BY reference to the advertisement Of the Superin-
teudcnsof Iadian fairs, itwil y seen thdt there
will be provisions Grushed The Indians at dhe ncw
agency on the Minnesota liver the coming season, to
che amount Of thirty thousand dollars This will not
be more than half the amount OF provisions
which the Indians will consume. In addition to the
provisions necessary for the the supply of the Indians
the troops and other employees of the government,
will require large quantity.
BE it remembered that these supplies are not
necessary for this year only, but will continue for
many years, and will be increasing in much greater
ratio than the production. Farmers who cmigrae to
Minnesota will do well to observe that there will he
steady cash marke, north of the Upper Minnesota
river for one hundred thousand dollars worth Of
produce annually, and the prices will be equal to the
price Of the article below, with the transportation
added. The lind on the Minnesota is equal 10 any

On the l2th Of February, Mr.. Sib!ey presented
the memorial OF lS2 citizens of Pembina county, in
the Territory of Minnesota, praying Congress to
establish military post at St. Joseph for the pro-
lection Of the inhabitants against attacks of the Sioux
Indians and prevent the reuen, incursons of the
hunters of the Hudson's Bay Company into our ter
ritory, in defiance Of existing laws; also, praying
for the negotiation of treaty for the extnguishmcnt
of the Indian title to the land in the valley OF the
Red river of the North.

We clip the above from an exchange for the
especial benefit Of the Democrat Mann, il he should
be disposed to write another article on the disgrace

SAL ERATUs.-The Saybrook Mirror publishes
an article on the injurious effects of Sal Eratus on
the human system, which we think viii appl, to

The Legislature Of Iowa has peiitioned Congress
ior grant Of Fort Atkinson and the lands attached
to the State for school purposes. We can sec no
disposition that could be made Of that property that
