A NOVEL MEErING.-In accordance
with a previous arrangement, the en-
ployees of the American Telegraph Com
pany's lines, between Boston and Calais,
Me-, held meeting by telegraph, on
Tuesday evening, ed instant, at o'cl'k,
after the business of the line was con-
cluded for the day. The object of the
meeting was to take action upon the res
ignation of Asa F. Woodman, Esq, Su-
perintendent, in consequence of i'll health.
Thirty three Offices were represented,
running over circuit of TOO miles,
Several speeches We're delivered. and res
olutions passed. After having been in
session for an hour, the meeting adjourn
ed in great harmony and kindly feeling.
A sort of Irish meeting, each member of
il being at his own place all the time.

cutlasses. In vain they pressed-in vain
they thronged; they were everywhere
driven back upon the Rover's decks, or
pushed into the sea. They rushed fran
tically forward, but their hopes were use
less; they might as well have attempted
to force wall of iron, as to beat back
that rank of heroes. Some Of their oppo-
nents had seized huge spar and were
pushing the two vessels apart. They
separated-they were yards assunder-
and the unscathed English brig with
Yankee crew, sailed ahead, leaving the
shattered, harmless hulk of the Rover in
the quiet possession of hundred dis
tracted Britons.
Three of the widest huzzas that ever
yet rang upon the ocean, burst from the
lips of the victorious Americans, as the
star spangled banner unfolded itself from
the peak of their prize ; then pile after
pile of canvass rose upon her tapering
spars; and when that night the sun sought
its ocean bed, a wide waste Of blue water
rolled between the stately prize of the
Americans and the shattered wreck OF
their once gallant privateer.

The Albany Journal in commenting
upon the difference between English and
American merchants, remarks
I'VE have just laid down a copy of the
London Times, with the feeling that jour
nal always awakens in us-astonishment
at, and admiration of, the prodigious ex-
tent in which Englishmen, in the pur-
suit of wealth, advertise their business.
The. .vaunted editorial ability of the Times,
in our opinion, is more than matched
upon more than one American newspa-
per. But its advertising Supplement,
and its own solid columns of infinitely
varied announcements, are wonder as
unequaled in our journalism, as it is
characteristic of the most successful and
systematic property -acquirers on the face
of the earth. Whatever an Englishman
has to sell he advertises. The solid col
.umn of the London Times are reflec-
ton OF the industry of large portion of
the British people,"
The Evansville Journal truthfully re-
marks on the above extract:
"Show us newspaper whose columns
are at times crowded with new advertise
ments, and we will show you commu-
nifty alive with business and enterprise.
The age is moving one. A man that
stands still in these latter days" will, in
short time, find himself behind his COM
petitors."

upon them and killed four. None of the
whites were injured, with the exception
of one man, who received slight wound
in the hand, This, it appears, was the
signal, and Immediately upon the return
of the whites to the house, it was sur
rounded by about $50 Indian warriors.
A messenger who has just arrived, brings
the above statement, which is correct.
Word was sent to Traverse des Sioux
and St. Peters for assistance, and this
morning fifty of the citizens Of st. Peters
arrived under Captain Dodd's command,
and will probably reach the scene OF bat
tie tonight, as they left Mankato at 3
O'Clock this afternoon.
Another reinforcement will be mp from
Traverse in the morning to join the party.
The settlers from that neighborhood,
and in fact all through the country, are
alarmed and fleeing into town with their
families.
The account from the town of SPRING
field is taken from Mr.. Chiffins, who, as
we stated before, accompanied the soldiers
there, and is correct. The other IS cor
federated by different messengers, who
are going to and from Slocum's to this
place. Unbiased by the fever of excite
ment and alarm, if spared, l will give
you further intelligence as received. 5.
ST. PETERS, April 12th, A. M.
DEAR HowEs A terrible excitement
prevails here and above us. Reports
have come that the Indians have broke
out on the Blue Earth, Wawanton, and
are numbering the inhabitants. Some 40
men left Mankato yesterday, and like
number leave here this morning. Send
without delay, arms, ammunition and
provisions. We have sent with the vol
unteers all, or nearly all the provisions we
had. Gen. Dodd has taken the COM
mand, and has sent the express that takes
this to the fort, and to the acting
Governor. See that the acting Governor
acts. ours, HEzLEr.
General Dodd forwarded a letter by
Nelson to the acting Governor OF the Ter
ritory, (Mr. McCullough, signing HIM
self Commander of the western division
of Minnesota, calling upon him for troops,
arms, ammunition and camp equipment.
He also forwarded letter to Fort Smell
ing.
Act, fellow citizens, act! AT the Court
House this morning at 8 o'clock, let US
all rally, and let every man be ready to
drive back the invading devils now
making war upon us. ACT!

