The Cincinnati Gazette, in speaking of the
alleged discovery of DR.. Hardinge, for the
liquidation of quartz rock, by which process
the least particle of gold or other precious
metal which that rock contains may be ex-
tracted, gives the following information in
relation to the discoverer; CDR. Hardinge
used to be an inhabitant of this city; and
was one of the most ingenious men we ever
knew. We don't know whether he can lioui-
die quartz rock or not, but should not be
surprised at it. We have seen him make
most beautiful marbles of all description
We have Seen him make topaz, SO clear and
beautiful that jewellers could not distinguish
it from the natural ones. Why should he
not dissolve quartz? We suppose the only
question is, whether it can be cheap enough
to be valuable in separating gold? Har-
dinge is man of genius, who might, had his
life been directed in certain channels, been q
most eminent inventor"

Col. Medary has long been one of the lead

been warmly engaged in every contest since
his residence in the State, has given many

MINNESOTUS.

TERRIBLE FAMINE IN NoRwAY.-The
English papers have accounts from Norway,
which give a painful picture of the sufferings
of the Inhabitants of Lapland and the north
part of Ntrway. Owing to failure of the
crops, the inhabitants are in state of starv-
alton. Hundreds are dying daily, and the
living are compelled to subsist as they best
can, on the bark of trees, ground and cooked
with oats. In order to alleviate these suffer-
ings, charitable committees have been organ
lied on the opposite coasts of the Gulf of
Bothnia, to collect contributions in kind,
such as corn, flour, vegetables and spirits,
which will be conveyed to them across the
ice in sledges. As an addition to the suffer-
ing of these poor creatures, the cold is of q
severity rarely experienced even.in these ice
bound countries. - s.;

Keeping up the Fire.

Just before the adjournment of the Leg

when the editors of the country press hear
of the obstinate course" of the minority il

from the Owatonna Waterman, of the 18th

ADJOURNMENT OF OUR LEGISLATURE
On Saturday, March eth, 1857, at midnight,
the Legislature of Minnesota adjourned,
completing its 9th session, having accom-
plished very little business for the people of
the Territory. or that would tend to their
benefit. Much the greatest portion of the
time has been spent in futile endeavor to
build up the interests of ST. Peter, enhan-
cling the value of lots, to the particular ben
efit and advantage of those interested as
proprietorS of the town, by the location of
the Capital at that place; that the measure
was defeated at this time, is without doubt an
advantage to the Territory, at large, and will
have great influence upon future legislative
bodies, as none are so foolish as to rush
to certain destruction on questions so shall
flow and unimportant as was this, without
first getting the wishes of the people ex-
pressed on the subject.
The final closing scene is described as
rich, and full of import, to those SO very
anxious to effect the removal SO contrary to
the Organic Act of the Territory, and as it
has turned out, so directly opposed to the
best interests of Southern Minnesota gene
rally, and to the local interests of the whole
Territory, by preventing the passage of acts
parts of the land.
One OF the greatest of these, is the defeat
OF the Census Bill" measure of the
greatest importance to a correct and equal
distribution of the Delegates to form aState
Constitution
"We regret exceedingly, its defeat, and
Knowing as we do, that previous to the ex-
element consequent on the attempt to pass
the Capital bill, no objection was raised to
its passage, farther than to provide that each
deleeate should be a resident for six months
previous in the district for which he was
elected, We can but charge that blame rests
somewhere; and on whom shall we charge
it. Let the people interested Judge.
For ourselves, We are free to say, notwith-
standing blame may be justly attributable to
both parties, yet we believe St. Peter infu
ences justly answerable for the greatest share
in producing the defeat of that particular
Bill.
We hope that hereafter, proper considera-
ton will be had in such matters, and in the
carrying out of any project, the rights of the
people will be reserved, and their interests
not Jeopardized, to upbuild personal and
speculative interests.
AS the case now stands, a north and south
line seems inevitable, unless by union of
all interests on that question, and then it is
doubtful, IA
