The route may not become thoroughly

MAJOR HERMAN, the Chippewa Agent,
showed his pleasant face in St. Paul, once
more yesterday, having arrived here Oh the
Luella, in company with Messrs Warren
and Rey, interpreters, and the delegations
from the Pillager and Mississippi Bands OF
Indians. They have all seen enough Of
Washington, the manners aud customs of
which have had their usual effect upon the
Indians especially. They left home in flll
glory of Indian chieftainship-war feathers,
paints, Blankets, moccas;ns, leggins, etc, and
yesterday morning landed On their rctcrI1
in costume which looked like pretty sue
cessful struggle of civilization over barha-
rism, and presented q curious medley as
regards the appearance OF the outward man.
The war plume had given way to silk hat
somewhat damaged, the blanket to a frock
coat, the leggins, in some Instances, to pan
falcons, the moccasin to boots and the bow
to an umbrella One thing inseparable to
an Indian remained the pipe. Not all the
civilization Of Washington could make them
abandon that.
Major Herman started from Galena on
the Clarion, and when that vessel was sunk,
returned to Dubuque, and came up on tie
War Eagle. The party is in fine health,
and will start with the Major to the upper
country to morrow, probably. Holeiu-tbe
Day, who is still at the American House,
was very glad to see them; and by the way,
is many are curious to know his Indian
name and its real Interpretation, we may
say, that previous to his fathers death he
was called "Que-we-Zant," Or The Boy.
After his parents decease he took his pre-
sent name of Pogo nay-ze-zlick" Or "Hole-
in-the-Sky"
The following compose the delegation
from the Pillager band:-Esh-ke -bug-e-bow
or Flat Mouth Pe-zhe-ke, or Buffalo
Mah-ge-gah-bow, or Major Cab. Ke-be
ma-be, or Standng-in-a-row. Nay-bun-ay-

The STEAMER CLARION SUNK-This old
acquaintance of Saint Paul and faithful
minister to its wants, in her own way and
sphere Of action, has met with sad disas-
ter, which, we are glad to learn, is not so
serious as was at first reported. On Satur-
day last, week ago, when opposite Wells
Landing, about twenty-five miles above Du-
buque, on her upward trip, she encountered
a gorge of ice and endeavored to force her
way through it. 1t proved too strong and
she was damned very soon. Being unable
to relieve herself from the pressure of the
mass, one of her sides was quickly stove in.
Captain Moran, finding that she was in a
sinking condition, ran her ashore upon an
island where she sunk so far as to bring up
the water over the lower guard about
one foot. She had no freight on board.
She is seven years old, but nevertheless, a
good boat, and as preparations were imme-
diately made to raise her, it is probable by
this time she is aHoat again We hope it
may be so.

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

The receipts of the General Post Office,
from the LIST July, 1854, to Both June, 1855,
amount to six million three hundred and
~evcnty-thrce thousand and forty-four dol
..r> and Sovcnty-six cents, ($6,373,0il TO-
But, it is stated, that the expenses have
gone beyond the receipts, between two and
three millions of dollars; and this fact in
aaccs some of the newspapers of the country
70 advocate an advance in the rates of
postage. For ourselves, We are opposed TO
an increase. The benefits conferred upon
the people and the country by a cheap sys-
ten Of circulating intelligence, is beyond all
calculation. Give the people light, if we
wish them to be prosperous and our institu-
lions preserved. Take away the sources
Of education and information, if you wish
:" cnslave them. Circulate the documents
give the poor as well as the rich, the means
OF ready correspondence, and let them
have knowledge of what is TRANSPORTING in
the world, socially, politically, and com
mercially, say we. We care not how much
tie expenses may ovcrrun the reccipts of
the Post Office Department. There is no
Department of the Government in which
the outlay could be SO usefully and so
happily employed. The United States
treasury, at this time, can well afford few
millions year, for purpose so advanta-
seous to the interests and happiness of the
people. Its plethortic state needs whole
come depletion-and none more suitable and
.andable than that Occasioned by cheap
1oStagc system, and an extension of mail
facilities. We hope there will be no increase
o. postage rates. The people, throughout
ne whole country, are almost unanimous

%GRoG OR NO eRoe ?"

This question was pretty effectually set
lied by the meeting at the Court House on
Wednesday evening. We refer the reader
to note of the proceedings, in another
column. The meeting with one united voice
repudiated the charge made by the '.Whig,' -
that those who composed the previous meet
ing were in pursuit of "grog," while they
were professedly acting from political
motives. The charge has now been fully
denied, and if the Wing has any evidence
in support of it, we should be pleased to see
it produced.
We profess to be friends of the temper
ance cause, while we concur in the opinion
of Mr.. Davis, one of the Speakers at the
meeting, that the ow-Nothings have no
more regard than Democrats have for
temperance, except when they hope to
strengthen Know-Nothingism by assuming
to be its exclusive friends. Having no
strength of its own, it seeks on all occasions
to unite itself to the cause of temperance,
religion, and everything else which promises
to give it vitality. But, it will require
something stronger than ''grog'' to keep it
alive. Burnt brandy won't save it."

INDIAN oUTRAGEs IN OREGON.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, writing from Washington on Thurs
day says:
Letters have been received by the Com
missioner of Indian affairs from Joel Pal
mer, superintendent of Indian Affairs in the
Territories of Washington and Oregon, de-
failing some horrid outrages perpetrated by
the Indians in those Territories. 1t seems
that Mr.. Boland, an Indian agent, has been
murdered by the savages, together with
some fifty-ive miners. The letters bare
date of October 9th, 10th and 18th, and con-
vey the information that the Indian tribes
had concentrated their forces, and, to the
number of some six hundred well armed
warriors, were threatening descent upon
the whites
On the 10Th party of whites, under
command of Major Kenney, had fight with
a party of Yakamahs, and killed several of
them. 1t subsequently appeared that the
Yakamahs were friendly tribe, and in no
way connected with the hostilities. The
Siahs had become frightened and fed to the
mountains. The danger from the Indians
is represented as imminent. Great excite
ment existed, and aid is asked of the Gen
eral Government to secure the subsection
of the savages. The letters were received
on Saturday last, and yesterday the neces-
sary instructions were forwarded to Mr..

reports of the prices of produce-not only
of articles which our readers have to sell,
but of what they have to purchase; and we
shall strive to keep them regularly posted
on the subject. Farmers desire to know
when to sell, and when to buy-and for
the want of such information, sometimes
make bad trades and lose no little money.
