telegraph from ST. Cloud TO British
Possessions. s-fs.

Mr.. FoorE, of Vermont, has introduced
in the Senate bill to aid in the construc-
ton of a telegraph line from St. Cloud,
Mimi, to the British Possessions in Cam
ada. The bill allows the Northwestern
Telegraph company to extend one of their
main lines from St. Paul by the route of
the Pacific Railroad, to ST. Cloud, and
from thence to the southern boundary of
the British Possessions, at or near Penn
bina, there to connect with the line of the
Hudson Bay company, to be extended
thence to the Pacific at or near Victoria,
thence making a continuous line by this
general route from Lake Michigan, via La
Crosse, st. Paul, st. Cloud and Pembina,
to the Pacific ocean. The bill grants one
section of land for every telegraph station
along the line, not exceeding one station
to every fifteen miles.

If not, the doubts and uncertainty con-
nected with the present condition of things
will continue, and further settlement will
result, as it has the past season, in talk and
smoke.
After what has taken place on the
frontier, it is useless to talk about safety I"
without adequate military protection, and
that extended in the proper direction. We
trust steps will soon be taken to afford
such protection. All other troubles are of
minor consequence TO the settler, when he
takes his wife and children on to frontier
home. As anxious as We are to see our
State settle up, and as important as it is to
the commercial interests of st. Paul, we
yet could not urge people to the frontier
with any possibility of a re-enactment of
the scenes of 1862.
The line of military posts contemplated
would at once remedy the whole matter,
SO Tar as the settler is concerned, and the
government could take its own time to war
with the Sioux or renew treaty stipula-
tons with them.
There is now in operation a good first
class four-mill and saw-mill at Kingston,
and also first-class f1our-mill and saw
mill at Greenleaf. Both four-mills have
two run of stones. .~."
