The LEvEE.-Mr. Smith, we were inform
ed, was preparing to commence work upon
the Levee yesterday, under the amended
contract which has been awarded him by
the Council. At a special meeting of the
Board on Thursday evening last, it was de-
cided that $4,000 should be expended in
each of the three wards, in such manner as,
the Street Commissioners Of the same should
direct, but the improvement of Water street
is to be confined to the limits laid down I'M
Messrs. Cave 4 Chamblin's report, previous
ly adopted-that is from Chestnut to Market
street, and from Minnesota to Broadway.
The remainder of the street, with all that
"fat" hauling and blasting, has been very
properly dispensed with for the present.
Alderman Emerson, after exhausting his
puny efforts to get up big quarrel between
the upper and lower extremes of the city,
has finally succombed to this last arrange
ment; and we hope the matter is now def
nitely settled. This being the case, we deem
it unnecessary to publish well written COM
munication from Patrick Nash, Esq, which
has been in our possession for several days;
and which rips the original report of Emer-,
son and the city Surveyor "clear over Jor-
don.' ~.>-. -, =
Our columns, from the day the Minneso-
ton first drew breath, bear witness that we
have always worked for the interests of St..
Paul as q ~hole; and we shall continue to
treat all future narrow-minded and sectional
attempts to injure her credit and general
prosperity, just as we did this levee matter
let who may be the selfish conspirators
against the city's veal.

The Brooks Assault Case.
WAsHINGTON, June 80

W ASHINGTON, JUHe 0O
Brooks appeared this morning at the
Criminal Court accompanied by Messrs. Orr
and keitt.
The witnesses were discharged until fur
ther notice, in consequence Of the District
Attorney receiving note from Mr.. Sumner,
stating that his physician did not think it
prudent for him to attend at present, owing
to the condition of his health.

will be abandoned for something more
plausible and less severe. He is to report

city which had it originally been committed

CaicsgO Kansas Emigrants.
ST, LOUIS. June %,

ST. LOUIS, June e.
BY the steamer Edinburg from Missouri
river we learn that the Star of the West
with Chicago company of Kansas emigrants
was boarded on her arrival at Westport by
party of men who arrested the whole conf
pany, and intended to escort them back the
same way they came instead of letting them
enter the Territory. Later intelligence says
the Star of the West is on her return, and
will land the Chicagoans at Alton. They
are under guard of party of Carolinians.

California.


The last arrival from California brings
news, as was expected, of the execution by
the Vigilance Committee, of easy and Cora.
The solemn scene took place at San Fransis-
co, on the day Of Mr.. Kings funeral, the
editor who was murdered by easy. (
On the same day the Prize Fighting bully
and notorious criminal " Yankee Sullivan. y
committed suicide in the prison-cells of the
Committee, where hewas confined, awaiting,
as he thought, similar fate to that of his
comrades, easy and Cora.
Gov. johnson had issued proclamation,
calling oct the Militia to suppress the or
ganization Of the Vigilance Committee, but
it was thought by the best informed Journals
of the State, that the Governors summons
would fall powerless at the feet of the people.
This is horrible state of things, but it is
only the natural working of party organi-
zation in any government, which sends mur-
derers to Congress and elects judicial and
executive officers in the home government:
who connive at the most damnine deeds O
robbery and bloodshed.

GERMAN PIc.-As we were driving near
The upper end of St. Anthony street, towards
evening Of the 4th inst, we saw written in
rude German characters, on a board attach
ed to Mr. Selby's fence "Zum Pich Nich.''
Not knowing word of German, we very
naturally, and as the sequel showed, wisely
concluded that liberal translation might
indicate that there was asome Pic Mic" in
the neighborhood COR thereabo1ts.' Sc
winding our way up the Avenue few rods
above the residence of Mr.. Rice, We found
an encampment where large congregation
of" Faderlanders" had been enjoying them
selves in the thick Grove in that vicinity
A most excellent band cf music was in at
tendance, and everything with went off har-
monious and hilarious, and with sufficient
degree of quietness consistent with the ra-
tional observance of Independence Day.

The SAFE OF THE ATLANTIC Raised
The Detroit Tribune of Friday says that this
safe has been raised:
The recovery was successfully made last
Sunday. For some time past party OF
divers with sub marine armor, some Of
them from New York, have been at work
and at length succeeded in reaching the mes
senger's room and in fastening securely to
the handles of the safe, which was then
hauled up. 1t contained $50, 900 in money
-$5 900 in gold, the balance in bills. The
new bills, we are told, are comparatively un-
injured by their long exposure to dampness,
but the old ones are much injured and de-
faced-whether so much so as to prevent re-
demption, we have not learned.

Fremont AT THE SOUTH.-The Richmond
Va.) Wing says that Col. Fremont is a man
of action, whose past career, though want
ing in the display of those qualities which
become the statesman, is full of adventure,
hardships, perils by land and sea, hair-breadth
escapes and all that. Tie Wing adds there
is hardly doubt he will run well in the
North, and it expresses its misgivings that
the election will be thrown into the House
of Representatives. 1t pictures Fremont as
a man of courage, and says that his nomina-
ton is a striking illustration of the adroit-
ness and sagacity with which all the schemes
of the Republicans have been conductcd-
The Savannah Georgian is not able to con-
tain its rage. 1t wonders why the earth
about Savannah (Frcmont's birthplace) did
not quake with indignation at the unparalleled
outrage, &c. The Southern journals gene
rally seem to fancy they must, as a matter
of course, call Fremont and his party trail
tors, conspirators and the like.
