ceu that a reasonably profitable eanal has to
do, It follows that the tolls need not be onetentn
as muoh as those assessed upon the tonnage ot
ordinary canals. The tax upon the business
of ttua river may therefore be very Ugh »
yet the work pay good dividends upon tdcfiock.
06 a work of such magnitude, we ««" ’ 1 '
riva at proximate estimates of what the tar'll of
tolls ought to be to make it pay by comparing it
with similar works already existing, both in re
ference to its length, its relative coßt, and the
probable amount of its business. Bat the less
tho tax laid upon tho commerce of tho river the
better for the country at large. The consumer
of coal in Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, or
New Orleans, and tho consumer of flonrin Pitts
burgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York or
Boston, will both be benefitted by such polioy;
and when it can bo shown that a largo majority
of the American people will participate in the
benefits of the improvement, surely we may con
fidently aßk Congress for a donation equal to at
least one-third the cost of the work, not to swell
the dividends of stockholders, hat to enable the
company to make the navigation almost free. I
say a donation , because I believe it is not at all
desirable that tho general government, or even
the Btate government, should beoome sharehold
- era, and be participants in its management, ex
cept by the enaotment of laws neoessary to the
regulation and oontrol of the corporation. Ex
perience baa taught ns that pnblio works, under |
national or state management, are not only un
profitable, but demoralizing and dangorouß. Far
better that the work should be dono solely by
individual effort, than that it should beoome an
areas for the struggles and trickery of politici
ans and place-hunters. But let Congress give
SB much to this work as it gave to tho Illinois
Central Railroad —and that was a clear donation
—and it will soon be aosomplished.

Pqb. Docs. —Thanks to tho Hod. Richard
B redhead and the Hon. David Ritchie for pub.
docs, of value.
Oar paper is crowded with other matter
to-day, and we must lay over till to-morrow rv
notice of the Custom House “ organ.” Wo
will give it special attention then.
IMPROVEMENT OF TEE OelO.— We Would C&U
particular attention to the article on this subject
to be foand on our outside to-day. It is writien
by one who has made the subject bis study for
years, and anything from him, therefore, is wor
thy of consideration.
It is now known certainly that the Czar,
Nicholas, is dead; and the important fact is also
known that Alexander is Emperor. The fact is
important because his character and known &en
timents give promise of a more pacific policy
than that of his father ; nod far more peaccablo
than would probably have been the policy of
Constantine, had ho sncceeded to tho throne.
The European war may be terminated before
many months. But this is not certain. Alex
ander will submit to no dishonorable terms.
He is thoronghly Russian in bis cbar&oter; ac
customed to publio life and the cares of state;
has received a military education; and well qq
derstands the strength of his empire.
The events of the war thus far give the allies
no right to claim terms hamiliatiog to Rnssia.
Bates England is already tired of the struggle,
and has as yet won no laurels, tho recent events
favor the belief that peaoo will be the result ou
fair terms.
We would have had no objection to a trial of
the allied fleets upon the granite fortifications of
Cronstadt. A little smashing op of their splen
did fleets might have contributed somewhat to
the safety of this country. With peace in Eu
rope those fleets will doubtless be sent over to
settle those “ Western questions” that Lord Cla
rendon said England and Franoe were allied to
settle.
The extinction of a single life at St. Peters
bargh has materially altered tho prospeots of
all the nations of the earth. Tbe cffocts of that
Barope&n war would have been everywhere felt,
and its termination will be an event of great
Importance to the world in various ways. The
news from Enrope for months to oome will be of
great interest.
A. W. Foster, Esq.—lt will be booh by his
advertisements in another colamn, that the
above named gentleman, who has lately been ap
pointed Notary Public, is prepared to attend to
all baßiness in that line, as well as procuring
land warrants for old soldiers, under the new
bounty land law. He will also continue his law
practice. He is also commissioner for several
States to take acknowledgments of deeds, &o.
Mr. Foster has resided for many years in this
city, and is well known to our citizens as an able
lawyer, and an excellent citizen. His indastriono
habits and application to business, his intelli
gence and probity of oharaoter are a sufficient
guarantee that all business entrusted to his
care will be promptly and faithfully attended
to. His appointment as Notary was an excel
lent one.
Tnx Rarity of Christian Charity. —At a
banquet given to the New York Legislature, on
Blaokwell’s Island, recently, the celebrated Jew
ish Rabbi, M; J. Raphall, responded to a toast in
honor of “The Clergy.” This so outraged the
feelings of a seot&ri&n paper called The Church'
man, that it devoted the whole of one of its
columns to calling Mr. Raphall by such endear
ing Christian terms as “ unbelieving Jew,” “In
fidel,” &0., &o. The column in question was
headed “ The Unreality of Popular Religion.”
If there were many professedly Christian news
papers engaged in pablishing articles like tbe
one abJve named, wo are inclined to believe it
would go far toward turning tho entire gentile
world—if not into 11 unbelieving Jews, 11 at least
doubt whether such Christianity would do to go
to Heaven by.
Putnam Maqaxine. —We have received the
April number of this magazine from Gildenfen
ney & Co. and Miner & Co. It has an excellent
article on “American Oratory? Rufat) Choate,”
which will richly repay perusal. The magazine
has passed Into the hands of Messrs. Dix & Ed
wards, who will commenco publishing it after
this number.

