It will be remembered that the prisoner was charged on the last occasion under the 20th section of the act with having unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm, the punishment under which was, as e misdemeanour, three years' penal servitude. On mature consideration Mr, Powell, the clerk to the magistrates, considered it advisable to alter the charge to that made in the 11th section, which made the offence committed a felony, and the penalty pen a l servitude for ten years. The magistrates present were Mr. J. C. Maule (chair man), the Rev. J. Tarver, the Rev. C. S. Lowndes, and Mr. R. W. Selby Lowndes. Mr. Charles J. Rawlinge, solicitor, attended on behalf of Messrs. M'Lean and Worland; Mr. Jones appeared, as on the former occasion, for the prisoner, who was brcvght up as before by Mr. Superintendent Thomas Breary, from Fenny Stratford, where he has been since the remand on Wednesday week. Mr. Rawlings said he appeared before the bench to pro secute the charge against the prisoner inthedock, instructed by Mr. Peter M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. as it was understood that the railway authcrities did not intend to in terfere in any way or take any steps whatever in the matter, holding it as not being an affair in which the company was concerned. Mr. Peter M'Lean, examined by. Mr. Rawlings, said—l keep the Victoria Taveil l West Ham, Essex, and am also 'an e:agineet: 4 l nave kndatii`l4r.Worland about ten, years.

I think I had hpld of the:pri soner when he made the plunge at Mr. Worland. (The knife was prdduced by Orpen, the railway policeman. It:' was an ordinary double-bladed pocket-knife, the large blade' of which was the one with which the injuries were inflicted.) I had hold of the prisoner by the arra, but he kept " job bing" at Mr. Worland, as I could only lay hold-of his sleeve, and he had almost the free use of his wrist. As the • prisoner was making the attempt to stab me first, I said— " good God, men, what are you going to do'with thi3 knife ?" While I had hold of the'knife the prisoner cut my right hand' very severely. We /got ,hiro down, on the floor of the carriage. Mr. Worland was too faint to give me much assistance ; but he said, " I shall sink under this. You stick to him, tlac." After struggling for nearly' half an hour, we got' him on the floor, and I held him till we gpt to-.Canadew road station, where Orpen, the railway police man, took the knife from him. While were were struggling nhe sliouted out several times " Jesus will fight for rte," "Murder," "Help," and we all 'shouted and screamed in, the hope of attracting attention, but without avail. The prisoner was removed, and the knife taken from him. The' Ifloer'of the carriage and the back df the compartment 'were' catered with blood. There Was more than enough blood to till a hat. Mr. Worland fainted from exhaustion, and was, taken to the Royal George Hotel , t T uston-square. "Theta' since been attended by Dr. Bain. ' ' ' The witness was cross-examined by Mr. jonero who put numerous questions, with a view. to spow_ that the conduct of Mr. Worland and the witness might have led the prisoner to:think that they intended' re=do' something towards 14w, but M T . trl 'Lean, with some vehemence,,i3ard, after replying in the negative to many interrogatories:''` Pray, sir,'do not agitate me further with suchutter nonsense,'land the Bench inlet:losing, the zross-examination. stopped-, Mr. Jas. Worland, examined by Mr. Rawlings, confirmed the evidence of Mr. I\l'Lean, and 'stated in adeiticn that after the prisoner stabbed him he (Mr.Worlanct) kicked the prisoner, to overcome him if possible. The witness fell on tli.e platform, after getting out of the carriage, being weak from loss of blood. Mrs. Maria Eaton, examined by Mr. Rawlings, said tha! Las 78 years of age, and lived at 31, Herbert-street, mit64 She kft Liverpool on, the 17th inst. in the same carriage with the - hist two 'witnesses. She had a small dog with her. She saw three gentlemen in the carriage, and after the train passed Bletchley she suddenly looked up, being aroused by a noise, and saw the three struggling violently. The prisoner Lyons had a knife in his hands. She said, "For God's sake, what's the matter? Give me that knife." The prisoner atruck Mr. Worland on the temple, and afterwards made several attempts to stab both the others, exclaiming, as if invoking, " Jesus, Jesus I " but what else he said she could not hear. She partialty fainted, and when recovered she found they had got the prisoner down, and she bound up Mr. Worland's forehead with three handkerchiefs and her apron. She wanted to get the knife away from the prisoner, and if she had got it she would have thrown it away at once. She would have thrown herself out of the carriage to escape. John Orpen, the railway company's constable, examined by Mr. Rawlings, stated that he received the prisoner into his custody, charged with attempting to murder Mr. Peter M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. The prisoner said that what he had done was in self-defence, for he thought the two gentlemen in the carriage were going to make an attack upon his life. Dr. William Bain, of Poplar deposed to the character of the wounds inflicted upon Mr. Worland, and that there was great danger for three or four days. He also attended Mr. M'Lean for the wounds on his hand, which might have been very dangerous. Inspector Cox produced the following letters, which he had received upon the subject-matter of the charge : " July 20. " Sir, —Seeing an account in to-day's paper of an assault committed by a schoolmaster named Lyons recalls to my recollection a man of that name who was usher at the school I was at some 12 years ago. His actions then were so pe culiar he was generally considered mad, and was dismissed for an assault on a boy who he fancied was speaking of him. The man I refer to is tall and thin, given to speak to him self, and in the habit of uttering incoherent words. " Yours, &c., " J. DENNISTON, "Audit-office, King's-cross Station.

