Minnesota Indian War.

Effective measures have been taken by
Gov. Medary and the Indian Agent, for the
rescue of the four white women in the hands
of the Savages.S We learn that a compa-
ny of Calvary has been ordered to Mime
sofa, and that the United States Govern
ment has directed that companies of troops
be stationed on the, frontierfto protect the
settlers. This is right, and we can safely
say, there is now no further danger.
The amount of property destroyed by
these Indians, cannot be less than $50, 900,
for which Government should by all means
make the settlers remuneration. AT least
100 head of cattle have been killed; from
40 to so horses and mules carried away; a
considerable number of hogs killed and G.
ven the cats and dogs were destroyed, ex-
hibiting a fiendish spirit which is charac-
teristic of the Indian. A large amount
of Merchandise, arms, ammunition and furs
were obtained from the trailing houses
Stoves and other household furniture of no
earthly use to the Indians, were recklessly
broken into thousand peiccs
r As regards the Spirit Lake affair, from
which point Mr.. Wardlaw has just return
ed, where he has been acting in the capaci-
ty of Administrator on the estate of the
Messrs. Wood one of whom came to the
Territory with him, he informs us that the
story of the murder of the settlers at that
place is too sad and too true. 1t seems
that the difficulty originated at a place call
ed Grass Lake, in Iowa, where how many
were killed, it is impossible to tell. The
Indians then moved to Spirit Lake, the
largest proportion of the settlement OF
which lies in Minnesota Territory Here
all were killed. Thirty-nine bodies were
buried by the troops. None was spared,
neither the stalwart man, the vigorous youth,
the feeble child or the innofensive woman
with the exception of the four females in
captivity fell beneath the relentless weap-
on of the savage.-S. Paul Times, 17M

The Senate COMMITTEES to investigate the
alleged frauds in securing the passage of the
Bank Charter is now in session at Indianap-
olis.~ Withina fewaays some startling tes-
timony has been elected, the substance of
which we. find in the Indiana Journal OF the
23d, as follows: 131SfSf afI1
MIR M'MURRAy, representative of Putnam
county, swears: "When the bill was on its
passage In the House previous to the Gov
ernor's veto, / voted No. My vote is
wrongfully recorded AYE" The bill was
passed, it will be remembered, by just one
majority. We presume that such an error,
if it be really sone. would not affect the le-
gal character of the Charter, whatever it
might dispose. people to think of the way
the Charter was passed. Mr.. M'Murray
was examined on Tuesday. He further
saws he did not discover the error in the
record of his vote till the Thursday prece-
ding. when Mr.. Henry Secrest spoke OF it,
ALEXANDER F. MoRRIsoN of this city,
examined within day or two pass makes
a rather queer revelation. We copy his
evidence verbatim, so far as it relates to the
interesting point in question: iN1q
s3There was deposit of gold made in the
Metropolitan Bank, in which was at that
time Interested Said gold was to be re-
paid in kind or coin when demanded
When the bank stock was to be paid, de-
mand was made by the depositor with a
statement that it was required to pay the
first half of the stock subscribed in the
Bank for the benefit of Thomas ID. Wal
pole. The deposite was made by John NJ.
Talbot Learned that said money was a
part of the money given to Thomas ID.
Walpole for the withdrawal of his opposi-
ton to the passage of the bill. L learned
this from j. NJ Talbot and others. The
amount was said to be 81 200. do not
think so great an amount was deposited
Gov. Willard told me that he had heard OF
the transaction. THE Governor was an
active agent in securing the passage of the
charter.-ED. JouENAL) 1t was abont
the time of the withdrawing of the money
| that Talbot told me what it was for, and
said that Walpole had made pretty good
thing of it,--that he had been well paid
besides having stock set aside for him. -
That will do for the present.
We do not suppose, says the Journal
that this or any evidence can injure the
Bank in the hands into which it. has now
passed, for few of the holders at present
were concerned in tae passage Of the char
ter, or the subscribing of the stock, but il
may damage the worthy gentleman con.
cerned in these transactions, of which they
have no explanation to offer. The most re-
lnarkable point in the case is the statement
that Gov. Willard said he had heard Of The

