END OF THE Sioux WAR.--We learn from the st.
Louis Republican that information has been re-
ceived in that city, from unofficial source, that
Gen. Harvey has had "a talk with the represent
atives of all the Indians in the Sioux country,
with the exception of two tribes ranging from Ft
Clark, and that definite terms of peace and friend
ship have been agreed upon between the parties.
The two tribes holding out have for sometime
maintained a hostile position towards the United
States, and may yet give some trouble. They
live high up on the Missouri. Col. Vaughan,
who is fully informed of the arrangement be-
tween Gen. Harney and the Indians, met with an
accident on his route, and may be delayed some
days.

The Population and Wealth Of Minnesota.
To the Editor of the Herald.

morning on the relative wealth and population of
the various Slater and Territories of this country,
you give to Minnesota only $4,000 inhabitants,
and place its property at three million. In this
you are mistaken. Gov. German, in his recent
message, stated officially that the Territory con-
tanned $1,000 inhabitants, and that this informa-
tion was derived from sources he knew to be cor
rect. Eight months ago the census takers made
n return of over $4,000, and since then there has
been rapid increase. Instead of putting down
the amount of property in Minnesota at $3,O0O.-
900, it should be at least $S,O0O,000. In St.
Paul alone, doubt not, there is upwards of $3,-
100000 of property. l make this correction be-
lievng that you prefer the truth, when you can
get it, to random guessing. Respectfully yours,
TN. NEwSON.

A New MovEMENT.-A meeting was held yes
terday, in Boston, at the Hall of the Mercantile
Library Association, of prominent members of
the American party, for the purpose of consult
ing upon the best mode of so uniting parties in
this State at the coming election as to secure be-
yond doubt the electoral vote of the State to
Fremont and Dayton. The meeting was numer-
ously attended by delegates from all parts of the
State who were invited by confidential circulars
issuing from committee of gentlemen connected
with the American party, on the sixth of August
Among those present Senator Maine of
Boston, Messrs. Churchill Of Milton, Elmer of
Springfield, wheelright of Taunton, King of
Southboro', and Hall of Holden. The senti
ment seemed to prevail unanimously that the
nominations of an electoral and State ticket had
not been fairly made, that the conventions which
made those nominations prematuIely held
and that especially it was evident that the nomi-
nations made at the Faneuil Hall Convention
where only some two hundred and fifty votes
were cast in a convention of eight nine hun
dred, could not be taken index of the will of
the party. After full and frank discussion of the
matter, conducted with great unanimity and good
feeling, it was voted unanimously to appoint a
committee to issue call at once for a convention
of all members of the American party in this State,
who are of opinion that the action of those con-
ventions was premature, and who desire the NOM
nation of leaders in whom they have entire con
fdence-said convention to meet in Worcester on
the 10th day of September. The committee was
accordingly appointed, and the call will be circu
lated for signatures at once, and be published

o"S me cj6In'tttce Of the Senate refused to yjeM
eUen that.
Mr.. Campbell said it of course became ne.
cessary that they should proceed further to
coz sider the senators proposition, which in
vowed independent legislation. The confer.
ence tell, because the Senate's committee de-
chned to yield the simple proposition that the
army shall not be employed to enforce laws
founded on fraud The difficulty presented
by the Senate was that the INCORPORATION of
such proviso in the army bill would be in.

what strange that such an objection as that
should come from the Senate. 1t would be
reooHected that the house passed the post
ONCE appropriation bill on the recommends
ton OF the postmaster general, vet it was re-
turned from the Senate with an amendment
app opriating half million of dollars for
new contract for carrying the mails to San
francisco with pre- emption rights.

who would go tarthest, but he should be false
to himself, to has constituents, and false to his
God, if he endorsed the enactments of the
kauzas legislature. The members are anxious
to return to their homes, but, nevertheless, as
long as there is hope Of bringing the two
houses together, he would remain He moved
that the house further adhere to its disagree
ment.
Mr.. Stephens, in replying to MIR Campbell,
SAID the House was not competent to pass on
the validity of those laws. That was mat
ter that belonged to the courts. Congress had
no more jurisdiction to pass on the laws of
hanzas than on those of Nebraska or any
other Territory or State. The proviso to the
army bill looked to Congress ior passing on the
validity of The Kanzas laws He repeated
that Congress had noright to act in the prem

Mr. Campbell concluded by moving that the
House adhere to its disagreement.

The House re- assembled at one clock, and

There is one citizen of eighty four years, in

About thousand persons, old and young,

They had great meeting last Saturday evening,

state of politics in America, after which they
formally joined the regular Fremont Club of the

that at meeting of the Hoboken Fremont Club,
on the 22nd inst, just as the meeting was about

the East, and | have seen in our camp, more pos
tive suffering arising from this want, than from
any other cause Let every one bring all the
coarse clothing he can, for fashion is not much
studied or needed here-utility is more sought at
ter. Blue flannel shirts are very useful to wear
on the route, and for arms, it is essential both Tor
hunting and defensive purposes that each should
have good rifle, Sharp's or Aliens patent are
the best, Colts revolver, and bowie knife a
plentiful supply of agricultural implements are
needed and a quantity of axes, hoes, shoyels,
spades, picks, &C., should be brought along. All
kinds of mechanical tools are useful, and no man
should leave such things behind. One word more