How LAZINEss MADE A MANS For

How LAZINEss MADE A MANS For
TUNE.-It has been common to sneer at
the lazy man as the one destined never
to prosper, and an example TO be Stunned
by those who would avoid misfortune and
i'll tidings in this worlds affairs. But
the Cincinnati Enquirer tells story of a
fellow, the LATEST dog for miles around
the country, who, a few years ago, became
possessed ofa certain property in Chicago.
Too indolent to take care of it, he gave
directions to have it sold, and did actually
dispose of it at various times, but was
too lazy to make out the deeds. Mean
while the property increased enormously
in value, and the delays caused by the
mans laziness placed him, at the end of
a few years, in the possession of an estate
worth some $500, 900, for which at first
he would gladly have accepted SEQ, 900.
There are men in these parts who, with
his chance, have laziness enough to be
worth untold millions.

We learn from Mr.. Sherman, of Red
Wing, that intelligence had been received
at that point on Wednesday last, that a
band of Indians, about six hundred in
number, had been committing depreda-
tions in the vicinity of Mankato.
The rumor said that Mankato was
burned and the inhabitants murdered.
There can be no doubt that several fami-
lies have been destroyed. The Indians
are dissatisfied band of Sioux, and are
doubtless the same who attacked the set
Element at Spirit Lake, of which the
readers of the Express d Herald have
already received the full particulars.
The inhabitants in the valley are crowd
ing into St. Peters for protection.
Troops from Fort Ridgely were in
pursuit of the marauding Indians, and
cavalry had been ordered from Fort
Smelling.
No little panic existed through the
country, and active measures were being
taken to drive the hostile band from the
country.
We also learn from our informant thai
the settlers murdered at Spirit Lake were
originally from Red Wing.
Mankato is about eighty miles from
Red Wing, and about twelve from St
Peters.

THE PRIVATEER.

1t was one of those beautiful DAYS,
which all who navigate the ocean have
often experienced within the tropics. The
sun had just risen, sparkling with fresh
ness from his watery bed, and was slowly
wheeling through host of gorgeous
clouds, that aoated majestically along the
horizon an invigorating influence per-
vaded the scene, and fine breeze that
came sweeping across the sea promised
to preserve the balmy and delicious tenn
perature that the cooling dews of the
previous night had impaired to the at
mosphere.
That night of the caribbean Sea to
which we would direct the readers atten-
ton, was on the day described, enlivened
by the appearance of feet of vessels of
war, in hot pursuit of a small clipper
brig, which held advance at about the
distance of five miles. This body of ships
comprised part of the British West
India squadron, and had been dispatched
by the admiral of that station to Halifax,
in order to render more efficient protec-
ton to their possessions and commerce
in that quarter, as the depredations of the
American privateers were daily becoming
more bold and frequent. This squadron
had been sailing in close order during
the night, but at the time our scene opens,
it had been broken, in consequence Of the
comodore throwing out signal to make
all sail and endeavor to come up with the
chase. Each ship of the feet, therefore,
in accordance with the order, made all
sail; the swifter vessels were ranging
ahead, while the duller sailors were OBJ
served dropping astern, and taking their
stations in the rear. The ship of the
commander of the squadron, frigate of
the first class, held her place in about
the center Of the fleet /; three heavy COR
vettes brought up the rear, while the
advance was maintained by body of
smaller vessels. A beautiful eighteen
gun brig. that had that morning formed
one Of the rear line, now led the extreme
van. She had passed every vessel of the
squadron successfully, and was now
gradually dropping them with speed
that held out every prospect Of overhaul
ing the chase. The wind was right aft,
and each ship had her studdingsails out
on either side. Piles of white canvass
rose above the dark hulls that loomed
dimly beneath them, and the surface of
the sea seemed one vast expanse of snowy
pyramids. Leaving the squadron to
MAKE the best of their way, the reader
must imagine himself upon the quarter
deck OF the little brig. upon whose cap
ture they were all 50 eagerly bent.

