A Leaf from Indian History A Century Ago

The following is copied from MS. ss History
of New England" written by the Rev Jacob
Bailey, who for nineteen years was minister
in the region where the events which he has re.
lated took place He went to that part of the
country in E6o, and as he became acquainted
with some of the persons of whom he speaks, he
must have received the materials of the story
from their own mouths. This narrative has
never before been published The Life of Mr.
Bailey has been published under the title o

THE NEBRASKA BILL.

MEssRs. ED1roRs:- the Nebraska Bill has
passed! The fraud is contaminated consumma-
ted in defiance of public sentiment, and at the
beck and bidding of worse than political gam
blers. 1t were almost impossible to find terms
strong enough to denounce the treachery which
would thus imperil our glorious experiment of
republicanism.
Well might the notorious mover of this scheme
with the stamp of moral treason on his brow,
seek to gag the pulpit, and shrink from the utter
ance of moral sentiment while appealing to the
cupidity, the ambition, or the weakness of I'M
principled associates to wound freedom in the
house of its professed friends.
Will the people be willing to be thus set at
nought? their best interests bartered for one
mans ambition? their petitions and remonstran-
ces scoffed at and defed? Eternal vigilance is
now as ever the price of liberty, and God forbid
that the people should now sit down with the dis
position to make the best of it, or contented with
hope that perhaps aftersall, the result may not
be so bad as its arch originator tempted Douglas
to expect.
As a lover of freedom, thank you Gentlemen,
for the noble sentiments you have expressed in
your paper of this morning From the dawn of
recollection have loved the light Of freedom as
it has shone from this continent upon the world,
glorying in its brightness and hoping it would be
forever undimned. l love it still, and shall ever
seek to defend it.

ENcouRAGINc.-We learn from His Excellency
Gov. German, that gentleman living in Indiana
over 80 years of age, has sent him his land war
rant and letter requesting him to locate ono
hundred and sixty acres of land for him in this
territory. We also learn that Thomas II. Sey-
mour, formerly Governor of Connecticut, now
Minister to Russia, has forwarded his Land War
rant for the same purpose. These facts are en-
couraging, as they show that not only the young
and energetic, but the aged and intelligent have
all heard of, and are turning their attention to
Minnesota.

SPIRIT OF THE PREss.-The Democrat of last
evening, aluding to the Nebraska Bill, says =
We have received the full proceedings with ayes
and nays, which we shall publish Tomorrow
The Mnnesotian Of yesterday morning an
nounces the passage of the bill.
The Pioneer of yesterday morning remarks -
without stopping this morning. to discuss the
merits of the measure, which has now doubtless
become law, we barely express hope that it
may prove in its practical operation all that has
been claimed for it by its supporters as a means
of alaying slavery agitation in Congress, and of
placing territorial system on just and stable
baSs.''

From the London Times.

We receive the intelligence of the lombard
ment of Odessa with feelings which are not I'M
mixed with regret. 1t was to be expected that
the first great operation of war in which the COM
bned fleets now in the Black Sea were engaged
would intlict severe blow ON the enemy, and
would prove with what overwhelming force the
naval ornaments Of England and France are pro-
vided.
We shall doubtless learn that the measures taken
by the command of Admiral Hamelin and Admit
raj Dundas were of the most effective character,
but we must be allowed, without the slightest
dsparagement to the gallantry of these officers or
of the magnificent fleets under their orders, to feel
some regret that the first blow in the war should
have fallen upon commercial city, rather than
military or a naval port.
We satisfied, however, that the Russian
authorities in Odessa are to blame for having
drawn down this terrible calamity on their unfor-
tunatc fellowcitiZens by an outrage on Il far of
truce, which is almost unparalleled in the warfare
of civilized nations. reference is here made to
the firing of the Russians upon the English steam
er Furious, with flag of truce.)
The town Of Odessa WAS founded by Catherine
III. after she had extended her domnOns, 1892, to
the banks of the Dnicster, and for 80 years it has
become the emporium of the trade of Southern
Russia. 1t is fortified according to the mod ern
principles OF defence and the citadel, on the east
SIDE of the town, commands tn. port.
The port itself is formed by two large moes,
one of VIII ch is regularly defended by parapet,
with tmbr;surcs for cannon. The anchorage in
tn bay is goo l. and the water deep that ves-
scls of the first class lie within reach of the
shore.
1t Sc ms, however, by the brief account which
has reached us from Vienna, that the only practi-
cable harl,or was attacked on the 23d bv nine
steamers of the fleet and that one small battery
was destroyed, and the ships in the harbor burnt.
1t is added that the city bombarded with
shells and rockets for ten (or as another account
says, two) hours but this information has prob
ably been transmitted to Vienna through Russia.
EvES.-A Geographic despatch says that Mat.
Ward publishes an appeal in y. Orleans paper,
to the editors of the different journals throughout
the United States asking a suspension of their
opinion upon the result of his trial, until the re-
port of the evidence has been officially published
by the Appletons.
Public opinion asked the suspension of Mat.
Ward, on the strength of we'll known facts of the
case, well as evidence. Money cheated the
gallows of It's due; and now we scarcely think
public opinion will suspend itself to accommo-
date the culprt.-Chic. Dem.

READ Tulsa gentleman who contemplates
visiting Minnesota with some three hundred 9TH
ers in June, writes us as follows: elf not too
much trouble, wish you to see some honest land
agent, and ascertain on what terms he can enter
for me few hundred acres of your best pine tim
bered land, say from 500 to 1000 acres. Let the
terms and other considerations be known by the
time arrive at your place, so that my negotia-
tons will not detain me.''
He then goes on to remark that it will be a
great curiosity to see the Indians, and hopes that
all in the vicinity of st. Paul will be on the spot
evidently much pleased with his anticipated visit.
This is only one out of some FIVE hundred 9TH
ers who will probably lay out money in our terri
tory before leaving it, and we may expect for a
short time at least pretty brisk business. Be
prepared to answer thousand questions in a.
many seconds.

A block of buildings is soon to be erected on
jackson street to connect with the above hotel,
which will add very materially to the beauty of
that part of the town. These buildings are to be
erected by Messrs. Borup & Cakes, who are bust
ly engaged in various enterprises calculated to

DETROIT. Nav Doth

DETROIT, May ZUth.
United States as. ErdStuS Potter The Court
instructed the jury follows:
LIST. That the entry of the premises at the land
office, subsequent to the alleged tespass by the de-
PENDANT, or any other person constituted no de-
fence to the indictment, and could not affect the
imposition of the fine by the Court. The guilt
attached at the time, and the subsequent conduct
of the party did not remove it, change the char
acter of the original act.
I'd. That, il the defendant was in the employ
ment of Mcneil, and Mcneil owned the adjacent
unsettled land, and both he and his servant OF
agent acted under a clear mistake as to the tract
upon which they were cutting, and believed at
the time they were on McNcips land, and not gov
eminent land, and that they were ignorant of Sec
ton lines and surveys, such testimony amounted
to valid defence.
Sd. The fact of being an employee was not of
itself sufficient to acquit. There must be other
evidence showing mistake, ignorance, and the
absence of all intention to commit the trcspass.
4th. To sustain the counts for removal, there
must be proof that the logs were removed from
the lands described in the Indictment.
5th. The value of the trees must be assessed,
according to their value standing on the ground.
The jury brought in veruict of guilty and
fixed the value of the trees at $50.
