TALL RYE.-Wc were yesterday shown
by JNo. S. LAMBERT, Esq, of Mounds View
Ramsey County, (about II miles from Saint
Paul, )-some heads of Rye, which were TAX
en- off Of stalks six feet in height, grown on
his farm at that place. The stalks through
out the field are all of the same height and
the ears are very full and heavy. 1t was
sowed on October 2l, 1857, and Mr.. L. de-
signs cutting it in day or two. 1t will
yield from 40 to so bushels to the acre,-thus
completely scouting the assertion that we
have often heard made, that Rye cannot be
grown in Minnesota to advantage,-an un-
truth that has prevented many of our farmers
from attempting its culture. Mr.. Lambert
reports the crops of every kind through his
neighborhood as very full and heavy.

SIN. Unfortunate
AS soon as the DINER was ready, the ladies
we're notified to go forward and partake,-
Over three thousand ladies ate at the first
table, and many hundreds had to wait until
the second.
While the ladies were at dinner, Frank
Lumbard and his band of vocalists sang the
81 Star Spangled Banner" the audience join
ing in the chorus. 1t was sung with the most
thrilling effect-the patriotic pulse of our
people went up to a fever heat.
About five O'Clock the gathering adjourned,
after passing unanimous resolution to meet
at the same place on the 4th Of July, 1859.
When the assemblage On the Island begun
to dispcrse, large number ofladies and gen.
tIemen went up the Mississippi on an excur-
sion trip. The party on board the steamboat
enjoyed themselves very much.
Everybody were highly pleased with them
selves, and everybody else but the happi est
man that 4" ere the sun shone on,'' was a
young gentleman with dark whiskers, shiny
hat, and brass coat with blue buttons.
..Some may be blessed, but he was glorious,
| O'er all the ills of life victorious"
He was full Of music, and yet he would
sing but one melody, 'Gentle Annien
One bevy Of happy young ladies which
fell within the observation of your humble
scribe reminded him, as they sat and chatted
together in the opening at the after cabin, of
a brilliant boquet Of bright various flowers

each was beautiful. The group fascinated
me, and consulting Zeno" We agreed that
neither Of us had ever seen party Of ladies
assembled accidentally, which possessed in
the aggregate, so much eloquence and beauty
and we named the group "The Boquet of
Beauty"
Returning from the excu. sion before sun
down, number of US passed the evening
with some fair excursionists and leaving
them, ere we retired to sleep off the patriot
SIN, we dropped in at the ''Ncolet House,

We Gen. Cass I'm Michigan.
Extract of Letter from Gentleman in Michigan to
his Friend in st. Paul, dated June %, 1858.

Extract Of Letter from Gentleman in Michigan to
his Friend in st. Paul, dated June %, 1883.
You have undoubtedly heard of the recent
removal Of r. N. Davis, u S. Marshal for
the State of Michigan. 1t is giving rise to
much loud talk in our Democratic ranks, that
are growing beautifully less every day
Strong indications of Indignation are visible
at this act of stupidity in the removal from
office of the only generally acceptable official
in this State. Mr.. Davis was appointed Mar
shal by Mr.. Buchanan, in April, 1857. The
entire Democracy of Michigan heartily ell
dorsed the appOintment-his official acts
have never been questioned, even by his po-
ltical opponents, his reputation as gentle
man and man of striking worth and integ-
rity universally acknowledged his opposi-
ton to the Kansas iniquity his only political
sin. Mr. Davis removal is charged directly
to the influence of General Cass within four
weeks the President and Attorney General
have stated that General Cass claimed the
right to control it.
have ever been Democrat from princi-
pie, have lived fifteen years in the State of
Michigan, and it has been my delight to see
Gen. Cass honored; he has been elevated to
his high position through the jealous efforts
of his friends in this State, and now to watch
him in his acts of outrage upon that trus ting
people, to see him cut down men who have
spent their money, time and strength to sup,
port him, and feel that he is out of their
reach to chastise, is too humliating for men
who can feel the weight of insult to submit to-
without raising voice Of indignation. This
act is secuted at as Infamous by the Demo
cratic press Throughout the State, and know
that nine-tcnths Of the party heartily condemn
it, and will ere long make themselves heard
in loud tones, through the ballot-box.
Yours, ROMEO.