On the Saturday afternoons he has been Dun dalk and its neighbourhood he is well known, and has o p f o ß pu a l in ar Pa l r e k c ' turer in been most successful. Although struggling with diffi culties, hie untiring industry and ingenuity have fur nished him with opportunities for scientific purposes, the construction of which at once prove him to be no ordinary man, and yet withal I have invariably found him most modest, unassuming, and gentle. Possessed of qualities of head and heart calculated to fit him for a higher position in life than that of a national schoolmaster, he was recom mended to raise his social status by the acquisition of a degree in science,and having been assisted in a pecuniary way he left Dundalk for London on the evening of the 16th with the intention of presenting himself at an examination at Bur lington House, to be held the following week.

The crew of the pilot-boat, however, determined not to leave them, and stood off and on all night until the weather bad some what moderated, when they succeeded with great, difficulty in snatching the six men from an inevita ble death, The Carmathen Bay life-boat of the insti tution bad put off with tb e view of rendering assist ance to the French lugger, Jean P.

The expense of this service, amounting to £5 45., was paid by the institution. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of some of the lifeboats of the institution, and to those of shoreboats for either rescuing shipwrecked crews or putting off with that view. It was reported that the lifeboats of the in stitution had, during the seven months of the present year, saved 123 shipwrecked persons, in addition to assisting several vessels into port. The crews of shoreboats to whom the institution voted pecuniary rewards had also saved 216 lives, making altogether a total of 339 lives saved daring the present year. For these joint services £648 18s. 2d. had been granted by the institution. It has also, during the same period, paid the sum of £7,055 9s. ld. on various lifeboat establishments. The committee earn a ppeal to the public for conti nue d support to enableestly them to maintain th e l arge fleet of life boats of the institution, now numbering 125, in a state of efficiency. It was also reported that Mr. R. W. Hollon and Mrs. Hollon, of Spellow Park, bad presented to the institution the cost of a new lifeboat, to be stationed at Filey, on the Yorkshire coast. The institution bad recently sent three new lifeboats to the coast, one to be stationed at Tenby, another at Lyth am, Lancashire, and the third at Bude Haven, Cornwall. The cost of these lifeboats tied been presented to the society by benevolent persons, and the several railway companies bad given the boats a free conveyance over their lines to their respective destinations' Messrs. Forrestt re ported that th e G overnment of Mecklenburg bad ordered them to build a lifeboat on the plan of the institution. The trustees of the late Mrs. Adams, widow of the late Mr. Adams, naval and military outfitter, Plymouth, had kindly remitted contribu tions amounting to £lOO to the institution. Pa' ments, amounting to £2,850, having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings ter minated. vry ••„. • , TREASURE TROVE I .—A lucky " find" is thus re corded in the recently published " Life of Caxton," written by William Blades :—ln the summer of 1858, I embraced an opportunity of inspecting the old library in the Grammar School attached to the Abbey of St. Alban's. I found a few valuable books, all contained (and I believe are at the present time) in an old deal cupboard, upon which the leakage from the roof had dripped apparently for years. It must have been long since any one had touched a book there, and the amount of dust and decay was certainly enough to deter even a bibliomaniac from so doing. After ext mining a few interesting books. I pulled out one which was lying flat upon the top of others. It was in a most de plorable state, covered thickly with a damp, sticky duet, and with a considerable portion of the back rotted away by wet. The white decay fell in lumps on the floor as the un appreciated volume was opened. It proved to be Geoffrey Chaucer's English translation of " Boecius de Consolations Philosophise," printed by Caxton, in the original binding, as issued from Caxton's workshop, and uncut ! ! On ex amining the amount of damage it had sustainded, als I found that the wet, which bad inju red the book, hao, by separating the layers of paper of w hich the cove rseral were composed, revealed the interesting fact that sev g fra ments, on which Caxton' s t y pes appeared, hid been used in their manufacture. After vexatious opposition and repeated delays the acting trustees were induced to allow the book,. prized hig hl y , to be deposited in the care w hi c h they now of Mr. J. Winter Jones, of the British Museum, for the purpose of rebinding. On dissecting the covers they were found to be composed entirely of waste sheets from Caxton's tw o or three be in g p rinted on one onl y . The two press, covers yielded no less than fifty-six half-sheets of pz-inted. paper , proving the existence of three uorks from C iTix t cl v s press quite unknown before. :, ua;t:~y11a? `'~` . d. . f • ~~.. i,'• n ~t . , . c Y~.; .: }~~ I .. ii - - , ,:.