in improving it, although the Jury believe that
small farm properly located for the poor would
be JudIclous measure. In looking at this
transaction, the Jury cannot but think, that it
was case of gross favoriteism, and that the
best interests Of the county were not consulted
The Jury are also of opinion that the school
lands belonging to the county, situated in the
pineries northwest of us have not heretofore
been sliilfully managed. The expenses thus
far have been more than all the revenue de-
rived thcrelrom.
"All tax payers are Interested in the Judi
ciouS management Of the fiscal affairs of the
county, and we have deemed it our duty to call
public attention to the matter, that the proper
corrective may be applied
" The Jury have examined the county prison
and are pleased TO say it is without an occu-
pant Our predecessors in their reports have
pronounced the building a nuisance, in which
reports we fully concur, and would advise the
County Commissioners to proceed promptly in
the erection OF new prison proposed by them
in which it is recommended that all the modern
Improvements in vcntillating and heating, con-
sisent with a proper economy, be introduced
that it be made fire proof if possible, and of an
ornamented exterior.
"The Jury would advise that tie square
upon which the Courthouse is erected, be en-.
closed in substantial board fence that sheds
be erected for the storage of fuel, and that the
wood, rubbish and lumber, that now cucumber
the Courthouse be removed.
"They would also recommend that suf1i.
clcnt number Of fire proof safes be provided to
secure all the county records, deeds, &C., from
possible loss. And farther, that they be KEEP
therein unless when in use.
"All Of which is respectfully submitted.

THE LAND Substituting from the in
formation received from Washington, there is
probability that most Of the lands offered for
sale will be withdrawn. 1t should be born in
mind that Mr.. MARSHALL was among the first
to raise his voice and influence against the sale,
while Henry NJ. Rice was the first to urge that
the lands should come into market And re-
member, he urged the sale on the plea i" that
he thought the people wanted the sales to come
off" The settlers all through this Territory
can see how fit Nj. Rice is to represent them
in the Halls of Congress.

MANKATo.-ln our article relative TO this
place, we had not space to speak Of the rich
ness and proIuctivcncss of the soil. We visited
the farm of Z. Howe, Sheriff Of Blue Earth
County, about one mile from Mankato proper,
and were surprised at the excellent crops thcrc-
on. We saw field of twelve row yellow flint
corn, which was planted on the 1st Of June,
and which was the finest field visible in the
Valley. The seed for this corn came from Col
II. Messchcrt, Of Philadelphia, through the
hands of the well known Land Dealer of this
city, Henry McKcn,y, Esq. The stock was
over IA feet high, and feet to the basc of the
ear. The corn itself was full and very beau
tiiul, and the general run of the field was cx-
ceedingly even. Mr.. Howe thinks that this
corn will be great favorite among the farm
ers In that region. In the same field we were
shown a watermelon vine, from one seed,
which measured 36 feet and vines from the
same stock. covered an area of 246 feet. On
these vines there were "a melons, the average
weight Of which was Is pounds, and the total
weight of all, 432 pounds. We were also
shown bcet which measured % 3-4 inches in
circumference. Also a ruta lago, measuring
two feet 10 inches. Also strawberry vine in
full bloom, thorn apples, large tomatoes, cabba-
ges, beans, Sc, sc. Whoever supposes that the
Minnesota Valley is not one Of the richest and
most prolific Of any portion Of our Territory,
knows but little Of the resources Of this section
of Minnesota. Our friend. Henry McKenty,
has laid out town here, and as it is beautiful
situation, we predict for it great prosperity. We

