That part of the river on the north side of the island, is about two hundred and twenty yards in width. There is a very fine, smooth section of rocks to the water, about 90 feet high. I should think the Fall would not average more than 60 feet high. The immense slabs which have fallen from the limestone beds at the top, are covered with products, mixed with spirifers and cardia. On the south side of the river, the line of the Falls measures about 450 yards to the island. It is a wild rocky, scene, and to the geologist, is exceedingly interesting, finding here the uninterrupted continuation, for one thousand miles, of the carboniferous limestone, with its characteristic fossils, at the south side of the falls."

The inhabitants of St. Anthony are as industrious, enterprising people, mostly from Maine, their motto - onward. If I were allowed to judge, from my short residence among them, I should say they were extremely hospitable and kind; caring infinitely more for the true man than for those made by the tailors. All accord to Franklin Steele, Esq., the credit of being the most enterprising citizen of this place. He is to St. Anthony, what H. M. Rice, Esq. is to St. Paul. Mr. S. is naturally a democrat. But being the brother-in-law of our present Representative in Congress, he must for the nonce doff'd his old party and gone the "People's ticket." I am told, however, he is heartily tired of this; and I think, ere long I shall have the satisfaction of informing your readers that he has returned to his first love. Capt. John Rollins, John H. Gairns, G. W. North, Isaac Atwater, Esq., together with Jno. G. Lennow, Esq., may be reckoned among the prominent men of St. Anthony.

Next comes Stillwater; which is located some twenty miles from St. Paul; and is quite a lively little village of eight hundred inhabitants. For its size it has a good business going on there which is yearly increasing. Among its prominent men are Maj. Van Vorhes, Regester of Land office, Jos. Le Duke, formerly of Ohio, Jonathan McKurich, Michael E. Ames, Esq., and Jesse Taylor. This place offers good inducements to the mechanic.

Mendota, five miles from St. Paul, is the name of a trading port at the junction of the Mississippi and St. Peters rivers; and will make a point of importance one day. It is on the Military Reserve, and of course, until that is raised will not improve. Here is the residence of Hon. H. M. Sibley, our Delegate in Congress; Maj. N. McLean, formerly of Ohio, (who by the bye, is a brother of Hon. John McLean, of your State,) Sioux Indian Agent; and as the Fort-Snelling is located here, this village is the residence of F. Steele, Esq.; elsewhere mentioned in this epistle; who is Sutller of this station. Although I do not like the political position Mr. Sibley now, occupies - it being that of neither whig or democrat, but hermaphroditic, or either to suit circumstances - yet I believe he has performed his trust, in Congress, as well as any man, that is not a party man could do. It is to be regretted - as he claims to be "a Jefferson Democrat," that he opposes the drawing of party lines - that he is - though, perhaps, unintentionally playing into the hands of the whigs. It is true the Democracy did not use him as they should have done in 1849; when they imported Col. A. M. Mitchell, here; who ever has been a rabid whig; and run him against Sibley for Delegate. Had I been here I should certainly have gone for Mr. S. however much he disliked the course his party, or a portion of them took in this matter, I think if he is at least a democrat, he would not be "bluff'd" not in that way; and I think when certain would-be leaders - who have more zeal than sense, - treat him with that consideration he is entitled to, he will return to the fold. In the formation of a party, composed of the elements, ours here is from all sections of the country - my motto is conciliation - to attract and draw to our ranks, rather than by coldness, and the exercise of an arbitrary disposition, repel and drive away those who have it in their power to be of much service.

But, for fear of wearying your patience I will hasten to a close. Before I do so however, permit me to hope that the members of Congress from Ohio, will unanimously lend their aid to the passage of Senator Douglas' Bill for the raising of the Military Reserve of Fort-Snelling. The bill, as introduced meets the sanction of our entire population, and should pass in that shape.

In my next, I will endeavor to point out the advantages this territory presents to persons wishing to "travel out West," - Until then farewell.

Letters from Minnesota---No. 2.

BY ROLANDO.

