The CONFEDERATE CoMMIssIoNERs.- The
Charleston Mercury ofthe 29th ultimo, says
of the refusal of Great Britain to permit
privateers to bring their prizes into British
ports:
We are only surprised that any Of the
commissioners have remained day in Lon.
don after this order was issued. This is an
act of quasi hostility, which, it appears to
US, ought to have arrested all conferences
with British authorities 1t was well
known that, whilst Great Britain has the
greatest interest in the independence of the
Confederate States, there is an element of
anti-slavery fanaticism which would in all
likelihood, paralyze her counsels in our fa~
v0r.
It concludes by asking
Have our commissioners been empowered
to offer France and England treaty guar
teeiDg for number of years low duties on
their manufactured commodities imported
into the Confederate States? We fear not;
for if they had been empowered to make
such treaties, we are satisfied that they
might before this have returned home with
their mission completely successful; and the
war on our frontier, on The part Of the
United States, reduced to weak absurdity.

Emigration to Minnesota.

The Chicago Post says the principal emf
grafton this season has been to Iowa and
Minnesota, and then adds !:
We have statistics. which, when they are
properly tabulated, will be published, of the
growth of these states from this source du-
ring the past eight months. The greater
part Of the immigration into Minnesota du-
ring this time has been of Norwegians.
This thrifty and hardy people are just the
men to occupy the unimproved fertile lands
of this region. They nearly all bring with
them some money, and in many instances
farming utensils and household goods. Some
as they arrive are ready to go to work, and
at once commence to make contributions of
their labor to the wealth of the nation. A
gentleman OF great practical knowledge and
careful observation. who has recently trav-
elled in Minnesota assures us that in many
respects that state is in most encouraging
way. Settlements are everywhere being
commenced crops are of fine promise
and, with no new interruption to her pros
perity, she will soon take proud rank
among the States of the Union.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-07-19

Senator McDougal, Of California, in pro.
nouncing eulogy upon Senator Douglas,
in the Senate Chamber, the other day, said !:
But, as powerless for the moment to resist
the tide of emotions, r bowed my head in
silent grief, it came to me that the senator
had lived to witness the opening of the
present unholy war upon the government.
That witnessing it from the capital of his
state as his highest and best position, be
had sent forth war cry worthy of that
Douglas who, as ancient legends tell, with
the welcome of the knightly Andalusian
King was told:
stake thou the leading Of the van,
And charge the Mo0rs amain
There is not such lance as thine
In all the hosts of Spain."
Those trumpet notes, with q continuous
swell are still sounding throughout all the
borders of our land. / heard them upon
the mountains and in the valleys of the far
state from which came. They have com.
municated faith and strength to millions.
He lived to witness bis great appeal to a
nation OF freemen answered by unnumber,
ed legions of patriotic men, to feel and I'M
derstand with confident assurance that
the mad assault made by misguided men
upon the integrity of ourt Union, instead
OF resulting in disunion and anarchy, would
establish our institutions upon deeper and
firmer foundations, and leave q certain
guaranty of peace, liberty, and unity to
our children to remote generations. He
lived to have by the majesty and power
Of his last great effort, given above the
reach Of malice or detraction, and to have
secured for his memory the love and adj
mirati0n Of all men who love freedom here,
everywhere and forever. ceased to griye
for Douglas. The last voice Of the dead
Douglas l felt to be stronger than the voices
of the multitude OF living men.
