occurrence, and will be
deemed hardly of sufficient Importance to war
rant the penning of paragraph. Now, how
ever, it is fact challenging the attention of
our residents, and especially of those who are
seeking locations among us for the purpose of
cultivating the soil, as it demonstrates the ca
pabilities of the country for raising the choicest
quality of this great staple of life.

Col, Benton's History:

The great work of Col. BENTON, Thirty
years in the United States Senate" is having
an immense sale. The APPLEroNs are the pub
fishers. 100000 copies have been already or
dered. BENTON first applied to the HARPERs
to publish his book, but they demanded look
at the manuscripts, and that one of their crit
les should read it. To this he demurred-
they must take it on his name OF not at all
He then sent to the APPLErcNs who at once
accepted the manuscripts, and took Ill the risk.
That pleased Old Bullion; he told them to
fix their own terms, which were more liberal
than he would have asked the HARPERs, and
beyond dchat has euer been paid to any author
IN Ameried.
The result is, that both the APPLEroSs and
BENTON, will reapa magi6cent fortune from the
work, for it will probably prove the most sale
able work ever published in America.
The Missouri Democrat adds
eve understand that the Messrs. ART Ell on have
applied to Col. BENTON, to continue writing his his
tory for their joint profit, beginning in 1910 and wr
ting down to the present commencement OF the Thir
ty Years, and continuing from the end Of the Thir
ty Years to the end Of his life The latter part Of
the proposal he is understood to have accepted

Journalism.

The sword, for centuries past, has controlled the
world. 1t will soon be entirely under command
of the pen. In America, the clergy once exerted
dominant influence; after them politicians
now the Press reigns alone. 1t has elements of
vitality that no fiat of misrule or anarchy can
destroy. The steam press sends out myriads
of damp sheets in the morning, and before they
are dry, they have become mentors to thousands.
1t unites in paragraph, and WARD walks the
earth in misery and contempt. 1t speaks
again, and Spain looks with fearful eyes on
Cuba. The Journalism of the present, is the
Sword of Progress-whOse victories are not
proclaimed by bulletins Of " killed, wound and
missing" but such as are evidenced in the gen.
orally increased intelligence of the people,
through the popularization of knowledge in
Politics, Religion, the Sciences and Arts.
Westward the star of empire takes its
way" in Journalism, as in all things else. In
all England, out of London, there is only one
daily paper. III Saint Paul, town of less
than six years growth, and city less than six
months old, there are four. A fact like this
speaks for itself, and tells tale of greater in-
port than wagon load Of sermons on the pro-
gress of the age. The visitors of the late ex-
cursion, were gratifed beyond measure with
the scenery climate and producing capabili-
ties of Minnesota; but they were astonslred
as well as delighted, when they saw four daily
papers, wearing every evidence of prosperity,
and comparing favorably with the journals
they are accustomed to read, and which are
the product of the talent and wealth of an old
civilization.
In no part of the world has Journalism pro-
duced greater results than here. The PIONEER
was established in Saint Paul when there was
not respectable building to shield its mater-
ais from the inclemencies of the weather.
Presided over by a man of uncommon capaci-
ties, it actually wrote Territory and its Cap
ital City, into being and prosperity. Other
journals followed, and the present of Saint
Paul and Minnesota, their thousands, and their
wealth and prosperity, are attributable to the
influence of the Press, more than to any other
cause. We are glad in being able to bear
witness to the approaching spirit which per-
vadss the community, in regard to the labors
and influences of our journals. We venture
to say, no other community of six thousand on
earth, possesses enterprise and generosity suf
fcient to sustain an equal number of daily pa
pers, and sustain them, TOO, Judging from our
own experience, in such way as to make the
enterprise stable and profitable.
