The Minnesota Valley.

It would seem, to see the Minnesota river
Packets leave our levee-sometimes two
boats per day-that almost the entire emf
grafton this season is bound for location in
that favored quarter of the Territory. There
appears to be no cessation to the tide which
is flowing thitherward. Boats heretofore in
the lower trade, which had not dreamed of
business above St. Paul, are daily pressed
into the Minnesota river service, and with all
this capacity the business keeps ahead of the
boats.
We saw yesterday, going aboard the Luz
ella, the machinery for saw and grist mill
of the largest capacity, to be erected forth
with by Mr.. Pratt at st. Peter. This is but
one of the many similar improvements going
ahead at this time in all the fourishing
towns of the Valley.
But there is plenty of room yet up that
way-as well as in other parts Of the Ter
ritory-for all who may choose to come
We say to all, come on! Come and make
yourselves homes in this favored land of the
North-west-the Great Centre of the con-
tinent of North America.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival Of tho Steamship Atlantic.
~
New YORK, Nav IL.

New York, May IL.
The steamship Atlantic, from Liverpool,
has arrived, with Liverpool dates to the 18th
ult.
The principal feature of the news is the
official publication of the treaty of peace,
and the formal proclamation of peace.
Three appended conventions are also pro-
yided for. The first has reference to the
passage of the Dardanelles the second is
for arranging the details of the naval force
on the Black Sea and the third declaring
that the Aland Isles are not to be fortified.
There is also an important declaration of
maratime law, viz. abolishing privateering,
that neutral flags protect cargoes except
contraband articles, with the addition that
neutral goods under the enemy's flag are
exempt from capture.
The treaty itself is precisely the same as
sent by the last steamer.
The missing articles, Nos. and 6, relate
| to a general amnesty and exchange Of
prisoners and Nos. 7 and 8 give Turkey
admission into the European political system
and secures her.
Important meetings of political parties in
| Parliament have been held, promising trou-
| BILE in the ministry.
A parliamentary blue-book has been pub
| lished, containing all the Central American
documents.
All the protocols accompanying the treaty
| of peace have been laid before Parliament.
Great excitement prevails in the political
circles.
Lord Palmerston had called meeting of
his friends, and the conservatives have also
held a meeting to agree upon the tactics Of
the opposition.
Lord Clarendon has laid before the House
of Lords copy of the treaty of peace, and
moved that it should be taken up on the 5th
of May.

THURSDAY, MAY II, 1856.
The City.

The new city government was fully organ
lied on Tuesday evening, and is now in full
operation. The following selection of Off
GERS was made:
President of the Council-Charles s..
Cave.
City Clerk. P. Cotter.
City Attorney. B. Brisbin.
City Comptroller-Geo. w. Armstrong.
City Surveyor-James A. Case.
Official Newspaper-Pioneer & Democrat
City Physician-Samuel Wiley.
A change takes place in all the Offices with
the exception of the City Attorney, Surveyor
and Physician. Mr.. Cotter, the new City
Clerk, has been in our employ as book-keepeI
and collector for the past six months, and
we will be very much mistaken if he does
not prove an efficient and competent officer
If he keeps the city's affairs as straight at
he does those ofthe Minnesotian office, there
can certainly be no cause of complaint IL
any quarter The Democratic majority o
the Council elected him out of compliment tt
the suggestion of his friend, Mr.. McGroarty
and not for any particular s:rvices ne hat
ever rendered to any party. Mr.. Cotter hal
not, in fact &C injected himself with any pc
litical party, but is simply straight forward
business man, and will make good CITY
Clerk.
Mr.. Armstrong supplants Mr.. Mccormick
as Comptroller. The only fault to be foun'
against the old and ithful officer who is dis
missed was that he is not q democrat
of the modern "Border Ruffian" school. W.
have no fault to find with Mr.. Armstrong;
qualifications, and hope that he will guard tn
city's interests and keep the city's books a
correctly as has Mr.. Mccormick during tn
past two years.
The Pioneer and Democrat succeeds tn
Minnesotian as the official paper OF the city
Campaigners of our age are not apt to com
plain of the fortunes of war, whether favora
BILE or unfavoroble The Pioneer was emit

also, for that matter, which amount
to less than one hundred dollars, unless GU
neighbors feel disposed to "gouge" the tax
payers a little-a trick which we would neve
suspect them of.
We give place to Mayor Becker's Inaugu
ral-a document conceived and written il
good taste, and making suggestions and re
commentators which, if carried out, will
rebound to the honor and prosperity of th
city.
We were not present at this first meeting
of the new Board, but understand that AL
derman Emerson was taken all of a suddel
with fit of holy horror at the impropriet.
of allowing theatrical exhibitions in tn
city, and went in for prohibitory licens
against all such shows. 1t is said that En-
erson has become disguised with all thea
trical people-Since last summer. We hope
however, lie will let up particle, and ALLOW
the rest of us to see the error of our ways.
Upon the whole, our new Government
promises fairly. Let us look on impartially
and see how its members perform.