Correspondence of the Ohio Union.

St. Anthony, May 9, 1852.

Not wishing longer to intrude on your patience, and that of your readers, my dear Knapp, I closed my last epistle rather abruptly ; and lest that letter reaches Minnesota, and some of my friends think I have made invidious distinctions between that truly, lovely and advantageously located spot, All Saints, and other localities in Minnesota, I have resolved to jot down my opinion of the various towns in the territory ; so that persons desirous of *authentic* information in regard to this region can have it, by subscribing for your paper. For I have not yet written, nor do I intend to write a word in praise of Minnesota that will not bear the strictest scrutiny. - My letters may therefore be *believed*.

First then, is St. Paul, the Capitol of the territory, and whose population is 3000; which nature has lavished her choicest blessings in the richest profusion; and art is now improving these, as fast as possible. The town since I have lived in Minnesota, has more than doubled itself in population; and when the holders of property learn to ask a reasonable price for their lots this place will, like magic, grow into one of the most important commercial points on the Mississippi. Among its most prominent citizens, I will now only mention Henry M. Rice, Esq., Charles H. Oakes, Esq., Dr. Borup, C. S. Milles, Esq., formerly of Cleveland, and R. R. Nelson, Esq., son of Chief Justice Nelson, of New York. To the exertions of Mr. Rice, mainly, has St. Paul attained her present position. Free-hearted and enterprising, has been the means of raising many whom misfortune had cast down; and his disinterestedness has reared for him a monument; more enduring than brass, in the hearts of the masses. A radical democrat, he is a terror to monopolists, and it is this fact that has made the Fur Company, with its satellites pursue him with such unholy ferocity. His character has been assailed - his credit attacked, and his honesty called in question ; yet has he withstood all ; and is now in the zenith of his triumph over mercenary enemies. Messrs. Oakes and Bowp, are brothers-in-law, the latter *the head* of the Fur Company, against the former, the voice of defamation and calumny, dare not be raised - he is respected by all. Being heavy capitalists and much interested therein, these gentle men have built up what is known as the "lower town," and they have done much to enhance the importance of the capital. They are *whigs*, or people's men," Mr. C. H. Milles, is a young lawyer of good qualifications, and is destined at no distant day to loom out brilliantly in his profession. - Last, though *by no means the least important* in my list comes R. R. Nelson, Esq., of whom I fear to speak, for I love him as a brother. His very *faults* in my eyes - if fault she has, seem virtues. Disinterested, honorable and high minded, he scorns the low intriguings of the world, and would prefer retirement, in virtue ; to doing a dishonorable act to attain eminence. He is now one of the first lawyers of the territory. A democrat, from an in bred sense of correctness of the principles of the party ; he has now the regard of all sound democrats - of all but the mercenary and time-serving; and when Minnesota shall become a State, I predict Mr. Nelson, will be one of her first United States Senators. So much for St. Paul.

Next in importance is St. Anthony, which town is eight miles from St. Paul, and contains 1500 inhabitants, and is destined to be to Minnesota, in conjunction with All Saints - what Lowell is to Massachusetis ; and I am rejoiced to be able to inform your readers that the cloud which has for the past two years, obscured the prosperity of this place has at last been removed, and its sun is now glowing forth in all its wonted warmth and beauty. Until within a few days past, a warrantee Deed could not be given purchasers of property on account of a difficulty between one of the proprietors of the town, Mr. Taylor, and the balance of them, Mr. Steele, et al ; but the last come to terms - sold out his interest and all is now going on *charmingly*.

The Falls of St. Anthony, the only Falls in the whole length of the Mississippi, are some seven miles above the junction of the Mississippi and St. Peter's rivers. The Falls are in 44° 30' north latitude.

An island about 450 yards long divides the Mississippi into two parts at the Falls of St. Anthony, which have a very irregular outline, owing to the soft sandstone being washed out unequally in places, and the superincumbent strata of limestone falling down in large blocks ; these are piled up in great quantities on the bed of the river immediately at the foot of the Falls.
