THE WINSLOW HOUSE.

other points. Mr.. Dorsey has invested some
$4,000 in the Winslow House, has had it papcred
and painted throughout, added new furniture, and
done every thing within his power to make the
house acceptable to his customers. In view of
these facts, it is not to be supposed that he will
abandon the premises, particularly when he con-
tinues to receive a good portion of the public
patronage. We believe in an honorable cOmpe-
titiOn, but when rival houses seek to dctract from
each other by faschood, by asserting tha. pub
lie house is closed, when such is not the case, it
is time that travellers, and others should know it.
The WINsLow IIOrsE will continue to 20 on as
hitherto, and occupy the position it always has
occupied that of the first hotel in the Territory
of Mnnesota-the lying Misrepresentation to
the contrary notwithstanding.
! FIGHT AMONG THE GERMANS
The upper and lower town Germans of this
city, had fight on Monday night last on Third
street, opposite the store of Messrs McCloud.
The aifray commenced at - O'Clock, and lasted
about two hours, and was then only brought to
close by the appearance of the city Marshal, who
arrested several of the rabblc, while the rest,
some fifty in number, obsquatulatcd, leaving the
Marshal and his five gentle prisoners masters of
the field. The lower town Germans, as we
understand it, gathered en- mass and marched up
to the residence of Mr.. Joseph Spiel, on St. An
thony street, for the purpose of chcvareeyng him.
Mr.. SpiePs friends, indignant at this. made Il
regular old fashioned onslaught upon the mob,-
rcpused them, and followed them into Third
street, where the down town squad obtained
new recruit, and Il battle commenced The stones
and clubs few thick and fast for an hour or two,
but We conclude that those using them, were all
bad marksmen, because their effect was no more
than would have been many blank cartridges.
No one was killed, none badly hurt, but the yell
ing was beyond the power Of the keenest imagi-
nation.
The WEArnER.-The long continued rainy
weather is the source OF surprise to many OF
- the oldest inhabitants OF Minnesota 1t is
not often we have over three days OF rain, but
it is now days since the Sun made its
face visible. The quantity OF rain fallen, is
large, the rivers arc quite high, and we think
there can bc no doubt bu, the umbcrmen will
be enabled to send down the logs in great
numbers. The want OF lumber las retarded
the growth and prosperity Of almost every city
and town i'll the Tcrritory-this barrier re-
moved, Minnesota will shoot ahead with I'M
parallclcd rapidity. We learn that some of the
logs have already come down, and that others
are OH their way.
eV p. u. FURBER, ESQ, who was nominated
by the Republicans in the lower ward, for tie
| Legislature, has withdrawn his name, and re-
commended the name of John T.. W arren. ESQ.
Mr.. Furbcr is good man, and regret that he
will not accept the nomination, but if he persists
in declining, we know of no better man to fill his
| place, than Mr.. Warren.
We WANT A NIGnr PoLicE.-The recent
Gisgracelu disturbance in our city, fully dem
ols,ratcs that we want a Night Police, and ull-
less one is established, we apprehend much
trouble. Election is approaching, party spirit
is running high, and one portion of our foreign
population is becoming arrayed against the 9TH
or. We need Il Police to check these things
MINNEsorA.-It is very desirable that tie
Territories should be represented in the next
Congress by Delegates earnestly, unpurchasa-
| bly, devoted to the cause of Freedom for ALL
WILLIAM Il. MARSHALL is the Republican
candidate for Delegate from Minnesota, and is
pretty certain to be elected over Henry NJ
Rice the late Picrcc-Douglas Delegate, unless
too many votes should be thrown away on Da-
vid Olmslcd, third candidate who is opposed
to the Nebraska lnquty, and who we are as
sured, must run considerably behind Mr.. Mar
shall. Ifall the Anti Nebraska votes should be
concentrated on Mr.. NJ, his election is NOR
rally certain. We urge, therefore, all Minnc-
| soIians who would have Kansas and Nebraska
come into the Union as Free States, and thus
arrest the westward progress of Slavery, to
drag out every vote for William r. Marshall
": Y. Tribune.
FUNERAL OF JouN BECKER.-The funeral Of this
young man. who was killed near Lake Superior,
by tho accidental discharge of gun, took piece
from the residence of his BROTHER yesterday after
noon. His father and mother were present.
CO The weather yesterday, was clear and
pleasant. The fingers of Autumn have PLAYED
with the leaves, and they present Il decaying ap-
pearance.
Cy Our Republican friends in St. Paul should
be arranging matters for the election. We want
several mass meetings at which the issue should
be fairly discussed, that the people may know
what they are called upon to vote for.
SrEAMERs.-The steamers City Belle, H. S..
Allen, Oakland, Globe. Berlin, Equator and
Clarion, all lay moOred at the lower levee ye.ter-
day morning.
THE WINsLow lIousE-This establishment
has been recently papered and painted through
out.
EscArEp FROM CLINTON PRIsoN.-A Frenchman
named Zebulon Larry, sentenced last June to
Clinton Prison for Eve years, from Saratoga
County, escaped by crawling through one of the
sewers from the Prison, and breaking the bars at
the inlet, on Thursday evening last.
gY The Boston Herald states that man was
Knocked down and robbed of Sls, in the Public
Garden, Tuesday, at O'Clock P. NJ. in broad
daylight.
