While the editor Of the Minnesotian
writes a, length to prove that by the fraud
ulent conduct of outside parties the Terri
tory Of Minnesota lost the Minnesota and
Northwestern Land Grant, Gov. CONAN
comes forward, over bis own signature, and
proposes that the citizens Of Minnesota shall
reiinquish our railroad enterprises to the
outsiders-men who like ERAsrus CoRS-
ING, THuRLow WEED and Others find il easy
to profess that they have money TO build the
road.
AT least they male such propositions last
June. Almost any twenty men last June
would have promised as much Perhaps
plenty Of Eastern capitalists and adventur-
ers, if the citizens of Minnesota would sur
render everything to them, pouid promise as
mneh more but the people Of Minnesota
will be likely TO vote for measure, which
will make US independent Of Messrs. WEED,
MArrEsos, SAGE Il Go. The great argu.
ment for the Loan il. that thereby the roads
will be kept under Home influence and con.
rol--a Home contract system will become
practicabec while the works will be prompt
ly pushed forward TO completion.

The CRYSTAL OIL Lamp.

Hearing so much said in commentator OF
the lamp exhibited in this city at No, Mer-
chants Row, and feeling DESTROYS to know the
real merits of the case, that We might set be-
our readers true statement OF the same. we
determined to give the matter our personal
nyestigation-which having done we feel
competent after carefully watching the thing
in all its stages, to express an unbiased Cpl
MON. without fear of over-estimating or lead
ing our readers astray. We have seen lnven-
tions and heard theories. but in this we see a
practical utility unparalleled In all cur ac-
ouaintance, and we feel fully prepared to en-
dorse all we have heard in its praise, and even
add more, if possible. 1t makes clear. stea
DIV and brilliant white fame, producing light
at cost of one cent for three hours, equallIHg
by minute comparison eleven fluid tubes at a
cost of six cents for the same time, beside the
gratifying thought that it is entirely free from
danger To look at the light, one would
hardly believe it to be reality, so steady is
the fame even when subjected TO strong
draft of air. Being entirely free from any
odor whatever. and seemingly impossible TO
smoke, even when carried up or down stairs
as fast as person can walk or conveniently
run. and being adapted to any 'style of lamps
we believe il destined to be universally adop-
ted throughout the world.
1t is that kind of reality that not only at
tracts, but permanently conVinces all who see
IL. and hence, the great interest 1eit by mer-
chants and spectators to invest in it. Being
secured by a strong patent. it precludes the
possibility of risk in investing in it. This
patent the proprietors are selling out by States
and Territories, some parties neg osiating for
one State and others more, who are intending
to sell again by counties, cities or towns,
thereby securing an immense profit, besides
securing a permanent business in the supply
of oil and lamps TO such as buy the right
We hope something will be done with our
own State soon, so that we can enjoy this lux
ury, although we hear the company have
thought of reserving the State or part Of it
for their own retail business. But we think
the immense trade of supplying the whole
States in such quantities as will be demanded,
will be all they will he able to attend to- We
were particularly impressed with this, as being
a rare opportunity tor one DESTROYS of going
West or South to establish business-unlike
most any other, which would require years of
hard and patient toll TO establish. This would
build up itself almost instantaneous Indeed
a demand would be created on arrival We
have thus given this lengthy notice, because
we view it to be really useful invention,
interesting to all, particularly those who are
fortunate enough to secure to themselves an
interest in the patent-BOStOn illus and Daily

PORTABLE STEAM ESGINEs.-The day is not
far distant when most Of the heavy labor and
announcement drugery of the farm will be per-
formed by machinery propelled by steam.
Every year, and indeed every month, witnesses
a further extension of their application in all
branches of business. The success of the
Portable Engines to the purposes of agricul
ture marks an era in the progress of steam in
vention and application, it is one of the most
admirable of the Improvements of the age.
Mr.. CAMP, the agent of the Newark Machine
Works, Ohio, has specimen of this engine
in store with ARMSTRONG IL Co. Market street,
which is greatly superior, SO far as we are
able to judge, to anything OF the kind, we have
ever seen. 1t is mounted on wheels and may be
as readily transferred from one place to another
as a common road wagon. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a Plantation Locomotive, adapted
to machinery of any descriptions; neat, small,
simple and convenient. 1t will astonish and
CRAFTY our planting friends to look at it, even
if they should not wish to purchase.

HORSES AND MULEs.-Thcse valuable ami
mails are subject to almost as many diseases
and accidents as human beings; and thousands
are lost every year, either for the want of
their owners knowing how to treat them, or
from using inferior articles. This is peculiar
ly the case in regard to such diseases as spav-
in, springhalt, poll evil, and all such diseases
as arise from sprains, bruises, harness gals,
&c. All these diseases are readily durable by
the use of some penetrating liniment, which
is absorbed by the pores of the skin. and at
once drives Off the bad humors that feed and
keep up the disease. Among all the Lini-

trative and diffusive principle to such de-
gree as DIR. BRACES ARCTIC LTNIMENT. Pro-
prietors of omnibus routes, livery stables and
