NEVER SAY FAIL.
Keep pushing-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and signing
And waiting the tide;
In life's earnest battle
They only prevail,
Who daily march onward
And never say fail.
With an eve ever open,
And a tongue that's not dumb,
And a heart hat will never
To sorrow succumb,
You'll battle and conquer.
Though thousands a~ssail;
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail!
The spirit Of angels
Is active | know,
AS higher and higher
In glory they 60;
Methinks on bright pinions
From heaven they sail
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fail!
Ahead, then, keep pushing,
And elbow your way,
Unheeding the envious
And asses that bray
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom
Who never say fail!
In life's rosy morning, @
Tnmanhood's fair pride,
Let this be the motto
Your footsteps to guide:
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Well onward and conquer,
And never say fail!

Ry permission of the reeiniaat- SAYS the
st. Louis Democrat, I'VE giFe publicity to the
following Characteristic letter from our VEN
cradle ex-senator:
WASHINGTON, March II, 1856.
Ny DEAR SIR:-I have to thank you for
your kind letters and for all the friendly sem
timents expressed, and Of these the persona,
part is the most agreeable. The personal
feelings of my friends toward me is what
have most to cherish hereafter. [ never
saw the day I would be willing to be can
didate for the Presidency, and am now fur
ther from it than ever. No earthly consid-
Grafton could make me candidate. The
Senate was once agreeable to me, when there
was chance to do something for the State
or United States. But that chance seems
now to be over, and all Craftsmanship re-
duced to huT7dh on one side or the other of
Slavery. Even local interests in our State
seem to be crushed under it--as the Pacific
Railroad.
I am now far advanced in my second vol.
The publishers are about 500 pages deep in
the printing, and am q hundred pages ahead
of the compositors in the writing. [ rise at
baybreak and work till midnight, with an
interval of one or two hours on horseback.
AS soon as my work is finished, which will
be sometime in April, shall come to Mis-
souri,, and of course shall have to speak-to
what extent do not know-but certainly
only for the general purpose Of aiding my
friends and the Democratic cause, and with
out any view to a personal consequence.
Congress is no longer desirable to me poll
tics have run down TOO low to have any at
traction for me. Ispent thirty years of my
| life in contest of great princples-of great
measures-of great men, and cannot wear
out the remainder of my days in Slavery
agitation, either on the one side or the other
of it.
have work enough marked out to occupy
the remainder of my life, and of kind to
be pleasant and profitable to me-if not
beneficial to a future generation-which I
| think it may be. 1 propose to abridge the
debates of Congress, from 1889 to 1850 !;
also, to continue my history from 1850 to
the day of my death. This is work enough
for me, and of more dignity Ito say nothing
Of anything else,) than acting part of a
Slavery agitation, which is now the work of
both parties, and which, in my opinion, is to
end disastrously for the Union, let which
side will prevail. A. new, man, unconnected
with the agitation, is what the country
wants.
Your friend,
THOMAS H. BENTON.

TUESDAY MoRING, APRIL 8, 1856
what We Have Eaten.

St. Paul is complaining, and with son
reason, that her population are rather ba,3l
off at the present time for digestable sui
stantials for the dinner table, to say nothin
of luxuries. Saddle-skirt beef at Is and 0
cents per pound, is not the hind of diet OF,
well-lving citizens have been fed upon tn
past winter, as the following meagre stats
tics-hastily collected-will show:
At a moderate estimate, there has been ra
tailed by the provision dealers of St. Pan
during the past winter, 5000 pounds o
venison. Of this quantity, our near neigh.
Dor across the street, Mr.. Gs}laway, dispos
ed of about $4,000 pounds-the product q
two expert hunters, the brothers Holton
whose grounds of deer slaughter are across
the St. Croix in the agacentportion sof Wis
| consin.
Messrs. Salter & Etter, provision dealers
on Third street near Jackson, state thatthev
have sold much larger quantity Of venison
than even Mr.. Galloway; besides disposino
of 300 dozen grouse; any quantity of qSils
pheasants, &C., and tame fowl in the shaDe
of turkeys and chickens without number. \
Burbank & Co., at the Northwestern Ex-
press Office, show us their fresh oyster sales
for the winter at the enormous figure of
$4,830 80! Over four thousand dollars of
this amount has been taken at the st. Paul
office-the remainder at points below here on
the Express route this side of Dubuque
The Express Company also brought to St..
Paul about 1900 dozen of quails on their
own account, besides large quantities of 9TH
er feathered game; and none of it was al
lowed to spoil on their hands.
1t is proper to add, that during the fall
months of 1855, and extending into the
month of December, about $50 barrels of
fresh shell oysters were disposed of in St.
Paul. In this trade, Mr.. Rauch was princi-
pal dealer, having sold at his restaurant near
ly 100 barrels.
AS intimated at the outset, our statistics
of these articles consumed in st. Paul the
past winter, cannot be made out in full
But as far as we have gone, they are nearly
perfect. We thus answer ga leading ques-
ton" of one of our good friends residing in
certain State +" down South" who wished
to know of us the other day, elbow we lived
up here during the late tedious winter ?"-
The above will give him some insight into
tie manner Of passing our eating hours, at
least.
But there are many among US, as in all
cities, who have not been permitted to have
in their cherries homes even a needful sup
ply of coarser diets which our markets
have afforded. Have the partakers of the
luxurious bounties here referred to, always
thought of the Poor when they sat down
each day to their well-filled boards Alas,
we fear not

Opening of Navigation.

