New Counties-The Appertionment.

| A>eW SVuutAeS-Auc a PPVE sAVHMeAt'
We publish to-day the bill which has passed
both branches of the Legislature, "defsisg the
boundaries of certain counties."r The counties
on the West side of the Mississippi, lit will be
seen, are divided by the: surveyed lines of
towns ranges and sections; and we trust the
legislation upon this delicate subject has been
such as to meet the views of the great MAORI
ty of ;those interested in the proper location Of
county lines. -..-.
This act also provides for two new counties
on the north shore of Lake Superior, to be
formed out of that portion of Minnesota Terri
tory acquired from the Chippewa Indians by
the treaty ratified Jan. 10th, 1855. These two
counties bearsthe names of Doty and Superior
The next matter of great interest to be dis
posed of by the Legislature, is the apporion.
ment of members, upon basis demanded by
the rights of the population, as they will APP
pear by the census which is to be taken next
summer by the Sherfs of the several counties.
The joint committee appointed some weeks
since, reported in the Council, by bill, on Fri
day last, and the bill was made the special or
der of the day for to-day. Upon examination
of the bill, VIC are compelled, with the practical
state of facts now before us, to. give, the, mea-
sure our entire sanction. 1t is. certainly fair
and equitable in its provisions; and if there be
no legal objections to the mode proposed by
which the representation of the several districts
is to. be scttled-and we presume there, can be
none-we hope to see the bill become a law
as it stands. There can certainly be no color
of oppositon to the measure on the ground of
right and fairness. The different portions Of
the Territory can only get by the provisions
of this bill, the representation justified by act
ual population; and the peoples own SherifIs
of the several Counties arc entrusted with the
enumeration of inhabitants
We trust the veXed question of appcrtion-
ment will be settled upon the basis of the bill
now before the Legislature, and settled AMIGA
bly, and tremendously.

Division Of Ramsey County.

The people of st. Paul should take note Of
the fact, that determined move is now being
made in the Legislature to cut down the Coun-
ty Of Ramsey to q ten-by-twenty terrirtor ria
limit, against which their delegation IN Dotn
branches are fighting, almost against hope, TO
prevent an act so unjust becoming law. !, We
have no idea that the people of ST. Anthony
wish to repudiate 1T amounts to reppdiation)
their share of the debt heretofore contracted by
the County of Ramsey; but we must say the
action Of the st. Anthony delegation in the
House yesterday squints very, strongly in that
direction. The representatives of st. Paul in
both branches with the probable exception oil
Mr.. Freeborn-are q unit against the consum-
nation of this outrage, and it is the duty Of
their constituents to look we'll to seeing them
sustained in the decided stand which they have
taken. 1cQJ TSsFL.D2

From Kansas.

- .f-t H - . t. #
A citizen of St. Paul has received from one
of the ST. Paul emigrants to Kansas private
letter, from which we are allowed to make the
following extract 1t is a veri6cation OF the
letter we published few days since from
friend who had travelled through Kansas The
letter is dated at Fort LeavenwOrth: i.+..,-.
"We have as yet no towns or cities in Kan
sas-not even capital. We are not Distracted
We have had no census taken. Our govern
ment officers have not all arrived yet. VIZ
have no courts established in fact we have no
thing in the shape of a government. We have
no chance to make money yet. We can never
equal ST. Paul for making money. We cannon
equal st. Paul in health, or anything else. We
cannot grow so large a city as st. Paul. We
may get up an hundred smaller ones. but 81
Paul is the place to make money, after all
Money can be made here, however, but not SO
fast as in St. Paul. This place is q. S. Fort
consequently we have no population aside from
those in U. S. employ, except some dozen
boarders, with myself at the "Forage Mas
ters." Kansas is much better Territory Than
Nebraska Kansas is filling up rapidly, and
there will be in a short time Gas soon as our
land is surveyed) some rare chances to make
money. 1 am in hopes to improve some OF
those chances for myself and friends in st. Paul
who have authorized me to draw upon them.
The soil of this Territory exceeds that oil
Minnesota in the main, but the climate OF Min
nesota is far superior to the climate ofthis Ter
ritory. We have fever and ague about three
months in the year so severely that no labor
can be performed. 1 shall never reside here
ST. Paul is my home-that is after 1 make a
little money here"

Destructive Fire,

A fire broke out about seven o'clock on Sat

above Exchange street. The flames made rapid
progress and before they could be checked,
the adjacent building east, occupied by DR.. t.

change, was also in blaze Most of the goods,
however, from the Drug Store were removed
before the raging element obtained full posses
sion of the premises. The Doctors loss cannot
be over $500, which, we understand is fully
covered by insurance.
Mr.. Woodward's loss is considerably greater.
as very small portion of his goods could be
removed in time. We understand lie was also
insured, but whether sufficient to cover all los
