The terms on which the State loan of
S2j0,O00 was made by the Governor and
Treasurer Of the State, are better than could
have been reasonably expected. We were
surprised, therefore, 10 notice in the New
York 1y,bunt, . statement that the loan
would, 10 doubt, have gone higher il il had
been properly advertised A letter, howev-
er, which reached here yesterday, from a
prominent house in Wall street, dated the
9Th July, reveals the an,mu Of The 7y,tune
reporter. We extract from this letter the
following:
"Yonr state loan Of $50. 900, was taken by
CLARK, DopyE A Co., ats stb. Of one per cent.
above par. Gov. SfBLKr required deposit Of
fye per cent. Of the law, tti25oo,) In bank, a.
a guaranty, which Was made. The Tribune
was displeased at not having the loan advertised
10 that paper and the commercial reporter
openly said he would get his revenge in the
next issue This accounts for his taking about
better terms. We assure you, II Gov. sELrr
and Mr.. Agx.rR0sg had not been In New York
and explained many points relating 10 the rail.

made by our espiiAlsts nor were any made

In another part Of thcis paper will be found
a report at length Of the proceedings Of a
meeting held at the Fuller House, on
Wednesday, on the subject OF an overland
cmigrant route from st. Paul 10 Frazr
River, in British Oregon The interest
which the discoveries Of gold In that local..
" has excited, has revived to the verge Of q
practical solution the favoritc Minnesota
project Of northern emigrant route 10 the
Pacific. We call special attention 10 the
ample and lucid report Of Mr.. TAYLOR, on
the geographical and Chronological indica.
tons which establish the superiority Of this
route. The whole subject Of the geography
Of the great basin Of the Winnipeg, and Of
it's ailinties with the valleys Of the Missis.
sippi and st. Lawrence, has been for years
specially Of Mr.. TAYLOR, and his report
may be coasiderd an authoritative exposition
Of the whole matter. The report Of Mr..
STEVENS contains gmc valuable practical
suggestions 10 emigrants, and the resolutions
introduced by Mr. MAsrrs McLxoD express
the sense Of all well informed people upon
the advantages u the three northern roa,es
having st. Paul for iheir eastern terminus.

The House, some days ago, passed res
olution limiting the present session to the
second day Of August next. The Senate,
yesterday referred similar resolution to u
special committee. We earnestly hope for
an affirmative report from this committee,
and the adoption of the resolution by the
Senate. 1t gives three weeks OF working
time to the egislature-long enough to
finish in a proper manner, all the leglti-
mate necessary legislation required for the
complete organization of the government.
Next to nothing has been done since the
reassembling of members. Both Houses
have frequently been without quorums and
the peoples money is being trlied away
with at the rate of six or seven hundred
dollars per day. One hundred and twenty
three days have already been consumed in
actual session and there is very little of
real benefit to the State to show for the
expenditure which has been incurred. The
Democratic party, whether Justly or uuJdStly
will be held accountable for this result and
as Democrat, we confess with mortiiica.

If the past cannot be retrieved, however,

hope no Democrat will hereafter, by absence
or other neglect OF duty, bring reproach upon
himself, his party, or the State.

The swarms OF lumbermen who issue ev-
cry spring from the northern pneries 10 de
mand the annual tribute Of 81. Anthony
and Saltwater, occasion as much consterna-
ton in those cities as the Gauls or Cloths in
their irruptions into old Rome.
When they come down, those unfortunate
towns have no alternative but to surrender
the keys and capitulate at discretionto their
invaders, who Immediately proceed to enter
into full possession--to garrison the hotels

