EM1GRANTs CoM1NG.-The Canada which
arrived at this port Friday, had full load
ofpassengers, nearly all of whom were actual
settlers, or parties coming to find places for
settlement. Her deck was covered with
passengers, reminding us Of the rush of old
times.
A citizen who returned, informs US that
eighty Norwegian families arrived in Chi
cago the day he left that city-all bound
for Minnesota.
1t really looks as if, despite the predic-
lions of croakers, we are to receive large
number of emigrants this year. Whether
the homestead bill becomes law or not, in
view of our abundant crops, and the certain
ty of obtaining the remuneration and indie
pendence that is denied to labor, in the
densely populated sections of the country,
the artizans and the farmers are bound to
come aud settle where there is reasonable
prospect of obtaining homes of their own.
1t is thought that we are now about to
receive that influx of settlers, which was an.
ticipated from and caused by the financial
revulsion at the east in 1857. We expected
them the two succeeding years, but until
business had arrived at healthy state there,
it was impossible for them to sell and res
move, without ruinous sacrifices. The re-
vulsion originated the intention, but it could
not be carried out until better times ar
rived.

THE proposed new line of steamers between
the northern terminus of the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad and st. Paul, of which there
has been so many rumors ahoat lately, is
not be put on the river this Sc ason, we
learn, although the boats have been pur>
chased for that purpose. By a recent ar
rangement with the Illinois Central, the
Milwaukee and Mississippi, and the Mil
waukee and Minnesota Railroads, the Ga
lena Packet Company, has agreed to run a
daily line of packets between the points
above named, making connections with the
several railroad as punctually as the nature
of the case will permit. This arrangement
obviates the ity for the new line, and
gives satisfaction, we understand, to all the
interests concerned. The line will consist of
the Milwaukee, the Northern Belle, the
Ocean Wave, and the Golden Era.

CRY MnLs.-The proprietors, Messrs.
Marshall & Gibbons, of the old Winslow
Mill, are now erecting new one to take
the place of the old one. 1t is situated be.
low the former one, directly on the Stillwa>
ter road. Its dimensions are 42x32 upon
the ground and to be three stories in height
above the basement, and will contain three
run OF stones. The whole structure to be oil
stone, and when finished will be one of the
best mills in Minnesota. In this city it will
meet demand long felt, of first class
Touring mill. 1t is to turn out some sew
entyfive barrels of -four per day, and will be
in running order about the first of August
next.
Such improvements indicate that there is
vitality in St. Paul, Notwithstanding all she
has suffered from fire, and the effects of the
revulsion.

We have just seen the venerable parsonage,
"the oldest inhabtant," and he informs us that
during his residence in this State of over TWEEN
ty.five years he has never known so good and
SO favorable q season for putting in grain as
the present, and that there have never been SO
many acres sown to wheat, by one fourth. He
one, Wisconsin will be near enough out of the
woods to warrant her in "hollering. l1il,oau.
kee paper.
Every particular of the above may have
truthful application to Minnesota. Large
areas of spring grain were sown in March,
and in every instance, as far as we can learn,
the seed has sprouted we'll. And we claim
an advantage over other north western
States, that we are beyond the fear of frost
hereafter,

MINNESOTA WHEAT IN ST.. LoUIs.-We
notice in the st. Louis Republican, of the
18th, the arrival of over ten thousand BUSH
els of Minnesota wheat, by the Grey Eagle
and Sucker State. The steamer, DR.. Kane,
owdnd by the millers of st. Lonis, came up
as far as Winona, and returned with full
load. 1t is stated that the best brands of
st. Louis flour are manufactured from Min
nesota wheat. We have reason to believe
that the estimates which have been publish
ed of the amount of wheat now in the State
and awaiting shipment, are altogether too
low. We are informed than there are over
a hunered thousand bushels on hand in the
Minnesota Valley alone.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-04-27

