city should have neat, nicely printed card

out the country. It facilitates business
and at the same time brings their name be-

cure. This fact is being appreciated, and
we are daily printing piles of cards for our

Every business man should have his card,
and the Gazette Steam Printing Office is

The PaospEc~s OF M1NSEsorA.-Goy-
ernor German, in his late message to the
Minnesota Legislature, estimates the pop
ulation Of the Territory 1T 10000. he an
nounces that the President has given notice
tina, the tribes OF Indians now residing IN
that Territory cannot be disturbed and sent
farther west. All the tribes are peaceable
and friendly. Nearly every village IN the
Territory has u school for the education OF
small children, and the colleges and SEM
Inaries of learning in st. Paul are in
aourshng condition. The Territorial Uni
versity located at st. Anthony, has not
progressed since last year for want of funds.
Twenty thousand acres Of land, partly
agricultural and partly pine, have been
chosen for school purposes already. Ihe
Governor suggests the necessity of gov
eminent road from Lake Superior to the
Mississippi river above st. Anthony, and OF
d military road to reach Fort Ridgely' the
Sioux agency, and the rev fort at 'emoina'
from some point below Lake Pepln.

LOCAL MATTERS.

Coz. WALKER.-Col Walker and his
exploits seems to be fayorite theme with
our New York correspondent, and his letter
in to-day's paper gives quite an extensive
historical sketch Of that individuals pro-
ceedings. The account is drawn up some
what con amore, and rather rose-eolored
tint is given to the career Of the adventur-
Gus filibuster; but it is intrinsically int
ing, aud no one knows to what important
events the present enterprise OF the Colone |
may be the introduction. AT all events,
we apprehend that our readers can easily
discriminate between right and wrong, and
are not likely to be betrayed into pruising
the latter by the achievements, however
brilliant or successful, of the invader OF Mic
aragua.

Washington Items via New York.

New YORK, Feb. 5.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
telegraphs, "Mr Banks gave evidence to-
day of deep determination to hold tight
rein, and preserve order. He seems per
fectly at home, and no doubt will make a
popular Speaker.
His Excellency, Col. P. II. French Min
lister from Nicaragua, appeared in the House
to-day. In few days he will present his
credentials, and will insist on an immediate
recogntign. Mr.. Marcy is satisfied of the
stability OF Walkers Government, but per-
sonal objections toCol French may prevent
his recognition as Minister.
The Government has determined to issu
Col. Fremont a patent for his Maraposa
grant, but delay is necessary to procure
duplicate survey from California The orig
inal papers have been purloined from the
General Land Office"
The Courier e. Enquirer's correspondent
telegraphs that the nomination of Mr.. Dial.
las as Minister to England was confirmed
to-day, without opposition. The nomna.
ton of Judges Cato, OF Albany, and Berill,
Of Pa, for Kansas, were also confirmed.
Gov. 6hannon's nomination was favorably
reported upon. The motion to confirm was
opposed by Mr.. Wilson and others, and laid
over. A struggle will be made to discuss
it in open session.
Mr.. Douglas has written to postpone all
