The following letter from the Acting
Commissioner of the General Land Office at
Washington, to the Register and Receiver
of the Forest City Land Office, contains in
formation of much Importance to settlers on
the public lands:
GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IL, 1859.
Register and Receirer-Forest City, Mime
sofa /:
GENTLEMEN-This Office is in receipt of let
ter from James P. Hewlett, Esq, of minneapolis
alleging that there is some misunderstanding in
regard to the order Withholding q portion of
lands from sale in said State, he wishes to be
informed whether pre-emptors are obliged to
prove up their claims, and their inability to pay
for the land they claim. or, if the book of De-
claratory Statements on file with the Registers
of the local Offices, is to be taken as evidence
of the occupation of the different tracts claimed
1t is deemed proper that these inquiries,
should be answered 10 the form of instructions
upon its face that its object is relieve the hon.
est bona fde redemption settler by giving him
further time to pay for his land, the record of a
legal and proper declaratOry statement upon
the Registers books will be deemed and held
as evidence of bona fide settlement unless the
contrary appears, provided such Declaratory
Statement was filed within the time prescribed
by said notice, where the pre- emption claim.
ants have not proved up and paid for their
lands prior to 8th October, 1859, their inability
will be taken for granted, and they are the per
sons whom the order was intendid to relieve.
You will not therefore require proof of actual
bona fide settlement, and of inability to make
proof and payment, for this would be imposing
conditions upon presumption claimants, involV-
ing trouble and expense, inconsistent with the
true spirit and intent of measure for their
benefit.
Resp y. your obedieut servant,
JOSEPH S. WILSON.
Acting Commissioner.

A SHORT time since, in East Sangus
Massachusetts,, woman discovered her
hus and in bed With his and her daughter.
a girl about eighteen years old, and was so
shocked at the sight that dangerous illness
followed, of which the incestuous father and
daugh liter took advantage by fleeing from
the town before they were exposed. AS
soon as the horrible crime became known to
the neighbors, means were taken to search
out the guilty parties, and have them
brought to justice. They were traced to
Lawrence. where the girl had been living for
fortnight or more under an assumed
name. Both were arrested and taken to
Lynn, where the father wss arraigned and
committed, in default of $4,000 bail. The
girl, who is quite pretty, is said to be with
child. She ives as q reason for not ex.
posing her fathers conduct, that be threat
ened to kill her if she did not submit to his
will and keep silent.

A FEW days since, says the New York
Erening Post, the president of one Of our
largest banks called to his presence a
clerk filing responsible post in the bank,
and inquired of him where he had spent the
previous evening. The clerk, in great con-
fusion, acknowledged that he had frequented
a place not altogether reputable, whereupon
the president notified him that his services
were not required another hour. The ex-
animation into the private conduct of this
young man was induced by the discovery of
deficiency of 5000 in his accounts, which
was not satisfactorily explained.

Our Own State.

