The Herald corrcspondentsays: "The an:
nouncement for party having been formed
to accompany Rear-Adminal Mohammed
Pacha and suite for an excursion to Min
nesota, this summer, has created quite
sensation among the foreign attacke, and
other pleasure-hunters in Washington.
Besides President Breckenridge,
Senators Fitch and Rice, Becker and Cat4
anagh, Representatives from Minnesota,
Governor Medary, DR.. Coleman, Represer-
tative elect from Dacotah, there will be
large party from Washington, and among
them many of the Foreign Legation. The
beautiful lakes and prairies Of Minnesota,
Astounding with fish, game, and the bufa-
10, will afford such novelty and excitement
to the distinguished Turk, other foreigners,
and the whole party as can not be found
in any other part Of the world. It is pro-
posed to start in July, and to 20 to Breek-
inridge, near the dividing line between
Minnesota and nacotah, at the head of the
navigation Of the Red River of the North,
and at the junction of the Bots des Sioux,
or Sioux Wood River, with the Red River,
or Otter Tail River This will be the head
quarters of the party. Only imagine Mo-
hammed Pacha and suite, and these scented
gentlemen of the Foreign Legations, on
buffalo hunt on our magnificent prairies Of
the far West! What chance for their
health, after the dissipation of Washington
society and city life! and then twelve or
fifteen hundred miles of railroad continu-
ously to travel ,through great citiesand seem
cry of mountains, lakes and great rivers,
which for thousands of miles bear produce
to the ocean, and the Unreasonable .prai-
ries, how will these strike our visitors?
Doubtless they will exclaim, God is great
and this is a great country? Speaking Of
this Western country of Minnesota and
Dacotah, may mention that there is 4
project being developed to connect by ca
nal, less than mile in length, two of the
lakes of Minnesota, one connecting with
the waters Mississippi and the other with
the Red River Of the north, by which
continual chain of communication will be
opened between the Gulf of Mexico and
Hudson's Bay-between the tropics and
the artic zone-through the interior waters
of this continent. Let the Turkish Rear
Admiral see these things and understand
this fact, and he will apostrophisc Allah,
and say this is great country" -Ha,-

Ii This is as it should be. We like to SEQ
promptness on the part of great Govern
ment like ours. The officer of the Ad-
ministration who nosed out the detection
of this popcorn man and reported him:to
the seat Of dignity and power, did clean
and commendable thing. What sort Of
business, we want to know, has man who
does not believe in the righteous Of the
Lecompton swindle, to be carrying on the
pop corn trade right plum within the walls
Of the public Offices of the General Gov
eminent? And how long does anybody
suppose an Administration could maintain
its dignity and high character, and -contin-

profound awe Of the people, if it allowed
