BESErir OF ADvERrIsrxc.-O One day last
week an elderly gentleman from the neighbor-
hood Of Traverse des Sioux, lost his pocket
book as he supposed on Fort street road, a little
above St. Paul, containing about 500. a fier
spending day in vain search for it, and as he
was about going home, friend and neighbor
ef his advised and induced him to get some
hand bills printed, which was accordingly done.
The gentleman started for home on Saturday
last. The bills were issued from our Office
Saturday night, and Monday morning we sent
him his money. The pocket-book was picked
up by Mr.. J. H. Harriet, young man in the
employ Of Messrs Bond & Kellogg, who with
conmendable promptness, as soon as he saw
the notice, brought it to our ofice.-.Minne-

LETTER FROM MIR. MARSHALL.

We give place to the following letter from
Mr.. MARSHALL, relative to all article which
appeared in our paper of Monday. 1t is GER
,anly worthy of high comGendaton IN a can
didate to seek to do Justice to political opro-
nent, and we honor Mr.. MARSHALL the more
for his straightforward, manly conduct
While, however, we are willing to concede that
Mr.. Rice did something towards bringing the
first bill for grant Of Lands for Railroad pur-
poses before Congress, yet we must be permit
ted to say, that Mr. MARsnALL's friends, in
and out of Congress, did also much towards
consunma,ing the enterprise, although this
fact may not be known to Mr.. MARSHALL HIM
sell. We lave it from gentlemen who were
in Washington at the time, and who are iainll-
Jar with the circumstances. But even admitting
that Mr. Rice did get the bill before Congress
by his own, unaidedd, personal efforts -Cui
bono WAS it not defeated by the avarice OF
Mr.. Rice9 What credit is then due him! If
there is am credit, does it not inurc to the ORR
gnator of the movement-and who else is he
but WILLIAM r. MARsHALL!
The remaining portion OF our article is admit
ted to be correct by Mr.. MARSHALL, and in
asmuch as this was the main point we wished
to reach, we will rest the subject here, with the
satisfaction of knowing that we have knocked
out few spokes of the wheels of the chariot
in which Mr. Rice intends to ride into the White
House.
MIR. MARSfIALL'S LETTER.
r. M .NewsOn, Esq,-Dear Sir In your
paper of this morning, you do, uninentionay
l doubt not, injustice to Mr. Rice, which you
will be glad to have me correct. When state
ments are made relating to matters that am
acquainted with, and which are personal to my.
self, feel that it is not indelcate, but rather
duty to correct any errors that would do injus.
tice to political opponent.
1t was not due to my exertions and the CO.
operation Of friends that the first bill for grant
of lands was got before Congress. The credit
of that measure, and whatever show of success:
attended it, is due to Mr.. Rice and the many
friends of Minnesota in Congress. To its sue.
cess before Congress, l contributed little OF
nothing.
That first and earliest in the fall and be-
ginning of the winter Of 1853, pressed upon
the attention of our people the importance o
Railroad connection with the East and South
through the interior of our Territory; that pre-.
scented the advantages of this route over the
Wisconsin, or so-called Hoyt route, to Mr..
Rice at time when he was in favor ofthe Hoyt
route, and when his views upon our Railroad
interests were perhaps immature, and that my
views were adopted by Mr.. Rice, and acted up
on in first urging upon Congress grant Of
lands for this Northern route, are equally and
entirely true. l would repeat, however, that
in bringing forward the bill before Congress,
and pending its passage, Mr. Rice deserves all
the credit For it he worked zealously and
faithfully. Truly yours,
w. R. MARSHALL.

not do. He then offered him the Office Of COM

finally the place Of Embassador to England
was rendered him, and refused because Mr..
Pierce would not publish in the Union the fac,
that he had requested Reeder to resign, with
Reeder's reply.