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.. -The weakness, the folly, and the credu lity of mankind are exemplified in our courts of law with a boldness which fiction dares not emulate. A column of Divorce Court cases reveals vices which would be held to outrage all probebility if hazarded in a three-volume novel; the romance of the Run pelt case seems equally beyond the possibi!i y of an actual occurrence, whether we believe or disbelieve the story of the convict ; and now this cause celebre in the Bankruptcy Court, whereof Colonel Waugh is the hero, comes to tea our capacity of belief in the impudence of an adventurer, and in the blind . credulity . of his dupes. If a manewould prey upon his fellows, audacity seems to be the only requisite for a temporary success. Colonel Waugh comes before the Bankruptcy Court, not as a public wrong doer, but as an unfortunate man worthy of all cons =aeration. He tells us at every turn of the argu ment that he is a rough, honest old soldier, who has spent 23 years of his life in the service of his country. He is so weak in his eyes that it would be a cruel persecution to imprison him ; and he is able to get up a burst of virtuous indignation at any suggestion that he and his fellow directors in the Londoa and Eastern Bank were not " the most honest men in the world." If he keeps up the representation long enough, and if day after day his .counsel shall be allowed to dwell upon his personal ailments and his military services, Colonel Waugh will soon get a little public of commiserators. It is eight years since he dazzled the town with his pomps and his splendour. It is seven years since the ears of the nation were filled with the wail of the victims who were being swallowed up in the little social. earthquake-„,whicpt d e estroyed so many humble families. 'll we could resuscitate the details of those miseries, if we could follow the fortunes of the victims, and contrast the present position of scores of men and women and children with what it might have been if' Colonel Waugh had lived upon his moderate competency and hed never got access to the funds of the London and Eastern Band, public opinion would still go bard against Colonel Waugh. Bat time has flown by ; the victims have all been swept away; death and ruin and inso:vency have rolled over them, and they are gone down to the bottom of the social scale, out of sight and out of hearing. The only residuum of this great evil is the man who was the chief agent in it; and he comes before us claiming our pity, and even remonstrating against in defence He evi dently has the same anoacity defence which he showed in his adventure, and there are fools enough in the world, although of anotheer class, to make a party against punishing .him, just as there were fools enough to believe in his story of untold millions lying hid in the clay of Branksea Island. We laugh at the absurdity of the Monto Christo romance, and yet we find ourselves gravely investigating the in. cidents of this Branksea Island reality. A retired Colonel, with an income of £4OO a-year, buys a little island upon the coast of Dursetshire. Fifteen thousand pounds was the price,. and, of course, he had not the money to n pay for it, but so plausible was the Colonel , or tto silly were the people with whom he came in contact, that in a short time he hod invested £30,000 in the island, and bad raised about the same sum in mortgage upon it. This seems to have been the state of affairs when he in troduced himself to -the- managing director of the London and Eastern Bank. He went there to raise more money upon [some property ,belonging to hie sister, and he took the. occasion to launch his story of the wonderful wealth that lay bid in the clay of Branksea Island. He was too wise to talk of hidden treasures. Boxes ofdiamonas and chests of ingofs are left now to more' professional romancers ; your practical men take .a . bolder flight and assert that the whole soil is a treasure. Here was an " old soldier," whose polseasion was a deposit a clay mortgaged to double its worth, persuading a banker that this clay was a security for £70,000 and was of the value of untold million./ A piece of paper purporting to be a reporteaer valuation, showing how all this island might .be made into alum, and calculating its value at about £8 per ton, was sufficient to induce the managing director to lend £50,000 upon this pre , cioue clay. We suppose we must believe that this statement is correct. There is no proof , that this was a conspiracy between Stephen and Waugh from the first, and therefore we have no right to as sume it from the mere improbability of the alterna tive story. But, if that story be true, how strange a truth it is! The next step is stranger still, if pos sible. Upon the strength of this very indebtedness Colonel Waugh becomes a director of the bank from which he had borrowed. As a director he seems to have done pretty much as he liked, and he went on " borrowing" till the amount reached £ll4 000. It was only £114,000. Colonel Waugh complains bitterly