WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF FREMONT
The following are extracts from speeches in
the United States Senate:
II have acquaintance with the Colonel, land
I am so favorably impressed as to him, that
l would as readily trust him as any other
individual. His integrity is beyond suspi-
clon."-John c. Calhoun.
"Col. Fremont is young officer of great
merit-one who deserves we'll of his coun-
try for the bravery and ability with which
he has discharged his important and delicate
duties in California ~-Danta Webster.
"Col. Fremont exhibited combination OF
energy, prompttude, sasacity and prudence,
which indicates the highest capacity for civil
and military command. That the country
will do justice to his valuable and distin-
guished services, | entertain not the slight
est doubt."- Senator Die.
"Col. Fremont, in my opinion, is the most
meritorious American of his age, now in ex-
stenee. "-Senator ANen, Of Ohio.
81 regard Col Fremont as one ST the most
heroic and successful officers in our army
an army of which any nation might be
proud. "-Senator Rusk, Of Teas.

The Campaign i'm North western Wis
consin...GOOd Work Progressing.

Our neighbors over across the st. CroiS
are all wide awake to the interests of the
good cause of Freedom and Fremont The
Fremont men of Pierce and St. Croix coun-
ties assembled, with their wives and daugh-
tiers, at River Falls, on Tuesday afternoon
last, to the number of sic or eight hundred,
which is certainly great Mass Meeting for
a country SO thinly settled. River Falls is a
pleasant village OH the Prescott and Hudson
road, about midway between those two
towns. The inhabitants of River Falls had
every thing prepared for the reception of
their guests in regular old country social
style, and entertained them with an earnest
that manifested that their whole hearts are
in the cause.
The speakers in attendance were Hon. G.
G. Washburne, tie faithful representative of
that district in Congress; Hon. John ALI
son, of Pa. and Ex-Gov. Ramsey and Nj.
S. Wilkinson, Esq. of St. Paul. Their can
did detail of facts illustrative of the issue
now before the American people was listened
to with all-absorbing attention; and the eff
feet will be felt at the polls in November.
The people there assembled wished to hear
the truth, and it was given to them in plain,
practical terms.
In the evening of the same day, an i'm
promtu meeting was held at Hudson, COM
posed of numbers sufficient to fill the largest
hall i'm town. Messrs. Washburne and Will
kinson addressed the meeting. All was life
and animation; and our informant adds that
very little of the Buchanan party is left in
Hudson, outside of the Land Office.
So we march on to victory

JUST A YEAR AHEAD.-A ludicrous mis-
take recently occurred in San Francisco.
The citizens had held several enthusiastic
meetings, appointed committees, marshals,
president, &C., and made ready for grand
celebration of the one hurdredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Lafayette, on the 9th OF
September, when all at once it was discov-
cred that Lafayette was born Sept. 6, 1857,
instead of 1856, as was supposed, and there
fore the hundredth anniversary does not oe-
cur until meet year.!

GIVING 1T UP.-Governor Brown, of Mis-
sissippi, says the Louisville Journal, express
es, in letter to the editor of Holly Springs
Democrat, his fears that Mr.. Buchanan twill
not get single non-slaveholding State, ex-
eept California, and actually acknowledges
that the Democrats give up Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, Delaware
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa."

INDIAN BATTLE IN OREGoN.-An Indian
battle was fought on Grand Ronde River, in
Oregon, on the 18th of last July, between
the I'm ted States troops and the hostile In
dams, in which the latter were completely
routed. There were $50 to 400 Indians, be-
sides 200 women in the encampment. There
were over sixty Indians killed and large
number wounded. This probably puts an
end to the war in the Pacific Territories.

ton.
The halls which traverse the different
floors are wide and airy, and connected by
alcoves with balconies upon both fronts,
from which splendid views of the city and
surrounding country are afforded. The wa

