At about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, lust

procession being near by, the bell of the Ed.

upon the assemblage was, of course, striking.
Then, again, when the Governor arrived on
the parade ground, as the customary salute

A RIDE WITH RoBBERs-Suicide. Hen
derson, Sept. l0.-On Thursday morning,
Judge Flandrau and Mr.. Pierson (of the Re-
porter, took the only vacant seats in the Man
kato and Shakopee stage, at Traverse des
Sioux. Upon arriving at lie Sueur, a mes
senger placed in Judge Flandrau's hands a
line from Superintendent Cullen, giving in
formation OF a robbery at Fort Ridgeley, of
three thousand dollars in gold government
funds. A Frenchman, a clerk in the commits
sary department, was the suspected party,
having suddenly left, in company with Ger
man soldier. Mr.. Cullen's note described
very accurately ttoo of the stage passengers,
who manifested considerable uneasiness, as re-
marks were made about the robbery. At
Lower lie Sueur the stage stopped, and some
of the passengers went quietly into the hotel
and prepared their revolvers so as effectually
to guard the suspected parties, while the mes
senger returned to Mr.. Henderson to procure
warrant for their arrest.
AS the stage approached Henderson, large
crowd was observed collected about the hotel,
which seemed to increase the agitation of the
suspected parties, who, by the way, carried an
empty looking satchel, which betokened
weight. The moment the stage stopped, this
man drew q stout clasp knife, and instantly
plunged it to his heat, at the same instant
handing to Mr.. Flandrau his sAtchel, saying
"here is the money" and stepping out OF the
stage fell PROSTATE and expired in about forty
minutes.
Upon searching his person, about $4,000 was
found in a belt and distributed about bis
pockets, and the balance in the satchel. As
the stage left, the coroner had been sent for,
while the robbers companion was in charge
of the sheriff, to be taken back to Fort Ridge
ley,
The suicide is Frenchman named Emile
Rhoio, aged about twenty two years, seemed

Latest from NorfoI...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-A dispatch to the
Petersburg (va.) Express, from Norfolk, yester-
day, says the passengers saved by the Marine,
think that others have been rescued, as they saw
several lights in the distance on the fatal night
They entertain strong hopes ofthe safety of Cap
tain Herndon, who was on the wheel-house when
the ship went down. He was last seen clinging
to plank, struggling manfully for life.
When the survivors of the Marine entered the
parlor of the National Hotel at Norfolk, thrilling
scenes were presented. Ladies would look around
and failing to recognize husband, brother, or son.
would give utterance to their grefs in long cries,
or fall helpless to the floor. The scene was dis
tressng in the extreme, and beggars description.
A meeting of citizens was held for the relief of
the distressed, at which $500 were raised.
The clothing stores thrown open, and APP
parel furnished to many who were nearly naked.
Chief engineer Ashley will publish a card on
Monday, asking suspension of opinion.
DR.. Harvey of Placerville, awards great credit
to Capt Herndon, and all the officers except chief
engineer Ashley. They stood by their posts no.
bly,, and went down with the ship.
Great praise is also awarded to Capt. Johnson
of the Ellen, and his men.

AID TO PRE- EMPnoN. Not long since, the
editor of the Herald Of Freedom informed the
young ladies of Kanzas that they could pre-
empt 100 acres of land. Some OF, the strong
minded ones, who were disciples of his at that
time, sQuatted on different claims in the
Southern part of the territory, which has
lately come into market. The pre-. emption
law says =
1.-The individual claiming the benefits of
said acts must be either the head Of family
or widow. or single man over the age OF
twenty-one."
These young ladies', not fulfilling either of
the requirements, have adopted Mrs. Cum

to swear that they are the ahead of a family"

material The production Of goods has been too
great for the demand, and the only corrective is
partial stcPpage Of the supplies. This is render

Mr.. Jairus Putney, having fitted mill for ex.

ed him but about six gallons of very thin syrup,
or only twelfth part as much as there was ofthe
sap. This, he thinks, won't pay, and we think
SO, too. The trouble undoubtedly was, that Mr.
Ammidown cut his cane before it was in the prop
er state. The development of the saccharine
matter in the cane is an incident of the ripening
process When the cane is just heading out,
there is comparatively little sweetness in it, but
it increases constantly during the formation of
the seed, and until it is ripe enough to grow. The
experiments which have been made with the cane
in its proper state, show that its usual yield is

peIipents, therefore, as Mr.. Ammidowns, should
be no cause of encouragement. We infer that
his cane was cut too green, not only from the re-
suit of his experiment. but, also, because the
Press speaks of its being only some IL feet in
length. 1t is said that to get the greatest
amount of syrup or sugar, the head CT the cane
should be cut off as soon it comes out, and
then the cane should stand until about the time
