Great News from Minnesota.
From the Fort Garry Nor W ester.


We call attention to the following re-
marksbe document, for copy of which we
have to thank Mr.. J. G. Burbank, of st.
Paul. 1t merits careful attention. It is
not mere newspaper article, or the compo.
sition of any one individual; but the grave
deliveranoe of Legislature. The Mime
sofa Legislature, it will be seen, memorial
Use the Congress of the United States for
something almost equivalent to the annexa-
tion of this country to the great Republic.
1t is not stated in so many words; but the
whole drift and scope of this remarkable
memorial looks as if the Minnesota politi-
clans were cherishing wish and hope which
they prefer to hint rather than pointedly and
openly avow.
The Legislature has high opinion of US
and of the country, seems anxious that we
should return their high esteem. Mark the
following passages: "Central British Amer
lea is capable of sustaining as dense pop
ulatiOn as Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. The climate and soil invite similar
agriculture. Selkirk Settlement, with a
population of 10000 sou s." &c.
Again
The Bill in the British Parliament for Great
ing it Crown Colony has not been pa sed
during the Palmerston Administration, greatly
to the dissatisfaction of the Red River people.
And again:
Our revenue and postal system has removed
their prejudices to commercial and even pc.
litical association with the United States.
Then this striking passage:
If England does not Immediately politically
organize the Red River aud Saskatchewan
country. its Americanization cannot long be
postponed.
Yet again:
The people of Minnesota though satisfied
with their present frontier, are desiring no
more than International treaties assign them,
still. they claim to be central to vast division
of physical geography -which means, We pre-
sumo, that they claim a good slice of this
country.
Once more quote
which late events would suggest, upon which
it may be expedient to enlarge.
And,-
The intelligent community of Selkrk esti.
mate very highly the postal benefits conferred
by the Government It Washington. If the
mails were made weekly. the favorable i'm
preston would be proportionate. Congress
can readily anticipate the bearing of these
facts, &c.
Now what does all this look like =? Is it
not the language of men anxious to get this
country? They pat US on the shoulders,
fatter our pride, excite our self interest,
and praise our country. The Governor g
message, to which allusion is made 10 the
Memorial, we had already seen. We COM

the Red River people, simply adding, that
this move of tie Minnesota Legislature
will be hailed with satisfaction by large
portion of the Selkirkites, as it will benefit
the country by directing attention to it.

and the carriage burned, but the imm ense
thickness at the breech prevented its being
heated through sufficiently to cause an ex-
plosion. 1t is probably one of the guns
brought by the Bermuda some time since.
Among the other guns uninjured is a 9.
inch Dahlgren gun, which was cast in 1855,
and is supposed to be one of those stolen by
the rebels at Norfolk.
All the guns, with the exception of the
English gun mentioned, are no doubt
those stolen from the United States at va.
ri0us points. The extreme northern gun
at Shipping Point is bursted, and an in.
scriptiOn on the face of the breastwork
states that "this gun burst on the 18th of
February, 1862" There was a rumor in
our camp at that time that it had burst,
killing two men and woundng one, which
this date seems to confirm.
Three scouting parties were sent out from
Shipping Point in different directions. The
first proceeded up Quantico Greek, discov,
ering the lately deserted camps of the ene-
my. They proceeded to within mile OF
Dumfries, capturing young man belong.
ing to company in Texas regiment
called "The Yankee Killers" He appeared
quite willing to be taken.
A second company was sent up the South
bank of Quantico Greek, and discovered nu-
merous evidence of a large force of the enemy
having lately occupied the place. A suffers
store, with stock of some three thousand
dollars worth of goods, consisting of boots
and shoes, tobacco and cigars, meats, vege-
tables, fruits, &C., was found. 1t had been
so hastily deserted that some two or three
dollars in Change had been left in the money
drawer. They also found silk flag, beau
tifully embroidered, and inscribed "Ran.
dolph Hornets" and on the reverse Coward
to Victory )" also, fine silk banner, which
had been thrown into the creek, bearing On
one side the Arkansas seal, and on the re,
verse the following inscription, which l give
