Very Magnanimoua

We give place to the allowing article
in the Pennsylvania Telegraph for two
rcasvns:
FIRST. We wish to give the children Of
'lnnesot; al opportunity. during the
holidays, to laugh ut the credulity xud
prejudice of the author.
SEcoNn We are anxious once for s!l,
that the public should learn that many
Eastern editors who have a character for
truthiuIness upon other subjects, become
morally insane when they refer to Mime
sofa.
The Editor Of the Telegraph (durin;
his lucid intervals) knew that at the time
of writing the article i'll question, there
had been no winter in St. Paul for eight
months; and, if he cnquired, he knew that
mullen stalks and pokeherrics do not grow
at all in Minnesota 1t is to be regretted
that lie cannot comprehend why land in
the ncighborhood Of St. Paul, a larger city
than Harrisburg, and doing tenfoll its
business. should not command about half
the price of land in the vicinity Of Harris
burg, when it is known that the St. Paul
lands will produce twice as much grain or
vegetables per acre, as the soil to which
he is so much devoted.
The citizens Of Minnesota; relying upon
their natural advantages and the energy Of
her sons, must struggle upward to their
high destiny, through unheard Of difficult
ties, and the unmerited and undying hos
Utility OF Eastern editors, and THEY WILL.
TuE WESTERN FEvER.-If there ARE
any IF our young men who arc anxious to
go west and realize fortunes, let them first
send for some of the newspapers Of the
section, and look at the probable chances
Of success. At St. Paul, the grand center,
S56 is charged for the use Of two coaches
and wagon to go nine miles, and the
stage fare to St. Anthony, (eisht miles,>
is 81. The people are constitutionally op-
posed to work, and swap tar for tar barrels,
and tar barrels for tar. Land that raises
four plants and two mullen stalks to the
acre, sells for 500 per acre-the poke
berry and mullen harvest being followed
by winter eight monthe long.

Hg A row. occurred at Huntingburgh,
Dubois county, one day last week, between
some topers and a bar-keeper named Henry
Miller. 1t appears that in a dispute be-
tween Miller and his mother and man
named Richard Walker, the latter called
the lady a ID liar. Miller struck Walker
and beat him pretty badly. The friends OF
Walker then interfered and Miller struck
them with billet of wood. He was arrest
ed and fined S. and costs by Justice Sprad-
ley. While in the Justices office some one
threw brickbat at Miller, stretching him
senseless on the floor, in consideration OF
which the fine was reduced to three dollars.
During the trial lady was summoned as a
witness, and while on the stand was in
suited by man throwing his arm around
her, and was only prevented from taking
other liberties by her husband taking her
out of his reach.

BE2s~ The condition of the bar at the
mouth of the Mississippi is causing serious
alarm to the citizens of New Orleans, en-
failing heavy losses upon the commerce OF
that port. 1t appears that the piling put
down at the Balize by the e. S. contrac-
tors (who were to keep the channel open
for $300,O00) to concentrate the current
through and deepen the channel, has had q
lations upon the bar, and shoaled the water
to fifteen feet at high tide, and to Is feet al
the ebb. This excludes all of the largest
| ships. At the last accounts, there were up
wards of fifty large ships inward and out
| ward bound, whose cargoes were valued Al
over Sl0,000,000, lying on both sides Of
the bar and on it. unable to pass it some Of
them had been enlarged there since the
middle of December with their rich freights

/ The Chamber of Commerce had made an
urgent appeal to the Government for in

has dispatched an order to Col. Long to

FROM THE SoUTH.-The Legislature of
Louisiana has come to a "dead lock- on a
bill to apportion the Representatives and
Senators of the State Legislature to the
several parishes. Neither House will con-
cede point to the other, and serious fears
are expressed that the quarrel will be at
tended with very alarming consequences, if
both parties persist in an obstinate adherence
to their threats. The constitution of the
State provides that before each apportion-
ment a census shall be taken, and that after
such enumeration of the inhabitants, the
Legislature shall not pass any law, of any
kind, until an apportionment of the rep
resentation in both Houses shall have been
made upon the basis of the whole popula-
| ton. The disagreement of the two Houses,
under this constitutional provision, stops all
| legislation. The sessions are limited to six
| ty days. and this session expires on the 18th
of March, on which date the existence of
the present Legislature ceases. If no APP
portionment be made, no succeeding Legis-
| lature can be elected; and the Legislative
power of the State will be abrogated, and
the wheels of the government be stopped
for the lack of laws authorizing the appro-
priation of single dollar to keep them in
motion. Before they permit such a calami-
ty to befal the State, some terms of COM
promise will be arranged between the two
! Houses.

nsa- A Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune thus describes Senator
Benjamin
Mr.. Benjamin is small in stature dresses
carefully and neatly has a soft, cat-like
step a fawning, sinister smile, keen snaky
eye; look and address now bold and
audacious, and then cringing and depreca-
tory +; his whole air and mien suggesting a
subdued combination of Judas Iseariot with
Uriah Heep. Mr.. Benjamin is a Jew, born in
the Island Jamaica, and when he first came
to New Orleans, entered the Office of No
tary Public as clerk and copyist. Heis one
who has been "the architect of his own
fortunes"

B6- A Washington correspondent says
that so perfectly cold fogy" was the list of
managers of the Napier ball, that there was
but one on the list that could be found to
dance with the distinguished lady in whose
honor the ball was given. Mr.. Burlingame,
of Massachusetts, one of the committee eff
reception, led out Lady Napier, who went
through plain quadrille, and said it was
the first time she had danced in fifteenyears.
His Lordship, who has the reputation of be-
ing quite a ladies' man, is rather devoted to
the dance, and participates freely.

nsA, A correspondent reminds US that we
were at fault in our statistics about the
canal We followed too closely the report
ed statements of Mr.. Rice, without recur-
ring to our own memory that the canal ira
verses twenty-five counties, instead OF four
teen. We discovered the error, but as it was
fact used to enforce IN argument, which
was overwhelming as it was stated, we did
not take the trouble to change it. Our
correspondent says the canal runs through
twenty-five counties, containg one-fourth
of the population and taxable property of
the State. If it be So the taxables in those
counties must amount to about $4,000, 900.
The estimated reduction ON that property by
the assessors, in case the canal should be
closed, is 30 per cent.
This would annihilate SIS, 900, 900 of val
nc in the property of those counties. A tax
of one per cent-which is about the amount
paid for State and county purposes-on
$15,oO0,OOO would bs $15O,0oO-the
amount which would be lost to the revenue
of the counties and State by the destruction
of the canal. The sum thus sacrificed
would oe double the amount annually re-
quired to keep the canal in order, if il
should be managed no better in future thar
in times past. 1t is evident from thil
statement, that, if it were necessary the
counties intersected by the canal, had better
tax themselves to the amount of 500, OOC
per annum, toss keep the canal up, than t.
let it go to ruin. But for this there car
never be any necessity; for under good man
agement under the most unfortunate circum.
stances it can be made self-supporting

Gov. Willard may veto it on the ground
that it is unconstitutional, because it autho-

amount of the license, by which the rate
paid for the privilege of selling liquor will

constitution-the Sentinel says-requires all
laws to be uniform in their operation
