ALEX ANDRTA
&c. DOUGLAS COUNTY.

This town is beautifully located in one of
the finest Agricultural regions in the North
West. 1t is inthe centre Of the County and is
| admitted by oil to occupy a natural point for
| Town. Farmers in quest of superior land
! claims combining timber, water, and prairie
| Invalids seeking health and a comfortable re-
treat where hunting and fishing may be indul-
ged in to any extent; or the lover of the
beautiful in nature, will at Alexandria find
their several tastes gratitied. '.,~:.
Situated on the State Road to Breckinridge
and Fort Abercrombie-equally distant from
either-under the management of men possess
ing the utmost energy, Alex andria bids fair
to be one Of the largest inland towns in NM
nesota. The country to the south and west
is Prairie and Timber in the finest proportion !;
while to the North and East there extends an
unbroken body of Woodland, the greater por-
ton of it being of good SIZE and quality.
The Prairies and Lakes in the vicinity de-
serve particular mention. "Eden Prairie' is
ten miles long, and from one to one and a-half
miles wide, with timber along the sides and is
we'll watered. It offers superior facilities to
Farmers and at many points along are beauti-
full building spots on the shore Of beautiful
lake. "Garden Door" and a. Sedge" Pralries
are also worth the attention Of Farmers, being
of moderate size; high upland; and entirely
enclosed with timber. These Prairies all d.
verge from the Town Site and are accessible
to the State Road. Lake "Agnes' and *'Wi-
nona," skirting 'sEdcn Prairie,' charming bod
les of water and for picturesque beauty cannot
be surpassed. Within one,two and three miles
are Lakes IL. Homedieu" ''Carlos' and ''Dar-
ling" connecting and forming sheet of water
20 miles in extent. These lakes are grand and
beautiful Along their banks are thousands
of claims-a country capable of supporting
dense settlements, and to those seeking homes
in the West is presented country possessing ex
traordinary attractions. The Company offe
he most liberal inducements to actual settler
tonthe Town Site. Letters addressed to tn
Executive Committee, JOHN BALL, WIN
or to GEORGE F. BROTT, St., Cloud, will b
promptly answered.

w ASAlN0TON, lee. oil
The report that prevailed this evening
throughout the city that Gen. Scott had
been appointed secretary Of War al inter-
i'm. produced a thrilling effect, and occa-
stoned much Indignation among secession
lists, who are fully aware that Gen. Scott
is in favor Of extensive military prepara-
TONS. The truth is that Postmaster Gen.
eral Holt is in temporary charge of the
Department, and tonight was attending
TO the duties there in company with the
Chief Clerk Gen. Scott has not been
other at tho Department or at the Presi-
dents house to-day. Both Thompson
anil Thomas were at the Cabinet meeting
to day, though rumor had declared other
wise. Many reports prevail with no
truth TOR their foundation which serve
only to add to the already intense excite
ment.
Mr.. B;ngham's bill, further to provide for
the collecting Of duty imports, which was
introduced into the House to-day, and re-
terrcd to Committee on Judiciary, looks
to the increase OF tho Presidents power to
enforce the revenue laws.
Certain parties in Now York have pro.
posed to take the remainder, over So 900,
900 Of tho late S5,0O0,O0O loan, but the
particulars have not yet been received.
1t Was said, however, at the Treasury
Department that tue last named sun
would probably be realized in the course
Of a week, when the acquisitions of the
public officers would be met. The Con-
gressmen are among thos, whose arrearag-
6 have not been settled.
WASHINGTON, January /.
To-day is general holiday in all the
departments, and the municipal Offices are
closed. All the foreign ministers, and
army and navy officers paid their respects
to the President, after which there was
general admittance. A few union and
secession cockades were seen in the crowd
The meetings were cheerless, and the
greetings lacked the earnestness Of former
similar occasions. But few members of
20 'gress were present
WASHINGTON, January 2.
An earnest address to the people Of the
Unitel States is proposed, recommending
them t., rally to compromise on the basis
Of the propositions Of Senators Crittenden:
anil Biyler. It is already signed by a
number Of Senators AMI Representatives.
The most intimate friends Of the Presi-
dent say his present determination is not
to remand Maj. Anderson to Fort Mou(trie.
The report that troops have been sent to
Charleston created great indignation
among some Southerncrs. If any orders
tor such m ,ycmcnts have been given,
they have been revoked. The sloop-ot-
war Brooklyn is at Norfolk oficercd and
manned for any emergency. According
to the presidential programme. the Presi-
dents message, cmbodying the PROPOSE
ton OF the South Carolina commissioners
will BE- sent to the House and will prob
ably be tabled.

THE NATIONAL TRoUBLEs-The Nashville Banner,
strong Union paper, thus expresses its opinions
The oligarchs Of the Confederated States OF
America are remarkable for two things-getting
along without referring any of their actions back to
the people for ratification and the raising Of standing
armies But their guns point too much inland. The
forces they raise would be of little avail against any
coercive force which is likely to come against them
from without-for that must come by way Of the
sea- But they are capital against their own people
The coercion these usurpers fear is to come from
their own people, and against that it is they raise
standing armies. Thus they can enforce silence
which will give the consent ofthe governed to any
form Of government they may ordain" T..

them Odious and no less offensive and injurious to
their sense serespect and to their interests than
the force OF arms that the sanctty of the federal
Judiciary has been threatened and set at naught in
order to destroy the only peaceful guard and guar.
antee of their rights of property and federal eauali-
ty and that sectional hate which engendered these
evils is continually magnifying them by every form
and effort ofincendiarism, until they are no longer
endurable; until the people actuated BY it have OBJ
tanned the reins Of federal authority and control in
all the departments Of government and until several
OF the sovereigntes parties to the federal compact
have been compelled to resume the powers granted
10y them under the Federal Constitution, and to
form separate and independent confedcracy there
by dissolving the Union of the United States Of
America.
These wrongs have been perpetrated in part by
the Federal Government either by acts of omission
or commission in part by the non-saveholding States
and IN part by their people, unrestrained by laws,
such as conederates are bound to enact in respect
to the rights and safety of each other
And tie secession, consequent upon these wrongs,
is now met by every indication of an intention and
an attempt to coerce the submission of seeding
States by the authorities of the Federal Government
who are but the mere agents of the sovereign parties
to the federal compact, without even an appeal to
them for the sanction Of any ultimate resort to force
Thus. under the pretext Of enforcing laws Of the
Federal Government, the jurisdiction of which is
now denied and abjured by the seeding States the
nation is mminently threatened by an unnatural
and unnecessary civil war equally unnecessary,
whether the Union is to be finally dissolved or re-
stored. -.- -.
These Indications are made but too plainly man
Hest by the failure of the Conference, naugurated
by the Legislature of this Commonwealth herself
to agree on any terms of adjustment; by the dis
caimer of all power on the part Of the federal au
thorites to negotiate for peace with the commission
ers Of the seeded States; by the inaugural address

Whilst State remains in the Union, the legitimate
use of such forts, &C., is to protect the country
against foreign force, and to aid in suppressing
domestic instruction. To use, or prepare them to
be used to intimidate State or constran its free
action, is perversion Of the purposes for which
they were obtained; they were not intended to be
used against the States in whose limits they are
found, in the event of civil war. In time of pro-
found peace with foreign nations such as now exists
and when no symptoms of domestic instruction
appear-but whilst irritating questions, of the
deepest Importance, are pending between the States;
to accumulate within the limits of State interested
in such question, an unusual amount of troops and
munitions OF war, not required for any legitimate
purpose, is unwise impolitic and offensive.