collecting the oity taxes. We stated that, to C roix River—Lumber Trade—Minnesota, and
those who paid their taxes within the year an A - or(A We!t p a u r oad Pittsburgh Manufac
abatement of twelve per oont. would be made.
"We now- publish the bill, by whioh it will be
seen that the abatement is only a discount, at
the rate Of twelve percent, per annum, on the
money paid from tho time of payment to the end
of tho year. Thus, if a man pays his taxes on
the first of July, ho will bo allowod an abate
ment of Bix per cent, on the amount, for tho six
months yet to run of tho year. If ho payß on
the first of October, tho abatement will be only
three per oent, &o. This is quite different from
our first statement. The bill is of sufficient
importance to bo read generally by our citi
zens:

THE NEWS
There were two hundred and thirty-four
deaths in Philadelphia last week.
The Charleston papers announce the death of
James S. Rhett, a prominent South Carolina
politician, in that city on the 221.
Tbs Washington Daily Sentinel has expended
publication. It was of an snti-Administration
stripe.
The Pennsylvania Legislature have already
passed new Bank bills with a oapital of three
millions four hundred thousand dollars, and tho
end of them is not yet.
1 1 the seventeen districts composing tho Ter
ritory of Raneas, it is thought nine of thorn con
tain no slaves, and tho other eight are only re
puted to have one hundred and thirty-seven.
From these figures wo should judge that it is
not very probable the first legislature will be
pro-slavery.

The Berks and Schuylkill Journal contains an
account of an accident in a rolling mill at
Birdsborongh, Berks county, on the 20th, by
which two workmen lost their lives, aod two
others wero dangerously woaoded. It was
ceased by tho bursting of a fly wheel, and tbe
only wonder is that more were not killed, as the
mill was filled with workmen at the time. Tbe
lobb to the building and machinery is estimated
at about six thousand dollars.
A cariouß case was hoard on Saturday, in tho
City Court of Brooklyn, by Judge Culver. A

