The ssIns,, and NOuts1 I'm this
States.

The editor of the Winona Republican,
who has just returned from Washington,
gives the substance of our article on the
contemplated changes of Federal officers
in this State, with such additions as his
own information on the subject suggested
Our own information, so far as it went, is
confirmed by the Republican in almost
every particular. The reasons assigned
for the retention of CLARK W. THOMPSON
is the contemplated return of the Sioux
and Winnebago Indions to Dakota an Ne
braska, and the probability of his office
being abolished at the next session of Con-
gress, and that the President has ordered
his retention. ST.. A. D. BALooLMR will
doubtless be retained as Winnebago Agent
for the next four years. The fate of Mr..
BLAKE, Assessor of the First District has
not yet been definitely determined. J. B.
DowNKR, member of the Legislature from
Wabasha, and Mr.. BULLS, Of Rice county,
have been suggested in connection with
the Land Office at Saint Peter. d. r.
HoL1EY, Register of the Land Office, will
probably retain his office.
Among the appointments ordered or
made, of citizens of Minnesota, to posi-
tons not confined to the State, the Re-
pubHcau notes the following: OSCAR
MALMRos, of st. Paul, Consul to Galatz,
in one of the Danubian provinces OF Aus
tria; EDWARD D. NELL, of st. Paul, to
be Secretary to the President to sign
patents CHAs. B. WHITING, to be Regis
ter of the Land Office at Taylor's Falls;
GRIFFETH O. EVANS, of Brownsville, CHAs.
A. CorTRELL, and Mr.. NNNGER, to be
Assistant Quartermasters in the army,
with the rank of captain; B. W. BRowN-
son and GEORGE T. BLAIR, to be Addi-
tional Psymasters.

A Masonic FACT.-Dr. r. G.. Scott,
Past Grand Master, in an address deliv-
cred years ago, made the following state
ment. 1t is honorable to the Masonic IN
stitution- and We presume the members
of that ancient body will be pleased to
read and see it circulated:
From sources of information on which eni
tirely rely, state the fact that fifty at least of
those who signed the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence were Masons, and the same history in
forms US that every Major General of the Rev
dictionary army was Mason, save one-that
one was Benedict Arnold.

CANADA.
The Resources OF the Province.

From the Hamilton &C. W. Spectator
First, the mineral wealth of Canada is
immense, needing only capital to develop
it and render it great source of national
wealth. The Lake Superior copper has
already become famous for its extent and
value, and the Acton copper mine, in
Lower Canada, is one of the richest in the
world. The iron deposits in the neighbor-
hood of Lake Superior seem to be practi-
cally inexhaustible.
In the vicinity of the Gilbert and Chau-
diere rivers, in Lower Canada, have been
found large deposits of gold, which seem
likely to conduce largely to the wealth and
prosperity of the provinces.
With the oil wells of Upper Canada we
are all more familiar, but probably few
among us have any adequate idea of their
importance. The section CT country em-
braced by them is over ten thousand
miles.
The quantity of grain produced by Can
ada annually seems almost fabulous. Of
wheat last year over $4,000, 900 bushels
were grown; 100000 bushels of peas
100000 bushels of oats; over 1900.
600 tons of hay; 13,00O,O 900 bushels of
buckwheat; $4,000, 600 bushels OF pota-
toes, and 10000 900 bushels Of turnips.
We also produced 100000 pounds OF
beef, sheared $4,000 pounds of wool.
and made 45,000,00O pounds of butter.
The number of mich COWS, horses. sheen.
and pigs is considerably over two millions'
Turning to our manufactures we find
them by no means insignificant. Lower
Canada alone contains over 1000 saw
mills, and in one year cut nearly 500. OO0.-
600 feet of lumber.
The coast line from the Gulf of St.
lawrence to Lake Superior is over 1000
miles, and beside our magnificent system
OF water communication we have over
1000 miles of railroad traversing the
country in all directions.
The population of Canada liable to mill
tary duty Is about half million, the en-
bodied militia about 80, 900 men, the vol
unteers alone numbering some $4,000.
There are nearly three hundred news
papers in the two Canadas, employing
1000 persons; 5000 schools educating
10000 boys and girls.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1865-03-31

The above estimate is not far from the
truth. The amount at some points is given
too large, and at others too small. At Red
Wing, for instance, there are $4,000
bushels instead of 10000, while 100000
is too large for this city. Not estimating
the amount in the hands of farmers for
sale, but only what is stored and awaiting
the opening of navigation to be shipped,
2, 600, 900 bushels is not far from the &C.
tual amount.
