Real Estate.

Some of the croakers about town pretend
that property is not sustaining its previous rise
in value. We caution strangers wishing to
make investment here against these men.
They would be glad to create general
distress by representing its existence, that
thew may make the most of the little cap
ital they have. We assure our readers at a
distance, and strangers in the city, that prop
erty does fully sustain all previous expecta-
tions of its rise. To prove this we might name
many instances, but one will suffice for the
present. Last June, DR.. T. A. W. Davis, OF
Natchez, Miss, purchased property here and in
St. Anthony, for ten thousand five hundred dol
lars. which would now readily sell for twenty
thousand dollars. A few months after, the
same gentleman sent eight thousand dollars
here to his agent to invest for him, which sum
was judiciously invested. The Doctor was
here-a few days since, and could have sold the
nroperty purchased with the eight thousand,
for twelve thousand dollars. He was impor-
tuned to sell portion of it at even his her
advance, but he declared he bought nothing
to sell. but invested here solely for the benefit
of his children. Property that this gentleman
has bought here, all within less than year.
would in less than two years from this date,
bring one hundred thousand dollars. of this,
there is no doubt.

the prosperity of Minnesota. You name one
instance proving the falsity of their represent
ations-that of DR.. Davis, Of Missssippi-who
purchased property here few months ago for
some twenty thousand dollars, which know is
now worth forty thousand. Permit me TO name
another. happen to he cognizant of the fact,
because have desired to purchase the land,
that at di..erent times in the year 1854, Allen

acres within the business range of st. Paul.
This land was entered with land warrants
which cost probably one dollar per acre. l

per acre for the whole of it, Do the croakers
want other instances? X.

Warlike Demonstrations.

We copy this morning from the ST. Lous Re-
publican some important items of news from
the region of country west of us. The Indian
tribes of the western plains are in hostile ar
ray against the whites, and we may soon ex-
pect to hear of the massacre of parties of emil
grants crossing over to the Pacific settlements.

Gov. s.evens--The Northern Route.

Gov. Stevens--The Northern Route.
The Governor of Washington Territory, who
has done SO much to bring our Northern Pacif-
ic Railroad route into notice, and who is still
laboring with undated zeal to bring about the
consummation of the great project which is to
connect the waters of Lake Superior with the
Pacific, writes from Olympia to friend in st.
Paul, under date of March Path, as follows:
Il am afraid that nothing was done by Con-
gress at its last session in the matter of the
Railroad, though it is gratifying to learn
that the Northern route has been gradually
gaining strength and is now before the country
a recognized railroad route. The rapid filling
up of Minnesota, and the opening of the navi-
cation of the great Lakes to the western end
of Lake Superior, will, in my Judgment make
it the best route as regards local support, and
way travel. The railroad men of Maine and
the Canadas have already made a move which
must soon carry in support of the route, the
railroad men of both shores OF the st. Law
renee Basin.
"We are increasing stead ly and surely. Our
population has increased the last l6 months.
from four to about eight thousand The climate
is healthy and mild. and the soil we'll adapted
to roots fruit, and the cereals. The emigrants
are pleased with the country, and almost uni
formly send for their friends.
Congress at ifs last session a ppropriated
$50, zoe Tor wagon road from Fl Benton to Fl.
Walla Walla, which will c sufficient to make
good road, and to bridge the principal
streams Ii we are successful in treating with
the Indians east Of the Cascades, and with the
tribes of the Blackfeet nation. it will furnish a
remarkably excellent emigrant route. The
grade is good and water abundant; the longest
reach being only II miles, and hat occurring
only two or three times"
1t is matter worthy of Immediate consider
alton by the people of Minnesota, whether we
should not at once take measures to see that
this emigrant route to Puget's Sound be
speedily opened. The advantages which will
result to our Territory upon the compile, ion of
this desirable Improvement arc not to be calcu-
lated by the ordinary process of forming opin
ions in regard to great National undertakings
We hope and trust, that while our people are
busly engaged in planning schemes of i'm
provement Immediately at home, they will not
forget that the first step toward the accomplish
ment of our great Pacific Railroad enterprise.
is the opening of this emigrant route, contem-
plated by the appropriation of $4,000 which
was secured during the last session of Con-
gress.
Let Minnesota keep her eye steadily fixed to
this important connection with the settle
ments on the Pacific coast

IMMIGRATION, TO WMoNA.-Within the past
five hundred passengers, most Of them consist
ing OF families seeking a home on Minnesota's
rich and beautiful prairies. All bringing more
or less of cattle, horses, farming utensils, fur
niture, &C., which makes our levee. with the
goods of our merchants continually arriving,
look like city with thousands of Inhabitants.
Every one finds something to do, who is will
ling to work, and all are busy. Carpenters,
blacksmiths, masons, and other trades are do
ing good business, with continual demand,
and prospects of increase during the ensuing
year.
There is, very probably, three times the
amount of goods sold in WinOna and vicinity
this spring than last and all kinds of business
has Increased in the same ratio. Our hotels
are full to completion continually. and contra
ry to the custom east, where they keep runners
and persons to solicit patronage. they esteem
1t almost favor conferred, not TO crowd them
any more, and to refuse admittance frequently;
but hotels, we find, are like omnibusses on a
rainy day, always 'r0om for one more"
The land office also is doing fright smart
business. Last month there were more Declar
atory Statements filed and monies received
than in the previous six months Settlers are
proving up, and pre-empting their lands, and

DISTRESS IN KENTUCKY.-The Lebanon (Ky.)
Post says that an alarming number of citizens
of Washington county are in an actual state of
starvation. A public meeting was held in
Springfield and resolutions offered and adopt
ed to the effect that committees be appointed
charged with the duty of making collections in
their respective districts, and distributing the
fruits of their labor judieiousIy among the
needy. Speeches were made by DR.. c. L. Palm
er. R. J. Browne, and others, urging the ncces-
sity of immediate action-that charity and the
exigencies of the case required it.