Mr.. Davis thought the resolution should
be addressed to the War Department
Mr.. Wilson thought not. A long debate
followed.
The resolution providing for an adjourn
ment for all the time from Thursday next
till the LIST of May was adopted by 26 to Is,
and that for the adjournment from the 10th
to the Both of April was rejected, 81 against
%. 49,
The homestead bill was taken up, and
Mr.. OWNS amendment to legalize the lands
in California and Oregon occupied by
miners was considered at length.
Without vote the Senate adjourned.
HoUsE.-The deficiency bill was taken
up.
Mr.. Houston demanded the yeas and nays
on its passage.
Mr.. Sherman reminded the gentleman
that if they insist on the yeas and nays on
the passage of the appropriation bills they
may be defeated.
Mr.. Houston replied that his object was
to defeat the bill, and he was willing to take
the responsibility.
Mr.. Sherman, in reply to the question by
Mr.. Curtiss, said there was not a single
item in the bill not recommended by the
administration, and that it was the smallest
deficiency bill which had been reported for
years.
Mr.. Gooch would vote for the bill under
standing it was to pay debts already con>
tracted, but he hoped that hereafter the
administration would contract only such
debts as its friends could vote to pay.
Mr.. Houston replied that there was
scarcely an item in the bill to pay debts
contracted by the administration. Congress
itself had increased the obligations.
The bill passed, 70 against 63.
The house went into committee on the
military academy bill as reported from the
senate, with an amendment authorizing the
calling of regiment of Texan volunteers.
Without action the committee arose.
Mr.. Bonham's resolution for an adjourn.
ment from the 10Th to the Both April was
read. s.-,
Mr.. Washburne, of Maine, and other
Republicans objected. Adjourned.
WASHINGTON, April 10.

The House bill, supplementary to the
act for taking the census, was reported back
from the judiciary committee, and passed.
HoUsE-The House went into committee

MINNESOTA WHEAT.-During the last
session of the Legislature, Legislative
Agricultural and Mechanics Club" was
formed, which held weekly meetings during
the winter.
The first and second of these meetings
were devoted to a discussion of wheat cuI>
ture in genera |, and in endeavoring to as.
certain, by the testimony of gentlemen from
every section of the State, what had been
the average product per acre, the preceding
year, and the Society, after hearing the
statements of large number of gentlemen,
came unanimously to the conclusion that
the average of the State was ta0enty bushels
per acre.
This is so much above the average in the
other wheat growing States, that some may
think the estimate extravagant, but it is
even lower than the evidence would have
warranted.
During the discussion, Mr.. L. M. Ford,
of Ramsey county, well known agricul-
turist, said the average would certainly
come up to % bushels; Mr.. Knox, of Goods
hue county, fifty miles south, thought it

25; Mr.. McDonough, of LIE Sueur, 20;
Judge Dayton, of Fillmore, %; Mr.. Shultis,
of Faribault, 20; Mr.. Quinn, of Ramsey,
25, &c.
We give the estimates of these gentlemen
in the order in which they spoke in the
meeting, as their judgment of the average
yield in the districts which they repre-
sented-leaving out entirely all accounts of
extraordinary yields upon particular pieces
of ground.
From the above it will be perceived, that
in estimating the average yield at twenty
bushels per acre, the Society adopted the
lowest figures--not being willing to set it
higher than the united testimony would
warrant.
We can safely challenge any other State

TRADE AND ADvERTIsING.-One OF the
essentials to success in trade is judcious
advertising. The time has gone by when a
mere sign on building with the owners
name upon it, or a simple card 10 news
paper, would attract to his establishment a
considerable amount of custom. Everybody
now reads newspapers, and depends upon
them as absolute necessities of social life,
and those who are too penurious or too old.
fogyish to advertise in them their business
or profession, are "penny-wise and pound
foolish" and are too far behind the times
to have any reasonable anticipations OF suc>
cess. There is more necessity for advertis-
ing here than in older communities, where
the merchant has his regular customers.
Here, everything is changing-people are
constantly coming in, who derive all their
information of trade, as we'll as politics and
the natural history and progress of the
country, from the newspaper. From an
acknowledgment of the correctness of the
admission that the PIONEER & DEMOCRAT,
(both daily and weekly is the best medium
for advertising in the State of Minnesota,
for our own merchants, and those abroad
who desire to extend their trade among us.
AS the oldest paper in the State, it has a
place in the regard of the public, which can
not be supplied by any other. Having
double the circulation of any other, it is the
cheapest means of advertising which the
merchant can avail himself of. 1t circulates
largely in the region of which st. Paul is
the trade-centre- having in every county as
many subscribers as the local papers have.
In conclusion we state fact that cannot be
controverted, that the amount of business of
every house, here, is in a direct ratio to the
amount of their advertising.
