respectfully request all American citizens within the

Seaflring meh are especially requested 10 refrain
from ordinary labor and recreations on that day,
and to unite IN the services as requested by the Pres

Our far famed and beloved country has never had
greater cause for graduation, joy and thanksgiving
than at this moment. We have nearly solved the
great problem whether Americans properly trained,
are capable Of self government, and the decision is

cereesponasncs Of the paciae Commercial Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR The Royal Agricultural Society
was lnrely Iesurrected by the choice of a new set
Of officers. That was well. Every organization
should have an object in view. So also the Agricul-
tural Society, in its new organization, should seek to
carry out the objects for which it was created.
2 1t is currently reported that the funds of the
Society-l7OO dollars, more or less-are sought to
be Withdrawn from the bank, to be sunk in private
speculation. That may be proper or improper, as
the directors view the matter. If they are invested
anywhere, should it not be IN the safest way posi-
ble,-in Government stocks, where they will be
secure? Many who contributed towards those
funds, did 80 for the sole purpose Of sustaining a
public garden. For this object, therefore, the funds
of the Society should be held sacred, and not squan-
deIel in uncertain speculations. The government
contributed largely TO the support of the Society,
and could anything be more proper than TO invest
the funds OF the s Getty in government stocks? The,
interest thus arising, with the income of the garden
itself, would secure "a faithful overseer, keep open
n popular resort, and also enable the Importation
of new plants and seeds. Yours SC,
AGRICOLUs.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER,

Was the first newspaper published within the
limits of Minnesota and has been issued con-
tinuously since 1S49. During that period
nearly a dozen competing papers have been
started, run careers of greater or less length,
and have expired. The WEEKLY PIONEER is
the only journal which started with the organi-
zltion of the Territorial Government, and has
survived through all the business and political
changes OF the last fifteen years. For ten
years it has been under its present manage
ment The fact that it has thus been published,
without interruption, when competing enter
prises have failed, justitiest the Publishers in
assuming that its general management has
been satisfactory to the public. They there
fore propose no essential change for the year
1864. AS heretofore, it will be their aim to
faithfully represent and support the interests
of Minnesota and to furnish its people with
the latest and most reliable information in
every department of news-employing for this
purpose, as hitherto, every available assistance
within their reach.
