The New Settlements North of 81. Paul.

1uo new ScttlementS NOrtn Oh 81 raul
We have frequently advcrted to the excel
lent farming country North of st. Paul in the
vicinity of the Rice Lakes. and extending along
the Sunrise river A gentleman who was one
of the first to locate in that ncighborhood, in
formed us yesterday that since last fall, up
wards of eleven thousand acres of land have
been entered by actual settlers in towns 80 and
33 range 81. and in town 81 range %. Alarge
majority of those who made these entries are
now upon their lands, and the remainder are
only absent until such time as they can have
tenements prepared to receive their families.
Philadelphia colony that came out this sea-
son. under charge Of DR.. Comfort. is located in
town 33, range Fl. The members Of the colony
are highly pleased with their new homes. They
are now busily engaged in building. breaking
land, and attending to other improvements in
cident to the establishment of homes in their
new place of residence.
There is plenty of good land to be had in
this neighborhood yet at government rates.
The soil is excellent; we'll watered by lakes
and running streams, and agreeably diversified
by prairie, timber and meadow lands. The
fact of its being directly upon the line of the
new road from St. Paul to Lake Superior, must
of course afford market facilities not to be met
with in all parts Of the Territory. Those who
wish to make an exploration out that way, will
find good stopping places some twenty miles
from the city, and beyond.

The Cars at Dunleith.

We learn from the Galena Advertiser of Fri
day last, that the Railroad track between Ga
lena and Duleith was connected the day previ-
Gus, and that the regular trains were to COM
mence running to the latter point on Monday
of this week. The last Monday evening up
packet-which in all probability was the War
Eagle. owing to her detention aground going
down the last trip-would be the first boat to
receive passengers at Dunleith, if the cars came
through on that day. The packets will now
leave Dunleith at the same hour they have been
in the habit of leaving Galena.
The Advertiser speaks of the event, in Ga
lena point of view, as following: 1--WE have
now two splendid roads out of Galena, west
ward, one by the River, and the other by the
Illinois Central Heretofore We have had but
one. The latter will be of great service to the
city, as we'll as the former, as will be abund-
antly proven on trial. A town never suffers
in prosperity from the great number of good
roads of which it is the centre, like Galena.'

The steamer Ahambra is now placed in the
packet line as one of the regular boats, and
left Galcna last Saturday evening under the
command of Capt. Gabert. an old steamboat
man, well acquainted with his business, and a
gentleman withal who would on all occasions
wish to accommodate persons and places with
whom he is brought into business intercourse

a mail, with the exception of the Galcna bag
He informs US that he was at Dubuque during
the night of Saturday. lie was unable to get
into the 'harbor" on account of wind and low
water; but he landed his boat where other boats
land, on the outer shore of the main island, and
went himself into town to attend to the bust
ness of the trip--a portion of which, of course,
was to get the mails aboard. The bags were
Post-Of1ice for them. His yawl made three trips
from the boat to tue main Shore carrying back
and forth passengers and their baggage; but
still nc mail could be ''scarcd up"

know if it is his duty to see that the nails go
aboard the boats, or is it the duty of the Off
GERS of the boats to break into his office at the
hour OF midnight in order 10 procure the bags
1t will not do to tell us that the boats, on each
trip, do not stop sufficiently long to receive the
mails. We have responsible referees in his own
city to prove the contrary While we are not
the partizans of the Galena Packets, we hap
pen to knor that the rule is strictly adopted by
the Company this season, that no Captain shall
pass Dubuque without making use of all posi-
bic efforts to get the mails aboard; and if one
of them should neglect this duty there would
be high obligations violated-higher, perhaps.