the claimant, but who set her free beforo the
birth of tho ohild. Tho mother and child have
boen'separatod for cloven years. Tho case was
held under advisoment.
Sunday In New Orleans
The recent Firemens’ parade in New Orleans,
took place on Sunday. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Bulletin says :
“ From an early hoar until nearly the olose of
day, the chief streets of the city were ocoupied
and usurped by ibis procession, and the air rang
with th? sounds of its tnusio, proclaimed from
nearly fifty bands; the side walks and every
open space were occupied by spectators of eith
er sez, of all ages aud conditions; bar-rooms
and places of Hko character, contributed to the
commerce and hilarity of the occasion, and as a
fitting close to the day, at evening the exoited
publio were furnished, at the Place d'Armes,
with a series of refined entertainments, such as
games io the ring, the grossed poles—Book ra
cing—the sending off of baloous, and other
things of that sort—balls and theatres winding
up the festival. To such scenes and to such so
lemnities the city was devoted. Those of our
citizens who remembered and sought to honor
the day as the Christian Sabbath, were either re
strained by the confusion from leaving their
dwellings, or if they had succeeded iu gaining
their respective places of worship, found their
devotious disturbed, and the services of the
Chnroh well nigh impracticable, because of the
noise without. It is true that the programme
of the performances with considerable toleration,
announced that no band of musio was to play
I within ft certain number of feet of any place of
worship. Those who visited Christ Church,
know how faithfully that portion of the bill was
performed. If this were a land of heathens and
of heathen temples, and the rites of sacrifice
were performed on numerous altars, tho musio
and display of yesterday had harmonized with
our religion, served to drown the ories of the
victims, and conceal the most revolting features
of the spectacle.”

