England and India.

Referring to the determination of the Bril-
fish government to send steam squadron to
India, with troops and munitions adequate
to meet the crisis now pending there, the
London Times significantly remarks:
Let there not exist any self-deception as
to the real nature of the contest upon which
we have just entered. The result is certain
success If we do but use the. means at our
disposal with Judgment and energy, but it
would be difficult to exaggerate the lmpor-
lance of the crisis. So much of India re-
mains still British India as is under the con-
troll Of the awe of British troops, but not a
square league more. Let us at least act upon
this conviction as the surest earnest of a
speedy success. For long time past it has
been whispered among men who had expo
rience of Indian affairs that sooner or later
India would revolt from our rule, and perhaps
be lost to us forever. The first part of the
prophecy is fulfilled, or in course of fulfill
ment. 1t rest with ourselves to avert the
latter and more formidable eviL''

A Reverend FOrger.

Messrs. GooDRICH and MILLS, of the Pho
meer, are absent, and that journal is now edi-
torially in the hands of Rec. o JOHN PENMAN.
In his issue of yesterday, this miserable
substitute for gentlemen, who at least are
never guilty of criminal misdemeanor in
their editorial columns, copies an article pur-
porting to come from the .Ninxesotiam of Sat-
urday, which is base forgery. This politico-
religious bowler among the Sham Democracy,
who puts up his sanctimonious hands and
raises his hypocritical yoice in prayer every
morning, as chaplain of the West End Con-
vention, it thus appears is capable of walk
ing from thence straight to his editorial sane
tum and committing deed Of most rascally
infamy, and proclaiming his shame to the
world on the Sabbath morning!
Our readers here have an insight into the
heart of the Rec. JOHN PENMAN, "Democrat-
ic' Minister of the Gospel, and one of the
pet leaders of the partyin St. Paul.

l have travelled over good portion of the
southwestern part of the country, and never
saw any country that could compare with

l found land marks again, found myself at the

two days after getting in.
We have laid out two more town sites:
one of them on the Cottonwood river, and
the other on the Minnesota river. have

saw Scarlet Points Ink -pa-du-ta's) band at
Skunk Lake. They killed three of his men,
and took two women and child prisoners
They say they stripped the squaws naked,
and turned them adrift-this is the report
They say that old Scarlet Point was not with
the party they met. 1 think the country
will have to be secured before they will be-
have themselves. Still, there is no danger in
travelling over this country now. There is
no excitement here now; everythingis quiet.

Still at his Old Habits.

Rev. PENMAN, of the Pioneer, goes off into
ecstacies, yesterday, at the prospect of q
breaking up in the Republican party in the
State of New York. The day previous, our
reverend neighbor, (who, by the way, "hates
political preachers') had glorifcation all to
himself over the same prospect in Ohio.
The reverend editor, in the case of New
York, in order to prove his prediction, quotes
from the Buffalo Patriot, which he styles q
Republican paper. Now, his reverence knew
at the time he was doing this, that the Pat
riot is not Republican paper, but regular
Know Nothing organ, of the New York ET-
press, Fillmore school.
We say to Bro. PENMAN, as he has often
said from the pulpit-hoping he will excuse
the slight verbal alteration:
"Turn, sinner, turn; why will you lie 2"

Correspondence of the Ninnesotian.

DEAR MINNEsoTIAN :-Have you visited
Lake. Como" this summer2 If not, take a
friends advice and go; you will say that
there is not more pleasant drive out of ST..
Paul. The distance is ort,-about two
miles, (ess l believe by Col. McKenty's new
road,) embracing the most charming land
scape scenery imaginable.
In company with some friends, ! visited
the Lake few days since, and we were per-
fectly charmed.
Lake Como is pure sheet of crystal, sur
rounded by fine pebbly shore and highly
artistic scenery; here, a small group of forest
trees; there, a sloping, natural. lawn, stud
ded with sheep and cattle. There are, 100
some of the most inviting hooks for the Eary
angler, and such pretty building sites; we
all envied the possessor of one very fine
house, and grounds, tastefully laid out on the
Lake shore.
Our pleasure on this trip was greatly en-
HANGED by the kindness of Col. McKenty,
who allowed us the use of his splendid yacht
Pauline" and our thoughts reverted to the
poet while gliding DER
"that lucid lake,
Upon whose banks. admitted souls
Their first sweet thought of glory take"
Truly your friend,
ST. PAUL.

The COUNCIL, AND WHAT THEY DID,
THE Market subject had another overhaul
ing at the last meeting. The Council Or
dered that the Market Honse should be put
into repair, and that the vegetable dealers
stalls On the outside the Market be rented
for s. per month.
Alderman McGrorty then moved that the
resolution passed some weeks before, de-
creasing the police force, be rescinded. The
Council adjourned without action on it but
it is to be hoped that it will pass. The po-
lice force seems, beyond doubt, to need aug
mentation and if good officers can be got on
it ought to be done. Cur city is in laman-
table state, now, as regards crime, ard few
good officers are badly needed.
The fire limit ordinance elected long
discu son. As we mentioned in another
place, it was finally laid on the table.
But little business of any Importance was
done