FURNITURE.
The furniture of the Fuller House has
cost Mr.. Long over $4,000. In order to
make it an object for him to undergo this
great expense, spirit of liberality to about
the same extent, and by the same citizens
that assisted the Messrs. Fuller in building
the house, came forward with their gratuit-
Gus means. Small sums were also donated
by most of the business men of the lower
part of the city. Mr.. Long and his lady pro-
ceeded to the East during the month of July,
and purchased the outfit, comprising the
most elegant hotel furniture to be found in
the cities of Philadelphia, New York and
Boston. The furniture in the Ladies' Parlor
alone cost $4,000, exclusive of the Piano
the Gentlemen's Parlor in the same proper
ton, and the Bar-Room furniture 500.
The ware for the use of the table and rooms,
and the cutlery, are of the most elegant and
costly character.
Every room is supplied with full COM
plement of nunciators--Jackson's patent
being the kind in use.
In regard to the furniture and fixtures of
the Fuller House, it may not be improper to
mention that the purchases were made at the
following noted Eastern houses:
Carpets and Upholstery Goods, of A.
Stewart & Co., New York;
Parlor Furniture, j. w. Southack, New
York;
Cottage Furniture, Doe, Hazleton & Co.,
Boston;
China Ware, Underhill, Haviland & Co.,

Warner, Philadelphia.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Such is but brief and imperfect sketch
of the Fuller House, as it now stands, ready
for the reception of the public-the most
costly and magnificent hotel enterprise that
has ever been undertaken by city of the
age of St. Paul since America was settled.
1t will afford home to the traveller and
pleasure-seeker such as he can find only in
the largest cities of our country, md as such
its ample and complete accommodations are
now offered to the world. Its proprietor
only asks trial to convince all reasonable
persons of these facts.
THE AMERICAN HOUSE.
The American House, St. Paul, will con-
tinue under its present auspices-Mr. Long
having determined to keep up his old estab-
lishment the same as heretofore, under the
superintendent of Edgar Wetmore, Esq.

The Fuller House.
ITS HISTORY,

About two years anterior to the date OF
this writing, the interested men of st. Paul,
whose property and business lie in that por-
ton of the City known as "St. Paul Prop
er," and the numerous "Additions" adjoin-
ing the same on the North and East, con-
ceived the idea of having erected in o central
position, first-class Hotel. After the usual
preliminaries of general consultation, &C., as
to the mannerin which the enterprise should
be carried out, it was very wisely decided
that the usual mode of forming Joint Stock
Company should not be adopted, but that a
large bonus should be raised to be presented
to whatever competent and responsible man
or firm would undertake the extensive work
There was no promise Of remuneration, for
years, in the character of building that it was
proposed to erect, even with this bonus but
in A'pheus G. Fuller, Esq, the planners of
the enterprise found man willing to be-
come, in measure, public bencfactor, and
to proceed forthwith to the work of erect
ing hotel building which, in regard to
expense, durability, imposing appearance,
comfort, and all the conveniences which go
to make complete the most fashionable of
modern Hotels, has scarcely its equal in the
Valley of the Upper Mississippi.
The sum of money raised as the bonus
amounted to about $4,000, which was main
ly contributed by Pierre Chouteau, Jr., and
Co., Ira Bidwell, c. W. Borup, c. II. Cakes,
A. L. Larpenteur, Forbes & Kittson, Truman
M. Smith, Alex. Wilkin, P. r. Whine, and
others whose names are not now recollected.
In addition to this amount of money, title
deeds for the ground upon which the Hotel
is erected were also guaranteed to the pro-
prietor, upon its completion. This donation
was made by Messrs. j. w. Bass and Will
liam II. Randall, the owners of the lots.
The contract being closed with Mr.. Al
pheus G. Fuller, that gentleman, during the
winter of lS54-'55, proceeded to perfect his
plans, get ready his material, and prepare for
commencing operations early the ensuing
Spring. 1t was not originally the intention
of those who had interested themselves in
tie enterprise, nor of Mr.. Fuller, to have
the house cost over $4,000 at the ut
most; but as is generally the case in such
undertakings, now that 1t is finished, the fig
ures go largely beyond that sum. Every
thing complete @iU show it to have cost at
least $4,000.
During the past Summer, the Fuller
House was leased for term of years by S.
Long, Es;., who has Sc successfully conduc-
ted tie American House, of this city, for the
past three years. In conducting the new
Hotel, he is assisted by his brother, E. H.
Long, Esq, also late of the American, and
by J. W. Prince, Esq, an old adept at the
business in the East and South, as General
Superintendent of the House.