that be has been injuriously put down as a debtor to the bank to the extent of /240,000, and he evidently thinks that he has been by this cheated out of £126,000. As we read his own statement, however, it would appear that he raised £114,000 and £30,000 upon a mud bank for which he gave £15,000. What became of all this money ? There is a shell of an unfinished castle and some pottery works cn Branksea Island, and there is a fading tradition of ostentatious banquets in London. There is, moreover, an estimate for the formation of a working establishment, which was to cost £5,000, and a paper of most audacious calculations concern ins 30,006,000 tons of " marketable clay," worth £40,000,000 sterling. This is all we have to show for £144,000 in hard cash. The flight of the co directors when the extent of the old soldier's bor rowings became known, the shifts, contrivances, and broken promises, the confident assurances, and the ultimate smash, are all too necessary a sequence to the antecedent facts to be dwelt upon. The great fact notable in the history of human credulity is ex travagant fl as hy style, was able to raise £ 144,000 that a man of no g reat means, but living in an upon a story that he was able to convert clay into alum, to the extent of a profit of £40,000,000. It the people who suffered were the people who were cajoled by this impossible nonsense, and none others, we might be inclined to say that n o laws can protect such folly as this, and we . might be satisfied to see suc h delusi o ns work their natural result. But the hundreds whom the London and Eastern Bank ruined h ad no choice or voice in this matter. They did not know that their managing.dn rector was lending their money upon thls.prom. long adventure; they aid not know that their d . irecto was helping himself to their mone y upon this won r derful security ; they beli eved that their business was being conducted as banking business generally is conducted. When they awoke to ruin, end were told that they were liable to their uttermost shil ling, because Branksea Island clay was not worth £8 a ton, they had, probably, never heard of Brank sea Island, and had no notion that their fortunes had ever depended upon any so singular an impro bability. This is not a fair risk. Take it in the most favourable light ; let us strive to believe that this man was his own dupe as well as the deceiver of others ; still the manner in which he obtained this money was as bad as bad can be. The moral wrong produced was as great as that effected by Redpath or Roupell; and if the law looks more lightly upon it, and has no name for it among the catalogue of criminal offences, more sham e to our criminal law. Perhaps if there were a public pro secutor some section of our Criminal Code might be found to have a bearing upon such acts as tt ese, for in nal character ha , the majority of cases where the public cry out against . the impunity of wrongdoers it is not the law which is in fault, but the administration of the done to prevent such law. Let it be, however, that nothing of a crimi herenecurred.

That those operations will prove successful there is however, no reason to believe. Although Lee experienced heavy losses at Gettysburg, hie Opponent suffered po less severely,' and, actin g on the defensive, the Confederates will doubtless be as well able as hitherto to oppose the advance of the grand army of the North. The marked diein- elination whico l‘leade has shown to tread on the heels of the retreating Confederates betokens a want of confidence in his own strength which is probably not without excuse, although his forces were sufficiently numerous to bold a strong defen sive position on their own soil against the repeated assaults of the Southern army. Not being either a Pope or a Hooker, he does not jump at the con clusion that, when carrying war into an enemy's country, he would necessarily prove invincible. Unless considerably reinforced; it will not be pos sible for the Federal general to do more than threaten the Confederate capital. So long as he occupies a position either Q1:1 the left bank of the Rappahannock or elsewhere in' the vicinity of Richmond, so long the Confederate Government will be obliged to maintain their finest army in a state of comparative idleness. But of reinforcements there is no prospect; It has be,o) stated to be the intention of the Government at Washington to en force the conscription notwithstanding the recent riots. Whatever may be the projects of the Admi nistration, there can be no doubt that the draught will never be assented to. by the Northern popula tion. The Federal Cabinet may threaten to enforce it, but they do not possess the means. Mr. Lin• coin might possibly wish to convert New York into a Warsaw, but in order to do so he would be obliged to occupy it with a numerous army. New York is, however, only one of a number of cities in every one of which the inhabitants have, with more or less vehemence, announced their refusal to be dragged from their homes to fill the ranks of the Federal army. If Mr. Lincoln would enforce the conscrip tion he must employ his armies in carrying into effect the orders of his provost marshals.

