Our Exposition Letter.
lr Snecinl Correspondent.

From our Specni Correspondent.
New ORLEANS, Jan. IL, 1856.
The committee appointed at the mass
meeting To raise the needed funds for
transient expenses of the Exposition,
report satisfactory result.
Approaching the magnitude Of the ex-
hibition by States and Territories, the
United States commissioners held a
meeting to memorabilia their respective
legislatures TO appropriate additional
funds to carry out the original intention
Of having said States and Territories
well represented in the way Of keeping
fresh supply Of agricultural. horticul-
tural and pomological productions at
the exposition.
The Press Of Tennessee is almost
unanimous in urging the Legislature OF
that State To raise $4,000 in behalf Of
their State exhibit.
s. To give you readers clear idea Of the
magniticence Of the Exposition, we will
write short descriptive paragraphs OF
tho contents of the various departments,
and there is no better place to begin
than the Government building, which
covers rs acres Of land, contains every
State and Territory will represented in
productions, natural and artificial. The
central space Is monopolized with the
United States matters proper, which

neer PreSS,


IN his address to the Legislature of
Minnesota, Gov. Hubbard speaks the
following good words for Dakota on
the subject OF the admission to State
hood: "The rapidity of the later growth
of the Territory on our west has car
ried it, since its first-application for ad-
mission into the Union, far beyond
what has hitherto been recognized as
the requisite in population to become a
State. AS the area is more than twice
the average In existing States, there is
reason in the demand for division. But
however, it might be divided, one part
at least, and probably both, would have
more than the population required for
a member Of congress. No Territorial
population has ever been, on the aver
age. better fitted by their intelligence,
their experience or their circumstances,
to assume the duties of Statehood than
that Of Dakota. The interest of Min
nesota in her neighbor's elevation in
dignity and Importance is SO clear, that
it Is not to be doubted that our sena.
tors and members Of congress will
earnestly support her admission into
the Union without incitement from us;
but rs it is feared that there may de-
ve!op, in certain direction, an oppo-
sition thereto, motived chiefly in parti-
sanship, perhaps, If the legislature of
this State. unanimously by the votes of
its members of both parties, were to
congress in behalf of such
action for admission as Dakota desires,
notregard TO new States. it might tend
to sec'we for the question consideration
above tliss Of party gain, from the
standpoint of the public good"

Dakota Must BE Admitted.

Minneapolis Tribune.
If the people OF Dakota are desirous
of division of their Territory, or if any
part of Dakota is desirous oi admis-
sion To the Union, and if the only reason
tnese requests 49, .-~t complied NTH is
apolitical one then the party responsible
for the refusal should be ashamed, and
Will be made ashamed Of itself. Dakota
lsNpund To become greater and greater
every year AS one State, or two States,
ii willsave more 10 do with the prog
ress Oh Ge county during the next
quarter Of a century than half "A dozen
southern States That it should be
kept ont in the cold when Nevada was
admitted before It had become old
enough to toddle, and some of the
southreD States were admitted before
they were able to enforce their own
laws, seems an outrage. Dakota has q
right to shout against taxation without
representation. She has also right to
shout against the inconsistency of the
Democratic party, which is yelling for
freedom in one direction and yelling
against it in the other.
Dakota must be admitted into the
Union. either as an intact or divided
Territory. She deserves recognition
from the nation. 1t took and required
as able and adventurous men to open
up that grand domain rs it ever requir-
ed to open up the States of the Penn
sylvania, Ohio, or any of the great
commonwealths west of the mountain
range. Indomitable spirit and un-
quenchable disregard for the conven-
tionalities of thickly formed communi-
ties, inspired them with an energy which
must shine as brightly in American
history as the exploits of those who fol-
lowed Daniel Boone into the wilds Of
Kentucky.
Dakota must he admitted. Ii she is
not admitted, the responsibility lies
with the party i'm power. If that party
is willing to take the responsibility on
the ground that the admission of the
State would injure their prospects
politically, then they will have to suffer
the consequences i'm the future when
Dakota will control as many votes in
the electoral college as Virginia or
South Carolina.

THE SAFEST WAY.

"You never signed the pledge did you,
Uncle Johnp"
Uncle John was Harry's ideal Of a
great and noble man. And it was not
mistaken ideal. Uncle Johns hair was
white with the passing Of over eighty
winters, bat his eve was bright, his step
firm, and his voice earnest and kindly
as ever. His life had been one of up
rightness as well as one of what the
world calls success.
II never signed the pledge on my own
account, but have signed several as
an example or aid Of Others replied
Uncle John.
Casper Firmstone Is all the time
teasing me to sign said Harry, but
know can drink gill OF cider and not
want any more, or let it alone il | do
want it, and | can take one sip of the
best wine Mr.. Fraser has and not take
the second. So don't see any use in
hampering fellow with piece of
paper.
Don't be too sure about what you can
do, Harry. I've seen a good many
sure people in my life, as well as good
many cautious people, and I've always
noticed in a long run that the cautious
people were the safest. III tell you
where first learned that lesson, il you d
like to know"
IL should" said Harry, always ready
at the first hint Of n story.
when / first was boy, q good deal
smaller than you, I lived i'll a small
town in Vermont. There was a large
creek by the village. and at a place
called the Mills there was beautiful
fall OF water, Of ten or twelve feet pitch
ing of from an even-edge fiat rock.
Reaching quite across the creek, a dis
tance of twenty feet, over this fall Of
water, was bridge spanning the stream.
1.-The sides of this bridge were boarded
some four feet high. These side-pieces
were capped by fiat railing of boards
from four to six inches wide. Some of
the more daring school children used to
walk on this narrow Gaping board
when crossing the bridge, and more
than one fall and serious injury hap
pened there.
There was one thing that saved me
from getting hurt or killed by the dan
gerous crossing. You would like to
know what it WASP The easiest thing in
the world. II happened from the small
circumstances that | never had either
the courage or the disposition to walk
there at all! In other words, wasn't
sure Of my head, and | was sure on the
broad open bridge.
II can think Of a great many places
that boys and men try to pass safely
which are quite as dangerous, and
where multitudes fall and ruin them
selves. The safest way is never TO take
;he first step on dangerous path.
