ST. PABL, MIXXIBOTJL, Feb. 2d, 1852.

Friend Donaldson 's I believe I promised iu my last, to give you 6ome account of the extent of this Territory, settlement, ite.

As I have given you an account of this placc, I will merely say that it is fast rising in importance, as much probably as any country this side of California towns it is about eighteen miles by water below the Falls of St. AnihouyTand eight by land.. Property seems to

„nA tnwn

that KOSPIUITUOCS LIQUOBS shall KVER be sold on that addition. There are several towns laid out, and some improving jrapidly. Itasca, a few miles above the mouth of the St. Francis river, yet small. ^\atab, in Benton county, 100 miles, above St. Anthony, is a brisk little place and the principal trading post with the Winnebagoes, who have a large village near by. -?.V'}

Swan river,or Aitkin's Ferry, 25 miles above Watab, is a fine trading post, and has proba bly now 150 inhabitants. Sauk Rapids is a new place, and is the county seat of Benton county. There are only four or five families there yet—one lawyer of course.

This is a fine farming country, and all kinds of grain seems to come to perfection as well

as any part 0f

the Territory. Belle Prai-

ne. Crow-Wing, opposite to the mouth of Crow-Wing river, is a good trading post. Gull Lake is an Indian farming and blacksmithing station, with about 700 inhabitants.

There are many little settlements and some fine farms already, within five, ten or fifteen miles of thra place.

Stillwater, on the St. Croix river, eighteen miles by land from this place, is a flourishing little town, and on this river, above Stillwa ter, are several settlements, villages, mills and lumbering stations.

I think lumber for building, and provisions, will bs had at fair prices next fall. Oats can now be had for 20 to 30 cents Corn from 35 to 40 cents Corn meal 75 cents Chickens 15 to 20 cents, and Turkeys from $1,25 to $2,00.— Firewood from $2,00 to $2,50. New smoked hams 12 cents and butter (old and strong at that) 20 to 25 eggs 25 to 50 cts. per doz.— House rent is high, water is becoming scarce in the wells. Hauling water here would now be*a good business—the winter is the dry season.

Our citizens are taking a noble stand 111 tlie Temperance cause the Sons are rallying again, after a partial sleep, they have risen with their strength renewed, and ready for the noble warfare.

The Tcmperance Watchmen (a new Order) are springing up, like Pho3nix, from tho ashes of all old Societies, and exerting a wonderful influence.

Old fashioned Temperance Societies are being organized in various parts of the country, and all the friends of the good cause, had a meeting on Friday evening last, and agreed to present to the Legislature a petition to prohibit the importation, manufacture, sale, or gift of ardent spirits and what is better, the friends of temperance, ladies, and members of tho different Orders, are, on the l6lh inst., to form a procession and march to the Legislative Hall and demand its passage.

I was, yesterday, invited to the Catholic Church and heard a fine energetic tcmperance lecture from the Bishop, who has formed a society similar to others out of that Church.— So you see that all classes nearly, or the best portioD of every one, is engaged in this noble cause.

The weather, for the last week, has been warm for this place—the ground thawed a little—a little snow Saturday, though clear aud pleasant again to-day.

We had a distinguished arrival here about a week ago—it was a Count from France. He came with dog train from Tembina, accompanied by two servants and interpreter I believe, and the owner of the dogs. I saw him yesterday n*. Church—he has a very soft and vacant look the most feature about him is the nose, the rest_of his face being covered with long red hair, which looks like it had not seen either comb or brush, since he left France.

EXTRAORDINARY RAPS.—The Bloomington Reporter, reports, that at Point Commerce, a young man went into a dark room to meet the spirit of a departed friend, aud not coming out soon, the company went after him, and found him on the floor insensible. After being restored to consciousness he stated that the spirit did appear and spoke to htm. and he swooned with

fear. A writer from Perrysville to the Covington Ledger, over the signature of "T. H." savs, a spirit had been seen in the family of Mr. S. of that place. It came into the room and took a seat, but vanished when a person attempted to touch it. It was known as the spirit of a little daughter, of the gentleman at whose house they were making rapping investigations. So

WHIG XEETNRO nr VEEIOLLION. At a meeting of the whigs of the County

of Vermillion held in Newport, Satur-

day the 21st mst., for-the purpose ot ap- .- pointing delegates to attend the Whig State Convention to be held at Indianapolis. on the 26th of February, 1852, Charles S. Little was called to the chair, and D. M. Jones appointed Secretary.

On motion of Thomas C. W. Sale, Esq., a committee of three was appointed to draft

the meeting consisting of Messrs. Lowry, ^lorer and ColleLt, who retired, and upon returning, reported the following resolutions through Mr. Lowry, the chairman, which were unanimously adopted: f||| jResolved, That we heartily respond to the call for a Whig State Convention to meet at Indianapolis, 011 the 26th of February. (inst..) for the purpose of nominating suitable persons to fill the various Stale offices prescribed by the New Constitution and, that while we have confi-

dence that whigs who are honest and capable will be selected, we promise a cheerful and cordial support.