It would be premature as yet to express an opinion of the probable issue; but although the operations of the attacking force have been up to the present tolerably successful, it is not likely that Charleston will prove to be the asy prize which the Northern generals anticipate. But supposing, like New Orleans, it should suc cumb. What then ? From the capture of the Crescent City the North, independently of the plunder of the inhabitants, derived no material advantage. The seizure of Charleston, beyond re lieving a portion of the Federal fleet from the necessity of, blockading that port, would not place the Government at Washington in a superior posi tion. In fact, however we regard the successes of the North, whether past or future, it is equally impossible to connect them with the realisation of the object for which the war is prosecuted. Assum ing that the Southern population continue averse from an amalgamation with the inhabitants of the Free States, neither the command of the Mississippi nor the capture of the principal cities in the Confe deracy will place the latter in such a position as to enable them to dictate to the former the conditions of their political existence. If the F. deral Govern ment have now, at the close of more than two years' hard fighting, begun to conquer, they will find themselves equally obliged to retain forcible posses sion of their conquests. The latter task, however, in the present temper of the Northern population, will be found no less difficult than the former. .. :. The Late Sir Cresswell Cresswell. (From the Times.) The shock to the sy stem ca used by an accident has deprived us of one of the best and perhaps altogether the most valuable of our Judges. Sir Cresswell Creswell died yesterday morning. He was an old man, for, as he took his degree at Cam- bridge in 1814, he must in all probability have bee in his seventieth year. Time, however, had no impaired the v'gour of his intellect. He was in the full enjoyment of his j u di c i a l powers; his memory was as good, his discrimination as prompt, his learning as ready, and his nerve es strong as iv his earlier years wheu battling at the Bar. But for this miserable occurrence of a broken-down carriage and a frightened pair of horses he might, notwith standing that he appears to have had a latent disease lurking in his frame, have gone on for years doing good service to his country, and finding his best enjoyment in the discharge of his duties. _ . Sir dresswell Cresswell's career has been simply that of a hardworking lawyer. In later years he appeared to be one of those who seem to love work for its own sake, and such men always make their way at the English Bar. This, however, may have been an acquired habit. Being only the fourth son of a gentlemen of good estate, perhaps it was in the first instance a necessity to him to apply with assiduity to his profession. It is certain that after his call in 1819 the attorneys found out a capacity which the Cambridge examiners had failed to dis cover. That he drudged away in Westminster hall the long series of Barnewall and Cresswell's reports will testify. He joined the Northern Circuit at a time when Brougham and Scarlett governed the revels of the Grand Court, and divided the business of serious litigation. He fought his way along through the dust in which these two gladiators were always enveloped; and at last when the heroes were taken up into the sedes discretce piorum, and no longer vexed the Northern Circuit, unless asjudges, Cresswell and Alexander succeeded to their places. The leader ship of the Northern Circuit was in those days some thing to straggle for and something to retain. It took a strong man to hold his own there. Cresswell was not a Brougham, perhaps be was not in tact and power of persuasion a Scarlett, but he was strong enough to seize up. - o the leadership of the Northern Circuit, and to hold it easily against all comers. He got his silk gown in 1834, and from that year ti:l 1842 he worked very hard, and must have made much money. Most men in suc.h a position wouki have looked to the House of Commons and to the high prizes of his profession, all of which seemed to be within his reach. Cresswell wad elected. for Liverpool in 1837, and retained his seat until he was raised to the Bench. He was not, howe ver, a very ardent politician, nor was be particularly suc aa cessful in the Hou.Ae ot Commons. His position w made before he was a member of Parliamfaa t, and his seat for Liverpool neither advanced nor retarded him in his career. When Mr. Littledale was asked by the Patronage Secretary of the Treasury what his poiitics were he replied that he was a special pleader. Creeswell could not have given t his answer, but when he was made one of the Justices of the Queen's Bench in 1842 it was because he was a sound lawyer, and certainly not because be was a member for Liverpool. He fully answered all expectations formed of him as a lawyer. He was what is called a " strong" judge. That is to say, he was not only a learned judge, but. a man who :could have his own way. He had suf ficient confidence in himself, a sufficient contempt for his audience, and a sufficient power of saying very disagreeable truths at proper times to keep every one in awe of bim. It is a great temptation to have this power in that position, and perhaps Sir Cresswell' Cresswell abused it as little as it is in human nature to do. The work by which, however, Sir Cresswell Cresswell will be remembered—and the only work by which he will be remembered—is the creation of the Divorce Court. Sir Cresswell Cresswell was appointed to preside here in January, 1858. It was an experiment distrusted at the time by the public, and most dangerous to the reputation of the man wian should first undertake it. Sir Cresswell Cress well's confidence in himself allowed him to accept it, and, as that self-confidence was fortunately in his case well founded, it enabled him to carry it Ilire)dik\l*tin cOrttals R wip g.,t4t tAl t b.piv9rco Ciotiq haS.beeth a skeet sufcess.