1t is related by the celebrated historian
Herodotus, that Histaus, the Milesian,
being detained prisoner by Darius, and
all correspondence being interdicted, he
shaved mans head, wrote dispatch
upon it, and kept the man out of sight
till his hair grew. The living letter was
then sent, and the person to whom it was
addressed, upon shaving the messengers
head, found the news there inscribed.

in was large turtle. To enjoy the sur

her bed room. The next mrrning the

A CHINESE SIGN.-The love of fun is
not unknown among the serious-looking
Cinnamon. An English storekeeper,
wishing to advertise his articles in the
Chinese language, engaged Chinaman
to paint him sign. 1t did not answer
expectation, for the only perceptible ef-
feet it had on the Chinese was to excite
grin. BY bribe, he obtained translation
in English, and found it to be as follows:

LATER INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE PIONEER OF TO-DAY.
We are under obligations to the Clerk
of the Yeatman, for to-days Pioneer, and
Times.
Both contain later news from the seat
of war, and the following letter to the
Pioneer, gives the fullest details the
veracity of its author is affirmed to by
the editors of that paper.
MASKATo, April 12.
MEssRs. EDITORS In our last we en-
deavored to inform the public through
your columns, of the state of affairs on
the Des Moines and particularly at Spirit
Lake. The messengers which had been
despatched to Fort Ridgely, together
with the soldiers, left here on the morn
ing of the Esd ult., and proceeded to
Springfield, on the Des Moines, Is miles
from the scene of depredations. They
reached Springfield on Saturday, the 4th
of April; the soldiers were still in doubt
as to the correctness of the report, but
upon entering the town what was their
surprise to find that the Indians had been
there-that on Tuesday, April Cd, band
of Sioux had attacked the town, killed
seven, wounded three, and carried four
women into captivity. The Captain i'm
mediately dispatched company to the
Fort for reinforcement and provisions.
Among the killed was William Wood,
George F. Wood, Josiah Stewart and Mr..
Church.
The attack was made without provoca-
ton, and unsuspected by the settlers.
VIM. Wood was an old resident of Man
kato, and trader at Springfield.
1t appears that in the commencement,
he went out to the bank of the river to
talk to the Indians, and as he turned
about to 60 home he was shot dead, and
Immediately set on FIRE, his body when
found being awfully burned. Several of
the citizens were temporarily absent, but
have since returned. Those that fortified
themselves escaped being murdered. Two
Indians were killed; one was shot by Mrs
Church, who loaded guns for the men in
one of the houses. The names of the
women taken prisoners we do not know,
with the exception of two, Mrs. Marvel
and Miss Gardener.
MIR. Chefins, the messenger who was
sent first to the Fort, has since returned
from Springfield, and says he buried FIVE
men in one grave, the day before he left.
He reached Isaac Slocum's on the Waton-
wan river, twenty miles from Mankato, on
Thursday last, and reached this place on
Friday evening. Mr. Slocum sent down
to Mankato for assistance (as he antici-
pated danger) by Mr.. Cheffins, who
brought the sad intelligence of the mas
sacre.
A large meeting was Immediately held,
and thirty eight volunteers, well equipped,
were sent to their assistance. They
reached Slocum's on Saturday night and
found Indians there. DIR. w. +. Lewis
was chosen Captain, and with few men
went over to the tents where they found
nine Indians, who Immediately ran at the
appearance of the whites, throwing their
hatchets into the air, and firing at the
whites. The whites Immediately charged

THE CAMELs AT Work. The San
Antonio, Texas Daily Times says:
Twenty-Five camels have just passed
through our city, loaded with about 600
pounds each, returning to their place of
rendezvous, which is about seventy miles
from here. There are dromendaries also
with them, and seated on the tops of these
camels and dromendaries are Arabs and
Turks, dressed in the costume Of their
own country"
