STEIN, and for the especial object Of captur-
ing the Styx.
If the vessels be not compelled to return
on account OF imperfect mach inery, and If
they do not fall short of coal. and if one or
the other meet the Styx or the Vixen, we
shall have stirring little episode in the pro-
tracted negotiation that is to ensue upon the
relative correctness of the British and Amer
ican version of the maritime law of visit.
The British squadron now in the West In

consists of war vessels carrying three hun

pared to tramp over paper with ready

On the afternoon of Wednesday last the
body of man was taken from the river at

man, who walked into the river just above
this City last winter, notice of which &C.

the accident. 1t was understood then that
the man was from that region of country
known as Pembina. l introduce this, hoping
that his friends may sect it and take measures
for identifying the body, and claim the val
uables which were found thereon. There is
some talk that the Coroner will not scruple
to appropriate to his own use such moneys as
were found upon the body. Don't our Dem
ocratic Office holders enjoy the confidence OF
the public
l understand from a friend who visited
your City last week, that on the 3rd inst,
a member of the House of Representatives
from this county, might have been seen on
the Levee in st. Paul, intoxicated either with
the position he occupied as a representative
of Dakota county or with that more common
mode of intoxication, the tap of some low
drinking house. Let the people of this
county hope that it was the former, for tire
people of the county would feel bad to know
that they had elevated to the dignity of rep
resentative, man whose most powerful in
fuence was exert, d at the bar of whiskey-
selling establishment, instead of that of his
county. Just whisper it in the ear of the

ta county who feel that he sadly misrepre-
sents them.

Ter S1RLry we find the following sentence oil
intense wisdom:
Banks are necessary eriIs
The people of Minnesota ought to congrat-
pla,s each other that the elegantly proper
toned body which encases mind so phlloso-
phical as 10 produce this axiom is setting in the
chair of State, even though crime put him there
and crime persisted in, keeps him there
Banks are necessary evils p Wonderful in
tellect that could evolve from its cavernOus
depths so mighty proposition. Singular that
no one suggestedths before. Extending the
same idea. we are led to consider the i'm
menSe number of" necessary evils there are
in the world For instance Indian traders
are necessary evil Indians themselves are
a necessary evil :" Governments are a neces
sary evil JAMES BUCHANAN is necessary
evil II. ii. SIBLEY is necessary evil so are
dressing and undressing, heaU aid cold, fire
and snow, eating and drinking men are
necessary evil as women think and so are
women, as men declare: oting Irishmen six
teen times apiece is another necessary evil
and half breeds at Mendoza half that often;
forging election returns to get an Indian
trader certificate as Governor is a necessa
~ evil, and his paying the forgers expenses
is very necessary evil indeed; to prevent
the passage of law to allow an impartial
trial of the validity of the forgers pen as an
element of popular sovereignty, is another
highly necessary evil, too necessary to the
success of the fraud and to prevent the ex-
posure of the Democratic party necessary
evil, indeed. Why every function of life
from the cradle to the grave, is not unmxed
happiness but is only a sort of necessary evil

of such philosophy. Nothing like the In

Gov. STEWART WHIppED.-We learn from
ge' tleman late from Jefferson City that
Gov. Stewart recently received a very severe
whip ping at the hands of a gentleman from
Boone County, Mr. Mandiver. Vandiver
fund Stewart in the liquor shop, when
difficulty arose in regard to the pardon Of
O'Blennis. Stewart fought valantly but fell
early, roaring Justify for quarter, crying
enough" with an energy of pathos that
would have moved heart of stone. Van
diver, however, did not havea heart of stone,
and continued to pour the blows into Stew
arts ribs until he had completely satisfied
his pugillstic propensities, when he was pulled
off by the bystanders.
We understand that Stewards friend plead
in extenuation that he was not in condition to
fight, but that he can whip Vandiver any day
for a prize. We will put Vandlver against
him.-Missouri Telegraph.

The Weather.

The New York Times has general synop-
sis of the weather from all sections of the
Union. The rains have been universal, and
in many parts has greatly retarded the plant
ing, and injured crops. In some of the north
eastern States vegetation is some twenty days
behind ordinary seasons. We have had con-
siderable rains in Minnesota, and some rough
weather this Spring, but our farming opera
tions have been very little, if any, retarded,
and the forwardness and appearance of our
crops never more encouraging.
