trance and forbade jenkins access to it,

ses. On Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Jenkins
accompanied by four friends we'll armed

held in high estimation, and his death is
deeply deplored.

IEDIAN BAYTLEs.-Thuse old enemies, the
Sioux and Chippewas. have recently been
s~calping each other to some purpose
in the vicinity of Shakopee, Minneso-
ia. The Sioux having recently entered
the Chippewa country in the northern
| part of Minnesota and borne off some thirty
a~ealps, the Chippewas determined 10 6e re-
venged, and $50 braves took the war-p1th
intending to make a descent on the Shak-Pay
tribe of Sioux and massacre them in the
night. They did not succeed, and Il regular
running hand-to-hand Indian fight OF three
hours ensued, during which several were
killed Oh each side. and more wounded
Both tribes claimed the victory, and
both had materials for a scalp Ounce
The people of Shakopee collected upon the
bluff, ard witnessed Indian kill Indian with
out any symptoms of regret. Further fights
are anticipated, as the enmiiy between the
CiippeWas and ;he Si9ux is Of long standing
and deep seated.
Tbs s.. Paul Minnesoiian of May 31st,
has Intelligence from Red Wood, the Sioux
Agency, that the Sioux are encamped there
in large numbers. 1t says:
"'rhere had been an engagement with the
Chippewas. who were in the immediate
neIghbofhood5 and the Giuux were dancing
over tire possession of fourteen scaIps. II
Vgas said that other Sioux parties in the neigh
borlsoed had eight more. The Chippewas
were believed to be 40 strong, with Hole
fu-tlIe-duy ut the head of them, and a heavy
engagement was expected to take place
soon.
Our last advices from the sect of war at
at Shahopee yesterday morning, is 10 the e.
Feet that all was quiet. The expected at
tack from the Coippewas had not taken place.
though it was confidently believed that 4

The MISSISSIPPI SLAVE TRADE.-A New

The Charlottesville (va) Advocate, which
journal rciu-ed TO credit the Delta's state
nienf, in the last issue says:
I've have seen once or twice recently,
newspaper paragraphs to the effect that the
African slave trade was successfully carried
on with some parts of the Gulf States. As
these reports were subsequently denied, and
because we could not think that such a pro-
ject could be Successful! in this The 18th CEN

the United States and the sentiment of civil

who was an eye witness Of what he tells.
that several cargoes Of native Africans have
been landed within the last twelve months
upon the banks of Peurl river, Mississippi
They were, it is true, brought over under the
mere pretext Of indentlred apprenticeship;
but no one doubts that they are, and will
continue to be slaves ia every sense of the
word, and for all time. These negroes were
scattered through the Southern counties of
Mississippi; they were sold at a low figure,
but still high enough TO make the enterprise
a profitable one for those engage in it. As
soon as they are placed in the field, the mas

ECCLESIASTICAL Law OF DIvoRcE-The
Assembly of the New School Presbyterian
Church, recently in session in Chicago, by a
vote of three to one, has made an important
decision upon the subject of marriage be-
tween parties divorced from other persons.
The facts are thus narrated in the Chicago
Times:
ga lady from Massachusetts came to To-
wa. and soon after applied for a divorce, up
on the ground that the conduct of her hus-
band towards her had been so violent and
unjust that she had TO fee from his roof;
and thus compelled by his conduct to quit his
roo, he had refused to provide fer her, ard
thus he had abandoned her. This applica-
lion for divorce rested entirely upon her own
testimony. and not being resisted, a decree
was granted diForcing her from her husband.
Shortly alter she and the Rev. Mr. Shields,
of Des Moines, were married. The Presby-
terry of Des Moiues took the matter into
Consideration, and while admitting the le-
guilty Of the divorce. underline laws of Iowa.
they decided That there had not been suii
| Gent cause shown, in { s%criptural point oil
view. TO justify the parties marrying. There
fore they deposed Mr. Shields. The action
of the Presbytery was reviewed by the Syn
cd OF Iowa, and they restored Mr, Shields
to his ministerial functions. The Rev
Thompson Bird brought the matter TO the
attention Of the General Assembly upon u
| complaint against the action Of the Synod,
and the matter has been debated pro and con
for several days. The result is as we have
stated-lhc action Of the Presbytery has
been endorsed, and, consequently, that o.
the Synod ~disapproved. This action of the
General Assembly cannot fail to attract
great attention. It wifi have one good eff
ieet at least-it viii prevent persons claim
ing TO be religious from rushing, upon trivia
! causes. 10 the courts for divorces, and then
rushing, with like haste, into matrimony.
