M1LLs.-We were this week through
the planning mill, sash and blind factory
Of Messrs. Raymond Owen and Co.; and
the grist mill of N. N. and +. S. Smith
This appeared to be very we'll arranged,
but it was still having a belt adjusted.
The other was making the chips fly at a
great rate. The machinery is driven by a
Pittsburg engine Of twenty horse power,
built By A. Irwin. 1t is considered here;
a most perfect pcice Of machinery; aud far
superior to any engine that has yet been
brought to this region from New England
and set to work 10 test its quality. We
are glad to hc2r this; as we have always
thought the Iron City apart from beingthe
most delightful combination Of streets,
houses and people that stands any where
on like surface of earth, is the best ma
chine shop in America. The proplietors
Of this engine are doing fine business
and through all the hard times their prem
Uses have been a perfect hive Of industry

North West. .

Some people think st. Cloud is in the
North West but this appears TO- be mis-
take. Carts came iu with one of the Red
River trains which had came twelve hun
bred miles to reach this place. They left
home on the 7th of March. One man says
he lives seven hundred miles moth west OF
this, and has friends living one thousand
miles north Of that; and says that up there
they have the finest climate in the world;
and that that country is unsurp. csed for
agricultural products. We feel lille
anxious lest it should be discovered by
and by that we are 'away down east" and
feel somewhat like taking up our line Of
march for the great west. 49,

A Change.

Before issuing the Vis:;ier on the new
type we proposed to members of the COM
mittee of stock holders to place the paper
on some basis where We alone should be le-
gally responsible for our words; but they
just laughed in our face and said Ego
ahead" Last week when we found thaS
Jeemes had reached the aehme of imperti-
nance and entered suit against them for
SANDER, we positively refused 10 continue
our connection with TIE paper unless they
would get out of the way. They had new
er made the slightest attempt to dictate or
control our course, but we like to feel sole
ly responsible for our acts; and would have
rented the Office from them. Lcap;a.
our decision they had meeting and vo-
ted unanimously to present it to us, thus
showing a continuance of that generous
confidence with which they have honored
us from the first; and we trust they may
never regret it. We are now sole propri-
etor and editor of the st. Cloud Nsiter as
the result Of the unremitting and dcspei:-
ate efforts Of the Buchanan democracy to
get rid Of our opposition to the administrs-
ton. IF they are mot satisfied we hope
they soon will be-. ~. .,"

peace" yet make that peace living tomb
Let every man, woman and child Of St.
Cloud treat these Vandals with that su-
preme contempt they SO richly deserve"
Let priest, layman and citizen shun them
as they would the vilest contagion, and let
them be treated publicly, socially and po~
litically as too vile for men to ning]e with,
until they shall say that ''all the blood Of
all the Kings" will not wash out this VIII
lsinom act, IT'S said that "consciencc is
mans aee.,ser," by this coarse then, will
these dastards reap the bencft of their
cowardly deed; yet, perhaps 'tis ar Unfair
hypothesis to assume that they have con-
science, out if every citizen will treat them
as though he or she we're the victim Of
their malice and have nothing to do with
them but "pass by on t'other eide" then
they can't help but feel their punishment.
I trust st., Cloud will purge itself Of this
affair and let "justice be done though the:
heavens fall"

A\'lLo.,
The Flood and its Effects.

