"Mr. Washburne has mo doubt made hi.

Dubuque Herald.
This is what the Herald says in reply to our
remarks, published on the 9Th instant, vindicat
ing Mr. Washburne from the charge of opposi-
tion in Congress to the interests of Minnesota
We again say to the Herald, it is grossly de-
ceived. 1t need only go to the record of the
last Territorial week in Congress to become
convinced ofthis fact. But if the editor wishes
to go behind the record, we are ready for him
even there. Mr.. Washburnc's course, publicly
and privately, upon the Minnesota Railroad
Bill, which was before the House on the 9th
the very day we here in st. Paul vindicated
him from unjust suspcions-is not only salts
factory to epery citizen Of Minnesota then at
the capital, but in the highest degree commend
able. 1t also meets the entire appreciation of
the very men whom we think the Herald is try
ing to indirectly please by abusing him. The
Herald will please understand that we have the
documents to prove what we assert, and it may
as we'll give up all further controversy upon
the subject.
ADDITIONAL. NAH. SERVICE TO MISyEsUTA.--
Under this head. the Galena Advertiser of Mon
day makes the following statement. While we
have no right to set up as judges of the merits
OF the quarrel between Galcna and Dubuque,
we can say, from what We have heard from,
other sources, that the statement is correct, so
far as regards the action of the Department at
Washington. What influence it was that de-
termincd Mr.. Campbell to treat us so unjustly-
we know nothing Of beyond what is here charg-
cd. We do know, however, that Mr.. Rice, Mr..
Washburne, and other Northwestern men at
Washington, have done their utmost in the
premises, and if they have failed, the blame
rests not with them: -
"The efforts of Mr.. Rice, of Minnesota and
Mr.. Washburne, of this district to get addition
al mail service for our Minnesota friends, have
failed, by reason of some unseen influence, but
which We think may be readily understood
now carry the mail to ST. Paul for the small
pittance of fifty dollars for the round trip, and
they offer to carry it six times a week for the
same pr0 rata pay. That, we undertake to say
is the cheapest mail service in the United
States, and yet, some two hundred thousand
people arc only allowed tri-weckiy mail on
the pretcnce, that it would cost the Depart
ment one hu dred and fifty dollars per ,ccek
additional, to give them daily mail The pre-
text is contemplate, and only to hide the real
motive. 1t appears that the Post Office De-
partmcnt is no longer welded for the public
good, but as means of gratifying favoritc DEM
ocratic interests. and pandcring to private and
local resentments. The removal of the Distri-
buting Post Office TO Dubuque, which has de-
ranged the whole mail service of this part of
the country. is proof of this. Political and To-
cal grudges are now to be fed fat by punish
ing the Minnesota people for not doing their
business at Dubuque, and the Postmaster Gen
cral refuses to give them mail but three times
a week. We think the people OfMinnesota will
understand this
". Among arrivals home of st. Paul cti-
zcns since our last, we notice that of Capt.
Alex. Wilkin, who has been absent at the East
since March.
PLEAsANTEIEs IN CONGEEss.-In the House of
and Mr.. SMITH, of Virginia. each arose to per-
sonal explanation, in the course of which Mr..
GIDDINGS accused Mr.. SMITH of rcsorting to
falschood, and having fabricated misrcpresen-
tatons in his sterile brain" Mr. SMITH, in re-
turn, said that Mr.. GIDDINGs FUSED language
not in the vocabulary of gentlemen. but such as
only could be learned by association with free
negroes Their entertainment lasted just
two hours, for which Uncle Samuel paid about
$4,000!
THE GOVERNOR OF UTAH.-Thc way Gov.
Young of Utah keeps his subjects in order
and makes them attend to their business, would
be caution to the "lazy landless' the Pio-
neer was speaking OF last week. Here is his
last proclamation:
HEAR YE ALL YE INHABITANTS OF UTAH TER
RITORY.-As the elements are again favorable
for field duties. in plowing sowing and plant
ing, it is highly desirable. and earnestly con-
coded, by the best experience and judgment in
our possession, that every person in our differ
ent settlements, now begin, and continue to use
all reasonable individual excrtion to raise all

smallest garden spot, and single animal, that
nothing be overlooked, or neglected in attain
ing the desired object. 1t will also be necessa-
ry to put the fences in suitable condition to
protect the crops, that our expectations be not
destroyed, nor our labor expended for naueht.
1t is also advisable, to begin this season to
build store houses, in which to preserve all the
surplus grain; that We may be able to supply
the demand which will be made upon us for
provisions to support the labOrcrs on the Pa
cifc Railroad. Herein is wisdom, therefore,
pay attention. BRIGHAM YOUNG.

this region, but fplumagc almost equal to any
