We received, last evening, from Senator
lsIcE. letter conveying the gratifying in
telligence that the Missouri Sioux Indians
lile Yanktonsl have signed n. treaty. relin-
gushing TO the United States oil their in
tercst Ia the lands in Dakota Territory,
south OF the following line: Commencing at
kampcska lake thence TO the mouth Of
the amdushkah, or Snake river, thence up
said river to its source thence 10 the head
Of East Medicine river thence down said
river 10 the Missouri river.
The lands coded by this treaty embody
about TWELVE MILLIONS OF ACRES. Hurrah
for Dakota
We also learn from Mr. RlcE that, in
consequence Of the nonarriyal of the PEN
bina and Rcd Lake Indians, il i. uncertain

Sioux taken 10 Washington by Major
Bows. II ia contemplated, however, in
cas- Of failure to negotiate treaty in
Washington, to send to Minnesota, during
the summer, q commission 10 complete the
negotiation Of the treaties contemplated.
Mr.. Rex states that negotiations will
also be opened with the Winnebagoes, with
the purpose Of securing their removal from
tho Blue Earth country. II this measure
il not successful, energetic means will he
adopted To relieve the white settlers in the
Blue Earth, from the annoyances they have
suffered since the location OF these Indians
in that quarter.

We learn from DR.. MANN, who arrived
yesterday on the Ocean Wave, that at the
city election, held in Philadelphia. On Tues.
day last, ALEXANDER Henry, AntLLecomp
ton, was elected Mayor, over RIcn,Rp
VAcx, Democrat, by four thousand ma
jority.
Philadelphia, at the Presidential election
gave Mr.. Buchanan 1000 majority. II is
the headquarters Of the Pennsylvania De
mocracy, aud the political centre of the
State. We take it, therefore, that the DE
mocracy Of that city do not approve of the
reading out process, as applied to those DE
mocrats who dsdain to worship at the
shrine Of Iecompton. We do not rejoice at
Democratic defeat ; but merely refer TO
the result in Philadelphia, in the hope tina,
il will prove an instructive lesson to small
class OF Democratic officials and politicians

WV. +. RyrcHIg, the distinguished editor
of the Richmond Enquirer, in late letter
from Washington, to the Enquirer. holds
the following language as to the Secret Cir
cular sent to Washington by the Republi-
cans in st. Paul. to defeat the admission OF
Minnesota
hear today that SECRET CIRCU.
LAR has just reached the city, strongly
urging the Black Republicans TO oppose the
admission OF Minnesota as u State, upon
the ground, that if the matter be postponed,
they can succeed, through new legislature,
in electing two Black Republican Senator's,
in the place Of the two now applying for
admission.

stsanboating on the Upper Ni.sissIppi

We rejoice to learn, that the steamboat
North Star succeeded in getting over the
rapids of the Mississippi, opposite the town
of Sank Rapids. on the 81 inst. and imme-
diately eit for Pokegama, $50 miles above.
The Sank Rapids Frontiersp,an referring TO
this important event, says:
This must prove OF considerable impor-
lance TO the Upper Mississippi country, as
II will demonstrate that near or quite two
hundred miles Of the Mississippi river above
this can be navigated by steamboats,. There
are doubts about the river being navigable
between this and point some twenty miles
above Crow Wing, which this trip Of the
North Star will solve. and We shall await
the result Of it with much interest. There
is no doubt. however, but that il is naviga-
BILE from that point to Pokegama.
IL required but little more than q day
for the North Star to yet over the rapids
here, and she was got over without any &C
cideut, although IN passing the last tall at
the very head Of the rapids, she careened
Just as her bow entered the foam, so much
that water dashed over the side, and for a
lev moments II appeared that she must be
swamped. She righ,ei, however, and was
windlassei over in a few minutes more so
lar beyond the influence OF the rapids rs to
enable her to prosecute her journey by the
use alone OF the engine We should like
much TO be in the Indian camps above, when
The shril whistle Of this steamer is first
heard by them, TO bear their conjecturs and
specala''oos- An earthquake could not
cause much more CONSERVATION amongst
them than will the sound Of this boat to
those Who have no in,imation Ut its approach,
although they have come TO regard the pale
faces IN respect to such improvements, Is
more than human.

Mlna. sofa Ia Congress.

On Tuesday last, on motion Of Mr..
STEPHENS, Of Georgia, the Senate bill for
the admission of Minnesota, WINS taken from
the Speakers table. A debate cnsued on
the bill. and without coming to concln
sion, the House adjourned. On Wednesday
the debate was resumed, but without arriv,
ing Mt definite result, the House again al
journcd. The bill, of course, cane up for
debate or final action on Thursday.
We learn from Washington, that on Mon
day last, the general impression there in re-
gard to the Minnesota bill. was that il would
be opposed in the House, by the Republi-
cans, the South Americans, and few ultra
Southern Democrats. There was no doubt
entertained. however Of the passage OF the
bill within week or ten days from that
time. A number of Republicans were de-
termincd to vote for immediate admission,
notwithstanding the RAMSEY CoorrR cir
cular.

We understand that two enterprising
gentlemen, Messrs. TANNING and TAYLOR,
have made arrangements 10 place on the
Big Sioux River, during the ensuing sum.
mer, two light draught steamboats,. These
steamers are intended to run regularly be-
tween Sioux City On the Missouri, at the
mouth Of the Big Sioux, and the new town
of Eminija-a distance Of one hundred and
forty miles. Eminija is situated at the
mouth Of Split Rock River, few miles be-
low the falls Of the Sioux.
Mr.. flaming has Just returned from the
Big Sioux, and appears fully satisfied Of the
practicability, financially and otherwise, Of
the enterprise referred to. During the ex-
IRENE low water Of last season, Mr. +. ex-
plOred the Sioux river, for the purpose Of
ascertaining the depth Of water in the
stream. He pronounces the river nayiga-
BILE, for light dranght boats, at all seasons,
Except, Of course, winter from its mouth
to Emlnija; during portion Of the sum
mer, he informs us, large boats will have no
difficulty in ascending the river.
Mr.. TANNING, on reaching Sioux Falls
this spring, was much surprised to find that
two boats were already in the Sioux river
trade, each Of them having made trip to
Eminija.
Above the falls of the Sioux, the water
during portion Of the Summer, is ample
for light draught boats for distance Of one
hundred miles.