70 ii. NJ. Rice's Connection with the Land sales
- and the Removal Of the Winnebasoes. -zsE
The following letter from gentleman in Wash
ington, is communicated to the Pioneer. 1t shows
what we have already charged Mr.. Rice with
having been guilty of, viz that of being nstru-
mental in bringing the lands into market. 1t al
so substantates the charge that Mr.. Rice gave
his influence for the removal of the Winnebagoes
to where they are now located. CT5" 'sVeritas''
says that he has the letter from Mr. Rice rec
ommending the removal of the Indians, and that
copy of said letter will soon arrive in AIinncso-
tt. 20 When this letter is published, we hope
every man in the Minnesota Valley will give it Il
careful pc, usa, and then say if he will give his
support to a candidate who has been the means
of cursing them with band of thieving Indians
WAsHINGTON CITY, Sept. IA, 1855.
Sir The Land Sales are not yet ordered to
be postponed the Commissioner is most favora-
bly, disposed to the postpOncment. and has sent
to the Secretary of the interior i strong recon-
menlation to that effect.
The Secretary of the Interior is not vet here,
but will be to night: when an interview takes
place between him. the President, and others.
which, it is believed, will result favorable to the
pos'poncmcnt.
~ rs some OF your people anticipate, Mr..
{ = Rice has been the of the sales being
~ brought on. He had urged the Government
{ y officers in the most earnest manner, as his
Gy letters here on file show, to bring on these
T. - Land Sles ut the earliest moment. On the
G5 5th April last, he wrote to the proper De-
CY partmrmt, earnestly urg ng that the Procla
lT51 nation for the sale be issued.
3 On the 2Sth of June last, from st. Paul.
Cy. he again wrote here, urging that the procla-
nation for these sales be issued Immediately :
tT7 which letters are here on file in the Office of
ET$ the Secretary of the Interior | have seen
Cgy and read them both. The Secretary of the
CS Interior in his report to the President, SAYS
t. y That these sales were proclaimed at the ur-
G ~ gent request of the Hon. ii. Nj. Rice, dele
G:V' gate from the Territory of Minnesota.
Now we shall see what the hard working set
tiers think of the conduct of Mr.. Rice. His course
has brought on more serious calamity than has
befalcn our Territory since it's orsaniza,ion.-
But he was serving the men of money and the
speculators by and through whom he expects to
force himself upon the people again.
III. NJ. RICE also recommended the Wnnebago
Indians to be located on the Minnesota, about
their present location 81 copy Of the letter will
soon arrive in Minnesota.
SO much for the Land Salcs-so much for
the Winncbagoes.
Now, if Henry VI. Rice can he elected after
the exposure of his duplicitv and second Land
specializing acts, God only knows what sort of
stuff your leople are made Of.

tiguous to large military force that will pre-
vent them from committing dcpredations upon
the Whites. A feeling Of security will be giv-
en- them, and believe will be the means OF in
ducing those now on the Missouri-those in
Wisconsin and Iowa TO return to their tribe.
In connection with this subject l will respect.
fully make the following suggestions, viz Their
annuities should be limited-by former treaties
| some of their annuites are perpetual, others
limited, and in nearly ALL money or goods, &C.,
are specifed-which is all wrong. Their old
treaties should all be annuled and new one
made-in which their annuities should be linn.
tied and their money should be expended by
the Department in making mprovemsnts-such
as opening farms, building dwellings,, purchas-
ing stock, agricultural Implements. &C., and
should be so stipulated that the President can
change their payment as they may advance in
civilization. Everything should be simplifed
as much as possible. In connection with this,
would 1t not be well to order delegation on to
this citys (unless the Commissioner can 90 out
in person.) Whatever might be done here
would satisfy the Indians-and if they can be
satisfied, hereafter the Government will have
less trouble with them. They have been for
the last three years led to believe by the various
officers in Minnesota, connected with the In
dian Department, that a new home would be
given them-and now they have little or no
confidence in any thing they hear. The i'm
mediate expense would be little more than TO
treat with them at home, yet in the end it would
be great saving. In the mean time, the tribe
could be removed to their new home in time to
plant this season. Their condition requires im-
mediate action-wlich should be prompt and
effectual, and to that end none but reliable Of.
icsrs should be entrusted to carry out the wishes
of government.
