ANOTHER SIDE OF THE BAKER AND TIR-
RELL AFFA1R.-No one could be more indis-
posed than we are to take sides in any pri-
vate domestic difficulties we shall not
do so now-but being invited yesterday by
Mrs. Baker on board the VIM. L. Ewing,
on which she had taken passage for Lake
City, she made to us statement of her af-
fairs, and obtained promise that it should
appear in print, to disabuse the public mind
of what she AYERS to be false impressions in
regard to the relations between herself and
Mr.. Baker, and Mr.. Tirrell.
In the first place, she positively affirms
that neither Mr.. Tirrell, or any other mem.
Der Of his family, had persuaded her to leave
Mr.. Baker, but that it was of her own free
will, and had been long contemplated, in
consequence of ill-treatment she had received
from Mr.. Baker, commencing as far back as
three weeks after marriage, and. continuing

Correspondence of Pioneer and Democrat
NEW ULM, May 10, 1860.
Last Saturday, the 18th inst, about ~
P. NJ, fire broke out in the building of the
steam Eagle Mills, and destroyed tie same
with all its contents in few hours. These
mills were erected in 1861. by com.
pany connected with the old New Ulm
Land Association, and known as the " Chi
cago Landverein,'' and afterwards incor-
porated as a special company under our
state laws. Said company sold out last
January to Mr.. FRED. BEINHoRN, of New
Ulm, who associated with himself, Hon. F.
REHFELD. At the time of the accident the
mill was in excellent condition it contained
saw mill, lath and single mills, and turn.
ing machine. The saw mill cut about 5000
feet per day. The loss of the single ma
chine is the more severely felt, as it was the
only machine of the kind in our settlement,
and great many houses want only roofing
for completion. The original costs of the
mills was $l9,OOO--no insurance.
The fire is said to have originated by
accident--a defect somewhere near the
hearth, and the Waterman not being at his
post to extinguish it, and the wind running
very high that evening. Mr.. REHFELD
thinks Of rebuilding. A great many fami-
lies are thrown by this accident out of EN-.
ploy.
Nothing new, other than the above.
Farming prospects excellent. Last week it
was cold and raining, and yesterday the river
| rose six inches. F,

FIRST PAPER MILL IN MINNESOTA
Golden Era brought up on Monday evening
the machines for the first paper mil in
Minnesota. 1t is to be established al the
Falls of st. Anthony, the great water p'wer
there rendering it a most eligible location.
There is, probably, over fifty tons of :om-
mon printing paper used in the city O st.
Paul every year, for which the hardcash
has to be paid, and we note with gratfca-
ton every instance of progress in maniac
turing for ourselves, that will serve re.
tain within our own borders the large
amount of money now going out to the ben
eft of other States.

The NORTHWESTERN TRADE.-From let
tiers received yesterday by our merchants,
we are led to believe that the trade this
year with the Northwestern country will be
greater than ever before known. The traders
on the Red River, the Saskatchewan, and
the Assiniboin, have made enquiries to as
certain if the articles they need can be pur-
chased in St. Paul, and if answered in the
affirmative, have announced their intention
of coming here to trade.
We learn also that the first train of carts
will probably arrive here about the 25th of
June, to be followed by others during the
season. That st. Paul can control the
largest part Of the trade Of that vast region
to the north of US, is not matter of doubt
if she is only prepared for it.

Pixies PEAK.-There is large emigra-
ton from the western part of the State to
Pixies Peak. The Mankato Independent
says that teams daily pass through the
streets of that place, bound for Pixies Peak.
Some fifty persons have already gone from
Blue Earth county, and others are seriously
contemplating the trip. From the upper
part of the County of Nicollet, some forty
or fifty persons are making preparations to
start.

and growing more insufferable, until the
present time. That there may be no mis-
take in the public mind as to whether she
had sufficient reason for leaving him, she
says that three weeks after marriage he
called her an illegitimate child, (usingla
harsher term than we have,) and said he on.
ly married her to spite another gentleman,
who had paid her some attentions. She
further stated that she was afraid of her
life--that Baker slept with a bowie knife
and revolver under his pillow, and loaded
gun at the head Of his bed, and frequently
awoke her in the night, and commenced to
abuse her in the foulest language, and much
more of the same sort, she related, which,
if true, would be ample justification for the
step she has taken.
In relation to the money which Baker al
leges to have been stolen, she knows nothing
about it affirming that Baker always said
that he was very poor, (since his failure) and
did not know how he should be able to sup
port his family. In short she wishes to as.
sure the public that all the reports. of Ba-
ker's illtreatment, at her hands, or by any of
her family, are entirely false in every par
ticular, and could only he conceived by a
monomanlac, or by one determined at any
hazard to do herself and parents, the greatest
wrong and injustice.
The whole affair having become so public
and the reports so contradictory, we could
not refuse the request of Mrs Baker, to
publish, what she solemnly AYERS to be true
statement of the case. We hope now, the
whole matter will be left for time and legal
investigation to settle.

Coop PRosPECTs.-We are informed by
gentlemen who have travelled over large
portions of the State, that all sorts of crops
are in a better condition than ever before
known at this season of the year, and that
nearly double the amount of ground is under
cultivation, over that of last year, and that
the farmers are in the best of spirits, in
prospect of an abundant harvest.
The elements seem to have combined their
qualities to render the labor of farmers pro-
ductive in the greatest degree. The heat
has been sufficient to thoroughly quicken
vegetation, and no long spells of rainy
weather have interviewed, that would cause
the seed to rot in the ground, but most OPP
perfume and refreshing showers have kept
the earth in the best condition. The ra.
pidity of termination under such circum-
stances, in this country is astonishing. A
gentleman, who has thirty acres of spring
wheat growing, near the city, informs us
that that the blades were above the ground
in four days after the seed was sown.
Compared with other sections of the coun-
try, Minnesota stands to-day in most en-
couraging position, in regard to agricultural
prospects.
In the New England States, the drouth
has been so severe that accounts are given
in the papers Of farmers being obliged to
drive their cattle many miles for water
The extreme southern papers TEEN with &C
counts Of injuries to the cotton crop by frost.
Information from private sources indicate
that the winter wheat crop in Illinois will
be almost a total failure. Our exchanges
from Ohio and Indiana speak dolefully of the
prospect of large crop, and the Iowa and
Missouri papers speak of the damages in
those States by frost.
This year will be the turning point with
us, if it has not already passed, and all may
look forward to the dawning of long day
of prosperity, compared with which the ig-
mes fatui of the past will be forgotten, or
only remembered as admonitions.
