PROSPECTUS
or THE
WINONA WEEKLY EXPRESS.

The undersigned propose to publish at WI
MONA, Winona County, Minnesota TER tory, a
Weekly Newspaper, TO be called the "WINoNA
WEEKLY EXPRESS" the first number OF which
will be issued on OF before the first Tuesday in
August next. In establishing the EXPRESS, it
will be our aim to found such newspaper as
we believe the growing and important interests
OF Southern Minnesota demand-a paper which
shall merit the confidence and be faithful cx-
ponent of the wants, the principles and the rights
of her citizens. In politics the EXPRESS will
be consistently Democratic, but whilst it will
sustain the time-honored principles OF the party
under whose guidance our common country has
grown from infancy to the full power of maturer
manhood, it will, with all its influence and en-
ergy, oppose the dogma which unprincipled
politicians are now endeavorng to force upon
us, that party dicipline should sanction the vio-
lation OF solemn compromises, and that the fur
Their prosperity OF our country is indissoluby
connected with the extension of human bon
dage; believing that the fraudulent and violent
outrages lately perpetraed upon the citizens Of
neighboring Territory, to be the legitimate
fruits of the Northern Dough-laceism which
secured the passage Of the Kansas Nebraska
Bill. We shall upon all occasions give our in
fiuence and support TO such persons and meas
ures as will be most likely to lead to restora-
ton of the Missouri Compromise and prevent,
the further extension Of slavery over any ter.
rtory heretofore consecrated to freedom.
1t will treat political and other opponents with
fairness and courtesy, and whilst it Will always
endeavor to maintain the TRUTH and RIGHT
against FALsEHooD and ERROR, it will never
descend to become the medium of abuse against
the upright and worthy, merely to crafty the
malice or jealousy of any individual.
The Exrnrss will be printed on a double
medium sheet. with new type, and it will be
the constant endeavor OF the publishers to make
1t equal in appearance to any paper published
in the Territory.

A QUARREL IN BED-REsuLr MrRpkR.-A diff.
fcul occurred night before last, on St. Andrew
street. Fourth district, which resulted in the cold
blooded murder of man named Samuel Evcns,
by one James Carroll. 1t seems that Eveos resi-
ded in a house or ST. Andrew street, between
Rousseau and Tchopitosias, and Carroll lived in
the rear portion of the same premises. At n late
hour oil the night the two got into some difficulty
about the exact boundaries of their premises. and
while laying in bed, began to BLACKBOARD one an.
other, and call the wives of each other improp
names. Carroll's wife said to him, while lyinp
in bed, "Are you going to allow your wife to be
called d-b-without resenting it?' Spurred
on by this taunt, Carroll got up and went to the
door of Evens' house. Evens' wife met him at
the threshold and begged him for Gods sake, not
to njure her husband. She had child in her
arms, but Carroll with an oath babe her stand
aside, and WAS advancing into the house, when
Evens came forth to meet him. Carroll eaucbt
Evens by the collar and dragged him out of the
house on to the banquette, where he instantly
stabbed him in the left side. Evens fell to the
earth and expired in a few minutes, and Carol,

PRESERVING SLAvE.-The readers of the Tribune
probably remember that last fall negro slave
by the name of Davis, made daring attempt to
escape from his master, in Savannah, by conceal
ing himself beneath the guards of the steamer
Keystone State. which was bound for Phiadel-
pha, and remaining there half drowned and nearly
starved, until he was discovered and carried into
Newcastle, Delaware, whence he was returned to
his owner. Subsequently it appears that Davis
was sent to Macon, Western Georgia, for his bet
ter security, and the Savannah Republican states
that a few DAYS ago he made another bold at
tempt to attain freedom. lie fastened himself
under one of the Of the night passenger train
for Savannah, intending upon his arrival there to
make another effort to reach the Northern States.
Unfortunately for him, upon the arrival of the
cars Mt Mhllen, some one passed along the tain
with u lantern, when it was observed bv the con-
ductor that the bottom of one of the cars cast nm
unusual shadow, and upon examination it was
found to proceed from Ned and his perch beneath
the train. lie was at once secured and sent back
to his owner.

The Lexington left st. Louis on Thursday eve
ming. and the catastrophe occurred about O'Clock
an Sunday morning. and about four miles above
Rome, Indiana. The toward part of the boat

destruction seemed inevitable. Just at this time
a wood boat made its appearance and was soon
along side. Directly the steamer D. A. Given,

Yesterday evening as procession of Firemcn,
Turner's and others were parading the streets. u
difficulty arose between one of the Turner's and a
boy, when an alarm was sounded by the Turner'S.
and they rushed back assaulting and throwing
stones at people in the streets, and the riot be-
came general. The Turner's being armed with
revolvers, commenced firing. About twelve shots
were fired, and one young man was shot and died
in about an hour. Many others were badly in
iured by shots and stones, but not fatally it is be-
lieyed. The police have arrested twenty four
Turner's. Public opinion is decidedly against
the coniuct of the Turner's, as there was no ex-
cuSe for their conduct.

fires, which are charged to incendiarism. In

Some painters having been at work painting
the New Presbyterian church, cotton rag,

was in ashes, evidently the result Of spontane-
