VOLUME XII,

With the present number The
JOURNAL enters upon its Twelfth
Year. Since the dste Of its first issue,
10 1857, St. Cloud has grown from a
mere village "a few scattered houses
to be one of the first cities in the State.
Its prospects grow better with each
year, and at no time did they look
more promising than they do now
The recent movements leading to the
construction If the Northern Pacific
Railroad are fraught with benefits to
this place so great as to be almost be-
yond exaggeraticn. Other lines Of
road are 10 contemplation, and but a
few years can elapse before this will
be railroad center second only to St..
Paul. Manufactures Ct all kinds are
aourishiog; and the business Of the
place during the past year has been
very heavy, especially in view of the
stringency of the money market. Ed
ucatiocal institutions Of the most SUBJ
stant;al character are in process Of
construction, and in few months St.
Cloud will offer very superior advanta-
ges to those who desire thorough el-
ucation.
We have thus referred briefly to
some Of the principal features marking
the advancement Of the place, believing
that it is very difficult for live paper
to flourish in other than live town
St. Cloud is live town, and We have
endeavored to make The JOURNAL q
fair reflex Of its character. Enlarge.
ments and improvements have been
made from time to: time, and every en-.
deavor has been put forth to render
the paper interesting and Of value to
the people Of St. Cloud and Northern
Minnesota, as we'll as to those abroad
who desire to obtain information con-
cetsins this State. The large and
steadily increasing subscription list ev-
licences that these efforts have not been
uuappreciated. Our advertising col.
umns show that the merchants and bus.
mess men Of the place understand thu
value Of this list and arc taking advan;
tage of it.
With bright prospects for St. Cloud
and an encouraging future for itself
The JOURNAL starts forth o: anothe,

5. L. Pierce. Mrs. B., taking the
place of her husband who died several
years ago, has made an interesting pa.

herself and the town.

our State-has disposed Of her Office to
Mr.. R. G. Mitchell, lately Of Anoka.
She, too, was called to the cares of the
editorial chair by the stern hand of
death, which took him upon whom she
bad relied; and though laboriug under
many difficulties, she has succeeded ad-
mirably in the work she undertook

CHICAGO ON THE NORTHERN Pa
CIFIC.

The Chicago papers short time ago
could see no good in the Northern Pa
ci6c Railroad, and the efforts tor a gov
eminent subsidy met with tie most de-
termiDed opposition from the papers of
that city and the Illinois delegation in
Congress. But lately these papers
have changed their base, and are laud-
ing the route in the highest terms
The Tribune says that "io. regard to
the facilities for building AMI running
the road, it is we'll understood thu: they
are far better than those which have
been overcome in constructing the
Central liue. The grades will be vc,y
much better, for there will be but two
snmits." 1t says again "Besides the
large local business this road would DO
sure to create and command, by the de-
velopmens Of the rich agricultural dis
tricts along its line and that of the. vast
mineral resources cf Montana and
Idaho, it would have very great ad-
vantage over the Central road in better
grades and in the immense through
business it would attract" And coz
clu6es with this urgent request: "On
every y consideration, therefore, of
national development and personal pc
ouDiary advantage, it is to be hoped the
Northern Pacific Railway Company
will forward their grca. work to COM
pletion as fast as men and moocy can do
it," 49, VS.
This radical change must have some
cause, and that cause is no special love
for the Northern Pacific. Its construc-
ton would materially interfere with the
Intentions previously entertained by
Ch;o'g' for m nopo}xng t. a great

It found culmination, also, during
the past week the action Of the Brit

half Of those capitalists, NJ. Litchfeld,
of London, tehgraphed on Thursday,
9Th July, to the President of that com.

constructing that road (Which had only
forty miles built this spring, and now
has seventy-five miles completely to

lance Of PA miles northwest from St.
Paul, during 1869. A favorable reply
having been given, orders were received
by the President from London on Tues.
day, 18th instant, to complete the road