Our exchanges from all parts of the State
contain descriptions Of vegetable monstrosi-
ties presented to the editors, and also of the
large average yield in all the products of
the soil. We have not heard of any
material injury to the crops in any section
Of tie State, from: frosts or any other
cause, and the only complaint is Of the
difficulty Of finding transportation to a
remunerative market of the abundance which
our farmers will have to spare after laying
in an ample supply for their own consump-
ton. When the point is reached, below
which the cereals cannot be produced to
afford profit, the tendency has always been
towards the raising Of stock, which in
most localities has afforded larger profits
with less labor, than any other department
OF farming. The high prices Of other
productions has heretofore prevented that
attention to this business which it deserves.
Minnesota has advantages over other States
for the business of stock raising, in the
abundance OF its hay marshes all over the
State and for the raising OF sheep, par
ticularly, our climate is not excelled by any
other State in the Union. ...
A large Touring mill has been recently
built at Chatfeld, on the main branch
of Root River. The building is three
stories high, and the second and third stories
are to be used for any kind of mechanical
business requiring water power, Of which
there is sufficient, and to spare, after run
ming the machinery Of the Touring mill.
The editor of the Henderson Democrat
has been presented with two beets, one
weighing FIVE pounds, the other seven and a
half, and cabbage weighing twenty seven
and half pounds. The market prices in
Henderson are Wheat, soc. oats, 15c. ;
corn, Csc; butter 121ac eggs, l0c. per
dozen chickens, 20 to 80 cents per pair.
The Minnesota Mirror, published at
Austin, Mower county, says that the small
grains in that section of the State have
yielded an immense crop, and is informed by
farmers that they never knew heavier
crop OF wheat. 1t says, further
As whole, no man capable of apprecia.
ting the generosity of the "Giver Of every
good and perfect gift can complain of our
harvest. It has put stopper upon the mouths
of all who have discouraged the emigrant
from settling within our borders. It has filled
with new zeal the hearts of those who were be-.
fore we'll satisfied of the feasibility of farming
in Minnesota, and were so steadfast in their
faith as to stake another years trial upon the
result. In conclusion, we say to all, be of
good cheer for the hereafter forget not to
give the praise which is due for this years
abundant harvest to Him who watches over us
with Providential care, and sees that our wants
are beautifully supplied.
The Red Wing Republican says:
Large amounts of produce are daily being
shipped from this point to the Milwaukee,
Chicago and st. Louis markets. As the season
advances, the quantity of grain brought to
town largely increases, and until the close of
navigation we may expect busy time among
grain buyers. The following are the present

A Good Movement,

The Detroit Free Press justly remarks
that evils have sometimes arisen in the Dem
ocratic Party which required for their cure
strong remedies, but an evil has never arisen
so great that it could not be better correct
ed by members of the party acting within
its organization than by going out of it.
Most of the evils which have arisen in the
party have come of men having neglect
ed to attend its primary meetings, who
might, if they would, at all times give
right direction to all its affairs. From
this neglect, the organization has some.
times, in the large towns and cities es-
pecially, fallen into the hauds of men unfit
to control it, and who only desire to control
it for selfish and often corrupt purposes.
That the party should suffer from such a
condition of affairs is natural and inevitable,
but it is neither natural nor proper that be.
cause it has fallen into such condition,
from the cause we have mentioned, the men
who might have saved it originally should
seek to right the wrong by the employment
of instrumentaities hostile not only to the
organization but the principles of the Demo-
cratic Party.
These reflections are suggested by the
proceedings Of meeting recently held in
New York city, of prominent citizens be-
longing to the Democratic Party, who have
engaged in the work of attempting to
accomplish within the Democratic Party
the reforms demanded by higher standard
of political morals and pu.er system of
selecting our political agents." Among the
resolutions adopted by them were the follow
ing:
Resoiued, That, believing as we do, that the
dominance of the principles of true and honest
Democratic party in the city, State, and Nation.
is essential to the peace and prosperity of the
country, we have witnessed with regret the
neglect of many well-known Democrats to
take any part in the control of the party or.
ganiZatiOn or IN the Offices of great trust and
Importance in the municipal and State gov
ernments that the time has come when their
duty can be no longer neglected; therefore,
pointed by the members of the Committee,
who called this meeting, to confer with our
fellow Democrats for the purpose of securing
the selection of candidates for Office who shall
be entitled, by their reputation and standing
in the community as capable and honest men
and Democrats, to receive, the cordial support of
the whole party, and of all those who believe in
the necessity of careful and wise administra.
ton Of our city finances.
This movement cannot fail to result in
great good. There is no town or city where
the concerns of the party might not be con-
trolled in every proper sense by the best
men of the party, if such men would but exer-
cire their rightful influence at the primary
meetings and nominating conventions.
Whenever and wherever the party organi-
cation has passed into the hands of bad
men, the good men of the party have really
been responsible for it. The sin on their
part is omission. The good men of the
party in New York are acting in the right
way, and we trust their example will be uni
versally initiated.

