We call attention to the advertisement OF l.. NJ
Ford & Co., in our paper of to-day. These gen.
tlemen are the Pioneer Nursery men of this Ter
ritory, and have done more for the introduction
and cultivation of Fruit and Ornamental trees in
Minnesota than all others. Their stock of Trees,
Plants, Shrubbery and Flower Seeds, is by far
the largest and the best selected of any in the
North West. That fine assortment OF shrubs Will
receive the especial attention Of "Mr. and Mrs.

W'We learn that Mr.. German on his return
from the East, having left his official robe behind
him, intends to thrash ESQ he says,) two of the
city editors, for their impudence. Incidentally,
we learn that the gentlemen alluded to, is Owens,
of the Minnesotian, and Goodrich, of the Pho
neer. We know he cant mean Us, for We have
heen1on the very best of terms with his Ex-Ex-
cellency for some time past. Our contemporaries
deserve sound thrashing, for they have abused
and yilliied German in most shameful! man

who is so much their superior. Go it, Governor |!

war in IN. Camp:

2 Our Washington dates of the 18th inform US
that the statement ID erroneous that Gov. Geary's
resignation had been received. The President
has nothing from him. Gen. Cass has received q
telegraphic dispatch from Geary, requesting that
decisive steps be Immediately taken to sustain
him, and indicating his prompt resignstiod as the
alternative. The subject occupied the Cabinet
on the 18th, throughout long and earnest dis
cussion. Mr.. Bucbanan's disposition is to sus-
tain Geary. The Northern Democratic sentiment
there is very decidedly in the same direction
The Southern wing of the Cabinet is understood
to oppose him. -. ~
We also learn from Washington that Col. Ma
nypenny had rendered his resignation, and that
Col. J. B. Stedman, Of Ohio, succeeds him. Ex.
