"THE OLD PUBLIC FUNcK" is paying off
bis serf pretty we'll. The land sale adver-
tisement, which will carry misery and ruin
into many households in the State, is being
made to serve the purpose of paying the
BRECKENRIDGE editors for their treason to
the Democratic party. 1t is published in
nearly every paper of that stripe in the
State, and each of the deserters will re-
ceive 5000 or $500 from it, on account.
God knows, they earn it.

Five per Centum Of the Public Land
Sales.

By the Act of Congress authorizing
State government, passed February 26,
1857, FIVE per centum of the net proceeds
of sales of all public lands lying within the
State which shall have been sold by Con-
gress, after the admission of said State
into the Union, after deducting all expenses
incident to the same, were ordered to be
paid to the State for the purpose of making
public roads and internal improvements.
For the information of those who sue
ceeded in getting through the last Legisla-
ture, appropriations from the First moneys"
received on this fund " not otherwise appro.
priated," for the construction of roads in
their localities, we publish the following
letter received Saturday evening:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
CONTROLLERS OFFICE,
August Goth, 1860.
His ErceLlency Alec. Ramsey, Gou. Of MIME.
sofa, st. Paul, MINI.
AN account of the five per cent. fund
which has accrued to the State of Minnesota
from the sale of public lands within her limits,
from May IL, 1858, to December 81, 1859, has
been adjusted at the Treasury, and balance
of $3.50 [ninety.one dollars and fitty-cents]
found to be due her from the United States
which sum have directed to be forwarded to
you by draft.
Very respectfully,
[SignedI ". MEDlLL,
Comptroller.
Lest any person should suppose that the
above amount embraced the five per centum
of all lands entered in Minnesota during the
time stated, it should be understood that it
only covers the five per centum of fractional
subdivisions of sections that cannot be en-
tered with warrants. No per centum is
allowed on land entered with warrants.

A YOUNG woman whose name has not

to procure abortion, at Libertyville, Jefer-

performed, but it resulted in her death.
Sheets was arrested and admitted to bail in
the sum OF $1,000. DR.. Smith has left for
parts unknown.

Interest on State Bonds--The $3.50
900 Loan.

The Treasurer of the State, CHARLES
SCHEFFER, Esq, left yesterday for New
York, for the purpose Of paying the inter-
est due last January and July on the $780,
600 loan, together with that due on the
certificates issued by the last legislature, and
forwarded to the holders of the bonds in
lieu of the cash. The money to meet this
back interest is derived from an appropria-
ton made by Congress at its last session

Lincoln's Opinion of jefferson.

Since ABRAHAM LINCOLN has been talked
of for President, we believe be has written
letter to some Yankee Abolitionists, ex-
tolliDg THOMAS JEFFERSON, and claiming
him as the father and founder of the modern
Republican party. 1t seems, however, that
Mr.. LINCOLN entertained very different
opinion of JEFFERSON few years ago. The
Macomb Illinois) Eagle has had the un-
kindness to rake up from old files a speech
made by Mr.. LINCOLN in 1874, in which he
thus spoke of the author of the Declaration
of Independence:
Mr.. Jefferson is statesman whose praises
are never out of the mouths of the Democratic
party. Let US attend to this uncomprising
friend of freedom, whose name is continually
invoked against the Wing party. The charac.
ter of Jefferson was repulsive. Continually pu-
curse of slavery, he brought his own childrenn
to the hammer, and made money of his de-
baucheries. Even at his death he did not man.
nit his numerous offspring, but left them, soul
and body, to degradation and the cart whip.

This single line have quoted gives more in.
sight to the character of the man than whole
volumes of panegyric. 1t will outlive his cpl.
taph, write it who may.
And the man who uttered these senti>
ments sixteen years ago would now have the
people believe that JEFFERSON was as much
of an Abolitionist as he himself is.

to proceed as usual. The firm of w. G. Lane Il

CHARACTER OF SALT LAKE.-An exchange paper
says Every reader has heard of Salt Lake, but
very few persons know anything of its extent and
peculiar nature. A writer speaks thus: That this
lake should be all salt is no anomaly. ALI large
bodies of water into which streams discharge
themselves while they have severally no outlet,
are or should be; salt. If one such is fresh that
is an anomaly indeed. Lake Utah, probably re-
receives as much saline matter as Salt Lake, but
she discharges it through the Jordan and remains
herself fresh, while Salt Lake, having no issue
save evaporation, is probably the saltiest body of
water on earth. The ocean is comparatively fresh !;
even the Mediterranean, at Leghorn is not half SO
salt. / am told that three barrels of this water
yield barrel of salt. That seems rather strong,
but its intense saltness no one who has not had it
in his eyes, his mouth, his nostris, can realize.
You can no more sink in it than in clay bank !;
but very little Of it in your lungs would suffice to
strangle you. You make your way in from hot
beach, oyer chaos of volcanic basalt that is try
ing to the feet, but at the depth of yard more
you have fine bottom, and here the bathing is
delightful. The water is of light green color for
about ten or twenty rods, then deeply, darkly
beautifully bluen No fish can live in it, no frogs
abide in it few birds are ever seen dipping in it.

OBITUARY

Died, on Sunday, Sept. 30th, CREsoEsTA, eldest
daughter of Geo. w. and Matilda Stoddard, aged
years and 10 months.
Little Cressie--for Cressie was her pet name in
the family, and among the neighbors and her little
playmates--was child of the gentleman who has
for years past industriously and ably edited the
news department of the Crescent, and was named
by him in compliment to the paper with which he
is connected. All of us knew little Cressie well
many time, coming to see papa, her sweet, rosy
little face laughing blue eyes and sunny ringlets,
relieved the dullness and plodding labor of the
editorial room, and gladdened it like wandering
ray of spring sunshine. But little Gressie was,
after all, only one of those sweet and tender flow
ers which but begin to bloom when the reaper
DEATH with seemingly poetic taste, plucks them,
tenderly as he can from earth, to transplant in the
gardens of Heaven. Much did the little sweet one
suffer before Death tightened her in his cruel en-
brace; she had, however, before going, o brief
respite from pain and return to consciousness.
The little SOUL knowing that it was going, through
the fading eyes gave its last loving look the feeble
little arm raised to hug softly the bending necks
around her bed: "Good bye, papa-good bye,
mama--good bye, aunty and soon there was a
cold but sweet little wax figure lying on the bed,
surrounded by the bitter grief which only parents
can know or the friends of sweet little pets appre-
ciate. fine little figure was laid in its little white
coffin and was followed to its last rest, in the Cy
press Grove Cemetery, not only by the friends Of
the family, but by nearly every man in the Cres-
cent office and the darkness which time only
can dispel reigns in late happy home. Ed.

CAN, aged As years; native of Camden, s. G.,
and for the last thirteen years resident of this
city.
Mr.. Duncan was long the river and marine re-
porter of the Crescent, and was such up to the
time of his decease, to the day when that nsid-
ious destroyer, consumption, overcame his failing
strength and laid him at last on the couch from
which be was never more to rise. He was quiet
and unobtrusiye gentleman, but one of the most
Industrious, energetic and faithful attaches that
ever honored the press of New Orleans. He
stepped off the stage Of life slowly quietly, know
ingly, uncomplainingly, as all do who feel them
selves in the slow but cold and merciless coil of
consumption. he leaves family and large
circle Of friends to mourn his loss His remains
were entombed last evening with due honor. He
was good man, and passed through life honora-
bly,. Peace to his names. [ED CRESCENT.