The scrap OF history attributed to DAM
TEL S. DICKINSON, that CLAY's quarrel with
President TAYLOR, arose from the rejection
by the latter Of an application for a West
Point cadetship by CLAY's son, is pronounc.
ed by THOMAS EWING, who was a member
of TAYLoR's Cabinet, a scrap of fiction. He
says The breach which afterwards took
place arose from other causes, in which
Gen. TAYLOR was no further the aggressor
than in adopting and maintaining opinions
of his own on the compromise measures Of
1S49-5O."

TERMS, $500 At the years. end:

Comfortable houses and wellbuilt granaries
testified to the prosperity of the inhabitants;
while their fine physical development betokened
high degree of health, comfort and good liv-
ing. Yet here the farmer would be subjected
to serious contingencies. Every portion of the
bottom lands is liable to be overrun and cut
through by the river. For four or five months
OF the year the rays of the sun are so intense
and burning that no vegetation can Withstand
their influence. The growing season is exceed
ingly short, and destructive frosts are common.
Taking the whole region together, there is no
attraction for emigration thither The Indians
now there are dwindling away. Very large
tracts Of land in the valleys are rendered unfit
for tillage by an excess of alkaline properties.
Extensive deserts are found, and even in the
timbered regions are broad tracts where vegeta-
ton has become extinct. The destruction has
been gradual, and the impression is conveyed of
some deadly rot slowly creeping over the sur
face of the country, which has for ages been be-
coming more and more unfit for habitation.--
Along the 35th parallel there are some bright
spots yet these are subject to seasons of drouth
so excessive as to render habitation doubtful
The mineral resources in some places are consid-
erable, promising gold, mercury, silver, copper,
lead, and iron. Coal, rock-salt and marble are
also found.

DR.. Franklin's ONLY Son.

As the name of Franklin is ever so prominent.
ly before the public, it may not be uninteresr-
ing to give some account of his only son, Will
liam, about whom, we think, little is known by
the community at large. Unlike his father,
whose chief claim is Tor the invaluable services
he rendered his country in her greatest need, the
son was, from the first to the last, u devoted
loyalist. Before the revolutionary war, he held
several civil and military offices of importance
At the commencement of the war; he held the
Office of Governor of New Jersey, which ap-
pointment he received in 1913. When the diff
culties between the mother country and the col
onists were coming to crisis he threw his whole
influence in favor of loyalty, and endcavored to
prevent the Legislative assembly of New Jersey
from sanctioning the proceedings of the Gene
raj Congress of Philadelphia, These efforts,
however, did but little to stay the tide OF popu-
and soon involved him in difficulty. lie was
deposed from Office by the wings, to give place
to VIM Livingston, and sent prisoner to Con-
nccticut, where he remained two years, in East
Windsor, io the house Of Capt. Ebenczer Grant,
near where the Theological Seminary now
stands In l77S, he was exchanged, and soon
after went to England. There he spent the re,
mainder of his life, receiving pension from
the British Government for the loss he sustained
by his fidelity. lie died in 1914, at the age of
80.
As might have been expected his opposition
to the cause Of liberty, so dear to the heart oil
his father, produced an estrangcment between
them. For years they had no intercourse.
When, in 1854, the son wrote to his father, DR..
Franklin said in reply " Nothing has ever
hurt me 80 much, and affected me with such
keen sensations, as to find myself deserted in
old age, by my only son and not only deserted
but to find him taking up arms against me in a
cause wherein my good fame, fortune, and life
were all at stake.
In his will, also. he alluded to the part his
son had acted After making some bequests
he says d" The part he acted against me in the
late war, which is of public notoriety, will ac-
count for my leaving him no more of an estate
he endeavored to deprive me of.
The patriotism of the father stands forth al
the brighter when contrasted with the desertior
Of his son.
