FRrESDLy MrEnko.-Ws noticed Eve noble
looking Chippewa Indians conyersing and smoking
the pipe with several Sioxx, in ST. Anthony It,,
on Wednesday last. They cannot understand
each other only by signs, which are quite expres-
sive even to the white man. One Of the Sioux
exhibited the scars where he had been shot by the
Chippewas, and his left arm was then in sling
| in consequence Of q wound frsm the enemy. The
exhibition Of these scars seem to greatly delight
| the Chippewas, Who laughed heartily. We learn
| that band Of Sioux lay in wait for their enemy
o short distance from st. Paul, and probably this
exhibition Of friendly feeling was merely feigned
to inyeigle the Chippewas and take their lives
| bat the brave warriors were too keen for them;
| they understood their tactics too well.
Gw We showed up on Monday last, the slimsy
groundwork Of the friends of Mn. Rice in their
eaests to bolster up their ean1iifpAe By what 10
had done for q Railroad Wsezhihitsdthe truth
in all ITS saksdnsss, clearly demonstrating that if
| there were any honor to come from ociginatng a
Railroad route from the Iowa line to ST. Paul,
| that honor belonged to WlLaIAx r. MARSHALL,
and not to him (Alr. Rice) who was inssrumsntal
in defeating the Bill which gave Minaesota mag
| nifssna grant Of lands. A correspondent in to-
days paper takes the honorable gentleman to
task On another point which neithes be nor his
friends can dodge. Instead Of relying upon his
oxn merits, Mn. Rice has 6 stolen the livery Of
Heaven to serve the Devil in,'' but the clouds Of
glory in which he has been envclopcd are grad
ually disappearing, and the people are viewing
him in his true light.
k CANNex ErxER. The TinesI anaMee taa CORES
| pondent says, that farmer with suaalE means IN
coming into this Territory should locate. in. the
| neighborhood of Cannon river. Now We know
very well that the Cannon river country has many
advantages, but it will not compare aae nonenk
with that part Of the Territory situated on tho
south branch Of Crew River. The soil Is net ~
good, the timber il not plenty, the water is not
convenient, and it is attended with all the dis
advantages, without any Of the advantages Of
Crow river. There is part of Minnesota that
begins to- offer such inducements to the saericsltus

Crow river and the country west and northwest
of st. Anthony. We would like to have neighbor
Newson visit these parts and then judge for him.

| We have hitherto been impressed xith the idea
that the Cannon River country was decidedly the
best for agrieultarists, and henee our advice 10
the emigrants to locate there We have recently
/ heard much of the Crow River country, and be-
leive it to be all cur neighbor claims for it, and
| as soon rs we eaH speak from actual observation,
will take pleasure in making its advantages

HAnsn--One Of the publishers Of the Red
| Wing Sentinel uses some very harsh language
towards Capt Atchinson, Of the Golden Era,
for violating his word, in telling said publisher
that he (the Car. would start at a given time.
and then departing before the time expired We
are informed by gentleman who states that
| he overheard the conversation between the
Captain and the Publisher Of the Sentinel. that
the latter gentleman is mistaken; the Captain
waited over the hour, and in order to be sure,
inquired the time Of several passengers before
he gave orders to draw in the plank. But
whatever may be the facts in the case, we think
our contemporary is unnecessarily harsh in his
denunciation Of the Captain, who is pronounced
by passengers to be true gentleman, and an
accommodating commander.

weather yesterday, from beat to cold, made over
coats by no means uncomfortable. 1t was ON
phaticaly the first edition of Fall but strangers
should not get the impression that such weather
is common with US this is BY no means tho case.
The change was probably caused BY the heavy
showers at the south and west, but as soon as THE
cold streak has passed off, VIC shall once more ex.
pcrience that serene and invgorating atmosphere

A LARGE TRAcr.-We received call yesterday
morning from Mr.. Joseph Rawnsley, of Trenton,
N. j. who is now in this Territory with view Of
purchasing large tract Of land, upon which, hs,
in company with eleven other families, (all rela-
tivcs) intend settling. He is much pleased with
the country and will probably purchase - close
to St. Paul as possible. ISL ssa, ~ l.es,si
