WORKING AND THINKING. 1t q no less
fatal error to despise labor, when regulated
by intellect, than to value it for its own
sake. We are always in those days trying
to separate the two We want one man to be
always thinking, and another to be always
working; and we call one gentleman and
the other an operative. Whereas the work
man ought often to be thinking, and the
thinker ought often to be working aud both
should be gedtlemen, in the best sense. As
it is, we make both ungentle, the one envJ-
ing, the other despising his brother; and
the mass of society is made up of morbid
thinkers and miserable workers. Now it is
only by labor that thought can be made
healthy, and only by thought that labor
can be made happy; and the two cannot be
separated with impunity All professions
should be liberal, and there should be less
pride felt in popularity of employment, and
more in excellence of achievement. Rus

The people are heartily sick of the wrangline
which disgraced the last session Of our Legisla-
ture, and all they now ask is. that their rights
shall be respected. The first and most important
measure of the session, is the disposition of the
Lands given to us by Congress for Railroad pur-
poses, and no time should be lost in considering
the claims of all parts of the Territory which call
for legislation on this subject. 1t is quite natural
that spirit of competition should arise and
that efforts should be made to secure Depots, and
turn-outs and double-tracks to every prospective
great town in the Territory, but all this should
be no reason why the wheels of legislation should
be blocked and the interests of the people Jep-
ardized. We want straightforward manly
action this session. Petty jealousies should be
discarded, and every Legislator, while seeking to
advance the interests of his own constituents,
should also seek to advance the interests OF the
arhole Territory. The Railroad Grant disposed
of, we can then enter heartily into concerted
action for the promotion of other interests. Shall
we do it or shall this session resemble the last
one and 90 forth to the world as q bundle Of
ordinations and recriminations. .l

Taylor iu Norway.

Bayard Taylor penetrated so far North that
daylight was only two hours long. The sun
arose scarcely more than the breadth Of his disc
over the broad snow plains, and they sunk out
of sight for twenty-five hours. Says Taylor:
Here we ore, at last, entering the Arctic zone,
in the dead of winter, the realization OF a dream
which has often flashed across my mind, when
lounging under the tropical plains, so natural is
it for one extreme to suggest the opposite.
To-day has been day to be remembered: such
glory of twilight splendors for six full hours
was beyond all the charms of daylight in any
zone. We started at seven, with a temperature
of 20 deg. below zero, still keeping up the left
bank of the Torenea. The country now rose
into bold hills, and the features of the scenery
became broad and majestic. The Northern sky
was again pure violet, and pale red tinge from
The prevailing color of the sky slowly brighten
ed into lilac, then into pink, then rose color,
which again gave way into food of splendid
orange when the sun appeared.
Every change of color affects the tone of the
landscape. The woods, so wrapped in snow that
not a green needle was to be seen, took by turns
the hues of the sky, and seemed to give out, ra-
ther than to reflect, the opaescent lustre of the
morning. The sunshine frightened instead of
was not more than 10 above the horizon, throw.
ing level golden light on the hills. The north,
before US was as blue as the Mediterranean, and
the vault of heaven over head, canopied US with
pink. Every object was glorifed and trans6gur-
ed in the glow.
Our road now crossed the river and kept up the
Russian side to place with the charming name
Of Torakankorwa. The afternoon twilight was
even more wonderful than that of the forenoon.
There were broad bands of purple, pure crimson
and intense yellow all fusing together into fiery
orange at the south, while the north became q
semivault of pink, then lilac, and then the soft
est violet. The dazzling Arctic hills particpits-
ted in this play of colors, which did not fade, as
in the south, but stayed, and stayed, as if God
wished to compensate by this twilight glory for
the loss of the day. Nothing in Italy, nothing
in the tropics, equals the magni6cence of these
polar skies. The twilight gave place to moon
light scarcely less brilliant. Our road was hard
ly broken, leading through deep snow, sometimes
on the river, sometimes through close little
glens, hedged in with frs dropping with snow,
fairy Arctic solitudes, white, silent and mystic
rious.

Our Frontier.

