The Early Career of Col. Ere mont.

The soil of Minnesota, it is well known
has the honor Of bearing the first impress Of
the foot of John G. Fremont as an explorer
and geographer. Our distinguished fellow
citizen, Hon. II. II. Sibley, in a sketch OF
the life Of Jean N. Nicollet," which we find
in the " Annals of the Minnesota Historical
Society for 1853" alludcs as follows to the
young Pathfinder of Empire. Mr.. Silbey,
speaking of Nicollet's celebrated expedition
through the wilds of the Northwest in 1888
says:
"The eventful career of John c. Fremont
may be said to have commenced with this
expedition, he having been attached to it by
order of the Secretary of war. NJ. Nicollet
assembled the Missouri River with his COM
pany to Fort Pierre, from which point he
diverged across the prairies to Devils Lake.
and thence to the head of the Minnesota river
and down its valley to Mendoza On his
way he visited the Pipe Stone Quarry $50
called) on the Coteau de Prairie, explored
the Udine Region in which some of the nu-
merous tributaries of the Blue Earth take
their rise, and well remember the glowing
terms which he used in speaking of the Val
ley of the Minnesota, characterizing it as the
garden spot of the North West, and as des-
tined, at no distant day, to be the happy
home Of an industrious and enterprising pop
ulation.
M. Nicollet frequently referred to Col.
Fremont, in his conversations with me, as
young man of more than ordinary promise,
and stated his conviction, that the modest
and unassuming youth, if his life should be
spared, would in due time, carve out for him
self a distinguished position among the sarans
Of the age"

The Radical ID 2mocracy of New York.

A Democratic Republican Convention has
been called at Syracuse on the 9th of July
inst, of those who are in favor of main
tanning the political principles and practice
of Jefferson and jackson, and Tompkins,
and Silas Wright" The Convention is call
ed I" in view of the anti-Democratic plat
forms and proceedings of the last Conven-
tions of the party" and for the purpose OF
consolidation, and if deemed proper, for
political organization and action"
The call is signed by such Democrats as
Timothy jenkins, Benz. WEIGH, Jr., R. X.
Cunningham, Andrew McMullen, Ira Brow
nell, Clark B, Cochrane, J. L. Werner, Platt
Potter, Thomas B. Carroll, Samuel Douglas,
Martin I. Townsend, NJ. L. Filley, J. A..
Millard, Geo. Rathbun, James S. Wads,
WORTH Hiram P. Thayer, W. G. Fargo, E.
P. Williams, and F. Z. Stevens.
This is an important move, one that will
influence Democrats who are determined to
oppose the outrageous demands of the slave
power, in other states besides New York.
The eminent Democrats who have called the
Convention, disgusted with the absolute
and degrading submission Of tie Democrat
ic organization to the worst exactisi:s Of tue
slave power, are determined to y'nji.ate tueir
principles, their self-respect, and tbei.' claims

Buffalo Republic says" The Convention
we are ass red, viii be composed Of some
of the ablest and purest Democrats in the
state"

James Buchanan on the Wilmot Proviso-An
Old Bachelors Anxiety about Poor Women
when they Retire to Rest-what the South
Seriously Intends to Do when the Poor wo-
men Retire to Rest.
The following letter from the candidate of
the BUCCANEERS made its appearance in 1850.
It has lost nothing by age:
WHEAILAND, near Lancaster,
March IL, 1850. ~
My dear Sir: have received your kind
letter of the 4th inst, and l can assure you
that feel a particular desire to visit the
ever-faithful Democratic county of Greene
When in the West, last fall, had deter
mined to pass part of the winter in New
Orleans, and on my return home to pay you
a visit. The purpose was defeated by the
alarming aspect which the slavery question
had assumed; and my consequent desire to
remain at home where might be useful. At
what particular time may be with you it 6
Impossible to say at present but you may
rest assured that I shall embrace the first
opportunity of paying a visit which l anti
cipate with no ordinary pleasure.
have passed a month in Washington this
winter, and there witnessed state of feel
ing on the subject of slavery and the Union.
which no man at distance could Justly
appreciate. Had the Wilmot Proviso be-
come law, or had slavery been abolished in
the District of Columbia, nothing short of a
special nterposition of Divine Providence
could have prevented the secession of most
if not all of the slaseholding states of the
Union.
am far from saying that either or both
of those causes would have justified so
dreadful result; but the South have been
goaded into madness by long-continued as
saults of Northern fanatics and aboltionists.
They now feel that their personal security
is in danger, and in portions of the Souih
many poor woman retires to rest at night
under dreadful apprehensions of what may
beial herself and her family before morning.
Should this state of things continue, the
Southern people will soon begin to seriously
calculate the value of the Union.
The danger is yet far from having passed
away but it has been most happily a,erted
for the present, by the vote in our House of
| Representatives refusing to consider the
Wllmot ProviSo resolutions Of instruction,
followed, as it was, 10y the vote of the House
of Representatives at Washington, laying the
subject on the table.
From present appearances entertain good
hopes that all the distracting and dangerous
questions arising out of slavery, which noW
agitate the country, may be settled before
the termination of the present session Of
Congress.
Very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

DESPERATE Afidavits arepub-
lished in the Tampa (Florida) Peninsula,
disclosing the fact that band of whtem mon
have been organized in Hillsboroush and
Manatee COUNTIES for the purpose of commit

The disclosures were made by man named
VIM. II. Willingham, who gives the names

SPLENDID WINTER GRAIN.-We have in
our Office sheaf Of winter wheat Just har-
vested upon the farm of S. Powers, Esq, ten
miles below St. Paul on the Point Douglas
road, which we defy any acknowledged "su-
perior wheat-growing region" in the United
States or Canada to excel. 1t is calculated
that the field of thirty acres from which this
sheaf was taken, will yield at least forty
bushels to the acre. Mr. Powers has also
left with us a sheaf of rye from an adjoin-
ing field, which is just as good as can be
raised in Pennsylvania or OHIO. The win
ter grain question is fully settled in Mime
sofa.
IMPORTANT LEGAL DEc4sIoN.-The Su
preme Court has decided, that when a man
imagines his nose to be gas fight and wrings
his ears to shut off the gas, it is to be taken
as prima tacie evidence that he is a common
drunkard, and the burden Of proof rests on
him to establish his innocence of the charge.

built two engines for the railroad between

Staunton road they ran four miles in three

mids OF Egypt, and if it does not rouse thel
