EMlsRANrs,

We wish it distinctly understood BY our readers
and Others, that the closing Of tho Land oces, in
this Territory, does not debat actual seslsys from
locating on the lands. AZ soon as the lines OF the
Railroads are definitely located, then every other
section, to which no pre.emption right attaches,
belongs to the company, provided there j. not an
act'a! settlement on said section before the line,
are drawn, and in such case, the parties will be
Obliged to pay $3.50 per acre. No person has a
right to locate on section Of land belonging, to
the company, after the lines are drawn, for then
they have complied with the Law and the proper
ty is rightfully theirs,

Disagreeabe as this alternative may be to the

i Is. Thomas NJ. Newson of the Times, was ca
ed to respond TO a toast complimentary to Henry
N. Rice, Gen. Shields and Robert Toombs, for
their exertions in getting through Congress the
bill for grant of lands. The speaker stated that
be was willing to ignore politics on such ques-
ton this, and render due tribute to all those,
whether from the North, South, East or West
who gave their votes to aid in building up the
future great and prosperous State of Minnesota.

should respond to this toast, he did so by assert
ing his entire ignorance of the whole subject, but
concluded with well merited tribute to woman

virtues, and her influence.

Horace Greeley has been lecturing in the Western
States below US, and here is an extract from one
of his last letters to his paper--the Tribune. +

increase would be still greater. 81. '1
But the number of Inhabitants in one of these
new western communities does not fully exhibit
their relative strength and power. The inhabi-
tapts Of these new states and territories near

Mr.. GreeIey's estimste Of the future increase
in the Northwest, is, we think, rather below than
beyond the mark. Never were there 90 extensive
preparations to come West being made, as thi'
