Mail Route from Sc Paul Co Puget

The Post Office Department has adver-
tised for proposals TO carry the mail from
ST. Paul to Puget Sound and as the ad-
vertisement only finds its way to the public
through the columns Of country paper in
the interior of the State, we propose TO re-
deem it from the obseurity into which it has
fallen, by giving it gratuitous insertion in
the PIONEER AND DEMocRAr. We think
that in all probability, the advertisement
may also be looked for in the columns oil

We have no disposition to complain be-
cause the advertisement is not published in
this journal we neither look for, nor par
ticularly desire, patronage from the present
Administration. But every friend Of the
northern route has right 20 demand that
the proposals shall receive sufficient pub
licity in the Northwest, to promote the OBJ
ject for which they are advertised.

The FUR Trade OF 81. Paul.

The domain Of the hunter fifty years ago
extended from the Allcshenes TO the Pacific.
Every successive decade since then has
wrstei from the savage occupants Of that
upbroken wilderness, new acquisition TO
the cluster Of American States almost as
large in territorial extent as the whole area
of the Old Thirteen. And the cncroach-
ments Of civilized population have driven
the native hunter step by step far beyond
the Mississippi, till nothing remains of all
the vast empire Of the savage in United
States Territory, but narrow strip in the
interior Of the continent already threaded by
armies OF emigrants, aud marked tor sub
jugation by the surveyor and the pioneer.
Perhaps nothing better exhibits the rapid
recession of the Indian and the trapper be-
fore the advancing wave Of civilization than
the history Of Minnesota.
Ten years ago Minnesota was occupied in
almost its whole extent by two fierce tribes,
OF which it was the battle ground. The
whole product OF the Territory was furs, the
collection Of which from the native hunters
gave employment to some few thousands Of
Half Breeds, Canadians and others, dc.
peuden,s and agents OF the American Fur
Company, whose principal depots were at
Mendoza and ST. Paul, and whose subordi
nate outposts stretched in oil directions
through the adjacent Northwest region.
Since then the aboriginal occupants Of
the country have been superseded over al
most its whole area by an industrious popu-
lation OF whites, whose towns and villages
have supplanted the lodges Of the Indian up
to the very western edge Of the State, and
with the extinction Of Indian titles and the
removal Of Indian tribes, Minnesota has
almost ceased to be fur producing region.
-. But small proportion Of the furs which
annually pass through st. Paul are made
in Minnesota. They come fer the most
part from the regions west Of the James
and Red Rivers, and from the far north in
the British Possessions. Dakota Territory
is still in possession Of the native Indians
and the Buffalo still ranges in the valleys
of the James and Shayenne Rivers The
head waters Of the Minnesota and Mssis-
,ippi still contribute an annual supply OF
furs from the Indians who yet linger in
their old hsunts but the great proportion
comes from the Red River. Three.iourtbs
of the entire fur product Of the region be-
tween the Mississippi and the Missouri
passes through St. Paul-the larger pro-
portion through the two houses Of CULVER
& HARRINGTON and FoRBEs 4 KirrsoE.
The following tables give the aggregate
amounts of Furs exported from 81. Paul
during the present year
