AN EXCELLENT ENTERPRISE.-Col. Robertson
former editor of the Democrat, of this city, has
been. and is now engaged procuring subscrip-
lots, to be donated to the Historical Society O
this city. Upon these lots is to be erected as
soon as possible, a large building, with spa
cious room for lectures, room for a library
rooms for curositiGs, and other rooms for other
purposes. The enterprise is one which com.
mends itself to all. and we are glad to learn
that it is meeting with success, twelve hundred
dollars having already been subscribed. Should
Mr.. Robinson succeed in his efforts, as we have
no fears but be will, he will merit the warm
thanks of every Minnesotian.--T Times.
The enterprise named by the Times is bound
to succeed. 1t has now advanced SO far tina,
we think no contingency can retard its consum
nation. For several days past, we have no
ticed that most of our leading citizens heartily
cooperate in forwarding the measure by sub
scrptions and active personal exertions. Il
has been suggested, that when the lots are pur
chased and the foundation of the building ready
to be commenced, that some noted citizen Of
the country be invited to deliver an address
appropriate to the occasion. We know of a
distinguished statesman, identified with our
country in the olden time, whom we think
should be the man selected, and that man is
Gen. Cass.
FIRST STEAMBOAT ARR1vAL.-The steamer
Montel)o, which wintered at Henderson on the
Minnesota river, arrived at st. Paul on Sunday
morning that annual event of great
note, "the first arrival of the season."
~ The Luella left for Red Wing on Sat
urday, with good load of passengers destined
for that place and points below.
CoILIsIoN.-1n going out on Saturday, the
Luella was carried against the Globe, by the
force of the wind. The only damage done was
the tearing away of portion of the upper
guards of the latter boat.
u.s. The Globe departed yesterday for the
river, having on board a crowd Of

r The Rome correspondent of the New
ark Advertiser, under date of February 23d,
says: There are rumors that the city OF Cat
ania, in Sicily, has been we'll nigh destroyed
by an eruption of Etna. They come chiefly from
Naples, and a gentleman who arrived yesterday
from Genoa told me that the same intelligence
was received on the day of his departure, by
steamer from Palermo In the absence of
free press it is difficult to procure reliable in
formation here in seasons of public calamity
There are no newspapers in these countries out
of the chief towns, and their journals are under
the control of the police, who allow nothingto
appear which could aeitate the public mind in
any way. They do tell US, however, that the
King of Naples has been strongly pressed by
the allied powers, in concurrence with the ur-
gent demands of the Austrian Minister, to join
the alliance against Russia, and furnish q con-
tingent of troops, and that he is seriously con-
sidering it; which is doubtless an intimation
that it is to be done. 1t is in fact said, in pri
vate circles, that he will send to the Crimea
the same number of troops as Sardinia-ffteen
DEMAND FOR PREPARATION dispatch from

N8- P. T. Barnum, in his biography, written
by himself, thus speaks of advertising:
Advertise your business. Do not hide your
light under bushel. Whatever your occupa-
tiOn or calling may be, if it needs support from
the public, advertise it thoroughly and effect
ually. in some shape or other, that will arrest
public attention.
