AN ENGLISH REvIw OF EMERsoN's ENG
LIsH TTAITs," AND OF "DRED."- he West
minister Review, for October, thus concludes
review of Emerson's last work :-''With
all its faults of exaggeration and indefinite
aim, this is a book we most heartily well
come, glad to read ourselves in picture
drawn by a skillful artist, and still more
glad to have SO much friendliness and gene
rosity disp aged towards us by an American
1t is book which will, we feel sure, do good
on both sides of the Atlantic, and tend to
promote that cordial understanding between
all sections of the Anglo-Saxon race, on
which, in these day, of despotism and con-
fusion, the welfare of mankind so largely de-
pends.''
The same review says of of"Dred."
length we have Mrs. Stoves new novel, and
for the last three weeks there have beer
men, women and children reading it with
rapt attention-laughing and sobbing oveI
it-lingering with delight over its exquisite
landscapes, it's scenes of humOr and ende,
ness, and rude heroism-and glowing with
indignation at its terrible representation o
chartered barbarities. Such a book is an in
controllable power, and critics who follow il
with their objections and reservations-whe
complain that Mrs. Stoves plot is defective
that she has repeated herself, that her bool
is too long and too full ofhymns and religion,
dialogue, and that 1t creates an unfair bias
are something like men pursuing prairie
fire with desultory watering-cans."

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 2, 1855.
What We Want in the way Of Postal
Facilities.

Our Delegate, Mr.. Rice, has been very
punctnal in attending to all demands made
upon him by his constituents, in regard to
the establishment of Post Roads and Pos,
Offices. So far, so good.
But we want, and must haze, as soon as the
order can be given, allowance for daily mail
service between Dubuque and St. Paul.
We believe, when Minnesota petitioned for
this service one year ago, Mr.. Campbell, the
Postmaster General, almost admitted that
such service was really needed, and that he
would certainly order it 'snext winter
which, of course, is this winter, We trust
Mr.. Rice will keep jogging Mr. Campbelps
memory in regard to this fact until the order
is given.
The Post Office of St. Paul is Distribr-
ting Oifice at the present time-so far at
least as the labor is concerned; but the labor
70: doing this extra work is notremunerated.
Why not make Distributing Office at St.
Paul at once? 1t is especially needed for the
accommodation of our people during the win
ter season. This is is fact universally en-
dorsed by the whole Territory.

MoLAssEs FROM THE SUGAR M1LLEr.-At
the last meeting Of the Cincinnati Horticul-
tural Society, Mr. Buchanan read an extract
from letter received, from gentleman and
distinguished agrcuturist of South Carolina,
stating the results of an experiment in pro-
ducing molasses or syrup from sugar millet,
or the grain known as Egyptian corn. The
writer states that he has been grinding on a
primitive mill made under Lis own instruc-
tion, the sugar millet for making SYRUP
Il had half an acre planted, and only ground
enough to try it. 1t will do here, and it will
do also in your climate at Cincinnati. twill
mature sooner tbrn corn, and in any climate
suited to Indian Corn. A fine syrup can be
made of it at a cost of eighteen cents per
gallon. On an acre Of land prepared as you
would work it for sugar-beets or carrots, YOU
can, with less labor than used for corn, grow
enough millet to make five hundred gallons
Of syrup. You can grind and boil three hun
dred and fifty gallons of syrup. l have not
tried it for sugar, and only desire to save
some $3.50 or $500 annually that 1 expended
for molasses for my people. 1t can be kept
for grinding / think it likely to compete
with the sugar-cane of Louisiana. I think it
particularly valuable in your region, and here
after l will give the particulars of my exper-
iment, if you desire it,"
