MINNESOTA PREPARING TO BE STATE
We find in the St. Paul papers the fol-
lowing proclamation from Governor
German:
An extraordinary emergency having
arisen in the affairs of the Territory
of Minnesota, requiring an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature for the purpose
ofproviding by law for holding Courts,
and for enacting such laws as may be
deemed necessary to enable the peo-
pie to form State Constitution, pre-
paratory to being admitted into the
Union as State also, for the pur-
pose OF disposing Of the grant of lands
made by the Congress Of the United
States at its last session. to aid the
Territory of Minnesota in constructing
certain designated railroads therein,
the members of the Council and House
OF Representatives, are therefore requir-

Baker-Alpheus, Jr, of Alabama-who
is introduced to the editors by w. L.
Yancey, thus "goes in:"
But let us neither be disconnected
or flag in our cxertions. What has
been already done is well, and has &C
complished much. Pro-slavery still
survives, and has the mastery in Kan
sas. And are we, who defend, to be
less persistent than our assailants ?
Shall we, besieged in our homes,
hemmed in by an enemy, refuse all
aid, all interest, in the fate of our
brave allies, at the decisive moment,
when the issue is brought full upon us
to conquer or succomb in failure and
defeat?
Kansas will be lost or won in two
months time. The Emancipation agi-
tation has already been started by a
party in Missouri. Resolutions of
Emancipation have been adopted by a
Democratic District Convention in St.
Louis, and if surrounded by free States,
her doom is fixed. Once more we
step back towards our swamps once
more we lose magnificent dominion,
apowerful ally, and our enemies gain

SNOW IN NEW 1ORK.-A TREND OF
ours received letter from Delaware
county, N. Y, dated April l4th, in
which it is stated that the snow on
the ground was thirty-three inches
deep. The roofs of houses, in some
localities, had fallen in from the
weight of snow the trains on the
New York and Erie Road had been
detained, and in the interior all mail
communication had been cut off. The
tail of that comet, probably, had been
switching round, and brushed the
snow from the upper regions to that
part of New York in larger quantities
than the inhabitants thought desirable.
The Franklin IN. " Visitor says
The ground being damp when the
storm commenced, causing much of
the snow to melt the whole amount
which fell is uncertain, but it is esti-
mated by competent judges to have
been four feet. Travel is of course
much impeded. The stage on the
Walton line left that place yesterday
morning at 7 A. NJ, with mixed team
of "horses and CATTLE" and arrived
here at P. NJ, distance, IA miles !;
time, II hours. This time has, we
understand, been beaten by Lady
Suffolk on the Long Island Course.
Snow is generally considered to be of
great benefit to poor farmers, who
cannot afford to buy patent fertilizers
and as the poor farmers are not all
dead yet, we have great reason to be
thankful for so liberal a supply. An
other class Of people who will be glad
to see it are the raftsmen, who have
been waiting some time for freshet

]y cut off, and became the thankful re-
cipients of such crumbs of favor as
could be picked up around the doors
of their good friends of the human
family. We have faithfully chronicled
the great storms of the season, but
confidently expect to bid the subject
adieu with the present date. If there
should happen to be foot or SO fall in
the course of this or the ensuing
month, we shall pass it unnoticed.
1t will be Of no account.
The stage which left here this
morning for Oneonta was obliged to
return, being unable to force pass
age" We hear of numerous accidents
from snow on the roofs. Many roofs
of houses, barns and sheds are broken
in, and the damage in some cases is
very considerable.
The Rochester, N. Y, papers speak
of great destruction to the fruit trees
by the breaking down of the branches
but the principal disaster caused by
this extraordinary storm, was the de-
struction of the wire suspension bridge
across the Genesee, about three miles
from the centre Of the town. 1t gave
way under the mass of snow about
three o'clock on Tuesday morning,
about sixty feet Of the centre falling
into the river and the remainder at
tached to the cable, hanging from the
banks. The roadway of the bridge
was about 200 feet above the water,
and proceeded in almost straight line
from the top of the high bank on the
one side to the other. The cables
were $50 feet long, and the entire
length Of the bridge was over 700 feet.
1t was calculated to sustain weight
of 1000 tuns.
