SIR ;-1n reply to your letter Of the 18th
ult., I have to inform you that Sec. q, I.
l23 R. 20 west, in the Sank Rrpids Dis
trict, appears to be outside Of the six mile
limits Of the Branch Line of the Minneso-
ia and Pacific Rail Road, and if so your
claim on said Section will be good, provi-
ded you have complied with the pre-emp-
ton laws.
The right of the road attached to the
odd numbered sections within the six mile
limits of the route from the dates of sur
veying, making and stalking off the same,
from point to point, on the face Of the
ground. But the odd sections outside Of
the six and eos4bia, the fifteen mile limits
of said road and branch line continued SUBJ
ject to redemption until the 10th Of Jam
sso,y last, at which time they were selected
for the road by the authorized agent, and
ceased to be pre-emptible, except to per-
sons who had made bona tide settlements
prior to that date.
Very Respectfully, &C.,

Work COMMENCED ON THE TRANSIT
Yesterday the Transit Rail,
roads broke ground on their Road. The
contract has been awarded to Mr.A. De
Croft, reliable contractor Throughout the
United States. The terms Of the contract
are, thirty miles to be graded by the first
day of January, 1859, and seventy-6vc
miles to be graded and fifty in running
condition by the first day Of: January, 1850.
I believe this is the first work done by the
Railroad Companies in our State. About
two thousand people were present, and
speeches and cheers were abundant. Mr..
De Croft has about fifty men ia. work now,
and is adding to the number rapidly. It
is intended to havesa force Of one thou
sand five hundred men at work BY first of
July. .s.r. :. ..,'.. s2..
This is what the people expected when
they voted enthusiastically for the Loan,

Our Prospectus will be found on our
third page, and we ask the friends
Of the freedom Of the press and of the
principles there laid down, to aid us in
maintaining them. We feel that in our
advocacy of them in St. Cloud we have
been milder and more conservative than We
have ever before been in our character Of
writer for the Press. We feel, that except
our large share Of human weakness, our
life has been such as to give no justcause
Of offence to any: - q.
May be we are a fanatic; but no convic-
ton could be stronger in our mind, than
the feeling that the lord has prepared us.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
PHILLIPS, SIMPSON e. CO.'S
N EW NJ A G. A z N E,
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, ART AND POLITICS
IT'S AIM WILL BE

=, & : IT'S AIM WILL BE - s@"ess-@>
FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value, it will also be found that the healthy ap-
petite of the mind for entertainment in it's vari-
GUS forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will
not 20 uncared for. The publishers wish to
say, also, that while native writer's will receive
the most solid encouragement, and will be
mainly relied upon to fill the pages Of the At
LANTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way
they hope to make their Periodical welcome
wherever the English tongue is spoken or read.
SECOND; In the term ART they intend to in
clude the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope
gradually to make this critical department a
true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent Of what it's con-
ductors believe to be the American idea. Ii
will deal frankly with persons and with barties,
endeavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any sect or anties but with that
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private. H@ ..s-,s.. --e::7. -
As an earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they subjoin the following list of literary
persons interested in their enterprise; wishing
it, however, to be distinctly understood that
they shall hope for support from every kind Of
ability which desires the avenue of their col
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense Of intrin-

The proprietors of East St. Cloud have
had an advantageous offer for the greater
part of that property, by New York com
pany. 1t is doubtful if they will accept
it, as last year they refused an offer for
three hundred lots, which, if accepted,
would have made the remainder worth
more than it is all worth now; but it will
require a long course Of persistently bad
management to prevent East St. Cloud
property rising rapidly in value.

The Twenty Fifth National An
ti-Slavery Subscription Festi-

The undersigned who have for so many
years done what they could to promote the
Anti-Slavery cause through the medium Of
the american Anti- iSzavery Society, will,
as usual hold their eTwenty Fifth Ami
7ersary at the close Of the year, with the
same purpose Of still further strengthening
the beneficial influences Of that Society
Moral, religious and fraternal, for the ex-
tension of Slavery.
At the beginning, before the principles
and measures of the cause we're under
stood, we could not, with the slightest hope
of success, ask of the public direct contri-
buttons of money We therefore devised
an annual Bazaar, for the sale of contribu-
tons of articles; and it afforded an oppor-
tunity of great usefulness both permanent
and social, to the cause.
But the changed state of the public
mind now suggests directness in the method
of increasing the usefulness Of this ami
yersary; and we propose this year to give
our usual sums and take up our customary
collections, by direct cash subscriptions !;
and we entreat the friends at home and
abroad, who have hearts to cooperate with
us, to do the same, nothing doubling that
the result will much exceed the sum
($S, 00O raised last year.
To our Southern friends we present this
certainty, with increased hope of their CO.
operation in consequence; for, as noue bet
ter than they, know the extent of the
grief and pain of slavery, so none have a
deeper interest in using the most effectual
means Of putting an end to the common
sin and suffering Of our native land.
The money we have annually raised has
hitherto been used to sustain the Nation
al mti Slavery Standard, the organ of
tbs American Anti Slavery Society. But
by following the recent indications Of the
executive committee of that Society, in
making individual efforts to place that pa
per on selfsupporting subscription basis,
we shall enable the committee to appropri-
ate the result of our efforts to the susten-
tation Of faithful and eloquent lecturers
now so much needed, in far greater num-
hers than ever before " - ,rFotf FL
BY this plan we may accomplish double
the amount of service to our cause; and
thus furnish its friends and our own with
two-fold motive to continue and increase
their contributions. -.
No words from us at this late day are
needed, to stimulate a prudent generosity,
by defining all the means that so to change
the mind and heart Of a great nation on
the central question Of its policy; or to
kindle sublime one, by commentators of
course identified with every thought that
is ennobling and holy, with every hope
that is august and magnificent. with every
idea that is consoling and beautiful, with
every effort that is cnli ghtening and benc

