THE MINNESOTA ROUTE TO TIE
.I. EAST.

THE MINNESOTA ROUTE TO The
s. EAST.
We have before expatiated upon the su-
|perior advantages Of the Minnesota & Mil
waukee Railroad, to tho inhabitants Of tho
Upper Mississippi. The accounts Of the
launching Of the splendid steamers "Mil-
waukee" and Detroit" recently construct
ed in Buffalo, to make the connections be-
tween Milwaukee and Grand Haven, brings
the subject again to our mind. All are &C.
quainted with the magni6cenos, and beauty,
and speed. Of the steamers heretofore rum
ming upon the lakes-beside which, in every
respect, the ocean steamers are far behind.
The steamers Plymouth Rock and Western
World, in particular, will be recollected as
apparently reaching the highest point Of per-
lection in steam navigation. But the Mil
waukee & Minnesota, and the Michigan
Central Railroad Companies, it seems, de.
termired that even these world-renowned
steamers were too slow for this fast age,
and accordingly, have caused these steamers
(the Milwaukee and Detroit) to be con-
structed on scale Of beauty, strength and
speed, far beyond which has heretofore been
attained or even supposed to be attainable.
We have not space to give the details, but
their engines are tho most powerful ever
constructed for steamers.
Their frameworks are secured and girded in
UGH manner a. to give them one-third
more strength than if constructed in the or
binary way, and no expense has been
spared in ornamenting and fitting up the
cabins and state rooms, which are gems Of
art and luxury the upholstery, the mir
rors, and pictures. and paintings, being the
richest ever known. The plate, and table
service generally. is on the same scale.
Their regular time between Milwaukee
and Grand Haven will be SIX hours but if
necessary, their speed can be increased to
thirty miles per hour-much swiRsr than
ordinary railroad time-what will still fur
Their shorten its time between Minnesota
and the East, which is already eight hours
ahead Of any other route-and viii add
much to its growing popularity.
1t is certainly great relief to get rid oil

DR.. ]. II. ROBINSON AND THE NEW

J ENGAGEMENT.

The immense improvement that has OK
hibitcd itself during the past few years, in

tus from the engagement, by the propristors

brated Buck Bison" which first appeared
in tho Mercury, and was received with the
greatest, favor in al parts Of the country
where real sterling literary power and in
terest are appreciated. Subsequently, two
others, entitled mick Whites and Zone
Eyed SAUL" appeared in another journal.
and added still more lustre to tho authors
iaurels. Arrangements have now been
made By tho prop:ietors Of the MERCURY to
secure this talented and brilliant pen for
their columns only, and Dr.. Robinson's
works will appear, in future, illustrated by
the magic pencil Of Americas first artist
Felix o. c. barley. E....
The first fruit Of this new enterprise has
Just come forth, in the form Of fascinating
romance Of the Northern Trapping grounds
bearing the attractive title Of Pathway; or
the Mountain Outlaws" in which the fav.
orite character of "Nick Whites" is con-
t,nued, surrounded by the "difRkilties," and
drolleries that have made him famous for
ever. AS tho truthful delineation Of the
wild life Of the hunting ground is DR.. Rob-
inson's own chosen department Of literature
and one in which he has held the palm for.
many years, we may look forward with
much pleasure to the perusal Of Pathway"
which has been written con amore, and is
designed by its author to be his most fin
ished and interesting work. Indeed it viii,
without doubt, prove equal to anything Of
the same nature that has ever been pub
lished in this country, not excepting the
romances Of the immortal Cooper.
The brilliancy Of thought, clsarness Of ex-
preston, imaginative tone, and beauty OF in
cident. that arc the distinguishing features
Of DR.. Robinson's writings, render him the
favorite ofall classes Of readers; and although
the prUprietors Of tho MERCURY have en-
gagged him for term Of years, at = higher
price than has ever before been paid by .
newspaper to any American romancer, there
is little question but what they will have
every reason to be eminently satisfied with
the arrangement. A story by Dr.. Robin
son, with illustrations by 2 .rley, cannot fail
to crafty the most fastidious taste, and
create = PROFOUND sensation Of interest
throughout tho whole reading world and
the success Of Pathway; OF, the Mountain
Outlaws" must be already regarded As o.
fixed fact.