The great flood with Which our river
towns aud bottom lands have recently hc. j.,
devastated, has subsidized: and we are le.:
without any apprehensions O; liuythcr*y*.r
sion for This season; but we have 10 :nnu.a
overan amount of damage to life. to COIN; orlr
aud to proper ty wholly inc;lculable. Whole
towns and villages located upon the low
lands have been depopulated, and. in some
cases, almost entirely Destroyed. Farm,
houses, fences, and other IL u,'$ have '.cen
swept from their positions by the rcmor<'
less tide, aud some large aud valuable Plan
tations have been entirely ruined by dcpos-
lis of sand upon what before was The rich
est alluyial soil. Thousands upon thousands
of horses, cattle, and other animals have
been drowned. Families have been driven
from their homes, and, in some cases, in
destitute and even suffering circumstances
A1d what is 10 be lamented far more, many
very many lives have been lost.
No estimate has been or can be made as
to the amount Of pccuniary damage caused
by the food. We have seen it stated that
the loss, below the mouth of the Ohio viii
not fall short Of thirty millions Of dollars:
but this is only "guess work" !, and, We hope,
largely ove..,g,,cxsed. s..:.sr. ~
Between Alton aud Cairo, on the Illinois
shore, there is rich and deusely populated
bottom, from one TO ten miles in width ex-
tendiogallthe way, exceptat Chester, where,
:ssr distance ofabout four miles, there is
no DO! com land at all, This immense tract
Of rich country has all, OF nearly all been
under water. The destruction of property
has been immense, aud much distress and
suffering have been caused; and but for the
exer,;ons of the steamers Woe. Gore;s,,
RodozoA, and others, the suffering and loss
Of life would have been far creator. To
the officers Of the first named steamer par
ticularly, too much praise cannot be awar-
dcd. The W;,,. Ga.:ots is, and has been
for over year, a)regular t,;-weekly packet
between ST. Louis and Chester, and, as such
is one of the most popular boats on the RI
YER. No sooner had the water risen above
the river banks, thus rendering the bottom
residences unsafe and uncomfortable, than
the Wa. Gar0iin starred out on q voyage of
relief and mercy. Regardless Of risk. time
or expense, Capt. ZEiGLER took up and con-
veyed to places Of safety evrey family and
every person requiring assistance, saving
also their property and their stock too when
ever it was possible to do So Such disin-
terested conduct merits the highest need
Of praise. Ahon Courier

The CRops.-We have the prospect of
one Of the most bountifal harvests that
ever blessed any portion of this ear,n.-
Men fom all parts of the country agree in
saying they have never seen wheat look f.
ner and some think it superior to any thing
ever seen even in the finest wheat growing
districts Of Illinois. Some of the spring
wheat was sown too late and will not do
we'll, and in other fields little worm has
killed portion Of The heads. It is DESERT
bed as small white magot, ha;fthe length
g I'd thickness Of a4-.s hoe+-pese,, and it is
found in the upper joint of thestalk. We
have found nc one who can tell us what it
is, and when we say that the description
answers that we have heard given of the
Hessian fly, all roundly assert that it is not
the Hessian fly. Those acquainted with
the "joint worm" say it is not that; and
we have heard no definite opinion as to
what it is. Its first appearance created
alarm, but the danger is past and the dam
age is inconsiderable. Our farmers gener-
ally purpose to cu!tirato the winter wheat
as best suited TO the soil and climate
That and rye are now ready for the reaper;
and all other crops arein luxuriant g1owt!>.

A Re/oym Convention.

Some one sends us the proceedings Of a
convention lately .heldat Rutland Vermont,
and on the margin writes "what do you
think .ofthis?" We think that any editor
whospablilhes the proceedings, either IL
who!ssor il part, of such gatherings snght
oughtsto y liable to heavy fine and i'm
prisonment. Il, Ill: sSs
It is the press that is responsible for the
sayings and doings Of these people. They
are :, set of lunatics and nosane man should
think Of publishing one word of their bab-
bic. All this people want, is to see them
selves in print; end take this plan to get
themselves and their dosmas gratuitously
advertised. In this they succeed 10 anice-
ty and it is now an established fact that
any one who wishes to poison the public
mind with any kind of infernalism; and
get himself or herself advertised has only
to get up convention; and the press is
teeming with the important matter. ~.
The more preposterous their proceedings
the better for their purpose. All their
acts and isms, and out goings and incom-
ings are heralded and commented upon and
pow vowed oyer, ny Infinitely as though
they were the most important things in life.
Thus the object of the convention is fully
gained and we soon have another. Then
the evil of it, is that there are thou c,lds
upon thousands who read and fail u seper-
ate between the Conventionists and the
causes they bespatter with their babble.
None have such cause todeprecate conven-
tons as the sane and sincere friends of hui
man freedom, for to all the questions con-
corning it these notoriety hunters attach
themselves with the pertinacity of barna-
clcs to an old ship. We think of conven-
lions, in general, pretty much as Col. Ben
ton did Of the national article; but the
very name of a womans rights conven-
ton" ora "Reform convention" oran :'auti-
slavery convention" gives us the chills.z
From all such agencies may the good Lord
deliver his cause. T