St. Cloud and as far North and West as we have
any reliable account, settlers find no difficulty
in locating land on running stream or trans
parent lake with plenty of timber at hand for
building, fencing and fuel, and as the land on
the West side Of the Upper Mississippi is only
open to presumption, there is little opportunity
for spectators, and settlers have assurance of
neighbors and that rapid increase in the value
of their lands and in social advantages which
arise from the system Of land in limited GUAM
titles to actual settlers.
The country around St.. Cloud, west of the
Mississippi was purchased Of the Indians in q
treaty made with them by Hon. Alexander
Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by
the senate the same year. The Sioux had
owned the land from 1927 but had not occupied
it, and it was used as hunting ground ~ the
Winnebagoes whose land reached within four
miles north of St. Cloud. Their country was
coded to the United States by a treaty began
with Commissioner Manypeny and concluded
at Washington in Feb. 1855 and ratified BY the
Senate March Sd Of the same year. In May
following they removed to their reservation on
the Blue Earth river and only since that time
has Stearns county claimed kindred with civili-
cation. The first house within the corporated
limits of St. Cloud was built by James Hitch
ems, forGeneral Lowry. James Kitchens being
the first white man who slept in house here
is entitled to the distinction of being the cold
est inhabitant." The site Of Lower st. Cloud
was taken up as claim by Martin Woolly, q
Norwegian, who sold his right to George F.
Brott who surveyed md plated it in the spring
OF 30. About the same time John L. Wilson
surveyed and plated what is now called middle
town, which adjoins and lies higher, up the riy-
er, while General Lowry surveyed and plated

The Religious Awakening.

II can hardly have escaped general observation
that there is now being manifested in this city, an
unusual aud increasing attention TO religion re-
markedly earnest state Of feeling on this subiect
has been developing itself for some time past among
all classes Of the community here--from the high.
est TO the lowest-ncuding those out of tho church
as well as those in il. Nor has this quckened in
terest ia religion and this increased attendance on
religious meetings, been in anyN lee confined or
culiar TO this city; for IL extends in equal and
IN many instances, in a still greater degree 10 all
parts Of the country. The exchange newspapers,
both religious and SECULAR that come TO us from all
quarters, speak Of an unwonted revival Of religious
feeling in their vicinity, and in the country far and
near around them. In fact sudden ferver seems
to have seized the public mind. Everywhere men
are crowdng to religious meetings, and the spirit
with which the crowds are impressed, and which
inctes them to so general an attention 70 religion
and religious services, seems to be animating tho
whole land. The revival spreads almost like con-
tagion. IL Is everywhere expected, like an cpl
demic. A meeting is organized in one place, and
in day or two afterward another in sure to follow
in the nearest ncighborhood One church breaks
out into revival, and In few weeks the next in
the village, the town, or the city, follows the
example, until the whole district Is awakened and
aroused. In some instance the enthusiasm seems
TO have spread from place TO place with all the
rapidity OF fire on prairie. IL is believed, for
instance, that as many as a hundred prayer-meet-
ings have been established in different cities and
towns throughout the country, from the single ex.
ample Of the MONDAY meeting held 10 this city in
the "Old North Dutch Church." Not all Of these
meetings are held at the same time of day, or even
daily, yet they have been called into existence T ON
the fact that this was called into existence before
them.
similor religious feeling has not been known
IN this city for twenty-five years. About twenty
five years ago a revival Of great power, which ex-
cited the sympathy and cooperation of great
numbers Of persons, both church members and
others, occurred in New York, though it's extent
and results were far less remarkable than those
which have been already witnessed in the present
instance. Public religious meetings were then
held in unusual places, and at unusual hours and
we're throngingly attended, but We believe that a
midday prayer meeting held in the centre Of the
business circles Of the city, and sustained largely
BY the most prominent business men, is a novelty
that was not then known. In fact, If che idea Of
such meeting had been proposed six months
ago, with any probability that Il would soon be at.
tended to such an extent 10 require three rooms
for the divided and overlooking audience, il would
have been regarded as hardly less than pre-
posterous.

RENT IN TWAIN.

The Democratic party of the North has been
completely rent asunder by the Lecompton
Constitution and the course pursued by the
Administration in attempting to force that con-
stitution upon the people Of Kansas. A con-
test in now going on between the two wings OF
that party in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and other northern and
northwestern States, which is becoming ex-
ceedingly bitter. The Administration are
putting forth all its energies, using all its
patronage, and exerling all its influence to sus-
tain those who stand by them and Lecompton.
Having "the sinews of war;" or that which
will influence, or buy men, and having also on
hand corps Of office-holders who are required
to be active and vigilant rs the price Of their
places, their forces are better supplied and
drilled than those OF their antagonists; but the
latter have numbers on their side, and a fixed
determination not to be driven from their posi-.
ton.
Various conventions have been and are TO
be held by the two wings, which is but mus
tering of their respective forces, and preparing
them for the first great battle which will take
place next fall when the State elections come
off Gov. Walker, Senator Douglas, Gov.
Wise, and Mr.. Stanton, who head the Anti
Lecompton Democracy, are powerful and in
domitabc leaders, and having been denounced
as traitors by the Administration Democracy,
and read out Of the party with curses on their
heads, they are not likely to relax their iForts,
counsel reunion, nor enter into any treaty Of
submission.
We understand Gov. Wise expresses him
self in regard to the Lecompton swindle, and
the course Of his former friend, Mr.. Buchanan
whom he made President in the most unre-
served, strong and condemnatory manner
