receive their full share Of the popular favor and
encouragement.
In Minnesota, winter is even money making
season for our farmers, class of people who
generally in other sections sslic up'' during this
incement period, or go into regular winter quar-
tiers, and Consume spend what they earned the
preceding summer. In this Territory, however
it is otherwise, and, having gathered and dispos-
G of rich harvest from their farms, in the
month of November repair with their teams to the
vast pineries of the north and reap second and
richer crop, in the shape of fine logs, and return
in the Spring in time to resume their ordinary oc-
cupation as farmers In this way have known
them to clear from $1,000 to $4,000 a year. In
general, it may be said that the climate Of Min
nesota is greatly superior to that of any State in
the same latitude between it and the Atlantic
colds and coughs being exceedingly rare, whilst
the FEY er and ague, that curse of new countries,
is fugitive its soil, and only touches it to be
cured. The soil of Minnesota is good, in some
districts excellent, though, as in most States and
and others Territories, there are large tracts of
waste and barren lands, only valuable for their
timber and mineral, and perhaps not even for
these. The good lands are usually happily stu
ated for settlement and cultivation, being found
in and contiguous to the great valleys Of our
navigable streams, as the Blue Earth, st. Peters,
Mississippi, and the St. Croix. In some districts
the soil is supported by stratifed limestone, in
others by clay or gravel. This is generally the
character Of the sub-soil in the wooded districts
Of the Territory, that of the praries being gener-
ally underlaid by strata of sand and loose gravel
Yet many districts of Minnesota prairie land are
excellent for grazing and cultivation.
Spring and fall wheat do well, as also do rye
and barley. 1t lis most natural country for oats,

though It was an event that would be nm,
us in few days or months at farthest !, :
freshing as well as cheering to come ,o,ae-
such an article as the following, which 49,
find in the Washington Daily Globe:
We dislike 10 witness the tendenrr or 49,,
ty strfes, to resolve all into two great p saa
tlonal parties. In such divisions prinr;nIo-
are apt TO be put out OF sight, and intaro.,
made to sway on both sides. Still. We baa'
no fear Of that greater calamity 10 all sid..

whether the divisions he founded ON nr;u';

or sectional 1t Is so essentially the intere.,

10 inspire. CivIl war is a sad arbiter of sIav"

much like Billy Owens, a Kentucky yoIuny

the boat TO cross 10 the Canada shore Ia

in the march to the lakes; but when he en,sr'

MISUNDERSTANDING of the prevailing
high prices of breadstuffs and the immense
supplies for expectation which the country is
capable of affording, the Buffalo Courier re-
marks:
There is hardly any limit to our surplus of
wheat and corn, and if the demand abroad
should carry off lO0OOOOOO bushels, which
is almost four times as much rs we have ever
exported in one year, there would still be an
abundant supply for home consumption
Strange as it may seem, that with large sur.
plus on hand, fully equal to supply the de.
mand from abroad, prices should rule so high,
it is nevertheless, in obedience to n law of
trade, which makes sudden impulse push
the market values beyond due limit, rs well
as to another law of trade, which makes u
arrangement in the ordinary channels ofsup.
ply, produce, FOR time, all consequences of
an actual scarcity.

PREsENTATION.-We find the following
complimentary notice of an old friend, for.
merly citizen of East Tennessee, in Cali.
fornia paper:
Preseniation.-A valuable cane was pre-.
scented by the members of the Assembly yes
terday to- their excellent Clerk, Maj. Ander-
son, ms n testimony Of their esteem for his
personal good qualities and an acknowledge
Inent of their appreciation of his industry
and ability MS nm officer. The Major is a very
belligerent man, so we think that goblet
would have been the more suitable present
On the presentation of The cane, Hon. d.
+. Douglass made the following remarks:
MAJ. j. M. Anderson-My Good Sir-I
have been selected by your friends, to pre-
sent you with this "stick," as n token OF
their regard and esteem. Take it, and rs you
lean upon it, may it ever serve to remind you
that in all life's ups and do'onS, you will be
supported and sustained by those who now
thus manifest their appreciation of your
worth.
To which the gallant Major made the fol-
lowing handsome reply:
Gentlemen: The elegant gift which you
present me on this occasion, is accepted with
feelings of unaffected qualification. This
evidence of your kind regard is gratefully
appreciated because it is a gift from friends
whom esteem.
This cane, gentlemen, will be my constant
companion through lile-ever by my side to
support me, and to remind me of the gener-
GUS friends who presented it. 1t will always
be associated with agreeable recollections.-
Accept gentlemen, my sincere good wishes
for your health, happiness and prosperity.

DESTRUCTION AND CoNsERvATIoN.-The
true progressive and the true conservative
ngree very well together; for the former would
destroy only those portions of things which
are evil, whilc the latter would preserve only
those portions that are good The blind and
impulsive progressive would destroy every
thing that has the appearance of evil, endan-
gering by his precipitation the existence OF
every thing that is good; the blind and unre-
fleeing conservative would preserve every
thing that has the appearance of good, there.
by insurng the continuance OF gigantic evils
and tyrannies; but the true conservative and
the true progressive strike hands and swear
eternal friendship, and keep step together in
an onward march. Apart they can do little,
but united they may liberate the world.

sY The Grand Duke Constantine seems
to have some Of the ,igor and boldness Of his
father, The Emperor Nicholas. II is stated in
Paris paper, The Pays, in letter from St.
Petersburg, that in Council of War he pro.
posed to arm and equip the whole feet of
Cronstadt, Regel and Sweaborg, to embark
10000 men of picked troops, to make sail at
propitious hour, to force passage through
the allied squad.ons, or await their departure,
and the moment they left the Baltic to effect
landing in Scotland or England The En-
press opposed the enterprise, and the Emperor
hearkencd to his wife's advice.

The Iron FIRMEEss OF THE PRESIDENT
The Providence Journal recently called Mr..
Pierce sour weak minded President" Now,
we desire the Journal 20 take it back. The
President is hard as the granite and firm as
the hills of his native New Hampshire
Although pressed with applications from
newspaper agents all over the country, he
positively refuses TO allow his invaluable
message to 20 INTO type, and he remained
"frm' up to the last accounts. Such frmness
on the part of the Executive has not been
known since the days Of Jackson. One chance
more for Cincinnati.