of tobacco juice at every available door
way take the administration OF public
affairs into their own hands, and help them
selves generally.
Reckless from the nature OF their pursuits
their shaggy boards, their brawny limbs
their selfasserting Yankee swagger in
which there is always ferocious air of de
voting imaginary tyrants to slaughter
above all, their numbers and frightiul gre
garousness, inspire wholesome terror wher-
ever they make their appearance, till their
red shirts, which are the traditional uniform
OF their guild, have become the badge OF a
ruling order.
But the lumberman paid, and the lumber
man unpaid, belong to two widely distinct
classes of animals Half savage, from bis
forest life, money tames him into submis-
sion to the conventional proprieties; and
with his wages in his pocket, he is peace
ml citizen, though with something of the
Jolly recklessness of the sailor or soldier on
furlough. But withhold his well earned
need Of money, and his ferocity is bound
less. He declares relentless war against
society. He will listen to no explanation,
and admit Of no compromise. lie knows
nothing and cares nothing for panics and
if, while he was in the woods, the mills have
become unproductive and their propr'etors
bankrupt, he holds the municipal nstitu.
tons, the hotels, and saloons Of the devoted
city responsible for it.
And the terror.stricken citizens, for their
part, are willing TO do anything TO prop
tiate him. 1t 10 amusing 10 be told that at
the first performance Of the Melodcon troupe

The Winter Mail between ~. Paul and
the East.

The following letter from Senator Ricx,
conveying the gratifying intelligence that
the contract for carrying the mail between
st. Paul and Prairie du Chen during the
winter, has been let to }. q. BURBANK, will
be received with gladness throughout the
State.
WASHINGTON, July I, 1853.
Editors Of The Pioneer and Democrat
The Post Master General has this day award
ed the contract for carrying daily mail from
Prairie du Chen to st. Paul, from 18th Nov. IA
18th April each year, for four years, 10 your
en,erprising iownsman, J. c. BrgBAsK, Esq.
Respectfully, u. N. lhcE.
We hope that now we can bid an ever
lasting farewell to NJ. o. WALKER.
Mr. BURBANK. the contractor, is the eff
cieut manager Of the Northwestern Express
Company, and gentleman well qualified
by experience, to do justice to Minnesota
in the way Of mails, during the long and
sometime dreary months Of winter. Add
ed TO this, that the mail contractor generally
possesses monopoly Of the passenger busi-
ness and we have the satisfactory assurance,
that next winter, our citizens can visit the
east, under Mr.. BuRBASK's charge, with
legs, arms, and collar bones unbroken.--
This is luxury which has been denied us
heretofore.

The operations on the Minnesota and Pa
e,fe Railroad are in course ofvigorous pros
ecution. Nearly two hundred men are al
ready at work above st. Anthony, upon an
extent Of fourteen miles. Two miles of
grade are already completed. To-day, we
believe, the force win be double, new
accession of men ard implements having ar
rived. The work will be resumed between
ST. Paul and ST. Anthony as soon as the
settlement Of some questions affecting the
right Of way, permit the Company to fix
the final location of the road. Mr.. CHAM
BERLAIN's contract extends to the compile
ton, in everything except rolling stock, of
fifty miles of road from Saltwater and up
the Fast bank of the Mississippi
In the meantime the work on the Transit
Railroad is being carried on with energy
under the superintendent of Col. De GRAFT,
who is the contractor for that Road. The
Rochester Democrat says:
The grading of the first ten miles of this
road west from Winona, is being rapidly
pushed forward. As fast as the line is loca-
ted and profled, the work will be subet by
Col. De Graf, and large force OF hands
put upon it.
DR.. Bingham, of Winona, was in our
town on Tuesday last, and informed us that
he would have sub-contract for grading
the road from point twenty miles East Of
Rochester, to within ten miles of this place,
and that he would commence work upon it
with large number CT hands, within four
or five weeks. Col DE Graft now has over
one thousand hands hired, and will put them
to work as fast as the engineers complete
the necessary surveys. ....-.-.-........
Col. De GRAFT, we believe, has contract
ed to have the Transit road completed from
Winona to Rochester by the first of Au-
gust, 1859.
The Root River Railroad Contract, we
are informed, has also been let TO Mr.
CHAMBERLAIN, and operations were to have
been commenced thereon at La Crescent, on
July lst
The last number Of the Hokah Chuef
says g" that the contract for building the
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA RAILROAD has been
let to Mr.. Selah Chamberlain, and that the
work will commence on the Root River line
as soon as surveys can be made and right Of
way obtained. The name of the contrac-
tor is sufficient guarantee that the build
ing ofthe road will be vigorously prosecuted.
We are not informed as to the point Of com
mencement in this county, though it will
soon be made known. A corps of engineers
are expected here early next week, and we
shall probably be able to give more definite
information in our next ISSUE
