One of the St. Paul papers congratulates
itself that the number of votes cast at the
late election indicates that the population of
the territory is mot diminishing 1t would be
rather surprising if the population of new
territory like that were diminishing, and the
mere fact that such result was apprehen l.
ed, is significant of a peculiar state of affairs
there --.W free Dem.
Not so, Mr.. Free Democrat Our vote
shows no decrease in voters, but shows the
proportion of voters is smaller compared to
the population. his is so all over the West.
Men, voters, are more largely in ratio to the
population, than in older settled states. Once
tiol, now, it is nearer five, showing popula-
ton Of about: - 900, being an increase.

The Fright Spreading.

MARYLAND is on the alert for invaders as well
as Virginia. The Governor has ordered the
Sheriff of Washington county to appoint a
sufficient number of deputies residing along
or near the boundary line between that State
and Pennsylvania, and others also along the
Potomac river, who may be empowered toact
with the authority of law in the case of an as
sembly of unlawful character, or men whose
character and purpose are not known, and SO
arrest and detain them. In pursuance Of this
order the Sheriff has summoned 500 men in
various parts of the county to act as his spe-
cial deputies. Slightly expressive, we should
think Suppose the Union was dissolved?

The Election in New York.
The Tribune of the 18th remarks

The Tribune of the 18th remarks
THE SrArE-We do not mean to shout
just yet, but having carefully revised our ia
BILE by the light of every dispatch and scrap
of return that has reached us, laboriously
comparing the township returns we have from
counties not fully reported with the respec-
tive votes of those townships last year, it
looks very much as though Elias Leaven-
worth and his associates on the Republican
State Ticket who had to bear the brunt of
both Democratic and American antagonism
concentrated on one ticket were elected by at
least 5000 majority. Leavenworth seems to
be ahead 3,4l2 votes.
WHAT BROOKS OF THE NEW YORK EXPRESS
THINKS OF IT!
The editor of the New York Express, the
leader of the American party in that State
or what is left of it, the rump-is perhaps the
most bitter fighter of Mr.. Seward in the
North, though both belonged to the old Whig
party. In his paper of the 18th, he says:
INDoRsMENT OF Mr. SEwARD.-If this State
has elected the whole Republican ticket, with
an sort of any emphasis, the Endorsement of
VIM. H. Seward as the Northern States can
didate for the Presidency is clear. If such
mere sectional party is to contine to exist, no
candidate is SO proper to head it, as he-and
he ought to be nominated in the Northern
States Convention
THE 1860 BATTLE OF THE STATES.
RI" The negro" it is then clear, cannot be
kept of, or showed off the track, but will
figure in 1860 as in lS56-and the real battle
ground about him will be now, where it was
then, in the border States of Pennsylvania,
Illinois, and Indiana with Cali orna and New
Jersey.
The Southern States candidate for the Pres
idency will, in 1860, probably add Maryland
to the Southern vote.

Progress Of Civilization and Christianity
among the Indians.
New YORK, Nov. 6, 1859.
To the Editors Of the Manesottan:
l write to you as one friend of humanity
may to another, to ask for further information
in regard to the progress OF civilization made
by the Indians of your Northwestern region.
1t must have been gratifying to every per-
son of benevolent feelings, and whose sympa-
thies are not limited to his own narrow circle,
to see the evidences of the good results of the
various Christian missions, aided by the liber-
al and pure minded United States officials,
in bringing in the entire tribe of PiAagers,
(Which, if | am not much mistaken, is the
name given to tribe or band of Obwas,)
within the pale of civilization and Christianity.
| was aware that the Rev. J. Lloyd Breck, and
others, had made some years of effort for such
result, but | had never given credit to Mai.
Lynde, and the intelligent halfbreed, Truman
Warren, for having in so liberal spirit car
ried out the work SO well begun. supposed
they had too many early associations with
and predictions for the original habit of Pill
Laying, ever to have seconded so admirably
tho efforts of Christians, as to have made two
hundred good citizens at Leech Lake.
These gentlemen should be enrolled on the
list of human benefactors. The Secretary of
the American Board of Domestic Missions
would receive it as great favor, if you, or
perhaps our statistical friend Jno. A. w ESQ.
would collect such evidences of the fruits of
Christian effort, and forward them for publ-
cation to the Missionary Herald
have learned that amorg the Sioux a sim
liar state of things existed, brought about by
one Mr.. Brown, (not "Old John Brown but
the one that had ''little Indian,") name
that presume you have heard before, and
somewhat distinguished in the age of Philan-
thropy.
Hoping to hear from you soon, remain,
Very truly, your friend,

