Tha New $40 Of MInnogota.

The Chicago Tribune says Of this Ter
ritory:
The Eastern division contains nearly
the whole population Of the Territory,
which is believed to number 100000
ouls at the present time. The increase
of population is exceedingly rapid The
new State will very probably number
halfa million at the census Of 1860 No
part of the West is receiving a more in
telligent or valuable class Of emigrants
than Minnesota. The climate is the de-
light of the New Englander-the soil is
exceedingly fertile-the beauty of the
natural scenery is not surpassed in any
portion of the Union. The natural pro-
duotions embrace all lho valuable grains,
grasses, vegetables and fruits grown in
Wisconsin. Thousands ofthe most beau
tiful crystal lukes-large and small-are
scattered over it's surface, feeding brooks
creeks and rivers Water power abound'
in every direction, and timber is com
paratiyely abundant

"If" said John Bowldor, ga man
were to 60 from the northern to the
southern extremity Of the country, with
his eyes shut and his ears open, he
would think that the country was sink,

if he were to return with his ears shut

that he had the greatest reason to be
thankful for our prosperity"

THE Fort SMELLING SwINDLE.-Tho

Early IN the next session Of Congress

States below. He declares, as we un
dcrstand, that he was himself in CORES

The chief alienation Of the present
financial difficulties Csays the Boston
Courier is to be found in the fall Of
prices now going on, and which must
continue until the necessarios of life
reach a proper level Of cost. The infa-
ted charges made for all such articles,
for several years past, have been symp-
toms Of the disease, not the health Of
pecuniary affairs, which has just reach
ed its crisis. They have compelled per
sons in our cities, in great numbers, to
incur expenditures beyond their means;
and it has been hard struggle with very
many, not merely to keep up aPPearan-
ces, but to subsist in comfort. The
condition Of things will be much moro
healthy as these prices 60 down. To
persons in moderate circumstances, anC
to the poor, the blessing of a change IT
this respect will lie incalculable. Re
cent prices have been founded on NJ
permanent reasons, but were spasmodi,
and unnatural, and the idea ought t,
be scdulously contemplated and insist
ed upon, of a general reduction, to las
far beyond the severity Of the prcson
pinch.

The Victory Of "Prioress" in Eng.
land.


In the recent great race in England
won by the American mare, "Prioross,' y
thirty-four horses contended for the vic
tory. Among them, it is stated, was
" Fisherman" a renowned raco-horse
who the week previous won the Emper
ors plate in France, and was considered
the best racorin England. The distance
run was two miles and a quarter and
twenty-cigat yards. The first heat wa s
a tic between three horses, Prioress and
two others, but cn the second trial, the
mare came out a full length and hall
ahead, The time is not yet given. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
Priorcss carried considerably less weight
than some Of her competitors. Fisher
man, for instance, carried 129 pounds
while the mare carried but 92 Both
horses are about the same age, q years J
but the rules Of the race required odds
in weight to be given according to the
previous performances Of the horses.
This Of course gave Prioress the adyan-
tagc Had she carried the same weight
as her competitors Of equal age, perhaps
the result might have been different

MARRIAGE AMONG SLAyEs.-At the
last meeting Of the South Carolina Bap-
tist Association a committee Of five
clergymen submitted a labored report
upon the marriage of slaves. Their con-
clusion is that slaves cannot be held to
the Christian rule in respect to marriage;
and that in case Of removal they may
fomako one wife and take another. The
Christianity Of Slavery is very peculiar.
