NEWSPAPER DIsCUssIoNs.-We wish it under
stood, that in discussing the question OF" City
tietorm. or any other question, with any of oul
editorial neighbors, we are always careful no
to identify the sentiments OF q correspondent
ofan opposition newspaper with the pretended
editorial sentiments of the paper itself. We
wish it also known. that we yesterday essayed
to deal with the editorial remarks of the Times
and not with the views Of any of its cores
pondents. We are generally particular in nam
ing the distinction. whenever we have occasion
to comment upon matters editorial and matters
communicated, which may appear in the col
unns of our advarsaries,
THE LUELLA arrived from, Red Wing yester.
day morning with those Of the War Eagles
passengers destined for this point-some two
hundred in number Among our citizens re-
turned, who have been absent during the win
ter, We are pleased to find NJ. S. Wilkinson
Esq. who is looking in excellent health after
his three months sojourn among the wise men
OF the nation. The great body of the passen-
gers by the War Eagle are substantial appear
ing immigrants, seeking home in Mime
sofa.
ms- A. S. Elfelt is the first of our extensive
Dry Goods merchants home, after his spring
purchases in the Eastern cities. He returned
by the War Eagle, and his goods will soon fol-
low him.
HIGH WINDs--The "March winds" of coun-
tries further south always come to us in April
They are upon US" high and dry "-raw and
disagreeable. Well, We can stand them, il
they will only dry up the mud, aud upset the
ice in Lake Pepin.
THE CLARION SU>K.--It was the steamer Clar-
ion, and not the Galena, that started some two
weeks since for the upper Mississippi ports-
She had Oh board some two hundred passengers,
including Maj. Herriman and his Indians, and
several other Mnnesotians. At Wells Land
ing. some IL miles above Dubuque, she was
damaged to a sinking condition in gorge Of
ice. The pilot had barely time to run her nose
ashore, when down she went in about six feet
water-a total loss, with perhaps the exception
Of the machinery, No injury to any one on
board. The Clarion was purchased during the
past winter by company Of the citizens of
Shakopee and st. Paul, and it was the intention
to run her as a st. Paul and Shakopee packet
We understand she was not insured
| gaa- The Luella on her downward trip on
Saturday, just below Kaposia was carried by
the wind upon a snag close in shore, which
struck a stage plank projecting over the
guards, and turning the plank upon the deck
it came in contact with one OF the crew-Hugh
Fitzsimmons of this place-breaking one of bis
legs below the knee joint. The unfortunate
sufferer was brought back to the city yesterday
morning by the Luella and taken care OF
| ashore.
~ A tremendous explosion recently oc-
Cured in the Chesterfield Coal Mines, Virginia,
FOrty-two deaths resulted threfrom-nine
white men and thirty three negroes
ALL ABoARD!-The Luella leaves for Red
Wing this morning at nine o'clock. Passen-
gers down by her will meet the War Eagle at
the foot of the Lake on Wednesday.
THE RIVER is gradually rising at this point
We understand the rise comes from the Mssis-
sippi and its tributaries above the Falls of St.
Anthony.
