1t will thus be seen that the amount Of humidity in
the atmosphere Of St. Paul during the winter months is
not one-6fth that Of New York city during the same
period. A like remark can be made of Boston (as rep
resented by Cambridge in the above table) or Of Ciucin-
natl, OHIO.
Let Us look next at the influence of winds on the de-.
gree Of cold. DR.. Kane gave it as his experience that
the atmosphere at zero, accompanied by a high wind
was more uncomfortable and absolutely colder than the
same atmosphere at thirty degrees below zero without
wind. On this subject popular experience is uniform
and it needs no citations from science to demonstrate
that the amount Of wind very materially Affects our
s~en-ibility to the cold.
This being granted let US examine how Minnesota
compares in this respect with other points in the Union
To do this We quote from the Army Register the fol.
lowing extracts as compiled from the report Of the Chief
Engineer Of the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad Com.

ing in this respect Il decided advantage over the thick
.layey, almost impervious soils of some of the adjacent
States.
In respect to the fall of rain, it will be recollectei
that We have just stated that a less amount is found in
Minnesota during the winter months than in any other
part Of the Union. Now although this serves a useful
purpose in moderat'ng the cold of the winter, a con.
'ural months would tend to create droughts and prove
seriously detrimental to the prosperity Of the country.
We will, however. by a reference to the following ex.
tract from the Climatologyof the United States, find
that instead of this being the case, the amount Of rain
md humidity in the atmosphere increases in the exact
ratio required by the former, aud diminishes just in
proportion as the period for agricultural pursuit passes
way. This table is based upon observations made by
the United States Government at Fort Smelling during
a neriod Of ninefeen and Ia a q Enlloms.
The emigrant aid journal of Minnesota. [volume] (Nininger City, Minn. Terr. [i.e. Minn.]) 1856-1858, 1858-03-03

1t appears that the mean force Of the wind 1t Fort Saell-
ing for the whole terra 10 less than st any other statinn. and
and twenty-five per cent less than the ave,a e Of all stations
for the yesr, except in 1854, when it eighty exceeds the
average
Hence, we find that although Minnesota occupies q
comparatively high northern latitude, the degree Of it's
thermometrical cold is reduced by the notifications of
the two great forces which alone could influence it,
viz: by the small degree Of humidity and by the s,pall
amount Of wind in it, atmosphere. The result isl clear,
dry, bracing and quiet air, we'll fitted for the develop.
ment of physical and mental strength.
The question, however, of the character of the winter
is not Of 80 much Importance to the emigrant as that of
the character Of those months upon which the agricul.
tural success Of the country must depend. The emf
grant will conclude that a great degree Of cold during
the winter is more than compensated for during the re-
mainder Of the year, in the freedom Of the settler from
the miasmatic diseases Of more Southern latitude, and
in the enjoyment of that good health for which this
State has a worldwide celebrity. The great question
is as to the agricultural capacities Of Minnesota upon
these must depend its future, and these will depend
upon three points,-6rst, the soil; second, the fall Of
rain, and third, the degree Of heat during the months
between April and October.
The soil Of Minnesota possesses the rich, dark, al
luvial character Of the soils of the adjacent States Of
Iowa and Illinois, with however a greater admixture Of
sand, which gives it a lighter, looser, and warm r char
acter. We do not consider 4 defence Of the character
Of the soil uecessary-it has never been impeached-we
would however advert to one fact, viz that the mixture
of sand with the other elements Of the soil makes it re.
eeiYe more quickly the warmth Of the early spring, hsv'

The SpRlNa.-We cannot but anticipate the very
best Of times for the West in the coming Spring. lii
evident that in New York the excitement of speculation
is rapidly rising to its level. So far it manifests itself
chiefly in Railroad Stocks-and that two without re
gard to their instrinsic merits. The New York Tri
dane's money article says:
: In this position stands the New York Stock market
row.. feverish and excitable in the highest degree, but
almost entirely in a direction toward advance. In ether
words, ~bu"yancy and confidence are the prominent
characteristics Of the market-and croaking avails moth
ing against these strong elements Of speculative eexcit.
ment.'
We feel confident the crisis is over, and that mems
minds will rise ae rapidly as they have fallen, and with
the return Of the fever and tie kal. %ucipatiou will return
the prosperity Of the country.

the distance will be shortened between these two points.
Securing, opening, and working roads is at present a
slow process large towns like ours are often built up to
contain a thousand inhabitants, before they can get suit.
able roads made into the back country, and the people,
as in the above instance, have to pick a route wherever
free from fences, until the slow machinery Of legal &C.

hope to see some travel this summer on the new road