EGGS AND BUrTER.-At Young America
Carver, Chaska. and other towns, we fonnd
the village traders full of butter and Fl eSh
eggs. which, thank fortune, were mostly the
produce of the country bordering towards
Glencoe. The Big Woods appear to be full
of chickens and cows-eggs being only ten
cents per dozen, and butter bit a pound
Another advantage the settlers of the Big
Woods have over their prairie neighbors is,
they all have fat pork this fall acorns and
other nuts have done the work most hand
somely. There is not ID poor hog--such us in
Illinois are termed "land sharks" or "pral-
RE breakers between Glencoe and Carver.
They are all fat and s!eek-all ready for the
pork barrel and fryng-pan without further
expense to their owners. This is one reason
why pork will be so low this fall.
So says the Glencoe Register. Why don't
the said " viage-traders' send the butter,
eggs, &c, to st. Paul, where the prices are
high, and where the same articles are shipped
from below, to our discredit as a producing,
grazing State? We scarcely dare price those
articles in our market they are so high. A
profit of cents pound on butter, and ten
or more on eggs, can be made.

A Southern Territory out Of California.

Southern Territory out Of California.
At the last session of the Legislature pro-
vision was made for submitting to the voters
in the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San
Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis, Obispo and
Tulare the question as to these counties being
segregated from the State and erected into a
territory to be called Colorado
The law required that two-thirds Of those
voting should make valid the consent given
by the Legislature for the division of the State.
The returns received show the vote to be for
the Territory, 2,457 against s2s. This de-
cides the question, as far as the people are
concerned, in the affirmative, though it seems
strange that the matter Of dividing the State
should be left to 5000 voters out Of IL 900
who reside there. 1t is probable Congress
will be asked to organize at its next session
the six counties above named into Territory.

CIrY TRACT SocIETY.-The regular quar-
terly meeting of this Society was held on Mon
day evening, Nov. l4th, at the Market street
Methodist Church.
The reports presented by the members of
the Executive Committee showed that the
work of tract distribution is still being carried
forward in our city. Though necessarily la
boring under much discouragement from the
unsettled state of the community, and from
want of that full sympathy and cooperation
of the Christian public due to work such as
that in which they are engaged, the Society,
so far as represented at the meeting, stood
to their first full faith in the Importance OF the
labor to which they have devoted themselves,
and expressed their determination to carry it
forward in future with increased zeal and eff
cheney.
After somewhat prolonged discussion in
regard to the relations and interests of the
Society, the meeting was closed with prayer
and the benediction by the President.

Result Of Homestead Laws i'm the Yves

Result Of Homestead Laws i'm the West.
In Michigan, the result Of the liberal enact
ment of its Legislature in regard to the wild
lands belonging to the State, is seen in the
progress made in settling up the back dis
tricts. Many persons are availing themselves
of the opportunity now offered for procuring
homes at very little cost. Those lands,
heretofore considered worthless, are now be-
ing taken up in small quantities by actual set
tiers, and the result will be that new counties
will soon be settled by hardy, thoroughgo-
ing people, who have hewn out homes for
themselves in the wilderness. O, that Min
nesota had homestead law!