George F. QiUmore, Editor of the Morning Post:
Dear Sib:—A short time since, through the
kind attention of a Pittsburgh friend, I received
a copy of your paper of 30th Januiry ult., con
taining a letter from yonr correspondent at Bt.
Paul,-over the signature of “St. Croix,’’ in which
the writer says:
“ The Bt, Croix river, the boundary lioe between Wiawm-
Pin and Minnesota, is a largo stream, but not navigable for
steamers.”
Persons naturally suppose that a correspon
dent is familiar with the subjects upon which be
writes; and, in this instanco, would reasonably
infer from the signature of your correspondent,
that he was most intimately acquainted with tho
St. Croix river and valley. Bat so great injus
tice is done to the section of the Territory known
as the St. Croix Valley, by the remarks quoted,
that I cannot, as a resident of that section, per-
mit it to pass unnotiocd.
A Pennsylvanian, resident for a short time in
this Torritory, cannot fail to observe a striking
similarity between the position the city of Phil
adelphia formorly held to the State of Pennsyl
vania, and that which St. Paul men seeks to ob
tain towards this Territory.
You are aware that in the estimation of Pbila
phians, until within a few years, their city in
cluded the civilized portion of tbo State, and we
westerners wero recognized only as outsiders;
snch a state of things St. Paul would bring
about here. That a correspondent from St.
Paul Bhould so grossly mistake the St. Croix riv
er, stems to me almost unaccountable ; surely
his travels in the territory must have been very
limited.
The city of Stillwater is sitnate at the bead of
Lake St. Croix, at a distance of thirty miles
from its mouth. This Lako is but an enlarge
ment and continuation of the St. Croix river,
aud takes its name of Lake, from the absence of
any considerable current ; if empties into the
Mississippi river at Pt. Douglas, thirty miles be
low St. Paul, running southerly. It is from
| three-fourths of a mile to a mile and a quarter
wide, and is navigable fo the largest class of
' steamboats plying on the Upper Mississippi.
! Tho boats which run from St. Louis and Gale
na to St. Paul, come also to Stillwater, and, very
j frequently, visit this point before going to St.
Paul. It sometimes happens, in seasons of low
, water, that boats caunot go up the Missisfippl
i to SL Paul, when they can, and do como here.
The river St. Croix, above this point, is smaller
in size, but is navigablo for a smaller class of
steamboats for a distance of thirty miles abuve.
to the falls of St. Croix ; and, during portions of
tho season of navigation, the boats which come
to this place and St. Paul could ascend the St.
Croix river to tho falls without difficulty, but at
present the trade is not sufficiently large to jus
tify them in doing so. Lake St. Croix is larger
than tho Mississippi river below tho mouth of
the Lake, and in beauty far exceeds it. There
are but few streams of water which present a
more beautiful appearance than Lake St. Croix.
Stillwater is the huflir.o-s centre of the valley,
and contains a population of nbont 1200. Its
basiness capital and business men have greatly
increased iu amount and Dumber within tho
| past year, and its future prospects arc flattering
iin tho highest degree There are erected bore
three steam and one water saw nliiU, having in
operation Ob upright saws and 6 lath saw-, cut
ting annually L’G 000,000 feet of lumber and
0,000,000 lath. Two of these mills will each
employ an active capital of about $lOO,OOO
Between the falls of St. Croix and the moo;h of
Lake St. Crc-ix. there are fifteen saw mills erect
ed, cutting 4d.G00.G00, feet of lumber, annually,
and 18 500,000 lath. There will be cut, during
tho present season, in the St. CrLtix valley, at a
reasonable estimate 00,000,000 feet cf logs.
Tho leading business of the valley is the lam
ber trade. The agricultural resources of the
valley have long remained comparatively uQdo
'Tetbped owing to the predominance of the lum
ber busiucss, but farming is annually receiving
more attention. Thera urn very many farms
opened in tun vicinity which yield Ur?ely. and
will compare favorably wuh other porticos of
tho territory. There is a vast region of iirr.bored
Wod along the St. Crcux nvir, übovo this place,
which is now attracting the ntteuti.-m xf immi
grants, that will make ono of the richest f .rmiog
regions in tho territory. The earner.-mall
and beautiful lakes, of clear, pure w-itcr, inter
spersed throughout the country, aud the rich
meadows of wild grass, afford fine opportunities
for stock raising ; while the neb, strong soil of
the forest will enable the husbandman to culti
vato the cereal grains and vegetables of every
character with gTeat profit. A market will al
ways bo found by tho farmer at bis door, as
largo amounts of graia are required by those
exclusively engaged in the lumber trade. Be
tween Stillwater and tbo Mississippi river tho
land is a beautiful prairie ; portions of it well
watered and sufficiently timbered for farming
purpooes. Almost tho entire prairio is takcu
up; a great portion of it uow under 6no culti
vation. Wheat, oats and corn yield remarkably
well, while potatoes ami nil the root vegetables
are of tho largest and finest I bavo ever seen.
Tho accounts given of the agricultural interests
of the territory are not, generally, exaggerated.
The Territorial road to Lako Superior passes
through Stillwater, aod all the travel to the
great northern inland sea comes to this point.
The Minnesota and North-West Railroad, about
which so muoh has fcecn said, will etriko Lake
St. Croix at Stillwater, by the terms of its
amended ohartcr, so .that tho nearest route to
Lake Superior will be by this place.
We have a weekly newspaper established here
somo copies of which are taken in your city.
Stillwater has remained comparatively ob
scure, only because the spirit of speculation
has found no nourishment here; her citizens have
beeQ making money in ‘heir legitimate business,
and bavo been satisfied to let it so rest ; but
there are natural advantages hero, which are
rapidly developing themselves and attracting
tbo attention of capitalists, and which will ere
long make ber one of tho principal business
points of tho North west, as she now is of the
Territory of Minnesota.
The basiness meu of tho valley arc of tho
most substantial character—men of intelligence
and good business opacity, who have by their
industry acquired n compotenao of wealth, and
are not led Into tho wild speculations which bo
often ruin meu of their cluss.
It affords me pleasure to find that tho glass
and iron and nails manufactured in our “Smoky
City," aro “A No. 1” throughout tho torritory;
and tho names of many of our glass manufac
turers aro on their wares in every business
house. A slight effort on the part of Pittsburgh
Glass and Iron merchants would secure for the
“Iron City” a largo and profitable trade through
out this entiro territory. Do they wish to em

To Moses F. Eato3, Esq.:
Dear Sir —I have examined Hopper’s Patent Dench
plane, and believe it to be a most excellent arilde for the
ofie for which it b intended, as a combination o>' plane and
acrater. .
It is particularly adapted to planing veneers, and it dees
not requi ■ e one-fourth tho time or labor of the old method;
and I have no doubt, when its properties become generally
known, but that it will entirely .upersede the former te
dious and laborious custom.
1 most cheerfully recommend It to all persons engaged In
the Cabinet business, as from my knowledge of it, there is
uothing as well fitted to gire a smooth and beautifal finish
to veneers as the Hopper Patent Bench Plane.
