few items Of interest relative to that new
country. First from SAxs Introductory
We issue to day from Sioux Falls City the
first newspaper ever printed within the limits
Of the Territory Of Dakota; and with brief
Introductory note to its future acquaintance,
we propose to let 90 ell fastenings, and set Il.
sdrift upon the vide ocean Of newspaperdom,
there TO take chance among its thousands OF
compeers already under sail.
We offer il a. q channel through which our
own citizens may find ready hearing and its
columns will at all times be open TO the free
discussion OF any question bearing upon our
local policy, or to other matters Of general
interest. .
Politically, as its name fully indicates, our
paper will adhere to the Democratic faith
whenever it shall have occasion 10 enter the
arena Of politics. Fer the present, however,
we shall have little occasion TO discuss issues
OF national bearing in our columns. But the
time will come-we trust soon-and when il
does, our friends will know where 20 find ~.

The CRoPs.-Throughout the ensjinYalley Of
the Sioux, so far as We have infdk1ation, the
farmers speak of their crops as Axceeding in
thrift and forwardness their moskSanguine ex.
pectatons. The corn and whe sgcrops, in par.
tcular, they represent as promiknSsa yield
equal to any precedent in their experience.

readiness for the sickle. New potatoes are al.
ready in the market, and will yield frou three

Mr.. +. deserves, and We think he receives,
the hearty commentator Of his constituents
throughout the Territory, for his uutiring exer.
tons IN behalf OF their interests daring the past
Two years. The station occupied BY him, as q
Delegate from Territory stjI outsiis,p<he
bounds of Congressional organization, vas at
best thankiess Office. and one which could in
no wise be remunerative to rs occupant; but
instead, continued and heavy drain upon his
private means. OF this fsct Mr.. n. was fully
aware; andyet with disinteresfedness which
may yet be remembered by the citizens Of this
Territory, when called upon he laid aside his
private pursuits. and for the term oftw yssrs
devoted his time, talents and means TO the fur.
therance of the interests OF his adopted home.
That he labored faithfully and arduousiy, il not
entirely successfully, the proceedings of the
late Congress exhibit ample proof; that his
services have been fully appreciated, the tn.
ture records Of Dakota will, We doubt not, bear
full evidence.
We understand il TO be the desire Of Mr.. F.,
since the term for which he was chosen is now
expired, toremsin in the Territory, and in some
measure make amends to his private Affairs for
the past two years neglect incident TO his
residence at Washington. should be do so,
and another be chosen in his stead, his succes