(Frpn, the Lancet) At seven minutes . te Vph the evening of Wednesday the distinguished Judge 4 ofqho Ccinit'or Probate and DiVoreO, Sir Cresswell Cresswell, suddenly expired.

Properly devi sed splints havingf:tneti:acljustAia;Sirt was able, with assistance, to shift himself from the bed to a couch, and had done so in the course of Wednesday. As he was being lifted in the evening from the couch again to the bed, with the assistance of his brother, the Rev. Oswald Cresswell, he complained of feeling faint, asked for wine, and almost immdiately died. He had always considered himself a specially healthy man,and was mentioning shortly after his accident that he had never had a day's illness,and had never consulted a physician since he left the school. He had lately become somewhat suddenly corpulent, but it was never suspected, by himself or any other person, that the hand of disease had seized him so firmly though silently. The post martens inspection was performed at 7 p.m. o n Thursday by Mr. Charles Hawkins, Mr. James Lane, and Dr. Baber. The examination of the chest showed that the heart was the sole seat of disease. It was loaded with fat, the walls of the ventricular cavities were thin and weak, and the muscular fibres pale; the valves were competent. Throughout the rest of the body the organs were found in a healthy condition, although in parts much loaded with fat. On examining the knee joint some blood was found effused between the fractured surfaces of the bone ; there was no inflammation, irritation, or effusion in the interior of the joint, but repair was going on satisfactorily. The cause of death was doubtless severe syncope, fatal because occurring in a weak heart fattily degenerated. A circumstance occurred in connection with the accident which, although by no means exceptional, deserves to be mentioned, as illustrating the admirable spirit in which our hospitals are administered, and the firmness and self-devo tion with which the members of the medical profession per form their duties to the poor in those establishments. Sir Cresswell was overthrown within sight of St. George's Hospital, and a hasty message was sent there, stating that an accident had occurred to the distinguished Judge, and requesting that the house surgeon might accompany him to his home. The house surgeon, however, was then en gaged in urgent duties of attendance upon poorer sufferers, and felt unable to leave his post. Other skilled attendance was immediately at hand. Such incidents are not rare, and we cannot but think that they reflect honour on our profes sion and deserve to be widely known. • t, / /: SCALP HUNTING IN MINNESOTA.. General Pope is again making himself noto►ions, and Butler must look to his laurels. Governor Ramsay, in hit department, has organised a volun teer corps to serve against the Indians. In the order directing the organisation occurs the follow- ing : " A compensation of 25 dollars will also be given to anybody for each scalp of a male Sioux, delivered at this (the adjutant general's) office." On the 7th of July, the sheriff of M'Leod county received 25 dollars for the scalp of a Sioux warrior, killed on the 4th July, near the town of Hutchin son. The Indian shot was one of a party of four teen, and when killed was engaged in picking berries. The winner of the first bounty, Harper by name, though pursued by the remaining Indians, made his escape, obtained the aid of his neighbours, returned, and then secared the indi. , putable evidence of State indebtedness. The Chicago times publishes a dispatch from St. Paul, Minnesota, which thus refers to the affair : _ . " An order from the adjutant general's office is issued, calling for scours to volunteer for 60 days, in squads of not less than five, to scour the big woods and kill Indians wherever they can find them, with out regard to red tape or tactics. The order say:: —' A compensation of 25 dollars will be giv en t o any person for each scalp of a male Sioux de liv ered trday,s at this office.'
