Our WINTER WEATHER.-Tbis may be a
trite subject, but there is scarcely anything
that has more influence on human enjoy
ments than the weather, and where it has
been SO uniformly pleasant, as we bave had
it in Minnesota, everybody may be excused
in expressing their delight from day to day,
and from month to month, and making it
known to their friends in sections that are
not SO highly favored. Probably the great
est obstacle of emigration to this section of
the West, is the supposed severity of our
winters. The belief through the Eastern
States seems to be almost universal that our
winters are extremely cold, long, and in
every respect to be dreaded. Notwith-
standing the prevalence of this opinion, it is
greatly erroneous. The winters here are
moderate and pleasant, and infinitely to be
preferred to those of New England or the
Middle States. The present winter thus
far, has been as pleasant as any we ever
spent in any climate. The ground is cover.
ed with a sufficient depth of snow to make
good sleighing, and the weather is just cool
enough to brace up the nerves and stir the
blood with fresh vigor. Such has been the
weather the entire winter, and this is but
one and q fair specimen of seven successive
winters we have spent in Minnesota. There
is almost invariably snow enough here to
make good sleighing, and yet very seldom
enough to obstruct business.
We do not wish TO make our Eastern
friends believe this country is paradise
during the winter months, that the weather
is always pleasant, and that we are never
pinched by a "nippipg and an eager air."
for such is not the case; but we desire to
have them know that if we do live "way up
North" we rejoice in the dominion of the
Winter King.

AT Stowe, Vermont, there are five factories
of which starch is made from potatoes. Each
consume about 20, 600 bushels per annum, and
eight pounds of starch is the yield OF each
bushel.-ETchange.
If the people of Vermont or any other Of
the New England States, can afford to
manufacture their potatoes into starch, how
much more profitable would it be in Mime
sofa, where nearly double the quantity OF
potatoes can be raised on an acre of ground,
and the ruling prices are only half that pre-
vail in those localities. Ifthe manufacturers
of those States only knew the advantages
they would derive in the raw material, by
transferring their business to Minnesota, we
should not be long deprived of starch fac
tories, and our farmers would have better
home market. Minnesota ought to be able
to supply the whole Mississippi valley with
starch.

INeERsoLL's HALL.-We dropped in at
this Hall last evening, to observe the pre-
paratons made for the Union Festival on
next Tuesday evening. The Hall is one of
the largest in the city, and from the great
strength and solidity of the building, will
will disarm many who are afraid to enter
other Halls, of any groundless fears of its
safety. The Hall is extremely we'll lighted,
and has number of ventiators in the
ceiling something new in this city-a
guarantee that no audience can be poisoned
with bad air. From its central location,
size, finish, and general adoption to its pur-
poses, this Hall will become popular one.
1t will be dedicated and opened on Tuesday
evening next.

ELEcr1NG PosTMAsrERs.--A proposition
has been made in the Republican newspaper
of this city, that an election be held for
postmaster, and that the person running
the highest number of votes be regarded as
the candidate of the party for that position.
Under this arrangement, or any other,
Democrats are not supposed to have any
voice in the matter. There will have to be
a registry law got up, so that no per,
sons who are not "sound on the goose"
can express their preferences for any one of
the applicants. Then again, what is to be
done with those Republicans that have been
"spotted for expressing conservative SEN
timents, and approval of )Crittesdens propo-
sition, Mr.. Adams plan, or endorsing Mr..
Stewards course, and the words that par
ty (Chicago)platforms must be swept away"
in presence of the danger to the Union? 1t
will never do to have an election. We should
have an irrepressible conflict among us at
once, unless all factions would consent that
the elective franchise should attach to every
body that voted for Abraham.

General SCoTr has issued orders to the
following effect:
1. Officers on leave of absence who have
been absent from duty for period of eight
months, will Immediately proceed to join
their respective companies or stations.
Officers absent for less period, but whose
leave of absence exceeds eight months, will,
in like manner, return to duty at the ex-
piration of that number OF months.
II. Officers absent on account of sickness,
will present themselves to a medical officer
of the army for examination, who in his
report-forwarded to army headquarters for
decision, will give minute history of the
case, distinctly stating whether the officer
can, without injury to his health, travel to
his station; whether the station is in loca-
ton of country likely to retard his restora-
ton to health; and, also, whether proper
medical attention, in every respect, can
there be rendered. a.
