ST. PETERS CITY.

This place occupies section 81 town ITO, range
26, on the Minnesota river, and is IS miles from
St. Paul by land, and l25 miles by water. AS it
home and abroad, propose through the columns
of the TINES, to present from time to time brief
views of the real advantages it possesses and
which collectively considered giveit prominence
above all surrounding competitors. ~
LIST. Its geographic position. Casting the eye
upon the map you will perceive that it occupies
central point in the southern portion of this Ter
ritory, some GO or 20 miles from the Iowa line,
and out of the reach of the unfavorablc inAu-
cnces that St. Paul or St. Anthony must exert
over towns and cities within 80 to so miles of
their locality. The western portion of this Ter
ritory is the finest agricultural country we have
seen, and is in close proximity to lands being
rapidly settled in northern Iowa, and beyond per-
adventure will be first fully occupied for farming
purposes. IL this be so, the various trades and
professions and branches of industry will be rep
resented, and long before we shall become State,
that portion Of our land will be dotted over with
cabins and cottages, and villages and towns, hold
ing within themselves the majority of the popular
SoNVIciSuty poWcE VI tHc IouS
We must fix the point for the permanent location
of the Capitol of the State of Minnesota to be.
When that time arrives the influence of the in
habitants of Minnesota valley will be very great,
and cannot fail to influence, materially the ques-
ton of location, in fact without perfect unanim-
ity of feeling and action between st. Paul, St.
Anthony and Saltwater, they will, have the potcer
to accomplish any grand aim they may have at
heart.
The question naturally arises, will the new
State be taken off from the eastern or southern
portion Of the present Territory? And where will
be the probable new boundary lines {? 1t is obvi-
GUS that an answer to the above queries must be
intirey speculative, nevertheless, shall venture
to offer an opinion, for any to adopt reject,
as 1t may influence his best judgment. 1t seems
to me there can be no doubt but the new State
will be cut out of the southern portion of the
Territory, and the northern boundary line will be
at or near latitude 45e 30(, running east and
west about as far north as Sank Rapids. This
would be the natural result, whatever may in fact
be the final one, growing out of opposing forces
and interests.

MONEY MARKET.

At no time since January last has the money
market been tighter than at present, and during
the last 10 days, Notwithstanding large amounts
have recently been received in drafts and current
bank notes from the east. i"i
This stringency may be accounted for, in part,
from the fact, that the merchants going to pur-
chase their spring and summer stocks of mer-
chandise, are carrying away every thing in the
shape of funds that can be distracted by any
honorable process from the pockets of their cred
itors or the money lenders.
If the concurrent testimony of our own we'll
informed citizens who have recently been abroad
and who are in correspondence with persons re-
siding in different sections of the United States,
will be unprecedented, not only of spectators,
but of the men who constitute the bone and sim
new Of our countryside agriculturalists.
Each man who comes here brings more or less
money with him, and it may be safely noted
down in your memorandum books as fact, that
at least S. 900, 900 will be added to the substan
tial wealth of Minnesota this season, besides the
infinitely more valuable mental power and physi-
cal strength of the actual Settlers who, in subse-
quent years will reproduce in the yearly round
their uncounted millions.
The result must be, even though my estimate is
too large, that after the Goth of April next, mon
ey in this market will be more plenty, and will
continue to increase in abundance into August,
when depletion will commence through the pay
ment of outside indebtedness.
On the whole then, what have we before US,
but a prosperous futurc-she necessary sequence
of fine climate, rich lands, agricultural success,
indomitable energy, speculation, enterprise, &c.
&c., uncqualled in the Great North West. The
man of Industrious habits and good moral char
acter as his capital, has only to come and settle
in this fair land for life, to find himself if the
thing is possible anywhere, like Enoch of old,
when the time comes, translated directly to
heaven.

REAL ESTATE.

Real Estate matters are assuming as lively an
aspect as can be expected in the present strngen-
cy of the moncymarket.
Some few forced sales have been made for
cash but generally the terms of payment require
only part in hand and the remainder in one, two
and three years time, at low rates of interest.
A tract of land of 120 acres adjoining the
city limits, was sold yesterday for $23, 900.
There have been some transactions in city prop
erty, and these continue to preserve their dstinc-
tive character of cash sales, and indicate an al
most geometrical progression Of value since last
fall. Pending the passage of the celebrated bill
for cutting Ramsey County into pieces, and erect
ing St. Anthony into county seat-property in
that ourshing village is said to have risen rapid
ly with every stage of its progress through the
two houses, and lots near the prospective Court
House rose so per cent. the day the bill passed
the Council. - ~rr~-
We have had no squotations" from there since
the gubernatorial veto, except from the speeches
made up there in commemoration of that act of
executive clemency. ~ o.. 7et,9g sa,se.F .5
