Paul, baving made a more than usually quick trip, al thongh the distance by river is only 400 miles. ‘This Minnesota is a remarkable river in more than one Fespect. It empties into the Mississippi at a dis’ance of ‘More than two thousand miles from its mouth, and even there it makes no perceptible acceasion to the volume of the Father of Waterr, yet it is navigable for boats of the largest size fora distance that in the Old World would ‘make it a river of the first magnitude. But it is remark- able more than in anything clse for the tortuosity of its Course. There is scarce @ point above St. Peter where its bed can be followed by the eye for more than halfa mile ahead, often describing almost entire the periphery of a Girole, in one instance making a cireuit of fifteen miles ard retarning to within thirty paces of the starting Point. The accommodations for passengers on board the ‘Time and Tide, and particularly the cuisine department, Gre such as would not be tolerated on any Eastern boat, but here the steamers up the river are all crowded ‘with emigrants and travellers. The banks of the upper river are generally lined with a heavy growth of bass, cotton: ash and oak timber, extending back for a few ‘wiles, , tothe west, an immense stretches Prairie ‘away three hundred miles to the Missouri, destitute of ‘wood, except on the borders of the lakes and small water ‘The Indians have collected at the agency tothe number ‘of 2,500, for tbe purpoee of receiving their semt-annual yment from the government, and were yerterday regis- by famities, preparatory to that event, which will Bot come off yet for a week or ten days. ‘The different bands were arranged in sircles by the respective chiefs, all equat on the ground and as the agent passed round the bead of each family announced his name, ehich the agent deliderately repeated as he wrote it down, geno. rally mierecolecting some of the ten or fifteen syllables, procucing much merriment on the part of the "Todians’ Payments are made tothe families in proportion to ‘their numbers, and the unserupulous among them resort ecw expedients to senreene en cay et = regis- progeny, sometimes dressing up pappies and placit them on the backs of the squaws,jwnich have cond duly registered as children. These Indians have lost mone of their hereditary hatred for the Chippewas. About Boon, as tbe process of counting was going on, an ladian ‘was seen in the distance making peculiar motions with his arms, which they said meant that a Sloux bad been Killed by & Chippewa, and pointing across the river. The ‘cry passed in an instant from one band to another, and the ‘warriors rushed pell mell down the blutf tothe river, throwing aside their blankets and leggings as they went. Fifty of them jumped into the ferry boat, crossed over in the test pos ible state of excitement, and ran up the Diuf on the opporite side, but just then it was ascertained that it was a talse alarm. They returned quietly to the agency, and the counting went 02. 1 found the settlers everywhere up the river ira state of feverieh anxiety @@ the subject of the Indian troubles. ‘When the pews cameef the Spirit Lake massacre for a hundred miles around they all fled to For Ridgely @nd 3. Peter for protection, and the symptoms of a geverally hostile fecling among all the Jadians of tho ‘western border are daily becoming stronger. Quo Jarge band—ihe Yanktons—have taken lak-pa du-tali’s party under their protection, and the Iadians gene- am express admiration rather thao regret at his exploits. Ink-pa du tab himself and his followers are oa the books at tbis agency as having received the govern mont annuity of year, although they are generally represented as outlaws. The troops have all recently been withdrawn from Fort Ridgely, except one company under the command of Captain Bee, aud sent to Utah, taking the river route. The Indians say they left the fort Decause they were afraid to stay there, and that they ‘went down the river because they were afraid to travel ‘Boros the plains. These lower Indians now assembled at the agency, are geverally relied om as being friendly. ‘This principal chicf—Litie Crow—is not only the bravest ‘and most influential of them all, but be bas recently shown strong eymptoms Of disposition to become civilized.

