The Richmond Enquirer and
Gov. WSie.

The Pichmond Enquirer is urging the
nomination of Gov. Wise for the next
Presidency. He may be the Charles
ton nominee if he is, il will be in spite
of the " Enquirer )" for more iniudi-
cious course was rever pursued by any
paper in support ofits favorite than that
taken by the Enquirer. If we under
stand anything of the present State of
political affairs, neither Governor Wise
nor any other man can be either nomin-
ated or elected without the aid of nor
thern votes. Yet the columns of that
paper TEEN with slanders of the north
continually. Its editorials and commu-
nications are, to the last degree, un-
seemly and vindictive. 1t does not
discriminate, but levels its anathamas
against the whole north. If we were in
favor cf the election of Gov. Wise. as
our next President, we should certainly
advise the gallant Governor, to dispense
with its farther service. If it is in the
power of any journal to "kill off" the
Governor. the Richmond Enquirer will
certainly do it, Even the democrats At
the north dc not like to be called exact.
ly "mud sills," or :" white livered."
Yet these are the terms indiscrim;n-
ately applied to the people of the north
by the chivalrous gentlemen who pre-
side over the destinies ofthat soi-disant
conservative sheet.
South Sides attention is especially
called to this matter.

Notings by the Way.
SAINT ANTHONY.


From Anoka to Coon Creek, the ap-
pearance of the country Is attractive,
and the soil fertile, dotted with neat
farm houses, and divided on either hand
into well cultivated fields. From Coon
Greek to Manomin it is barren waste
leland, without a single redeeming
quality. 1t reminds one of the sand
banks on the Lake shore about Michi-
gan City, and one feels, in so suddenly
coming upon il, that some mistake was
made in its location on-othe face of SO
fine country as Minnesota, rather that
it belongs to the pine plains of North
Carolina, or the sweet-ferm high lands
of New Hampshire. rof

SAUK YER VALLEY-GOLD
MINES.
SAUK RIVER, February 20, lSC

SAUK RIVER, February 20, 1860.
DEAR ERA,-Belore becoming ac-
quainted with you, | had pretty nearly
made up mind that Minnesota was
dull, cold world to live ir, and had
serious thoughts Of trying, with others,
my fortune at Pixies Peak. But having
read your cheerful descriptions Of Min
nesota life, and your hopeful predic-
tons Of Minnesota future, my mind is
changed, and ! am persuade that Min
nesota is as good world to live in as
any other.
But there are many, nevertheless, Of
the old settlers on Sauk River, who en-
tertain high notions ofPlke's Peak, and
are talking strongly of going there. In
deed some have sold their farms already
and are now disposing of their loose
property, at quite sacrifice, with a fix
ed determination of trying what can be
done in the mines. There are many
others who have fine improvements,
good farms, which can be purchased at
very reduced prices. The owners Of
these farms, like Daniel Boone, be-
gin to think that this State is being too
thlckly settled for them, and are anxious
to try the fortunes of new country
But as forme, am yet of the impress
sion that there are just as good gold
mines on Sauk River Valley as can be
found at Pixies Peak. For "A more de-
lightful country, climate more healthy.
or soil more productive, were not to be
fouGd in any part of the world. / am
ifsae1led to believe that those who leave
this valley, for Pixies Peak, will soon
wish that they could once more be
In the peaceful Valley,
Where Osakis' waters f1ow
$500 And gently through the shady woods
The summer breezes blow
Where every new conner pauses and
admlres IT, as being one of the most
lovely places in the State.
Well, friend Era, let those 60 who
choose. AS for me, l remember the old
adage, ga rolling stone gathers no
moss" And yet there is another equal
ly significant and homely, which runs in
this wise ; . a setting hen never gets
fat" Here is a question. Which
shall be taken--the rolling stone" or
the setting hen" l believe on the
whole, prefer the latter, since it re-
