have said that most Of the good lands ON the
rn,t .ido now subject t, private entry have been
taken by this | mean the farming lands. There
nc still vast quantities Of pine lands which cav --
had at the government prices. The cost of sci citing
and locating them, however, Is considerable, and 1t
isalso somewhat necessary to have an agent in the
territory to take of them, pay taxes, keep on
irespasscrs, &c.
Land Warrants not numerous here a. yet, nor
is there much demand for them. Eastern prices are
too high to make it profitable to buy and send them
here for sale The extra trouble and fees required
when warrants are used instcal If cash, together
with the risk attending their usc,makc them less de-
srablc here than where these things arc not known
or regarded.
The land officers in this vicinity very rarticu-
lar that all warrants perfect, that the assign
mcnts are correct TO II letter, aud it an agent acts,
that tho power Of attorney is strictly and literally
as 1t should be- Besides there must be an actual
inspection of the land sought to be entered and
affidavit furnished that no person has settled upon,
or improved it. These arc some of the matters that
influence the price of land warrants here.
Our crops arc much better than expected
from their Appearances some time ago. Tho late
rains, which have been numerous, have brought
them forward wonderfully, and we can rely
upon good returns. Farmers are already busy en-
gagged in harvesting their wheat and oats The
straw in all that have observed seems very short
but the head is well filled and the kernel plump
Corn and potatoes both especially promising. We
had green corn for table use nearly month ago.
Our rain storms usually accompanied by heavy
thunder and such lightning "a | never saw else
where. The entire heavens seem continual
canopy of fame. There separate flashes,
but the whole sky is lighted at once. We have not
had n storm Of any amount that did not come in
the night and in which the lightning did not strike
one or more buildings in St. Paul. No one has
capcs. Most of the houses are protected by rods,
and none of them have been struck A fact worthy
Of notice.
There is beginning to be some talk about railroads
in the Territory, and engineer. arc expected soon
to locate the Minnesota and North Western road,
extending from Dubuque, via st. Paul to Lake SUI
peror, but whether anything will be done at pres
cnt,is matter Of considerable doubt, ut least in the
mind of your humble servant. 7.

papers that Tom Hendricks, the Ex-mcmbcr
of Congress from this district, has Just re-
ceived from the hands of our rro-slavery adj
ministratiOn the appointment Of Commits
sioner of the Land Office. This is his COM
pensation for the treason perpctratcd against
his constituents in his vote for annulling the
Missouri Compromise. The scathing rebukc
administered to him by the people of his dis
trict, who by thousands branded him as a
traitor, is met by the President of the United
States with a contemItuous defiance Of their
will, by appointing him to one of the most
lucrative Offices within his gifts. And this
kind of policy is called democratic And
those who enact it claim to be special friends
of the people, and Of the democratic doctrine
that the people shall rule.

Long as this title page is, it gives the
reader but an imperfect notion of the
exceeding copouSncss Of the volume to which
it belongs In this land of railroads, n work
of this sort must be needed by the profess
sion.
We believe the original work is one of
high reputation as the best treatise on the
subject in England. An American edition,
to be of essential service, should be enriched
with proper references to late English and
American statutes and decisions. That work
has been ably done by Judge Bennett, whose
reputation as an able lawyer, and learned
Judge is extensive in our country. A very
important portion of tho present volume CON
sists of additions from his pen. Tho work is
brought out in good style by the publisher

1t contains an Index to the railroads in tho

raj routes and to the special routes, with tho
various connexions made between them and
with stage and steamboat lines. The ar

execution is good, and the book contains II
large map of the United States and Canada,
on which tho finished and partly completed
railroads are laid down In few cases we
notice roads marked as incomplete, which are
in running order for their entire length.
Some defects Of that sort are unavoidable in
