.EE- The new partner in the Minnesotian
announced in Mondays daily, takes the pres
ent occasion to say to the people ofMnnesota
that he comes to this country to earn liycli-
hood for himself and family and to make home
and a permanent residence among them. This
he does not expect to find without personal eff
fort. The most he hoped to do in coming to
the territory was to find better field, a health
icr and more uniform climate in which to la.
Dor in some respectable and useful pursuit.
He was prepared to find, and to put up with
some disadvantages, and if need be depriva-
tions. such as..arc sure to be experienced in a
newly settled country. He finds, however,
more of the comforts, and less of deprivations,
than might reasonably have been anticipated.
Society generally, is excellent there is whole
some state of public morals, good schools,
and much of kindness and lberality among
the people, who are equally characterised for
public spirit and active enterprise. The soil is
rich, deep and productive, the climate salub-
rious and delightful, eminently suited to our
Northern people. The country is we'll water
cd by rivers lakes, and springs, the principal
rivers being navgable through the very heart
of the Territory, by large and splendid steam
ers,which arc under the command of as able and
accommodating gentlemen, as ever trod the
deck of our Eastern steamers
Thus. the reader will see. that we come cx-
pccting to better our condition, and from our
own showing. five fail to do so, the faul: will
not be in the country so much as in ourselves
or in bad fortune. We have fixed upon st. Paul
as our place ofresidenec where we hope by in
dustry and prompt attention to business, to be
able to make permanent abode.
One word to our Eastern friends. We shall
take particular pains to keep them posted up
upon the local news of the East, and to supply
them with such information as shall be of SER
vice to them concerning this country. We
shall have general supply of Eastern papers,
from which to extract the news in that quarter
and the papers will be preserved in the Office
for the perusal of any who may desire to ex-
anime them. We hope at least. to receive the
calls of all of the Maine Boys, whenever they
are in the city.

Prom Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, Nav Il.

The financial barometer has pointed towards
fair weather" for day or two past. Several
bright streaks Of sunshine have appeared thro'
the clouds that have hung over Wall street so
long, and there are evident signs of partial
clearing up. if not permanent one. The re-
turns show an advance in the deposits, specie,
loans, and circulation, of nearly half million
in each item. Two California steamers have
arrived, bringing two millions and half in
goid dust, and more encouraging news from the
mining interests. We noticed that several of
our friends, who are inveterate croakers, came
down this morning with white hats and sum
mer Sravats on, and ,rithout umbrellas De-
eidedly the times are getting brighter.

The Louisville Journal, Of the 9th saws of
the weather and crops South:
"Our Alabama, Mississippi. and Georgia ex-
changes all speak of the great damage done to
the growing crops of cotton and corn by the
late frosts. Some are of the opinion that the
damage is so great that the price of cotton
ought to be advanced one cent per pound. It
has been more severe in North Alabama than
any other region"

st. Anthony Items.

We copy the following items of local news
from the last st. Anthony Express: -
tits estimated that two thousand people have
arrived in the Territory the present week by
water and land carriage. The immigration has
now fairly commenced. and may be expected
to continue undiminished for the next three
months
J.. c. Walker has been appointed Postmaster
at this place-a good appointment ; and VIC are
assured that our postal matters will be hereaf-
ter attended to with the strictcst promptitude,
and every effort to oblige, consistent with the
duties of the Office.
THE FIRST RAIIRoAD.-The first railroad in
Minnesota is about to be erected on Nicollet is
land. twill be eight hundred feet in length,
and will be equipped with car to run con-
stantly between its two termini. St. Anthony
enterprise is certainly beginning to wake up.
The Falls, having assumed their summer
dress, will be at hOmc," ready to receive COM
pany the balance of the season. We are happy
to state that the immense jam of logs that have
so long dsfgured the beauty of the cataract,
will probably be removed the present season,
a. Godfrey. Esq, being now engaged in nego-
ciatng for the same, preparatory to their re-
moval.
We understand that NJ. ". Keith, ESQ.,, has
sold out his lease of the ST. Charles hotel, to
Mr.. Bushnell. late of Madison, Wisconsin. Mr..
B. is said to be most favorably known as a po-
lite and accommodating host, and we have no
doubt but that the reputation of the st. Charles
will be fully sustained under his management
We omitted to state that DR.. Amcs informed
us on his recent return from Illinois. that in an
interview with Gov Matteson, he informed him
that he with many other citizens of Illinois
were making arrangements for visit to Min
nesota the coming summer. One or two steam
boats would be chartered to accommodate the
large number who propose making the trip.
All right-"Let them come. repeat it. sir, let
them comet" They shall meet cordial Min
ncsota welcome, and as good cheer and accom-
mediation as we miserable denizcns Of this by
pcrborcan desolate region can afford.
The immense stage loads Of strangers brought
daily into our village, exceeds anything before
seen at this season since the settlement of the
place. Not unfrcquently those large and splen-
did coaches of Willoughby & Powers, or Patti
son & Benson, come up six or eight times day,
loaded to their utmost capacity with admiring
passengers, who are delighted with the country.
Still, however, there is room "for a few more
of the same sort.'
