A MINIsTERIALSr RIKE.-Yesterday
at Urbana, the bell Of the Presbyterian
Church rang the second time; the con-
gregation sat waiting and watching,
but no minister came. After the lapse
Of half an hour, a note was handed to
one of The elders, who arose and read
it to the congregation. 1t was from
the minister, who said he would not
preach for them any more till his sala-
ry was paid up. There's clergyman
Of the right pluck. Why should a
minister. any more than shoemaker,
mend souls without being paid for it?

Lieut. Fleming, upon consultation, sent some hVe
or six of the traders down to see the Sioux ana 10
bury the dead but they told the traders very ex.
plicty that the quarrel waslnOt one IN which
they were concerned, and they had better keep
out of it, and then drove them back to the tort.
The consequence was that when the messenger
left the dead bodies were still lying exposed on
the plains, only two, those of Lucien and another
having been buried by two returning CaIifornians,
VI no ventured to execute the hazardous task tor
$25-a piece. .. ....
Nothing further has been heard from the fort
at the present time, and it would seem that the
report that the Sioux has surrounded Laramie Is
not confirmed. AT the last accounts Matte.owan
who shot in three places at the first discharge
from the soldiers, was at the point of death. lie
is brave warrior and o great friend of the
whites.
The St. Louis Republican says that Lieutenant
G. received "a arrows in his body, one of which
passed through his head. Two of his men were
killed by the same discharge. MIR. j. Bordeau,
IN letter to the Republican, says he had succeed
ed in burying the bodies of The unfortunate men,
The Indians subsequently, came to his store, and
to save his life he had to give them everything IN
t-some two thousand dollars worth of goods.
Mr.. B. adds:
As far as | know anything about Indians, |
think that our government ought to send five hun.
dred mounted men, veteran troops; 10 keep the In
dians in subjection; and one company of infantry
to guard the fort. The Indians, in the recent bat
tie, after killing althe soldiers broke their cannon
to pieces, and carried off their muskets and AMI.
mais AS for placing the infantry on prairie to
fight with Indians, it is just the same putting
them up targets to be shot at There were
about one thousand Indians in the battle.

Surrender of zsomcrsund.

The following picture of the surrender of Bo.
mersund we clip from the Paris correspondence oi
the New York Herald. Ii will be read with in
terest. The conduct of the French soldiers is
highly appIauded. "The French" says an eye
witness Of the battle, "are certainly soldiers in
heart and soul. They have not only genius for
war. but delight in it. They not only accept it as
a necessity, but natural vocation all the details
Of it seem habit, the hardships and dangers a
pleasure. Their movements, too, are essentially
military and Picturesque as well. 1t was really a
splendid sight to see the manner in which, with a
seeming hardihood, yet real precaution, they made
their advances, facing the fire opened on them, yet
exposing themselves little to it, dashing al all the
dangerous points, and apty availing themselves OF
all shelter.
But to the extract:
'It mus. have been, in truth, an interesting
sight-the surrender. The Notifications, COM
pletely bestrewed with eighty -four pound shot,
broken Shells grape and canister, ntermixed with
enormous sheets of iron, that had been dlslodged
from the Roof, and the granite walls broken in a
thousand places. In the interior which was a
large square and parade ground, the fatal missiles,
and heaps Of broken granite and brckwork, be.
spoke the terrible vgor of the siege.
The commanders.n.c chief, d'Hilliers, Napier,
with Admiral Chads, the senior captains, the
colonels of the French regiments, &C., with bril-
liant staff on horseback, were drawn up outside.
The army lined the way for 800 yards, and stood
with loaded guns and fixed bayone;s, between
which the prisoners passed two by two, the drums
and flies of the marines striking up national airs,
which were taken up by each regiment in the rear.
The Russians looked dspired and careworn.-
At intervals few drunken shouts escaped from
the fort, from some wretches who, seeing the sur
render, had rushed to the spirit casks. These
poor devils were the last thut could be got out,
and hearing the music thy commenced their
national pastime, and iudicrousiy danced polka
through the whole line. General Bodisco, the
Russian Governor, eighty years of age, stated
that his chance Of holding ou longer had become
quite hopeless, ten-inch gun, turned from their
own mud battery against them, being we'll handled
he observed also that the battery from the heights
was brought to play upon him, and that the
French were gradually advancing apd securing
their position.
To the second tower their roadway;
1t was approached only by climbing over the
rocks. 1t mounted 90 guns. The breach made
in it by Capt Ramsay's battery at 500 YARDS
across an inlet terrific. The whole west
side had literally fallen away, and eight men
could have entered abreast. This breach was
effected in nihe hours. The Royal marines, in
the dead of the night, after the truce, marched
through ravine and brought away II prisoners,
under heavy fire of canister and rockets"

