Editor Emigraat did Journal:
Business Of q legitimate kind is still quite dull here.
although the banking institutions are heaped full and
overlooking. The stock gamblers are playing an inter.
esting and exciting game Of odd-and-even in railroad
securities, while merchants, manufacturers, shopkeepers
and mechanics are pinched to meet their current ex.
penses. This state of things will, however, We think
be but temporary.
Western emigration is q much talked of subject now
a-days. Allowance must however be made for the fact.
that at least two persons speak of moving Westward,
tor one that gets under way; and in the universal dis.
content and very prevalent dejeot;su tA-t e.;st, IT is
but natural that many should cast their eyes Westward.
What result will follow,-whether a great exodus or q
~dribbling removal,-it is, l think, beyond the power of
any one to predict: My own opinion is that there will
be q very considerable emigration. Thousands Of indi.
viduals will seek to change the current of their fortune
by changing the place Of their residence, and no doubt
the greater proportion will lind their anticipations
realized.
The religious excitement still continued. Its extent
is wonderful. 1t is reaching now over a number Of
States, and is spreading itself even into the humblest
amlets and villages. Who can doubt in view Of such
manifestations that the mind hath ~epidemics even as
the body hath, and that this is Of one them. Our great
country seems prone to sweeping contagious o: senti.
ment, whether they assume a political. a social, a specu-
lative Or a religious aspect.
There is but little Of interest in the way Of local
news, MANHATTAN.

ST Louis, March 24.-The Santa .Fs mail arrived at
Independence on the ed inst. Capt. Marcy was to
leave Fort Union for Utah on the 9th inst, nth q
thousand head of mules. Lieut.. Besle came passenger
from Santa Re. He left Los Angeles, California, Jan.
uary 10, with twenty-five men and mules, having sent
the camels back fran the Colorado river. He adhered
strictly to the Both parallel Of latitude, which he pro.
nounces to be the best natural route for . railroad in
the world. He shortened Whipple's route five hundred
miles, used no tents all the way from Los Angeles,
slept comfortably every night, and found not over three
inches OF snow at any point. While on the route, he
discovered no relics Of ancient civilization. bpt met =
tribe of Indians, hitherto unknown. He rays that white
men could travel the route in parties Of five as safely ss
twenty.
New ORLEANS, March 18th, 1858.-The steamship
tennessee has arrived from Vera Cruz, 2lst inst, With
advices from the City Of Mexico. to the 18th. Il is
very difficult to obtain reliable information, but the fol.
lowing is probably. pretty nearly correct. Several bat
ties had been fought between the constitutional forces,
and those Of the Zuloaga Government. The lister
claim a triumph, but it don't amount to much.
General Farrodl had retreated before Gen. Osallos,
OF the Zuloaga party. Pronunciamiento were still the
order Of the day, but the Government Of ZuloeRa seems
to be generally gaining ground.
The City Of Vera Cruz was under marti.l law. The
forces OF Zuloaga were on their way there, and q hard
battle would probably be fought somewhere between the
city Of Mexico and Vera Cruz. !
WASHINGTON, March 25th, l85S.-The Democratic
MI. MabO0t o00 0eLctmlQeQ 20
push Minnesota through as fast as possible. The hope
Is to get three more votes in the House for Lscompton.
The impracticableness of a few Republican members
who don't want to vote for Crittenden's amendment,
renders the defeat Of Lecompton very doubtful. The
prospect to-day is far from encouraging. As the vote
49, however, postponed till Thurday, the present difficult
ties may be overcome by that time.
ST: LOUIS, March 25th, 1858.-Western emigration
has fairly set in. The number of enigrsuts passing
through the city is very large, and daily increases. The
fsc'he Railroad takes up over q hundred a day, and the
Missouri River steamers are crowded.

The meeting at Hastings on Saturday the 9th inst.
was highly satisfactory, and although it may be said
that it was poorly attended, yet, they who did attend,
were the very men whose coqntenanoe and aid we're
most coveted in this noble enterprise and, when VIC
find such men taking an interest in any enterprise, and
especially in one in which the highest interests of a Ia.
boring people are Commemorative, an association of
agricultural interests-we are sure of the success Of the
enterprise. These men not only gave US their pre.ence
but their membership also.
MIR. 1gnatias Donnelly gave the meeting a practical
address on agriculture, and the great interests bordering
upon it. 1t would tend more to the deyelopement Of
our agricultural resources, if the people could avail
themselves of such practictical hints-as Mr.. Donpelly
gave-more frequently.
Aset Of Bylaws were adopted by the Society, which
together with the Constitution, and the Rules and Reg
ulstions governing the exhibition Of articles at the An
nual Fair-vil be published in pamphlet form and
distributed.
1t is sincerely hoped that every farmer, mechanic,
and merchant every connoisseur in the fue arts; every
educator; every female in the County who desires to
exhibit her peculiar skill in various kinds Of hspdiwork !;
will Ill, cheerfully, enter into this scheme for the COM
mon good, and become members.
Any aerson paying into the treasury the SUM Of one
dollar, is entitled to a membership for one year, and, is
entitled to all the privileges and immunities belonging
to the Annual Fair.
The Society has 3 large number of blank certificates
on hand, and any person, by sending one dollar and
a postage stamp to the Recording Secretary, L. N,
Coantrymsn, Hastings, will receive by return mail q
certificate Of membership in The Dakota County Az

