TITLEs.--In a letter addressed by General
Charles Lee, Of the revolutionary army, 10 Pat
rick Henry, he says:
''There is barbarism crept in among US, that
shocks me extremely. / mean those tnsel epi-
thets with which we are bespatteTed; "his excel

seating can't may be we'll enough adapted 70 bar

ted pride Of the magnifdian pompous aristocra-
cies; but, in great, free, manly commonwealth.

ment Of the business of this thriving town, as we
have been able to obtain,
Saltwater situated at the head Of Lake St. Croix,
and is the county Of Washington county, the best
agricultural county in the Territory, this time.
The principal business Of this is derived from
the numbering done on the St. Crox and its trbuta-
res. During the it is the resort of the Iun
bermen employed on the river, and the business is
much increased during the months.
The town has a very pretty location, Immediately
on the bank of the Lake. The Territorial Prison is
located at this place. We understand that conpa.
ny from st. Louis intend erecting one of the most
extensive saw mills in the west, at Saltwater, next
spring. The foundation is being excavated ard tim.
Der for the frame has been contracted for, Saltwater
is emphatictly numbering town. and its prosperii,

THE CHIPPEwA PAYMESTs.-The last Mime
sotian publishes statement of n Mr. Ematinger rel
ave to the payment Of the annuity goods and provs-
ions to certain bands Of Chppewas residing on the
ST. Croix and Chippewa rivers, which is so palpablv
incorrect, that believe it should not 90 unconra-
dcted.
The Department at Washington. has for come time
past. refused pay either money, goods or provisions
at any point except at the agency The object of this
policy was to keep those Indians wi.hin their own
Territory, and prevent their remaining IN the vicni
ty of the white settlements. These St. Crox and
Chippewa river Indians still occupy their old Local
tons, great distance from the Chippewa Agency,
and they visited the Superintendent, Gov. German,
last fall, for the purpose of soliciting the distribution
Of their annuity goods aud provisions at some point
more convenient for them than that agency The
Governor, in his reply, instead Of saving che would
select some more convenient place where they shoud
receive their goods and provisions" said he would
e,ldeoaOr to obtain aatory 10 distribute their goods
and provisions at some other point than the agency,
and suggested the Falls of ST. Croix, as probably the
most convenient point for both the government and
the Indians.
Governor German then addressed a letter to the
Department, stating many reasons why, in justice,
the policy Of the Department should be changed at
least for the present, aud authority be granted for the
distribution Of their goods and provisions, at the
Falls of the ST. Croix, point which the supplies
could be sent by steamboat, t,ng expense, while
it is Of convenient access to the Indians.
The Department not having given authority Tor the
proposed change. Gov. German did not feel al, ,erty
to direct the distribution TO be made at any other
place than that which The Department had designated

the Indians, and their inability reach the agency

river, to the immigrant, while its connection with the
Sioux River road, and with the MENDOZA road, would
open large tract Of country east and south Of the
same river
The road from the Iowa line to 81. Paul, by its
connection with the Fort Rdgely road, and those
with which connects would open travel for u,mi-
grants, to almost any point on the Minnesota or the
Mississippi. A road between Forts Smelling and
Ridseey would pass through rich agricultural coun-
Try, and would connect with both the Lake Pepn
roads. This road is very necessary means Of
communication between the Government Forts and
Indian agencies in the Territory.
Another road very necessary to the interests Of our
Territory, well the prompt Of troops
throughout ,he Territory, is from the Point Douglass
and Fort Ripley road, at the Big Bend on the
Mississippi to Fort Ridselcy on the Minnesota, and
thence the most direct and practicable route to
the mouth Of White Earth River, near old Fort aux
Cedres OH the Missouri
This last mentioned road besides its advantages rs
a means of communication between Forts Ripley and
Ridgeley, passing through the country between the
Indian and white settlements WOULD by its intersection
with the eastern roads already designated at Fort
Ridgeley, open direct route from the north the east
and the south, through the heart Of Territory, to
the easiest and mos, accessible crossing the Mis-
souri,, for emigrants to California.
! These are among the most important roads west OF
the Mississippi, which demand the early attention o.
Congress and for which ample appropriations should
he made at early day. That Delegate will exert
his every energy to obtain the necessary appropra-
tions for improvements in Minnesota, We have nc
doubt, but he should also receive all the assistance
which cal possibly be afforded him from the Territory
We have mentioned this subject that the people
may reflect upon it, and take such action in the prem
Uses may appear best calculated to promote the
success Of our Delegate in Congress

Removal Of the Indians,

We publish the following letter with pleasure, that
MesserF. Forbes and BaiiIy may be exonorated from
having made any report relative to the return OF the
Indians to their old hunting grounds the Mnneso-
ia ana Mississippi. The fact Isl we did not Mr..
Forbes after his return from Red Wood, until the
next day after the publication of last weeks Pioneer.
After mentioning the return of those gentlemen, we
purposeiy refrained from connecting them with the
remarks which followed, because cur information was
obtained from different source.
We had, and still have reason to believe that our
Information Was correct, and that portion Of the
Indians formerly residing the Minnesota and Mis-
sssppi will endeavor to return to their old hunting
grounds" In saying this, however, we did no, in
tend to imply that their removal was not ''subs,an-
TALLY made" They have certainly been removed
and will doubtless all return 10 their reservation il.
the spring without difficulty Some Of the Indians,
however, left with the intention oreturn:ng during the
winter evidence of which intention is, that thew
have left considerable par, of their property slowed
away "to their old hunting grounds, and unless
the strong Of the Government should be interpos-
ed to prevent them, they still expect to return. We
have learned from Gov. German, since the last issue
Of the Pioneer, that measures will be taken on the
part Of Government to prevent the Of the Ind
ans to the vicinity Of The White settlements. That
Of course will prevent their contemplated visit. and
