The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1855-12-29


TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1866.
The Pioneer.
Earle S. Goodrich can never forgive the
Minnesotian for not getting out of his way,
and giving him full sweep, with his steam
press, at the printing business in St. Paul.
Having boosted when he first came here that
he would annihilate the Minnesotian Office
in six months, it gals him to the very quick
to think he has not been able to make good
his boast; but on the contrary, the Mime
sotian has kept ahead of his black mail con-
Germ all the while, not only in legitimate
business, but in the confidence and respect
of the community which surrounds both es-
Adjustments.
The general plan adopted by the creature
is to personally attack the senior editor Of
the Minnesotian, and launch forth the vilest
anathamas upon his private character. The
creature in its blinded meanness and jeal-
ousy, all the while forgets that 1t suffers by
its vile and undignifed course, and not We
We have often given it full license to pursue
this kind of warfare whenever it so chose
as we always gain largely thereby, while 1t
looses proportionately. So we say OF the
last effort on yesterday morning, made in
reply @ to mild but truthful rebuke which
we were called upon by the whole commu-
nifty to administer, on Saturday. When the
Pioneer again commits such another public
outrage, in order to scandalize apublic officer
for refusing to pander to its black mail de-
mands, and to ridicule private citizen who
has recently refused longer to donate means
for the editors moneyed excuses, the Min
nesotian will speak just as it did last Satur-
day. That article of ours hit precisely
where we intended it should. Hence the
raving Of the beast
Observation-Disclosures from Washington
appear to be positive that our Government
will not recognise Walkers new Govern
ment in Nicaragua. Col. Parker H. French
a somewhat noted character, has been sent
as it's Minister, but it is said he will not be
received in that capacity, and that Wheeler,
our Minister, will be recalled for ackEowledg.
ing the new Government. The Presidents
late proclamation against the Nicaragua fill
busters, looks as though all this might be
true.
The WEArHER.-Our thermometer record
Of this morning shows the lowest Decembe,
temperature that has ever been known in St
Paul since our residence here of seven win
tiers. Signs of moderation were apparent
last evening.
DAGuERREoTYPING THE LUNGs.-A Mr..
Robert G. Clark of Philadelphia, lays claims
to have discovered process by which he is
enabled to take an accurate portrait of the
lungs of living person. This may be in
credible to even those who are familiar with
every detail of the art. Yet what were once
apparently impossibilities to us in the way
of new discoveries, have by illustration and
experience been proved true, and so, no
doubt it will be with this. 1t is a very well
known fact, that view of the interior of an
ordinary bottle may be accurately obtained
therefore, why may not, by a somewhat
similar method, mirrors be so arranged as to
obtain by reflection view of the lungs p
of course we are not prepared to explain
the exact mode in which this is done, as that
is Mr.. Clark's secret. Suffice it to say, the
the discovery has already been thoroughly
tested by skillful experiment.
Mr.. G. intends to give his discovery to the
world, and will lay the matter before Con-
gress the present session, petitioning that a
committee of physicians be appointed to ex-
anime into it's merits, and that an appropri-
alton be made in consideration of his giving
it to the public, which would be done now
were he not fearful that others would endea-
vor to deprive him of the benefits of the
discovery, if the secret was disclosed before
q committee examined it at Washington.
A man was arrested in st. Louis, on Tues
day last, and So, 1000 worth of gold dust and
jewelry was found in his possession. He
has been locked up until news may reach the
city of the great robbery supposed to have
been committed in one of the Eastern States
South Carolina State military Ac
ademies are in fourishing condition. Or
the LIST of January next there will be in the
Citidel fifty-seven pay cadets, and twenty
five benefciaries; and the Arsenal, ffty-si1
pay and thirty-three bene6ciaries; making
in the aggregate, one hundred and seventy
one CADETS in the Military Academies. The
expenditures for the last year were about
$47, -equaling the receipts.
To show that members of Congress
from the slave States consider the slave
question paramount to all issues, we neeG
only refer to the fact that Messrs. Carath-
ers and Oliver of Missouri, Bowie from
Maryland, Stephens from Georgia, Evans o.
Texas, and Talbot from Kentucky ,all elected
to Congress as Wings, and opposed to the
Administration, have voted for Richardson
the Administration candidate for Speaker
And yet these men complain of the North
and charge upon us that we are sectionalists
The HORSE, Nor THE MAN.-At recen
session of the Board Of Supervisors of Wash
ington county, Wisconsin, the Sheriff o
that county presented claim fol, travelling
fees. One of the Board ascertained that thu
Sheriff had ridden on horseback in serving
the papers for which the fees were charged
