FRIEND OwENs:-The season is rolling off
on the wings of time with it's usual correct
ness, and there yet remains but twenty-nine
days of the stern New England Winters
blasts, and yet snow storms continue with
marked avidity; from end to end of the Bay
State howls the fierce winds of the ocean,
All! methinks hear experience and aknowl=
edge of home Winters say: give me back the
calm, though cold, yet healthy climate of
Minnesota. In all parts of the East, cold
weather prevails, SO that the frost-bitten
"Cloudy Water" of the Northwest need not
complain.
The strip of paper on which write you
at this time, is what the owner of it, Re
porter of Boston," says is the "long strips"
You must not think that by my being found
now and then in a newspaper Office, and
enthusiastically writing few words, that
| have become paper scribbler. No, indeed
Boston and all New England or even Near
aqua and Honduras, with all it's glittering
prospects of wealth and fame, could dissuade
me from my home and the endearing associ.
atoms of Minnesota.
"There is an element that we call Agita-
ton + Such is the opening words of a Gel
ebrated man of letters, in his recently de-
livered lecture on "Agitation." Conserva-
tism, Anne icanism and Republicanism was
the general theme, and I think if some Of
the agitators of St. Patti could have heard it
they would become better men and better
politicians; consequently be good Republi
cams and sound on questions of their OWL
country's honor. To Agitation is attributed
the steadfast men of the country; the mer
who stand firm from all the outside offerings
of the stricken demagogue and the tired-out
ofice-seeker at the door of Congress.
The great men of the nation remain in 8
disorgahized state; they need more Agita
ton, and less of disposition to make de-
batting school of the House of Congress-
Orr, of South Carolina, of course had te
take up the wane Of Richardson; and as all
might know, the ballotings have resulted III
the astonishing and highly Important" Nc
Speaker yet. 100 necessary for choice"-
This is news no doubt for you, at the ex-
IRENE verge of America. You should pro.
claim ten days. later news from the seat o.
dispute. Awful condition of the Neb-raskais
The disorganization of the House allows the
recipients Of the appropriations time to fully
consider the chances of disposine of the
same, should they finally succeed in Their
visit to the halls of the nations. Minnesota
ans have ample time to carry the complete
consummation of their plans of forming
schemes for Indian traffic, plans for new
roads and additional grants for Railroad pur
poses, assisted by our indefatigable Delegate
They have time for fair deliberation and
hope they may do much good for the Terri
tory and honor to themselves
The whole country is frequently asitated
upon subject of War or Peace, and before
correct statement is given, the frontier is
astounded by the alarming intelligence of &
great war with Europe, or of some Other
startling incident.
The country at this end feels more cngag
ed as to Nicaragua than to her Britannia Ma
jesty's affairs with Russia.
Central America is now the rage; books
upon the golden chances of fortune and DO
litical prcferment are now printed and read
with intense interest; and the adventure is
succeeding notwithstanding the Northern
Light detention. Boston is not known, how.
ever, in these pursuits, nor is old Philadel-
phia. New York alone lends aid to such as
seem enterprising.
The late arrival of the Star of the West
brings us the intelligence of Gen. Walkers
army being on the increase, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed he will maintain his new gov
eminent, at least for time.
