THE GALENA.-The Galena, Capt. Blakeley, ar
rived yesterday afternoon, after severe voyage
Of nearly six days. We learn from the Capt. that
the river is very low, and that at Winona he passed
over bar of only 20 inches of water. In con-
sequence of the detention, their ice and beef were
exhausted, and the passengers were obliged to put
up with many inconveniences it was impossible to
prevent. Notwithstanding the almost nsurmount-
able distractions which impeded the progress of
the noble steamer, yet Capt. Blakely was deter
mined to make the levee Of St. Paul, with flying
colors. He is an indomtable, persevering, care
full commander, and just the man to overcome
difficulties. We regret to learn that there were
five persons sick on board, and one dcath-a lit
tie emigrant girl.
In the morning the Galena lay on Pigs Eye
Bar, and it was thought it would be impossible to
get her off. The little steamer, Humbolt there
fore ran down to her, and brought up most of her
passengers. Shortly after the whistle of the Ga
lena announced her arrival, which was hailed
by our citizens with much pleasure. She brought
a large but not a very late mail.

MURDERS AND OUTRAGEs on TIE IsTHNCs.-The

night four of them were murdered. The next
day, on reaching Panama and going on board

No MAIL.-Up to tho time we write, one week
has elapsed since we have received mail. The
reason is the low state of the water in the Mis-
sissippi River. This is bad state of affairs, and
immediate action concerning the impediments
that obstruct navigation. A few hundred dollars,
or thousands, expended at "Pig's Eye Barr"
would be OF inestimable value to St. Paul alone,
and of equally great Importance to St. Anthony and
the towns on the Minnesota River. If Congress
won't do any thing about this matter, let private
individuals take hold of it, and push it forward.

THE SILENT WoMAN.-Madame Rignicr, the
wife of a law officer at Versailles, while talking
in the presence of numerous party, dropped
some remarks which were out Of place, though
not important. Her husband reprimanded her
before the whole company saying:
"Slcnce Madame, you are fool!!c
She lived twenty or thirty years afterwards and
never uttered single word even to her children
A pretended theft was committed in her presence,
in the hope of taking her by surprise, but without
effect, and nothing could induce her to speak.
When her consent was required for the marriage
of any Of her children, she bowed her head, and
signed the contract.

GT The crops in this Territory were never bef-
ter than this season. Corn is in a most excellent
condition, while a larger and better quality Of
wheat was never raised in Minnesota than will be
harvested this Fall. Potatoes are superior to those
in the States they of most luxuriant growth,
and delightful for table use. There will be
heavy yield of Oats-surpassing any previous sea-
son. We feel positive that Minnesota, in few
wears, will raise more of the above articles than
she can possibly use, and in that case, she will be
able to furnish some of her neighbors below. AS
soon as our agricultural resources are made KNOWN
thousands will flock to our Territory, where now
there are only hundreds. Let them come; We
have wood enough, water enough, soil enough,
and of superior nature.

THE ISSUE.

The time draws near for the people to select
proper persons to represent them in the Legisla-
ture next Fall, and it therefore becomes every
well-wisher of the Territory to understand fully
and fairly the issue which is to be met. We want
no underhanded work, but bold front, and
steady eve. We want men of pyi.aciple, not dem
ogogues. We want lovers of justice, not perpe-
traitors of frauds. We want pure men, not case
men men in whom we can place confidence, and
by whom the interests of Minnesota will be pushed
forward. Why do we want these men? Because
it is necessary for us to wash our hands Of
the late fraud, in order to secure Il grant OF
land at the next session of Congress, and to do
this, we must elect those men who, when elected,
will come out boldly in u memorial, setting forth
that Minnesota cas not party to the gigantic
swindle, and that the people repudiatc the acts OF
those who were-that we ask for grant of land
which shall be properly secured to the Territory,
and that we humbly pray the National Legislature
to give us that grant. Unless some such course
is pursued, we may knock at the door of Congress,
but it will not be opened we may supplicate, but
it will be useless; we may beg, but the odium will
be thrown back upon with the remark, 6 You
were party to the fraud, and now suffer with your
confederates.'' We conceive this to be the only
proper mode to approach Congress, and if we do
not adopt some such system, we may rest assured
that years will elapse before we get grant of
land for railroad purposes, if we ever get one.-
Let, then, candidates who come before the people,
for their sulfrages, be pledged to memorialize
Congress and to show to the world that the people
of Minnesota had nothing to do with the fraud.
Without these pledges let no man be elected
There are no great, political issues, and there is
no necessity for stubbornly adhering to party,
particularly when question Of SO much impor-
tancc to Minnesota is now before the public. Let
the people rise up en- massc, and by their united
action drive unprincipled men back to the dcns
of infamy from whence they came. Then we can
appeal to Congress and not in vain. Then we shall
get a grant of land and not until then.

EGCS-TRAORDINARY EXCITEMENT.-Ibc Buffalo
Democracy is in receipt of the following impor-
tant dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.
Commander Hollins hearing that the traitor
Jeffards was going to leave the city by this NOR
ning's stage to the South, moored the Cyane
WI ere he could sweep the Potomac Bridge with
his guns. The men were at their quarters at
avenge the atrocious insult to our Chief Magis-
trate. A suspicion of the Commanders purpose
induced the Stage Proprietors, very improperly
as is considered here, to send the coach and its
nine passengers around by Greytown. Other
wise Hollins would unquestionably have blown
the whole concern into the Potomac. There is
great excitement here.'
We learn further, that the Marshal of the Dis
trict has issued an order prohibiting hens from
laying any more eggs until, the excitement ceases.