There are more large stone and iron buildings going up this year than at any time previous, while the new frame houses contrasted for and to be completed in Oc- tober actual y reaches the enormous pumber of five thou- sand, Webave undoubtedly from 110,000 to 120,000 in- habitants, aud expect to have 160,000 in 1860, Consider- ing tbat we beve not this year had our usual share of immi- gration from the Fast, (thourands having gone to Kansas, ‘Minnesota and Iowa,) and that the season has best a re. markably backward one, both for shipping and going for- ward of grain, we bave abundant reason to be thankful. ‘The weather continues cold, however, and the failure of the corn crop, added to the loss of our winter wheaty would prove arerious drawback to our farmers, Gam. bling in produce will, in consequence, be accompanied with greater risk. Barring this very questionable species of enterprise, all our merchants, shippers, lumber dealers, and tradespeople of all descriptions, are doing an excellent ‘business. Our croakers, however, and those of the East- ern ‘owns, have cone usa vast deal of good by inducing nr fast mento make haste a little more slowly. Had there been no Jonas to propesy the ruin of Ninevah, there is no knowing what might have besome of it in those de- generate days. We wanted a breathing spell in business, enterprise and }, and we shall accept a little comfort Of that eort with Christian reeignation. In politics the breathing spell has already come, for, in epite of political parsons and editors, a visit and lecture from Gerrit Smith, and the occasional retura of a freedom thrieker from Kansas, men won't be exc.ed. As long Joba Wentworth said iu 1851, “ there isnothing in the nig- ger, and there is no use in jumping him any longer.’’ “xwaordinary circamstances, which have since passed into bistory, combined to invest the negro with new charms since 1862; but these, too, it is now apparent, are doomed to be short lived. The measures of the pational administration ta Washington and the condact of Governor Walker in Kanga‘ are unaseailable, because just and truly national. There is no capital to be made out of abusing Mr. Buchanan, who, if his calm. prudent, statesmanlike policy does not produce shouts of approbation, does more for his fame by diearming violent partizans and dangerous factioniets. Mr. Bucbanan never was a popular tribune, nor was he elected ag such; his high qualities challenge admiration and respect on reflection, and his administra- tion will furnish a better theme for the hisiorian, With bim the live of old Presicents will be continued and our national fame will take a fresh start. This the people knew and feel without being told so by professional politi- cians; Pence the geveral ease and quiet that pervade the public mind wh¢re, but a few months ago, all was excite- ment, and sectional vindictivences. If Mr. Bu. chapan were now a candidate for the Presidency, he would sweep the Northwesiern States like a whirlwind. Ge would carry Ulinois by 30,000 instead of 8,000 or 9,000 as at the last election. Like a mild, fruitful rain afver a long drovght, does his wise administration descend on the parched and torn groand in which but sectional weeds ‘and poisonous favatical plants were wont to taxe root. Every ove fcels its ealutary influence in the revival of hope and cor fideo, and in the disposition manifested by everybody to sustain the President in his great objects of domestic peace and national glory. Judge Douglas’ speech, lately delivered at Springdeld, in thie State, on the three leading topics of the day, viz:— Kansas, the Dred Scott decision and Utah—t foreshadowing, as it is believed, the viaws of the administration om these important subjects, and a support of the l’resident, is well received by the democracy. The Senator’s iptimate re lation with Gov. Walker (who, while here, was Judge Douglas’ guest, and was closeted with him for several hours) leads every one to euppose that their conception of the manver of quieting Kansas are identical, that tbe Sena- tor approves all the Governor has done or promised to do under instruciions from Washington, and that neither of them aims at anything olse than giving a fair and efficient su to the wise, just and conservative administration of Mr. Buchanan. ‘Judge Douglas’ laudable ambition and that of bis many friecds consists in seeing him the ad jer in the Senate; foreshadowing the views: » county, for the pur, of t) their Kirretied, brotser. and’ deciding Upon his gut of inno- cence, and as aflidavits were yesterd before Al- derman Steele, of this city, by t1e persons who saw the two in the same bed together on board the steamboat ‘tog ceitfulness, villany and wrong makes this rather hard task.

The Finances of the National Government. ‘The balance remaining in the Treasury on Monday, Jane 20, was telegraphed you so soon as the amount was ascer- tained by the government officers here, and before the detailed statement had been completed, e copy of which I now transmit, This shows a balance of $18,878,016 24, subject to draft on that day; and at the rate the revenue aas been flowing into the Treasury for several days past, we shall have a fearfal amount on hand by the meeting of the next Congress. As I mentioned in my despatch yes- terday there were upwards of half a million of dollars re- cetved into the Custom House of New York alone in two days, (July 24 and 3d,) when the receipts for the entire week previous were only $256,792 18 from all the Custom Houses of the country, It is estimated by the department that the receipts will now average ono anda half millions per week for some time, and that, too, without any extra- ordinary expense to meet—only the current expenses of the government. Holders of the public debt have coasod to send it in for redemption, and the most experienced mo neyed men of New York assure the government that there is no reason to apprehend any financial crisis in the East- ern cities.

They both favor our wreckers. Tho latter works evil for some one. Wrecks go on as usual. ‘The screw steamer Tauria, of one hundred and twenty tons, arrived from Liverpool on 20th instant and left the same day for Eleuthera, where she will take a cargo of pineapples for Liverpool. The Eleatherans, for the most part, have never seen a steamer, and when they do see the Tauria silently approaching without sails they will wonder what “‘ monstrum honendum” is coming to invade their shores, This is an experiment in the frait trade, and while I think the prajestors of the scheme deserve our thanks for their enterprise I wish them every success. By the by, another experiment is being tried at Eleu- thera. An English vessel lately arrived there fora cargo of prunes, having @ quantity of tin cases in which to pack the fruit, which cases are to be hermetically sealed. Our fruit trade ia steadily increasing, and many who once scoffed ai the idea of growing oranges, &c., are be ginning to reap the benefit of their culture. The salt crops also bid fair. The latest intelligence from Iosgua informs us of the success of the cultivators of this staple, a large quantity having been raked.