Resolved, That the right of private udgment, the liberty of speech, and of the press, afe among the choicest blessings which have been handed down to us by a a

Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to make provision for the improvement of Rivers and Harbors, and that the increasing commerce upon our western waters calls loudly for more adequate provision than has been made hitherto.

Resolved, That the wants of the country demand such a modification of the existing tariff as will more fully protect the labor of our country, so that our national re

sources may become better developed, and that our railroads may be supplied with iron from within our own borders, and that every branch of industry may receive that amount of encouragement which it is the duty of the General Government to give.

Resolved, That we acquiesce in the late acts of Congress upon the exciting subject of slavery, known as the Compromise Measures, and we look upon the further agitation of the subject, at this time, either by the North or South, as being mischievious.

Resolved, That we approve of the able

and truly American administration of President Fillmore and his Cabinet. Questions have arisen in our own naLional affairs during his administration, critical and embarrassing—yet. President Fillmore by his devotion to the Union and to the laws of the land, has shown himself equal to the crisis.

Resolved, That while we, as republicans, sympathise with those who are struggling to be free in the Old World, we

would still adhere to the doctriue, under which we have grown great and powerful —of non-intervention in the wars or politics of other countries—"friendly intercourses with all nations, entangling alliances with none," is our true motto of for

eign policy. Resolved, That in Gen. Winfield Scott, we have a man worthy to be our standardbearer in the next Presidential Campaign. His patriotism, his public services, and his capacity, point to him as being eminently qualified for the high station. At the same time we will cheerfully support Fillmore, Crittenden, or any other tried man which may be put in nomination the National Convention.

On motion of M. P. Lowry. Esq., there were five delegates appointed from each township, to attend the State Convention, which was confirmed by the meeting, viz:

Higldand Totonship. G. H. McNeill, W. B. Moffatt, James Snodgrass, Jacob Givens, Asaph Hill.

Eugene.—R. M. Waterman, Hiram Matson,John Collett. James Groenendyke,

Francis Head. Vermillion.—Thomas C. \Y Sale, John Bones, David Shelby, Cuunus M. Culbert-

son. M. P. Lowry. Belt.—John 0. Wishard, William Skidmore, Solomon Bricker,E. B.James,John Milikan.

Clinton.—Alonzo Lyons, J. B. Hedges, William Barrick, Dr. Kile, John Whitcomb.

Thomas C. W. Sale offered the follow

ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That each and every good whig in the county, be appointed a delegate to the State Convention, to be bold on the 26th of this month.

Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Wabash Express and the Perrysville Eagle.

SENATE. Feb. 20th.—Mr. Defrees, from the selcct committee on that subject, reported a substitute for the bill he introduced not long since, providing for a system of free banking, and made a speech in its favor. The further consideration of the subject was postponed until Wednesday the 3d day of March. House bill to provide for the speedy redemption of outstanding treasury notes and Joint Resolution of the House asking an appropriation of Congress to construct a canal around the falls of the St. Mary's, were passed. In the afternoon, 5,000 copies of the Address of Mr. S. K. IIOSHOUR aud Prof. MILLS, ou the subject of common school education, were ordered to be printed for the use of the Senate. The House bill for the sale of the State's interest in the Madison road, with divers amendments proposed, were debated the balance of the day.

IIODSK. —Among the petitions presented to-day was one by Mr. Owen against "religious gambling." It asked legislation to prevent the practice of putting rings in cakes, at parties given for church purposes, «fec. No new bills were reported. Some old ones were reported back, without any definite action thereon. A motion was made to strike from the general railroad bill a clause declaring that nothing therein contained should impair or effect any of the franchises of any charter heretofore granted. Messrs. Stanfield, King, and Gookins opposed the motion, and Messrs. Stuart, Stover, McDonald, and Owen advocated it. The clause was struck out—ayes 56, noes 28—on the

The Monilcur published a financial exposure, showing the estimated deficiency for the year to be 25,000,000 francs.

It was considered satisfactory on Bourse that Monsieur Fould had refused to return to office, unless extensive modifications of the Orleanist decrees are conceded.

M. Demorney also refused, without a material change of policy should take place.

M. Dupins' resignation did not seem to surprise the President, but none of the journals were permitted to publish it.

Prince Jerome Bonaparte has been nominated as President of the Senate, and Mainnard, a Senator, first Vice President.

A meeting was held at Newcastle upon Tyne on the 30th ult., to take measures in raising some volunteer rifle corps to repel the invasion. The Royal artillery at Woolwich were medically inspected.— Thirty were to enter on a course of field duty in a few days. Regiments quartered at Portsmouth garrif-on had received orders to send out additional recruiting parlies. Guns of larger calibre, than at present, are being mounted at Fort Anglesea.

The Wheeling Bridge Case.

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania against the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Company adverse to the Company, the majority of the Court holding that the bridge is an obstruction to the river. A correspondent of the North American says "The majority of the Court also held that Pennsylvania, through her public works, has been injured because the nav-