Travel by land between St. Paul and the
East and South may be considered as ended
for the season. The opening of river navi-
cation may be considered as commencing
this week, so far as all practical ends of
travelling are concerned.
A letter from member of the Galena,
Dunleith and St. Paul Packet Company, re-
ceived here by the mail of Saturday morn
ing, stated that the Company would despatch
their first boat for the foot of Lake Pcpin on
Saturday last, April 5th: There can scarce
ly be a doubt that the river was clear of ice
by that time between Galena and the Lake !;
if so, the ''first boat" ere this has made her
appearance at Wabasha and Reeds Landing
AS soon as our end of the river is clear of
ice. the Time and Tide and Equator, and
perhaps other boats, will commence making
daily tips between St. Paul and the head o.
the lake Once at either end of the Lake,
messengers will be transported each way,
oSerland, by the Northwestern Express
Company, who are prepared to run sufii-
cient number of comfortable conveyances,
twice day, to accommodate any reasonable
amount of travel The road around the Lake
is one of the best in the Territory-being a
part of the Mendoza and Wabasha Govern
ment road-and is in excellent order. The
Express Company have their teams and We
hicles already upon the ground.
The Packet Company, in addition to the
new boats they are building at Cincinnati,
have purchased the Granite State and Ocean
Wave, two fine and fast steamers, well adap-
ted to this trade. The Company are prepa-
ring to carry out their intention already made
public, of running a sem-daily line this sea-
son.
Capt. A. T. Chamblin, Of st. Paul, will
probably have command of one of these
boats just purchased. He, at least, is to run
one of the boats of the Company.
A gentleman who left Hastings on Satur-
day, confirms the report that the river is
clear of ice below Prescott.
A steady warm rain continued to fall du'
ring Saturday night, and the water is still
rising here.
The Time and Tide is at the foot of Jack
son street, painted, cleaned and newly fur.
nished, and ready to start as soon as the ice
clears ont. Capt. Roberts hopes to get of
this evening.
The ice was not broken at Winona or
Thursday morning last.

~ For the MinDesotian.
The Mails

What, we are forced to ask, Messrs. Ed
itors, is, have we St. Paulites done that w,
should be obliged to submit continually tt
SO many and great impt s:tions Although
living on the frontier, there is no reason, as
Tar as we can see, under existing arrange
ments, why the mGils should not be brought
here as regularly as to other places. Making
all due allowances for the state of the road
at the present time between here and Du-
buque, necessarily very bad, we know,
| there is still no sufficient reason presented.
nor can there, we think, be any, why mails
should occupy nineteen days or more in their
transmission from Baltimore, Washington or
Philadelphia to this roint. The necessity
for regularity in mails is fully as great here
if not greater even, than at the East-it be-
ing utterly impossible for our business men
here to comply with their engagements un-
less they can rely with some certainty upon
the mails. The evil is great one and one
seriously felt by any community.
The fault we think, lies not so much with
the Stage Line, (the trips between here and
Dubuque being necessarily, from the condi-
ton Of things at this particular season of the
year, more or less prolonged,) as with the
respective Postmasters along the route; es-
pecially, we think, at Dubuque and Chicago.
The actual railroad time from Washington
or Baltimore to Chicago is two days; occa-
sionally from detention two and, half, or
possibly three, now, allowing one day for the
trip from Chicago to Dubuque, and two days
"a good margin, We Think for the delay at
the distributing offices along the route, the
whole time to Dubuque should be but five
days, or at the most, six. The present mail
came through to St. Paul from Dubuque in
nine days, leaving five days still to be accoun-
ted for;-the time consumed being ten days,
instead of five, or at most, six.
Abuses such as these should be at once
rectifie anil we think it sufficient to direct
the attention of the Postmaster General to
this subject to insure their prompt correc-
ton. We should not complain in the man.
ner we do, if it were not that we are subject
continually during the entire year, especially
during the winter season, to just such incon-
veniences and delays. CIVIS.

Jones, of the Winona Argus, has come
out OF the warfare which. he unjnstly CON-
menced upon Mr.. Thompson some two months

md the following broadside in the last WI
mona Republican:
WINoSA, March 24th, 1856.
Mr.. EDIToR-In the {" Winona Arp1,s y
OF the 9th OF February find an editorial
upon q bill which introduced into the Conn
Gil, to incorporate the "Winona and Ia Crosse
Railroad Company" in which the Editors
say that they care happy to say but ono
voice was raised against the project, and that
an exceeding small and tery feeble one, viz:
that OF the Rt. Hon. c.. W.. Thompson, Of
Houston County, late Black Republican Rep
resentstive OF Winona and other counfies.'
-, VIII say in reply, that the Hon. C. W.
: thompson said to me some time before in
troduced the bill, that he would support it,
ana that the day it was introduced he was
taken sick, and did not occupy his seat IN
Council but one hour until after it had passed
both Houses, and he did not even read the
bil! until after it had passad;-that his friends
N both Houses supported it, ard believe
ne would have done so if he had been in his
seat, for have not heard of his saving ore
word against its passage, but ON the contra
y have heard him say before and since it's
passage that he intended to vote for the bin.
Ii you will insert this note in the Repub
ican, you will oblige me very much, and do
N act Of justice to one who has been unjust
. attacked by a political Editor acho, THROUGH
'as aariay to isyare a political os,poneiat, has
made statements which l believe to be in