As it is . fixed fact that a very large number Of East.
ern families have determined to emigrate to Mortified
this season, (no doubt Influenced in a great measure by
the recent able advocacy, in Massachusetts, especially, Of
the var ous advantages possessed BY this section Of coun-
try) it is highly probable that a regular stage line from
Nininger to Mortified will be much wanted very soon ;
Nininger We understand, being the river town nearest
to Mortified.
Parties having facilities to start such a line should be
up and doing, aud give due publicity to I their enterprise,
as it is Of great consequence to take time by the FORE
lock in such matters. r.

Of Probate has incorporated it as a part Of the law Of

America now recognizes the newspaper as a family and

can be advaptageously carried on for a greater number
OF days in the year in Minnesota than in any of the

should note this fact.

ton within whose waters they may be, and IN
this is included the liability to be chased and
overhauled for the capture of ~fugitives upon the
high seas-for the latter was the great highway
of nations, the common property OF all. While
individuals owed allegiance and a cheerful sup
port of the laws to the government under which
they lived, the latter was equally charged with an
important duty,--that of protecting the gov
erned against oppression from without, and in
the full enjoyment of their legal rights and privi-
leges. To this end it was its bounden duty to
maintain a commensurate military and police
force, and it was again the duty of the governed
to give their quota towards the furtherance Of
this object. Happily, said the speaker, the ne
cessity is not urgent here for the rendering Of
such assistance, but the existence of a fine volun-
teer association-the Honolulu RiAesHisa stand
ing proof of the disposition of this community in
a case of need. The principle was universally
acknowledged by standard authorities, that the
government of a country was bound TO protect
those who live within its jurisdiction from with
out. Thus, in the case Of the French invasion
in 1S49, this government would have been
obliged to pay alien residents for any damage to
their property which might have resulted, and
not the invaders.
In the course of his lecture, the speaker took
occasion to allude to Walker, the Nicaraguan
flibuster, which he did in terms of no little con-
demnation, and applauded the deed of Com.
Paulding in arresting him.
In concluding, the rights and duties of aliens
resident in foreign countries were stated to be
fully defined
l.. In the general principles of national law
throughout the civilized world
2. By treaty stipulations between nations;
3. BY municipal laws.
There was not a country on the face of the
earth where foreigners were so privileged as here,
as well in the matter of holding real estate as in
all other particulars, and this should secure a
corresponding degree of sympathy and support
from aliens.
On the conclusion Of the lecture. n vote of
thanks was passed by the Lyceum to Mr.. Gregg,
for the able and interesting address of which we
have given a synopsis, and the subject of discus
sion for tomorrow evening, was stated to be-
90 Ought governments to legislate on morals?'

manisests a people rapidly dying out, while the in
crease of the whites is proportionately as great. 1t is
melancholy to know this of the former. The Hawai-
ians have received from the whites all the aid that the
highest intellect and most devoted philanthropy could
bring them for their preservation These gifts have
been fatal. In return, they are leaving the whkesH

cidedly injurious tendency, will be attentively read

been f~avorably known to many. We intended making
further extracts from. and comments on it, but must

Brig. ard Br5gautincs.

The Morning Star is in Hosolulu spoken of as a
schooner, or a brigdntine. She is neither. Her cap
tain pronounces her to he a brig. New England
papers speak of her rs a. the missionary brig, Morn
ing STAR" and she unregistered as a brig.
Seamen in Atlantic ports speak of three kinds of
brigs, viz: full rugged, hermaphrodite, and jackass
briggs, which last are also termed brigantines. Here
the latter name is perhaps given to those of the Sec
ond class named, because, like the termination of lie
to a proper name, lit sounds pretty Dr.. Kane never
speaks of the .ddrance as anything but a brig, though
she was of the same rig rs the Morning Star, and
not of that Of the .4ira ice, now in our harbor.
The difference between a topsail schooner and her.
maphrodite is in the head stays mostly. A brigan-
tine is the same forward as the hermaprodite brig,
while aft an addition is made of a main topsail, but
not the drop mainsail of the efull rig And again,
the mainsail of the hermaphrodite brig and brigantine
is, like that of the schooner, a fore and aft sail, while
that of the full rig hangs from tho mainyard.
Among the vessels that visit us 1 will name the
Taquero, a topsail schooner, .adpance, Emma and
Haraii, full rugged briggs; for hermaphrodite briggs,
the Recovery, -Agate and Morning Star, and one
only Of 1 remember her right) is a brigantine,
namely, the Pictoria. Yours,
