Up River Items. ..5 ...,
81 We are indebted to Dr. Abercrombie 10
st. Paul, Dubuque and other up river papers o
late dates. We cut few items from the St
Paul Pioneer of Sunday last, from which we are
inclined to believe we are yet to have another

In THE WArER.-About fifty Irish shanties in
Lower Town are now surrounded with water, in
many OF them the water being over the floor
In making an examination of that eighboriood
yesterday we were astonished that there had
been no cases Of drowning among the childrcE,
who more numerous than convenient in
such contracted domicils. .-st fs t7oFs aea
/ LoGs. s.-During the whole of last week, logs
have been floating down by st. Paul, at times SO
| thickly as to interfere with the progress of up
I river boats. We have heard it reported that
the Rice Creek boom and boon at st. Anthony
had been cut, letting the logs loose; and the
! present high water has also loosened great
many Jams" besides making it pretty difficult
booming those logs now coming down. ,....-
The SroRM.-For nearly two weeks past, with
the exception of couple of days, the rain has
| continued to fall almost incessantly-as fast as
one shower dwindles out; another far more CO.
| pious follows in its wake. Never, since the first
settlement in this Territory, we believe, has the
| sky wore such sombre and dismal appearance,
| for SO long and uninterrupted period. The
consequence Is, the mud in our stree il almost
intolerable, pedestrians look gum, and vegeta-
! ton is rather green" Eyervbody collar is
| full of water, and everybody wishes the comet
| coed lnni., il ito Iinauanaa ia strong enough

| We find in the same paper the following upon
| that deeply interesting subject the
FATE OF THE CAPTIVE WoMEN-No reliable
information, SO far learn, has been
| received hom the Indians sent out by agent
Fiandreau, for the rescue of the two captive
women; but we are panied to announce, that
we have information concerning the women,
whom they were sent after, which is apparently
| reliable; and which conveys the appalling intel
ligence, that Mrs. Noble had been murdered,
and that Miss Gardiner had been put up on the
side of u hill as target for the shots of the
murderous fends, the result of which was that
both her legs were broken, and she was left in
that condition to die. -
Fortunately, some stropg Yankton Indians
discovered her, and removed her to the Mission
Station on Yellow Medicine, where she is now
receiving all the care possible; ana as soon MS
convenient will be brought 10 this city.
The Information convey cd above comes ,hrO'
E. E. Paalding, Esq, of St. Peter, who returned
last Thursday, from trip to Redwood; and who
feels satisfied in his own mind OF lis truth
The final act in this tragedy ought soon to
close. The murderers have done their worst,
and there are now no cuptives with them whose
lives would be endangered by hostile demon
STATIONS. Let the government now act, and let
vengeance be speedy and terrible upon the out
laws. As they have shown no mercy, let none
be shown to them.
A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC ALLUsIoN-Mr. Win
throp, of Massachusetts,. in his address to the
Musical Festival in Boston last week, aludes to
the contemplated submarine telegraph, in these
words: .a . -g
"On Christmas eve, in the year 1914 the trea.
ty of peace between England and the g. S. was
signed at Ghent-a worthy commemoraiIon OF
that blessed event when the herald angels were
heard singing on the plains of Bethlehem
''Peace on earth, and good will TO all men," But
that treaty was not known on this side OF the
ocean for six or seven weeks alter its date. TIE
great battle of New Orleans, as you all know
was fought at least two weeks after the signing
Of that treaty. Our modern system of railroads
and steamers and telegraphs might have saved
that eflusiOn OF fraternal blood-mght have de.
privcd individual heroes-might have deprived
our country and its history--of ali the glory
belonging to that really great victory. II that
gigantic ocean harp, which is at this moment in
the process of being strung--whose deep diapa-
son Is destined to a more magical music on the
sea than mythology or modern fable ever ascr-
bed to syren, mermaid or Arion-ii the myste-
rious gamut of that profound submarine chord
had been in successful operation then, as we
hope it soon will be between St. Johns and
Valentla Bay; those cotton bag ramparts at New
Orleans might never have been celebrated in
history-while, of those who sallantly defended
them, many of them would not have been laid
so low, and some perhaps would hardly have
risen so high" " .g.Es.5 80 rh
A FALL IN SUGAR.-for the past month, high
as sugar was before, it has continued to advance
u quarter or half cent week, and is still ii
sing. But there is reason to hope TOR decline
before next Christmas. The crops are prurnis-
ing Production has been largely stimulated
by the high prices of two years past. Con.
sumption has somewhat diminished. Stocks
ha We increased, and the Louisiana crop, which
will be in by October or November, viii be four
times greater than last year. The Eae pro-
duc,ion has been enormous, and if the expert
| ments with the Chinese cane should result in
| nothing but syrup, the increase of saccharine
matter will be lsrge;-so that specula,ors who
have bought for a rise will find that sugars
must have fall. Louisiana, maple, and Sor-
ghum, with a restraint on consumption, will
prove too strong combination for them.-St.
Louis Rep. z .-s.. -
