GLENCOE, Nov. 80, 1856.
Mr.. EDIToR,-I observed in some late Nos
of the Times, reference to the Glencoe settle
ment, in connection with Roads, SC. Having
spent considerable time in this vicinity, might
render perhaps some service to those persons
DESTROYS Of visiting this beautiful Prairie, des-
tined, as fully believe it to be, one of the
most important parts of Minnesota. GLENCOE
is situated on the South Branch of Crow River,
in Township lis, Range %, west of 5th prin-
cipal meridian, IS miles from Shakopce, north
of west; 25 miles north west from Henderson
on the borders of the great prairie that extends
to the Missouri River. AS to the country
around it, can say it will compare favorabIy
with the best land in the Territory, being a
rich, alluvial soil, with generally a clay sub.
soil. A Prairie extends on one side, beauti-
full stream skirted with wood on the other, and
all over the Prairie are beautiful groves set
there apparently by the architect of nature
to beautiiy one of the loveliest tracts Of coun-
try that it has ever been the writer's privilege
to behold. These groves are principally hard
wood timber Of good size and nearly always on
the east side of a lake or natural meadow
AS to roads we have none. We follow the
trail from Fort Smelling to Fort Ridgely, on
the most direct practicable route. We are in
hopes to have direct roads by next spring.
might with propriety say to persons coming to
explore this country, that as yet there is no
one horse tavern to stake them in" hence they
had better provide themselves with provision
and camp fixtures, and when mig hit comes they
are better off than those who take the chances
for lodging III six by nine cabin. There is
such rush Of persons that the few settlers al
ready here cannot accommodate the half that
comes, but in this particular We expect better
things, as Boarding House is being built and
We trust will ere long be completed.

clude those running on the Minnesota river
The regular packets usually brought from five
to six hundred passengers per trip, but putting
the average Of each boat at 200 (Which we
think is a low estimate) and the 4O6 boats
could not have brought less than 81 200 per-

the enormous sum Of 1858 400. more than half

then we must have added $1,000 inhabitants TO

THE VALLEY OF THE SUNRISE.

SuSRIsE, Nov. 90, 1856.
Mr.. EDIroR.-As I learn that you would be
glad to hear from all parts of the Territory, !
have jotted down few items from this section
Of country.
The land embraced within the Valley Of the
Sunrise, is a region Of country about twenty
miles wide by fifty in length, commencing
twenty miles north Of ST. Paul, and extending
north to where Sunrise empties its waters into
the St. Croix river. The land is of the first
quality for farming purposes, and the tide OF
emigration is tending rapidly to that country,
from N. Y, Penn, and other States. The
settlers are intelligent and enteprising citizens.
The land is about one-fourth fine, rolling
praircs, two-four:hs oak openings, with the
other one.four,h of good timber, with beautiful
lakes Of pure water, scattered here and there,
in which can be found fish Of delicious favor.
The whole country abounds with game for the
hunter, from the stately light-looted deer, down
to the squirrel and partridge, so common in the
Eastern States. The sparkling waters Of the
Sunrise affords abundance of water-power at
different points, for mills and manufacturing
purposes, without the expense of steam, and is
within days drive Of one Of the best markets
in the world, for every article the farmer can
raise. This market is the inexhauslible pine
ries of tie upper St. Croix river. / am Of the
opinion, that a farmer, with capital Of $4,000,
can make more money farming any where in
the Valley Of the Sunrise, than the same farm
er can with $4,000 in any State east of Hi
nos, between Maine and Georgia. These
things being so, with climate free from the
malarious diseases Of the Middle and South
ern States, it certainly is the country for the
enterprising emigrant to settle in. Farming
lands in this vicinity will soon be worth from
$40 10 $50 per acre. Through this Valley,
the great Lake Superior and St. Paul Railroad
is to run, and will probably be completed in
two years from the coming summer, affording
facilities for travelling from the East, West,
North or South, equal 10 any in the older
States. Lands al this time can be secured at
a nominal price, but they must increase as set
tiers come in. For one, l have concluded to
pitch my tent on this camp ground, believing
it will reward me for whatever trouble may
be to. Yours, L.

DAILY REPuDLIcAN.-This is the title Of a

"In Politics, as its name denotes, the ' Re.
publican" will be an earnest advocate, defend
er and dsseminator Of the principles of the
Republican party. Its tone upon the great
and vexed questions Of the day, will be bold,
firm and unequivocal. Regarding Slavery as
it exists in the States as local institution, for
which we Of the North are not responsible, and
over which we can exercise no control, the
" Republican" will not seek to NEEDLE with it
there but, at the same time, regarding Slave.
ry as a moral and social evil Of the blacklist
dye, it will firmly and TO its utmost strength
resist its introduction into any Territory now
free, holding fast to the doctrines taught by the
Fathers Of the Republic, and laid down in the
Ordinance Of 1887, and to the motto, No
more Slave States, no more Slave Territories.
The paper is well edited and well printed.
