Territorial Items.
FROM THE ST. ANTHONY REPUBLICAN.

STILL THEY CoxE.-The migratory tide still
sets strongly up the Mississippi, and the differ
ent sections of the Territory are receiving an
accession of population which almost justiies
the prediction that this year will double the
number of inhabitants in the Territory. The
Crow river country is fast filling up from above
the forks To the mouth and the claims along
the route from Crystal Lake to Buckeye Set
tiement are all taken, even in the thickest of
the Big Woods. The Sank Rapids Frontier
man rejoiccs in the rapidly growing population
of that region, and the WinOna Argus-twO
hundred miles in the opposite dircction-can
see hardly anything with its hundred eyes but
strangers strangers strangers. The st. Pe
ier's Courier tells similar story, and the st.
Paul papers are full of establishment to see how
soon QUO city full of guests take leave and
make way for another. Never was there
year when the newcomers were SO ready TO
push back into the interior. In this they are
wise for the larger the amount OF land put
under cultivation, the easier time we shall have
~ getting through with another winter. Tn
less our merchants take comprehensive view
Of the case, and greatly increase the magn-
tude and number of their orders for groceries
and provisions, We shall see tight times before
harvest comes IN.
