Our Minneapolis COrrespO dence.
MINNEAPoLIs, May 20, 1858.

To the Editors Of the Minnes0tidn:
AT late hour last night the people of Min
neapOlis, were awakened by the shouting and
yelling of some drunken and rowdy lumber
men belonging in St Anthony. They pa, a.
ded the streets making the night hdeous with
their noise. They entered every saloon they
happened to see open, obliging the bar keep
er to give them liquor free of charge. Before
crossing the river to Minneapolis they broke
open the Jail in St. Anthony and took there
from man who had been imprison. d for steal.
ing coat Is this mob law to prevail forever?
Are the quiet and peacable inhabitants at the
Falls to stand eternally in fear of the brute
force of drunken reckless ruffians Another
evidence of the folly of the inhabitants in not
having elected the powerful officers nomina-

CEIESTIALISM NORTH AND SOUTH.

We have been expecting very confidently since
the comet has passed to the southwark that the north
abolition journals would denounce it, and point
exultngly to its diminishing brilliancy and to the
stned carnations of its heretofore elaborate and
artistic tail. How such papers as the New York
Tribune have overlooked this circumstance we are
at a loss to understand. We know nothing of the
affairs of the comet, of it's senstveness to assault
and ridcule, but we now remember the celestial
visitor fingered for long time in the Northwest,
perhaps calculating the hazards of fulfilling its
trio mission by a journey to the South, mourning
thereby the dispeasure of the Tribune. Since this
subject is before u.s. think it not anss to inquire
of our astronomers whether the planets and stars of
the North not more brilliant and prosperous than
those of the South? The sun and the moon also
continue to reside in the Southland that too with
cut remonstrance. The truth Isl northernsm has not
yet eliminated. ....g a... ~. g..s.... Il. ...
