Glorious cid New Hampshire.
The old Granite State, so long the Gibral-
ter of Democracy, is now one of the most reli-
able of the Republican States.
On Tuesday last an election was held for
State officers and members of Congress. The
entire returns have not yet reached US, but
sufficient, which we give below, to show the
general result.
CONCORD, N. H., March, 8.
Our election took place to-day for State
officers, members Of Congress and 4 mem
bsrs of the Legislature. The vote so far is
larger than last year. The Republican candi-
date for Governor is Ichabod Goodwin, and the
Democratic candidate Asa p Cate 81 towns

elected to the House, and out Of the IL Sena-
tors, 8 are Republicans. The 8 Republican
candidates for Congress, are elected. The

At Oskaloosa, Mahaska county, Iowa, a
Convention was held on the 9th of January,

connecting link Of the great Railroad thor

It is hoped by the friends of the measure,
that it will "be the means of bringing mum.

Tho River.--Prospects for the Opening
OF Navigation.

Tho River---Prospects for the Opening
OF Navigation.
A dispatch dated Galena, March 9th, says:
The steamer W. L. Ewing, Capt Green, is
the first boat that has reached here from st.
river will be clear and ready for navigation to
st. Paul in week or two at farthest
The Winona Democrat of Saturday last says
they chad melting rain on Thursday, which
finished the ice in the river. Last year the
river was clear of ice at this point on the 18th
of March,"
The rain in that neighborhood, lift extended
much farther up, must have had tendency
to rot the ice in the Lake. Indeed, accounts
agree that the ice was already much damaged,
and good storm of wind and warm rain
would break it up.
The Democrat further says:
TIE RIVER OPEN.-On Thursday morning,
March 10th, the ice commenced to break up
at this place. and at the present writing-Fri-
day evening-the river is sufficiently clear of
ice to render navigation entirely SAFE The
Minnesota Belle left st. Louis for the foot Of
Lake Pepin on Sunday, the 9Th, the Canada
on Monday, and these boats may be expected
here Sunday or Monday. Theriv was clear
of ice last year on the 10Th of March, and the
first boat of the season, the Brazil, arrived at
Winona on the 22d of March. We believe
the river has opened earlier this year than
any previous year since the settlement of Wi
mona.
1t was rumored here yesterday that since
then-Friday night-a boat had arrived at
Winona, reporting the river clear below there.

From the Democrat.
GRAN.-We have heard it estimated that
there are over thirty thousand bushels of
grain now in store at Winona, awaiting the
arrival of the boats to carry It to the st. Louis
market
az Quite number of buildings are in
process of erection in Winona at the present
time
W A number of our merchants started
for the Eastern cities this week, for the pur
pose of buying their spring and summer stock
of goods. The prospects for good business
season are very tlattering.
W Business is reviying, land business
men again look cheerful. A large trade and
plenty of money is confidently expected the
coming season.
~ The demand for oats, corn and wheat
continues active in our market, with quick
sales oil all that is offered. Prices are high.
and cash is paid on delivery.

A Man Murdered At Brownsville.

"A uou "uf0cfe0 NJ Hr0WuOV1uI0s
The Hokah Chief says that an old pauper
who had lounged about the place for some
time, entered the grocery store Of Henry
Ripple, German, at Brownsville, and ordered
put up quantity of goods, which he prom
Used to call and take away on the following
day, though report says he never intended to
remove or pay for them. After three or four
days he returned to Rippie's establishment
while in fit Of intoxication, and, = quarrel
having been kicked up about the goods, Hen
ry and John Ripple dragged the old man out
the door. threw him down, pounded his face
into jelly, violently kicked him in the side
and on other parts of the body, SO life was
nearly extinct when they left him. From the
effects of this violent treatment the old man
died at Caledonia on last Friday, another tri-
umph to king whisky. The Rippie's have
been arrested, examined, and in default of
bail have been committed to the "tender
mercies of Jail regulations" as the Chief calls
it, meaning, we suppose, that in day or two
they will escape.

of honors States are governed by the same
principles that govern individuals. The man
that openly proclaims the worthlessness Of his
own paper, digraces himself The State that
does the same thing, dishonors itself in the
same manner; and the citizen who endeavors
to bring about that state of things, to the ex-
tent of his ability dishonors the State of which
he is citizen. ------
A good general will exert himself most to
cheer on his forces, when disasters and mis-
fortunes press heaviest upon him. A good
mariner will never fail to inspire his men with
hope and courage even amidst storm and
shipwreck. A true friend will always cheer
friend in adversely and animate him with
new hopes for the future. But in the hour
Of our country's financial need, what en-
couragement do we get from the writer's of
financial articles . b. Eta s
Were our calamities caused by war, we
should look to our generals for words of en-
couragement, and we should not be disap-
pointed. Were they caused by pestilence,
our physicians would suggest the remedy,
and encourage the people to hope. But as
our troubles are of financial nature, we ma.
turally look to financial men for remedy
and words of cheer. But when we look for
relief they give us a new dose of calamity,
and instead of encouragement we hear the
most dolorous croakings.
Is it not about time for moneyed men to
put off mourning, and introduce into their
financial drapery "a CLEAN of comfort ?" The
prospects Of Minnesota were never better than
to-day. Her people are emerging from their
embarrassments with new energy and cour-
age, in spite of the financial articles they read
in the papers. If al our Bankers would now
join in the effort to inspire public confidence,
our State might at once redeem herself from
dishonor, and have the proud satisfaction OF
seeing her obligations quoted at par upon the
Stock Bonds of the World. No citizen should
rest satisfied until this is accomplished.
The resources of our State, combined with
the intelligence and bold energy of our PEG.
pie, entitle us to this position; and the best
energies of every man should be exerted tc
the accomplishment of this object. Some are
already engaged in this work, while others
still persist in tearing down and destroying
public confidence. On which side your efforts
are employed, I leave for yourself and the
public to judge. With the sincere desire thai
we may yet view this subject alike, and worl
together for the general prosperity of on,

The Revival Of Business

During this and next week, many OF our
St. Paul Merchants are designing to start
East for the purchase Of their spring and
summer stocks, while many have already gone.
We are glad to say that our Merchants here
have better credit with Eastern firms this
day than ever before. Their honest, (and in
most instances very s'tccessfuD endeavors
to restore their standing since the disastrous
panic eighteen months since,-and to retain it
during the trying times that have followed,
have won for our mercantile community q
worthy name. Trials of unusual severity
besst most of them, yet we venture to say
that St. Paul Merchants have paid their debts
IS promptly and willingly As those of any 9TH
er western city and at this time, the pro-
portion Of them who are embarrassed, and with
prostratsd credit at the East, is smaller than
in most western cities. The ''times" have
tried them to the utmost, but they have pas
ssd through the fire without harm.
They 90 now, with brighter prospects than
year ago, for the future Of the mercantile
community of our City looks brighter than at
any time since the prostration of business in
1857. We see in many parts Of the City
preparations for building business houses, and
among already established houses for increas-
ing their facilities for the summer trade. The
trade of st. Paul with the INTERIOR trade
that has grown up but recently as it were-is
becoming daily more and more important. 1t
il snlarging its boundaries, too, and looking to
new fields in the Northwest, which at no very
distant day, populous with enterprising in
habitants, will look to St. Paul as their great
market
From these facts, it will be easy to see that
the hope which many entertain of more pros
porous days ahead, are justified by the hope
full indications of the times, and that success
will reward the enterprise of our merchants.
