The Roll Of DishOnor.

Our own State of Ohio was m iserably
misrepresented, in part, when the final vote
on the English h-LecomptOn bill was taken
in the House Of Representatives. Every
Democrat voted in favor Of the outrage;
and this, after most Of them had agreed
too, and pledged their word and honor to
the Republicans, to stand by the doctrine
of popular sovereignty to the end. They
had not only voluntarily taken the ground
of accepting nothing less than full and
fair submission of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition to a vote of the people ofKansas, but
they were even clamorous in urging the
Republicans to act with them, and in de-
clating that the adoption ofthe Crittenden'
Montgomery bill, was the only plan by
which the trouble could be settled, and
peace restored to the country. Did they
stand by their own propositionG No soon.
er did the Republicans endeavor to close
the Kansas question, by supporting this
bill, than these Ohio recreants betrayed
them, slunk back to the enemy, and voted
for measure nearly similar to the one
against which they had fought. Unless
the President has something in store fOl
Messrs Cox. Pendleton, Hall, Miller, Law
renee, GrocsbeCk and COckerill, they may
as we'll hang their harps upon tho willow
for it is not likely that the people of 0hic
will ever be betrayed or misrepresented BY
them again.

ORIGIN OF THE ODD FELLows.-Many
persons who are under the impression that
the society of Odd Fellows is an origins-
ton of modern times will be somewhat
surprised to learn that its origin dates as
far back rs The time of Nero, and was es-
tablished by the Roman soldiers in the
year Sd. AT that time they were called
"Fellow Citizens" the present name being
given them by Titus Cesar, "a years af-
forwards, and they were so called from the
singular character of their meetings, and
from their knowing each other by night OF
day BY means of mystical signs and Ian.

Tn Weather Ia Minnesota

IRON ne NnOnA Iim.s-
During the present winter we have fire.
quently noticed that the Eastern papers
have spoken Of our Minnesota winter as
being remarkably severe, and the SHOWS
very deep; particularly around Winona
That they have been misinformed, all of our
citizens are well aware but for the benefit
OF those at distance, we would say that
our winter, instead of being severe has been
very mild. Indeed it hes been so mild here,
that up TO the present time, we have been
unable to procure any good ice for the next
summer. We are glad to say, however, that
the prospect now is, that we will have some
colder weather and in that case we will be
able to pack away sufficient quantity Of
that excellent, solid, clear ice that is peculiar
to this region Of country.
Persons at u distance who have never ex-
pcrienced Minnesota winter, are not pre-
pared to understand its pleasant PECULIAR
ties. 10 them, the idea of the mercury
standing at from 20 to 80 degrees below
zero for weeks, is almost horrible, but TO us
there is nothing unpleasant about it. The
air is pure and bracing, and the sun shines
as brightly as in midsummer while the sky
is clear and cloudlsss, and |. the wind is en-
tirely at rest. The snow is as dry as pow
der, and our people travel around in Indian
moccasins, without the least dampness to the
feet. With every breath we draw we nhale
life and health as though we were slipping
from the cup Of the Elixir of life. We
have no coughs or colds, here, unless they
are imported; no chapped hands and faces
but with rudy cheeks and healthy lungs we
bid defiance to the cold. Sickness or dealt
is rare among us, at all Seasons Of the year,
but in the glorious bracing winter time, the
dark nantes Of sorrow and mourning do
not come to sadden us.
II this seems incredible 10 you, stranger,
come and see US, and know Tor yourself
Come in the joyful spring.time, when our
magnificent prairies roll out before you COW
cred with beauty and verdure when our
crystal streams dash merrily along, over
their pebbly bottoms and when our farms
begin to whisper the first words OF harvest
Come in the summer, when nature is in her
glory. Come in the autumn, when the rich
harvest is rolling in from those farms when
the varied tints Of departed summer clothe
those forests In their royal robes and when
at night, the glazing fire rolls over those
wild prairies, and creep along our bluffs and
hills. kissing the very heavens with its liquid
tongues Of fame, and leaves behind it those
prairies and hills enriched for the use OF
man. Or come to US in the winter, when
our sky ia bright, our air pure, our fuel
plenty, our spirits high, and our health good
and our word for it, you will say with us,
Here is our Home"

The Adrotiser Of the 9Th thus speaks Of
the position Of Minnesota, with reference o
her competition for the emigration that will
come West during the present year:
Minnesota is walled about on the east and
south by cordons Of enemies. Emgrants hith

absolutely TO fight their way through our enc
mics, combined on all sides 10 misrepresent and
abuse US. The people Of Iowa and Wisconsin
especially. alarmed at the emigration Of their
own citizens TO Minnesota. and indignant at
being spurned by the tide which rolls oy.r
them and past them TO our own beautiful Ter
ntory, have omitted no opportunity 10 give ef
Iect 10 these Jealousies. To these sources We
owe tbs drizzling rain Of photographic detrac
ton which is forever trckling down the news
coiumns OF Eastern papers-the multitudinous,
unimaginable, base lies Of no origin, which are
hung upon the tide Of daily facts by hordes OF
anonymous letter-writers from Dubuque and
Milwaukee, and other similar out.of. the way
places. Their combination never comes 10 light
The entire press Of this Territory has concur
red--not once alone, but hundreds Of tmes-n
placing the brand VI falsehood on the stories
which have been circulated abroad to our dis
credit. Yet the denial scarcely reaches further
Than The limits OF our newspaper circulation
And 1t has come to this-that Minnesota is IN
DAu odof NJ the East, and II has come TO be be-
iieyed that We have nothing left Of all the mag
nihcent gifts with which nature has endowed
us, to ofer A. an inducement to emigration
that our climate, the thing above all others

pitabie and unfavorable to agriculture that

our harvests are annually devastated by grass
bop9ers-that our finances are bankrupt, and
that we are living on the proceeds of exploded
humbugs.
Against all this the facts that trickle through
the Post Office are Of little avail. Indeed the
facts themselves are not vociferously encoura-
ging, and are quite bad enough without the
exaggerations Of our enemies. The facts are

An AMERICAN OBTAINS 81 1,000, 900 IN A
sur A0AlNsT TUE RUSSIAN GovERNMEyr.
The Baltimore Patria Of Thursday states
that Thomas Winans of that city has just
recovered claim OF S5,0O0.000 against the
Russian Government, which makes his share
OF the proceeds from freight and passenger
travel over the railroads OF that country reach
the sum Of Sl7O0O,O0O, drafts Tor which
on the banks of Europe have been brought
on TO him. IL appears that in his contract
with Russia he was TO receive per centagc
ON all freight and passenger travel, but il is
thought by the Government that they were
exempted from this tax when applied TO the
transportation Of soldiers to take part in
the war in the Crimea. lie accordingly en-.
gagged the services Of John H. y. Iatrobe,
lawyer, lwho went 90 and recovered the
claim by due course OF law and. on account
Of the many thousand soldiers transported,
his proportion was swollen from twelve to
seventeen millions.
Mr.. IA,robe received icc of $4,000 per
month, independent Of his expenses, and up
on reaching Baltimore and announcing the
result Of his labors was presented with a
check TOR $4,000.
The Pair'a says that Mr. Winans has
purchased tract Of land with water front,
where, having received contract from the
Russian Government he will proceed to the
construction OF number II magnificent
vessels OF war.
Mr.. Winans is the gentleman who ilumi-
mated his residence in Baltimore when news
was received Of some good fortune of the
Russians in the CrimeAn var.
