DECREASE OF FEM1GRATIoN.-We learn
from the n. Y. Herald that the last report
of the Commissioners Of Emigration shows
great decrease in the number of emf grants
arriving at the port of New York from the
first of January to the 23d inst. The
arrivals for that period are, in fact, less
than half those Of the same time last year.
The number up to June %, 1857, was
81 ,608; while that of the present year is
only 3O,450. The Herald remarks:
This decrease is, unquestionably, attirbu-
table to the late financial revulsion. 1t is
one of its most natural consequences. The
alarm which our crisis created in Europe
gave this country a new aspect to many Eu-
ropean eyes. The demand for work or
bread, the tumultuous scenes of Tompkins
square and the Park-fomented and pro-
longed for certain neutrality-suspicious.
ed the emigrating classes from trusting
themselves to the incretitude of fortune
which seemed to await them here. 1t will
probably be some years before the tide Of
emigration falls again into its old channel.

say, however, that there is something
greater and higher fora state, than mere
physical resources. We must be imbued
with the spirit which animated our ances-
cestors, in the great contest whiohw we COM
mence to day, if we would secure The
greatest success. If we, would build an
empire that shall not decay, we must be
faithful to just principles. The mostsalu-
brious climate, the most fertile soil, are in
vain, If 10 do not MAINTAIN wise and just
institutions. Many States Of antiquity,
now crumbled into ruins, could once boast
of as much wealth and elegance as exist in
any nation to-day: But they were false to
liberty and they died. Let the principles
of Christianity which alone can give us
true civilization, go hand in hand with our
arts, our laws, our physical growth-then
the land will blossom as the rose-then we
may build up an empire chat shall defy the
ravages of time.

St. Cloud Ns,ter,

St. Cloud N.,ter,
returned to this place yester;
day from Breckenridge on Red River; being
one Of the party who located the State Road to
that place and thinking some of the readers Of
the Nsiter might wish to know something Of
the country which it traverses, 1 propose to
give them an idea, through your columns. In
the, first place. A good road can bemade on the
line located with but very little expense. The
country is far better suited for road than
that which the ''old Pembina traip' travefses.
Very few bad sloughs are encountered. and
streams. The distance is about 40 miles
which is saving of at least 80 miles over the
Pembina trail.
The country is as good, if not better than
and, by the way, have seen large portion
oft. There is no point on the line until with
in 80 miles of Breckenridge, where timber Of
good quality, and in abundant quantity, is not
found at distance no greater than half miles
The soil Is excellent and yields wheat, oats
potatoes, corn &c. abundantly. Any person
VIII. doubts this would advise to take trip
up the Sauk valley aud see the fields of wheat,
corn and etctras; which there gladden. the heart
Of the farmer and he will doubt no more.
Probably no person has stronger prejudices
against this country than had before came
here; but they are all removed; intend to
make it my future home.
The road is located through the tow: sites of
Sauk Centre, Kandotta, Alexandria Lapham.
The latter place being at the crossing Of the
Otter Tail River which affords superior nat
ural water power; and is likely to make quitea
town, Alexandria is the county seat of Doug
lass County and is located among some Of the
most beautiful lakes ever saw. There is an
abundance Of good timber close to the town
site, with long strips Of prarie extending into
it. 1t is a county which must soon fill up with
settlers, for any one who sees it cannot fail to
like it. Breckenridge is surrounded by fine
agricultural country; and being at the head. Of
navigation on the Red River, and also the ter
minus of Minnesota s. Pacific Rail Road can
not fail to make q large town. The timber is
scarce in the immediate vicinity;but this difti-
Guilty is obviated by the fact that there is an
supply just above on the Otter
Tail (which can be easily aoated dawn and
made into lumber and fuel. A large ''drive"
is now within few miles Of Breckenridge,
Which demonstrates the practicability Of this
1t is designed for the mill which is to be
erected this summer by the town company.
If the necessary exertion is made to cut out
The roadway through the brush and timber,
md to bridge few of the bad sloughs, so that
lhe travel will be directed into that channel
have no doubt but the whole country along the
line will be settled within two years.