Particulars of the Terrible Massacre
Near Fort Laramie.

The St. LOUIS papers contain the particulars rs oil
the terrible massacre of Lieut.. Gratlan and TWEEN.
ty United States soldiers, by the Indians, near
Fort Laramie. AS already stated, Mormon en-
igrant had complained to Lieut.. Fleming. the off.
Ger in command Of the FORT that Sioux Indian
had killed one of his cows. Lieut.. F. at once
sent for the head chief of the eSIoux-Mattei-o i-owan
Ohe Bear)-and demanded that the Indian should
be given up. Matte-i-owan informed him that if
he would send file Of soldiers he would endea.
vor to have the Indian surrendered. Lieut.. Flem
ing then ordered out Lieut.. ,Grauan with twenty
two men and the United States inte rpreter, Au.
guste Lucien, to accompany the Sioux chief to the
Minnecongou village, which was situated some
nine miles below the fort. The chiefs, however,
refused to surrender him, saying they would
rather be killed, when Lieut.. Gratan Immediately
ranged his pieces OF artillery and commenced
firing upon the village. The st. Louis Demo
crat says:
Three or four muskets were also fred at the
same time, but the only result was 10 knock the
top off of one of the lodges, and to wound Matte.
rowan and his brother, who were standing in
lront-the former with three balls, the latter with
one. So soon as the troops fired, the Indians re-
turned it, and poured upon them shower of ar.
rows. The first discharge killed Lieut.. Grattan,
who was standing by the side of the cannon As
he fell his command al once lost heart
and attempted TO fly-Ieaving their cannon, arms,
and everything else. The Sioux then charged
upon the flying soldiers, and shot and iona ha wked
every man Of them one, who made his es.
cape by taking down ravine, and thus getting
out OF sight. The interpreter who was with the
party, Auguste Lucien, who had married Sioux
squaw, jumped upon his horse and attempted to
make his escape. He succeeded in getting rid Of
his immediate pursuers and in making circle
around the camp, but instead of striking for the
prairie, he very loolishly attempted 10 through
the BruIle camp, which directly between him
and the fort, and which was already alarmed by
the firing. The result that an Indian ran out
and shot his horse with his rifle, and then came
upon him with his omahawk.. Lucien cried out
to him not to kill him, as he Sioux by mar
rage, but the only reply The Indian made was TO
bury his Ratchet in his head. The soldier who
escaped down The ravine was found by Sioux
named /" Black Heart" and owed his life TO his
assistance in getting him back to the fort during
The night.
The tragedy occurred on the afternoon Of the
l 9th Of August, and it was not until the next
morning that news of 1t reached the fort. The
Sioux then sent word to the commandant TO send
out some more of his men 10 bury his dead and
they would serve them in the same way. They
also went to the depot Of the American Fur Com
Pany, which was near their camp, and where the
annuity goods $3.50. 900 worI) were in store. and
turned them upon the plain, and divided them ous.

drought, while it destroys vegetation, de-
stroys also the innumerablc animalculp that
infests the soil. The wecvil, the army
worm, the bugs and insects that from year to
year, do so much damage to crops, will be
destroyed with the vegetation this year. The
animalcula that produce the potatoc rot
must perish in the parched earth; and the
countless swarms of insects that yearly rem
der a large portion of our grains, fruits and
vegetables unwholesome for food, will be
swept out of existence. The soil and the at

During series of productive years these
