LATEST NEWS.

The Northern Belle arrived last evening.
The following is the latest from Cincinnati:
Cincinnati, June 3, 6 P. -Buchanan's
friends are very sanguine. He has gained ten
votes of the Ohio delegation. 1t is thought.
however, that under the two-thrd rule which
has been adopted unanimously, it is doubtful
whether he can win. Buchanan has the most
friends, but Douglas has the best workers..
The Pierce men have triumphed in the COM
mittee.

flour. Twenty-Five were soon destroyed, and
subsequently fifty more were rolled into the river,
part of which were saved in damaged state.
Quite feeling exists in consequence of the War

TIE INDIGNATION MEETING.

The large meeting held in front of the Court
House on Friday evening last, (the interior not
being accessible in consequence of the sitting of
the Court,) demonstrated most decidedly, that the
People of this Territory are in favor of Free
Speech. The large crowd listened for three hours
to the remarks Of the Speakers, and as each one
expressed his denunciation of the conduct of
Brooks, earnest applause followed. There was
no disturbance, but general good feeling pre-
vailed. Those who counted on a ''Gzzle'' count
ed without their hosts.

A Washington letter writer says of Gener-
al Sam Houston's late speech in the Senate:
General Houston surprised the Senate to-
day by introducing into that body large bowl
Of coffee, standing upon huge saucer, from
which, as he spoke against the action of the
late Naval Board, he would take sup now
and then. 1t looked more like breakfast
scene in play than anything else.

How THEY WERE kILLED.---It seems that
DR.. Root and Mitchell, OF New Haven, CT,
(most estimable men) were riding in compa-
nv with two other gentlemen, from Lawrence
to Topeka, when they were ordered to stop by
a hand of Border Rufians, which they refus-
ed to do, but put spurs to their horses. The
Ruffians fred, and the two unfortunate men
fell dead. Men Of Connecticut, will you re-
venge their death?

THE MINNESOTA WEEKLY TIMES.
4 HIGH REIDGEt

Shall we have one? This is the question
which at present should attract the attention
of our citizens. 1t is true, charter has been
procured for Bridge, and $4,000 subscribed
to construct the same, but the question which
more Immediately concerns the public is,--what
kind shall it be? Shall low, turn Bridge be
built, that will he continual annoyance to
the boats and prevent many from reaching the
Upper Landing. Or shall We erect high one
from bluff to bluff, which will not only be Il
great ornament to the place, but a great con-
vcnience to pedestrians? The reasons for Il
hlgh bridge are obvious:
|. 1t will not obs,ruct navigation,
,. Spanning the river from bluff to bluff, it
will save ascending and descending to get on
to it,
3. l. viii increase the value Of real estate on
both sides of the river,
4. Its looks will more than recompense for
the additional stock requisite to build it,
5. 1t will pay fifty per cent on the invest
ment.
1t should be borne in mind, that the gentlemen
who compose the Bridge Company, have more
than $4,000 subscribed, which is sufficient to
erect low bridge with draw, but they ale
anxious that the citizens should ail them in
making the amount SiS3, 900 in order that a high
bridge can be constructed. ana all can be bcnc-
fitted thereby. This is matter of considerable
Importance to tie citizens of st. Paul, an.
should enlist their interest. Whatever steps
are taken now viii decide for the future, and
it is highly proper, therefore, that they should
attend the meeting this evening at the Court
House, ana hear the matter discussed. Shall
We have High Low Bridge? Answer!

THIEVES ABour.--The Real Estate Office of
Irvine, Stone & Mccormick, near the Winslow
House, was broken into on Thursday evening, and
the drawers of desk rummaged, but nothing of
moment stolen. An effort was made to open the
safe, but it proved unsuccessful. The thieves
left their tools behind them, which are more valu-
able than the articles taken. They consist of
good sized pine club and piece of steel, about
two feet long.
The Real Estate office of Mr.. Mondelet in
Third street, was also broken into the same nigh
and robbed of several land warrants and the
money drawer.
But short time since gentleman stopping at
the American House was robbed of $1,000
These acts are enough put our citizens ON their
guard band of thieves infestS our city, and it
behooves watchfulness on the part OF all to save
property and detect rogues.

question is often asked us. We answer yes.
We think there is no doubt but Congress will

two years ago--such IA course will harmonic
conflicting interests, and eventually give out

TYRANNY.

