The Coming Wimter-Preparc i'm Time.

The Coming Winter-Prepare in Time.
The following suggestions from the " Y.
Herald, suit equally well to this locality;
they contain truths it will be wise to heed
and we hope will be attended to.
Instead of lamentng over the embarrass.
ments caused by the present monetary panic,
those who are wise will set themselves to
prepare for its after results. Weeping over
misfortunes will not help us to remedy them,
and prudent men will not wait until they are
totally crippled to take measures to provide
against the prOstratiOn and exhaustion that
must follow them.
To mechanics themselves we would say
practice for time the most rigid economy,
deny yourselves everything that your neces-
sites do not absolutely call for, spend no
money on superfluous dress or idle junket-
ing. Recollect taat the lives of your wives
and children depend upon your foresight and
| economy. Every dollar spared now will be
worth ten when the horrors of such winter
as that which We have reason to anticipate
will cone upon you. The mechanic who
gratites unnecessary tastes or appetites in
; presence of the dangers which are threaten
inc bis family, we look upon as criminal.
As the large cities are likely to suiler most,
from the number of sufferers who will crowd
in upon them during the pressure of the Sc
we're season, the municipal authorities should
everywhere take care to anticipate, as far rs
possible, the heavy calls that will be made
upon them. Thus, wherever there are works
in contemplation which are likely to give en-
ployment to the laboring population, steps
should be taken to complete the arrange
mcnts for putting them into operation. 1t is
better to pay large sums for useful or even
ornamental works than to dole them out !"
elemosynary and by facing the difficulties
that threaten us manfully, and making time
ly provision for them, we may pass even the
winter without having to lament any extra
ordinary aggravation of suffering.

Six years and one month ago yesterday,
the first number Of the WEEKLY MINNEso-

heir existence until the first Of the present
month have been, responsibility and mainly,
unde, nv editorial charge. On the first day
of October, 1857, all my business interest
connected with the .Minnesotian establish
ment ceased; and since that time my edi-
torial connection with the same has been
merely nominal.
This retirement from one Of the most Ia
bcrious professions Of life is entirely volun-
tary act Of my own, and for the consumma-
ton Of which have labored for the past two
years. But this labor has not been perform
ed with any feelings of disregard 10 the great

firm advocate in me while life remains

to more quiet and more retired pursuits-the
occupation of my earliest educatiOn-alOne

The cid and tried friends of the Mirneso-

With kind thanks for all the manifold IA

CD. GrLrrLAS, ESQ., regret much of
not being able to give you better report
from this county. Four precincts are MAX
ing a Democratic majority of 33 votes; Red
Wood and Yellow Medicine precincts yet to
be heard from; they may give Democratic
majority of about so to IS votes. At Red
Wood precinct Republicans were not allowed
to vote, which we are able to prove by two
witnesses.
We had the satisfaction of having tried
our best in this county, and had been in
hopes to give Republican majority. Dem
ocratic voting was done. to great extent,
by whisky-the great remedy of Democracy.

We learn that the official canvass in Good
hue c.unty, establishes Ramsey's majority at
GOA votes Gallant Goodhue She is the
banner county of Republicanism in this con-
test. She comes within AZ votes of offset
ting the majority for Sibley in Ramsey coun-

was named, was alive now, he would swing
his hat and hurrah for Ramsey and for
"Goodhue' with the rest /!

The BOrup & Cakes Bank Suspension.


The suspension of the banking house of
BoRUp & CAKES, which astounded the COM
munity yesterday, was occasioned, we learn.
by "great Losses incurred in advances made
by them in the East, to meet drafts" 1t is
reported that they suffered heavily by the
downfall of the Ohio Life and Trust Compa-
ny. Those losses, and the general pressure,
which renders collections nearly impossible,
has compelled them, in order to protect their
depositors. to suspend payment for the pres
ent. Their assignee is II. c. SANFORD, whose
card, in another column, shows that their de-
positors will be promptly paid every dollar
due them. Since the 10Th of September
Messrs. BoRUP & CAKES have paid out
S1S5,000-a formidable drain in these times,
when it is all out-go and little income. We
join in both the regret and the hope expressed
by the Pioneer, in the following concluding
paragraph of its article yesterday
awe regret, in common with all our citi-
zens. the suspension Of Messrs. Borup &
Cakes. Their action has been in the highest
degree honorable at this time they possess
the confidence of the people Of St. Paul to a
greater extent, we may say, than ever be-
fore. We hope they will soon be enabled to
resume business"

We know that the Democracy expect
heavy vote from the Lake Shore, and no
doubt great frauds have been perpetrated-
everybody expects it-but we do not believe
this heavy majority can be overcome. We

county, we know that he must be.-Sill,ca-

1twould be indeed most gratifying to know
that Mr.. Mcmillan was chosen Judge of the

blest work of God, an honest man, the people
of the St. Croix, could we'll rejoice with an
exceeding great joy.

a SAD BUSINESS TRULy.-The Columbia.
South Carolina, Times thus records one of
the melancholy results of sending young men
to the north to be educated. 1t is a sad c,,se
truly:
"A highly respectable and wealthy plan
ter in an adjoining district, sent one of his
sons, an intelligent youth, to a northern
school to be educated. After remaining some
years, he took religious turn-studied div
unity, and was admitted to orders in the Epis-
copal Church. At his fathers death, which
took place some time after, SO thoroughly
had the young mans mind been fascinated
by his northern preceptors and associates,
that it was with the utmost difficulty he
could be precented from manumitting the negroes
that fell to him from his fathers estate. He
now resides altogether at the North, aliena-
ted from the society. if not the Affect ms, of
every member of his family. Numerous SINH.
lcr instances have occurred, showing the
danger of sending Southern youths to be ed.
ucated at Northern schools"

Todd County,.

This county, on the Upper Mississippi riv-
er, which has been down on our table, at
100 majority for Sibley, as was reported by
the bogus express, has probably gone for
Ramsey. 1t is not known, that there is more
than one precinct in it, that Of Long Prairie,
which was the former seat of the Winnebago
Agency before their removal up the Mime
sofa. The official report from Long Prairie
has been received at the Territorial Secreta-
ry's Office, and shows ID votes for Ramsey to
2 votes for Sibley. This is good as far as it
goes.