GovERNoRsHIP OF UTAH-ARRvAL Of
JUDGE DRuMMoSD. i-t . lfri
Oh to the N. Y. Tinesl

WASHINGTON, May II.
Much interest is excited here by the arri-
val of Hon. w. w. Drummond, late Judge
of Utah Territory The Judge, who is the
observed of all observers, is, from his
personal appearance, very different from
what the community have generally con-
ceivcd. In height he is not six feet tall
He is well bnilt, possessing evidently a
good constitution, with an iron will and
fixed determination of purpose.
The best informed here in regard to Utah
do not credit the story of Brigham Young's
flight from Great Salt Lake. The rumor
probably started by Young himself for the
purpose of allaying anticipated excitement
here in regard to recent transactions in
Mormondom, and so to prevent the de-
parture of an expedition against him until
it shall be too late TO attempt it this year
a letter from a Federal officer at Salt
Lake City, dated March D, states that Ara
peen, the Pall- Utah Indian Chief, had been
in, AMI stated that Brigham Young was
urging him to accompany him in an expo
dltlon which he abs to make som :
where to the North. Nobody seemed to
know the object Of the expedition, although
Arapeen indicated that ioung's intentions
were hostile to the Gentle whites, and ex-
pressed his unwillingncss to join it.
1t was generally known in Salt Lake that
several of their lea;lers, including Young,
contemplated trip somewhere during the
month of April, taking with them some
three hundred men One rumor was that
they intended to take possession of Bitter
Root Valley in Washington Territory
Another rumor and the most probable one
is, that they were going into the Indian
country, to cndeavor to excite the natives
to join them in resisting anticipated at
tacks from United States troops. The
vague report that Young had fed the Ter
ritory probably grew out Of these fears.
1t is understood here that Turner Nelson
has declined the appointment of Superin
tcndent of Indian affairs in Utah. He has
been telegraphcl 20 notify the Depart
mcnt Immediately if this is the fact as it
is desired to fill the place as early as posi-
! bic.
Icannot learn that the Administration
has definitely determined to send force to
Utah this season.

Pht.burg. Fit. Wayne & Chicago r.. r..
We have for some time past been 81
lent observer of the doings of this Road,
watching its workings, its connections, its
officers, and the manner in which they sew
orally discharge their arduous duties, and
must say, for promptness, ability and gem
tlemanly treatment of all with whom they
have deal, they are not surpassed in this or
any other country. We have been over
this Road, and can speak from experience
of its workings 1t is not yet completed
in all of its qualifications, but so far as tbs,
none can complain of it; and as a great
throughfare connecting the East with the
West it will eventually successfully COM
pete with its great rivals.
1t shortens the distance between Chicago
and New York just tifty-one miles, and be-
tween Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington, about fifty miles, connecting with
the Pennsyvania Central r. r., which is
certainly one of. the finest works in the
world. eal 5Asi '.iis2a'' aA
Western merchants who go East to
purchase their goods, by taking this route
have not only as quick a passage, but the
advantage,of competition in markets, which
is no small item. New York and Phil
adeldhia are rival cities, each competing
for the palm of trade. And what intclli-
gent merchant does not understand this
advantage?
Surely opposition is the life of bust
ness, and particularly among tradesmen.
p The cheaper merchants buy their goods,
the cheaper they can afford to sell them,
and the more the farmer, the mechanic
and all consumers can afford to purchase
of them.
Hence all branches of tralc and indus
try will be largely benefited - 80 o'i
Then we say to our merchants go to the
cheapest and best markets, over the short
and most feasible route, make yourselves
and your goods generally useful to com
munity, and they in turn will be useful to
you. ~ ~ s1 ilg'n se

More Prescription.

We give the following as we heard it, as
an illustration Of the prescription and in
tolerance Of the bogus Democracy in this
part of the country: A few days ago a
countryman stepped into one of the bust

price of certain articles. Before purcha-
sing any thing however, his eye fell ON

every man had the privilege of doing as
he pleased in this country. Upon which
this disciple of modern Democracy stepped
out at the door in the most pompous and
lordly style. i6
