kind!
Touching the stale snccrs at Gov. Ramsey in
the above, he and his friends can well afford to
pass them by, after what has transpired here and
at Washington the past ten months
Tremendous Excite n,cnt on the Nebraska Bill.
We have the New York Daily Tribune Of the
9th containing Mondays proceedings in the
House upon the Nebraska bill. All other bus-
ness was laid aside, and the bill taken mp in
committee of the whole, by vote of 100 to sS.
The most intense excitement ensued, and the
ultra opponents of the measure are talking of
withdrawing from the House, rather than let
it pass, and thus leave that body ,cithom a
quorum. The Tribune recommends this course
in the following decided language:
1fa positive majority are blindly bent ON
this fatal and iHsensate act, there remains but
one expcdicnt. and that is to resort to the ex-
tremc rights OF the minority of the House.
We have no doubts and no hesitation in ex-
pressing our fixed Judgment that this is the
proper occasion for the exercise of those rights
The time Of argument and appeal is past
Action alone remains. Let it be shown that
there is North that refuses to be trampcd
upon.
E:'- The reinauguration of the Crystal Pa
lace, on the 4th, appears to have been great
affair. The speakers were p. r. Barnum, Ho-
race Greeley, II. Ward Beecher, and several
other leading men of New York and vicinity.
In TOwN.-On Saturday, We had the privilege
Of again seeing the familiar faces of many Of
our old Sioux ncighbors, including Little Crow,
Little Six GixD alias Shakopce, and old Betsy
They had business with the Government Off
GERS. Betsy says she is now ,chite is living as
white people. practising her long education re-
ceived in and about st. Paul, and trading as
white trader with the more rude and untutorcd
redskins of the distant Western bands. skin
ming" them, no doubt She was always good at
that.
sIs- The attention of stock-brccdcrs and
farmers is called to the advertisement of the
Mcssrs. Hopkins. There is no reason why we
should not produce in Minnesota just as fine
horses as in any other part of the Union; and
the thoroughbred animal which these gentle
men have, at much expense, introduced into
the Territory, is we'll worth the attention of
those who arc interested in the matter.
New Boar FOR THE MINNEsoTA.--Thc little
steamer Sangamon arrived yesterday. and con-
templates entering the Minnesota river trade,
She is small sized sidc-whccl craft, but strong
and well built and with ample power to render
her a fast traveller. We have 10 doubt she will
prove valuable addition to the trade.
70 The steamer New st. Paul arrived from
st. Louis yesterday. Capt. Bissel informs us
that with the present prospect of water on the
Lower Rapids, there is no use attempting to
form daily line of boats regularly between ST.
Louis and Galcna; consequently, so far as he is
concerned, he has abandoned that particlar
trade, and will run through to St. Paul the re-
mainder of the season. This will be welcome
Paul and her accommodating officers. The
Admiral left St. Lous the same day with the
st. Paul. and may he hourly looked for.
DAILY TrMEs.-This paper made its entrcc
yesterday morning into the public circle. 1t is
very neatly printed and well filled sheet,
Whg in politics, and edited with commendablc
industry and fair ability. We have strong
hopes that The Times will prove valuable aux
iliary to the local press of thc Territory, and
materially lIelp forward the ultimate success of
the Wig cause therein. We wish the Times
and its conductors many days ofprospcrity and
usefulness.
nS- We arc indebted to Parker Paine, Esq,
late o: Skowhcgan, Maine, for copy Of the New
York Tribune two days later than received by
mail. Mr.. Paine as will be recollectcd visited
Minnesota last fall. He now comes with his
family. to reside among us, and will prove a
valuable acquisition to the solid men Of 81.
Paul.
LATEST FoEErGS NEws.-Telcgraphic des-
patches to the Galena papers mention the arri
val of the Canada at Halifax, on the 10th. She
brings no intelligence Of the missing steamer.