THE FIRST Snow STORM " RECoaDED."-
This morning the feathering fakes made their
first appearance, and finding the ground dry,
soon whitened the ground, and after falling
lightly for three or four hours, left enough Of
the element in view to convince one that the
first snow of the season had actually come.
The weather is warm, however, and doubt
less ere another twenty-four hours, will prob
ably disappear. The wind has been blowing
steadily from the South for two days, and
probably there have been heavy storms be-
low, of which we had the thin edge.
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1859-11-19

* One lesson the south should learn
from the lamentable affair at Harper's Ferry,
is that the permanence of the Union is essen
tial to its own safety. The soldiers of the
general government captured Brown and his
men, and to the general government the south
ern States will always look for protection
whenever the flames ofinsurrection are lighted.
1t is for the highest interest and safety Of the
south to be true to the constitution and the
Union, and if it had the vigor and manliness
of the early days of the republic, it would
throw offsthe political adventures who trade
in its weakness and its fears, and who would
impose upon it the monstrous falsehood that
the free states seek its destruction. If there
is any party hostile to the South it is that
which aggrayates the evils Of southern society
in order that it may be accepted in its patron
and protector. And that party is the par
ty that wears the name of democracy while it
rejects its rinciple.-Sprinatisd Republican.

~ Among the Incidents connected with
the IIarper's Ferry emeute, it is mentioned
10y the Nationai LatsUigrmcer, that deputa-
ton from the free colored population OF
Georgetown waited upon the Mayor OF that
town, and respectfully profered him their
united and cordial cooperation in any service
in which he might see fit to employ them in
the preservation of the public order and peace.

TROUBLESOME VIsIToRs.-We understand
that some Lodges of Sioux's are located near
Lake Johanna, North of St. Paul, and are CON-
mitting depredations on the hog pens, poultry
yards, and root houses of the farmers in that
vicinity. These ''pillagers" have been notifi-
ed to decamp by the Sheriff, and if they do
not leave instanter, it is probable that the Pi-
oneer Guards may have chance to assist in
enforcing the law against them.

SHAKoPEE, Mimi, Nov. Z, 1859.

SHAKoPEE, Minn., Nov. 7, 1859.
DEAR SIR: have noticed in the Ninneso-
tian something about the two days voting at
Burnsville, Dakota county.
At the election in New Market, Scott coun-
ty, which township, l think adjoins Burnsville
in Dakota, some forty votes more were poled
than was ever polled there before. was in
formed soon after the election, by good Dem
ocratic authority, that large number of resi-
dents of Dakota county, came to New Market
and voted for our county officers, as well as
for the State ticket. They intended, my in
formant said, to return the same day, and
vote again in their own town in Dakota cOun-
ty, but became too drunk to travel, and ac-
cordingly did not 60 home until Wednesday,
the 18th. The Scott County Democrat of
the 18th, gives the vote of New Market as 70
for Becker and for Ramsey. The same de-
lectable sheet gives the official result in its is
sue of Oct. 22d, in which New Market shows
to have polled 80 for Becker and for Ram
sey, the 40 from Dakota county having dis
appeared-shipped out-and "no.o you lon't
ito It," Probably it was understood among
the leaders, soon after the election, that
greater demand existed for their votes in Da-
kota than in Scott, and it was perhaps thought
not advisable to try the count there twice,
since unfortunately the patriotic citizens failed
to vote more than once.
This information you have probably alrea-
dy obtained from other sources but since
this was not certain, have thought it advis-
able to to call your attention to it. do not
doubt that regular moccasin skulduggery, was
enacted all along the border. You will OBJ
serve that the official returns gives Becker
9l7 and Ramsey 553, majority for Becker,
1854, only l6 more than Sibley had in ls47,

Distressing Calamity.

A sad calamity occurred in Carver county,
four miles S. W. of Watertown, on the night
of Friday last. The house of Mr.. Amos AL
len was burned, and his three children, aged
from three to six years were consumed in the
flames.
Mr.. Allen had built fire, and leaving his
children in bed asleep, and locking the house
he went with his wife to visit a neighbor dis
tant about ten rods. In five minutes after
reaching their destination their own house
was seen to be in flames. Every effort to
save the children was unavailing.-St. An-
