The above figures show the number Of votes
cast for William R Marshall and David Ohm
sted, men who were opposed to the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise, and who are in ia.
vor of the restoration of that measure. These
figures prove that nearly two.thirds Of the PEG:
pie of this Territory are Republicans, and had
the whole vote given to the two Anti Nebraska
candidates been concentrated on one, Mr.. Rice
would have been defeated BY as many votes a.
he is now triumphant. Beside this, a large
number who sympathize with the Republicans
and who would have voted with them, could
not do so, in consequence of not having been
in the Territory sufficient length of time, SO
that we can safely say that Mr.. Rice does not
go to Congress as the exponent Of the true sem
timents of the People CT Minnesota Territory,
but as the exponent of one-third of the whole
number Of our population, who were influenced
to vote for him either by pecuniary considera-
lions or the hope Of office, or through msrep.
rcsenation. The vote for Mr.. Marshall will
reach 9 800, and in view of the radical plat.
form upon which he stood. this is Almost excel
lent result, for j, shows that large number OF
our people are what the world terms, straight
out-and-out Aeolitionists, who will stick to
their party at all hazards. In one more year
from this time the Republicans can add 5000
to their ranks, and that too without counting
traitors and limber-back dough-faces who value
a dollar more highly than Principle. Then, 1t
will be contest worthy the energies Of those
who, during the campaign just past, have
fought as became men who, knowing they were
right, shrunk not from meeting the issue boldly.

FATAL EFFECTS OF SLANDER.-Within the past
week our town has been the scene of the mos IA
tai effects of SANDER that We remember ever to
have heard Of. s. .'.- T- a.. n Fl -
g few months ago, widow lady, with large
family of daughters, all young, intelligent and in
terestng, took up her abode among US in one of
the best quarters of the town. Her reputation
was without blemish, and yet in some way, chow
has not been ascertained,) slanderous report was
put in circulation touching her character and that
OF her family. Every intelligent and right mind
ed person to whose cars this report came, who
knew the family, united in denouncing it as false.
No one believed it or pretended to believe it.
Yet false as it was, it continued to go, and every
few days it was brought back to the unfortunate
lady who was its victim. To add to her distress,
three attempts were made to fire her residence
These facts so preyed upon her mind as to con-
line her to her bed. The efforts of her friends to
rally her by assurances that nobody believed the
reports. and to divert her mind from the circum-
stances, were in vain. The subject continued to
prey upon her mind, and she continued to greu
constantly worse, till last Friday when she died.
The, Physicians who attended her say unhesita-
tingly that she died of no bodily complaint, her
disease being entirely mental, affecting her ner-
vous system and producing death. Her DEATHS,
therefore, literally and truly attributable to the
foul breath OF ca!umny. The inventor Of this vile
Islander, (whoever he or she may be. J has the sat-
isfaction of knowing that the hellish inventisn
has done its work effectually and has stripped an
innocent and amiable family of defenceless or
Phan children Of their only earthly protector

VEGETABLE CURIosITY.--The st. Anthony Ex-
press says Mr.. ii. ii. Hopkins who resides in Hen
nepin County, about 10 miles west of Minneapolis,
informs us that he has a single squash vine, on
which are growing fourteen squashes, which will
average not less than fifty pounds each. This
makes an aggregate Of seven hundred pounds for
single vine: This will give our Eastern friends
some idea of the astonishing productisenrss of
our soil. We hesitate not to affirm that Minne-
sofa cannot be surpassed on vegetables adapted
to her climate, by any State in the Union.

ma The correspondent. of the St. Louis

ma The correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican writing from Gen. Harney's camp,
gives the, following account Of the fight be-
tween the Indians and the United States troops:
The Indians were encampsd On the Blue Water
River, beautiful stream which rises in the sand
butts to the north of the Platte, and emptics into
the Platte about three miles above Ash Hollow
The Indians were discovered as we came in camp
at Ash Hollow, the evening Of the I'd, and Gen.
Harvey at once determined to attack them. Ac-
cordingly, the mounted force, under Col. Cook,
turned their position before daylight next morn
ing, while at daybreak, Maj. Cady, with bata-
lion Of the 9th infantry commenced the action, and
as the Indians retreated, they all at once found
themselves upon the dragons, who suddenly de-
bouching from their ambuscade, charged the In
dams with sabre and revolver, and what between
the troopers, the infantry, and the Indians, there
was soon fine specimne of free fight as one
could wish to see. The fight and chase lasted
for two or three hours, at the end of which time
there were no Indians to be seen except the pris-
onsrs, and the dead bodies which were piled up
IN all directions. The Indians lost about IS in
killed, including their chief Little Thunder, and
between 60 and 70 prisoners (women and child
rem y they also captured large number of horses
and mules-tO say nothing Of wagon loads Of
new lodges, Buffalo meat and Indians fxins in
general. We lost four killed, four severely, and
four slightly wounded. Two of the wounded will
not be likely to recover, as the arrows which
| strnck them penetrated their lungs.

way in shore to find passage. They discovered
an Indian village, where they learned that DR..

returned to Disco's Island, in Davis Straits,
where they found the Kane Expedition.

were more or less frost bitten. On the 4th OF
September, the Rescue narrowly escaped ship

BETTrNG on ELECrIoN's.-The editor of the Al
bany (New York) Register, relates the following
personal "reminiscences
owe were great jackson man, We were, the
last time the old General ran for the Presidency.
and whenever General jackson runs for that
Office, shall be so again. We lived in the coun-
try then, and had neighbor who was on the 9TH
er side of the political fence, who was a great
dealer in horses. Well got into an argument
with him one day, and so sure was he of success
that he offered to bet horse against $50 that the
old hero of New Orleans would not be elected
We took the bet. The argument being one that
had no end, was renewed from time to time with
the same result, until FIVE horses on one side, and
$3.50 on the other was staked on the issue of the
election. We won. But we had forgotten to
designate the animals and such lot of horses as
was rendered in payment of the debt was a sight
to see. IT there was an ailment to which horse
flesh is subject that was not exhibited by one of
these five horses, we would like to be Informed
of its diagnosis. There was ringbone, and spav-
in, and stringhat, and blindness, and heaves, and
one venerable old roadster had all these, and in
addition was as deaf as post. We kept them
week, as collection of curosities in the animal
line, and then sold them at auction. According
to our recollection, four of them for forty dollars
in the aggregate, and We gave tin pedler ten
dollars for taking the other one away. We have
not bot on elections since, and don't want to win
any more horses.
