To the Editor Of the Tmes.ag e.si ls s a 10
Sir,TThere is disposition manifested in cer-r
tain quarters, to allow the various companies :
who may build the roads in our Territory, under
the OF the recent Land grant. to select
the routes over which said roads may pass.a
No policy could be more suicidal to the best int
terests Of the Territory, none more cowardly than
20 surrender the rights OF the people into the

a< The communication Of ssJustice.,, III

0T The communication of "Justice," who
writes from Wasioja, covers ground already gone
over by the Republican papers of this city. The
committee who have the matter in charge, have
ignored any special invitations; the remarks of
our correspondent, therefore, (although trutbfc.
and we'll shaped.) are unnecessary at this time.
He may rest assured that the Republicans have
s'their eyes skinned" and that any attempt to
defy the opponents of Freedom to the disparage-
ment of others viii! be promptly met. We shall
be pleased to hear from him on other topics of
equal interest to our readers. :. ss.,s

GT We respectfully answer 81. B. Jones and
Others" of Sauk Rapids, that measures have been
taken by the Central Committee. to complete a
perfect organization, and that our Republican
friends euerywhere in the Territory should be on
the alert. He and his friends will receive the de-
sired information from the Chairman of the Com
mittee-C. D. Glfllan, ESQ.,, of st. Paul.

The victorious steamer that made her way
through Lake Pepin frs. this year, was the War
Eagle, which feat she accomplished on the Both
ult. The Galena reached our levee in advance of
all the rest, at O'Clock on the morning of the
lst, having passed through the Lake on the Both
ult., at l-2 O'Clock P. NJ. A race took place
between the War Eagle, Galena and Golden State,
but the Galena came out 20 minutes ahead. As
matter of course, she will claim the Banner and
the Purse. She leaves this morning at O'Clock.

the Atlas, Telegraph and Chronicle, lies upon our

than by dozen papers like the old Telegraph

Taking the Back Track.

The dyspeptic "Diogenes" Of the Advertiser
who has been playing sssweet'' to the Indians fer
the last three weeks BY laughing at the volunteers
caricaturing the commanders, and ridiculing the
defenceless settlers of the Minnesota Valley, has
finally relented d-he sat down to supper of his own
sneers on Saturday, and swallowed the whole sick
ish potion at gulp Brave Diogenes Funny Di-
ogene! Back sliding Diogsnes Frat he thought
he knsw in iact-that the people up around
Mankato and St, Peter were fools, 60 consumate
blockheads' to make such fuss over ga half dozen
drunken Indians" He wouldn't have been scar
ed-this Diogenes-not he, indeed for there
was nothing to be scared at. The story was the
"creation of senseless panic," (see Adv. .)begot-
ten in "excusable verdancy,p Csee Adv and the
s'ludicrous cries of Distress were caused by
''groundless fears' (see Adv.) and the s.juvenile
bugaboos of frightened fancy;'' (see Adv.) lie
was acquainted with the Indians he wouldn't
be scared, especially hundred miles away from
them, and with paper bullets. An ssEpic' en-.
sues. .a d sa s5..g 4isns 9..h8
Finally. Diogenes gave up giggling, and went
to thinking. Perhaps there had been some dis
turbance' he thought. Now, after three weeks
to quiet his risibles, after the Legislature memo
ralizes the Secretary of War for troops to avenge
the massacre, and to release the female captives,
the heart of Diogenes melts. Something has
been done, that's fact. And the clown who
was jeering week ago at frightened fools,'
doffs his circus-cap and chimes in with the uni
versal sentiment of the country in the determin-
alton to punish this thieving gang of red ras-
cals.' He now speaks with mock sympathy and
prudential pity of the four unfortunate women
calls the massacre horrible and revolting,' and
yells Stentor-like, for adequate force Of mount
ed men to scour the country and ensure for
the crime a certain and fearful retribution ,
This will doubtless sound very funny to those
who read that hebdomsdal of a week ago. The
Advertiser man now, restored to his senses, even
goes so far as to declare with slight tremor of
apprehension in the tone) that the whole force
OF the Government should be used in avenging
and Furnishing the massacre and, fearful lest
somebody ms'ght detect somerset in his move
ments, insolently predxes it with as we said in
beginning ~ Enough said. We congratulate
the Advertiser in having safely swollowed its
trash of a week ago, and finally arrived, after
much tribulation and fretting, within telescope
range of the region of common sense.

CO The piles in the river, for the new bridge,
seem to present something of an obstruction to
the boats-probably because the water has risen
over them, and the pilots are as yet unacquainted
with their position. Two boats have already
struck upon them; one yesterday, carrying away
the empty barrel used as buoy. After few
more collisions, they will probably learn the
channel. sos