A cotemporary well remarks, that tyranny
has appeared in the world in many shapes and
disguises, but never, we believe. in all its bad
aims, so inconsistent in its measures as in the
case Of Kansas. The leading facts are simpl;;
these
!. The Government, by the Nebraska Act
denies its constitutional obligations as guardian
OF the Territories, and sets up Squatter Sow
reign:y in its place. e
2. In electing Legislature, the Missou-
rians rush in. overwhelm the real people, and
make fraudulent laws.
3. The people Of Kansas undertake to ex-
ercise Squatter Sovereignty. by making their
own constitution and laws
A. The Government Of the United States

Well, the election is over, thank goodness!
| This we can say with true heartfelt thanks, if
| The aspect Of the election by the time our pa
per goes to press, does not give US any other
reason to be thankful. Yes, thank heaven, the
election is Owe, whether the country is saved
Or not, and peace and quietness are once more
restored to the breasts of editors, politicians,
stump speakers and ~demagogues generally
The periodical era of defamation and abuse,
has passed-the infectious and polluted cur
rent Of partisan feeling which bore onward
upon its fostering surface, the ragged reputa.
tons Of virtuous and patriotic men, has lost
itself in the great ocean of Time, never TO re.
turn. We are delighted too at the idea, that
if not forever, at least for a long time to come.
we shall hear nothing about squatter sovereign
", the catholic test, and the like; but from
this time forward, we trust that past political
dissensions will be dropped, and a more friend
Iy and sociable feeling will be manifested be-
tween those who have happened to differ hith-
erto upon political subjects. This is the more
important in this section for the reason that
we do not know how soon, for the preserva~
ton Of the constitution and the salvation Of
the Union itself, we may be called upon to
stand shoaIder 10 shoulder, as a bulwark to
resist the surging waves Of fanaticism and sec
tionalism, which may at this moment Of our
writing, have carried the name Of FREMorr
triumphant upon its turbid tide, To which case,
alas there is but little more pe2ee, we fear,
for our people; but on the contrary, in such
an event, our troubles will have but just com
meneed, when there can be but one feeling and
one sentiment with regard to Southern action.

TIE HrGHEsr MOUNTAIN IN THE
WoRLD.-The principal topic of CONVEX
satlon at Calcutta is the discovery of the
highest mountain in the world. At the
meeting of the Asiatic Society of Bengal
on the 9th August, Major ThuiIIier an
nounced that Col. Waugh, Surveyor-Gen-
eraI ofIndia, had completed his compute
lions of the positions and elevations Of
the peaks of the H~imalayas. The result
was to depose the mountain Kanchinjinga
from its throne as the highest point on the
ealth's surface. That distinction belongs
for the present to a peak 100 miles from
Kanchinjinga, and between that mountain
and Kanmandoo. This peak is ascer-
tanned to be 10000 feet above the sea
level; Kapchininga is 25,l56 feet; and
De-walagirl, the mountain which school
Biographies persist in calling the highe7t
mountain in the known WORLD is only
1886 feet. The mountain has no name
ineligible to civilized men, and Col.
Waugh has therefore ventured to de-
nominate it Mount Everest after 4 for
mer encouragement.

The St. Charles Hotel.

We learn by the New Orleans papers that
this magnificent Hotel was never fitted up in
such style and comfort as at present, During
the summer a complete renovation has been
made in the interior furnishings Of this inn
mense ediice. from top to bottom. whilst ma
ny essential improvements. having for their
aim the increased comfort and luxury Of board
ers, have been made !; and with this view, the
large building immediately 10 the rear, fronting
both on Common and Gravier streets, has been
purchashed. connected with the Hotel, and
elegantly fitted up for the accommodation
solely Of the fair sex, or families. This addi~
ton, and other improvements which have been
made with the view of affording greater faci-
iitIes for accommodation, will doubtless ena~
bic the enterprisiDg l%essees, to entertain-and
entertain in a princely manner, too-the i'm
mense crowd Of visitors, from all parts Of the
world, which they may calculate upon during
the season that has just opened. In fact, the
urbanitV, energy and enterprise of Messrs.
HALL & H~TLDRETH-their unceasing desire to
merit the appreciation Of new friends, rs well
as to continue %unimpaired, old friendships and
old associations-merit for them the continued
favor Of the public, and that prosperity which
ever follows such a course. But, in awarding
to the admirable lessees encomiums which they
SO richly deserve, we must not forget the chief
clerk of the establishment, Mfr. HIrcHcocK,
(whom we presume has returned from the
North) who fills with such grace and ability
a post which demands such a versatility Of ta~
lent, and 50 large a share Of human patience.
Messrs. HALL & HnDRETH certainly have an
estimable assistant in the person of Mr.. II. In
this parish they have hosts Of friends, who can
not fail, while remembering the gorgeous and
luxurious St. Charles and its admirable les.
sees, to r~ecoIlect also the assiduity and atten-
tons of their chief clerk.
