The Brooks FINE.-Even the National
1ntelligencer, which of late, by its tender.
ness towards the outrages upon Freedom
has so wounded its Northern friends cannot
refrain from expressing its disapprobation Of
the paltry fine by which Judge Crawford
measured the enormity of the assault upon
Senator Sumner. The Intelligencer says:
Touching the judgment of the court, we
are bound to say that it has certainly fallen
short of the public anticipation-not the an
ticipation, still less the wish of partisans Oh
zealots, but of the calm and judicious--men
who are capable of respecting the wounded
sensibilities of a high-spirited gentleman, not
less than public decorum and immunity Of
the Senator and the Senate house."

The Bridge at St. Paul-Direct Road to the
Towns and Settlements South Of rs.
| We earnestly commend the following brief
ly stated facts to theatention of our citizens.
The communication is written by gentle
man who has looked into the matter thor
oughly. The Importance of his suggestions
cannot be too FULLY appreciated: ea
l.sstsA l''-f For the Minnesotisn.
Now that there is certain prospect of the
construction Of bridge across the river at
your point,it seems fitting time to call the
attention of the public toa subject which,
as far as your correspondent has observed,
has been almost entirely neglected by the
advocates of improvements tending to facili-
tate intercommunication between st. Paul
and the surrounding country. ! refer to the
construction Of road from some point oppo-
site the city (of course to be selected with
reference to the location of a bridge) to in
tersect the Government road, leading from
MENDOZA to Mankato, at point some three
or four miles south Of Mendoza.
The road at present travelled between these
points has had little or no labor expended
upon it, and is so bad, particularly at the
ascent of the bluff opposite the city, that
probably one-half of the travel follows the
Government road to Mendoza, crosses the
two ferries at the Fort rosd-thus subjecting
itself to the charge of double ferriage and
four or five miles additional distance rather
than encounter the delay and difficulty of the
shorter route.
When it is further known that the inland
towns of Frribault, Cannon City, North
field, Lakeville, and the large surrounding
scttlements-(with weekly line of mail
stages to Dubuque passing through them,
and the rapidly increasing settlements upon
the Big Sioux road find their only direct
access to St. Paul by this route-and that
in the winter the towns about the south bend
of the Minnesota will avail themselves of
the Big Sioux road for the same object; the
Importance of the construction suggested
will be apparent.
The writer, residing about twenty-four
miles soath Of the city, knows that large
amount of trade is diverted to Hastings and
other towns upon the river-solely upon &C.
count of their easier access-while otherwise
the preference would be given to St. Paul,
in consideration of the greater facilities it
presents for doing business
A little judicious liberality upon the part
of St. Paul capitalists would secure this to
theircity.

speaking of Buchanan, says: "No public

the centre of circle of unprincipled and
restless adventurers, whom men of higher
degree of self-respect avoid. There is some
thing--we suppose it consists in the case
with which it was managed-which attracts
to him the class of persons, and he seems
to be perfectly content with the associations
thus acquired"

The HERALD ON THE TooMBs AND DoUG-
LAS KANSAS BILL-The New York Herald
speaking of the bill which has passed
the Senate to admit Kansas as a State
saws: Our last advices from Kansas show
that Colonel Sumner is doing up the
work with the Free State squatters in fine
style. After establishing Gordon along the
Kansas boundary to keep out the pesti-
lent abolitiorists, the Border Ruffians have
been ably seconded by the President and
Col. Summers artillery and dragons in the
dispersion of the Free State Legislature at
Topeka. The Free State party being thus
completely silenced in Kansas, and every.
thing being ready in the House at Washing
ton for the bill of Mr.. Toombs, now is tht
time to strike for Kansas as slave state
The Senate have paved the way, and in th'
late order for 10000 extra copies of the bill
of Mr.. Toombs, excluding the Freesoil par
ty amendments, they have taken the frs
step for making out good case before th'
psople. Every rational man knows that thi
bill means Kansas as slave state. MI
Toombs is honest enough to admit it (; bu
Mr.. Douglas, Mr.. Senator Bigler of Pennsyl
yania, and Mr.. Pugh of Ohio, deny it, ant
dodge it, and whip the devil round the stum]
at full gallop. Make the bill as pure a
the gospel, and as clear as the truth in favo
of Kansas as free state, and give the exc
cution of the law to Mr.. Pierce, his FIVE com
missioners, his army of dragons and hi
Missouri militia, and Mr.. Toombs will be sat
isfed. The bill means Kansas as slay
state-nothing else."