PACIFIC ROUTE a celebration, on
the 5th, at Minneapolis "The northern
route to the Pacific" was given as toast.
G. G. Andrews Esq. Of St. Cloud, respond
ed in brief but able speech Of which the
following is an extract.
Thus far two maxims have been the
leading feature of our policy in Minnesota
First. to find out what can and oughtto be
done ,-Secondly,to do it. Now we have
'ascertained that railroad can be built on
the Northern route, through Minnesota,
to the Pacific. Thorough and reliable ex.
plorations have rendered it comparatively
certain that such route is most practical
BILE. It has lorg been admitted by states
men of all parties, that railroad to the
Pacific is necessary as means Of defense
to the coast. and as a:means Of economy in
transporting the mails: It is unnecessary
to speak of the advantage which such a
road would be to Minnesota. Those who
remember wha tthe overland emigration
to California and Oregon did for western
Missouri. can form some ideaof the results
which would accrue from great Pacific
route through the State. What espe-
cialy desire in these remarks, KS to call at
tention to the fact that far to the north
west of US is region which will need, and
contribute to support the proposed north
ern road. The vast Territory extending
ten degrees north and west Of here, lying
chiefly in British America, is we'll adapted
to agriculture. It is as far north Of US as
we are north of Tennessee. It is larger
than all the middle and New England
States together, and watered by the ASSN;
eboin, the Athabasca, Saskatchewan and
Peace rivers. The other day was look,
ing into Mackenzie's account Of his voyage
through North America in 1892. After
exploring the great river, which will carry
his name down to posterity, he asoended
the Peace river. Some Of the scenery on
that river; he says, was the most maggnif'
cent he ever saw. He then found gar
den, which he states, equaled any vegeta'
bic garden he had ever seen in Canada. =
The great region Of which I speak, has fo'
two centuries been under the jurisdiction
Of gigantic monopoly the Hudson Bay
Company. It has been for the interest O
that company to keep theterritory q wilder
ness, to promote their fur business ;and ac
oordingly their combined influence ha.
been exerted to represent it As untayor:'
bic for agriculture. Lately, however, thel,
affairs have been inquired into BY tn
House of Commons, and testimony was tax
en-, showing the ampleresources Of q that a cou1 y
try. There Is prospect that It WILSON b<
wrested fromsrthe retarding influence O
that monopoly, and opened up to settlers
When this is done, as itshould and WILL
done, great stimulus will be given to ou'
I northern route.

I-NOVEMBER.

The dead leaves their rich mosaics,
OF olive and gold and brown,
Had laid on the rain-wet pavements'
Through all the embowered town.
They we're washed by the autumn tempest
They were trod by hurrying feet
And the maids came out with their besoms'
And swept them into the street.
To be crushed and lost forever
Meath the wheels, in the black mire LOST
The summers precious darlings,
She nurtured at such cost!
O words that have fallen from me!
O golden thoughts and true!
Must see in the leaves symbol
OF fate which awaiteth your
1I-APRiL.
Again has come the spring time,
With the crocus's golden bloom,
Withthe smell of the fresh-turned earth-mould'
And the violet's sweet perfume.
O Gardner! tell me tho secret
Ofthy flowers SO rare and sweet!
II have only enriched my garden
With the black mire from the street."

( the resolutions by setting forth that the
member from Massachusetts had stgivesI
color to the idea that slaves had right to
petition" etc., phrase on which Adams
afterwards roasted him alive. Finally the
pro-slavery side began to suspect that
they were pursuing the negro in the
wrong direction that if there was a color
ed individual in the case at all, he was
more likely to be found in the paling than
in the petition, and so they stopped to take
breath.
Then Mr.. Adams rose to address the
House. With great deliberation, hisvoice
of shrill key that penetrated to the reno
test corners Of the galleries, and with a
frail bit of paper rustling in the speakers
aged hand, he called the Speakers attention
to the question lie had put tohim three days
ago, which still llremainedu u Unanswered, viz, !:
Whether petition purporting to be from
slaves If he aoere to present 1t, go to the
table under the order of the 18th of Janu-
airy? Looking around him with an ex-
preston of mingled sarcastic cunning and
lofty scorn, which Lord Chatham would
have envied, he cried in voice, not Of
thunder, but in sharp, Kissing tone, such
as tightening might be supposed to employ
if it spoke at all, GAM I TO BE EXPELLED
FRoMTH1s LoQUAC1oUs, BABBL1NG HOUSE
FOR SIMPLY ASKING QUESTION.
For the first time the thought flashed
on foe and friend, that Mr.. Adams had
neither presented the paper, nor proposed
to present it.. Everybody felt queer, while
some grave men looked like lank sheep
suddenly denuded of their feeces. It had
now got wind that the paper was a forgery,
the work ofsome stupid politician in Wash
ington, and purporting to be written by
Scipio, Sambo, and other bogus negroes.
asking the House to expel Mr.: Adams
from that body.
And now the "old man eloquent" took
his turn in debate, How he demolished
one opponent after another scourging,
aaying, scalping, and impaling to his
hearts content-how rank upon rank Of
chivalry went down before his trenchant
blade-how he spitted poor Droomgoole,
and roasted him before slow fire of sar-
casm, when he told linn that "giving CO.
lor to an idea" was not Northern but a
Southern practice, one of the peculiar in
stitutions of Virginia, with which he had
no desire to interfere-how the House
screamed with laughter as Droomgoole es-
sayed grim smile in acknowledgement
Of his delicate allusion to the bleaching
chemistry employed by the South to era
dictate the dark tints in their variegated
population how he wound up his trium-
phant philippe by warning his young ad-
versaries never again to run on an errand
till they knew where they were going
and how the House firmly refused to lay
the resolutions on the table, but brought
their authors to direct vote, and finally
trampled them down by decided majority.
Are not all these things written in the
chronicles of the Old Hall of the House of
Representatives.