Company, informs us that the company here
have received word from New York that
their loan of 100000 has been negotiated

pleasantly, and in very quiet manner. The
city was almost deserted St. Paul fed to
the lakes and groves in the vicinity. White
Bear, and other places of resort were crowd
ed. The juvenile portion went to Lake
Como-and enjoyed itself hugely-and the
thousand and one smaller and less noted
lakes and lakelets had ca III their merry party
of ric-nic-ers, with baskets and bottles, and
oks,-and poles and lines, and ice and lem
ons,-etc. The piscatory tribe suffered heav-
lily, if we may credit the stories of these ang-
lers, and everybody had "such a delightful
time"
IN THE CITY.
No general celebration took place in St
Paul. Our militia seemed to have lost all
their ardor, and could not get up home
parade. The Shields Guards, under COM
mand of Capt. O'Gormon, turned out quite
agood array of uniforms, and paraded through
the.principal streets, and the St. Paul Light
Cavalry mustered quite early in the morning,
and went up to St. Anthony, where they
spent the day, and no doubt, from their bril-
liant uniforms and fine equipments, and
mounting, attracted a fair need of praise.
THE FANTAsTICALs,
Who created so much merriment last year,
were again out to the number Of about Is or
20, looking more intensely grotesque, and
ridiculous, and amusing than ever. We for
bear attempting the impossiblity of des-
cription, only to say that they felt the hard
times too, for this year they had to parade
on foot.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
Being unprovided as yet with machines .
made no demonstration, as they otherwise
would have done. One independent COM
pany composed Of the workmen at the Ro-
tary Mill, with new engine just purchased
for them by JOHN S. PRINCE, Esq, paraded
through the streets with a neat uniform, and
looked remarkably we'll.
OUR NATIONAL BANNER,
Was displayed from numerous buildings.
and most Of the hotels and saloons were dec
GRATED in an appropriate manner. In the
evening, fireworks were let off in various
parts of the city, and q continual popping of
crackers, &c, could be heard.
AT LAKE COMO.
The Baptist Sunday School Scholars,
with their parents and friends had very
pleasant celebration ofthe great anniversary.
A very large number assembled there, for
numerous Juveniles in no way connected with
that Sabbath School ''rung in on the same
liberal footing. The exercises were very in
teresting, and consisted Of ofsinging and an ad-
dress by gentleman Of that church. The
table was bounifully supplied, and the pro-
visions which remaiedd after satisfying the
appetites of SO many little folks, were given
to the poor. Col. McKcnty's Fleet of Yachts,
which he had kindly placed at the disposal
OF the party, was kept busy all day in riding
full leads over the clear waters of the lake.
No accidents happened, end everybody re-
turned well satisfied.

Tn. ,v,,n.sota state Loan Taken.

The money article of the New i0rA 4'''
buue of July =, contains the following inter-
esting paragraph relative to the taking OF our
State Loan:
mTbe State of Minnesota loan Of S25o,OOO
WAS awarded to-day (July ~ to Messrs.
clark. Dodge 4 Co, at per cent for an
ner cent stock. This is rery lo,c for State
stocJ. and the loan would no doubt have gone
1i,her if it had been property GdrertSed.
Very few parties lcere dudre that such loan
,cts on The market The biddings were

From the remarks of the Tribune it
would seem that Mr.. SIBLEY would have
done better to have more fully advised capi-
taliSts that such loan was on the market
and to be taken, than to have fooled away
his time going to New York, as if his pre-
sencc would amount to row of pins in the
matter. We are glad, however, that the
loan is taken; and its immediate effect will
doubtless be to raise our State Scrip abore
par, by Just the amount of interest due on its
face-about SIS on every hundred.
