What 81. Paul Greatly Needs In the WAY Of
Manufacturinx


Manufacturing.
There are many branches of manufacture
which have been too long neglected IN St
Paul, and which it would greatly faciltat,
the ends of business to have carried OF
here.
We want a carriage and wagon manufac
tory on an extensive scale. We have two OF
three small ones already, but nothing that
nearly equals the demand. The number Of
travelling vehicles which are annually import
ed and sold here, amounts to more than five
hundred times the number that is manufac-
tured among us. The profits annually car
ried from the pockets of our citizens by the
coach, carriage, sleigh and wagon manufac-
tuterers.of Concord, Troy, Skaneatles, Chi
cago, &C., would put large mandatory in
operation, and workits machinery and hum
dred hands for a twelvemonth. Nobody
walks here-everybody rides. 1t would be
a prime movement for man or company
possessing the requisite capital to go into
this business. Timber of the best kind and
all other facilities are close at hand.
In connection with this, we should have
an extensive agricultural implement manu-
factory; also an axe factory.
We want a paper mill. The demand in
the Territory for paper of all kinds would
more than keep an extensive mill in opera
ton. All the requisite facilities for manu-
factory of this character are also here in the
greatest and purest abundance-water pow
er, fine clear water, &c.
We want an extensive oak cooperage, and
also bucket and tub mandatory. Flour
and other dry barrels and casks, as we'll as
tight casks of oak, are in daily dtmand. In
a year or two, pork and beef barrels will be
greatly needed for packing. Timber of the
right kind for slaves and hoops is here in
great abundance. Also, for the other branch
of the trade, we have plenty of white pine
and white and red cedar.
We want cotton batting factory. Some
thousands of bales of cotton come up the
Mississippi to us annually, already manufac-
tured into batting. Why not bring up the
raw material and manufacture it here as we'll
and save the profits
These are but 1.-THE of the branches of
manufacture which, if started rightly in St.
Paul, would pay handsome profit from the
beginning. We hope this brief allusion to
practical facts will reach the eye of capital
lists abroad who are acquainted with these
departments of business, and that some of
them will not be slow to Look over the
ground. We guarantee them sure success if
they understood their business and manage
it properly.

The Territorial Prison.

We dropped into tbs Constitution " da,
or two ago, and gathered some facts tina
may interest some of our readers.
A new building, during the past season
has been erected, at a cost of something Owe
80, 900. At the earnest solicitation of Hon
Ii. NJ. Rice, Uncle Sam furnished the where
withal. A nice old fellow, is Uncle Sam
isn't he?
Within the shop buildings is a great va
rlety OF machinery and in nearly every
instance, steam is the motive power. Accom-
panied by Mr.. Delano, the gentlemanly War.
den, we passed through several departments
OF the building, and saw some Of the ma
chlnery in motion. Many kinds of work
are here performed by machinery. Window
SASH are principally made by machinery.
FLOORING is planned, tongued and grooved by
machinery. Shingles are made by machin-
ery-so are felloes and spokes for wagon
wheels. Large sticks of hard timber are
planned, in the twinkling of an eye, by ma
chinery. Holes in iron are drilled by ma
chinery, and dull tools are ground by ma
chlnery. Circular saws are turned until
they buzz worse than top, and make the
spectator dizzy, by machinery, and joints
and lemons are made by machinery. Indeed,
Delano & Co., do all they do by machinery,
except eating and sleeping.
We believe we have before stated that the
penitentiary buildings have been erected by
the Government but the machinery thereof
is the individual property of the Warden and
others; and is worth $4,000. Connected
with, and belonging to the penitentary, is a
hose, and other apparatus, for throwing
water upon the surrounding buildings should
they ever be set on fire.
One large cross-cut saw, engaged in saw
ing logs into suitable pieces for shingles, we
must notice. The machinery to which it is
attached, is so constructed and adjusted as
to give the saw horizontal motion. We
were told that, one day last summer, an
lrishman having at least three sheets in the
wind, visited the penitentiary, and in stroll
ing around he unknowingly backed up against
the cross-cut saw aforesaid. Without any
ceremony whatever, it punched him in the
back time or two, whereat he yelled out
that Know Nothing was "a batin NV" him,
and implored the by-standers to take him
off, or shy St. Patrick he would be kilt by
bloody Know Nothing" Ever since the
saw has been called Know Nothing. 1t is
said to be the only X. N. about the institu-
ton, but that is doubtful.
At this present writing there is but one
convict in the penitentiary, and he seemed
to do his work more leisurely than any other
operative whom we saw employed. Had not
one side of his head been shaved we should
not have known that he was convict. Nor
would lawyer Parker.-&. Croir Union.

WINoNA-The Republican gives the en-
tire number of dwellings IN that town and
on the prairie at l66, of which los have been
erected since May last. These dwellingsare
inhabited by Sl3 souls-men, women and
children. The editor remarks:
off with all the drawbacks of proprietor
dissensions and opposing interests our Town
has had such increase in six months, we may
look forward with the most justifiable ex-
pectation that, ere another summer closes
on us, we shall number population of 5000
souls at least. We venture prediction
that our census will not fall short of that,
before December, 1856, is upon U.S."
ANOTHER SPEC OF WAR.-A few days
ago, after the marriage of Mr.. Meagher, the
following proclamation appeared in the Bos-
ton Atlas:
Follow the example of the patriot Meagher,
and rush to arms! Become at once united
Irishmen!
P. S.-The London Times will please

MURDERER AT LARGE. The Michigan
City Enterprise says: A murderer is roam.
ing at large, we understand, in the vicinity
of Lake Station. For some cause, he killed
his father. He is said to be well armed, and
is accompanied by ferocious dog. Parties
of men are in pursuit of him, although from
his reported desperate character, few appear
willing to confront him." This is probably
the wretch Vrooman, who recently shot hi
father near Gibson Station, on the Contra
Road.