! If the citizens Of st. Paul desire to build up
large and influential city, they must provide
means for the defence of our frontier, and just
in proportion as We inspire confidence in those
who reside remotely from US, just in like proper
ton shall we receive the benefit of their trade
Settlers look to st. Paul for help in case of emer-
gency. They expect that we will at least put in
operation the means for their protection, and un-
less we do SO, they will gradually leave the coun-
try and seek some other land where they can be
assured of help when attacked by the Indians
Recent events demonstrate that troops should be
stationed at or near the Watonwan in Blue Earth
County, and that immediate measures should be
taken to inaict summary punishment on those
who committed the recent murders and who now
hold in captivity four white women. II, under
the present excitable state of affairs in the Min
nesota Valley, the troops sent forward by com
mander Smith of Fort Smelling, are Withdrawn,
(and we learn they are) we may rest assured that
hundreds of settlers will leave the beautiful and
prolific soil Of this section Of our Territory for
the States below, where less fears exist. of In
dian massacre. We ask that immediate steps be
taken to send forward and station on our frontier
where the recent Indian difficulties have taken
place, sufficient number of troops to ensure the
safety of the settlers, and we ask, as q common
act of humanity, that either regular troops or
volunteers be sent forth without delay, to rescue
those poor, unfortunate women now in the hands
Of the Savages. No time should be lost in this
matter, and we in St. Paul should urge forward
the movement with the greatest expedition.

ssSPEcK OF WAR PIT is rumored in belliger-

hide our neighbor of the Minnesotian because he
persists in asserting that the said German stated
that in two years "he would SOW grass seed in
the streets of st. Paul." A few days since the
"Senior" saw silver-headed cane coming at him
and he caved. Diplomatic intercourse has ceased
and unless reparation is made, the two chiefs will
be brought into close proximity-and then--well
what then? German has been abused, shame
fully abused by our contemporaries, and notwith-
standing the efforts which have been made by US
to prevent rencontre, we are apprehensive that
serious results will obtain. Next in order is the

Win0na and Her Railroad.

Information derived from one of the earliest
and most influential friends of our Railroad Bill,
convinces US that We have not given due credit
to Winona for the part she took in procuring a
system of roads which is an honor to our Terri.
tory and will tend to give us grand and proud
pre-eminence among the new States of the Union.
The Winona people worked long and arduously
for the grant, and spent thousands of dollars to
get it through Congress. They did SO with full
understanding that the grand trunk west should
start from that point, but in order to harmonic
conflicting interests, a branch road is made to
run from La Crescent, to intersect the main road
at Rochester or some point near by. The real
New York and Erie Railroad of our Empire, is
the road starting from Winona and running west.
This road can be made nearly an air line, and
while the one (the branch) may tend to build up
La Crosse in Wisconsin, the other will tend to
build up Winona in Minnesota, a cons liberation
of some Importance to the citizens of this Terri
tory. Let Winona have her road, which is the
main trunk, for she has fought nobly for it, and
Justly deserves it.

T What do you intend to do with those $50
Indians Who were dancing about "Slocum's
House about twenty miles from Mankato," which
fact was communicated to. the Pioneer by Gre
liable correspondent % Some measures should
be taken to secure those "rascals," sure. And
then again, amt you little injudicious in pub
fishing the fact that four innocent white women
are now enduring all the agonies incident to saw
age barbarity? How is it possible that you can
even suggest that prompt measures be taken to
rescue them? Won't it retard emigration and
injure Real Estate ? And then again, how can
you publish such startling information as the fol-
lowing9 Perhaps Mr.. Brown is frightened, and
makes ssninny'' of himself. Why don't you RI
dicule him for calling for volunteers and troops?
What do ye care if four white women are tortur-
ed and mutilated by the savages-it only affords
us a subject for s'fun''-(vide the Advertiser.)

ssMr. Brown thinks that in all probability they
1.-THE same Indians who killed the whites near
Springfield will kill the families located at the
mouth of the Rock River, as they will be able to
surprise them without dif6culty-the settlers ap-
pretending no danger, and being ignorant OF the
previous murderous conduct Of the band"
And when we are assured of an additional pro-
bability, that this Same band will unite with the
bands on the Missouri, we can readily see that
ssthis grand explosion" ,"-( D1innesotidn) is of a
more serious character than at first apprehended.
We agree most fully with Mr.. Brown, that imme-
date steps should be taken to rescue the prison
ers and prevent any further murders; also to
arrest the murderers and secure the unfortunate
females. Let the Minnesotian chuckle, and the
Advertiser ridicule, they may yet be forced to
admit the correctness of our position, although
they have not even the magnanimity to accord to
us a due degree of "sagacity." 's-''.

We should have primary elections, instead of

be men of undoubted integrity and general ac.
