HIF.RREEps OF THE RED RIVER OF THE
NoRrH.-The Minnesota Register, published at ST.
Paul's. gives an account of the half-breeds about
Red River, who desire to settle in the limits of the
United States:
Within the limits of the territories of the Hudson
Bay Company there resides class of men, who,
ground down by the tyranny of that huge monopoly.
seek 10 place themselves under the protection oil ihe
United States. These men are known as the Red
River Half breeds. They are, generally speaking,
of mixed Indian and English, Scotch or French
blood Brought up from earliest youth to feel that
their subsistence will depend upon their skill as
horsemen and hunters, they accustom themselves to
every exercise and privation which can tend to
harden their muscles, and prepare them for their
vocation. As matter of course, the whole BODY
of these hunters are capital hofsemen, and anna
zingly expert in the use of firearms Depending
entirely upon the Hudson Bay Company for ammu,
milton and arms, they must submit to any ana all
the arbitrary rules imposed upon them, and they
are heartily tired of these exactions.
Twice each year these hunters, four or tive nun
bred in number, start for the American territories
| after the buffalo, with from 1000 to 100 carts
drawn by horses or oxen, which are driven by the
| women and children, The men are governed by
| fixed rules while at the hunt, which must not be
infringed under severe penalties. They all leave
| the camp together with the exception OF few who
are left as a guard, and when a cerne or surround
of buffalo has taken place, the women and childrer
are sent TOR, to assist In Dutcherng anu uIyhS 'e
| meat of the slain animals Each cart will contain
the pemican Tor dried meat, pounded and melteo
tallow poured over it, of ten buaoes, so that The
| slaughter of these animals may be estimated at up
wards of 10000 annually. The meat thus pre-
pared is purchased at a small price by the Hudson
Bay Company, and is used TO provision the inlant
trading posts. An attempt has, on one occasion
| been made to prevent the incursions of these PEG
| ple within our boundaries, but without effect
| MANY of these mixed bloods desire now to remov
| to Pembina, which is on the American side of tn
line, and settle there, if permission can be obtained
| from our Government. They would constitute
formidable and efficient defence to our northern
| frontier in case of Indian disturbances, as the
are much feared by all the different tribes. Th
| British settlement at Red River, in the vicinity Q
| Fort Gary numbers about five thousand souls

BURNING OF STEAMER HIGHLANDER.-The St.
Louis Reveille the I'd inst, contains the follow
ing account of the burning of the Highlander ::
"Toward O'Clock, yesterday afternoon, thick
smoke was discovered by persons on shore, issuing
from the wheel house Of the steamer Hg hlaffder.
On boarding, they discovered her to be on fire.
Some sparks from blacksmith-shop had fallen in
pile of hemp, slowed away near the hatch, and
ignited it, and the alarm scarcely given before
the flames spread about in every direction. The
fire engines were down almost Immediately after
the first bell was rung; but, despite the utmost
exertions of the fremen, the flames continued to
spread until her cabin and upper works entire
ly destroyed to the lower decks. The Highlander
was an old boat, long employed in the New Or
leans trade, and owned entirely, we understand by
Mr. N. Ranney portion of her cargo, amount
ing to nearly four hundred tons, and consisting OF
pork, bacon, flour, hemp, wheat, ETC.. was either
destroyed or greatly injured The books, papers,
etc., were all saved. The steamer Gen. Jesup,
which was lying alongside of the Highlander at the
time of the fire, was slightly scorched. Fortunately,
those on board were enabled to get her away be-
fore any serious damage was done to her."

CHOLERA IN LOUISVILLE. - The Louisville

"This disease is now confined mainly to small
space where moisture and filth have done their

Cured in the same square, and within few feet
of each other. Attention to cleanliness, the re-
moval of filth, and the free use of lime are now
imperative. We repeat, however, that the disease
cannot now become general through the city. On
Fifth street, yesterday, between Main and Water,
we heard of three deaths. One was woman, and
the others were journeyman baker at Reinhart's,
and German boarding at the Lone Star tavern.
There were some three four more persons sick in
the same square. The entire square is now freely
sprinkled with lime, which we think will abae the
disease A colored man, residing on the alley be-
tween Second and Third streets, who had been
sick and neglected several days, died yesterday.
These are all the cases we have heard of as occur

HoRRID MURDER AT LIsLE.-A correspondent

A most extraordinary murder was committed in

of very incorporate habits, was ploughlng IN COM
pany with a Young son, only eight years of age,
(ls we expect and overcome by ntoxication, una
bic to proceed with his work, laid himself down in
the furrow and went to sleep This yonng man
seeing bis fathers helpless condition, took the team
from the plough and driving them to the barn I'M
harnessed them, and then went to the house, where
he obtained sharp axe and proceeded directly 10
the spot where his father lay, and absolutely
chopped has head off, and as he tells the story,
struck the headless trunk bloW which threw II
several feet from him. The reason he assigns for
the horrid deed is that his father was drunken
worthless scamp, and that the day previous he had
chastjsed him when intoxicated.
