4 Timely Work.

The Messrs. Fowler Il Wells, sos Broadway have
issued many useful works for the people; but we think
for the western market, a work they have now in press
will exceed in interest anything Of the kind that has
appeared in this country. 1t IS entitled The Garden,
A Pocket Manual Of Practical Horticultural 1t vii!
embrace directions for tho cultivation of kitchen veget'
ables, fruits, flowers, and ornamental trees and shrubs
and an exposition Of the structure Of plants and the
laws Of vegetable life and growth. Price in paper, 81
cents in muslin, so cents.
The publishers thus speak of it:
This. we venture to say, is the most thorough, com:
prehensive, lucid, and practical work of its size and
price ever published on the subject Of gardening. II
presents in a condensed and available form, and in a
Gle r, direct, and simple style, the combined result OF
long experience, careful observation, and patient study,
and is brought within the means Us we'll as the ;"mpre.
hension of everybody. Il is something more than a
nero manual Of directions for the culture Of the va
rious garden products. 1t rot only tells the reader
VIVA: 70 do, but why it should be done-thus giving him
a new interest IN the various operations. The book is
adapted, so far as such adaptation Is possible, to all
sections Of our countryside South as we'll as the North.

Discusslon ON the Loan Bill.

An opportunity will be given to the friends and op-
ponents of the above measure to show how and why
this loan should or should not be made, on Monday
evening next, at - o'clock, at the Nininger Lyceum.
The question is one of vast Importance to the prosperi-
ty of our young State, and should not be hastily adopt.
ed or rejected-it should be dispassionstely examined
in all its bearings, aside from party or sectional pre-
judice. Our friends in Hastings, Pine Bend, and else
where, who feel an interest in this matter, We hope to
see here on this occasion, to take part in the question.
The bill itself may be read in another part Of this

ments brought forward next Monday evening, in favor
and in opposition to the loan, we shall endeavor to give
in our next issue, together with any other information
that may appear to US worthy, that our readers may be
enabled to vote Understandings on the day Of election.

We were premature in announcing the passage Of the
Homestead Bill, in our last issue our informant hav-

session. The Registry Bill after being reported on was
referred to a select committee. The act to incorporate
the City of West St. Paul has passed. A bill appoint

Hollingshed, Esq, as Commissioners to revise the

There is no news from Washington that gives us any
light as to the admission of Minnesota into the Union.
If our State is to be coupled with Kansas, as has been
~intimated, when the matter is taken up in Congress, the
prospect is very poor for entering this year. No less
than thirty elaborate speeches are yet to be made on
Kansas in the Senate and all the Parliamentary tao
ties are to be exhausted by Juvge Douglass and his
friends against the Lecompton Bill of the Administra-
ton. In this warfare, IA delay Of the whole year can
be gained, if necessary, Ivy such adroit managers, be-
fore they are compelled to give in. If this should be
carried out, and it now looks probable, Minnesota will
be under Territorial authority until next year.
A rumor has been circulating N the papers that the
Minnesota delegation had agreed to support the Le-
compton Constitution, and were therefor to get their
seats, and the Constitution of Minnesota be accepted.
There is no reason to suppose there is any truth in this
report. If they should agree to SO foolish an arrange
ment it would neither heue6t them nor hasten the ad.
mission Of Minnesota.

Great RELIGIOUS Revival.

One of the most extensive and remarkable religious
awakenings that has ever been witnessed in this coun-
try, is now progressing in various sections. In New
York City and adjoining towns it is especially manifest,
and partakes of the nature of an epidemic. 1t first
began in tt Sabbath Schools, extended to the church
congregations, and thence into private families, into
stores, banks, and workshops, and progressed week days
as we'll as Sundays and morning, noon, and night has
the increasing fervor that has been partici-
pated by all the various denominations. In one num-
Der of the Tribune, six columns were devoted to the
origin and progress of this memorable revival, which it
says, exceeds the Great Awakening of Jonathan Ed
wards time, and which, it also states, will be every
where recognized as providential aud Divine.
We have not heard of any peculiar religious move
ment taking place anywhere at the West, although there
have been here and there some extra interest in the
churches. Perhaps it has not been sought for with
the ~assiduity evidently manifested at the East.
1t has been some fifteen years since any general re-
ligious movement of this kind has been witnessed and
every year the religious community have bewailcd the
deafness that had come upon the church in the mean
time the great phenomenon of spiritualism has swept
over the land, carrying with it the high and low, rich
and poor, learned and unlearned. In its progress have
been witnessed many Of the phases of religious REVEALS,
with even greater extravagances of conduct than has
sometimes been witnessed in some of the religious de-
nominations at some seasons So i~lnage-like has been
this spiritual movement, that they have tauntingly
claimed to have taken The life from the churches, and
prophesied of their continued impotency. Their daily
increasing success in winning converts in every corner
of the land, has seemed to verify that predistion, espc-
cially as they exhibited all the zeal and fervor supposed
to belong exclusively to the churches. Their system
has even been divided into parties under various leaders
having as many differences to divide then as the church
denominations 1t is now evident that the spiritual
movement has Lot supplanted the religious aystem, and
whatever its claims to higher attainments may be, it is
not destined to hold exclusive sway any more than other
systems that have preceded it.
